Chapter 5 "Darkness Falls"
Dawn felt her heart tear and it felt like it was in a million different pieces floating around in her chest. She fell to the floor and pulled his head onto her lap and started to cry. He had saved her life and now he was dying on the floor. She screamed in agony and she felt Cordelia pull her away from Connor. She watched as Angel pulled him from the floor and took him up in his arms cradling him like an infant.
Angel felt Connor breath and Angel felt his dead heart leap at the sound of his son begin to breath at a steadier pace than before. He carried him up the stairs where Lorne was waiting with bandages and cleaning agents. He laid him down on the bed softly and sat down in the chair beside the bed watching, making sure his son was all right.
Cordelia rubbed the frightened girl's back with care of a sister. Dawn began to cry more and her body curled into a ball. Cordelia motioned for Gunn and he picked the girl up and carried her up the stairs that Connor and Angel had went up only moments before. She felt the softness of the bed under her and she smelt the scent of roses and lilies in the room.
She whimpered and she felt Cordelia crawl in the bed next to her. "It's all right Dawnie. Connor is a tough guy, he'll make it through." *I hope *
"What if he dies Cordy? I will feel so guilty and I don't know if I can take that! The baby is kicking and I feel so sick and I just." Dawn trailed off with another wave of sobs. Cordelia just pulled the girl in her arms farther and hoped she would find a sense of peace. "He saved my life and now he is dying!"
"Shh it'll be okay. He'll be okay. He chose to protect you and the baby you didn't make him, he chose to protect you because you apparently have made quite an impression on him. He has never risked his life for anyone before Dawn." Cordelia whispered running a gently hand through the young girl's hair.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Connor felt the blackness engulf him again. He had been so close to the light, oh so close. He could almost taste the light but then he was torn away from it. All he could see was blackness and he felt lonely and pain flooded every inch of his body. He looked around him and he could see nothing but blood, it was everywhere just drowning him in the coppery liquid. It smelt like her and it tasted like life. He felt emotions flood him and he felt a warm sensation come over his body in a short wave. He screamed as he felt another wave of pain wash over him but this time it didn't feel like life but dead. He watched as his body began to drift farther into the darkness.
Angel watched his son's eyes fighting to open and then it stopped and he heard his son's heartbeat cease. Lorne ran to the boy and started to hit his chest trying to get him to come back. Angel felt something wash over him and he felt his son. He felt the pain and the feeling of slipping away.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Dawn felt the older woman get up and leave and she closed her eyes and tried to feel something the man that had saved her was feeling. She couldn't feel anything and then she felt it the same thing Angel was feeling and it sent shivers of fear through her. As much as the boy scared her she couldn't seem to get the image of him from her mind. She tries to ignore her feelings she got when she saw him but they were permanent. She felt so many emotions and she hadn't even talked to the boy, it was like conversation wasn't needed. Everything they wanted to say the other could see in their eyes. She smiled and then let the smile fade away because she new this man that made her feel so many things was lying on the bed in the next room dying a horrible death, a death she had caused him.
TBC..... Well I know you probably are saying how much you hate me right now but you will understand all of this in the next chapter. It is hard to tell you anything right now because I think I have a lot of smart readers and I don't want to give it away. I think it will surprise you in a lot of ways but I think you will like it anyway. Now please don't think I am trying to keep you on a cliffhanger because I am not I am just trying to keep you interested. The next chapter will be very long so I hope you are willing to wait a little longer than normal. Well I have to go now.
