Faith woke the next morning alone. She looked for Angel but he wasn't there.
'Waking up without some one there was a surprise.'
But this time it was different. It wasn't like they had slept with each other or anything. Where was he then? Well this was his place he'd be around here or back soon.
She lay back down. Her mother was gone and so was Maggie. She didn't have anyone. Well…..maybe Angel….but she wasn't going to get her hopes up.
She just lay there. She didn't want to think about it. What was the worst part was that she wasn't as sorry as she should be. She didn't feel as much pain as she should. Part of her was even happy. The woman beat her everyday of her life. Hardly feed her and at times didn't even know her name.
She just wanted to forget.
She slowly got up and walked into the living room.
"Angel?" she asked quietly. He wasn't there.
She looked over. The chairs around the table were all thrown over. The door looked like it had been broken open from the inside.
"Angel?!" She said louder this time.
There had been a struggle of some kind. And know Angel was gone. She looked at the floor hurriedly, searching for any signs of ashes. She saw nothing. But what if they had been scattered? Where was he? Her heart beat pick up speed.
Think. The door is broken open from the inside. Something had to get out. She looked into the hall way. There had been a commotion out there too. There were scratches on the walls among other things.
The fight had gone into the hall. Who would come here though? Angel was a vampire with a soul. Chances were he had some kind of enemy.
But what about those vampires the other night? Lead by the one deformed. The one she had cut. What if he knew about Angel and had gone after him? No one would have to invite him in, Angel was a vampire so the rules of invitation don't count.
She knew she was going out on a limb but this was the only lead she had. She had to find Angel.

Kakistos sat in a large chair a bandage over his eye. That bitch. That fucking whore of a bitch. She'd gotten away too.
The bitch. There was no saving his eye. Even with advanced healing there was nothing that could be done.
He'd rip her open and feed on her insides. He had lived through these eons without any harm. Not even a scratch. Now this girl came and destroyed that record.
The bitch.
He'd kill her mother and watcher. She had no one. She would be easy to find. All he needed to do was find some one educated in magic and he'd find her.
"Master?"
He turned to look at his servant.
"What is it?"
The young vampire cowered slightly.
"There is some one here to see you. He says his name is Angelus."
