She smiled to herself. She was no longer a virgin. She'd thought she'd die a virgin but now she had an amazing night to look back too. Angel had his arms wrapped around her but she managed to ease out of the bed without waking him.

Anna watched Angel sleep. She frowned. She hadn't expected to feel so guilty. Before he drifted to sleep the man she'd taken advantage of had told her he loved her. And she just kissed him softly and told him she loved him too because it was what she knew he wanted to hear, and she figured she owed him. It was nice to pretend for a moment that she was the one he been talking to because no one had ever really loved her, but all he saw was Cordelia.

Anna quickly dressed and headed out the door. She knew she couldn't fool anyone. She wasn't Cordelia Chase. And she realized she needed to get out of town before anyone figured out the truth. This was her chance to start over, and she wasn't going to waste it. Anna figured she could call the police with an anonymous tip once she was out of town. That way Cordelia wouldn't be completely on her own.

She opened the door to leave Angel's bedroom and screamed when she saw Lorne walking past in the hallway. She ran back into Angel's room and shut the door. Angel jumped out of the bed not even thinking of putting his clothes on. Anna ran into his arms.

"Cordy, is it a vision?" Angel asked holding her close.

Lorne ran into the room. Anna screamed again.

"Vision?" he asked concerned and then he smiled taking in Angel's naked appearance. "And what a vision it is."

"We need to be serious, Lorne," Angel said. "What'd you see Cordy?"

Anna couldn't understand how Angel could be so calm after a monster walked into the room. Angel could smell the fear coming off her in waves. She kept staring at Lorne and holding on to Angel tightly. She noticed Angel and the monster exchange concerned looks. Anna forced herself to be calm. She told herself that maybe it was just an elaborate costume and that she was just overreacting.

"I'm sorry," she said trying to figure out a graceful way to leave the room and leave town.

It was then that Connor began to cry.

"You should sing to him," Angel said.

Anna hesitated. She didn't like the way he was studying her.

"You know how much the little nipper loves to hear you sing," Lorne prodded.

Anna collected herself and walked towards the crib. She began to sing the first couple of lines of the Mocking Bird song. She didn't notice the look Angel and Lorne exchanged behind her back. She didn't see Angel's frown or Lorne shaking his head. Anna was shocked when she found herself slammed into the wall with Angel's hands wrapped around her throat.

"Where's Cordelia?" Angel demanded.

Jacob Smith burst through his daughter's door in a rage. He stormed towards Cordy and raised his hand so he could slap her, but Cordy dodged him and punched him in his gut. Cordy lost her balance for a moment. Her ribs had been bothering her since she woke up but her movement caused her to feel a sharp pain.

Jacob was winded for a moment and stared at Cordelia in surprise. She got her balance back and attempted to get past him towards the open door but he grabbed her arm. He grasped hard and yanked her back throwing her against the wall. Cordelia saw stars before she fell to the ground. Jacob stared at the girl lying on the floor.

"What the hell's the matter with you girl?" Jacob yelled as he bent down to the lift the girl up. He was going to lock her in her closet.

Suddenly Cordy's hand moved quickly, and she stabbed him in his knee. She'd spotted a large shard of glass near her when she fell. Jacob screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Cordy got up, and although she was disoriented she managed to make it out the door.

She ignored Jacob's screams as she ran into the street. Cordy realized that she recognized the street. She was no longer in LA. She was startled by the realization she was back in Sunnydale. Cordy dragged herself to Buffy Summer's front door. She pounded with all her strength. She nearly collapsed because of the pain in her side and her whole body hurt from being slammed into the wall.

Buffy opened the door and took in the girl's appearance. She was barefoot, just wearing a nightgown and she was covered in blood. Buffy scanned the yard quickly for signs of trouble.

"Who attacked you?" Buffy asked helping the girl inside.

Cordelia opened her mouth to speak but no words came. She was too out of breath and the pain made talking difficult.

Buffy realized she knew the girl. She was in her English class.

"You're Anna, right?" Buffy said trying to get her to talk.

"What happened?" Joyce Summers asked.

It was then that Cordy noticed Joyce standing in the hallway. Cordy was shocked by the sight. Joyce who Cordy knew was supposed to be dead. That's when Cordy found her voice again.

"I need you to call Angel and the others now," Cordy demanded.

Wesley, Gunn, and Angel all stood in the lobby with Anna who sat on the couch. Lorne was upstairs looking after Connor, and Fred sat in the office researching to see if she could find any information about Anna Smith on the internet.

"I already told you," Anna yelled. "I'm not working for anyone. This was just an accident."

"An accident?" Angel said darkly and Anna knew he was referring to their night together.

"I'm sorry," was all Anna could say. "I'm sorry."

He wouldn't look at her. The man whose name she now knew was Angel. If his eyes fell on her even for a moment all she could see was cold nothingness.

"If your sorry why won't you tell us the spell you performed," Wesley said.

"You'll send me back," Anna said frustrated. "I won't go back."

"Back where," Wesley asked.

Anna refused to answer. She wished she hadn't given them her real name.

"What are you running from?" Gunn asked.

"My father," Anna admitted finally. "He will kill me if I go back."

"And what will he to Cordy if we can't get her back," Angel asked.

Tears fell from Anna's eyes. She didn't know how to answer him. They were determined to save Cordy but saving Cordy meant sacrificing herself.

"I won't go back," Anna said with determination.

"You guys," Fred called from the office.

Angel and Gunn exchanged a look. Gunn stayed with Anna while Angel and Wesley went in to the office.

"What have you found, Fred?" Wesley asked.

Fred hesitated, "It's really bad."

Anna sat in the Lobby watching the others in the office. They all looked upset and Angel was obviously angry. Wesley held Angel back from going back into the Lobby. Wesley went back instead while Gunn then went into the office to find out what information Fred discovered.

"What is it?" Anna said getting scared.

"What is the date?" Wesley asked.

Anna looked at him in confusion, "February 2nd."

"What year?" he asked

"1999," Anna replied. "What's going on?"

The others walked back into the Lobby.

"She believes it's February 2, 1999," Wesley told them.

Angel said darkly, "It's not going to happen."

"It won't happen," Gunn agreed.

"What is it?" Anna appealed to Fred.

Fred handed her a printout. It stated that Anna Smith from Sunnydale, California was found dead on February 7, 1999.
