Beth and Angelus lived in the small apartment, Spike and Drussila were of to Rome, seeing that Dru wanted to hear screams of terror in Coliseum's arena. Fran was in Paris with Pen. So they decided that they will enjoy their time alone. ,, Cosy apartment ´´ said Beth then turned her head up and smiled. ,, why don't you go out and grab a quick bite, while I prepare something special. ´´ ,, What are you planing Lover? ´´ Angelus regarded his mate with suspicion, they were together for a long time now and he just knew when she was planning something. Beth looked him under her lashes and lean forward to brush her lips lightly across his. ,, Go, you'll see. ´´ Angelus sight and disappear in to the night. Beth watched after him long after that and when she couldn't reach him with her senses anymore she went to preparations.
Beth was prowling the night with silent steps of the predator, soft breeze was playing with her golen locks while her green eyes searched the gypsy camp . Camp fires were lit, illuminating the camp. Older gypsy's were siting around the fire talking. While the young ones were dancing wildly. They were laughing full of life. Beth observed them and just when she decided on her pray and prepare to make her move, a young girl in her six-teens caught her eye. She was small, Beth noticed, graceful, with deer like eyes and raven black hair, she carried her self with ease and elegance and she was standing, alone, bay a huge oak tree. Beth smiled, perfect. She rounded around the camp closing in on her pray. The gypsy girl was watching the dance of her older siblings, she shifted on her feet and lean to the tree. Suddenly she heard a rustle coming from above, so she looked up and opened her mouth to call help. But no sound came, because Beth already had her hands on her mouth and the girl was pulled on the tree.

Angelus just feed of an old man. When he looked up and saw a familiar blonde. My, my Angelus ´´ she purred ,, it's been a while.´´ Angelus dropped the dead body who slumped on the floor. ,, Centuries, but who's counting ´´ he said with razed eyebrow. ,, Hello Darla. What's brings you here? ´´ Darla pouted. ,, It's that a way to greet to you're Sire and mate, dear boy? '' Angelus approached her, with a smirk on his handsome face , then suddenly he launch at her with full vampire speed and pinned her to the brick wall. ,, You're hurting me'' Darla drawled ,, that's good .´´ Angelus lean forward and whispered in her ear. ,, Hello Sire ´´ he said in the softest whisper his cold breath tickling her and sending shrives down her spine. She closed her eyes expecting him to kiss her. but suddenly she stumbled and fell on her hands and knees in the dirty ally. She looked up only to find Angelus gone. She smiled. ,, Oh no, dear boy, I'll find you and get you back.'' With that Darla went in search for her favourite. Angelus was musing about his Sire, something he did not done in .well ever. He was slightly worried after all, Beth was younger vampire than Darla, but he also knew that his mate isn't exactly helpless and he still could stake Darla if necessary. When he opened their front door he stooped in his tracks. Before him was a table and on the table a letter and a single blood red rose. He steeped forward and pick up the letter.
Dear Lover,
Happy anniversary I don't know how many times I wanted
to surprise you like that, but we were never alone to do so.
But now we are alone.
So first thing you must do is to follow the rose petals on the floor.
Angelus looked on the right side of the table and sure enough saw a trail of rose petals on the floor leading him to the next room. The study was clean all books on the shelves except for one which lay open on the study desk. He picket the book up and started to read.
At length their long kiss severed with sweet smart
And as the last slow sudden drops are shed From sparkling caves when all storm flees.
He turned the pages at the beginning of the book and on the first page there was writing in Beth's script.
I found this book in the local book store
It is one of the books that are forbidden, and well I like it
So I took it and I think you'll like this book as much as I do.
Love Elizabeth
Angelus closed the book and resumed his way to the master bedroom. When he opened the door he found a massive master bed covered with rose petals and the sweet scent of roses was mixing with a scent of . fear? He circled the bed and on the floor laying in the cycle of the roses before the lit fire place lay a young gypsy girl.
,, I take it that you liked my surprise.'' Said the soft voice behind him. Angelus slowly turned around and smiled at his mate. ,, Yes I like.'' He purred at her and procidet to show her just how much he liked it.

**************************************************************************** ************************************ Authors notes: the verses used do not belong to me, they are taken from Nuptial sleep written bay Dante Gabriel Rosetti. The spell used in this fic is a little altered Ritual of restoration, the spell which was used in Becoming part II to restore angel's soul. Here is the translation of the spell used in this fic:
Neither dead, nor the living, I invoke you, spirit of the passing. Return to the body what distinguishes Man from the beast! So it shall be. What is lost, return. I implore you, Lord, do not ignore this request. Neither dead, nor of the living. Let this Orb be the vessel. So it shall be! So it shall be! Now!
So how did you like this part. Feedback's are like always welcome it keeps me writing (g).
