CHAPTER FIVEKate stopped and looked very puzzled. "But I thought…" Kate said trailing off.
Angel knew that things were about to get very complicated and he was probably going to have to explain every thing to Sara and Emily. "Well, Kate, you see, Jasmine had a sister. A twin sister actually. When I went back to Ireland, I found Jasmine and…" Angel just sighed knowing that there was no use in trying to hide the truth any longer. He was just going to have to explain Jasmine to Kate and then explain all about vampires and demons to Sara and Emily. "…and I turned her. After she awoke she insisted that I turn her sister, Katelyn, as well. I did it to appease her. After many, many years, Jasmine and Katelyn had made a name for themselves as the one of the best hunters and killers in all of Europe. While on orders from the Master, they went after a sorcerer and, I guess you can say they lost. Katelyn was given a soul while Jasmine remained her normal, evil self. The point was to split them up forever. Katelyn refused to kill after that but Jasmine still, or course, wanted to. In the end Jasmine couldn't stand the thought of eternity without her twin by her side so Jasmine and Katelyn had Jasmine ensouled as well. This happened after my stint in Romania and they came looking for me. They couldn't find me so they wandered Europe for a while until Katelyn was killed by the Master's men."
As Angel had been telling his story, Sara and Emily sat in complete silence not knowing what to think. Here was their Angel, the one they thought they knew and he was talking about vampires, and gaining and losing souls and all sorts of crazy things. Sara realized, at that moment, that she didn't know Angel at all. Kate seemed to understand and simply nodded her head in acceptance.
"Um, Angel. I don't understand." Sara said.
"I am sorry Sara. I didn't want you to find this out about me. You see, I used to be a vampire. Was for over 200 years. Then I went to Romania and was given a soul. And after about 50 years of having that I, as well as a vampire I had turned named Spike, who also had a soul but only for about 2 years, became human." Angel said trying to explain as quickly as possible. "I know you don't understand and are very confused right now. And I will explain it better in due time. But right now, the killer me and Kate are after could come after you at any moment. His name is Penn and he, too, is a vampire. I created him, made him the monster that he is now. But a few years ago he was in LA and Kate killed him. Wolfram and Hart must have brought him back to life, but this time as a vampire."
"I…I…" Sara didn't know what to say. Emily was sitting next to her mother in complete shock.
"I don't mean to make things worse but, like I said before," Jasmine interjected, "it's not Penn and Wolfram and Hart that we have to worry about now."
"What do you mean?" Angel asked.
"When they brought Penn back, they simply did it to see if they could bring a vampire back as a vampire. I had heard that they had tried with Darla but she came back human. Well they succeeded with Penn. They figured that if they were going to try and bring back a vampire, they might as well bring one back that would bother you. But that wasn't their real goal, never has been. You see, who they really wanted, and who they now have…is Heinrich Nest, the old Master of the Order of Aurellius." Jasmine said watching everyone's reaction.
Kate just looked confused. She knew a little about the Order of Aurellius from when she had researched Angel when she first learned he was a vampire. But she didn't know much about the Master. Angel, on the other hand, looked terrified. When Angel was a vampire, the Master wouldn't have been much of a problem. He knew that if his strength was at 100% that he could take on the Master. The only reason he didn't in Sunnydale was because, at the time, he was way too weak to take on anybody. In all reality, he had a very hard time fighting Darla, who he could have beaten easily before he got his soul. But now that he was human, he knew that he was no match for the Master. Even though he still had his strength and his speed, he didn't have the demon in him to give him his real strength.
"Are you absolutely sure?" Angel asked.
"100% sure. They even brought back Luke, the Master's right hand man. Oh, and some old lawyers: Lindsay McDonald and Lilah Morgan." Jasmine responded.
"Ok, I can't take this." Sara said getting up and motioning for Emily to do the same. "Me and Emily are leaving this hotel. We are going to pack are things and we are going to go stay at a friend's until we can get a place of our own. You have gone absolutely insane Angel. Talking about vampires, and evil law firms, and bringing people back from the dead. You all have completely lost it. And you, Angel, if somehow this is all true, have been lying to us for a long, long time and I will not stand for it. Its over Angel. Me and Emily are leaving, now!"
"Sara please, I don't have time to explain it well but I promise you I will."
"No, Angel. We are gone."
And with that, Sara and Emily went to their rooms, packed up the necessities and left the Hyperion Hotel.
