Song: Journey by 911

(I hope you liked the last chapter. I've been in California for a while so I couldn't update but I did some thinking of how to make this better didn't come up with a thing but I promise you more confusion and tragedy. Enjoy!)

Time waits for no one, sure as the tide pulls the ocean

Sure as the path that's been chosen cannot be changed

In my life's destination, I searched for the explanation

For some kind of reason for my sorrow and pain

But in my isolation, I learned to listen

To be thankful for the love that I'd been given

Doyle stood above unconscious Rain who lay on Connor's bed where Angel had moved her too. Mac sat next to her angel. "What's the matter with her?" Connor asked who stood by the door.

"I'm not sure yet." Doyle touched the Amazon's forehead, he pulled back quickly and stared at Connor. "She's seeing the past."

"What do you mean seeing the past?" Connor walked over to his true love.

"I mean she's in Angel's body seeing his past, Darla just changed him." Connor reached down and held Rain's hand.

Tyler walked into the room. "How is she?" The teenager had his hands in his pockets, his eyes were red and puffy a few tears still fell down his tear stained cheeks.

"She's unconscious and in the past in my dad's body how do you think she's doing?" Connor growled.

"I hope you've got a good doctor to remove the stake I'm bout to shove up your ass!" Mercury stepped out room behind Tyler.

"I'm bout to teach your you why you're a SIT!" Connor glared at the African-American.

Rain's gripped tighten on Connor's hand and she started thrashing. "What's she seeing Doyle?" Connor turned quickly.

Doyle touched the slayer's head. "Angel's getting his soul for the first time."

"Could you please leave?" Connor looked at Doyle then to Tyler and Mercury. Tyler grabbed Mercury's arm and pulled her out of the room. Doyle rubbed Rain's arm and then exited.

"Con, is she going to be ok?" Mac asked as he sat down on the other side of Rain.

"Yeah, she'll be fine." 'I hope she'll be fine.' Connor thought while kissing his girlfriend's forehead.

Connor lay down and put his arm over Rain's head and the other arm around her waist. Mac lay down also, putting her head on Rain's stomach while grabbing Connor's hand that lay over the teenage girl's waist. "I hope she'll be ok too." The little girl sighed.

Spike stopped by the doorway on his way towards his and Buffy's room. "Take care of her." He pulled the door closed.

This is my journey, journey through life

With every twist and turn, I've laughed and cried as the road unwinds

This is my journey, and I've learned to fight

To make me strong enough, to lift me up, to bring my dreams alive

In my desperation, I swore never again

Connor lay still barely even breathing. "Get away from me!" Rain gave an outburst. Connor looked at her kissing her cheek then he laid his head down and closed his eyes.

"Connor, I need you to give Rain a message." Mallory appeared as a ghostly image.

"Mallory?"

"I can only stay for a little while. Tell here I love her and she made the wonderful person I am. Also, tell Tyler I love him and he'll find someone else. Connor, Rain is a blessing don't hurt her, she loves you with her whole heart. Keep her safe." Mallory waved and disappeared.

"Connor, wake up, Connor!" Connor woke up to see Buffy then he looked around he was on the floor.

"What happened?" He stood up slowly.

"Rain started thrashing she knocked you and Mac off." Buffy sat down in a chair.

"Where's Mac?" Connor looked around the room for his little sister.

"She got up, cried, and ran out."

"What was Rain seeing?" Connor sat on the bed next to mumbling Rain.

"Doyle said Angel had jumped into water." Buffy fiddled with her hands.

Doyle walked back in the room. "How's she doing?" The half demon walked over to the teenaged slayer.

"Ok, I guess." Connor reached to grab her hand but she started a wild thrash.

"Buffy, Buffy, Buffy!" Rain screamed. Doyle touched her head but was thrown backwards he slammed into the wall. Connor touched Rain's hand but was thrown away from her. "Hello Buffy." Rain turned towards the slayer with a wicked smile.

"What's going on?" Angel ran into the room followed by Willow, Kay, Faith, Xander, Tara, Anya, Spike, Mercury, Giles, Luther, Wesley, Bran, Ara, and Tyler.

"My better half." Rain tried to sit up but was thrown back down by an invisible force field. "Connor, help me." The younger slayer looked at her boyfriend who was heading over to her.

"You're ok." He kissed forehead and about to grab her hand when she vamped out.

"Don't touch her!" Willow came to Connor's side and pulled him away.

Would I hear all the laughter of my friends and my family

A million tears that I'd cry then began to dry

Silence of the nighttime I have come to realize a sweet inspiration filled my horizon

Gave me the heart to go on and never would give in

"Willow sweet little innocent Willow." Rain gave an angelic smile.

"What's going on?" Spike looked confused. "Red why can't we touch pet?"

"I put a security spell on her, I thought it would help with the thrashing I guess the only part you can touch is her face."

Kay flew backwards into Faith they slammed into the hallway wall. "Are you two ok?" Xander and Angel helped them up.

"It's Angelus he's in Rain." Kay looked at Angel horrified.

"How?" Angel gave a low growl.

"O, come on soul boy you didn't think you could keep me away forever did you?" Rain laughed. "Somebody get him out of me!" Tears fell out of the teenage girl's eyes. "Shut up you dumb slayer." She growled at herself.

"What did you do?" Connor glared at Angel.

"We've all faced scary man before we'll just give him his soul and we'll be good right?" Xander looked at them.

"It's not me Xander and Rain has a soul. Angelus is in the past so how do we give him his soul?" Angel looked around.

"That's a good point Angel we may have to wait till Willow in the past gives you the soul till then we can't let Rain get out of that bed." Giles took off his glasses.

"Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen." Rain laughed.

"You can't change the past. Can you?" Tyler looked at Rain strangely.

"Yes I can." She smiled evilly.

"Ow!" Willow grabbed at her neck as blood flowed. "He bit me." Willow hit Angel in the arm.

"Rain, you're in the somewhere you've got to fight Angelus." Buffy touched the teenager's forehead.

This is my journey, journey through life

With every twist and turn, I've laughed and cried as the road unwinds

This is my journey, and I've learned to fight

To make me strong enough, to lift me up, to bring my dreams alive

In my desperation, I swore never again

"She to weak, her best friend's dead, her boyfriend's an idiot, all her friend's don't understand a thing, her idol is a pregnant slayer who let me loose, her two favorite vamps are total souled loser, and to top it off she has the most dysfunctional family." Rain laughed. "Her life really sucks." She smiled. "Yeah, well so does yours." Rain snapped back at herself. "I'm in control, this is my body so get out!" She hollered.

"Kay, can't your do something?" Connor looked at his soon to be step-mom.

"Like what?" Kay looked clueless.

"Do a spell anything just help her!" Connor looked at Rain as she fell unconscious.

"Doyle, what is it?" Spike looked at his teenaged friend.

Doyle touched the girl's forehead. "He's fighting Buffy." Doyle smiled. "And she's winning." He added.

"Smar etil omoc snoil sllib niks evil, egru dnal doar racso nur!" Tara and Willow chanted together.

Rain's eyes opened and she gasped for breath. "What did you do?" Connor rushed to her.

"We sped up getting ride of Angelus. Let her rise." Willow smiled.

"Is she ok now?" Mac asked where she stood holding onto Angel's leg.

"I'm sure she's..." Angel stopped short.

"Where am I? Who are you people?" Rain held her head.

"Fine." He raised an eyebrow.

"Rain what's wrong?" Connor grabbed her hand.

The girl shook her head. "Sorry my memory needed to catch up with everything."

"You scared me there a second." Angel picked up Mac.

"Let's give them time alone." Ara pushed Tyler forward and grabbed her husband's arm.

Buffy kissed Rain's forehead and left following the other.

Connor looked at Tyler. "I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier, I guess the fear of losing her again kind of got to me." Connor apologized.

"It's ok I know how that feels except Mallory won't come back." Tears glided down his cheek.

Would I hear all the laughter of my friends and my family

A million tears that I'd cry then began to dry

Silence of the nighttime I have come to realize a sweet inspiration filled my horizon

Gave me the heart to go on and never would give in

I'm going to love each moment of every day and every night

I'll look back to the past with the sweetest smile

For now, I realize I've been given the key to life

I've been kissed by the angel by my side Oh, yeah

"No, she won't but she said she loved you and you would find someone else also, Rain she loves you too and you made her the girl she is." Connor played with his girlfriend's hair.

"I wish this were a nightmare, please tell me it's just a nightmare. " Rain sobbed lying her head down on Connor's shoulder.

"It's a horrible nightmare but we never will wake up." Tyler looked down.

"She's gone? She's not coming back is she? Fore some stupid reason the PTB sent me back but not her!"

Connor snaked his arms around Rain's waist. "No, Rain why ever they sent you back wasn't a stupid reason."

Tyler touched the girl's leg. "Mallory loves you we all do you have purpose and it's to save the world." Her friend smiled at her. "I'll be here to help you." Tyler sat in the chair that Buffy once sat in.

"No, you won't because I'm not going to do it the world can find a different hero because I quit." The 15-year-old screamed. "You hear me you idiots! I quit! Find a different champion!" She yelled at the ceiling.

"You can't." The Destroyer looked shocked at his girlfriend.

"I know, I was just hoping they would send her back." Tears slid down her cheeks.

"What do we do now?" Tyler looked at the couple.

"We go on fighting for Mallory and the SIT's whom lives were taken to quickly." Rain got out of the bed.

This is my journey, journey through life

With every twist and turn, I've laughed and cried as the road unwinds

This is my journey, and I've learned to fight

To make me strong enough, to lift me up, to bring my dreams alive

In my desperation, I swore never again

The two followed her downstairs where everyone stood facing the Hyperion doors where Lela, Justice, Starr, Cammie, Kali, and Reshawn stood. "What's going on?" Connor at the horror stricken faces.

"She has Ecks, Keene, Eric, and A.J. She threatens their lives in exchange for you Rain." Lela looked at the teenage slayer.

"Who's got them?" Rain looked confused.

"I do you little brat." Cordy appeared and she sent Rain crashing into a wall.

"Rain, are you ok?" Connor ran to her.

"Connor, she's trying to take you away from me they all are. It's your baby Connor, I swear to you." Cordy got the boy's attention.

Would I hear all the laughter of my friends and my family

A million tears that I'd cry then began to dry

Silence of the nighttime I have come to realize a sweet inspiration filled my horizon

Gave me the heart to go on and never would give in

To bring my dreams alive

To bring my dreams alive
