Angel's News
Angel and Doyle walked into 'Angel Investigations' an hour later carrying a few bags, and some boxes.
Buffy and Cordiela immediatly stood up to help them.
"No..." Doyle and Angel said together.
"Why not were perfectly capable women." Cordeila said "Strong too."
"Well one of us." Buffy added smiling.
"Just stay up here," Angel said going to the lift, "we'll be back."
After a few minutes the two men came back upstaires.
"Okay," Buffy began "what did the 'all knowing ones ' say?"
"Wait a minue, your doctors appointment..."
"He's said everything is fine. And he gave me some medicine to help me through it, and said it should be over with in no time."
"Through what?"
"Umm... he just said I was a little sick it all, .... maybe from stress... No what did they say?"
Angel took Buffy's hands and sat on the couch.
"They told me not to do the spell."
Buffy could feel the tears in her throat.
"Wh-why?"
"Because things need to come into place. I think something bad would happen if I were made human.. like that."
The tears entered her eyes and began to fall.
"But- We were supposed to have a future together. A life. A real one. A normal one together. "
He took her into his arms.
"Hey we will. Listen, they said by the next New Year I'll have my sunlight. Things have to fall into place first. I think there's a little something extra to it. They said look at prophecies, and wait for things. To pay attention."
She stopped crying, and looked at him.
"So you will be human? By like the end of next year?"
"Yeah."
Buffy smiled. "YES!!! They do love me!"
Angel laughed at her.
Then, after some time he said.
"But... we need to look into somethings. See what this prophecy was about."
"On one condition Angel." Buffy said looking him in the eyes.
"What?"
"We don't pour over books all night, we stopped to watch atleast one movie, and were in bed by mid-night. AND no working tomorrow or Christmas Day unless Doyle has a vision, or something end of the world happens. Got?"
Angel looked at Doyle, and Cordeila or pleading with him.
"Yes, fine. Lets say, we get to work now.... it being 4:00 work until 6:30 eat dinner, watch a movie, then just do whatever?"
"DEAL!" Buffy squealed, got up and hugged him.
"I love you." She whispered into his ear.
"I love you too."
Everyone went downstaires, each picked up a book and began reading.
*******************
At 10 til 6:30 Buffy looked up.
"I might have found part of something."
"What does it say?" Angel asked making his way over to her.
"It's called 'The Immortal Family' , its says ' The Slayer and the Souled Dark One shall come together as one, starting Immortaility with friends, who've become family. Together, the nine mortals, shall become Immortal, joining the Souled One, who inreturn for good deeds, shall become a daywalker, will meet with old friends of the past whom are Immortal and form the savor of the human race 'The Immortal Family'. In order for this to take place, they must all come together, the Mortals, Immortals, the Souled One, and the Slayer in peace, and form a 'Family'....."
"So what does that mean?" Cordiela asked.
"Well," Angel began "If I'm right, You and Doyle will become Immortal... which means you'll get strenth. Buffy you too will become Immortal will added strenth. I'm Guess Willoing, Oz, Xander, and Giles too will become Immortal. As will I. As far as the nineth person..."
"Anya.. the ex demon. Her and Xander are together now." Buffy said.
"Well thats covered. As far as the other's. I don't know who. I never came across Immortals. We'll just have to wait."
"Angel..."
"Yea?" He said looking at Buffy.
"Some of the text is missing. Could the other people have?"
"Maybe. The Oricales told me it would be like a puzzel that can't be figured out until all the pieces are put together."
"So.. I'm going to look eighteen forever?" Cordiela asked.
"Yes Deila," Doyle answered "thats what Immortality is."
"YES!" She jumped up and down like a little kid in the candy store.
Angel looked for Buffy reaction, and she broke into a smile. She motioned him over.
"What?"
"Guess what," she whispered sudectively.
"Mmm?"
"All the time we've lost in the bedroom, and time lost when you left, now we have forever to make up for it."
Both Angel and Buffy smiled at the thought. Together for all eternity.
Forever, thats the whole point.
