The nurse walked away. Angel stood where he was having absolutely no idea what he was supposed to do now. Leave? Then again she was alone. He couldn't leave her by herself in a hospital. Then again the nurse was calling her home. Someone would be here soon. But there was something in her attitude and gestures that told him she didn't have a very good home. Her dark eyes remained fixed on the door the nurse had just left threw.

"Why do you keep helping me?" she asked with a tone of suspicion.

"I don't know." He answered honestly. "Where ever I go you're just there, and in trouble."

"Why should a vampire care?" she asked with that same tone of suspicion.

So she figured it out. He wondered how much she knew.

"So you know?" he said simply.

"I know enough Angelus."

"It's Angel."

"Don't you think that's a little hypocritical?" she said now giving him her full attention. "Especially with your track record."

"If you know who I am and what I've done why don't you kill me? You are the slayer."

"One, technically I'm not the slayer. Two, I haven't had the chance until now and now I don't have a stake. Three, why don't you kill me? Why are you helping me? A dead slayer would be great for bragging to your blood sucking buddies."

"I'm not like I used to be." He said almost walking away. "And I try to keep my distance from other vampires."

"Why? To them you'd almost be a superman."

"I told you I'm different."

"How?" she asked

"I have a soul."

"A soul." Faith said skeptically.

"I know it sound unbelievable but I was cursed. And for a vampire having a soul is a curse. I regret every single thing I've done as a vampire."

Faith looked at him a little oddly. It DID sound a little unbelievable. But still there was something different about him then other vampires. Or guys for that matter. His eyes didn't look like a vampires eyes in their human form. There was something there. Something that looked....alive. He was different then the vicious scheming monster she had read about.

"Okay."

"What?" he asked sounding a bit odd.

"I said okay. I believe you."

Angel was a little surprised. He wasn't really sure what to do. He didn't think that she would believe him.

"Why?" he asked with nothing else to say.

"In the last few days I've learned that magic spells and witches are real. That all of those things that go bump in the night really do exist and I have super human strength and it's by 'destiny' to destroy them. This isn't that big of a leap for me."

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For believing me." He shrugged while he said it.
