Wesley and Cordelia turns and looks at Kathy as she carries Angel into the house.

"Is he..?" Cordelia starts.

"No, he's alive, but not for long. He needs blood, now."

"But..." Wesley says, looking around in the empty room. "There's nothing here."

"I know" she says, placing Angel up against the wall. He looks at her, seeming to be far away.

"Kathy...I...what.."

"You know what to do Angel" she says, pulling her hair back, showing off her own neck.

"I don't need all this blood, and if you don't drink, you will die."

"I can't"

"Yes you can. It is the only way."

Closing his eyes, Angel moves closer. Wesley and Cordelia holds their breath, well knowing that Angel will die soon if he don't drink something now.

Changing face, he bites, and the sweet taste of cold blood fills his mouth, sending him back in time.

********************

/Her laughter filled the room, followed by the last scream from the girl. Her life is over now, but her death was her salvation, for a time.

He walks forward, leaning against the chains who holds him back. She turns around, and drops the pale body. Smiling she moves closer, growling in her throat, that sensual growling that always turned him on.

"What is it my angel. Hungry?"

Growling back he leans more on the chains, smiling at her.

"Oh, you want me to take them off?"

"No, I want you to come here."

She moves closer, smiling at him. Lifting her hand to push his hair back, he grabs her, bringing her close to his face.

"You smell so..." He licks her ear, and she relax in his arms as he nibbles down her neck, resting his tounge at the bottom, before he bites, dragging the cold blood out of her, feeling the ecstasy.

The bite was the most intimate thing between them, as with most vampires, and he loved it.

She was evil itself, and he was her slave, meant to fill her every need. And he loved it.

Moving her head back, she looks at him and smiles as she unlocks the chains.

"That is enough for now my angel. For now."

"For now. Come" he says, dragging her towards the bedroom. Seeing where he's headed she laughs.

"I love you. I always will. You are meae Deliciae, forever" /

********************

Kathy falls back as he licks her wound, and the flashing images fade away.

He raises his head and looks at her, as she gets to her feet.

"You should get home. I'll join you soon, just have to fix something first."

As they walks out the door, Angel looks back at her and smiles.

"Thank you Kathy."

She smiles, and turns around, images flashing in front of her eyes, and she falls down, well knowing of what is happening.

********************

"So Angel, tell me. What happened in there?"

"Nothing much. But I know what they raised in that box."

"You do? What?"

"Darla"

"Who?" Wes looks at him. "You don't mean..."

"My sire is back Wesley. And I don't know if I can kill her once again."

"What are you talking about Angel, of course you can" Cordelia says.

"It's different. She is my Sire, and she does have some kind of control over me. I can't explain it for you, I don't know how, but I know I can't kill her."

"I can"

Walking into the office, Kathy sits down on the floor.

"I can kill her Angel. Now, we gotta go now"

"Where, to kill her?" Cordelia looks from Angel to Kathy.

"To Sunnydale. The time has come, and they will need out help."

"I can't go back. The last time I was there, I beat up Buffy's boyfriend."

"So? He's still alive isn't he?"

"Yeah. but.."

"No buts. The Time of Preparation is coming. They are setting it up in Sunnydale, and we have to go. It's our Destiny."

"Destiny. What do you mean?"

"I'll explain on the way, now can we go?"

Raising his eyebrows, Angel leads the way out to the car. He wonders what she means. There was something about her. The flashback, the way she talked, her behavior. Something was not right, but what?

********************

"And that is how I killed the pointy demon." Buffy says, sitting down on Riley's lap.

"Sounds intense" Willow says from her place next to Tara.

Xander looks from Buffy to Willow, trying to ignore the drinking vampire next to him. Spike really didn't care who saw him feed these days.

"Spike, could you go somewhere else to drink that?"

"Why. Does it bother you Xander?"

"Yeah, it does"

"Oh sod off"

Buffy gets up and is about to say something when she hears a knock on the door. Giles looks at them, and gets up.

"I'll get it."

Opening the door, Cordelia and Wesley walks in. Angel follows slowly, looking at Giles. Kathy stops in the doorway, not able to enter.

"Angel" she says, and he looks at Giles.

"Invite her in"

Giles looks strangely at him, but does as he says.

Once inside, Kathy looks around, recognizing some faces, but not all.

Buffy gets up and looks at Angel, followed by Riley, but Angels attention is at the vampire next to Xander.

"Spike."

"Angel"

"What are you doing here Spike?"

"I'm helping."

"Helping? As far as I can remember, you're not so good at that. You usually make a mess."

"Shut up Angel"

Riley looks from one vampire to the other.

"You two know each other?"

"Angel is Spike's sire" Buffy says.

"What are you doing here Angel" she continues.

He turns to look at Kathy. She steps forward, looking at Giles.

"You have the Prophecies of Amanthar?"

"A translation yes? Why?"

"You don't have the original?"

"I do, but it is written in an old ancient language no one has been able to read for over two thousand years. The translation itself is a thousand years old, translated from an exact translation."

"You are saying that you have a translation of a translation?"

"Yes. Why are you asking about that?"

"Have you read it?"

"No, I haven't had time. The language is hard, and the book is half rotten, I never dared to touch it."

"Where is it?"

"Oh, in here"

As he goes to find it, Buffy walks over to Angel, but her eyes remain on the new vampire.

"You brought a friend, a vampire friend."

"Kathy, this is Buffy, Buffy this is Kathy"

"Buffy"

"Oh, I've seen you before, you were here with Cordelia right. Just one question Angel, what is she doing here?"

"She's helping me."

"Oh. So, there's nothing going on between the two of you?"

"What do you care?" Kathy says, turning towards the slayer. "You have a new boyfriend. What he does is none of your business. But no, we do not date now."

"Now. Wait, you used to?"

"Long story, don't have time" she says, turning back to Giles who is returning with the book.

Opening it, she bangs her head into the table.

"This is horrible. Nothing here is translated right. Giles, can you get a hold of the original?"

"Yes."

"The do it. Angel, meet me at the cemetery tonight, midnight. There's something I have to get."

"OK"

********************

She looks at them, waiting for her. Angel had brought them all, and they were getting impatient. She had already made them wait for two hours. But she had to. Angel would know seen enough, but the time was getting closer. It was time to give them what they needed.

"Angel" she says, and walks over to him, ignoring the others.

"What took you so long?" he asks.

"I had to get something. Here's the book" she says and hands it to Giles. With her other hand she takes something out from under her coat.

********************

/ "Do you like it" he says, looking at her.

"I love it Angel" she says, holding up the golden stake. He had had it made just for her.

"Be careful." he says, taking it out of her hands and putting it on the table.

"I love you my Angel"

"I love you too"

"I'll always love you. Remember that, always"

********************

They all go quiet when she takes out the golden stake, handing it to Angel.

"A little present. Remember it"s story when you translate the book. The answers, you already have, they are hidden in your mind Angel. All you have to do is open up. Remember your past Angel. Tra memini praeter, meae Deliciae, meae Dilectus Deliciae"

As she turns and walk away, Angel drops the stake, for he remembers, and fear fills him.
