1 Back in Sunnydale…
"Buffy where are you going?" Dawn asked her sister.
"L.A." Buffy replied cramming some clothes in a bag.
"Why?" Dawn had a lot of questions, some of them Buffy couldn't answer.
"I don't know. Spike said he needs to talk to me about something." Buffy replied picking up her bag.
"Why doesn't he just come home?"
"I don't know Dawnie, but please behave for Xander okay? I love you, bye." Buffy smiled as she left her house. Buffy Summers got into Anya's new car as the vengeance demon drove the Slayer to the airport.
"Thanks Anya, I really appreciate it." Buffy smiled and then got out of the car and boarded her flight. There weren't many people on the flight because of the late hour.
Back in L.A. at Angel Investigations…
"What's she like?" Charli ask her father as she sat on Wesley's old desk with her legs crossed.
"Your mum? Oh, she's a tough one. She's been the Slayer since she was about your age. Buffy's is just a bit taller than you are, she's got tan skin like you and she has short blond hair." Spike told his daughter. "What about you? I don't know that much about you."
"Well, I lived in Quor-Toth until I was fourteen, I've known Angel's son all my life. I was chosen as there Slayer when I was thirteen, I lived for the reason that I knew I could. Holtz told me of this dimension and about my parents that were probably waiting on me. He said he didn't know who they were, but he knew they wanted me back. He knew I'd be the Slayer, he said he could see it in my eyes." Charli explained.
"Your mum and I never knew that she was pregnant, but I want to know, why were you chosen to be taken?" Spike asked his young daughter.
"Holtz said they chose me because if I stayed and was born and everything my mother probably wouldn't make it. He said the world needed me."
"Well, I don't know how I'm gonna dump this on your mum. She says she hates me and that I am a monster and I could never love her, but I do." Spike told her as he sat down into a chair.
"I was raised to kill vampires, and before I thought I was going to kill everyone of them that I came across. That is until I met the two vampires with souls, that I knew I could trust. You see Conner has trust issues with Angel because he knows Angel's soul is just a curse." Charli explained to her father. "You look a little rough their dad, you want something to eat?" Charli asked.
"If Peaches has anything." Spike said getting up and following his daughter out of the old office.
"Angel, got anything for him to eat?" Charli asked.
"There is some pig's blood in the fridge." Angel said as he looked up from his book.
"Thanks." Spike replied as he walked over to the refrigerator to get a snack.
"How's Conner, I mean Steven?" Charli asked as she sat down next to Angel.
"I think he is coming around." Angel replied. They sat in silence for a moment when Angel noticed something about Charli, "Where did you get that ring?"
"I don't know I think I've always had it." Charli tried to remember as she examined the Claddagh ring on her middle finger on her left hand.
"Hmmm," Angel grunted, then looking back down at his book. Spike finished off his glass of blood and then joined his daughter and Angel on the couch. "So when do you think Buffy will be here?" Angel asked Spike.
"About an hour or so. Why? Does the great pouf need to go poof his hair some more?" Spike laughed.
"Ha, Ha, Ha. You're so funny Spike, maybe that's why I hate you so much." Angel snarled.
"I'm tired," Charli sighed.
"You can go upstairs to my room, Conner is asleep up there too." Angel smiled to the short Slayer.
"Okay. Dad will you wake me up when mom gets here?" Charli asked before she went upstairs. Spike nodded, and then Charli walked up stairs and found Angel's room then went inside. She saw Conner sleeping peacefully on Angel's bed, the Slayer smiled and then she sighed and lay down next to him and went to sleep. Conner woke up for a second, then realizing that it was just Charli he put his arm around her and went back to sleep.
"Buffy where are you going?" Dawn asked her sister.
"L.A." Buffy replied cramming some clothes in a bag.
"Why?" Dawn had a lot of questions, some of them Buffy couldn't answer.
