Angel, a little worn out from the stress of the battle, decided to take a break. Buffy took over the class and Angel went to sit in his corner. Soon he had nodded off to sleep, thinking off the day and of how the kids had wanted him to stay. Dreaming of how Spike had ruined his life, and how Buffy had shown him his purpose in the world once again.

"Angel? Class is over." Buffy whispered into Angel's ear. She had let him sleep for a few more hours after the classes and studies had finished.

"Oh, I didn't even notice. Did everything go okay?" He asked his wife.

"It went fine. They really like you, you know." Buffy helped Angel up and took his hand, "Let's get to bed."

But Angel hesitated and instead thought of something else. "You know what? I'm going to wander the grounds a bit, get to know the place if you don't mind."

"Angel, it's nearly midnight." Buffy protested.

"I know, I'm just-I need to clear my head. I won't be long, I promise."

"Okay, but please Angel, don't make it too late."

Angel kissed his wife's forehead and then left her side. He subconsciously wandered out of the school, thinking of the things the kids had said instead of where he was going. That is when Spike saw his chance. He stepped out from behind a wall and stood only yards away from Angel.

"Angel? What a pleasant surprise!" Spike said as he clapped his hands together.

Angel quickly snapped out of his trance, "Spike, what are you doing here?"

"You know what? The real reason is, is that I just remembered I forgot to say goodbye." Suddenly Spike lunged at Angel, tackling him to the ground. Angel grunted from the sudden impact, but kicked Spike off quickly. A fight that usually lasted hours only took minutes, as Spike grabbed a knife from the ring of his belt. He drove it deep into Angel's shoulder.

Angel screamed then quickly pulled it out. "You'll never learn Spike. You really think that this was going to slow me down? I mean come on-"Suddenly Angel was at a loss for words. His expression turned into one of shock as he fell to his knees. "What is-what did you do to me?"

"A little potion we dipped it in mate. I told them it'd take hours before I'd probably be able to knock you out, so they gave me this instead." Spike said as he held up the knife that Angel had tossed to the floor.

Angel's eyes widened, and then he fell, face first into the grass. Spike kicked him over, so that he could see Angel's face. He was out cold, and Spike liked him that way.

"Well done Spike." A man with long, fine, blonde hair said as he stepped out from the shadows. A man with short, greasy, black hair followed him. "That was easier than I thought."

"Where should we keep him?" Snape asked.

"There's a shop in Knockturn Alley that I rented out. We'll keep him there. Chain him up. Keep his hands high and have his feet barely touch the floor." Lucious told Snape as he prodded Angel violently with his staff.

"No offense, but he's a screamer. If the people there heard him while they're walking-"Spike started as he placed chains around Angel's wrists.

"The people there won't care if he screams. They'll probably enjoy it, for all I know." Snape said as he kicked Angel's leg for fun.

"I think I'm going to like this place. Is it dark?"

"The darkest."

"Then I love it already." Spike grabbed Angel by the chains on his wrists. He started to drag him away, but Lucious stopped him.

"You only have to drag him off their grounds, then Severus will apparate with you to Knockturn Alley."

"Whatever you say mate." Spike did as he was told, and was never happier in his whole lifetime. He finally had the chance to give his sire what he deserved.


Thanks to all my reviewers. I'm sorry that I didn't get this chapter up sooner. Between training for the Haflinger National Horse Show and school, I barely have time for myself. The next chapter will be up soon!
