The cry
So here i was in Los Angeles tracking down Angel so i could get my revenge. I didnt want him dead or any thing like that becasue Angel had had it rough to. Nore did i want to upset Connor, his son.
Yes you head correctly his son. Angel and his sire Darla had him but Darla never got to see Connor. She had staked her self so that Conor could be born, whom we acctualy never figured out why was born. Then again we never did find out whyi was born either.
At that moment in time though none of that matted to me but it did not stop me on refelecting on the path yet again.
When Connor was only four weeks old he was stollen by Holtz, who was Drussila's father, my grand father. Holtz knew nothing of me. He had turned him self to stone so he could arive in the future and kill Angel becasue he knew he would not live long anoth. Angelous, Angels name before he got his soul back, Had killed Holtz's entire family and turned one of his daughters, my mother, into a vampire. Holtz had found out about Connor adhad decided to get his own back on Angel by kid napping the baby and taking to an alternate reality.
When Holtz returned he looked like a very tired old man and Connor was now very, if i can say so, a very handsome looking seventeen year old. His brown hair like mine was just long anoth to place in a pony tail and he had green eyes just like me. But Connors eyes didnt have the spark that mine had, his eyes where cold.
They had only been gone three weeks but Holtz had brain washed Connor into thinking that he was Holtz's son. I really dont want to go into to mutch detail becasue my story hasnt even started yet. Ill simply put it this way, Holtz was killed and onnor thought it was Angel but ti wasnt Angel it was me.
I had decided to come down and help Angel becasue you would probbaly want to try and stake your self too if your only child had been kidnapped. When i found out who Holtz was and what he had done to Connor i decided to put a stop to it.
I visited Holtz and when he answered the door i was greated by a very old looking man who looked around seventy. His hair was a mass of wirery white hair and his eye told of great storys.
Before i let him speak i told him that i was his grad daughter and ofcourse he didnt belives me! Would you? He gestured me in and told me that little girls should be at hiome tucked into their beds and not trying to wriggle their way into things that did not consern them.
As you can guess i was slightly angry. Thi man had had his entire family killed by vampires, turned to stone, kidnapped a child and legged it into an aternate reality yet he didnt belive me.
I decided now or never becaue i knew Connor would be back at any moment so i took out my knife and stbbed Holtz twice in the neck. I had left the seen in a hurry and now i see how stupid i was because th stab wounds looked like bite marks.
I knew that the best thing to do was to befriend Connor and that was plan of mine that did not fail. At first Connor didnt belive who i was but i soon conviced him and he for got about Holtz. I knew i had to get out of Los Angeles before Connor found out but i still wrote to him to let him know that he was not alone in this world.
The Wolfram and hart building had more sercurity than i thought so i went from the top of the building down. Climbing up the ladders on the side of the building i was able to prize open the roof door. Being avampire ment that my sences where enhanced so i listened to see if any one was coming. As i heard nothing i walked forwards in side what looked like a long corridor with an elivator situated right at the end.
Even though i was a vampire my back was still aching from carry my bag with my skate board attached. I decided that it wouldnt be too smart of me too take the elivator just incase the camera's picked me up.
Like any normal teenager i hated to walk long distances, especialy when it was for tweenty minutes. I finally found where i supposed to be going and it was the third floor.
Not because i have special powers that tell me where i was but the fact that i found a rather large sighn situated on a pair of golden doors. I hate being short so i streched to my full height and read the sighn saying: 3rd Floor:
Reception desk
Conference room
Main ofice
photo copying
decapatation
The main office is where i needed to be, so ignoring the decapatation bit i opend the door as quietly as i could. Not wanting to be seen i looked around and saw no one apart from a blonde haired girl at the desk. She had her back towards me filling her nails.
The main office was right next to her desk and with out one last thought i pegged it as fast as i could past her desk. I reached the door just as the receptionist turned around.
Closing the door behind me i turned around to be faceed with a giant Office. There was a burgandy sofa placed in the middle of a dark oak floor and a husge bay window with white blinds pulled down.
More oak furniture was at the end of the room in the form of a giant desk and to the back of it layed a velvet coved wall.
The wall had more weapons on it than i had ever seen in my life, and that was along time. I tore my eyes away from them and made my towrds the desk. Sitting at the desk i spun around and around making my self slightly dizzy, so i stopped and faced what looked like an elivaotr inside the room which i thought was a little odd.
I turned my attetion back to the weapons and as i was about to pick u a ruby incrested sward i heard a familiar voice enter the room.
"Look idont care if he did save that women from a burnig building he still sacrificed her didnt he? I dont care if..." The voice stopped half way through conversation.
"Pheonix" Said the voice and i spun around looking straight into familiar brown eyes. Angel was wearing a long sleved grey shirt complete with a balck siut and matching leather shoes.
Having relised he had stopped half way through his conversation on his mobile, Angel retreated back to it.
"Gunn im goning to have to get back to you." he vampire spoke into his mobile with conffusion and then switched it off turing his attention to me.
"Pheonix what are you doing here." Angel asked now edging his way slowly towards me.
"People of today, i dont even get a hello." I said smilling spining on the chair with my long brown hair swirling around.
"What are you doing here. I though you had gone to Europe with Buffy and the other slayers." Angel questioned and i gave a little laugh.
"I dont do well traveling, you of all people should no that." I said still spinning around on the chair.
"So you thought what the heck, ill go and annoy Angel." The vampire asked and i nodded my head.
"Yep, thats pretty much it." I stopped spinning on the chair and i lost my smile.
"Do you have any idea what happens to a vampire when he stands in the su." I asked seriously standing up with my hands on the desk. I looked up at Angel and hate filled my eyes.
"Do you know what happens when some one is a coward and listnes to their ex-girl friend. Well do you?" I was angry now and making my way over to Angel.
"Pheonix what are yo on about."
"He was so stupid and becasue of you ive lost him. It should have been you." I shouted at him whith my fists clenched. I had never cried in my whole life but it had finnaly sunk in at i had lost my father and he was never come back.
Instead of trying to hit Angel i collasped to the floor with my head in my hands now sobbing quietly to my slef.A hundred and eighteen years and i had never cried once. Not even as a new born baby.
Crouching down, Angel lifted up my chin and a tear fell onto his hands.
"Im so sorry." He apologised i i saw somthing in Angel hat i had never seen before. Im still now not qiuet sure what it was but i think it was sorrow.
"Angel is every thing ok, we herd shouting." Came a females voice which was weir because i had never heard the doors open.
"Yes Fred where fine." Angel said still looking at me but i didnt want to look at any one. I closed my eyes tight and placed my head in my knees this time and felt tears on my jeans.
"Where ok Fred." Through my jeans i coud see that Angel was looking at me with concern. He too had never seen me cry but i as near anoth a mess and wipped my face with the sleve of my baggy black t shirt.
"The amulet you gave to Buffy, she gave it too Spike who wore it down in the school. He imploded and took the whole of Sunnydale with him." I kept my eyes on the floor because i was still angry at Angel.
"What do you mean he blew up." ASked Angel still looking at me as if his stare was anoth to keep me where i was. I wanted him to let me go, to let me leave because i didnt want to go through the horror again of telling him that i watched my father burn up and die.
