Loving You
The screams echo in their minds they are being pulled back through time. Angel sees his life reliving all he has done wrong. However as quickly as this nightmare starts for him it freezes leaving him to watch the time he had forgot, the time Angelus loved. In a dark alley he sees himself drenched from the pounding rain the dead body of a woman at his feet and blood still lingers on his lip. The raven-haired woman approaches him silver cross gleaming, also drenched from the rain. He looks up at her and backs away at first.
" Slayer."
He hears himself whisper.
She shakes her head no.
" Not anymore."
She whispers into his ear turning her head to reveal bite marks upon her neck. She steps back laughing a little then they kiss.
Spike to has been brought to the past and has been brought there as well and watches as Maria and Angel make out in the street. For a reason unknown to him yet the scene hurts him.
Another viewer is present, but not one you would expect for this blonde haired woman had not lived then, but yet there was some connection that brought her there as well. Even then a fourth was present a young man bearing the name Connor. Not one was aware of the others presence and all watched in silence.
Lightning flashes in the distance taking them all to another time and place. On a building roof Angel and Maria are arguing over something. A tear falls from Maria's eye as Angel yells over her lies.
" Why didn't you tell me?"
" Why would I have to?"
She screams back as he grabs her throwing her into the ground and punches her in the face.
" I thought you loved me."
She whispers weakly.
" I thought the same of you."
He says filled with rage as he turns to walk away. Her eyes blow red with furry and she rises off the ground and reaches her arm out drawing him around.
" What the shit!"
He yells as he is pulled around by a force that only her could posses. She lets him go and he drop to the ground.
" The only reason this matters to you is you like having the power, you like to be the best."
He jumps up filled with more rage.
" I do have the power."
He says angrily.
" Really, what the hell do you call this?"
She says stepping forward eyes glowing bright red as the sky turns to black and rain begins to pour down on them as Angelus is flung across the rooftop.
" Your insane!"
He yells at her standing up and rushing at her and knocking her into a near by wall and punches her in the face repeatedly. Yet she did nothing but take it. The he stopped realizing she wasn't fighting back and he looked into her tear filled eyes almost kissing her that was until he felt pain in his stomach. He looked down to realize she had stabbed him with a sword. He backed up as she pulled the sword out of his stomach then he grabbed a near by one and returned the favor. Yet she did not move but stood there trying not to cry.
" You freak, I'm leaving."
He yelled at her and he turn to leave but then he heard her yell at him as he walked away.
" No your not!"
He stopped to look behind him but she was not there and he turned back around and there she was. They began to sword fight neither saying a word. He cut her across her cheek then her stomach yet not once would she stab him only try to block his attacks. Finally she just stopped all together and he stabbed her into her heart and knocked her across the rooftop and turned and ran away only to hear her yell back at him.
" I love you."
As Buffy watched the scene it brought tears to her eyes reminding her of the struggle she had in fighting Angel when he was Angelus. However for Angel memories just flooded his mind and he began to realize what had happened there. Another flash of lightening brought them a little further into the future.
Spike of the past walked along a street anger filling him muttering about witnessing Angel and Drusilla together. He however he bumped into a woman dressed in a black cloak with her head tilted down.
" Are you ok?"
She asks realizing the tears in his eyes as she raises her head.
" Yes!"
He says angrily looking into Maria's eyes.
"Aw poor baby looks like you got your heart broken."
She says touching her hand to his cheek. He looks to her then they kiss. A flash takes them to the future and they are making out sitting on a bed and Dru walks in pouting. The stop and laugh at the situation.
" Awe what's wrong Druie?"
Maria asks before going back to kissing Spike, and Dru walks off in a huff past Angel who is watching with hurt in his eyes. A flash of lightening takes them to once again forward. They are in a grand ballroom filled with a hundred guests dancing and enjoying them selves. Maria walks up to Spike giggling and pulls him away from the crowd and they make out in the corner that is until a woman walks by muttering against them. They stop and follow her and Maria taps on her shoulder.
" I'm scared are you?"
She says sarcastically as Spike then taps her shoulder vamp face on and both vampires drink from the woman.
Like a flash once again they are warped ahead again. Maria walks along an empty street alone smiling to her self when a vampire comes up behind her and covers her mouth and pulls her into a field near by. In the field stand 12 other angry vampires.
"Maria, you are a curse upon us and you deserve to die."
One of the vampires yells at her. Her face clearly that of shock.
" What do you mean with out me you wouldn't exist?"
" Maybe so but you still kill our kind and that is not to be permitted."
" Who are you to decide what is to be permitted or not?"
They give her but all at once attack her. Some stab her with stakes and knives others drink from her. She tries to throw them but they pin her against the ground stabbing her and drinking her blood all along. Maria's eyes turn blood red and with great force she throws them from her.
The four onlookers look on afraid and almost feeling sorry for her.
She once again stands and reaches her hand forward causing several of theirs hearts to fly out and break to pieces as they turn to dust. However before she could continue the rest rush her pushing her into a tree knocking her partly unconscious. Once again they continue to stab her and drain her of blood. Though just before she would slip unconscious they are thrown from her and behind them stand Angelus.
" Angelus?"
She whispers with all the strength she can muster.
He scares them off and kneels next to her as a tear falls from her eyes as well as his. He leans down and kisses her forehead. Just then behind him Spike walks over.
" What the bloody hell did you do to her?"
Spike flings Angel from her and Angel says nothing just steps back. Maria smiles looking into Spikes eyes.
" I.I."
" What?"
Spike whispers to her.
" I love you.goodbye."
She whispers then turns her head and her eyes glow red again and she whispers something in a language long forgotten. Once again light flashes from her body and she disappears and Spike kneels there crying as Angel quietly disappears in the distance crying as well. A flash of light takes them all through the past couple of years, as tears come from their own eyes. Buffy remembers her life with out Dawn and her and Angel both remember the day that time forgot. All witness the birth of Connor, and the fall of him and Cordy as a final flash goes through all their lives they awake. Tears filling their eyes and Maria stands in front of Wolfram and Hart crying as well.
