To My reviewers!

LotRseer3350- Her name's Sair, but that's a good name too. Sari! I'm gonna use that! And a wonderful request made, but you don't know what's gonna happen till you read it…(devilish laugh)

A. Lynne- Agh! Don't make Dorian attack me!! Don't worry, this or the next chapter should be the end…I think.

Krisian Rose- I know! Why can't Mina fight well?!?! (I dunno, I suppose my story's screwy) Don't worry, the end shall come soon (mwahahahahaha!!) Hrm..setting Gray aflame would be a wondrous thing to see, but then there's the whole fire department to deal with, and also vampire's dislike for fire….(I'm a pyro too, but I haveta think before I set stuff aflame but hooray for the 4th of July!!) And thank you for the compliment about the sword scenes, I thought they sucked….Welp, GO READ THE REST!!

Imzadi- I had thought of bringing the picture back, but didn't you read the other chapters? The picture's been destroyed for the last hundred years! There's only one way to kill Mr. Gray…..mwahahhahahahaha!!!

Perfect Imbalance

Disclaimer: I do not own any of Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde, or "Angel" characters sadly enough. I only own Sair the character and any other original names mentioned and if anyone steals the names or characters…I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!!!…so be nice and don't steal kay?

Ch.26

Angel's head reeled from another smashing blow across his face. Mina was suddenly behind him, pushing him over and onto the ground. He fell hard, he was losing his strength quickly and would surely be at the end of a stake in a few seconds if he didn't act quickly.

The vampire pushed off of the ground, but a hard kick in the ribs from the vampiress sent him flying into an opposing wall. He hit it full force, feeling the marble slam against him, and soon slumped the ground. He was tired, he had no energy left at all. Meanwhile, Mina was upon him in seconds before he could react.

She grabbed him by the neck, lifted him above her, and squeezed his throat, choking the older vampire, but soon her grip changed. Angel felt her hands readjusting at an awkward angle, then he felt her muscles tense. She was going to snap his neck!

"Someone!" he yelled out desperately, "Help!"

Fred was the first to act. She looked in the direction of the yell and saw what a predicament that Angel was in. Not wasting any time, she opened up her knapsack and retrieved the handgun they had brought with them. Taking careful aim, and praying that she wouldn't miss, her finger pulled the trigger. Her arms exploded in pain as the recoil from the shot fired hit her, but she still held fast and looked over to where the bullet should have landed.

Angel was in so much pain that he thought he heard a gunshot of all things. But then he knew it couldn't have been a hallucination when Mina's grip slackened on his turned neck. He fell to the ground and watched her mechanically finger the exit wound of a bullet in the left side of her chest. Angel felt a pain of his own in his stomach and looked down, realizing that the bullet that went through Mina, had stopped in him.

Mina's eyes clouded over for a moment and she took a staggering step back. The pain was obviously getting to her. Letting out an almighty and high pitched cry of fury and defeat, her body turned to ash right before Angel's eyes. He sat for a moment, and then looked over to Fred, who held a silver handgun in her palm triumphantly.

The older vampire had to smile back.

Meanwhile, Wesley was reading the last lines of the binding spell.

"Los Turina Harem Ciento!" he yelled and pointed in the direction of Dorian, hoping to god that he had done it right.

Dorian raised his sword high, ready to pierce the vampire that was on the ground before him in the heart.

"Now time for you to die, my thorn in my side!" he yelled as he tensed, ready to bring the sword down to deliver the final blow.

He stopped.

It wasn't of his own will or anything, Dorian just simply stopped. He couldn't move a single muscle at all. He was stuck in the standing position he was in and paralyzed. His eyes shifted in the direction of Wesley, Gunn, and Fred.

"Ah, a binding spell," he said knowingly, "These can be pretty tough to break."

"You can't break it," Wesley said icily, "It's permanent."

The immortal chuckled, "You think so?"

Then, to the horror of Angel, Gunn, Wesley, and Fred, Dorian tensed his muscles, and with a yell of defiance, he arched his back, arms outspread. He had broken through the spell.

"But how?" Gunn said aloud, shock showing through his voice.

Dorian turned in their direction, sarcastically stretching out his limbs.

"Did you really think it'd be that easy?" he said as he walked over to them casually, "I've met a great deal of people like you in my life and believe me, they tried all the tricks your trying now. I've become a master at breaking every spell, weapon, or form of imprisonment thrown my way."

Wes, Fred and Gunn backed away from the approaching immortal, Angel was too weak to defend them or even himself.

"Just accept it. You can't kill me, so I'll kill you," Dorian said with a smirk, "If you come quietly, your death shall be quick and painless."

The three still backed away, but Fred, deciding that she wouldn't be afraid of him, pointed her gun in his direction.

The immortal rewarded her with a chuckle for her efforts to seem unafraid and spread his arms wide, "Take your shot."

The young scientist was ready to act. Squeezing the trigger multiple times, she littered Dorian's upper body with bullets, tearing into cloth and skin. Blood went splashing everywhere as each shot ripped into the immortal's body, quaking with every one. Finally, the magazine in the gun was empty. Each extra trigger pull was only rewarded with an empty clicking sound.

Fred's fury was immediately drowned by fear as she saw that Dorian was still standing.

"Now," the immortal said as the skin that was broken closed and the bullet shells came out with a small popping motion, "Feel better?"

Wesley grabbed Fred by her shoulders and pulled her back gently, but quickly. Gunn brought his axe at ready, tensing for a fight.

"I'm sick of this little game," Dorian said as he unsheathed his sword once again, "Time to end this."

The three humans in the room backed up quickly in fear, they knew they couldn't fight him, they would surely die if they did. But the immortal only got a few fierce steps forward before a yell sounded.

"Agh!!!"

Sair pummeled into Dorian's left side with power, knocking them both to the ground, but as they both flew, Sair pulled the frilly shirt and suit material away from the immortal's neck, vamped out, and sunk her fangs in. Dorian yelled out in pain as the vampire's teeth sunk into his neck and they both fell to the cold marble.

(Author's Note: Heeheeheeheehee!!!!!! I bet you didn't think about that didja???? Sorry, I didn't mean to screw up with your reading experience, but I had to gloat!! Okay now I'm gonna say my catch phrase…..NOW GO READ THE REST DAMMIT!!!)

Ch.27

Both immortal and vampire fell to the cold marble hard. Sair's held fast to Dorian, drinking all of his blood as fast as she could before he got a chance to throw her off. The immortal rolled over and pinned her against the floor with his back, this attempt didn't succeed in getting Sair to let go. Dorian elbowed her in the abdomen three times, feeling his strength fading fast, as a last ditch effort to get the young vampire to stop her deadly bite, but couldn't get her off.

Finally he rose to his knees weakly, trying to flip her overhead, but he couldn't. He was so weak, there was no strength in him left, or blood. Sair finally pulled her teeth out of the immortal's neck, gasping in the ecstasy the pure blood gave her. Dorian slumped forward and fell onto his back, staring unbelievingly at the young vampire's face.

Sair was on knees before him, the blood starting to course through her veins, and crimson all over her now normal chin and mouth. She looked at the immortal with pure malice and fury in her eyes, but to her sudden surprise, Dorian began to laugh.

"You find something funny in your death?" the young vampire asked him quietly.

"Yes," the immortal rasped as his body shuddered with laughter, "Because my death, will be your pain."

"What?"

"May the pain be horrible and unending for you! I hope it is," Dorian laughed as he slid a silver band off of his middle finger of his left hand, and grabbed Sair's suddenly. The vampire did not struggle against him, only watched in horror as the immortal slipped the ring onto her own middle left finger.

"Become what you hate," Dorian rasped finally with a grin of defiance and obvious humor before his body began to convulse and then shudder in death.

The life was out of his eyes and a silver aura seemed to seep out of them. The two small beams of light floated out of the dead body of Dorian and suddenly flew into Sair's with blinding force. Her whole body wracked with the sudden motion and her eyes seemed to be nothing more than a pool of shining silver as her body went into thumping convulsions, hitting against the ground and seemingly shaking of its' own accord.

The young vampire fell to the floor, shaking. Her jacket slumped back to her mid-arm and her chest thrust up as if some pounding force was inside, trying to rip out. She yelled in pain four times with each horrible spasm, and then fell back, unmoving. The whole time, Angel, Fred, Wesley, and Gunn watched this event in horror. An eerie silence fell throughout the cathedral.

Angel was the first to react. He got up from his slumped position on the wall, holding his stomach where the bullet wound was, and limped over to Sair in pain. It took him a little bit to get over to her, but when he did, he sluggishly went down to his knees before her.

"Sair?" he said aloud, trying to see if she was alive, "Sair?"

Angel bowed his head down in dismay, she was dead. He didn't know how, but she was no longer full of life she once was. The older vampire began to weep, small tears running down his cheeks, because of his failure, she had to die. She didn't deserve to die, she just didn't deserve it.

All of a sudden, a gasp forced its' way out of the young vampire's lungs and she grabbed onto Angel's arm painfully. She seemed bewildered, startled, and afraid. Her eyes darted around, scared, and landed on the once crying vampire above her.

"Angel?" she asked aloud, as if she didn't believe it was him.

The older vampire nodded with a smile on his face, "Yes, it's me."

"Oh God…" she trailed as she clenched in pain and screwed her eyes shut, "So much pain, I feel so much pain…."

Angel leaned forward and held her in his arms, feeling that he should shield her from everything else.

"Make the pain stop…please….just make the pain stop…" Sair trailed, tears falling from her eyes, "Please….."

Gunn came up behind the two, Wesley was comforting the now terrified and crying Fred, and stopped behind the older vampire, still holding onto Sair.

"Angel," the lawyer said with concern, "We need to get out of here."

The vampire nodded, "Just wait a few minutes, okay?"

"Okay," Gunn said as he went off in the direction of the now unconscious Spike and hoisted him to his shoulders.

"Just a few minutes…" Angel repeated, but he somehow felt that there would never be enough time in the world to quell the pain that Sair felt now….

(Author's note: Okay, I was watching LXG during this and kinda got sidetracked, so if there are any errors…well….I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!!! Anyways, To my reviewers as always and the readers who don't review (grumbles) Anyways! Also, Dorian's death had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the "Angel" finale with Angel and Timothy or whoever the liaison to the Senior Partners was. I swear, I had my idea first. I watched with my mouth hanging open when that happened. I have a sneaky suspicion that the WB dancing frog came into my room while I was mumbling about the ending to my story and stole it!!!! Anyways, for those who absolutely want to know, there WILL be more chapters coming AND I am possibly thinking of a juicy sequel. DEFINITELY REVIEW, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE AFOREMENTIONED AND THE STORY!!!! Thank you!!!)
