Part 6: Reversing
"Hello?" yawned the girl as she pulled open the door.
"Rebecca Paige? I'm Buffy Summers. Can you please come with me?"
"What?"
"You recently gave a heartbeat to a friend of mine, but something's gone terribly wrong and we need you to...reverse the spell."
"Oh. Okay then."
Half an hour later, they walked through the library doors. Angel was still out cold, and the others were back already. Rebecca stared at her saviour in sorrow.
"I wonder..." Giles mused.
"Wonder what?" Willow asked. Giles looked at her, then back at Angel.
"I was wondering if the spell was specific enough. Sure, he has a heart beat. We could give him that easily. But did it banish Angelus. Obviously not. So Angelus must have manifested himself into Angel's mind, so that he is, well, schizophrenic."
"Congratulations, you win a free torture session with me, your host, Angelus!" Angel said as he pushed himself to his feet. Nodding to Willow and Giles, Buffy stepped towards.
"So Angel, how is it to be locked in a cage like the animal that you are? To finally be classed as what you are: something lower than us? Huh?" Buffy teased. Willow nudged Rebecca. Sighing, she lifted her arms and whispered something. A small ball of light suddenly appeared, hovering in the air. It moved to Angel, who was so distracted by Buffy he didn't notice it until it was circling around him faster and faster before dive-bombing through his shirt and into his body. He screamed as his heart slowed, making him convulse and choke, before he collapsed again.
