Title: Angel and the Crescent clan
Spoilers...none that I know of...
Couples: erm... OC/Angel, and some others…most characters of which I created myself...well aside from Angel and Darla of course...
Summary: While Angel was alone you think he just mourned over his loss of not having Darla when the two lost each other? Think again. This is the story of Angel, his childes and their adventures...if you can call them adventures.
When they arrived Angel explained to everyone what had happened.
"Then we have to get out of here," said Gavin, squeezing Desiree's hand.
"Whoa there Grandchilde, if anyone should leave it should be me. The reason Darla is threatening to hurt Flame is because of me," said Angel.
"But Angel you're our sire, we're not going to leave you with your sire who has obviously lost the plot." sad Desiree.
"It might be the only way," sighed Angel reluctantly.
He felt Flame shaking beside him, her head down and could tell she was upset.
"Can you excuse us a sec?" said Angel getting up from the sofa and helping Flame to get up.
He then led her into their room and closed the door behind them.
The two sat down on the bed and Angel put his arm around her shoulders.
"Flame... please look at me..." whispered Angel putting his hand under her chin and making her looked at him.
When she looked up Angel could see tears streaked down her cheeks, there was more glittering in her eyes and she was biting her lip to stop herself sobbing.
"You promised..." whispered Flame wiping the tears from her face with her hands.
"I know... but I want more than anything for you to be safe Alysa and if that means me going with Darla then I guess that's what I've got to do." said Angel wiping a tear she missed from the corner of her eye.
"But..." began Flame when Angel kissed her lightly on her cheek.
"Listen Flame, I will miss you, you'll never know how much I love you but I wouldn't be a good lover, sire or friend if I didn't protect you as best as I could." said Angel.
Flame bit her lip as more tears threatened to fall.
"So when you going to go?" whispered Flame hurriedly wiping the new tears from her eyes.
"I don't know, I'll have to let Darla and her goons know I've given in," said Angel.
"Well maybe you should go now..."said Flame looking away from him.
"Flame..." began Angel.
"No...just go... I'm sure Darla will be so happy to know she's won," said Flame getting up and turning her back on him.
"Flame... i don't want to go...you know that," said Angel.
"If you don't want to go then don't. Stay with me..." pleaded Flame desperately.
Angel took her arm and pulled her into his lap.
"Flame...listen... I love you, I do. But I'm sure a few years apart won't kill us. Besides I'm sure by then Darla won't even remember who you are." assured Angel.
Flame smiled at him weakly.
"Now why don't we forget about my deranged sire and catch up to where we finished last night." smiled Angel kissing her neck, hoping to distract her.
"I suppose that could be a good idea." smiled Flame.
