Well, I fudged up on the last update and forgot to give you this part so here it is. I don't know what was up with all the characters I uised turing us as "A's" and "@" but I hope it doesn't this time!!!!!! This is the juicy part!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Night fell and Angel strolled into the Summers residence.
"Giles!!!!" He called. "I need you to read me the prophecy of Destruido."
"Yes, yes Angel, you will need to give me just a few seconds, please." Giles said walking into the room, thumbing through one of his old musty books. Angel removed his duster roughly and paced the floor, waiting for Giles to find it.
"Ah, here it is." He began.
"When she has risen, her heart will know, the secrets kept and the pain will grow.
Two hearts of dark created one light, one the carrier of the night.
The blood shared flow and harnessed in the dark
She rose and on her back she carries a mark.
The connection shared is more than heart.
The demon who carried has not that mark.
The secret kept tells of the one.
What was dark is light with light and created a son.
The blood was shared and the day has come,
the final breath of the chosen one.
The power to change lies in the dark,
the father shall promptly play his part.
For When he took the blood of the mother
creates for the son, a little brother.
If the prophecy shall come to pass,
the world of light will see it's last."
Giles finished as he took his glasses off and stared at Angel who had stopped pacing and was now staring with a horrified gaze.
"Do you know what this means?" Giles asked.
Angel merely nodded his head.
"Care to explain, because so far, all I know is this is about the slayer and her son. Seeing as how Buffy and Faith have no sons, this sounds very wrong." Giles admitted.
"No!" Angel almost growled. "This can not be." He almost yelled and then Giles knew there was something that he needed Angel to tell him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Connor, you think we'll figure all this out soon?" Dawn asked as she, Connor, Xander and Willow patrolled through a cemetary.
"I hope so. Your sister is very interesting to me. I only hope I will get to know her better when this is all over." Connor smiled.
"You kids see anything?" Xander asked.
"Nope, not yet. You Willow?" Dawn asked.
"Not a single thing."
All of a sudden, three vamps charged from he bushes all attacking Connor. He fought through them easily, punching and kicking and staking but by the time it was all over, he was glowing a mysterious green color. Looking down, his eyes grew wide as did the rest of the group.
"What is going on here? What did you do Wils?" Xander asked.
"I didn't do anything. I swear. No magic, promise." She said shocked.
"Hey, he kinda looks the way I did when I was the key three years ago." Dawn said to no one in particular. They all turned to look at her.
"What? What I say?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What aren't you telling me, Angel?" Giles asked.
"Four years ago, Buffy came to LA during Thanksgiving. You remember?"
"Yes. She was there for a few hours to see her father."
"She was actually there longer." He said pacing slightly.
"What do you mean, I remember. She came home right after..."
"There was a day, one that I had erased and it happened only she doesn't remember, or, she didn't remember until now that is. I was turned human and we got back together. It was the best day of my entire existence. She was so happy and we were so in love that day, all days. Anyway, I had to have the erased because I was no help to her and the oracles said that if I stayed human, she would die." He finished, giving the watcher the short version of the story. Giles stared at him in awe.
"I can't believe this. So what does this mean in relation to what I just read? What are you trying to tell me Angel?"
"I...I think Connor is Buffy's, not Darla's." He said. Before Giles could counter his thoughts, the patrolling gang burst through the door. They looked frantic.
"What what is it? What's going on?" Angel asked panicked.
"We don't quite know either. We were out patrolling and when Connor fought, he started to glow this green color." Willow explained.
"Yea, well, and you know how the monks make me out of Buffy because I was the key, right Giles? Well, I glowed the exact same green. Do you think Connor could be the next key or another key to a different place?" Dawn questioned.
"I really don't know. I will have to hear the entire story as you guys tell it back to me to be sure that my suspicions are correct." He said. "It's quite late, you all better get to bed. We will discuss in the morning. You'll let me know if there is anymore glowing then Connor?"
"No problem. See Ya." He said before they all marched up the stairs to sleep.
"So you do have a theory about what they said happened tonight?" Angel asked from his seat on the couch.
"Yes, I would say that this confirms your hypothesis as well. I think Connor may well be Buffy's. I just don't know how I'm going to explain it logically." Angel nodded and sat on the couch as Giles, too, filed up the stairs in hopes of sleep. Angel sat patiently and prayed that Buffy would make it home that night.
She never did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the streets of Sunnydale, a slayer roamed freely. Her thoughts jumbled and her mission clouded. She was a bad person. She believed this much but the constant ache inside was growing more powerful by the minute. It hummed along her skin and shook her bones. She felt as though she was crawling out of her own skin. She wrapped her arms tighter around herself and squeezed as tight as possible. Trying to dull the ache she walked faster and tried tokeep her mind to other things. Angel had kissed her. He would pay for that. They would all pay. Everyone except Connor. Finally, she came to an empty cave and had no clue wh she stood there.
"I've been waiting for you. What took you so long?" A voice startled her from her thoughts.
"I'm here now. What must I do to make him pay. Make them all pay?" Buffy asked.
"Oh we will make sure they all pay. Don't even worry. Because of our little boo boo jumping off cliffs, we've given them a bit of a clue. Not to worry. They are slow, dumb and deaf. It'll be too late anyway." Cordelia said, staring into the somber green eyes of the key to ending the side of good.
