Summary: Connor must confront the past and try to make his own destiny.

A.N.: I apologize ahead of time that there will be Angel and Cordelia stuff but don't worry it wont last....unless you review and you want it to...due to the point where I am starting the story its kind of hard to avoid it.

A.N.: Cordelia did not become a higher being but Angel was still saved from the depths of the ocean by Wesley but instead of having him leave I have him stay and once again be apart of the A.I. team. ^_^. Connor was kicked out and Lorne is back from Vegas. Well, that's enough of that. Now the story.

Avoiding the Prophesized

Chapter 1: Quiet Night

Connor was wondering the streets of Los Angeles at around midnight. It had been about a month since his father kicked him out of the cozy confines of the Hyperion Hotel for sinking him to the bottom of the ocean for three months. Connor was constantly thinking that Angel would me there every time he turned a corner. He had been let off a little easy in his opinion. Not that he was complaining though. He had been waiting for the Angelus that he had been brought to hate to show himself. But none of that was important. At least not at the moment. Connor had just picked up the scent of a vampire and was following it to its nest.

At the Hyperion

Angel was back from his last call. He decided to go up to his room to clean up. When he came back down everyone had left except for Cordelia. "Hi." He said giving her a kiss. "Anymore calls?" "Nope. Looks like its going to be a quiet night." She replied smiling.

Old Church

Connor had followed the vampire to an old church. He quietly jumped on to the roof and saw through a sky window. He moved in for a closer look and he suddenly heard a cracking noise. The glass beneath broke, he fell and found himself surrounded by at least 20 vampires dressed in dark hooded garments.

At the Hyperion "VISION!" screamed Cordy. "What do you see?" said Angel grabing a piece of paper to write down the information. "..It's Connor..."

Please review!!! I had to leave it at a cliff hanger but don't worry it will get better...I hope. Oh well, I'll let you be the judge.
