Chapter 33:
Paige slipped her arm possessively around Angel's waist as he replied, " I'm Angel, pleased ta meet ye darlin."
Cordelia smiled seductively at Angel as she asked, " So what brings you to Sunnydale?"
Angel was about to reply, when a blue light bathed the room. He, and Paige shared a look as Piper, Phoebe, and Leo suddenly appeared. Buffy had an edge to voice as she asked, " Who the hell are you people?"
Before they could answer Willow said, " By the goddess it's the Charmed Ones."
Giles exclaimed, " Good lord, it's an honor to meet you ladies."
Buffy growled, " Yea. It's a real honor, now tell me why you are here?"
Piper shot a glare at Buffy as she asked, " Who the hell are you?"
Before she could reply Giles admonished, " Buffy show some respect, these are the Charmed Ones, the most powerful witches that have ever lived."
Buffy shot him a slightly annoyed look as she asked, " Alright, then explain to me why the most powerful witches send a vampire, and a demonic assassin to help us find Ethan Rayne?"
Piper replied, " Because Angel, and Cole are the best trackers I know."
Buffy glared at Angel, and Cole as she asked, " And why exactly should I trust them?"
Phoebe spoke up for the first time, " Cole is reformed, and trying to atone for his past, and same goes for Angel."
Giles said, " Mr. Turner is half human, I can plainly see that, but what is Angel's reason; as far as I know vampires don't just suddenly change."
Paige replied, " He has a soul."
Giles exclaimed as Buffy, and her friends exchanged looks, " Good lord, I have never in all my years as a watcher heard of a vampire regaining a soul. Make I ask, what were you like before you regained your soul?"
Angel looked him square in the eye as he said, " I was a right bastard."
Anya suddenly came bursting through the door, took one look at Angel, and exclaimed, " Angelus it's been ages since we last saw each other."
How will Buffy, and her friends react to the news that Angel is Angelus?
