GONE
"Baby, I don't understand?" Angel asked worriedly.
"It's okay Angel, I know what's supposed to happen. I have to do this." Buffy said strongly. The voice she used when she announced she was going to declare a battle to the death.
"Do what?" angel inquired.
"I am not sure yet but when I do, know that I love you?" Buffy searched his eyes. Angel didn't understand he wouldn't until it happened.
"I promise. Now are you okay?"
"Yes, of course I am fine." She smiled and snuggled in closer to him, all the while trying to fight off the need for a good cry of pity for herself. Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a bounding tot, running into the room.
"Mama? Why ya crying?" Rachel hopped of the bed landing in the middle of Buffy and Angel. Angel grinned and riggled in closer to his two girls. Rachel giggled and tossed her curly brown hair aside.
"Mommy's fine sweety I just had a bad dream." Buffy sighed and looked away. Angel new about the dreams, not their content but the fact that she kept having them. It raised his concern that they were starting up again five years after Rachel's birth.
"Daddy! Let's go make breaky." Rachel bounded off the bed and Angel caught her arm.
"Slow down peanut. We have to get the O.K from your mother!" angel looked to Buffy. It was obvious that she had a lot on her mind.
"Yes, it's fine but don't make a mess! And not too much chocolate angel, we can't keep giving into her!" Buffy pointed her finger specifically at Rachel to let her know that her father wouldn't be bending to her every whim.
"Ugh, but it's so hard to resist those big hazel eyes of hers."Angel whined and scooped Rachel up putin gher atop his shoulders.
"I'll drive her to school then I have to go to work. I'll see you later then?"
"Of course!"
After they left Buffy went to the phone and began to rapidly punch numbers into the phone. "Giles??"she waited for a response, "I think it's begun." Buffy stuffed random materials into her bag and began to pack, "As long as I am here I am a threat to their well being. I can't do this, I can't put the people I love the most in danger by just being here." He spoke and she proceeded, "Yes I have had the dream again. It was as clear as day, something is coming for me and I don't want them to be a round when it does. I am leaving. I can't be here." "No Giles, I can't wait until we know what this means, I looked at them today, both so happy, if I stay they will die." With that she hung up and grabbed her luggage. She tore a family picture off the wall and some baby photos and opened the window. With one last glance around the room she left.
As she snuk by the window she saw Angel and Rachel at the counter with mounds of flour on the tops of their heads, and dashes on their cheeks. Angel was smiling and Rachel shoved ounces of chocolate in her mouth. ' He'll do just fine raising her. How couldn't he.' She wiped a tear from her face and ran as fast as she could.not knowing where she was going just knowing that she had to be Gone.
AN:
I know it's really short but I am putting many many installements so the overall chapter should be finished today anyways!
