"Shadow." said a voice, Matt awoke in a dark place, and he could only see the light that seemed to be coming from his own body. "Do you know?'

"He does not know," said a second voice.

"Then we must tell him," said the first voice.

"As you wish." said the second. "Come with me mortal." and in a flash a bright light Matthew Pryce saw things that changed his life forever.

Matthew Pryce awoke in the hospital bed, knowing already he was blind. He was told in his vision from the gods. Of his destiny...of who he really was.

"Matt?" said a voice. It was Luke's. The tiny first grader he had met earlier that same day.

"William." he spoke calmly. That was his real name...he was just like him. Running away from his family, and took his own middle name and changed his last.

"Brother." spoke a deeper voice. It was the older boy, whom he had last seen. He must have been 16 or so. His accent slightly Jamaican because he must of been raised in the tropics.

"Wilfred." he again spoke calmly.

"It's Mark." he spoke coldly towards his older brother.

"MATTIE!" yelled little Wendy Joni Wydham Pryce as she jumped onto the hospital bed. She was no more then 4. "You snore in your sleep." she said simple.

What would someone say in a moment like this? 4 complete strangers separated by their bastard of a father at birth because of some stupid legend and scattered throughout the world. The eldest who now had custody of the other 3 is now blind. When all of them are destined to something so much bigger then they are. What would someone say?

"So...can I have a pony?" asked Joni breaking the tension in the room. All 3 of the older boys started cracking up hysterically at this random comment.

Emma and Liz had come quickly to the hospital after hearing of the incident. During the last week he had spent it with the Wattsons. Going back and forth between his place and there's. Going out in the middle of the night to get stomach medicine for Emma who had caught whatever Liz had. Yet it was mostly Emma he would take care of. His connection to the small 7 year old has grown greatly. With Liz he had been talking to her about her telekinesis and the possibilities that could of caused it. They have yet to discover why she has the powers, but they did come to the conclusion it was greatly.

"Matt?" cried Liz as she entered the room.

"Elizabeth." he spoke calmly.

"Pryce?' murmured Emma as he felt her crawl on top of the hospital bed.

"Yes Emma?"

"What happened to your eyes?" she said referring to the bandages wrapped around his eyes.

"Emma...I'm sick. I won't be able to see."

"For how long."

"Forever." he said as if it where as normal as talking about the rain.

"Huh...how long is forever?" she asked curiously. "When school ends?" Matthew merely chuckled.

Matthew Pryce's chuckle for Emma Wattson is something that they would talk about years to come. He would always do this special chuckle that was short yet he did it for no one else accept Emma. When she was little Emma called it annoying, yet as she got older it soon became a sound of comfort.

"Damm British." said Wren's voice. "So your blind?"

"Yes, well I guess no basketball games any time soon."

"Well this also means you won't be able to leave town for a while." he said almost brightly.

"Yes, I guess so." he said, and looking back Wesley even though he was blind he could imagine Wren grinning at that comment.

Being blind was not horrifying because the gods promised him his sight back when he could truly see the truth. As little sense that made it did not make him scared. He already knew about being blind considering as odd as this sound he had to learn how to read brail back in the Academy. Then in his "Demon Everyday Life" he got an A on his Feaoa Demon, which was a year round project about this blind demon. So taking the cane back into his hand was no promblem. He had spent it least 2 hours at the small mall picking out sunglass with his family.

Mark, Luke, and Joni moved into his small apartment soon after he had gotten out of the hospital. He could feel their fear of his condition. He was about to get fired from his job at the school if it wasn't for Wren who convinced them it was only tempormarel, and he would be fine without it.

During his third week in Pingreen Virginia, it was Christmas. He never saw his first Christmas at Pingreen yet he heard it. All the laughter's from Luke, Joni, and Mark. He remembers standing off to the side of his apartment, sunglasses off. His eyes having a sort of white sheet around them yet he could hear them, he could feel them. His connection to his brothers and sister didn't surprise him because of his dream.

The funny thing is looking back Wesley doesn't even remember the dream. He just remembered what ever happened in his dream it gave him the strength and the courage to move on. Yet the odd thing was all 4 of the Pryce siblings got another special gift that Christmas. The doorbell to Matt's small apartment rang he opened it and didn't feel anyone's presences and no one said anything. He heard a bark and he tilted his head down and placed his hands on top of whatever made the noise. It was a furry dog, or wolf even by it's ears and as he felt his jaw. It was a wolf all right. Around his neck was a collar, and it had a leash, that was two poles that went out and had one bar connecting it. He knew what this was, his guide. From the gods. His guide dog...and his guide into what ever he was destined to do. He remembers that wolf and his sibling's happiness when first meeting it. It was like getting a puppy, because from what his brother told him he was sort of small. Also from his brothers and sister he heard it was jet-black in color yet had bright blue eyes. They all agreed on a name...Shadow. Also according to his siblings around his neck had 4 pendants. They each took it off the wolf's neck each knowing exactly which one was theirs.

Matthew got the wolf

Mark got the panther

Luke got the hawk

Joni got the vixen

"So Wes do you agree?" asked Angel.

"Wh-uuh-" he cleared his throat. "Oh well I umm ...yes."

"So yes huh? Yes you agree you haven't been listening to a word I have been saying."

"Sorry I-I just have been pretty distracted lately," he mumbled.

"Well I think we all have been Wes my man. In fact I think a bit too distracted." said Lorne in his happy enthusiastic voice.

"What are you getting at to Lorne?" growled Angel.

"I'm saying well hey, we made it through the apocalypse alive. Lets celebrate! Who is saying vacation?" said Lorne. The only response he got was silence.

"What? Are you kidding? We can't leave now? The Senior Partner wills probably-"

"Actually I think Lorne is on to something." said Gunn leaning back in his chair.

"What? Gunn are you-"

"A small tiny, isty bitsy vacation sound nice." mumbled Winfred Burkle.

"What are you kidding?"

"Hey no one said you had to go Angelcakes," said Lorne in his Lornish way. "Besides, some of us need it more then others." Lorne said lowering his tone slightly and staring straight at Wesley. Wesley glared at him. How much did he know? Everyone looked at Wesley as Lorne did. He merely slammed his folder close purposely loudly.

"I'm going home," he said coldly as he slammed the door of the office.

A vacation, huh Wesley remembered his last vacation. A lot had happened during his first year at Pinegreen. The main one is Emma becoming a slayer Matt had immediately told Liz, and Wren who kept her powers under control yet all 3 knew never to let the little girl go patrolling. Another thing that happened was Matt and his sibling's powers. Each controlling their own special ability.

Mark, had gotten incredible strength, and had become telekinetic.

Luke, had gotten the power to call create and control fire, and lighting at his will

Joni, the youngest had the power to call create and control wind and water which caused a lot of hectic ness around Matt's small apartment.

So with a loan from the bank they moved into 2-story house. Then taking night classes at the local community collage to get his teacher degree so he could get paid more, them getting a second job at a law firm. They needed a sectary, and he would work on weekends. Yet only the weekends.

Yet he always seemed to find time, even though little to visit the Watson's. Liz had become a good friend, and his affection for Emma had only grown. Emma and Luke where in fact best friends. Constantly talking about X-men, and Spiderman. Fighting over Marvel and DC comic books. They'd play checkers, and sometimes go fishing if their older brother and sister let them.

The last vacation Wesley went on was after the big battle. It was a giant battle against this thing that was almost unstoppable. Even with Wren, Mark, and Liz's help. They became so desperate for help that Emma, Luke, and Joni had come to help them. Yet it was in fact DJ who saved the day. Grabbing Matt's wolf pendant and throwing it to him. The fact was Matt had no clue what his powers where. Yet it was then and there he realized what it was. Black dark energy was his gift. All his hatred towards the demon was focused into a ball in which he threw at the demon before hitting the ground and going unconscious.

He awoke with the smell of salt water, and feeling incredibly numb. They where at Virginia Beach, and on a vacation. Turns out he was out for a few days and was in the hospital for about 2. They said he could go (because Matt had practically lived at the hospital over the year) but they would call them when he had woken up.

"Morning Sleepy head." said a warm voice. He knew it was Liz.

"Hey" he smiled as he felt around getting his legs. He felt a warm hand touch his hand. She wrapped her hand around his hers and smiled warmly. His affection and feelings towards Liz had and will never change. She pulled him on to what he had guessed was a grand balcony.

"My godfather is lending me his place for a week why he is out on business." she said sensing him getting suspicious about how big this grand balcony.

"I love the smell of the ocean," he said leaning against the stone railing.

"I wish you would see It.," she whispered. "It's beautiful."

"Yeh...it is." he said yet his head wasn't facing towards the beautiful setting sun. Yet in fact Liz.

"Matt I-"

"You should know I could see...in fact I can see better now then I have in years."

"Matt I-"

"Liz...right after I shoot that demon with all that energy...all that hatred I was left with only the good things in my life...Liz.... the first thing I saw was you." he whispered.

"Matt I-"

"God Liz your.... your...your an Angel." he said as if finally coming to realization. Suddenly everything was white, not black...and then everything was normal. He could see...Matthew Pryce could see. To see the truth was figuring it out. Liz's powers had grown from telekinesis, to healing, to levitation. At first he thought she could be a witch without her knowing yet unsure how that would work. Yet he had come to realization she was an Angel. The first thing he saw was she.

"Liz I-"

"Matt shhh.... it's my turn." she whispered placing a finger on his lips. She gently removed his sunglasses, so he could see for the first time in months. "Now" she said grinning slyly.

"Now?" he asked confused.

"Jeez you men are so slow!" she said yet was smiling so widely as she did it before kissing him fully on the lips.

When Wesley got home...he didn't cry...he hadn't cried since the event. Not about them anyways. He had never cried about that wonderful summer with his family. How he had finally gotten that teacher's degree. How he had gotten a job at Pinegreen High teaching English, which paid much more, then a sub. How he had finally gotten the women of his past present and future dreams. How he had started coaching swim team for fun. How his little brother (Luke) was an all-star swimmer. How Shadow, even though was not blind he stayed loyal to him. How he had celebrated 4'Th July, Halloween, and saw Christmas with his family, which then included the Wattson girls. How Emma found out she was a slayer, and at the age of 9 started training, and how he was her watcher. Wesley looking back no matter what would never change a thing about that entire year. From every fight he had with Emma to every kiss he had with Liz. He would never change that year because it was literally the happiest year of his life. Yet his third year things changed. Because his third year...was his last year...before the event that changed everything.
