I cannot describe this feeling

Now that I've found this love

I'll do anything for you

I'm a fire, burning like a house aflame

I cannot move or see you fly

Now that I've found...

this love

It was late at night when she finally made it to the bronze. She had been up all night talking to Willow. Well more like whispering because she didn't want her mom to hear her. She wasn't grounded anymore and hopefully it would stay that way from now on. So from this point on when Angel comes over, she would be downstairs in the living room because her mother prohibited her to have boys in her room. She sighed wondering why her mom had to be so difficult. She could have protested and stated Angel wasn't a boy for one and second wasn't quite human but then that would lead to all types of odd questions.

She sighed and stared into the crowd as she walked in the bronze. There were a large number of people here tonight, for some reason. Usually it wasn't this pack. She wondered why.

She scanned the area once more when she seen a pair of familiar eyes smiling at her in the corner. She smiled and wondered why he was hidden in the dark corner. If she didn't know any better she would say he was stalking her. Although she had a feeling he always did that but for some reason seeing him tonight sent a cold chill down her spine.

She ignored the feeling and walked up to her boyfriend who was casually staring at her with a glare, or maybe it was a hint of happiness. She didn't know but the only thing she knew was she was glad he was here.

"I'm glad you're here." Buffy said wrapping her arms around Angel's neck.

Angel smiled and caressed his hand across her cheek. "I'm glad you made it."

She smiled feeling that tingeing feeling in her stomach as he caressed her cheek. It surrounded her, for some reason, and she wondered if it was because she was happy to see Angel or was it something else.

She watched him as he moved his hand to the back of her head as his other hand smoothes down her back. She had to hold the moan escaping her mouth as his hard body was suddenly pressed against hers. She wanted him to wrap her legs around him and make love to her until she was in full bliss. However, she knew this was certainly not the place for that. She smirked at that thought thro.

"Do you really think you're ready, Buffy?"

She stared back at him confused and wondered why the odd question. She wondered if he knew that she wanted him, and that she was ready for that one true moment. She stared back at him as she noticed a grin that appeared on his face. He chucked then the sound was odd coming out of his throat it sounded different. Sounded sinful, wicked.. maybe it was just her.

"What do you mean?" Buffy asked as he suddenly took her hand.

" I want to show you something, it's a surprise. He replied holding her hand as she followed him.

Buffy was unsure at first, Maybe it was the stupid nightmares she kept getting. She didn't know she just had a feeling that there was something different about him. She followed him for a moment but lost him as his hand left hers suddenly. "Angel?",

She looked around once more when she was suddenly pulled forward by a blonde vampire. Buffy panicked as she quickly leaned down for her stake, but she remembered she forgot it at her house. Damn. Her instincts suddenly took over, and she reached out to grab his neck when he slapped her making her fall to the floor.

"How does it feel to lose slayer." Spike hissed.

Buffy angrily got up and tried to kick him when she noticed he was a lot stronger than her. He punched her and she landed on a couple of chairs. Most of the people departed now and some stayed as she noticed they were vampires. Great this is not what she expected.

She suddenly was pulled up by a pair of strong arms wrapped around her body. She looked up and smiled. "Angel.".….and before he could say more she seen a stake protruding from his heart.

"ANGEL." she screamed as he turns to dust right before her eyes. Her heart goes in shock as her eyes fall to the ground as tears stream her face. The only thing left was the Ring of Amara that laid in his ashes.

She was too stunned to do anything as she sunk to her knees on the floor. Her hands were reaching for the ring when someone picked it up.

"How does it feel to lose someone you love Slayer?

"No." Buffy stands up her eyes glaring daggers at Spike. She shook her head thinking this had to be a terrible dream.

Spike smiles as he puts the ring on and moves closer to her and pulls her forward. "How about I give you something better slayer."

"And what would that be, your head on a stick." She murmured angrily. She was about to kick him when she hears a familiar laugh behind her. Spike drops her hand as a pair of hands pulls her against a familiar strong body. The man's arm wrap around her waist as his other hand pulls her chin towards him. "Hello lover."

Her heart skips a beat for a moment looking at his eyes. "Angel……..but you're….." she couldn't say the words, she just stared at him.

She hears the same laughter again. She looked up and was surprised as she sees' Angel's face vamped out his eyes bright yellow staring at her. "Angel what are doing?" she said frightened.

He didn't answer he just grinned like this was some type of game to him. She looked back at him confused, and before she knew it he had pulled her head forward and stared at her. She didn't notice this before but the crowd around her was sneering at her like, they wanted her….Dead. "Angel you're……….

"I am not your lover slayer…….I'm your worst nightmare." Before Buffy could register what was happening his fangs were in her neck. "Angel."

After a few minutes of drinking her blood, he tears his fangs away and looks at the slayer in his arms. "Was it good for you lover? I know it was for me."

*******************************************************************

"Angel." Buffy's scream's wide awake from her nightmare. She looks around and realizes she's in her bedroom. She was scared and confused by it. It felt so…...real. However, she knew for one thing this was just no ordinary dream it felt more like one of her visions. Did that mean her and Angel were in danger? Was Spike actually going to get the ring of Amara? And she still didn't understand why Angel would say things like that in her dream or when he bites her. It made no since to her. She just knew he would never hurt her. Her head flops back on the bed in frustration of why she was having nightmares instead of getting hot sexy dreams about him. Life was unfair.

A minute later her door opened, and she wondered if it was going to be worse. Her mom peeked in and walked in. "With all the screaming, I thought you had a boy in your bed….Again." Joyce said slightly smirked when she realized there was no one else in her daughter's bed.

Buffy rolled her eyes at her mother. "No, mom wait…..screaming. What did I say?" Buffy replied trying to hide the blush appearing on her face from embarrassment.

"Just…. Angel." her mom said.

"Oh." Buffy stared at her mom and seen that glare in her eyes. "No mom it wasn't that type of dream. It was a really….Really bad nightmare." Buffy said.

"Are you sure?....You're not having…..um"...

"Mom I'm not." Buffy replied knowing what she was going to say, and she really didn't want to have the sex talk with her mom. 'I'm fine Mom, me and Angel are not having any type of sexual contact….of any kind." Buffy blushed.

Joyce stared at her wondering if she was hiding something. Joyce decided to ignore it for now as she stared at her. "Fine………I'll go and let you get dressed for school."

Joyce closed the door as she walked back to the kitchen. She smiled wondering why time had to go so fast; she could still remember when Buffy was so small and innocent. She wished she was still little again. It was so much easier to deal with.

******************************************************************

Buffy was almost out the door when she heard the door bell ring. "I got it mom." She ran to it and opened it. Her face lit up.

"Angel." she wraps her arms around him. "How are you?"

"Good." He smiled and took her hand and kissed it. Joyce walked in at that moment and smiled at her daughter and her boyfriend.

"Hi Angel, how are you this morning?" She asked.

"Uh good. You don't care if I take Buffy to school do you?" Angel asked.

Joyce looked at them and smiled. "Sure…..just be home before Dinner." She replied.

Buffy stared at her and totally forgot to tell her mom, she was staying at Willows. Well not actually she was planning on staying at Angels. However, her mom didn't need to know that. "I know this is kind of late noticed but Willow wanted me to stay at her place, you know a slumber party and my birthday is tomorrow so"………

Joyce stopped her. "Yes you can go Buffy, I'll just call Willow's mother to clarify it." She smiled.

Buffy frowned. Damn she was going to have to find Willow as soon as she went to school to have her cover for her. Buffy smiled and kissed her mom goodbye before she left.

Angel followed her knowing something was up. "So what was that all about?" Angel asked as he opened the car door for her.

"Oh nothing, just a cover up so I can do my nightly job of staking vampires." She had to hold back the grin on her face knowing if tonight turned out well her cute vampire boyfriend will be staking her. She giggled at the thought.

Buffy sat in the car as Angel drove. When he parked the car at the school parking lot Buffy pulled him in for a kiss. Angel smiled and released his lips as he could see something was bothering her. "What's wrong Buffy…you seem upset?"

Buffy scowled. "I'm just worried. I had a dream or maybe it was a vision last night. I don't know but I have a bad feeling that something terrible is going to happen to you Angel."

Angel smirked and took her hand. "Nothing is going to happen to me Buffy, I promise." Angel smiles slightly wondering if it was the right time to give her this. He wanted to give it to her yesterday, but it didn't feel right. Angel reaches into his pocket and grabs the small box in his pocket.

"I have something for you. For your birthday. I... I was gonna give it to you earlier, but"…. He opens the box and shows her as her face lights up.

"It's beautiful." She replied pulling the ring out of the box. She then looked at him wondering just for a moment, if he was asking to marry her. Ok that is a little too soon for that, and she really wasn't thinking that way ahead yet. She smiled when he took her hand. Tons of thoughts were going threw her head. Oh god was he actually going to ask her for marriage. She stared at him slight nervous over what was going to happen.

"My people -- before I was changed -- they exchanged this as a sign of devotion. It's a claddagh ring. The hands represent friendship; the crown represents loyalty... and the heart... Well, you know... Wear it with the heart pointing towards you. It means you belong to somebody."

He shows her the ring he has on his hand. "Like this."

Buffy touches his hand, leans over and kisses the ring.

He smiles and takes the ring from the box and slips it onto her finger. Angel kisses her on lips and stares back at her. "I love you."

Buffy looks up at him and smiles. "I love you too." She hugs him wanting to tell him more about the dream but she decided not to. She didn't want to ruin this perfect moment.

********************************************************************

Buffy sat at the small table as her and Willow were discussing about her dream from last night and the fact she would have to cover for her if her mom called tonight.

"I know it was freaky, but I can't just assume that it was a vision. It could have been just a dream, well a very bad nightmare." Buffy replied. "And embarrassing."

"Embarrassing?" Willow repeated curiously.

"Yes, I supposedly screamed Angel's name, which woke up my mom. She came in my room expecting Angel in my bed."

Willow gigged." Ya I would be embarrassed too, but at least she didn't find Angel there…..right?"

"Yes, Angel was not in my bed this time. If he had been I probably would have been grounded yet again."

"Well maybe Giles would find something." Willow spoke.

Buffy looks back at Giles, who was still researching. That was so like him. She looked down and almost forgot about the ring. "Oh I forgot to tell you about the ring Angel gave me." She shows Willow her hand.

"Oh I read about those, its claddagh ring. It's like a wedding ring, they used long time ago." Willow smiled.

'A wedding ring wow. I think it's a little too early for me to think about marriage Willow. You know a high school girl and the fact my mother would not improve.

Willow smirked. "Well at least he didn't ask you. Then it would be quite unusual."

Buffy smiles. "ya that's true." She looks up as she suddenly see's Xander. "Hay Xander."

"So what's up Bufster" Xander sits beside Willow.

" Ah nothing much just doing some research on a dream or vision I had awhile back."

Giles comes out of his office as he notices Buffy and her friends there. He walks over and sits down. He looked at Buffy. "Well. I just finished the book; I think I found what you're looking for. They're called the Oracles."

"Orcles, Ores? What's that some type of cookie?" Buffy asked smirking.

"Is it the ones with chocolate chip and mint fudge?" Xander replied.

"Fudge? How about the ones with strawberry?" Willow exclaimed.

Giles rolled his eyes at the kids in front of him. "Um….No and there called Oracles not Oreos. "They are known to speak for the Powers, and to help in shaping Fate. Their dimension can be accessed by true Champions. In order to gain an audience it requires the proper rituals and a giving of an offering."

"Ah Wow," Buffy commented. "So that means they're good."

"Ah yes, they are gods actually. They help set the balance right." Giles spoke quite interested in it.

"Oh cool do they grant wishes to." Xander replied with a grin.

"Um no."

"Ok so I guess there is no way to meet these gods, unless we know a ritual and have an offering. Buffy replied as she stared at Xander.

Xander noticed the glare. "Hay, you wouldn't sacrifice your best friend would you?" Xander asked.

"Oh I don't think she would ever do that, right Buffy." Willow exclaimed.

"Ah hah." Buffy replied knowing he would just annoy the gods to death if she sent him there. "I also had another dream today. "I was at the bronze, Spike was there and he……………killed Angel. He then took the ring of Amara." Buffy replied

"Oh he killed deadboy. That could mean a good thing." Xander said. Willow jabbed him. "Ow"

"Oh dear. You should talk to Angel about this to make sure, he is aware if Spike did try something." Giles spoke.

Buffy ignored Xander even know she did want to slap him sometimes. She stared back at Giles. "I did that Giles but I still have this feeling something bad is going to happen. My last dream I had was months ago, and it came true. You know with me fighting the master and dying." She replied.

"Yes But you came back and killed him. That was the good thing." Willow said.

"Ya ground him up into little bitsy pieces." Xander exclaimed. "Remember."

Buffy frowned. "Yes I remember Xander. It still doesn't make me feel better. I'm going to head out." She stood up and made her way out of the library. She needed some air and some time to think.

"Well, that's not a perky birthday puppy." Xander exclaimed

"So much for our surprise party for tomorrow. I bought little hats and everything. Oh, well. I guess I'll tell Cordelia to help with the clean up." Willow replied.

"No, you won't. We're having a party tomorrow, and besides Ms. Calendar wants to come. She didn't tell me why exactly. Well I'm heading back to my office" Giles went back to his office.

Xander's stares at Giles. "Looks like Giles got himself a date, and he doesn't know it yet."

"Maybe we could give Giles a book on dating since he likes to research so much." Willow exclaimed amused.

Xander chuckles. "I say we go tell Ms. Calendar and have her give him the book. I think it would be more hilarious that way." Willow just smirks.

*******************************************************************

That night at the cemetery.

Buffy starts scanning the graveyard around her as she goes. She hears a noise nearby.

"Ok fun times over vamps." Buffy shouted. She looked around as she suddenly seen a familiar vamp nearby. He was hidden in the shadows and was leaning against a tree in the darkness. The only thing that gave it was his bleached blonde hair?

"Well if it isn't Mr. I don't have any soul." Buffy said.

Spike grinned and took a step away from the tree and stared at her. "Now is that any way to bloody treat the vampire that will kill you shortly." Spike said amused.

The only person that's going to get killed is you." Buffy replied pulling the stake out of her hair.

Spike threw his cigarette down and changed to his demon face. "Well let's get it on slayer."

Angered Buffy quickly rushes at him and does a flying kick to his chest. He falls to the ground and quickly leans up and kicks her in the gut.

He tries to kick her again, but she grabs his arm and punches him twice in the face. He swings at her with his other arm, but she ducks and catches it, too. She yanks it back as his other fist hits her sending her body forward against the tree. She struggles to pull herself up when she suddenly feels a hard body pressed against her from behind. He pulls her up and presses her against the tree. Spike presses his chest to her back and leans towards her ear. "Do you really think you can beat me slayer." He licks her ear as Buffy slams her head back in disgust. Spike falls to the ground holding his head. "Bloody hell."

"Ok, that was disgusting. Did anyone ever tell you licking someone's ear in not amusing?" She replied crossing her arms.

Spike got up and laughed. "Maybe, but vampires will take anything you give them, especially young girls that have legs and perky little"….

"Shut up Spike. Did anyone tell you you're a pig?" Buffy said.

"No not really but I wouldn't be talking. It's not like you already laid it out with a vampire."

Buffy gasped of what he said. "What the hell is that supposed to mean."

"It means you're getting horny with my sire." He snickered. "You know I would have never thought of Angelus getting laid by the slayer. It's kind of funny."

Buffy was about to throw her stake to his chest when Angel suddenly came out of nowhere and tackled him to the ground. Angel punches him square in the face.

"Bloody hell, I didn't ask to be tackled you big pouf." Spike replied holding his bloody nose.

Angel pulls him off the ground and grabs him by the throat. "What the hell do you think you're doing Spike?" Angel asked.

Spike snickered as he seen a black van pulled up nearby. "What does it look like?" Spike kicked him in the balls. It didn't affect him much as he was thrown on the ground again. Buffy smiled and walked up to him as she held her stake. 'I guess this means the end for you." She replied going for the strike.

Spike smiles as he kicks the stake out of her hand as he seen six vampires run towards them. Spike rolls back. Angel and Buffy turn as the six vampires run towards them. Angel fights the three beside him as Buffy works on the other three. Spike pushes himself off the ground and walks to the van. He watches as one of his minions Dalton comes out holding a crossbow.

"What took you're bloody so long." Spike hissed.

"Um sorry there was a small problem, but we took care of it." Dayton said nervously.

Spike grabbed the cross bow and headed towards Angel as four other vamps followed him.

Buffy turned as she heard something being shot. She heard Angel cried out.

"Angel."

Buffy turned as she quickly dusts the vampire on the left as she made her way to Angel who was lying on the ground.

Buffy ran as fast as she could but six more vamps came at her stopping her to go any further. She struggled past them but they pushed her to the ground.

Spike walked over and pulled the dart out of Angel's chest. "Take him to the van and tie him up." Spike replied to the other vamps.

Buffy watched as three vamps dragged Angel to the van. She watched Spike walk towards her with a grin. She knew right then that's what her dream was warning her about and if there weren't vampires holding her down she would have given Spike a good beating before killing him.

He smiled and leaned towards her. "How does it feel to lose slayer?"

Buffy fumed as she struggled to push the vamps away but there were too many. "I will kill you Spike if you hurt Angel."

Spike smiled and stood back up. "You can try but I don't think you will." He smiled and walked away leaving her with the six vamps surrounding her. He turned back to them. "Don't kill her i want that pleasure..... But you can break her." Spike smiled walking back to the van as he drove off.

Buffy was pissed as he left with Angel and more then so she was pissed that these stupid vampires was stopping her from rescuing Angel. She looked up as one vampire suddenly slapped her across the face.

"This is no time to daydream slayer." One vampire hissed.

Infuriated she struggled again as the two vampires on the side held her wrist together.

"You know you're a pretty one for a slayer." One vamped hissed.

Buffy had to hold back the disgust as she stared at them. 'Yes and did anyone tell you that you're not that pretty, actually not at all."

The vamp growled and jumped her sending the other two beside her to move away. Buffy panicked as her stake fell to the ground. The stupid vamp had her pinned to the ground. She quickly kicked him in the balls and grabbed the stake that was near her. She quickly thrust it in his chest. He exploded. The other five was not pleased. One tried to kick her but she quickly did a back flip and started working in a circle to dust the vamps. There was two left. She smiled at them as she did a roundhouse kick and thrust the stake in the third vamps chest.

The other vampire ran as he he seen the second vamp got dusted. Buffy frowned wondering why they always ran away. She sighed and quickly made her way to Giles knowing she needed to find Angel now. Spike had him and she had no reason to why Spike would want Angel.

************************************************************************

Cut to Spike's warehouse.

Spike walks in as his other two minions drag an unconscious Angel in. He stares up as he sees the cage the annotated one use to be in. He remembers that day clearly as he placed the boy in there and watched him burn in the sunlight. That was fun.

He makes his way to Drusilla, who is lying on the bed sick. "He wipes his hand across her face to wake her. "I have your cure." He smiled. Drusilla's face lights up. "My Angel."

Spike rolled his eyes annoyed. "Yes, your sire, my sweet."

Angel was slowly starting to wake up and noticed he wasn't in the graveyard anymore he was in some type of warehouse. Angel growled as he seen Spike and a very sick Dru.

He tried to break free from the rope that was tied around his hands. However, it was no use; it was like his strength was weakened. Whatever Spike shot him with must have been some type of tranquillizer. He tired to move again when he noticed the ring was gone. He panicked and looked at Spike.

"Great now all we need is the full moon, and you will be fully restored my love." Spike smiled as he sat by Dru. He stared back at Angel and smirked.

"Are you looking for this mate? Spike replied as he showed him his hand. He was wearing the ring of Amara.

Angel growled as Spike taunts him. "No need to get offensive sire…. I'm just holding on to it, just in case you don't survive the ritual."

"Ritual." he repeated curiously. He was really in a screwed up situation. He wished he took that dream of Buffy's serious because he had a bad feeling that something was going to happen. Other than that he wondered where Buffy at was. Was she in trouble? Was she ok? Oh his head was starting to hurt from all of this.

"Yes Ritual. Dru is sick and you're going to heal her." Dru leans over and kisses Spike as she looks over at Angel. "Spike, let me have him. Hmm? Until the moon."

Spike smiled. "Find you can play, but don't kill him. He mustn't die until the ritual."

Angel shivers knowing what the crazy girl was capable of. He wished at this point he never made her insane."

Spike picks Angel up from the floor and forces him over to Drusilla. She grabs him by the throat and looks him in the eye. "You've been a very bad daddy." She slaps him across the face.

Angel angrily glares at her knowing she would probably torture him. That's what she tried to do in the past, so he knew what he was up against. Hopefully, he could manage to get himself out of this before Buffy looks for him. He knew all too well that Buffy would save him if she knew where he was, but he couldn't let her do that. For all that he knew this could be a trap for her. He sighed and hoped that somehow he would manage to get out of here.....at least alive.

***********************************************************************

Buffy was still pacing as the gang worked and researched. She was in Giles's house trying to find out where Spike took Angel and why.

Giles looked up as he seen Buffy still pacing. "Buffy I think I found something."

Buffy quickly sat down. "What did you find out?"

"Well apparently awhile back Drusilla was cursed with some type of plaque making her sick and the only cure is the blood of her sire."

Buffy froze with fear as Willow noticed. "Buffy, what is it?"

Buffy looks down. "Angel. He's Drusilla's sire."

"Man, that guy got major neck in his day!" Xander said. Willow slaps him hard on the shoulder.

Buffy became more worried as she watched Giles read. "Will this ritual kill him?"

"Yes, I'm afraid it will." I made a call to the watchers' council, and they said they had some contacts that saw Spike. He was staying in a ware house.

"A warehouse but which one?" Buffy said.

"I don't know but we must work quickly. We have five hours before the clock strikes midnight."

Willow opens her laptop and then looks over at a worried Buffy. "Don't worry, Buffy, we'll save Angel."

"I hope so because I would be lost if anything happens to him." Buffy murmured sadly.

***************************************************************8

Spike walks in as he sees's Dru putting more holy water on his Angel's chest.

"It makes pretty colors." Dru smiled.

"Dru I think he's had enough besides I'll see him die soon enough...shortly."

Angel's smirks as he decides to taunt spike just for the hell of it. For some reason, it amused him. "Should let me talk to him Dru. Sounds like your boy could use some pointers. She likes to be teased." Angel smirked.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Spike hissed.

"Shhh! Grrrruff! Bad dog." Dru's points at Angel.

"Keep your hole shut Angelus or your death will be more painful."

"Take care of her, Spike. The way she touched me just now? I can tell when she's not satisfied."

Spike almost lost it. "I said SHUT UP!"

Angel laughed. "Or maybe you two just don't have the fire we had."

Spike grabs him by the throat and pulls a stake to Angel's chest.

"Spike, no!" Dru steps over to Spike and gently puts her arm on his shoulder and snuggles up to him.

"Oh! Right. Right, you almost got me! Aren't you a 'throw himself to the lions' sort of sap these days? Well, the lions are on to you, baby. See, if I kill you know you go quickly, and Dru hasn't got a chance. And if Dru dies, your little Fluffy of Sunny hell Farm and all her mates are spared her coming-out party."

Angel growls angrily as Dru smiles pushing his head to the pillow. "The moon is almost full, It's time." Dru smiles changing into her game face.

Angel struggles but can't kick her off as his feet are tied down. "You don't want to do this do you Dru?"

Spike smirks and kisses Dru on the cheek. "This is your cure, take it Dru, and you will be strong."

Dru smiles and before Angel knew it her fangs were in his neck. "NO."

***************************************************************************

A few moments later Spike was getting irritated. Dru was still drinking and he knew another five minutes Angel would burst into dust if she kept on. Actually, he was hoping for it and maybe Dru would forget about saving her arrogant sire.

He started to stand up when he heard two screams coming from the doorway. Spike was making his way to the door when it busted opened with a very pissed off Slayer walked in. Her eyes were blazing almost yellow and Spike smiled loving every minute of it.

"Well, hello Slayer, I think you're a little late." Spike smirked.

Dru quickly released her fangs from Angel leaving him fall unconscious on the bed. She quickly turned as she seen the slayer stand there. "Already here to spoiler my fun."

Buffy's eyes went wide as she seen Angel laying on the bed looking more dead then he normally looked. Her angered built up in her and she charged at Spike.

She kicks him in the face and then shoves him onto the floor punching him repeatedly. Drusilla quickly jumps on the slayer but Buffy throws her against the wall knocking her out.

Spike leans up and grabs her, flips her over and kicks her in the stomach. Buffy scrambles away and picks up a crate and throws it towards Spike. "Is that all you got slayer?"

"No, I got this." She quickly jumps and does a back flip landing behind him. She kicks him in the back of the knee hearing a snap making him collapse onto the floor. Spike hissed angrily as he sees her grab for the stake. He quickly rolls over and dodges the stake that was thrown at him. Buffy quickly runs towards him as she sees a beam, above. She quickly grabs it and swings it making him fly across the room as he lands into a bunch of crates besides Dru.

Buffy quickly takes this to her advantage and runs over to Angel, who was starting to be awake slowly.

"Buffy?"

"I'm here." She rubs his face with her hand and hugs him. I thought you were dead. She cried.

Angel smiles. "I told you I would never leave you. He said.

She kisses him breathily as she helps him out of the bed and stand up. "Do you think you can walk?"

"Ya, I think." Angel replied trying to think of what was last thing he remembered. Spike has the ring, oh no.

"Buffy the ring?" Angel said panicking. Buffy looked at his hand and then at Spike who was gradually waking up. "We can't, Spike is waking up. Come on"

Buffy helps him out of the room and towards the door where the gang is. Xander could you help while Giles drives.

Xander stared at her wondering why he had to help her with Angel. He rolled his eyes and didn't complain much because he knew where it would get him. He helps Angel in the van with Buffy's help.

Giles hands her a bag of pigs blood. Buffy takes it as she crawls over to the cot Angel was lying on. She quickly opens the bag and lifts Angel's head. "Here this should help you get your strength back." Buffy said.

Angel frowned as he seen Willow and Xander sitting on the other side staring at him. He shook his head at Buffy telling her he won't feed in front of humans.

Buffy rolled her eyes and stared at her friends. "Seems like he's a little shy feeding in front you two. Could you um"…..

Willow smiled as she took Xander's hand to move in front where Giles was. "Ah who ever knew a Vampire being shy?" Xander said. Willow jabbed him in the arm. "Ow"

Buffy pressed the bag against his mouth as he changed and sank his fangs in the bag. Buffy tried not to watch as she held him, but she couldn't help it. After what happened today she never wanted to leave his arms again.

***************************************************************************

Waking up I see that everything is OK

The first time in my life and now it's so great

Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed

I think about the little things that make life great

I wouldn't change a thing about it

This is the best feeling

Angel smiled as he finally awoke. He turned feeling a warm body laid next to him. She was lying beside him in his bed. She looked so peaceful, so beautiful. Her golden hair was down creating a halo effect on the pillow. Her black tank top showing every curve of her body making him want to pull her body forward and wrap his arms around her warm body. However, he didn't want to wake her. She was still asleep.

He gave her soft kiss on her cheek as he stood up fully strengthen. He barely even remembers making it to his house or how many bags of pig's blood he had. He just knew he was glad to be alive and back in Buffy's arms.

He quickly got a few things and set some stuff around in the room knowing she would like it. A few minutes later he went back to his bed as he laid down and pulled Buffy towards him.

Buffy's yawned as she felt Angel leaning against her back. He placed a gently kiss on her neck. Buffy smiled and turned around. "I miss you..... You're not hurt are you?"

"No, I'm fine."Angel tangled her hands with his and kissed it.

"Angel you had me so scared. I really thought you were dead when I found you." She said in a whisper as her tears began to fall.

"I will not leave you Buffy. I have loved you since the moment I seen you at Hemery School and when you staked your first vampire."

"You saw me then?" she asked surprised. "How I mean. You watched me and followed me, around since I was twelve." She laughed.

Angel looked up at her and was surprised that she laughed. He thought she would get mad and say he was stalking her. "For most of the time I've followed and protected you since then."

"Why didn't you tell me or introduced yourself earlier?" she asked softly.

Angel smiled. "I would have but you were only twelve, and I didn't want to take the chance of hanging around you then. I didn't want your parents or you to think I was some type pervert or something."

Buffy smirked. "ah ya I guess that would be kind to weird." She replied before kissing him on the cheek. "I'm glad we met when we did. Even know you were stalking me, it reminds me of when we first met"

Angel smirked as he remembered the day not so long ago.

"Ah, heh. Is there a problem, ma'am?"

"Yeah, there's a problem. Why are you following me?"

"I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I don't bite."

Angel laughed as the memories flashed before him. "Those were fun times"

Buffy smiled. "Yes those were but it doesn't mean we can have more times liked those." She replied kissing him on the lips. She deepens the kiss before she released him realizing how much she needed and wanted him. She felt like she was on fire that she needed his cold body to cool her body.

"Angel I"………..He stopped her and placed his finger on her mouth. "When you found out, I was a vampire, and you screamed. I thought I had lost you. I thought I would never see you again, or you would stake me. I never imagined we would be here. Be lovers……in each other's arms"

Buffy gently moved her hand across his cheek ",I still love you Angel even when you lied to me and when I found out you were a vampire. I couldn't imagine my life without you." Buffy was leaning forward to kiss him when suddenly noticed Angel's bedroom looked different, since she awoke.

It was filled with light. There were candles placed on the stands near the window. She looked over and found red rose petals placed on the bed. She looked up and smiled. "Angel did you do this?"

Angel smiled and kissed her hand. "Yes, I wanted to do something else for your well birthday. I know it's not been a good day for you, so I decided to make it better.

"It's tomorrow." She said. Angel cupped her hand and smiled. "Yes, but it's after midnight, so I guess you could say it's your birthday."

Buffy smiled. "I guess it is." She then looked back at the room that was filled with red candles. It was really romantic. "I really love what you done Angel." She smiled hugging him.

Angel cupped her face and stared at her. "I'll do anything for you Buffy. I'll even die for you."

Buffy leaned her head against his and looked up into his dark eyes. "I would do the same for you." She cupped his face and kissed him then.

He ran his hands up and down her back then moving up her arms. He couldn't help but want this. He could tell she was ready. Her arousal was increasing and it was sending him over the edge. He then started to nibble and kiss at her neck and then to her collarbone.

"Angel…..please……Make love to me." He released his mouth on her neck wondering if he heard right. She wanted him to make love to her. But he couldn't she didn't know what it met, that he could hurt her.

He looked back at her. "I know what you're thinking Angel. I trust you with my life. I know you won't hurt me. Please." Buffy said.

"Angel was about to say something when she pulled him in for a kiss again. "No talking….Just kiss me."

Angel as he moved his hands to her back. He then pulls the tank top over her head. He pulled her gently to the bed as he was now on top of her running his lips and tongue over her skin.

"God you feel so good." Buffy murmured.

Angel ran a kiss up her stomach until he reached the little black bra she wearied. "And you taste too good to pass up."

Buffy giggled as she smoothed her hand to his shirt. She quickly started to unbutton one by one. Angel smirked and kissed her on the lips. "No need to rush, we have all night, love"

Buffy smiled. "Yes, but I have school tomorrow but that doesn't mean I'll still be up."

"Really." He helped her with the last button as he tossed his shirt on the floor.

"I wouldn't miss this for the world." Buffy kissed him once again not knowing what really to do. She was too occupied as she stared at his perfect muscular chest. His sweats were hanging lower giving her a good look at his growing erection straining through his pants. Oh gosh she was getting hotter and hotter by the minute.

Angel chucked a little as he noticed what she was staring at. "Do you see something you like?"

Buffy looked up and blushed. "Maybe"….She teased. She was kind of nervous about doing this since it was her first time. However, she knew he would never hurt her but there were times that her stupid nightmares would make her think otherwise. Nevertheless, she cleared her head not thinking about anymore.

Angel smiled and laid her down while he unsnapped the flimsy bra to the side. He watched as she tried to cross her arms embarrassed. "There is no reason to be embarrassed love. Every inch of you is beautiful. Angel smiled and kissed her. She accepted the kiss and plunged her tongue in his mouth. The kiss was deep, passionate and lustful. She had that tingering feeling in the pit of her stomach that was telling she she wanted more, needed to fill more of him until she couldn't take any more. A few minutes later she had to pull back to catch her breath. "That was"…….

Angel smiled. "Breathtaking"......

Angel moved his hands up her stomach until he reached her small breast. he leaned lower and placed gentle kisses across her breast and then moved lower as he sucked her left nipple into his mouth. He licked and sucked as Buffy grabbed his head forcing his mouth to her chest.

"Oh.......Angel"... Buffy was panting now, and she had a hard time not to scream out his name in pleasure. It was the most perfect sensational experience she ever had in her life.

Angel released his mouth as he looked down at her. Her eyes were closed and she looked like the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. He smiled as she opened her eyes. He gently ran his hand up her thigh gently stroking her inner thigh. He then gently pulled the sweats she wearied as he seen Buffy staring nervously at him.

Angel cupped her face and lay on his side. "You don't have to worry Buffy, I won't hurt you."

Buffy nodded as he gently removed the pants and the panties she wearied. Embarrassed she gently closed her legs but Angel stopped her.

"Buffy, you're beautiful. You don't need to hide from me, and you smell good." He gently smoothed his hand to her thigh. He gently stroked higher until he reached his goal.

"Oh Angel, please." she gasped, not even sure what she was asking for. All that she knew she wanted more. Her pleasure intensified as she felt something warm against her slit. Her eyes widened as she almost bunked off the bed.

"Angel!" she cried out.

He slid his hands down lifting her leg as he plunged his tongue deeper in her. "Oh, God," she shrieked a little embarrased that he was going down on her. It was to intensity to even describe what she felt like. She screamed as her body shook with pleasure. a few minutes later she panted again as her body exploded with pleasure.

Angel smiled down at her as she was still panting from the experience he just had. It was making him very hard not to take her now. She was the most beautiful thing he ever did seen.

She opened her eyes slowly as she seen him looking down at her. He gave her a smile as he plunged his finger in her again. "Oh." Buffy cried out as another pleasure rolled over her. Angel kissed her intensely. "I love you, Buffy."

Buffy opened her eyes as she looked up at him. She looked down as she noticed his pants were gone now. He was covered slightly up giving her a view of his well-built body. She breathed deeply as she watched Angel crawl toward her slender form. She noticed now his full erection in view, and she wandered for a moment, how he was going to fit in her because he was slightly big and it kind of made her nervous to look at it.

Angel senses the nervousness as he grabbed her body and rolled her over so she was lying on top. Buffy stared down at him as she felt his erection hitting her thigh. She blushed again. "You have no reason to be nervous Buffy. He gently took her hand and placed it on his erection.

Buffy smirked wondering why she didn't read up on this earlier. Well, it's not like she needed a book to tell her what to do, but still she was a little confused. She gently ran her hand over his erection, and then wraps her hand around it gently.

He almost came right then, but he held back. "Ohhhh. Buffy." He looked up to pull Buffy forward. She gently crawled up to him and lay on his cold chest. Her breast was pressed against his and realized why Darla named him Angel. He had face of an Angel. He was the most beautiful thing she has ever seen.

"It's all right." He slowly kissed her deeply, stroking her back, then her breast. Buffy kissed him back as she felt his mouth on her chest. "Angel please"……

"Buffy are you sure?"

She moaned as she looked at him. "Yes, please!"

He gently rolled her over and pressed against her entranced. He slowly slid along the gap, teasing her. He gently teased her moving in and out until she was squirming against him. "This may hurt a little."

Buffy looked up at him and locked her legs around his waist. "I need you Angel. Need to feel every inch of you?"

Angel reassured her with a kiss as he pressed inside halfway then in. He kissed her as he did the same thing, and then he pushed deeper in. Oh god this was driving him nuts. She was so tight and small. He felt like he was burning up, and that he needed more.

He looked into her eyes as he kept his pace slow and steady. He watched as her eyes closed and her body stirred with pleasure. He pushed forward a little faller as he gently kissed her and leaned on her shoulder. It was starting to get harder now because he needed that one thing to send him over the edge. Blood. He looked at Buffy and gently caressed her cheek.

"Ah Buffy……I need"….

Buffy opened her eyes and stared up at him. "Need……oh.... what?"

"I…need blood……yours………but I can't…it's…. just."

Buffy caressed his face and bared her neck to him. "I trust you."

Angel looked down and was surprised. "Buffy I don't' want to hurt you."

Buffy pushed him forward and kissed. "I want you, need to feel you"…..

Angel stared at her once more as he pushed all the way in breaking her hymen. He watched as her face contort with pain at first then pleasure. he kept his movements slow until he felt her legs pulling his waist forward.

"Oh....god....Angel....please"

Angel pressed his head towards her neck as his face changed. She bared her neck to him and placed her hand on his neck. His fangs slide in her neck gently.

She cried out at the pleasure and pain. She could feel everything in her being sparked. It made her came hard as he bit her. "Angel?" she cried out.

He released his fangs as he kept a steady pace as he thrust harder and deeper in her. She thrust with him wrapping her legs around his waist and pulling him pushed in one last time before he came pouring in her. They both screamed as the pleasure filled them. Angel fell on her body as her heart was beating against his. He smiled wishing she could fill his, that would of been the perfect wish.

He rolled over as he pulled out and kissed her gently. "Baby did I hurt you?"

Buffy was still panting from the mind blowing orgasm she had. She looked up to see Angel staring at her worried. "I'm fine lover." She kissed him.

"That was the best feeling. I don't think I could ever get enough of you." she replied sleepy.

Angel smiled and kissed her on the cheek then he wrapped the blanket around their nude bodies. He pulls her closer until she was laying on him. Her head on his shoulder while one leg wrapped around his leg.

"I love you, Buffy," he wraps his arms around her as she was already asleep in his arms.

He smiled in true bliss that he was finally happy. For the first time in his life, he was glad he had made the decision to help her long ago. If he hadn't met her then he would have never of felt loved. Never of felt this total bliss in his heart that told him that she was the one that he would spend eternally with.

He just wished that eternally would be now and that forever with her in perfect happiness for ever would be now. However, he knew life wasn't that easy. If it was this easy he would have the world in perfect peace. No vampires, no demons. Just him and her being normal being human and staying in each other's arms forever.

That was his wish that he knew he would never get.

*********************************************************************

I can see inside you, the sickness is rising

Don't try to deny what you feel

Will you give in to me?

It seems that all that was good has died

And is decaying in me

A couple of hours later Angel awoke. His heart racing, his body trembling. He never felt anything like this before, but he knew if felt familiar. He couldn't place it. It was like something was ripping out his……..heart, his chest, his………..soul. Oh god no, he whispered as he fell on the floor and grabbed his pants.

He could hear his demon taunting him in his head. "Don't try to deny what you're feeling, soul boy. There is no turning back now. You've woken up the demon, and I will come out and play."

Angel quickly grabbed his pants and clothing and ran outside. He didn't understand how this could have happened. The only thing he knew he had to get away from Buffy. Anywhere far away before his demon took over. He knew what it would cost him and in the end it would cost him so much more if anything happened to her.

He was in love with her so much that if he had a stake right now he would probably finish the job and stake himself to safe her. Because no matter how much he loved her, he knew he could never put her threw the things his demon was thinking. He would kill her or worse. Furthermore the worst part of it was he didn't know if Buffy could actually face the fact, she would have to kill the man she loved to destroy the demon.

He was outside in the rain now trying to get away when he suddenly fell on his knees and screamed into the sky. That was the last thing, he seen before his eyes darkened as he fell on the concrete ground.

To be continued...

"This chapter took me awhile to write. I think this one I tried to put my best into because it was such a good episode. (Well except for the end when he turns) But the next chapter I will give you a hint of what will happen. I'll just say it's unexpected and Angel is not the only one that loses something.

I hope everyone likes this chapter as much as I do.
