"What are you doing here?" She asked, backing away from the doorway.
"Where's Angel?" he asked.
"Upstairs asleep." Her eyes melted away from his and down to the pentogram. Had it gotten just a tad bit lighter? Connor's words pulled her out of her trance.
"Go get him please, Abigail," he said, his eyes burning with an emotion she couldn't put her finger on.
"B-but, maybe you should just wait." Connor put his hands on her shoulders and pulled his face closer to his as if he were going to kiss her.
"Tell him to-" A voice cut him off.
"I'm right here." Connor and Abby both looked over at the stairs to see Angel. Connor released Abby quickly and turned to his father.
"I wanted to talk," he said, making his way closer to Angel.
"Okay, sure," Angel said, sitting on the couch once he was off of the stairs. Connor did as he did.
"Uh, well, I'm gonna... uh. go and take a shower, yeah, a shower!" Abby said, running up the stairs. Connor's gaze followed her until he couldn't see her anymore.
"She's weird." Connor said aloud.
"Well, yeah, but that's not why you came here, is it?" Angel said nervously.
"No. I want to stay with you and your friends today. Just to spend some time."
"Not exactly like you. Why are you doing this?" Angel asked cautiously. "Not that I'm complaining," he added quickly.
"I realized that you are my biological father and that I should get to know you," Connor replied, coldly emphasizing the word "biological". Angel nodded.
"Well, what do you want to do? We could go to a baseball game, or do something else." Angel was interrupted by Abby again.
"Sorry, to bother you, but-" she started.
"What is it?" Angel asked quickly.
"Cordelia's had a vision," she said simply.
"Ask her who, what, when, and where," Angel said. He was clearly upset.
"Angel, I'm sorry-"
"Just ask her." Abby hurried back up the stairs.
"Look, Connor-"
"It's Steven."
"Okay, Steven; I have to go. Someone's in trouble-"
"It's okay, fine, I understand."
"I would ask you to come but,"
"It's fine-"
"It would be dangerous and gory, and really scary." Connor started to leave.
"Okay, fine. Do you wanna come?" Just then Abby bounded down the stairs, dressed in a black tank top and khacki flares. She also had a black, long- sleeve shirt tied around her waist.
"A group of-" she stopped to stare at Connor.
"Of?" Angel inquired.
"Oh, vampires, sorry. There's a girl at a bar who needs your help. She doesn't know that they're there," Abby explained.
"Okay, well, since you're dressed, you wanna come along? It shouldn't take long, and you could keep Connor company, since he's your age and all, and-"
"I'll come," she said quickly. "But we gotta hurry."
Angel nodded and rushed them out the door.
Once they arrived at the club, the first thing Angel told them was to stick together. That was the first thing Abby didn't do. She always did this, she didn't like following rules. Angel didn't seem to notice that she was gone at all and continued to make his way through the crowd.
"Connor, be on the lookout for any vamps, okay?"
"Will they're faces look like yours?" Angel nodded uncomfortably.
"You know that the girl's gone, right?"
"What?" Angel turned around quickly. "Abby!" he called over the loud music.
"She'll be fine. She wants us to worry. She always does this." Angel reassured Connor.
"How did you meet her?" Connor asked, trying to keep the subject on Abby.
"The same way you did." Connor spotted a girl sitting at the bar table. She was the only one there. Abby was talking to her.
"She's over there." Connor pointed. Angel nodded and headed for her.
"See the bartender over there?" Abby pointed to the guy a few feet away. She whispered into the girl's ear as quietly as she could. She knew that vampires had great hearing. "He's a vampire, and there are a few more here. They're after you. You'd better run."
The girl looked at Abby in disbelief.
"Yeah, right. There's no such thing as vampires!" she said rather loudly. The bartender looked up and spoke to Abby quietly.
"Yeah, you should know better!" he picked her up and threw her into the girl, crashing onto the floor and breaking a glass in the process.
A few more vamps surrounded the two of them, and Angel and Connor hurried over. Angel staked the nearest one and started fighting more off. Connor made his way over to Abby and the girl.
"Run, quickly!" he said to the girl. He helped Abby to her feet.
"Are you okay?" he stared at her bleeding arm.
"That's the least of our problems right now," she said, motioning to the other 4 vampires around them. They stood back to back in fighting stances.
"Two each," Abby said quietly.
Connor kicked the one nearest to him in the stomach and staked him. Then he punched the other one into a shelf of glass bottles and staked him before he could get up.
Abby grabbed one by his shirtsleeves and flipped over him, throwing him into the crowd. Then she sent a stake in his direction and saw a large puff of smoke hanging over the group heading out the door. The other one attacked her from behind, but she kicked backwards and he fell towards Connor; he staked him.
Abby directed her attention at Connor again.
"Good teamwork!" she smiled at him. Connor took a few steps closer to her and brought his face closer to hers. He pulled her closer to kiss her when Angel emerged from the crowd.
"Are you two okay?" Connor quickly released her and turned to his father.
"Yeah," he answered.
"Abby, what happened to your arm?" he asked.
"I hit a bottle when the vampire threw me. Not a big deal."
"You should still get home to let Fred get a look at you, you could have glass stuck in your arm. Let's go before the police come."
AN: Well, what'd you think? I was going to write more, but the chapter was getting a little lengthy for my liking, and I don't like drawing things out. Anyway, I know that was a lot like that one episode, but it was a little different, and it will get much more different one I get to the part where the season ended, you know, the evil cliffhanger? ( Anyway, please review! I live for them!
