They all waited around the lobby of the Hyperion Hotel Buffy's eyes followed Angel's every move and they narrowed when he went over to Cordelia and wrapped his arms around her waist, he leant forward and whispered something into her ear that made her laugh. She couldn't help the jealousy that ate at her from inside. But Angel had made it crystal clear that he was in love with Cordelia Chase, Buffy just had to bide her time she was sure it wouldn't work between the two of them and then he would come back to her.

Willow watched Buffy she knew that Buffy still hadn't given up hope with her and Angel even the witch could see that Angel and Cordy it was true, it was going to be forever and for them it was true they were both dead.

Suddenly the globes appeared and their stood the charmed ones and Leo were in front of them. Piper frowned when she saw that the slayers eyes were on one dark haired vampire with a soul.

"So you get the vanquishing potion and spell." Cordy said with a smile Angel's arms still holding her.

"Yeah we do." Phoebe said with a grin.

"Do we have a plan?" Paige asked.

Willow stepped forward. "If I make a spell, a big one, they will come for me. Wes has put a tracker spell on me and Cordy can sense me. You come rescue me we put as my power through whatever they are sending it through, Mr bad guy comes you vanquish and we win." She said laughing everyone knew it wouldn't be quite that easy but it was a plan.

Piper walked towards Willow. "Do you need any help with the spell?"

"No I'm good but thank you." The red head said shyly looking at the oldest charmed one still amazed that she had met them.

Wes looked around. "Are we ready?" Everyone nodded and he turned to Willow and nodded.

Willow went to the centre of the lobby where they had set up for her to do her spell, everyone else walked towards the sides of the room to give the witch room and so they wouldn't be noticed straight away but still close enough to help.

Spike shook his head he would help that is what he did now, he also understand Angel better they may never be friends but they understood each other better. He could see the way Buffy watched Angel no man would ever get that look from her it was only meant for Angel. She couldn't move on, but Angel had.

The blonde vampires gaze moved to Angel and Cordelia, they were meant to be together you could see it in the way they talked, they could truly be themselves with each other and they trusted and loved each other completely. He was jealous, truly jealous of the vampire. Even though he had joined the group he was not really welcome. He hadn't earned it yet like Angel, Fred was the only one that went out of her way to make him feel like one of them, she still had an innocence about her even after everything she had been through.

A light grabbed his and everyone else's attention it emanated from the centre of the room from Willow. She was focused and could not see anyone around her, a portal opened to her side when some men in monks robes came and grabbed her, everyone rushed forward but the portal had been so close to the witch that they managed to get hold of her before anyone could reach her side and the portal closed as quickly as it had arrived.

Buffy screamed standing in the spot where Willow had been she turned to Cordelia her eyes blazing with angel.

"You did this? It was your fault." It was all her fault.

Before Angel could step in Spike did. "Buffy it is not her fault none of this is. Not Willow or Angel. I thought we could have something together I thought you were moving forward but you can't let go of the past." Spike's soul seemed to shatter once he realised he would never have the slayers love but he couldn't blame Angel for that. He turned away from Buffy. "Are we ready to go and rescue red?"

Angel nodded and turned to Cordelia.

"I know where she is? This is amazing I can just feel her." Cordelia smiled at Kennedy. "Let's go and rescue our witch."

Willow tried to move her arms and legs but couldn't as she was tied to an alter. She breathed deeply they were going to rescue her, she had to have faith she was sent on this journey for a reason, to become a witch, to have her own whitelighter. The red head knew that all the other witches would now be safe no matter what happened to her.

Men in robes walked over to her, their head covered by robes as they started to chant, one of them pulled out a knife from the sleeve and cut her arms, the blood seeped up from the wound, it slowly dripped down onto the pattern that lay on the alter beneath her. It slowly began to fill the grooves the blood began to run along the lines filling it all until the alter pattern was covered. The monks started to chant over and over, a bright light above her appeared and started to grow, wind started to blow around. Willow closed her eyes and moved her head to the side.

"Please, please, please." She began to beg over and over again.

Cordelia and Leo orbed the others in just as the light and gotten so bright they were blinded by in and then in an instance it was gone. They all ran over to the redhead and untied her. Cordelia reached out her hand and a glow came from it and moved over the slit that had been made on both of her arms and in an instance her arms were healed, not even a scar. They helped her to sit up and held her arms waiting to help her of the alter but she was frozen they looked at her face to see what the problem was but her gaze was on something else all of them turned and couldn't believe what they had saw. It was a man.

He looked like a man, a very sexy looking one. The man was tall, regal; power seemed to come from every pore. His skin was pale, as pale as snow; his eyes were pale blue, as pale as huskies that seemed to see right into you very soul. His hair was red, blood red and unnaturally so, it was long, very long and silky your fingers itched to reach out and run your fingers through it just to find out if it was as soft as it looked. His black cloak flowed behind him it moved as if the wind blew it but there wasn't anything the air was still, the tight black trousers and top moulded to his muscular body, it seemed as if it has been sprayed on. It showed every inch of him in his glory.

He was free, finally he usually couldn't wait to move on to the next world but this one had so much power he was going to enjoy it here. He looked around the room this was a banquet right here. His gaze fell onto the young girls standing with a blonde older one they had strength, more power than they should.

He could feel the magical pull of the witches they were the strongest he had ever felt, he looked over at the four women and smiled, they were going to be savoured he was going to take his time with these.

The man frowned he could sense dead people it confused him. He glanced over at the two men one dark haired and one blonde, he could sense strength from them and lust, blood lust a craving that would never be satisfied.

His gaze passed by the mortal ones they were not important he could just use them to do his will, he would need servants in this world. His eyes reached a man and a woman he hand raised and shielded his eyes there light was so bright it blinded him, there power was from the good itself they were both dead but she ohhh she was so much more, he could feel her strength, her abilities they flowed off her in waves he was getting drunk on them from here. He smiled and his tongue slipped out and wetted his lips in anticipation, she would stand at his side, his queen. Together they will rule this world and all the others. His gaze settled on her, her hazel eyes shone with intelligence, he shoulder length hair dark brown and wavy, his eyes roamed down her body and he mentally stripped away each piece of clothing until in his mind she was naked in all her beauty, she was a goddess designed to be worshiped. He reached out his hand to her calling her to him.

Cordelia was frozen to the spot, her body wanted to move but her heart and mind was screaming no, she didn't want to join him. Angel turned to see the struggle on Cordelia's face; he turned and nodded to the charmed ones as they started to do their spell repeating it over and over again. The power covered the room they power surged around all of them.

He could feel it his pale blue eyes narrowed his gaze left the woman he planned to make his as it searched the room trying to find the cause of the surge and it landed on the three women hidden in a corner.

"Get them!" He said softly but his voice carried, it flowed over everyone skins like silk, it made you want to rub your hands up and down your skin trying to feel more of it.

The monks ran forward knives drawn the Scoobies and the AI gang ran towards them to give the Halliwell's time to build up enough power to destroy him. They attacked as knives, fists and legs were thrown.

Cordelia moved to join the battle when a voice in her mind stopped her.

"Cordelia?" It said she turned and standing toe to toe with her was him, he reached up a hand and stroked her cheek, she closed her eyes and sighed leaning into his touch. The brunette reached out her hand and stroked his hair, as she had wanted to do the first moment she had set eyes on him. His power was stronger close up; her mind screamed at her too stop, her heart was calling out for Angel.

Her eyes opened and widened and she tried to step back from him but he managed to get hold of her wrist and squeezed it tightly.

"ANGEL." She screamed.

"Your mine, you know you want me." He leant forward and whispered in her ear, her body shuddered with arousal.

Cordelia tried to pull away but he was so very strong and she couldn't get away, tears fell from her eyes as she struggled. She could feel his attraction to her it was pressing up against her stomach. Her hazel eyes widened in fear. "Let me go?" She begged.

"You will be with me forever." He told her.

"No she is mine forever just like I am hers." Said an angry masculine voice.

A smile lit her face and it got bigger as she heard the angry growl from her champion but more importantly from the vampire she loved completely. The man from the other dimension released her wrist and turned to the vampire. But in a blink of an eye Angel barrelled into Cordelia was so much power that they went flying but the vampire managed to turn his body so as they landed he was underneath her protecting her from the hard landing.

"What the hell?" Cordelia glared at Angel.

A loud noise made jump, a lightening flash and smoke appeared in the room Cordelia turned and saw the charmed ones standing over a pile of ash.

Angel turned to her and smiled. "It seemed he was so enchanted by you that he never noticed them at his back. Are you ok?" He asked as he stroked her face.

"I'll be a lot better if you kiss me." She said with a grin.

"That would be my pleasure." Before she could reply his mouth covered hers the tongues teasing each other.

There was a loud cough and some laughter and the two of them finally pulled apart grinned to their audience.

Hyperion Hotel

Buffy looked miserable her heart ached for him but her head was telling her that he was never going to love her the way she loved him but her heart was not going to give up.

Willow walked over to Buffy she had said her goodbyes to everyone else.

"Buffy he's happy doesn't he deserve to be?" The witch asked.

"What about me?" Buffy whined.

Willow shook her head. "It has taken him 250 years to finally be truly happy when it has taken you that long then you can say that. Let him go then maybe you'll be happy. I love you Buffy I always will but the Hellmouth is gone we need to move on with our lives mine is here with Angel Investigations now. You just need to find your place I'm going to miss you."

Buffy smiled and held her friend tightly. "I love you too and am going to miss you."

She let go of Willow and walked to the door where Xander and Dawn waited.

"You ready Buff." Xander asked her with a smile.

Buffy nodded with a wave and a sad smile to Angel she walked out arm in arm with her sister and her friend she knew that this was the first step in saying goodbye to her first love.

The Halliwell's and Leo said goodbye to everyone and then hugged Cordy. "Keep in touch and don't forget to visit orb in anytime." Paige said with a laugh.

"Goes both ways remember." Cordy answered.

Piper turned to Willow "If you need any help get Cordy to orb you over or just use the phone and call ok."

Willow grinned and nodded and then they orbed off with a wave.

"How about we order some food and talk. I want to get to know you again Willow and to get to know Kennedy for the first time." Cordy told them with a grin.

Everyone nodded in agreement, Angel wrapped his arms around Cordy as they all sat down and started to talk, the Angel Investigations, the family was growing more and more but they didn't care they had their heart back and as long as she was there nothing could break them up. They would deal with any other situation as it arose including what to do about the deal with Wolfram and Hart.

THE END
