Disclaimer: I am not Joss, if I were Angel and Buffy would be together and
the sucky season would never had happened.
Author's Rant: I just watched part of the season finale for 'Angel' and I am not a happy camper! First off: Angel would never have left and Secondly: he would never have "fallen" for Cordy and Thirdly: He would do anything to help Buffy! And Buffy's episodes, bad people!
Prologue
He dreamed of her that night, the same dream that he always dreamed and he was never able to save her. He watched her say her goodbyes to Dawn, watching as Dawn pleaded with Buffy to let her go and to let her die. But not his Buffy, his slayer would do anything to save a life, but she also looked run down and beaten, like her reason for living had been taken from her. He watched Buffy explain about the First Slayer and how Death was her gift and then he watched her turn and jump off the tower and into the portal. He could see the relief cross her face, as she accepted Death and her life would end, never having to face this cold and brutal world.
He watched as she went to hell, because Glory's portal had screwed up and sent her there. He watched the demons delight that a slayer had entered hell. He could see a line form, each demon wanting a turn at his Buffy and each demon getting his turn. He watched as some demons raped her, while others enjoyed inflicting mental pain on her instead. He listened to them taunt her about her love for him and how he had moved on to Cordelia, of all people! He saw his love cry out in pain as images of Cordy and him kissing were flashed before her face. He could see the look of betrayal cross her face and he could almost feel her heartbreak and he was unable to stop any of it.
The dream shifted and Angel saw Xander, Anya, Willow, and Tara performing some ritual over her grave, he watched as it was interrupted by a pack of demons, which led the Scooby gang away from the grave. He saw a hand coming out of the ground, bloodied from having to dig itself out of the grave. He watched as his slayer pulled herself out of her grave and looked around confused and afraid to hope that she was no longer in hell. He watched her travel through the streets of Sunnydale and back to her house, where her sister fixed her up and everyone rushed to make her feel welcomed. He watched her climb the stairs up to her room and cry, each sob like a dagger in his heart and he wanted to hold her. Suddenly she stopped and looked directly at him,
"Angel, I need you, come back to me." She told him and Angel awoke.
"Buffy!" he cried, just before he was pulled into the chamber with the Oracles.
"Greetings lower being."
"What do you want?" he asked tiredly, not really caring, "I think you have taken enough from me." He told, thinking of his slayer, already gone.
"We wish to give you something."
"If it is Cordy I will pass thanks."
"We are have grounded your soul, you cannot lose it."
"That's great. Can I go now?" he asked, still not caring, very much wanting to go back to grieving.
"You have not heeded your dreams." They told him, "She is back and she needs your help." Angel looked at them, shocked.
"When?" he asked.
"Tonight. Now go and help your slayer."
