Thanks for your reviews buffyalora15vampr. I was really surprised to see that you had already reviewed in such a short time, I'm really glad you like it. I know there's a lot of pain in this story, but don't worry, Angel will live, and be okay soon, though not right away. That potion will have an effect on him and he might change, temporarily. Spike will not die soon, since he plays a major role in my story, but he might be put out of commission for a bit. :) So maybe the next few chapters will brighten your mood, since your last review hit where it hurt... "No." As you simply stated.(with just one word, your feelings were out."

------------------

Buffy ran through the halls, the tears in her eyes blurring her vision. She descended the stairs and approached the dungeons. She could hear the kids being lectured through the door up ahead and then heard Snape's voice.

"I'll resume from here Peeves."

Buffy burst through the door and ran over to where Snape was standing in front of his desk. She didn't waste time as she grabbed his neck and drove him backward onto his desk. The class gasped in fear, but she didn't care. For once she didn't want to listen to the pain.

"Where is he?" She hissed at the man.

"Miss O'Connor, I advise you to get your hands off me."

Buffy increased the pressure on his neck and Snape gasped for air. "Where is he?" She asked him once more, slower this time.

"Buffy!" Wesley yelled as he burst through the doors. "Buffy, let him go!"

"No Wes, he knows! I know he knows!" She yelled, but not once relieving the slightest pressure.

"Yes, he does, but killing him will do us no good." Wesley was now behind her and he turned to see Willow and Giles appear at the doors.

"Buffy, please, listen to Wesley." Willow pleaded.

Reluctantly, Buffy released some of the pressure on Snape's neck and he turned to the side and started to cough uncontrollably. She glared at him, tears streaming wildly from her eyes. "Where is he?"

"I don't know what...you're talking about." Snape gasped.

Buffy heard the sliding of chairs and the rush of footsteps and saw Giles and Willow ushering all the students from the room. She started to shake with anger at the man before her and it took all the strength she had to keep herself from snapping his neck right then and there. She took a step back and let Wesley begin.

Wes moved forward and grabbed Snape by his collar. He dragged him over and threw him on a chair. "Where's Angel? You know and we want to know, so it'd be better for you if you told us now."

"As I told Miss O'Connor, I have no knowledge on what you're talking about." He stared Wesley eye to eye and finally Wesley turned to Willow.

"Willow? Can you be so helpful as to-"

"Sure Wes. One memory extraction spell coming right up." Willow moved forward and placed her hands on Snape's forehead. She mumbled some words in Latin when suddenly her head snapped back.

Visions flew through Willow's head. There was Lucious casting a spell on an unexpecting Snape. Then Spike taking out Angel and then him dragging Angel outside of the school grounds. She realized then that she was seeing this through Snape's eyes. Flash...they were know in a very dark and narrow street, Snape looked up and read a sign that faintly said: Death E-, the rest was faded away. Then she watched as they hung Angel up from the ceiling, then Lucious torturing him. Then Snape was looking down into a bowl of ingredients and she watched in horror as they made Angel drink the disgusting potion he had just brewed. Then Snape walked through the fireplace and then Buffy tackling him onto his desk. Then the scenes ended.

"My god, he doesn't know. He was telling the truth. Lucious Malfoy put a spell on him. He's controlling Snape's actions and thought on what had occurred. There was a sign...Knock-Knock something."

"Knockturn Alley." Snape said abruptly.

"That's it! Knockturn Alley. They have Angel in an abandoned shop there. He's in bad shape and I'm afraid it's about to get worse."

"Thanks Willow, you were a lot of help. Come now, we need to find Angel as soon as possible. Buffy stay here."

"Giles no. He's my husband and I-"

"Buffy don't argue. I know you're the strongest person here, but you have to trust us to bring him back safely."

Sighing a sigh of defeat, Buffy turned and walked slowly back to her room.

Angel screamed the loudest he ever had as a pain erupted within his chest. He could feel it, it was leaving, he fought desperately to keep it, but to no avail. The pain faded away. Then, he slowly lifted his head. Spike walked over to him and peered into his eyes.

"Wow, that potion really worked." He turned to Lucious, "It's gone, if that's what you're fretting about."

"Good." He approached Angel, "So, this is the famous Angelus."

"What do you want you little-" Angelus started.

"Now, there will be none of that. You will listen to me. We have a day before this potion wears off, and I need you to follow my orders directly."

"Yeah right. I your dreams." Angelus sneered. "I work for no man."

"Ah, but you will work for me." Lucious pulled out his wand. "Allievieto!" He yelled while his wand was still pointed at Angelus. A bright light hit every corner of the room and Angelus shook violently. "Now, are you ready to listen?" He asked Angelus.

"Yes, what ever you need will be done." Angelus said as if he were in a trance.

"Go to the Slayer, love her, then kill her. Kill the headmaster as well, and...have yourself a treat with the Potter boy."

"It shall be done."

Lucious waved his wand and the chains disappeared. Angelus dropped silently to the floor. Night had fell upon the city and he quickly snapped out of his trance and took off towards the school.
