While driving on the freeway, Buffy thought of her conversation with Angel
on the phone earlier. He said that something happened and that he needed to
see her tonight. He had also said he got her message from the hotel, but
this couldn't wait. She didn't know what was going on, but she was worried.
Angel sounded serious on the phone and she wondered what was going on. It
was raining hard and Giles' small car didn't seem to do well on the road.
She wasn't used to driving a stick shift, or driving at all for that
matter. She felt bad about leaving Giles in the middle of a conversation
and she would call and apologize when she got to Angel's. Giles was also
telling her something important, but in light of resent events, she forgot
what it was about. Dawn would surely be mad, and Buffy couldn't blame her.
She had planed on talking to her tonight, but it didn't work out. She hoped
what ever was going on wouldn't take long. She had just got home and she
wanted to stay there. What if Orhyai was back in action! She hadn't even
thought of it. He could be working up some major mojo and Angel couldn't
handle it alone. She sped up as she saw the Welcome to Los Angeles sign.
She would be there shortly.
Buffy should be here soon. He had to speed up this process a little bit when he remembered he had missed something. Buffy probably told Giles about the curse and he most likely looked into it. The old man would find out that Angel was not his normal self and then everything would be ruined. He himself looked into the spell. It could not be reversed like the last one. This was harder and probably impossible for them to achieve before he got a hold of Buffy. He could tell she sounded worried on the phone, and he was glad. He was going to sit her down and tell her that the gypsies had now allowed him to love with a soul. Then would be tears and Buffy would be happy. It sounded perfect. He was about to go turn down the bed, when he heard a car pull in the driveway and someone coming up the walk way.
"Angel," Buffy ran in and saw him stand near the stairs. She ran over to him.
"What's wrong, I was so worried. Are you okay? Is Orhyai back in action?"
"Buffy, sit down. I'm sorry I worried you. I thought something bad was happening, but it turned out to be good."
"Good. What is good?"
"I am. Buffy the curse is broken. I still have my soul, but I can love. A gypsy came in here and told me I had paid my dept and that I had suffered enough. They realized all the good I had done, and they reward me for it!"
Buffy stood up, and her eyes began to tear up. Angel stood up with her.
"This is it? You call me and scared the Hell out of me to tell me this? Angel, I don't know if I want a life with you anymore. Do you realize that Orhyai tried to take your soul? That is what it was all about a few nights ago. I saved you, and you threw me out."
"Buffy, I'm sorry. I was so worried about you that night, I thought I lost you again and I didn't understand. Please, don't be mad. When the gypsy came to me, I didn't know what he meant. I called you because I panicked. After I hung up, I felt it. It felt like a burden being lifted. I didn't know at the time. I'm sorry Buffy."
He turned away from her and she realized that she hurt him again. This was a wonderful thing, and she was acting like a bitch about it. She touched his arm and he turned and looked at her.
"Angel I'm sorry. I am so happy for you. This is a great opportunity and I wasn't thinking clearly. I didn't mean to hurt you."
He hugged her. "Its okay Buffy. Everything will be okay now. Let's start over, okay?"
"Okay."
He took her hand and led her upstairs. It had been a long day and this would be a good way to end it. The door closed behind them.

Angel woke up and looked at the clock. It was 6:30 in the morning and Angel was exhausted. They didn't end up sleeping till 1 or 2. He looked over and saw Buffy sleeping peacefully next to him. He reached over and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" There was a pause, then he tried again. "Hello, who is this?" The person hung up the Angel did the same. Then he remembered he heard something on the other line. It sounded like someone cleaning his or her glasses, Giles. What was he going to do about him? He decided to call him back and give him the same story he gave Buffy. He dialed the number to the Magic Shop.
"Hello, Giles? This is Angel. Did you just call?" (Giles answers) " That's what I thought, dropped the phone. (Giles talks) "Everything is fine here. It is an interesting story."
Angel told Giles the whole story and he seemed to buy it. He told him that he would have Buffy call him when she woke up, and that was the end of the conversation. It was a close call, but Giles seemed satisfied. Buffy started to stir and then her eyes opened up and looked at him. She smiled and he kissed her on the check.
"Good morning beautiful, did you sleep well?"
"Sleep? We slept?" she joked. Angel smiling down at her was great. She had missed him and hated when they fought. She was happy they were together and not fighting. It seemed almost too perfect. No, she would not let herself do this. Just because she was happy didn't mean something was wrong. Everything was fine.
"You're funny. Giles called and checked in. I told him you would call him when you had a chance."
"Then I better call him now," she moaned and reached for the phone. But Angel stopped her. He reached over took the phone off the hook. She looked at him for an answer.
"Who said you weren't busy?" He kissed her and she laughed. "You can call him later, not now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He woke up a few hours later and Buffy was gone. He quickly dressed and went down stairs to look for her. She was drinking coffee at the table and reading the paper. She was dressed in one of his shirts and looked adorable. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Sorry, I woke up and needed to move a bit. How are you doing?"
"Good, do you have anything going on this week? I was hoping we could just lounge around."
"Oh sorry, I can't. I called Giles and it seems like it is getting pretty busy at home. I have to leave tonight. I'm driving home and Giles expects me home by 6:00. I'm sorry. I will be back this weekend and we can find out what our next step will be. You could always move back to Sunnydale if you wanted to. I know you love it here, so maybe for the time being we can see each other on the weekends."
Buffy looked at Angel and he seemed to be deep in thought. He also looked a bit mad. Was he upset because she was leaving so soon? He surely knew that her Slayer duties came first. She got up and walked to him.
"Angel, what's wrong. You know I have to go. This is my job, we will work it out." He looked at her and said, "Buffy, I'm sorry."
"Sorry, about what?"
But before he answered, he grabbed one of his weapons nearby and hit her over the head with it. She fell to the ground and blacked out. He picked her up, carried her to the basement, and chained her up. He made sure the chains were strong enough, and he knew she couldn't escape. Giles had ruined everything once more. He was hoping not to have to do this for a few days but he couldn't help it. When Giles called the next day asking where Buffy was, Angel would tell him that she left at 5:00 and hadn't seen her since. He looked at Buffy helplessly. He would talk to her, then drink her tonight, before Giles could do anything. He would do it now, but he wanted her awake. Besides, if he was going to make her into a vampire, she would have to drink him as well. He couldn't wait for Buffy to drink him and become like him. He hoped she would wake soon.
She woke up and tried to remember what happened. It was dark and when she tried to move, she found she was chained to the wall. She was upright and the chains were firmly in the wall, she could not move at all. There was a restraint on her forehead so she could not move her head at all either. Then she remembered Angel had done this. Why would he do this unless, unless he didn't have a soul. Maybe the curse hadn't been lifted and when they were together the night before, he lost his soul. No, that wasn't it. He had been acting strangely before she even left for home the first time. Then she remembered what her and Giles were talking about before she left. He was saying that the spell Orhyai had performed on Angel could only be done at. That was all he said because the phone interrupted him. He was going to say that the spell could only be done at midnight (she figured it was the only possible answer). It was all a trick. Angel was evil when she saw him that night and Orhyai knew it. That was why Angel was made her come back and was mad because she was leaving. It all made sense. But why was she chained like this? He was going to drink her, that is what the head restraints were for! She couldn't do anything now, and she was scared. Maybe Giles would come for her. Then she heard the door open and the light was switched on. Angel walked down stairs.
" You have been sleeping a while. By the look on your face, it seems you have it all figured out. Everything from the start, I am proud. You always have been smart. But I bet you didn't know this. I'm not only going to drink you; I will turn you into a vampire. Together, we will rule and be great. You will thank me and our love will be eternal."
She started to cry and shiver a bit.
"You can kill me, but you will not make me into a vampire. I have to drink from you as well and I will not do it!"
"Sorry Buffy, you are wrong about that. Once I drink you, you will want to be a vampire. Trust me, I've been through it and I have done it a lot. They always say the wont drink, they always do, they always do."
He moved close to her and wiped a tear from her face. He kissed her, and he almost thought he felt her kiss him back. She loved him and she couldn't do anything to change it.
"Angel," she whispered. "Please don't do this. If you love me, you wont. You will let me live."
"Oh Buffy, I do love you. You are perfect for me. And this transformation will make it complete. Don't worry, you will love it!"
He moved her hair from her neck and kissed her. His face changed and Buffy whimpered as he began to pierce her skin. He slowly drank her and it was wonderful. She began, as he knew she would, to move towards him wanting more. He undid her head restraint and drank more. She moaned and moved into him more. She was enjoying this as much as he was. He had to stop soon or he would kill her, but this was always the best part. He moved away and took a knife a cut himself slightly on his throat. He moved to her again except this time she drank some of him. She wanted to have him all as he did with her. As drank him he held he savoring the moment and she started to drink more. He let her take as much as she wanted, because she couldn't drink too much. He remembered he drank all of Darila. She drank for a little longer and he felt her change. She moved away and fangs showed from her mouth, he had succeeded.
"Angelus," she cried wanting him to let her go. He gladly undid the chains and she kissed him. She held him and kissed him. He kissed her back. "Thank you Angelus, thank you." She smiled at him. He kissed her on the neck where he had bitten her. "Take what you want Angel, you can drink me, I wont die." She laughed and he smiled and drank a bit more. He turned off the lights. "I love you," he said. " Oh Angelus, I love you too!" she cried as he kissed her and moved her closer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Third part of the story will be there shortly. Now I know you hate me right now, but the story is not over yet. Please don't tell me you hate that she is a vampire until after the story is done. Then you will see.
