Chapter Five: Whatever you do I will always love you!
Dawn P.O.V
Well I can't say I'm not shocked because well I really am! So my ditz of a sister gave Spike of all people Shanshu! And now she wants a two-way portal to the powers because of her I-am-still-a-vampire-but-want-to-be-a-human soul mate! We had finally reached the alley and there stood her stupid ex! I repeat EX! I will talk to him before I agree to her bizarre plan! God all my watchers training is making me more British by the day, tomorrow I'll ask for tea and scones for breakfast! Wait a minute; I'm going of the topic, bad, bad Dawnie!
"Ok then so you want me and Willow to make you a portal to The Powers, all so dead boy can get what he wants?"
"Yes sis and dawn? Don't call him dead boy! God your worse than Xander!" If that is all Buffy has to say then well… She was referring to THE Xander yeah? The one who above all things has called Angel Dead boy, the pointed tooth fairy and many other things that I really can't be bothered to remember for him! I can still see harm in it but Angel wants to go there for Cordy! I mean come on, is she his new definition of a 'Soul' mate? Willow brought the ingredients and I know the French so I guess were set!
"Will is it ok if I do the French and then you do the meditating?" She simply nodded in reply; we were all set! I picked up the rosemary and the talisman which was the symbol of The Powers. Willow drew a pentagram on the floor of the alley in chalk. I put down a burning candle on the point which was of fire. Willow then put down a dish of water, a pile of herbs (for earth) and a jostling stick for air. We were set it was Buffy and Angel's time to say the English.
"Hecate, Goddess of the Wicca, please help us journey through to The Powers That Be's Dimension!" They spoke in unison
"Hécate, Angélus et Buffy adorent tu, assists s'il vous plait!" (A/N Pardon any mistakes i am new at this!)
"Un portal sil vous plait, le Powers, téléport Buffy et Angelus! S'il vous plait! S'IL VOUS PLAIT!" I screamed the last bit! Let the Powers know that this is my way of helping my sister; the Slayer.
And then there was the flash of light…
Buffy P.O.V
I blinked at the brightness of the flash and then I blinked again and was surrounded by the white again. I was at the Dimension of The Powers; their territory! Angel was beside me. I knew this as my Angel sense was tingling, again. To say the least we were here and if I had too I'd die all over again to give Angel about em… I think he is 24 when he was sired so I reckon about 60-70 years of humanity. He'd be able to spend it with anyone! Nina the Werewolf or Sabrina the Teenage Witch for all I care! My life for his was the Powers basic message.
But then again even if I take this back and he never even know that it was my sacrifice that gave him the Shanshu he yearned for. Or well even his life, with whoever it is, is because I basically gave my life. I could do a Macbeth and then go against all the good points to do it but the Lady Macbeth side of my brain would win. She died too I guess! As long as Angel is happy I will remain happy. He must never know if I choose to do this, never! If he ever had the guilt of being the reason I died for the 3rd time well he'd brood then brood some more for the rest of his living experience!
Might as well begin with the questioning of The Almighty Powers. To say the least I am literally there puppet! Like Angel was, ha ha! I will bring that up one day, in the near-ish future! Bet he loved it, but I guess he still kicked Spikes ass and, may I add the apparent story is, in a lift! I can't wait any longer for god's sake Angel. Speak! Question them! Give away my life already! Macbeth is starting to win. Die again, don't die again, die again, don't die again! Hurry up Angel! I can't really continue like this forever.
My hand came to Angel's mark on my neck. It still exists in a white-ish colour. The mark was basically my last memories of Angel. The last "intimate" moment we spent. I am not Buffy-the-vampire-slayer-who-was-born-yesterday so I know that when he marked me it is meant to be eternal. It basically means I belong to him; I am his property. And with me he can do what he likes. Dracula's bite didn't scar as I was already a possession of another. Dracula basically broke some boundaries and damn I should tell Angel about him! But not now and not ever if he Shanshus. What I have to remember is the strength he'll receive; a newly sired vamp for now and until he dies! And damn it why did I have to be in the stupid prophecy anyways!
Angel P.O.V
Lalala come on! I need to speak to Cordy! I don't care where she is but she'd know what to do… I hope because I sure as hell don't! Humanity or Buffy what the hell am I meant to choose. I am starting to regret the first time I gave up my life for her. The bastard Powers gave her 18 months of life only for her to be ripped out of heaven! I remember our conversation very well!
-Flashback (Angel's P.O.V)-
Oh my god she's coming closer. I can feel her! I want to touch her again, see her again and hear her voice. I was told she was in a hell dimension by Willow and I've been there so I guess I can comfort her. Oh my god she could have been there for centauries! Why did I go to Pylea? WHY! I stare behind me only to see her there. We're at this little motel place half an hour from Sunnydale.
"Buffy…" I bet my Buffy face is on right about now!
"Angel…" The normal way we greet has yet again been repeated. It may be a word but to me she is my sun shine. She is the reason I feel human rather than an animal. She is the reason I live each day to try and help her, secretly of course. I help the L.A side and if she ever would call then heck I'll go to the ends of the earth for her. I'd even die to save her! Maybe I should have died… If I slightly drained her then ran into that portal would she of lived? Would she of been happy, with Spike?
I smell her vanilla scent. In her scent there is something else hidden though; fear.
"Buffy I smell fear, are you still shocked from leaving hell?" She shuddered at my words. Oh my god she's in tears! I better be crazy thinking what I'm thinking but I better ask…
"Buffy you were in heaven weren't you?" She simply nodded and cried some more, "Come here Buffy; my Buffy." She came closer and we kissed. It had been my first kiss with her in years. The happiness I felt was not completely pure but it was pretty damn close! Buffy broke off first for oxygen, if possible I wish it lasted forever. We cuddled for hours until we finally had to part. Before she left I gave her the Claddagh ring I found in an ash heap many years ago when I returned from hell. We parted in the typical Buffy-and-Angel way. We kissed for longer than before then she walked away.
"You still my girl?" I yelled after her.
And with a turn and her Angel face on she replied the way I loved… "Always"
-End Flashback-
The phrase I said kept repeating in my mind. I'd even die to save her… Is it still the same now? Or have I turned into an animal. Have I lost the love of my life over guilt? Not yet. Random things Buffy had said to me plagued my mind. I want my life to be with you, you still my girl? Always, close your eyes, how's forever for you? These were some of the many. Clips of our lives together then flashed through my mind. There was me and her dancing at the prom, me giving her the claddagh, my night of pure happiness with her, random kisses, us patrolling together, me and her fighting The Judge with me begging to be killed first and then it moved onto the darker images.
There was me staring through Buffy's window; stalking her, me drawing a picture of her, me taunting her about our night together and then the one I hated the most; me marking her. I still shudder at the thought. I had made her my property basically. No vampire would ever bite there, it is just not done! If a vampire did I wouldn't treat it as madly as Angelus would but basically it'd be dust right now. Buffy will never know the lengths I would go to just to protect her. Just to let her live another day and only one would be enough. My mind drifted back to me biting her and I screamed out loud.
Buffy P.O.V
Great both of the ensouled vampires are screamers. Made my day even better! I'll start with the talking to The Powers; I bet Angel will just go all scream-y again!
"The Powers that be, hear my plea!" Hey that rhymed! Cool anyways, "I wish for Angel to be able to choose the path he wishes. Whether it be my sacrifice for his humanity or to stay with me for the rest of my life, I wish it to happen."
"That can be done Chosen One. You have decided to lay your future in Angelus' hands. Choose ensouled vampire the price is now changed as you have requested to change our rules. The Chosen One's life now in return for your humanity or you may live forever with her but will eventually watch her die. It lies in your unworthy hands now to choose whether to give away her life here and now or remain a vampire for eternity."
I close my eyes shut and I am almost certain of his choice. I prepare to die again and I will in about two minutes. My sacrifice will save humanity forever and allow Angel to become human. I have had enough of not being able to see him everyday! Also to not be able to touch him daily yet alone kiss him! Dawn comes to my mind. She is 'the Key' still, and does possess some strength as she is a part of me but what will become of her once I die? Will she live with Willow? Will she live with Xander? Heck, will she live with Angel the Human? And where will I go, Heaven again or Hell? Will I go to where Angel was turned into an animal? Will another Slayer be called? The last time I died one wasn't so I don't think do now. Will Angel understand my last request?
"Ok Angel say your choice please. I have brought you here to help you and remember what ever you do I will always love you!" The song 'Wild horses' sprang to my mind. Then the memory of my prom did. That was one of the best nights of my life.
"Ok I know my choice Buffy, and I will always love you too! This is nothing personal just the way my life must go." Time to say my requests I guess.
"Ok Angel! Tell the Scoobies I love them, Dawn in particular. Take care of Dawn Angel! Protect her like you'd protect me. And Angel I want a grey grave this time, blacks so out! For the funeral dress me in my dress I wore to the prom with the cross you gave me and the Claddagh. Take of mine what you want but everything else must be given to Dawn. Tell Giles it's not his fault and that I died his Slayer for now and always. And Angel I will always be your girl in my death…"
I stopped there and closed my eyes. Everything I needed to say had been said. Angel would believe I died from a Mohra demon and he became human from the blood, again. He would have heard my speech before I died. It was the way I wished him to know of my death and the way the Powers would do it. Spike would brood with Angel I reckon. I'll watch over them and hey maybe I'll get to be a higher being! That would be so cool! I wanna be like the Whistler, wait he was alive.
I opened my eyes briefly to reach for something from my pocket. I grabbed the Claddagh ring that had been there for ages. I put the ring on with the heart pointing towards me. I leant over and kissed Angel softly on the cheek. With my hand on his mark I closed my eyes again. I was not scared of dying again. Everyone had a time to die and now was my time…
A/N Ooo Cliffie kinda I guess! I finally realized where Christopher Beck's Close your eyes got its name! Yeah! Bargaining part 2! Woot woot! Until next time which is strait after this but still!
