"Who is Elizabeth Wattson?" asked Angel sitting on his desk.
"About 3 weeks ago she woke up from a 7 year comma. She was a best friend with Robin, Faith's watcher. They seemed really close. She knew about slayers, and was really smart. She and Gile's where like meant to be." she said chuckling yet it was obvious she was upset; yet not a tear fell from her eyes. "She really helped a lot of the girls. They grew to love her like an older sister...she...just...Angel, she just really made a lot of things better. She helped all of us out a lot."
"I see..." murmured Angel. "And she-" he said pointing to the girl, whose eyes looked like an endless abyss.
"Emma Smith...a new potential. Really cocky, thinks she's better then a bunch of us. Turns out she is old friends with Dawn and Robin both. She and Liz got along really well, they were like, and they were like-"
"Sisters." finished Wesley.
"Yeh..." sighed Buffy hearing the voice. Yet turned her head slightly see Wesley for the first time in years her mouth would of dropped if she hadn't heard some stories from the others. He really had changed.
"Buffy" he nodded.
"Wesley wow your...your-"
"Cold..." whispered Emma. "So very cold.".
"She had been in a state of shock since she heard the news...Liz was murdered...we think. She went to sleep and wouldn't wake up the next morning." she handed Angel a vanilla folder. "Find out who did it, contact us so we can kill it."
"I will Buffy but...I think theirs an enemy in here you just want to create..." he whispered. Buffy stood up and slammed the table hard. "People like her don't just die!"
"Ok..." he sighed. "We'll look into it."
"Good, it's nice to now we can still trust you...at least you...not the company." as she went over to Emma and bent down. "Emma, it's time to go do you think you ca-"
"Buffy maybe it would be best if she stayed here." said Wesley. Everyone looked at him. "If something did kill Liz, then someone like Emma could be next on thier list. Bedside's we have plenty of Shrinks who can help her."
Angel looked at him as if he had two heads, and Buffy merely smiled ran over gave Wesley a quick buddy hugs.
"Thanks, now I can help the others without worrying about her." she said and left.
"Did she just hug you?" asked Angel. Yet Wesley walked over to Emma.
"Emma can you here me?"
She nodded slowly as Angel spoke once more "I mean did I get a hug?"
"You want to come with me?" she nodded once more, Angel still blabbing in the background.
"Maybe if I helped her physco slayer then she-"
"She's not physco Angel," he said rather coldly. "Just...in a lot of pain."
"Why am I guessing you have gone through something similar Percy?" said Spike for the first time stepping from the Shadow's. Yet Wesley ignored Spike's comment and Angel's continuing battering.
"I mean sure we ex's, but does that mean I don't get a hug."
"Come on," he said smiling warmly, as she took his hand. Got up robotically and followed him out of the room.
"I mean I wouldn't even exactly consider that a hug, it was more of a friendly ges-"yet his voice faded out as they left the room.
"William!" yelled Wesley as they entered his apartment. William started school next week considering it was a Friday, so he stayed at home. William ran to the balcony of the loft.
"Oh my god Emma!" he said and dashed down the stairs as Wesley helped her sit on the couch.
"What happened?" he asked going over to her side.
"Liz woke up 3 weeks ago, and died in her sleep. Buffy brought her here hopping we can help her," he said looking at her intensely and waving his arms in front of her face. He didn't get a response from William he stopped waving and turned his head towards his little brother to see the color all gone from his face. He merely stood up, like Emma would. Like a zombie and placed his head over the side of the couch so no one could see him vomit.
"What about you?" he muttered wiping the once digested food from his lips.
"What about me?" he said checking Emma's pulse.
"How are you holding up?" he asked. William didn't get a response.... what was going on with him? Could he have really changed that much that he is nothing more then a shell. That the only feelings he has are the ones that he uses to own. Could his brother be in there still? Or did he leave the moment he heard about Liz's death.
"Emma can you hear me?" he whispered to the young slayer.
"So very very cold." she murmured. William looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"Oh my god Emma." he whispered as he fell upon the edge of the couch. "Please come back...I'm sorry, I am so sorry." he whispered. Suddenly Emma blinker, and a slightly color returned to them. And then quickly after the color came back, the ability to cry came as well.
