Thank you for all the reviews, I got one saying, Willow can just reverse the spell and bring Angel back WRONG if you go back to 'Gone' Riley clearly explained the only way to get Angel back is for his true love to come and pull him out

And another thing people keep asking, What's wrong with Faith and Angels relationship more will come out later but right now Faith cant fully trust Angel anymore, before he was her friend and when the got together he was her friend on another level, she always thought this was a level that could guarantee him never hurting her then when he kissed and proclaimed his love for Cordelia, the trust she had for him was tainted she stayed with him because she loved him but she no longer trusted him completely, then when she found out he had been talking to Cordelia behind her back it was the last straw, she couldn't take the fact that she didn't know if she could trust him or not, so she ran away, to give them space and to give her time to think

I hope this has answered some of you questioned if you have anymore please tell me and I will answer them Bye

Chapter Thirty: Helpless

13 days later

"They come back tomorrow" Angelus said as he walked Riley and his meeting place

"What are you gonna do"

"I'm gonna do what I do best, I'm gonna play" Angelus said with an evil grin

*~*~*~*~

The next day

"We're home!" Buffy shouted as she walked into the hotel with a sleeping Alex on her shoulder to find know one there

"Oh, no ones here" Buffy said disappointedly

"Err Buffy a little help" Spike said as he struggled in with the luggage from the cab

"Oh sorry honey" She said putting Alex down and running to him to bring in the suitcases

"Buffy, how did we... I'm sorry let me rephrase that, *you* manage to come back with twice as much stuff as we left with"

"You really expected me to go to Hawaii and not shop"

"Shop, yes, bring back the whole island, no" Spike said walking to her and wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her softly

"Guess no ones..." Buffy started

"Buffy" Angelus said with a sly grin walking down the stairs

"Hey Angel"

"Its been a long time" He said advancing on her

"Oh come on its only been a month" She said as he stood in front of her and pulled her from Spikes arms for a hug

"Oh nice to see you too"

"Mmmmm" Angelus said as he looked up at Spike with a smirk while he rubbed himself up Buffy slightly, Angelus let his hands slip down Buffys waist while still looking at Spike

Spike didn't like the way Angel was looking at him and touching Buffy so he stepped closer to them

"Ok, enough hugging" Buffy said pulling away and looking at Spike who had a scowl on his face

Buffy looked up at Angel, she knew there was something different about him, the hug he had given her was not like they way they usually hug, it was a cold intense and border line sexy hug which Angel would never do let alone do in front of Spike

"Mommy" Alex said waking up

"Hey baby, we're home" Buffy said walking to Alex and sitting him up

"Can I see Faith now"

"Yes course you can" She said standing up and turning to Angelus "Where's Faith"

"She's not here" Angelus said with a grin

"We're is she" Buffy said confused over Angel actions Angelus just shrugged his shoulders

"Err Alex come on lets go play with some of your new toys that Giles gave you" Spike said picking up Alex and walking up stairs

"We're is Faith, Angel" Buffy said starting to get angry that he didn't care

"Dunno" Angelus said, all of a sudden he shot up and ran in to the office

"What are you doing, soulboy" Angelus said as he ran to his desk

"Fighting you" Angel said

Angelus pulled out some letters and ran to Buffy, he frantically gave them to her

"Buffy ..." he said stumbling back

Buffy looked at the letters and opened the one with her name on it, before reading it she looked up at Angel

"Are you ok" She said to him All of a sudden Angelus shook his head as Angel was buried back inside him

"I'm just fine, what does it say" He said walking to her Buffy turned her back to him as she read the note, Angelus came up behind Buffy and lent in close her neck

"What does it say Buf..." Angelus said Buffy moved and looked at him suspiciously as she remembered Angelus called her 'Buff'

"...fy, Buffy" He said trying to save his mistake Buffy nodded her head at his save and read the letter to him

Dear Buffy,
I'm sorry I left before you came back but I couldn't stay any longer, I know you've been noticing Angel and I growing further apart, so I left to give me time to think. Look after my little prince and look after hubby,
you've got a keeper there Buffy, don't let him go. Don't worry B, I'll be back, I'll send you a post card from where ever I
end up I don't know when I'll be back but I will

Your friend

Faith

"Oh no" Buffy whirled round to Angel "What did you do"

"Didn't have to do anything she just upped and ran away" Angelus said sitting down

"Don't you care" Buffy said to him Angelus just smiled and shrugged his shoulders

Buffy took Spike and Alex's letters and ran up stairs

Angelus watched her go then stood up looking at the ceiling

"Ok Angel stop. You're really starting to piss me off," Angelus said

"Well I don't give a shit, I'm still in here wither you like it or not" Angel said

"How does it feel" Angelus said laughing

"How does what feel" Angel said

"Being just beneath the surface, buried under all my glorious evilness, fully conscious, fully aware, but trapped. Unable to help the helpless because now your helpless...it must be agony."

"Shut up, I'll be back you'll see"

"Yeah whatever you say" Angelus said

"Who you talking to" Buffy said as she came down with Spike with Alex on his back

"No one, I need to make a phone call" Angelus said running up stair

*~*~*~*~

"What the hell is going on?"



"What" Riley aid



"Angel keeps popping up to say hello" Angelus said pacing



"What are you talking about"



"You said I would be in charge how am I supposed to do this when he keeps getting in the way"



"Has he said anything to Buffy"



"No, and hasn't she grown, oo in all the right places" Angelus said down the phone as he knew it would get on Riley's nerves



"Shut up, you said..."



"Yeah, maybe I'll play with her for a little bit, Id love to hear her scream if you know what I mean"



"Look you said you'd help me ok so leave Buffy for the mean time and I'll sort out you soul problem, and remember, if Faith comes anywhere near call me cause..."



"Oh yeah, the Angels true love will have to pull him out thing I know just make sure when we kill her its my way, it would kill Angel for sure and plus it would be fun."

Before Angelus could carry on Alex came with his remote control car and sat on Angelus's bed

"Hold on" Angelus said down the phone "Get out brat"

"Hang up the phone and make me why don't ya" Alex said driving the car around the room

"I'll call you back," He said hanging up

Angelus through the phone on the chair and slowly walked up behind Alex Angelus vamped out and started to lean down to Alex's neck He jumped back as the door opened and Buffy walked in

"Alex its time to go home baby" Buffy said picking up the toy car

"Can I go on daddy's motorbike with him" Alex begged

"No" Buffy simply said

"Oh mom" Alex said pouting

"Don't oh mom me and don't give me that pout either, I invented that pout your dads a sucker for that pout, now pick up your toys and go down stairs now"

"Ohhhhh" Alex wined as he ran out the room

"He's a bit upset at Faith leaving, plus he's sulking cause Spike wont let him have a puppy, its like a broken record with them two its all ways 'dad can I have a puppy,' 'No' 'dad can I have a puppy' 'No' he didn't bug you did he,"

"No not at all" He said advancing on her

"Angel, if you ever need anyone to talk to I'm here ok"

"I might need something else" He said backing her into the wall

"Ok, thanks for keeping Spikes bike here" Buffy said starting to feel a bit scared at his actions

All of a sudden Angelus backed up and sat on the bed gripping the sheets "Angel are you ok"

"Yes just go" Angel said

"Are you sure"

"No" Angelus said

"Yes" Angel said

"Ok, I'll see you later" Buffy said walking out the room

Once Buffy was out he room Angelus shot up

"Why did you do that for, I could smell the fear on her" Angelus screamed

"You leave her alone" Angel growled

"What is it with you and slayers, ah it's the muscles in it, when you slip inside there..." Before Angelus could finish his arm raised punching himself in the face

"Err newsflash moron, you're punching your own face"

"Don't you ever say anything about Buffy or Faith"

"Oh I'll do more then that, I'm gonna play with them for a little"
