AN: Sorry for the wait here's chapter Seven
After reaching the hotel and tying up Conner much to Dawn's dismay, Buffy started hammering Wesley with questions.
Buffy: ok Wesley explain
Wesley sighed Buffy hadn't change a bit form when he was assigned as her watcher almost four years ago.
Wesley: About four and half months ago Darla showed up here, we were very astounded at her shocking news.
Buffy: Please tell me the Darla your talking about isn't Angel's sire?
Wesley: Darla was brought back as a human and was later resired by Drusilla when she couldn't handle having a soul...
Spike: (looks up) when was Dru here?
Buffy: (elbows him) Go on
Wesley: Well Darla and Angel were together (pauses) intimately and she came back to the hotel eight months after and staked herself in order to save Conner
Buffy: Then what's with the sudden growth spurt?
Wesley: An old enemy of Angel's called Holtz was kept alive somehow by a demon called Sahjhan and he got Conner (pauses) somehow and jumped into a portal to a hell dimension that Sahjhan opened and Conner found his way back with Holtz and he must have done something to Angel at least that's what Fred, Gunn and I believe
Buffy: ok but what about Cordelia?
Wesley: (shrugs) She supposedly was going to meet Angel and they were going to talk
They sat in silence till Fred and Gunn walked in the door.
Gunn: We couldn't find him (sees Conner) but it seems you guys did
Fred: Hello everyone, is he all right?
Wesley: Buffy knocked him unconscious
Fred: ok
While Wesley and Buffy were talking to Fred and Gunn Dawn was watching Wesley he had a long scar on his neck it looked new, with out thinking she asked him about it.
Dawn: Where'd you get that scar?
Wesley: Excuse me?
Dawn: the scar on your neck, where did you get it?
Wesley was at a loss for words but Gunn answered Dawn's question.
Gunn: One of Holtz's groupies slit his throat when he was taking Conner
Buffy: (confused) you took Conner?
Wesley: I was getting him away from Angel he was going to K...
Fred: (cuts him off) No he wasn't the prophecy was false
Buffy: What are you talking about?
Gunn: Conner was supposed to kill some demon when he was older so the Demon changed the prophecy to save his own butt and it made Wes believe Angel was going to kill Conner
Buffy: (still Confused) uh huh
Cordelia woke up in her apartment her head spinning. She was alive and she had to get to Angel.
Cordelia: Dennis?
The phantom of her apartment answered her by opening a door. She was glad he was still there. She grabbed her keys and headed out the door. Angel needed her but before she could help him She needed her friends. She headed to the hotel.
Dawn was watching Conner, his head was bowed but she could still see some resemblance to Angel. He suddenly popped his head up making Dawn scream.
Buffy: Dawn, What? (Sees Conner) oh
Conner: (Confused, looks at Dawn) Sunny?
Dawn: what?
Conner snapped out of his trance and focused his attention on Buffy.
Conner: Let me go
Buffy: Let me think... I don't think so, where's Angel?
Conner: (smirks) where he belongs
Buffy: You listen to me, you better tell me where your father is before I knock you out again and maybe you won't wake up
Dawn: Buffy!
Buffy looked at her sister, an annoyed expression on her face.
Dawn: You shouldn't be so hard on him, he's had a hard life
Spike: Nibblet's right pet
Buffy: Spike, not now
Willow: Hey Buffy, why don't you let Dawn and Conner talk... alone
Buffy looked at Willow, then nodded understanding her plan.
Buffy: Wesley, why don't you guys take me and Willow to where Angel and Cordelia were supposed to meet up
Gunn: We looked there already
Buffy: I want to look again
Gunn: Ok
They left leaving Spike, Dawn and Conner alone, Dawn looked at Spike, he nodded and went into Wesley's office.
Dawn: So, how are you?
Conner: Is this how you plan to infiltrate me? Are you trying to trick me into telling you where Angel is?
Dawn: (nervous) um no Conner why do you think that?
Conner: My name is Steven
Dawn: But Wesley said...
Conner: Conner is what my real father called me, I grew up knowing my name was Steven
Dawn: Wow that must have gotten confusing
Conner: Why are you being so nice?
Dawn: because I want to
Conner: You have a very pretty name, Dawn
Dawn: (smiles) Thanks, so why are you so mean to Angel?
Conner: He is a demon, a monster who killed my other father's Children, then took him away from me
Dawn: Angel killed, your other father?
Conner: (nods) I held him in my arms, Justine was there, she said she was there when he died.
Dawn: I'm sorry... that's sorta strange though, I mean Angel hasn't killed a human in a while
Conner: Well he must have started again
Dawn: Did you give him a chance?
Conner: Yes, he seemed pretty cool, but he crossed the line after killing my father
Dawn: But Angel is your father, there is no way you can change that, he has a soul and I think he loved you a lot more then he ever loved Buffy, and they were really, really close.
Conner: He is still a demon even if he does have a soul
Dawn: Spike is a demon, probably the only family you have left if we don't find Angel
Conner: What do you mean?
Dawn: Spike: The guy with White hair, he was sired by the vampire that Angel sired so he's like your Brother or something
Conner: (shakes head sadly) It can't be true, it must mean I'm a monster too.
Dawn: No! It doesn't, I'm not completely human... well I wasn't but I'm no different form you
Conner: (looks at Dawn) What do you mean?
Dawn: I'm a key well I was a key, a mystical ball of energy sent to the slayer in human form so she would protect it.
Conner: But you seem so human
Dawn: I am now, I wasn't then, and you are human and you have a soul, like your father, like Spike and that means you can give second chances (glances at Wesley's office) Everyone deserves a second chance.
Conner: I think you are very wise Dawn, but I don't know how I could ever give my father a second chance
Dawn: What if Angel didn't kill Holtz though?
Conner: He had to, he was bitten
Dawn: Yeah but you don't need to be a vampire to make to bite marks in someone's neck
Conner: (eyes widen) Justine!
Dawn: (nods) It sounded sort of suspicious when you said she was there, I mean how could she just happen to be there?
Conner: (nods) ok, I will give My father a second chance, but first will you please untie me?
Cordelia burst in the door as Dawn was untying Conner.
Cordelia: Conner? Dawn!? what's going on
Dawn: Cordelia? Where have you been?
Buffy and the rest of the group walked in.
Buffy: Yeah? Where have you been?
Cordelia: Long story, We have to save Angel
AN: I Think that was longer lol well be on the look out for Chapter 8 coming soon!!!! Please review!
