Chapter five:

"What? You know who I am, Buffy"

"Who's Buffy?"

"Buffy, stop playing games"

"Stop calling me Buffy. I don't know any Buffy"

Angel gave up; he thought she was just playing a joke, so he walked out to talk to Giles.

"Hey Giles, find anything about this ritual?"

"Um....Do I know you young man? And who's Giles?"

Angel couldn't believe he was being treated like this, what had he done to them? He decided to go see what Joyce and Dawn were up to.

"Are you two ok?"

"Who are you people?" Dawn asked looking really scared and confused

'Ok, something must be seriously wrong if their all acting like this' Angel said to himself considering this idea

Then it hit him.

'What if it was because of the ritual' he thought

'But why have I still got my memory and they haven't?'

In the end he decided to visit Spike to see if he had lost his memory.

"Who is it?" Spike asked as someone thudded on his door

"Open up Spike!"

He opened the door and looked at his sire.

"Angelus, how's my old sire going? Still got a soul have you?"

"Well actually, I'm just going by Angel now, I'm doing ok and yes, I still have my soul, otherwise I would have put a stake through your heart by now"

"Whoa, what's up your fangs?"

"Unfortunately you" Angel said as he gritted his teeth together

"So, why are you here, Angelus? Want a snack?"

"No, I don't want a snack, I told you before, my name is Angel and I'm here because I need your help"

"Can you repeat that? Because I thought you just said you, Angelus, need help! I think I'm going deaf!" but at the look on Angel's face he stopped being sarcastic.

"Has it got to do with that bloody Slayer?"

"Got it in one, Spike"

"So, what's she done this time?"

"No, it's about what I'm going to do to you if you don't shut up" Angel snapped

"Ok, ok. You've got my full attention" he said putting his hands in the air

"Well, I was talking to Buffy on the phone, I heard someone scream, she dropped the phone and I came to Sunnydale"

"Sunnyhell, actually" Spike interrupted

Choosing to ignore him he continued.

"Found out that Buffy had been kidnapped, went to rescue her, a demon was doing a ritual, stabbed Buffy and I rescued her"

He paused and then continued.

"She was training in the back room with me watching then she asked who I was. Joyce, Dawn and Giles asked the same question"
