The two of them stood looking at each other before Angel moved forward and
opened his arms up to his grand sire; spike walked down and hugged him
back.
"How have you been Spike?"
"Lost peaches, lost, but I think that I've finally found my way home."
"You're here for good then spike?"
"Yup things go well then I hope to never leave again."
There was a noise from the upstairs and violet appeared at the top of the stairs spike looked at her and suddenly remembered about Erin,
"Peaches there's a problem upstairs, one of Violets friends, Erin turned up at the door a while ago looked like she done a couple of rounds with the Trayco Demon, Will you help me go up and check her over, she's unconscious but she needs caring for."
Angel looked at spike and said
"Did you say her name was Erin?"
"Yeah why?"
Angel ran up the stairs pushed passed Violet and walked into her room. He walked over the bed; spike was directly behind him now with violet
"What's wrong peaches?" spike asked genuinely concerned
Angel pulled back the covers on the bed and sat down on the edge of it he pulled Erin up and balanced her head on his shoulder and pulled her hair up so that he could see the back of her neck, the mark was there.
"What the Hell are you doing?" Violet screamed at him,
Angel took a couple of minutes just staring at Erin's neck; spike interrupted the silence saying,
"Peaches I think your going to have to tell us what your doing now mate."
Angel looked at spike and said
"Come closer Spike, Where have you seen that mark before?" he asked indicating the bottom of her skull
Spike to a step closer to look at it, there was a shape it looked like a ragged fish hook with a skull hanging off it, there were two words underneath it, RELXITUSIM KARQUIKL which meant "THE CHOSEN DEATH" in Ancient Aramtic.
He took a sharp and very much unneeded intake of breath before looking at Angel again,
"It's the mark of Angkara the goddess of death! What the bleeding hell is that doing on a 17 year old girl, how would she have come into contact with.. Well that?"
Angel looked up at Violet who was looking very scared and bewildered
"Violet, listen to me now it's important."
Violet looked at him she needed to concentrate now, she told herself got to concentrate.
"What is it Angel?"
Angel asked, "What was Erin's mothers name?"
Violet thought for a couple of moments and then said
"Um. it was really strange I'd never heard anything like it before. um.. Luricikal. That was it!"
Spike looked at her for a moment before turning to Angel
"Luricikal? Isn't she.."
"Yes spike she is."
"Then we've got a real problem on are hands haven't we?" spike said
"I'm afraid we do." Angel answered
There was a noise from downstairs and a voice shouted up the stairs
"Violet, Spike? We're back!"
"How have you been Spike?"
"Lost peaches, lost, but I think that I've finally found my way home."
"You're here for good then spike?"
