Title: The Promised One(until I come up with a better one)
Author: ElvenNight
Summary: It's getting close to the anniversary of Doyle's death. Cordelia gets a vision of a woman in
Sunnydale, so Angel, Wesley, and Cordy go on a little trip. When they get to Sunnydale, they find that the
woman is tied to Spike and Angels pasts. And a prophecy about a battle involving Doyle gets everyone
confused. Also, an old enemy of Spike and Angel returns...

Authors Note: Here's the next part(finally!) Sorry it took so long to update. A lot was happening in my life with school and other stuff. And then FF.Net went down for a while. But YAY! It's back up! So anyway, I've decided not to really have couples. I can't write Romance at all. But everyone who is together will be together. Xander and Anya, Willow and Tara, Spike loves Buffy. As you've probably noticed, this is very AU. I started writing this.... probably a little before the beginning of the 6th Season. But okay, enough of my babbling, on to the story!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a long moment no one spoke. Then Xander said, "That means she's a vampire who was sired by Drusilla. Heh. See? I've got this whole sire thing down pat!"
Angel shook his head. "No, Drucilla didn't sire her. I did." He sighed. It's complicated, But it's like this. When Spike was alive, he had an older sister named Luca. Her name now is Kaya. When Spike was 15, she was 25. She was also dying of- I think she called it consumption. She would get really weak and not be able to breathe often. She would cough a lot, and she would cough up blood. A lot of times she would faint. I took an interest in her. She was strong, for someone who was slowly dying. Never let anything bring her down. She accepted the fact that she was going to die. And then I turned her. I haven't seen her in-" he shook his head, "I don't even know how long."
Again, there was silence. Then Giles said, "Fascinating. Brother and sister both turned, and by the same family of vampires no less." Spike growled and glared at Giles. Giles ignored him.
"Why didn't you tell us you had a sister before, Spike?" Dawn asked.
Spike growled again. "I didn't tell you, because number 1) you didn't ask, and number 2) I didn't want Watcher man over here to think it something to study! Look, she isn't evil, so can't you just leave her alone?" Spike got up with a stormy expression on his face and turned to leave.
"Spike!" Angel called. Spike didn't stop walking. "William!" At that Spike stopped, but didn't turn around. "We can't ignore her, William, because Cordelia got a vision of her."
"So?" Spike clenched his jaw.
"So, the Powers That Be obviously have something in mind for her." When Spike still didn't turn around, Angel said, "Giles is not Rayna, Spike. He was commenting on the fact that it's an interesting occurrence seeing as it doesn't happen often, if at all. Now sit down."
Spike turned around, but made no move to return to his seat. "Make me."
Angel glared at him and stood up. "Angel," Buffy said in a warning tone. He ignored her. Although he didn't want to, Angel knew he was going to have turn into Spike's sire for a minute. It was the only way he'd listen. He came face to face with Spike and adopted a thick Irish accent.
"Ye'd do well to sit down, me boy, before I let more than Angelus' accent come out te play." Spike stared defiantly at his Grandsire for a few more moments, his hands clenching and unclenching into fists at his sides, before finally sitting back down. Angel followed him with his eyes before sitting back down himself. Everyone was silent for a long moment.
Then Anya broke the silence. "She's not evil?" she asked, referring to Spike's sister.
Spike didn't answer, he was staring at the table, but Angel did. "Well, a vampire is half demon half human. Kind of anyway. When you're turned, the demon takes the place of your soul. Your human side rejects it, but the demon smothers it's influence. After a long time, about 40 years ago, Kaya's human side refused to be ignored, and her demon and human side meshed together to become one. She doesn't have a soul, but she does feel a little regret and guilt, because of her human side. So now she's good."
"Fascinating!" Giles and Wesley said at the same time. Spike fixed them with a death glare. "I just meant it was interesting!" Wesley said defensively.
"Which brings us to our next question," Xander commented. "Who's Rayna?"
Angel looked to Spike, but he was back to staring at the table. Angel sighed. "I'm going to have to explain this too, aren't I?" The only response he got was Spike's jaw clenching and unclenching.
"Right." Angel sighed again. He turned back to the group. "Rayna was a human whose entire family was killed by vampires. Mother, brother, sisters, Father, everyone. He was 10 years old at the time and wasn't home when the vampires attacked. He hunted, captured, and tortured vampires for years after that. When he heard a brother and sister were turned, by the family of vampires even, he had to capture them. So he did. And he experimented on them, until Darla, Drusilla, and I got them out."
"What do mean by, 'experimented' with them?" Cordelia asked.
Angel opened his mouth to answer, but Spike beat him to it. "He wanted to see if the bond siblings share survived us getting turned. He wanted to know if I might feel something if Kaya was tortured and dusted before my eyes." He stood up abruptly. "I need some fresh air, I'll be right back." He left, and yet again there was silence.
"That's terrible, what Rayna did to Spike and Kaya, even if they were evil at the time," Tara said.
"I know. I never thought I'd feel sorry for Spike, but I do," Cordy agreed. "It must have been horrible." Everyone nodded.
"It was," Angel told them. "It was. For about a year after that, you couldn't separate those two for anything, much to Dru's dislike."
"So, what happened to Rayna?" Buffy asked.
"I snapped his neck," Angel replied.
"Oh." Buffy fidgeted. Sure, Rayna was torturing two of Angel's family and he was Angelus at the time, but it still creeped her out. Buffy looked at her watch. "Hey, it's 11:30, we really should start looking for Kaya."
"Yes, I agree," Giles said, thinking.
Willow looked at him. "What?" she asked.
"Hmmm? Oh, nothing. Just thinking," he replied.
"About what?" Wesley asked.
"Just that Spike must love Kaya very much."
"He does," Angel said. "As do I."
Just then Spike walked back in. "Well, let's go meet my sister!"
