Angel sat on his bed and contemplated what to do. Not
just with the day, but with life. He was a human now;
he could live a normal human life, but he didn't want
to. He still had Angel Investigations to run, which
after the apocalypse was set up in the old Wolfram and
Hart building. He ran Angel Investigations, but it
wasn't the same. He could kill demons, but it was
harder, and a lot more dangerous. He didn't have the
powers and strengths he had had, and it let him
nothing.
"Hey Angel. Erthos demon again." Gunn said, "Wes and
I have located it and are ready to go when you are."
"Okay, I'm ready. I guess." Angel said glumly,
standing up and grabbing his jacket.
"Don't sound to enthused. What's up?" Gunn asked.
"Oh nothing, just same old, same old." Angel said
leading the way to his car.
"Hey Angel, ready to kill this slimy bastard?" Wes
said grinning.
"Uh huh." Angel replied.
"What's wrong Mr. Grumpy pants?" Wes said, in an
oddly happy mood.
"Nothing." Angel replied.
"Okay then, we're down in the dumps today." Gunn
said. "Angel do you want to talk?"
"No guys, really I'm fine. I just…I dunno I sort of
miss my powers that's all." Angel said.
"Oh I know how you feel." Gunn said, "Of course that
doesn't mean I want a lawyers mind again." He added
quickly, glancing at the hurt look on Wesley's face.
Gunn knew what Wes was thinking; it was the same thing
he thought of. Winnifred Berckle.
"Okay, lets go guys." Angel said starting the car's
engine.

The three of them got to the scene just in time to
see the slimy Erthos holding a sword over a blonde
girl.
"Hey you." Gunn yelled at the demon, "Why don't you
pick on someone your own size?"
With that Gunn jumped forward and swung his own
sword, slicing the demon's head of in one clean blow.
"Are you okay?" Angel asked the girl.
"Yes…yeah I'm fine? What was that thing?" She asked
getting up nervously.
"Don't worry about it, you need to get out of here."
Angel said. He listened to see if he could hear
anything else around, then remembered he didn't have
the super hearing of a vampire anymore. "You better
go."
The girl took of and Wes and Gunn checked out the
demons lifeless body.
"Lets get out of here guys." Angel said quickly, "I
get a bad feeling from this place."
"Oh come on Angel! This guy was rich." Gunn said
pulling out a wallet full of money.
"Hmm I didn't know demons carried wallets." Wesley
said.
"Guys come on." Angel said louder, looking around as
if something were going to jump out of the bushes. He
didn't like this feeling. Not being able to sense if
something or someone was there. He felt so hopeless,
but he still got the feeling like they were being
watched. Of course feelings like that weren't
probable.
Wes and Gunn turned around joking about who would
keep the money. Suddenly Wesley's face turned white
and Gunn dropped his sword to the ground with a clang.
"Guys? What the hell?" Angel asked. He slowly turned
around, but it was too late.
As the cold sword pierced his side, Angel dropped to
his knees. This type of blow to his side would not
have affected him as a vampire, but this was lethal.
The sword was pulled quickly back out of Angel's side.
Allowing blood to flow freely from the wound. Angel
fell to the ground, and everything went dark.
