(Authors Note: I don't remember them mentioning Angel's sister's name, so I'm just going to call her Elizabeth or Eliz in this.)

Angel continues to walk down the street, then sighs and stops. *I'm never going to get out of here without that demon's help. Maybe I should just entertain him for now and prove to him that my past is behind me. That way I'll be able to go home and get back to my normal life*

The demon smiles as Angel walks back towards him. "Change your mind, did you? Good thinking. I promise you that you won't regret it."

Angel looks at the demon and holds back another sigh. "Really? Then you don't know me as well as you had thought. I'm already regretting this foolish fiasco, but what choice do I have? I either put up with it and go home, or get permanently stuck in this hell hole called my past."

The demon nods, then points back towards the house. "Tonight is the night your future will be forever changed. Go and take a look."

Angel frowns, then walks into the house. The scene in front of him is that of the night he left to go to the pub and met up with Darla. He watches as his past self hugs his sister, Eliz. Eliz looks up at Liam with tear-filled eyes, then Liam looks at her seriously. "I'll come back for you. I promise."

Angel has a pained expression on his face, then watches as Liam heads for the door to leave for the pub. "No!" He steps towards Liam and reaches out to grab him, but his arms go right through his past self. Watching in horror, Angel watches Liam shut the door behind him to face his deadly fate.

The demon appears beside of Angel. "I told you, they can't see you. What made you think you could change the past? That is not the point of this visit."

Angel glares at the demon. "Then what is the point?" The demon just smiles once again. "You'll find out soon enough."

Angel sighs in frustration, then watches as his father storms into the kitchen angry at Liam. His mother sits down next to the fire place, as numb and as uncaring as always. Eliz walks into her room and Angel follows her, with the demon following behind the two of them.

Eliz begins to take her clothes and belongings out and puts them in a bag. "Liam will be back for me. I'm sure of it." After getting all of her stuff together, she lies down on her bed and falls asleep. Angel stands in the corner of the room, watching her, then the demon speaks up once again. "Don't fight your feelings, son. She's your sister and you had once loved her. Tell me what you are thinking."

Angel can't believe how persistent this demon is, but decides to do as he is told to make the demon happy. "I'm thinking of how she rarely slept in this bed." Seeing the demon watching curiously, he continues on. "Most night's Eliz would come into my room and ask to sleep with me. I always let her because I knew she feared father would go into one of his rages in the middle of the night and take it out on her with no one to protect her."

The demon looks over at the sleeping Eliz, then back at Angel. "And why do you think she did that? Because she trusted you that much?"

Angel is still watching Eliz. "Yes, she did. By the time she was born, mother was already numb towards me and didn't care one bit about Eliz. Someone had to be there for her and teach her how to do things." Angel smiles and walks over to the bed. "I remember one night when she was six. Eliz had found a bird with a broken wing and asked me to fix it."

(*Childhood memory*) Ten-year-old Liam takes the bird, but looks at Eliz, not knowing how to phrase this. "What if I am unable to save the bird?" Eliz looks back at him with a serious, not possible, expression on her face. "Don't be silly, brother. You know everything you touch turns to gold. I don't know of no one else who could take better care of Liam better than you."

Liam looks at Eliz questioningly. "Liam?" Eliz smiles at him. "Yes, Liam. My teacher told me to name your pets after the people who have mattered to you the most. Your the only one who matters to me, so I named him after you." Liam hugs Eliz, then looks towards their house. "Come on, let's go hide this bird before father finds out."(*End of memory*)

Angel looks towards the demon, still smiling. The demon looks lost in thought. "Did you save the bird?" Angel looks back at Eliz. "Yep, but not without a little help and then Liam was back to soaring in the sky." The demon looks at Angel carefully. "Sounds nice." Angel responds. "Yeah...."

The demon sits down in a chair in the corner of the room, then looks at Angel who is slowly falling asleep. "Goodnight Angel."

Back in L.A the gang begins to get worried. Wesley looks at the others. "How can Angel possibly be asleep for two days? Maybe it's time we woke him up."

Gunn nods in agreement. "Great idea. You do it." Wesley looks at Gunn. "Why can't you do it?" Gunn shrugs. "It's simple, I'm younger and sexier, so the world would miss me more if Angel killed me. However, if he killed you, well, we'd be sad, but we'd all move on." Gunn laughs as Wesley smacks him in the arm.

Cordy looks at Fred, who doesn't seem to want to volunteer either. Sighing, she stands up. "Do I have to do everything around here? Geez, if it wasn't for me, this whole place would crumble up and cave in."

Walking into Angel's room, Cordy walks over to the bed. "Well, he's still here." Shaking him, she sighs in frustration. "Wake up sleepy head. I think sleeping away two days of your life is enough sleep for you." Unable to wake him up, Cordy puts her hands on her hips and thinks of another way.

Grabbing some headphones, she puts them on his head, then turns on the radio. When he doesn't even flinch, she turns it up higher, still nothing. Walking to the door, she yells. "Wesley! Gunn! Fred! Come up for a minute. I think we might have a problem."

~*~*

Angel awakes with a start, feeling as if something is wrong. Looking towards the bed he is leaning on, he doesn't see Eliz anywhere to be found. Not seeing the demon in the room either, Angel gets up then hears a knocking noise coming from the front of the house.

Walking into the family room, Angel looks in horror at the person at the door. Angelus. Sensing someone beside of him, he looks and sees the demon. "Well here is your chance."

Angel looks at the demon. "What chance? You said that I couldn't do anything!" The demon smiles. "You can try this time. Maybe something will be different."

Angel sighs. *I'm so tired of these riddles* Yet still, Angel walks up to Angelus and gets there just as Angelus grabs Eliz to bite her neck. Quickly pulling his fist back, Angel rams it into Angelus' face. When he makes contact, he looks in shock as Angelus looks up at him and growls. "This can't be good...."

Angelus grabs a hold of Angel, then throws him outside. Angel looks back to see where the demon is to ask for some help, but doesn't see him. "Oh, well this is just great!" Turning back, Angelus is waiting right there and yanks Angel towards him. Angelus shows his fangs as Angel struggles to get away.

Angel knocks Angelus backwards, but not hard enough. Angelus quickly recovers, then punches Angel in the gut and then the face, knocking him backward. As Angel tries to recover from the blows, Angelus snaps back into action and yanks Angel's head back ready to bite him.

The demon watches from afar, wanting to help, but unable too. *Maybe I should have told Angel that he was human here. Well, too late now. Now he just has to kill Angelus before Angelus kills him*
