Yes, My next chapter is short but i liked writing it. BTW all characters from Angel and Buffy DO NOT belong to me. They belong to other people... Don't sue me because you'll earn less than you'll lose.

Lyon, France – The Gãter Hotel – 2007

Buffy stared at the phone sitting on the side table near her bed. She picked it up again planning to once more try and phone Angel but she set it down for the 100th or so time that day. She missed him a lot but she knew that if she did call him her whole time in Europe trying to have a normal life would just go to waste because she'd start worrying about him and go back to California to help him.

As she was staring the phone spooked her as it immediately started ringing like fate had intervened.

Buffy picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Bonjour Mademoiselle Summers. A Man is on the phone requesting for you. He says it's urgent." The French lady who sat at the front desk of the hotel said in her noticeable accent.

Buffy's heart started to change with almost every emotion. She wanted to talk to angel so much but she knew she shouldn't. "Oh, Angel." She whispered to herself then quickly said into the phone remembering that it was supposedly urgent. "Put him on."

LA, California – Hyperion Hotel – 2007

Angel's heart jumped even though it was impossible as he heard Buffy's hello. It was so good to hear her for the first time in so long.

"Hello, Buffy it's me!" he replied smiling on the inside before remembering the point of calling.

A pause came from the other end of the line then Buffy eventually answered. "You wanted to talk?" she asked trying to hide her unbelievable emotions.

The rest of the group who had once filled the office now waited out in the lounge of Hyperion. They did not want to interfere the first Buffy/Angel talk in a long while.

Andre looked at the door of the office. "So can this Buffy girl really help us find Bowe? What is she? Some kind of demon or something?" he questioned not exactly sure what to expect.

Cordy looked at the boy like he was a total idiot then answered his question, "She's a slayer and she's really good with weird situations like this. You could pretty much say coming back to life is an art of hers."

The boy jumped as soon as he heard the word slayer. "No way! She won't help us! Every single one of those stuck-up slayers hates us! And all because of that stupid prophecy!" he announced just before Angel came out of the office.

"She won't help! She said it had something to do with the Sacred Children being Evil-Little-Future-Rulers… Whatever that means." He said totally confused and gawking at how angry Buffy had seemed.

"Told you so…" Andre said turning away. "Well I'm off to St. James, she'll probably be there for a few more hours." he announced as he headed for the door.

Cordy ran over in front of the boy. "Oh no you don't! What do you mean prophecy?" she demanded.

"Lorne can fill you all in I have to go!" he answered starting to walk around her.

But Cordy wasn't going to just let him go so she walked right back in front of him.

"Let him go." Lorne's voice now broke the tension of these two. "I will explain it all. Just let him go find her and there's a lesser chance that it'll come true."

Andre walked around Cordy who was now totally frozen in time. What was going on here? Lorne was protecting this guy from her, but why?

Lorne looked at Cordy who was still in shock. "Cordy that is exactly the kind of actions that got the last 27 risen ones killed. They got confused and frustrated and they did stupid things like challenging forces that were way more powerful than them." Cordy turned around to look into Lorne's now serious red eyes. "I promise you if you just let him go his way and don't walk on his path he will make sure that that prophecy he mentioned will never become a reality."

"Prophecy? What prophecy?" Angel asked now even more confused.

Lorne looked over to Angel. "Well 100s of years ago a prophecy appeared that one day children would start falling into hell out of no where. 4 children. Each of the children supposedly had great powers that came together to become an unstoppable force. Now that was only the first prophecy. Then came the second one. The prophecy that stated that when The Master, The First… The Senior Partners, you know all the big guys in the down low died the 4 sacred ones would jump in and take over. Nothing that big because trust me those kids are anything but evil." He started to chuckle slightly, "Actually they're kind of too dopey and teenager like to actually do harm. At least not on purpose."

Angel looked at the door then back at Lorne as his face turned to disbelief. "You just let the next ruler of Hell walk away from us?!" he asked now totally lost in his anger, confusion and pretty much any emotion available in that kind of situation.

"Hey, hey in case you don't remember there is still one more evil force on that list that doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. We have lots of time to figure out how dangerous these kids are." Lorne responded in a light tone.

LA, California – St. James Cemetery – 2007

Andre set himself back on the ground. Thank you psychic skills! He said as he smiled to himself. He'd been able to levitate himself there high enough above the city that no one could see from the ground and low enough that no one in the air could either. The soil was moist under his feet and the dark night wrapped around him tightly but even darkness was better then having to listen to screams in a world of rocky ground and caves.

He'd listened to it for the 6 years that had seemed like an eternity. From when he was about two and ended up getting pulled into the warp of Hell. Flashbacks washed through his brain as he remembered what he'd seen that day 8 years before. He was only 2 years old and being raised by a 19-year-old Wicca girl. She had taken him in, despite the bad energy she felt coming off of him. She used to take him around in her arms to a group of old ladies who did some odd ritual every time they came around. It was cool like tonight when the girl had picked him up off of the floor where he'd been sleeping; slipped his arms into a small jacket she'd bought for him and rushed outside with him in her arms. He remembered that she had been holding onto to him tighter that night then ever before.

When she finally stopped running all he remembered seeing was a big headed, green skinned man who was holding little girl with shoulder length blue hair. The green man yelled something that Andre could not understand then a big pool of swirling lights had opened up. From that point on he couldn't remember anything of his life on Earth.

The ground started to rumble. It had started, the second rising. Andre rose himself off the ground and pushed up until he could see the entire cemetery. And on the opposite side of the cemetery a light beamed so bright that anything or anyone within a ten-foot radius could not be seen.

The light faded and below him Andre could see a man dressed up in a sharp brown business shirt and dress pants of a slightly darker brown. Fear appeared in the man's eyes as he tried to lift himself off the ground. A girl with pale navy blue hair stood in front of him gleaming a confident smile.

Andre floated down gently.

"He used to be a member of the Watchers Inc. They say he's unique… like that fellow, Giles. Faith's watcher. Never liked that girl." Bowe said dryly as soon as Andre was in hearing range.

Andre looked at her with questioning eyes. "Don't you think it's dangerous to get between a slayer and her watcher?"

"Ex-watcher. He died, remember?" she answered as she watched the man walk away as fast as he possibly could. "Plus they didn't even like each other that much." She added as the man ran around the corner.

"Even more reasoning for not causing that kind of trouble. The slayer will be pissed that you rose up their dead watcher. Who they didn't like."
