A.N.: Wow! It's about time I updated!
Chapter 9…
Connor approached the woman claiming to be his mother.
"You cant be my mother…she's dead."
"Look inside your soul. We share it once. Tell me what you see."
Connor had a rush of emotions sand images pushed into his mind. He saw this woman standing before him. Her stomach seemed larger though. Then she was lying in an ally, and put a stake in her heart, just like Angelus had said.
"You killed yourself…did you hate me that much?"
"Of course not, I died so that you could live."
"I wont live very long."
"Why do you say that?"
"Angelus he-"
"You're stronger than Angelus, look for Angel. He will always love you. He's your father" after a moment of silence, Darla spoke again. "I don't have much time. Just have faith in your father."
"Don't go."
"I'll always he in your heart and soul."
Connor awakened to see Angelus walking up to him. His vision was blurry and he breathed long and heavy. All he could say was: "D-Dad?" As he remembered his conversation with his mother.
"Yeah, Connor." Angelus thought it would be the easiest way to get information from him since he wasn't talking from the pain he had revcieved earlier that day. "Why would anyone want to kill you? What did you do?"
"Um, nothing I can think of…I only heard this story but I don't think anyone would want to kill me because of it." His vision started to clear slightly.
"What story?"
"Something about an heir. I think I remember it better now."
"What is it?"
Connor's breathing calmed and he spoke softly. " The champion will become dark and his heir still in the light will face the challenge of the dark champion's fist. If he should succeed than the champion shall be brought back to light."
Wesley walked down of the cream colored hospital hallways. He reached a room and sat next to Fred. She wasn't awake, she's been in and out of it for two days. He remembered when he found her, blood every where. She seemed to be getting better and was starting to stir. She opened her eyes lazily and noticed Wesley holding her hand.
"Wes."
"Don't strain yourself, just rest."
"But Angelus. He's back."
"I know. Cordelia saw him and Groo."
"Are they okay? We have to stop him."
"The only one strong enough to even try is missing."
"….Connor is missing?"
"Yes."
"Isn't there someone else?"
Wesley thought for a moment. "There might be.
Thanks everyone for your patience. The next chapter will be up soon. Oh and Katara, it seems life has allowed me some free time. ^_^.
