Chapter Seven
Willow and Dawn, walked through the gravesite. Dawn held a cross close to her chest and a small stake in her left hand. She was hoping that she wouldn't have to use it. She wanted to go along, to see how they do it, but she doesn't want to come across anything that she would have to kill.
"We have to stop at the ice cream shop before we head home. I told them that's where we were going," Willow said.
"Okay. I could use some chocolate ice cream," Dawn told her.
"We can head there now. Looks like no vampires tonight," Willow said, as her and Dawn started walking in the direction of the Ice Cream Shop.

Buffy walked a couple feet behind them. Making sure that nothing happened to them while they walked to the Ice Cream Shop. Her thoughts wondered to her dream. It felt so real. His touch. His kisses. The way he felt against her body. Tears started building up in her eyes.
She didn't understand why she was having dreams. She never did except for the first 3 weeks he was gone, but after, they had disappeared. But now, when she had felt him, yesterday, the dreams happened again. And she hated it. She hated the feeling, how real it felt.

Angel walked through the gravesite. His mind wondered to thoughts of Buffy. He hated not being able to tell her why he was in town.
Angel looked up when he heard voices. Voices that sounds familiar to him. He could see Willow and Dawn walking. An idea popped in his mind. Maybe Willow could help him with his problem. He turned and headed in the direction of the two girls.

Buffy noticed a dark figure walking towards her friend and sister. She picked up speed, hoping to catch to the figure before it could do any harm to them. She pulled out her stake, and ran. Hoping it wasn't too late.

Dawn heard a tree branch break behind them. She jumped a little. "Will, I think someone is following us," Dawn told her, afraid.
"Just keep on walking. We're almost there," Willow said, as she grabbed a hold of Dawn's arm and hurried to the light up ahead.

Buffy grabbed a hold of the man and wiped him around, not taking a look at the face as she upper cut him. "Trying to go after my family. Wrong move," She said, as she held the stake, ready to take action.
Willow and Dawn stopped and turned around when they heard noises behind them. They saw Buffy standing over a dark figure, who lay on the ground. They ran up to her.
"Are you guys alright?" Buffy asked, taking a glance at them.
"Yeah, just a little scared," Dawn said.
ºººº
Angel lay on the ground. Face covered by his arm. Somebody caught him off guard, before he could se who it was. He felt a large amount of pain shoot through his jaw. For a minute, he thought it was broken, but it wasn't when he moved it back and forth.
ºººº
Buffy turned her attention back to the figure that lay on the ground. "You guys really don't know when to learn. You mess with my family, you mess with me."
The man moved. A few groans escaped his mouth. He knew that voice. A voice that he loved so much. He turned his head as their eyes met.
Buffy stared down at him. Her stake fell from her hands, on the ground. She was over whelmed with emotions as the tears started building up. She closed her eyes, thinking that she was dreaming again. But when she opened them, he was still there.
"Angel?" The words finally escaped her lips.
