Chapter 7
Angelus entered back into the main room just in time to see Wesley and Gunn being thrown back into the wall.
Angelus took this as his chance to ram the enchanted sword through the Beasts heart. Watching as the Beast took a few steps back and growled in pain "I've been waiting for centuries to do that" Angelus smirked
Watching as the Beast slowly turned on fire and vanished in a bright flash of light.
Angelus winced as he felt a pull from inside him "No..." Angelus searched for the red haired witch "Not yet..." he gained eye contact with the witch "Always ruining my fun"
Willow spoke "Sorry Angelus, your times up"
Angelus growled at her before clutching his stomach "Buffy..." Angelus said to himself as he felt the soul re-entering his body "Buffy" he whispered before everything went to black.
Angel's eyes flashed over in a bright light as he began to see things from his own body.
Wesley, Gunn, Fred and Willow came up to Angel "You alright?"
Angel stood up quickly "Buffy!"
Angel made a dash down the hallway to find a badly bleeding and unconscious Buffy lying on the ground. "Buffy"
He attempted to wake her "Buffy, can you hear me?" She didn't respond. He scooped her up in his arms and made a run for the exit.

The loud cry of Cordelia echoed through the halls of the abandoned old house.
She panted heavily as Connor coached her to push.
"Oh God....it hurts..." Cordelia whined
And in one quick moment the room was ignited in a bright white light.
Connor covered his eyes to avoid the light connecting with his eyes. When he opened them he saw Cordelia asleep on the bed, and a lady with dark hair standing in front of him.
"Hello, my name is Jasmine"

Angel walked back into the hallway of the hospital to be greeted by Wesley, Willow, Gunn and Fred
"How is she?" Willow asked in urgency
"She just came out of surgery" Angel replied
"She'll be ok?" Wesley asked
Angel nodded "She lost a lot of blood...but she'll heal"
Fred smiled "That's good" worry crossed the brunette's face "That she'll heal...not about the blood loss"
Angel simply wasn't paying attention to Fred's ramble.
"I might go back to the Hyperion...bring her some clothes" Willow suggested
"I'll drive you" Gunn offered
"Thanks" Willow smiled "Angel can I get you anything?"
Angel shook his head "No, I'm just going to go sit with her..." He then disappeared down the hallway without another word
"Wes, you coming with?" Gunn asked
Wesley nodded "Yes I will" Wesley took one more look down the corridor before following the others to exit.

Angel entered the hospital room slowly. Looking at Buffy's pale form asleep in the white bed. He walked next to her bedside and sat down beside her bed.
Sitting there silently, watching her chest rise and fall.
He looked to the window and noticed the clear black skies outside. The fire rain had ceased and the night was young.
Angel settled back in his seat and watched over Buffy through the night.

The first thing Buffy felt when she began to stir was the intense pain to her abdomen. She blinked a few times, grateful for the blinds being drawn in the room.
She looked to the side of the bed and noticed him sitting there watching her.
"Your back" Buffy croaked
Angel smiled at her "So are you"
Buffy attempted to sit up, wincing in pain as she did.
Angel moved to help her "You really should be staying still, you might rip the stitches"
Buffy looked disappointed "I had to get stitches?"
Angel sat back down "I'm afraid so"
Buffy sat back comfortably "So I'm guessing we won?"
"You could say that..." Angel said looking down to the floor
Buffy noticed his distant voice "Angel...?"
"I never should have asked you to come. I put your life in danger. I nearly got you killed...again" Angel spoke weakly "It was a bad idea from the start..."
Buffy was fed up with his brooding "It was my choice to come Angel. What happened...was my choice..."
Angel looked her in the eyes "So you wanted to sleep with him?" he asked
Buffy looked guilty "He's you Angel, he's always a part of you"
"He nearly killed you!"
"It was to save the world..."
"So you love him?"
"I love you, all of you...and I guess yeah I have some feelings for him too"
"Right..." Angel drifted off and took a liking in the floor again
Buffy looked hurt "So Angelus was right"
Angel looked up at her
"You want Cordelia"
Angel looked down "I thought I did. She doesn't love me"
"That's not what I heard"
"She slept with my son!" he yelled "How can I love someone that would do that to me?"
Buffy looked sadly at him "I'm not the person you should be asking that question to"
Angel nodded "I understand that Angelus has feelings for you, and I understand that you feel something for him too. It's just after what Cordelia did..."
"You felt that I betrayed you too" Buffy finished for him
Angel nodded "I guess" Angel stood up from his seat "I should be coming before someone comes and opens a window on me"
Buffy nodded "We wouldn't want that"
"Ok, so I'm going to go" Angel made his way to the door. He looked at her once again "I'm really sorry for what happened Buffy"
"Angel..."
Angel turned at the door "Yeah?"
"Could you...You know I don't like hospitals...could you please..." Buffy rambled softly
Not needing to say another word Angel came towards her sitting next to her on the bed.
Buffy snuggled into him
"Get some sleep" He said pressing a kiss to her forehead "I love you"
"Always..." Buffy mumbled as she fell into a peaceful sleep in her lovers arms.
