GIFT
NOTE: I do not own these characters and I am only using them for the fun purposes of fan fiction. But I do (pretty much) own Skylar.
A/N: I'd like to give a shout out to my gal pal Gidgetgirl for the inspiration and for helping me to create the totally cool character in Skylar. Thanks Gidget! You're so cool! Oh, and you might want to take a look at Gidgetgirl's stories. They're, in a word, awesome! You also might want to check out stories by Balticwoman, Pyro Bear, and Lian. Three great young authors. J
Second A/N: This story is a total AU and is completely unconnected to my other stories. In this story one reason Angel went to L.A was because he (Angelus) sired a pregnant woman and killed her husband. The pregnant woman returned, still pregnant, and was one evil vampire. Angel and his friends (Buffy takes the place of Cordelia in this) and Connor stake her and save the baby. By the way, I don't know much about Buffy so there is no need to stone me if I make a mistake. I just like Angel and Buffy as a couple and I hate Cordelia right now. (Very much!)
CHAPTER 4Connor quickly handed Skylar over to Dawn. Connor jumped and gave a hard kick to the demon's chest. It did nothing to the demon. Connor fell to his rear end. Dawn knelt down, clutching Skylar tightly.
"Connor, are you OK?" asked Dawn.
"I'm fine," Connor grunted.
Angel and Gunn kicked down Dawn's door. Buffy, Fred, Angel, and Gunn rushed inside. The demon looked right at them, then down at Skylar.
"It is done." With that he disappeared.
"What was that?" asked Fred.
"Did that creep just up and leave?" asked Gunn perplexed.
"Oh, God!" Angel exclaimed. He fell to his knees along side Dawn. He touched Skylar's forehead. "Sky! Skylar, are you okay?"
Skylar slowly opened her eyes. "Daddy?"
"I'm here," said Angel with a smile. "I'm here, Sky." Angel slowly took the little girl in his arms. "Are you all right?"
"Daddy, where am I? I'm so cold." Skylar started to close her eyes.
"No, Sky. Come on. Try and wake up," Angel pleaded.
"Daddy, everything is cold."
Buffy grabbed the blanket off of Dawn's bed and wrapped it around Skylar. "Is that better?" Buffy asked.
"No. I'm still cold," Skylar replied, her voice getting weaker.
"Skylar, come on," said Angel. Everyone began to crowd around. "Skylar, please. Hang on. We'll get you to the doctor."
"Daddy, I'm too cold. I wanna rest, okay? I love you, Daddy." Her body suddenly became limp in Angel's arms.
"What? Skylar!" Angel shouted. "Skylar! Somebody call an ambulance."
"Angel—" Buffy began.
"No! Buffy, just call!" Angel snapped.
"Dad, I—" Connor started to say.
"I don't want to hear it, Connor! Would somebody call the damn doctor, already?!" Angel was frantic.
"Angel, please," said Fred.
"Shut up!" Angel yelled.
"Angel! It's too late," Gunn tried to reason.
"What?" Angel gasped.
Buffy joined Angel on the floor. Tears began to flow out of her eyes. She put her arm around Angel, giving him a small hug.
"Angel, she's gone," Buffy finally said.
Angel's mouth opened but no sound came out of it. He felt the worst pain then. Tears started to stream out of his eyes as he looked down at his dead daughter. Connor knelt down and put his arms around his father. Connor, too, began to cry. Soon everyone in the room had nothing but tears in their eyes.
A/N: I'm sorry for all the sadness. But no worries. This is not the end of the story. No. I'm just having fun. (Not with death, though.) Please review.
