Chapter 2

Buffy answered Angel "well is ummm arhhh, well it's complicated" she looked Angel over and noticed his wound "what did you do ram yourself onto his hand?" angel had a gigantic whole in his abdomen. Buffy suddenly pressed her hand over the wound and started trying to heal him. Due to the fact that a) he was dead and b) he was a demon because of these reasons Buffy was not able to completely heal him. The contact between them was electric as always and time seem to stand still for them, cordelia however had a knack for ruining the moment and as always interrupted them by speaking up loudly.

"Buffy what are you doing here?"

At this Connor protectively wrapped his arms around Buffy's waist his head rested on Buffy's shoulder. He shouted at Cordelia "Don't talk to her like that" Connor ordered.

"Connor" Buffy commanded "be nice" Connor let off of her but still continued to glare at Cordelia.

Angel stood with his arms folded across his chest looking down at Buffy.

"who?" Buffy replied like a California blonde, avoiding looking at angel.

Everyone was still looking at Buffy; Buffy suddenly had an exasperated expression on her face. She rolled her eyes to the ceiling and sighed. Anyone listening closely would of heard the sound of something jingling. Buffy turned to look at Connor "i have to go" she whispered.

"NO"

"i have to"

"no, i just got you back i don't want to loose you"

"Connor listen to me, you will NEVER loose me no matter what, ok, i just have to go and save the world again, remember if you need me all you have to do is yell ok?"

At Connor's nod of understanding Buffy orbed out to go and see the elders in the heavens.

The gang was silent for a while until Wesley whispered "whitelighters"

"What?" Angel quickly turned to Wesley for an answer.

"it's a myth, just rumours really,,,,,,,,,well the rumours state that when a person who dedicated their lives for the good of others or someone who died in order to save others. Can become what called a whitelighter, they apparently protect and guide other beings or people of good and help those who have fallen of the path of good get back onto it. They theoretically report straight to the elders, who are also sometimes referred to as the powers that be."

Fred was the next to speak up "well that explains how she got here and her ability to heal, but how does she know Connor?"

Everyone's attention was again focused on Connor, who refused to look up from the floor. The cold hard expression on his face was enough to put everyone off of asking Connor questions.

Angel turned to look at Lorne who was still standing behind the counter. "Can you get anything off Connor?" Lorne responded with a firm "no sorry angelcakes" "what about Buffy?" again his answer was "no". Angel became more frustrated at this and began to pace the hotel lobby.
