"Tiama?" Damon asked as he opened the door to her room.

"Go away, please." Tiama begged from her bed.

"Are you ok?" He asked as he came in. He was shocked to see Tiama curled up in her bed, crying and clutching a teddy bear.

"Damon, please just leave… please." She begged again.

"No, not till I'm sure you're ok." Damon said as he went over to the bed.

"I know that before when no one knew were I was you, you knew I was fine then so why can't you just believe that now?" Tiama asked.

"Because I can see you know and I know for a fact you're not ok. And besides how did you know what I was thinking when you were missing?" Damon asked confused.

"Because I can see it. I can see everything. I can see my parents together. I can see when my Aunt Cordy first met my dad, I can see the first years of my life, and I can see when my mother first found out she was the slayer. I can see everything." Tiama said sadly.

"Wait just a second, why can you see all this stuff?"

"I don't know I think it was something my mother did or a gift she gave me."

"You saw your mother again? When?"

"Tonight, my dad did some sort of a spell to get some answers and she was the one to give them to me."

"Did you actually get any answers?"

"What I got what this. I guess this I what I get for asking if I'm going to die like her."

"So do you know now?"

"What I know is everything up to the point when I got back. Damon, I really don't like knowing all this stuff."

"Why? Doesn't it give you some sort of answer to everything?"

"What it gives me is a headache. I don't think any one person should have this much information in their head."

"Maybe it's just because you just got all of it. Maybe tomorrow everything will start to make sense."

"So you think if I just go to sleep, assuming I can go to sleep that when I wake everything will be fine?"

"Not perfect but at least things will make sense or at least I hope things will."

"And do I look like I can go to sleep any time soon?" Tiama asked sarcastically.

"No, but do you have any sleeping pills?"

"Yeah, in my bathroom cabinet."

Damon got up and headed into her bathroom and grabbed the bottle of sleeping pills and poured her a cup of water. "Here take two of these."

Tiama took the two pills and a cup of water from him and swallowed them. "Thanks but what if they don't work?"

"How about you just lay down. I'll stay with you till you go to sleep and if you don't then we'll think of something else." Damon said reassuringly.

"Ok, I'll try it but I don't think it will work." She said as she started to lie down.

"Well just humor me." Damon said smiling as he pulled the covers over her.

"That's quite a story." Willow said shocked after Angel finished it.

"Do you see now why I didn't tell Buffy? I mean I don't think she would have believed me." Angel asked.
"Yeah, even I'm having a little time following and believing that story." Xander said.

"But it's true word for word. That's what even stranger about it." Gunn said.

"And also great about. I mean if things hadn't happened the way they happened then we wouldn't have Tiama and I can't picture not having Tiama." Cordy said.

"So don't even try to. I think with all the power we've got here we can save her." Angel said.

"You know I don't think you'll be able to do anything with out Tiama's help. Take it from me, a slayer that doesn't go a long with what she's supposed to always ends up having to go along with it." Giles said.

"I agree with Giles on that one. I mean look at Buffy. She tried to run from her destiny and look where it got here. Plus there's Faith who tried to be evil but ended up turning her self in to being good." Wesley pointed out.

"So what you both are saying is that Tiama has no choice but to be the Slayer?" Angel asked annoyed.

"No what we're saying is that destiny isn't usually something you can change." Giles said.

"Exactly." Wesley said.

"Well I'm planning on changing it. And there's with out with out the help of all of you." Angel said determined.

"With us, it will be a lot easier with us." Oz said.

"So where exactly do we start?" Fred asked.

"With research of course." Willow said.

"Got it, Angel what are you going to do?" Cordy asked.

"I think I'm going to go talk to Tiama and make sure she's ok."

"Want me to come with you?" Cordy asked.

"No it's ok I got it. Why don't you help them get to work?" Angel offered.

"Got it." Cordy said.

Spike looked at Cordy. "Don't you dare tell me you're planning on making me work because I simply won't do it."

"Good luck." Angel said smiling as he headed up stairs.

"You know you'll owe me for doing this you know." Cordy told him.

"I always do and I always pay you back." Angel said.
