"I'll always want you; I'll always need you,
I'll always love you and I will always miss you
Buffy opens her eyes as she notices she's not in the library anymore which was odd. The last thing she remembers is Angelus holding her friends hostage while he tried to turn her again. And then unexpectedly another slayer comes in and saves the day. After that everything is a blur from the moment Kendra attacked Angelus.
She looks around noticing she was outside standing beside a lake. Then she looks down to see a blanket and notices four red roses lying in the center of the blanket. There was a bottle of champagne and two glasses beside the roses. She then steps closer to see something glistering in the sun beside the glasses. She bends down as she sees a ring. It's the same ring Angel has and the one he gave her. She picked one ring up and looked at it. Inside had a scripture, it said. "Angel's loves Buffy forever "
She smiles almost starting to tear up when she hears footsteps approaching. She starts to turn until she hears a familiar voice.
"Buffy." Her heart almost comes out of her chest at the composure of the voice, and she wanders for a moment if it is really him. Is it really her lovable, beautiful Angel or was it the evil, spiteful, dangerous Angelus?
She doesn't move when he sits next to her, she just closes her eyes and prays for him to leave. She already has too many emotions boggled up in her and having him near her wasn't helping. Because she knows eventually if he keeps provoking her and acting like her Angel that she will just eventually give in but she didn't want that. She was trying her hardest but there were times she doesn't even know if she can still keep on doing this. Every time she sees his face it just brings back memories. She wished it was back to the way when they first met. But she knows it will never be the same like that again.
Buffy suddenly tenses as she feels his hand cup her right hand. Her body froze as his other hand cups her chin and moves it, so they are staring at each other.
Her eyes open and was startled by the sight in front of her. She really couldn't believe what she was seeing. Angel was sitting in front of her with the sun shining down on him. He wasn't wearing the ring of Amara. He only had the claddagh ring on. He was wearing a pair of white sweat pants and a white button down shirt. Her mind suddenly wondered if he was human. Was this really actually happening to her? Where her deepest dreams coming true?
She blinked a couple of times to make sure this was real as she looked at him again. His skin was perfection almost glowing as she stared at him. His hands were warm cupping hers, and he had the warmest brown eyes she has ever seen. They were filled with love. It reminded her of that perfect night they shared together.
"A..Angel….is it really you?" she asked hoping praying that this wasn't some type of trick.
Angel smiles as he gently kissed her on the forehead. "It's me….I'm so sorry." He leans his face against hers. "It's my fault for what happened."
Buffy stares at him and cups his face. She then looked at him sternly at what he just said. "Angel….This is not your fault. If I just stayed away then… maybe." He stopped her as he caressed her cheek.
"Buffy it is my fault and always where be. I'm the one that is a demon and the one that killed hundreds of people in my time. It is no way your fault."
"Then if it's not my fault then why am I here. Why are you here? Are we dead, are we"……?
Angel stopped her and took her hand and kissed it. "No you're not dead." he replied.
Buffy looked up at him and placed her hand on his. She then wondered if he was gone or…. No, she shook her head not able to think about that. To think that if he was actually gone as in dead.
Angel smirked knowing what she was thinking. He cupped her chin and stared at her. "I'm not dead Buffy, I'm just trapped and ………forced to stay here until I'm able or if possible to get back my body."
Buffy looked at him strangely. "Your body back?"
"Ah yes." As you know the demon has taken over my body and my soul stays here until……whenever."
"But your human aren't you." She replied placing her hand on his chest again.
Angel smiled and placed her hand over hers. "Yes, I guess that is one good thing about it, but I would rather be a vampire and back down on earth with you."
Buffy stared at him in surprise. "But you can live freely here right?" She asked.
"Yes but it doesn't matter."
"Buffy stared at him and frowned. "How can you say that you're not happy, you're human …you can"… She was suddenly stopped as she found his lips on hers. He wraps his arms around her waist and thrust his tongue in her mouth swiveling it around and kissing her breathlessly until she needed to breathe. She almost forgot how this felt to be in his arms again. How it made her get that tingeing feeling in the pit of her stomach and how it filed her with lust. It made her want to stay with him like this forever.
"God I missed you." Angel released his lips from hers, and she stared at him trying to catch her breath. "I guess we both miss each other breathlessly," she joked.
Angel grinned and gently picked up the ring on the blanket and placed it on her finger. " I can run freely roam here but that doesn't mean I'm not happy Buffy. I would do anything to be back in your arms." He smiled when he seen her smile a little. He took her hand and gave her his ring that was lying on the blanket.
"Please keep this with you at all times. It just lets me know if...you're ok."
Buffy held her hand out as she took the cross. She then looked up and noticed a small tear went down his face as he looked past her. "Angel what is it?"
Buffy looked back to see the place was getting dimmer and whiter as she suddenly realized that none of this was real. This was just a dream. She wanted to cry right then and to wonder why life was being so unfair to her.
"Angel, please tell me this is real and that everything else was just a bad dream." She replied still cupping his hand. "I don't want to leave you."
Angel pulls her closer and hugs her. "I'm sorry Buffy….This is a dream but it is real. It was the only way I could see you. I'm sorry this happened, and you have to know that whatever happens, I'll always be with you." He said gently kissing her on the lips.
Buffy stared at him and realized what he was saying. "No." she shook her head holding the tears in. "You can't say this to me. "I love you"….
Angel cupped her chin and stared at her. "If you don't destroy me, it's going to get harder Buffy, and it's just going to get worse if you don't do this."
Buffy pushed him away and stood up as he did too. "How can you tell me to destroy you? I love you and I know that someday we might have this. That we might have a chance of having a life together" She cried. "I can't do it."
Angel stared into her eyes as the tears fell down her cheek. He closed his eyes for a moment wishing he could make it all go away, but he couldn't. He looked at her again as she stared at him hard. He pulled her forward as he and Buffy sunk to their knees in each other arms.
"I can't kill you." She cried. "My powers are gone any ways, what chance do I have?"
He frowns at her words but pulls her against him tighter. "Your powers will come back love, just remember you are still a slayer, and you always will be. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." He kissed her on the lips and gave her a small smile.
She stares at him one last time before she notice he starts to fade away. "Are you still my girl?" He asked.
Buffy smiles and tangles her hand with his. "Always."
******************************************************************
"Angel…. Don't leave."
"Gosh, I hope she's not having another naughty dream." Xander joked. Willow slapped him as she and everyone else hovered over Buffy. She was lying down on one of the beds in Giles's guest rooms.
Buffy suddenly awoke as she sat up noticing everyone staring at her. Willow smiled and hugged her. "Oh we were so worried, are you ok?" She released her arms from hers.
"Ya we were very worried about you." Xander said.
Buffy gave a small smile as she wiped the tear that was falling from her eyes. She couldn't believe what just happened. She was with Angel. Her angel and now he was gone…again. She wanted to run away and just crawl in a corner somewhere. She looked up to see Willow staring at her worried. "What's wrong Buffy?"
"Ah nothing." Buffy quickly hid the sad look and replaced it with a smile. She opened her hand to find the ring Angel gave her still in her hand. She smiled then as she suddenly felt a major headache come on.
"Ow, did someone hit me with a brick or something?" she said holding her head.
"Ah well when you tried to fight Angelus Spike got in the way and tossed you near the wall. While Kendra was fighting the vamps, Jenny awoke and did a protection spell for us. Then she helped untied us." Willow said.
"Wow she's becoming the hero now." Buffy said sadly and felt somewhat out of place now.
"Ya but it was kind of Funny when all tall and dark Punched Spike. He seemed to be very overprotective of you still."Xander said annoyed.
Buffy rolled her eyes knowing that fact. Willow noticed the look. "I know that look Buffy. You're still Buffy the one who helps us and slays demons. Maybe not as much but your still the Hero, don't let anybody tell you otherwise."
"Ya your Bufster the warrior. That is the protector of us all." Xander said.
Buffy smiled. "'I've been hearing that a lot lately. Thanks"
Willow, Xander and Buffy stared towards the door as it opened. She watched as Giles and some other guy she has never seen before walk into the room.
"Who are you?" Buffy asked staring at the older man that looked like he was in his late thirties.
The man just frowned at her and stared at Giles. Giles stared at Buffy wondering why of all times they had to send someone from the watchers' council now. He really didn't care about that, but he despised the man. He had met him once a long time ago when he was in a meeting with the head leader of the watcher's council. The man was an arrogant, chauvinist bastard. Knowing that thought he had a bad feeling it was only going to get worse especially with Buffy's temper.
"Ah this is Cain; he's from the watcher's council. He's just here to observe." Giles frowned.
"Oh….what happened to Angelus and the others?" Buffy glanced away from the man and stood up from the bed. She looked up as she noticed the man named Cain was speaking to her.
"The demon is still alive, no thanks to your hormones." Cain replied moving away and into the living room.
Giles wasn't surprised and was quite pissed that he said that to Buffy. He looked over to see Buffy's face turn red, and he knew if he didn't do something soon he would be fired or worse. "Excuse me you take that back?" Giles demanded.
The man turned back and stared at the watcher. "I don't have to take anything back watcher. I'm here on business and it seems to me like you're not doing your job well. She was a slayer and was supposed to keep everything in secrecy not to sleep with the most dangerous vampire ever." He replied.
Giles was about to set him straight when he seen Buffy step forward. Buffy's mouth was agape and stared at the man in disgust. "Who the hell are you to come here and talk about my personal life, repulsive brain?" She sneered.
"I'm from the watcher's council, young lady. Now if you just did your job and kept your pants up then maybe"… the next thing he knew he had a fist to his face and a shoe to his crouch making him fall his knees.
"Ow you could have told me your face was made of brick." Buffy said holding her hand. Giles quickly pulled Buffy away hoping she didn't hurt the man to much. However, it did seem like he was having a hard time to stand up. Oh well it did suit him well for what he said about Buffy.
Xander just stared at him in anger and smirked that Buffy can still kick ass with no powers. "Well that serves you right you big chauvinist pig."
Willow just stared in awe at what just happen. Buffy released herself from Giles and moved away from the man named Cain. She glared daggers at him.
Cain stood up highly pissed. "Just wait missy until the council hears about this. Your be banned and locked up from your behavior. He then looked at Giles. "And you will be banned and fired by the time I'm done here."
Buffy watched him leave and crossed her arms. "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out." She cursed.
After he left Xander just stared at Buffy still in shock. "Wow Buffy you can still kick ass without being a slayer. That was cool."
Buffy smiled wishing everything was normal. Nothing would ever be normal again. She then looked at Giles. "How did he find out about Angel and me?" Buffy asked.
"I don't know, all I know he said he's here to evaluate you, and I think he overheard what Angelus said. He seems to snooping probably. Or had people watching, I don't know."
"Great." She murmured.
Willow patted her on the back. "Don't worry Buffy it's not like he's going to send you off to some place." She joked. She looked at Giles as he just stared at her and then looked away.
"Giles." Willow called. "That's not going to happen is it?"
Giles glanced into the room as Cain was on the phone. He then turned back and stared at her. "Uh…sorry…what were you saying?"
Buffy got suspicious and peeked between the doors to see what Cain was doing. He looked like he was on the phone with someone. Buffy turned back and looked at Giles. "He's on the phone probably with the watchers council's. He can't do that can he? He can't send me away." Buffy replied starting to panic.
"Ah I don't know. There's been…you know rumors of things happen but never written in the watchers' dairies. Giles spoke. "But I would never let that happen Buffy."
Buffy just frowned. "Great, too bad he's not a demon."
"Oh I have a suggestion." Xander smirked. "How about sending him on a little trip at night to the graveyard. I'm sure some evil vamps would find him." Xander laughed joking but he noticed no one was laughing. "Oh come on you can't say that's not a good idea. "
"That's harsh" Willow said.
"Um well it would be if he wasn't human but unfortunately…we can't send him to be killed." Giles said.
Buffy frowned. "Too bad I really wanted to kick and hit him some more."
"Is it just me or have you guys… lost it." Willow said.
Xander smirked and wrapped his arms around her neck. "Come one Wills you have to join in and join the crowd of Funnies. Willow only glared at him and smiled at the funny face he was making. It makes her realize why she liked him. He was always there to cheer her up.
Willow smirked and stared back at Xander. "Whatever you say bug boy."
"Bug boy." Xander replied
"Wow you made a funny wills." Buffy replied laughing as she remembered the time Xander had a crush on a teacher that turned out to be a big bug.
" Ha ha very funny" Xander said. Willow smirked knowing she couldn't help herself. She just couldn't help but tease him.
******************************************************************
Angelus came down the steps as he was finally satisfied with the new look of the mansion. He had his bedroom wall and floor covered in a deep red. His bed was covered in Blood red satin sheets as the closet was filled with leather pants and several of shirts.
Angelus grinned as he seen Spike lying on the couch as Dru was nursing his wounds or more like licking them clean. "Are you better my Spike?" Dru asked.
Spike leaned up and gave a low growl as he seen Angelus walking down the steps. He was pissed to say the least knowing this was his fault. That damn slayer nearly staked him when Angelus tossed him to the wall. The stake missed his heart by an inch. He would surely kill that twit if ever found her again. "Ya Things would be better if Angelus would get fluffy out of his head."
Angelus growled and stalked towards him. "Her name is not fluffy. Are you trying to make me angry boy?"
Spike laughed at him wondering just for a moment if he even knew he was in love with the slayer. He could see it in his eyes.
"What's so damn funny Spike."
"You. You're denying that you're in love with the slayer." Spike grinned as he stared at Angelus face. It was priceless. Angelus grabbed him by the throat and tossed him to the floor. "I do not love her idiot. I don't feel love, it's just an infatuation. Besides ....what do you know about love, boy?"
"Well, besides I've been loves bitch for awhile now." He stared at Dru and smirked. Dru just giggled. "And the fact I see you have the same emotions every time I see Dru. You know like jealousy, which is a big one for you and the fact every time you see the slayer you give her that puppy dog look. Most of the time it makes me want to barf" Spike grinned as he was suddenly on his back staring at his very pissed off Sire.
"Spike if you say anything like that again. I'll cut off you're"….
"I get the point…now would you get the bloody hell off of me your big pouf." Spike sneered. "Since you can't take a hint."
Angelus growled and smacked him on the head before he pulled himself off Spike.
"Would you stop calling me boy and smacking me in the head you big"
"If you say something else I'll make you regret it boy." Angelus sneers until he sees Dru started holding her hand mumbling. "No ...no the gypsy and the slayer will ruin everything." Dru mumbled.
Spike stood up and stared at Dru as he made his way over to her. "Do you see something Dru, what is it?" Dru looked backed up and tensed as she looked up at Angelus.
"The slayer will be broken……..gone forever just like a lost Angel, and you will be there to fix the pieces." She giggled.
"What do you mean Dru?" Angelus asked curiously.
"That someone is here to take the slayer away……….. Forever." Dru spoke. Spike sat up and sneered at Angelus. "You know I think that is the greatest vision you had pet."
Angelus growled at Spikes comment. He was about to slap him when he suddenly turned to see one of his newest chides walks in. "Thomas did you find out anything." Angelus replied
"I found out the slayer is at the watcher's house, and there is some guy there from the watcher's council."
"The council." Angelus asked confused.
"Oh you mean the watcher's Council. Oh I remember having fun with those people back in the day." Spike grinned as he walked over to Angelus. "I remember the time when me and Dru turned a slayer and watched as she ripped apart her watcher. Those were good days."
Angelus rolled his eyes annoyed, for some reason. "Do you know what he wants?" Angelus asked.
"Ah he seems to know about the slayer…loss of powers, and he plans to take her to the watcher's council." Thomas said.
"WHAT" Angelus growled?
"Wow, that's even a better plan then I could come up with." Spike sneered.
Angelus growled and grabbed Thomas by the collar of his shirt. "Tell me everything you know and what the man looks like? I want that man dead before he makes his next move."
**********************************************************************
After a long and detailed meeting with Giles, the Scooby gang and the new two members Buffy decided to leave and go back in the guest room. She couldn't stand being in the room with that ignoring prick named Cain. When they left the room Cain had some more things to say and before her anger could get to her once more Giles, her watcher punched him square in the face knocking him out cold. She couldn't believe he had even the nerves to do that. This makes her wonder when Giles got the nerve to stand up and defend his self.
Buffy sat down on the couch in Giles's guest room as she seen Willow walk towards her. She smiled briefly at her friend and got back to her brooding about the fact that she wasn't the slayer anymore. She would be fine to know she is normal now but for some reason she didn't feel that way. She felt like she lost a part of herself and that something was missing from her life. She sighed hating how this made this felt. She just wished things were normal and there were no such things as demons. Then maybe she and Angel would have been happy together. She stared up to see Willow waving at her.
"Uh hi Buffy." Willow smiled and sat down beside her. "Are you ok?"
Buffy smirked sadly and looked at her best friend. "No, not really. I think I made the worst mistake of my life Wills?" she grumbled.
"What do you mean?" Willow asked.
"I'm the one that made him lose his soul? If I just stayed away then maybe none of this would happen. He's probably out killing and I can't do anything about it. And besides the watchers' council probably wants to lock me up and throw away the key for what I did. How worse can things get Wills?"
Willow frowns and stared at her friend who was sad. She wished she could make it better for her. "Buffy it's not your fault. I would treasure the moment you had with Angel. I mean it was perfect right?"
""Yes, it was….Perfect. More than I thought it would be." Buffy said.
"Oh and I wouldn't worry about the council too much. Giles said he can handle it."
"Ya, I guess he can handle himself huh. I was surprised when Giles punched him and tied him to a chair. It makes me wonder about him sometimes." Buffy spoke.
Willow laughed. "Well it was kind of funny. Well, if it helps, I read the book Ms. Calendar gave you, and I think I can help." Willow said holding the spell book. "I've been practicing...see." she held up a pencil as it started floating in the air.
Buffy smiled. "Wow that's cool Wills."
"Ms. Calendar doesn't know but maybe I can help her with the spell to restore Angel's soul. Oh and Ms. Calendar and Giles are researching about the oracles for you, maybe they will find something."
"How about the She Giles, Kendra. Is she still here?" Buffy asked smirking at the nick name.
Willow laughed. "Oh ya she left for patrol. Maybe she will find Spike and Angel's hideout." Willow replied.
Buffy could only smile when she heard that but in her thoughts. She was hoping this new slayer would not find Angel. She knew he was safe with the ring but still it made her feel uneasy about him getting hurt. She knew he was evil, but she didn't care. She wanted him alive because she knew there was still a chance they might give his soul back to him. She just hoped it was soon.
***********************************************************************
The next morning Buffy, Willow and Xander were in the gym class. And unfortunately the teacher pared them up and to her luck, she got the ignoring jock named Larry. They were doing self-defense moves. Buffy rolled her eyes as she suddenly had that fingering feeling in the pit of her stomach. She looked around her not noticing anyone. Her heart calmed until she felt Larry's arm wrap around her neck. Buffy sneers as she grabs Larry's arm and tries to flip him over. She sighed as she felt frustrated and humiliated. She was always the strong one, and now she felt like the weak link in the bunch.
Larry snickers as he presses his leg against her thigh. "Oh, summers, you are turning me on."
Buffy rolls her eyes until she feels his hand on her butt cheek. Buffy's face turns red then and immediately flips him around and kicks him in the balls hard. He falls hard onto the mat in front of everyone. Larry groans in pain. Willow shoots Buffy a look as she and Xander stand back up. The coach looks at Buffy and notices Larry needs medical attention. "Ms Summers there was no need for that. You are to go to the principal office this minute young lady."
"Buffy crossed her arms and was about to state her offence when the gym teacher pointed to door. Buffy gave a frown as Willow and Xander gave her a shocked look. She left making her way to the stupid principal's office and she knew it was only going to worse knowing Mr. Snyder didn't like her at all and would give anything to expel her.
She made her way past the hall and to the principal's office when she had that tingeing feeling in the pit of her stomach again. She once again looked around but didn't see anything. She opened the door to see Principal Snyder sitting in his chair and was staring at his desk. His face was pale like he just seen a ghost or something.
Buffy stepped forward before deciding to ditch. "Um…Mr. Snyder."
Mr. Snyder looked at her and then at the window that was open slight scared of what happened earlier. He stared back at the delinquent girl in front of him. He wanted no more then to expel her at this moment, but if he did then it would surely be the death of him. He didn't know what it was he just knew the creature that was here no more than a couple of minutes ago would hurt him if he expelled the girl. He sighed frustrated and stared at the girl.
"Ah you can go back to class Ms. Summers. There is no need to come back here for me to hear your case. Larry has some problems with not keeping his hands to himself. I will take care of it, now run along."
Buffy stared at him in shock and wondered if someone took over his body. He usually would call her a delinquent and a trouble maker. "Ah ok….great…..bye." She left with a smile on her face.
Mr. Snyder cursed under his breath and stared at the window that had a folded piece of paper lying on the window seal. He then opened it and cursed again at the threaten note.
"I'm glad you saw things my way. If you hadn't then I would have to send this little information I found out about you working with the mafia to the police. Oh and if I ever seen you again I might just have to drain you die.
Mr. Snyder crumbled up the paper and throws it in the waist basket. He was pissed the say the least, but he valued his life more. He could not care less about Ms. Summers and for what she did. He was just glad he was alive.
**********************************************************************
Giles was making his way to his office when he suddenly heard Jenny scream. Giles ran back into the library to see Spike strangling Jenny.
Giles panicked and grabbed the crossbow on the desk. He fired it but Spike grabbed the arrow before it hit his chest. You're going to regret that watcher. Spike then dropped Jenny as she fell unconscious to the floor.
Giles grabbed the nearest cross and held it. "Back away demon."
Spike just smirked and noticed the book that he was after. He gave Giles a quick smirk before he jumped over and grabbed him by the neck.
**********************************************************************
Buffy Shut the door and smiled as she ran into her friends. "Willow Xander you won't believe what happened?"
"Wow your smiling. Did Mr. Snyder give you a cookie?" Xander joked.
Buffy rolled her eyes once more at his amusement. "No….Mr. Snyder he just let me off the hook. It was like someone else taken over his body, and he said he was going to have a little chat with Larry. Can you believe it? Maybe my luck changed"
"Wow, that's great Buffy even know that is kind of unusual for him." Willow said.
"Maybe he has seen the light." Xander joked.
"So what happen to that watchers guy named Cain?" Buffy asked.
"Oh he left since Giles kicked him out." Willow said.
"Ya, Giles is becoming the boss man." Xander said.
Buffy smirked. "Good, I'm glad I don't have to see him again or hopefully not too soon."
******************************************************************************
Spike smiled as he made his way out of the library with the book. He was tempted to kill that gypsy but Angelus said he wanted that pleasure. And the other fact he didn't want to piss off his sire, he already knows what would happen if disobeyed him but that didn't mean he could tease him.
Spike made his way faller into the sewers when he ran into someone. He almost fell when someone grabbed his arm and pulled him up with a smirk. He knew that laugh that irritated him so much. There were times he still wanted to kill him for all the times he ruined his and Dru life. "Bloody hell. What are you doing here?" Spike asked his sire.
Angelus snickered and helped him up. "I had something's to take care of. Did you get the book?"
Spike rolled his eyes and handed him the book. "Of course, do you think I would get stake by dear old watcher?"
Angelus smirked and took the lighter from his pocket and flicked it on. "I don't' know Spike, sometimes you're a hard person to teach."
"What the bloody hell does that mean?" Spike asked offended.
"It means most of the time you don't listen or do as you ask." Angelus replied as he seen that glare in his chides eyes. It makes him laugh when he gets irritated and the more to provoke him more.
Spike glared at him annoyed as he watched Angelus drop the book and toss the flickering match on the book. It burned brightly. Angelus then smiled. "Now we don't have to worry about that gypsy bring the soul back."
Spike holds back the snicker as he looked back up at Angelus. "Are you heading back to the mansion?"
"Now I have a few things to take care, well people to kill actually." He smirked.
"Well then I'll be at the mansion." He replied leaving Angelus. His mind then wandered would it be better to have the soul pouf back. He hated taking orders from Angelus and the more he thought about it. He wondered if it wouldn't be a bad idea to help the scoobies get Angelus soul back. He snickered at the thought wondering how hard it would be to set up this little surprise for Angelus. After all he rather be the only master of the Hellmouth, then there would be no stopping him.
********************************************************************
Buffy and her two friends walk back into library. She walks further in when she sees' Ms. Calendar and Giles on the floor. "Oh my god Giles." Buffy ran towards him as Willow and Xander knelt by Ms. Calendar.
Buffy shook Giles as his eyes opened. "Giles are you ok? What happened?"
Giles rubbed his head and stared at Buffy. "Spike he came and……..took the book. I tried to stop him"
"The book you mean….But how did they know about it?"
"I don't know…….I'm sorry." Giles said knowing that was probably the only hope to get Angel's soul back. Buffy stared at him sadly. "No its ok…..as long as you're ok."
Giles then looked at Jenny lying on floor. He quickly sat up and went to her. "I think she's starting to come too. Willow said.
Jenny awoke with a pounding headache as she noticed Giles and his three students staring at her. "Oh my….Giles are you ok?" She asked
"I'm fine. Are you ok?" Giles asked.
"Ya just a major headache. Some aspirin should help." Jenny said.
Xander and Willow stared at them and smiled. "So I guess it's only fair to say we are highly screwed into Angel being good again." Xander said. He then looked over and seen Buffy frowned. "Oh sorry Buffy."
Buffy once again ignored his mocking as she hid her emotions in not thinking about what happened. "What do we do now?" Buffy asked. "Is there any chance…….at all"
Jenny stared at Buffy and gave her a sad smile feeling somewhat responsible for what happened. Giles stared at Buffy and the others. "We have one more chance. We can research and try to contact the Oracles." Giles said. "It will be alright Buffy, "I promise.
Buffy could only glance at Giles before her mind began to wonder on how this would end. Would it end with her finding a way to restore Angel's soul or would it end with her dying- in her lovers arm? Either way she knew this wouldn't end well.
*******************************************************************
During that night Angelus makes his nightly roam around the cemetery for some food. He sees' in the fall distance as the slayer slays a newly risen vampire. He smiled and decided to follow her. She was striking young girl, but she was no Buffy. She didn't have that blonde hair that he liked to wrap his hand in or those pouty lips that he loved to lick. Or that tight…..
He suddenly stopped day dreaming when he suddenly felt the slayer near him. They were in front of Buffy's' house. Damn it, he thought. He quickly started walking towards that tingeing feeling in his stomach when he heard something jumped behind him. He quickly turned to grab the stake out of the slayers hand and broke it. "Well what do we have here? A slayer wishing for a death wish?" Angelus grinned.
Kendra stared at the monster before her and took out another stake that was in her pocket. "de the only thing that's having a death wish is you vampire."
Angelus snickered and stared at her. "Take a good shot and see what happens slayer." Angelus said.
Kendra sneered and went for the attack. Angelus was faster and quickly blocked her blows and punched her knocking her on the ground. He then quickly went to kick her when he heard a gun go off. He quickly jumped and changed into his demon ripping the bullet out that glanced his arm. He then growled at the man with the gun.
"I thought you would be more than cunning than that Angelus. Have you gotten soft?" Cain said.
Angelus sneered and then remembered what one of his minions told him. He was the man that was trying to send Buffy away.
"I am determining to show you how much that is not true." Angelus sneered as he Seen the slayer coming towards him again. This time he back handed her sending her on the ground again. He then turned to be shot once again. The bullet hit his shoulder blade this time. He hissed and turned to face the man. "Try it again old man."
Cain quickly turns and runs the opposite direction to run. Angelus quickly grabs him by his throat. "Nothing like scared dinner for a late night snack. He then laughs as he suddenly hears the door open to see Buffy coming out. Her mouth opens and her eyes widen as she suddenly sees' Kendra running towards Angelus with the stake.
"Noooo." Buffy screams as she makes a run for it, but she was too late. She stairs in horror as the stake protrudes from his chest.
Angelus sneers and stares at Buffy's face. It was priceless and he knew right then she still loved him, even if he was evil. He then notices Kendra and Cain stare at him in shock.
"Ya supposed to burst into ash? How did you" Kendra stared at him mystified.
Cain sneers and see's the ring of Amara on his hand. "Take the ring it's making him invisible." Cain said. Angelus quickly pulls the stake out of his chest as he just watched Buffy stare at him in shock.
When he has the stake fully out of his chest, he quickly jumps behind Kendra and knocks her out cold. He then runs after Cain.
Before Buffy could do anything her mother opens the door. "Buffy what was that sound. Are you ok?" Joyce asked.
Buffy ran outside to Kendra. "Oh my happened?" Joyce asked. "Do you know her?"
Ah she goes to school with me." I think something attacked her. You should call an ambulance." Buffy said. Joyce agreed and went back into the house for the phone. Buffy then ran off to find Angelus and stop him somehow.
Buffy quickly followed that tingeing feeling in the pit of her stomach. She knew this was not a good idea to be chasing her formal crazy vampire boyfriend down, but she felt like she needed to. Yes she knows she's not the slayer anymore but that still didn't make her want to help out people, even if it was the ignoring bastard that she couldn't stand.
She quickly made it toward the entrance of the cemetery when she seen him holding the man's throat to his mouth. Oh god she was too late.
She ran toward him and stopped when she was five feet from him. He was kneeling down the ground with the man's throat to his mouth. His eyes were yellow and he was draining the man dry. He sees her and then throws the man down and wipes the blood from his face. He smiles at her in his demon feature. "Do you see something you like lover?"
Buffy was to shock to see him like this. He was like a brutal vicious animal. She still wonders how this man can still be the man she fell in love with.
"How could you?"
He smiles and stands up. "To do this? To be this vicious killer. It's what I am Buff. I'm a vampire……..not your love dog." He then advanced on her.
Buffy Smirks hiding the emotion in again as she stepped back. "Stay where you are?"
He laughs and stairs at her curiously. "I don't think So Buff. Your body doesn't comply with you. I can smell your lust from here lover."
Buffy blushed and glanced away, needing to get away from his piercing eyes.
Angelus quickly moved towards her and grabbed her arm. Buffy's eyes widen and she pushed him away. "Don't touch me."
Angelus could only smirk as he gently picked her up and throws her over his shoulder. "Let me down you bastard." She replied.
Angelus laughs as he gently slapped her on the butt. "If you keep doing that lover, I might never put you down." He carried her squirming over to a flat head stone and laid her back on it. His fingers trailed gently on her thigh as his other hand traced her stomach.
Buffy moaned slightly as he stroked her face and gazed down at her with the same look that Angel gives her. "That's right, lover, just give in. We could be so good and wonderful together."
Buffy squirmed a little trying to break free, but it was no use. Well, and the fact she really wasn't' trying hard enough because everything he did and his every touch reminded her of Angel. It was making her lose what she really was.
He then leaned in, closed his eyes, baring his mouth to her neck. He gently placed kisses on her neck then lower. His tongue darting out to taste every piece of her skin.
Angelus took this opportunity at this moment to suck on her bottom lip as his hips were rubbing against hers. Buffy was already panting as she realized his tongue was in her mouth again. She could feel the fresh blood taste in her mouth. At that moment it brought her back reality of what he really was. Buffy pulled away and quickly kicked him making him fall to the ground.
"Damn it, Buff, you're going to regret that." Angelus swore, holding his crouch. "You were always ready and wet with soul boy. I have everything he has. I got his hands, his mouth, his body, his co-"
"Shut up. You don't have his soul. You are not him and never will be." Buffy interrupted in a strong voice.
"It's only going to get harder for you lover, very hard." Angelus yelled as he watched her ran away from him. He cursed again but promised himself he would have her soon. He would have her even if he had to destroy everything in his a path to get to her. "
*****************************************************************
It's the next day of school as Buffy glares into space thinking about last night. She keeps thinking about how everything started. How Angel lost his soul. How this demon was using Angel's body to provoke her sexually. Every touch, every kiss. It was sending her to think really bad things that she shouldn't be thinking and the fact she hated it. Hated how it made her feel, how the demon was provoking her every moment it could put on her.
It then made her wander how she got the nerve to leave the cemetery last night. Well actually the only thing that made her leave was when she tasted the blood in his mouth. It made her change and felt wrong what she was doing.
"Ah Buffy are you listening?" Giles asked.
Buffy looked towards him to see everyone staring at her. "Oh sorry I was just thinking about what happened last night? How is Kendra?"
"Kendra is fine. She just had a major headache afterwards. But unfortunately Cain took a different turn. He died minutes before the ambulance came." Giles spoke
"Well at least we don't have to worry about him taking her to the council?" Xander exclaimed.
Buffy stared at him in frustration. "Well if it helps, I did try to save him." Buffy replied getting odd looks, especially from Xander. "He was still Human Xander it was my right to save him even if he was an ignoring bastard."
Giles smiled a little wishing he had the same views about the man. "Buffy that was very superb of you to do. You really have a big heart. Although it was quite dangerous since you don't have your powers."
"I know I just felt like I needed to do something. I couldn't just stand there and not do anything."
"Ah yes but you have to know your limits Buffy." Giles replied sincerely. "We don't want anything to happen to you."
"Ya then we wouldn't know what to do without the buffster. You are our Hero." Xander said.
Buffy smiled at a little. "Ah thanks Xander. I wouldn't know what to do without you guys."
Willow smiled and Jenny grabbed a book that was near her. "I think I found a way for you to reach the oracles. We have all the ingredients ready. Now the only problem is to find their chamber. There have been rumors that it's located in LA."
"In La you mean Los Angeles?" Buffy spoke.
"Ah yes but there is a way to teleport you there and back." Jenny said. "But it's quite dangerous."
Buffy was about tell her she didn't care. She just wanted her Angel back. She sighed and was startled as she suddenly seen a white portal come out of nowhere. She then watched as a man walked out of it wearing a tacky suit that looked like something from the seventies.
"Does anyone else see what I'm seeing?" Buffy said as everyone stared to see what Buffy was looking at.
There was a funny looking man in a hat standing in the corner. Giles looked at him strangely. "Who are you?"
Whistler smirked at the gang and then turned to Buffy. "I know what you're trying to do, It won't work your not ready."
"What do you mean I'm not ready and who the hell are you?" Buffy asked.
"I work for the powers to be, and they sent me here to fix the situation you got yourself into. And if you did do that little spell your be more screwed up then you are now." Whistler said.
Jenny crossed her arms sneered at the man. Xander stared at him and glared. "I don't trust him I think he's a demon."
Whistler smirks but hides it because in fact he was a demon. But a good one but they didn't need to know that. "No need to go in panic mode. I'm the good guy."
"Situation, like if I would have known then maybe I wouldn't be in this predicament." Buffy sneered.
Whistler smiled and stared at the gang in front of him. "Wow this is a moment to share the Scooby gain researching and the slayer in love with a vampire, this is stuff of legends."
"Legends?" Xander asked curiously. "Are we famous in the future or something?" Xander asked.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Giles asked again.
"As I said watcher I'm here to fix the Slayer……or more of to give her powers back since she."
Buffy stared at him hard and wondered if he was going to say something to piss her off because she was ready to wipe that smirk off his face.
"I'm not going to patronize you slayer after all everything that has come to this point is supposed to happen and partly because I'm sort of responsible for this." He smiled. "Although I was the one that showed Angel you.. Well, I mean who did have a soul before you two did the wacky. Sorry."
Buffy glared at the mocking and stared at him angrily. "What do you mean this was supposed to happen and what the hell do you mean you're responsible for him meeting me?"
"Oh he didn't tell you. I'm the one that introduced you to him. Well actually he was just protecting you."
"You mean stalking." Xander mumbled.
"Now he doesn't stalk that much." Willow glared at Xander. "He broods more."
Whistled smirked. "Oh ya can't forget the brooding; he did that a lot too." Whistler said. "Everything that happens supposed to happen slayer. It's the way it has to be for the events that will come."
"What events?" Giles asked as everyone else was just as curious.
"Hay I want to know what happens to me in the future." Willow replied to feeling left out.
"Ah I wouldn't get hooked on the magic too much. I since something ghastly." He then turns to Buffy.
Giles stared at whistler before he suddenly disappeared and then reappeared in front of Buffy. Willow was still trying to figure out what he met. Xander didn't trust the little man and Jenny was just to shock to say anything.
"I'll have her back in one piece." Whistler said taking her hand before she protested. "Hay." Buffy said.
"I'm taking you to the oracles they seem to be getting inpatient. Oh and don't mumble too much, they like for the warrior to get to the point and leave."
"Wait a minute….Warrior, I'm a warrior?" Buffy replied as she and whistler disappeared before the others."
Willow just stared in awe as Xander stared at the spot Buffy was just standing. "Did she just disappear?"
