Chapter 34:
Everyone with the exception of Cole, Leo, and the Charmed ones stared at him. After a few moments Giles exclaimed, " You're Angelus, Why in the bloody world are you working with the Charmed Ones?"
Paige stepped protectively in front of her boyfriend, and growled, " He has a soul, he's a champion."
Buffy growled, " Who's Angelus?"
Giles replied, " The most vicious brutal, and feared vampire in history."
Buffy glared as she asked, " How brutal Giles?"
He replied as he ferociously wiped his glasses, " He slaughtered his entire family as well as his whole village, then along with his sire, and lover Darla cut a bloody swath through Europe, and Asia for over a hundred and fifty years."
While Giles was speaking Angel cut his eyes over to Paige. And watched how she reacted to Giles words. And much to his amazement, and relief she looked very bored, and indignant that that the former watcher was saying these things."
When he was done speaking Paige said in a very enraged voice, " But that stuff is all in his past, as I said before, he has a soul now, he doesn't kill innocents anymore."
Giles said, " I'm very sorry Miss Mathews, but a vampire like Angelus doesn't ever stop slaughtering innocents as you call them, and he certainly does not seek to regain his soul."
Angel glared at Giles as he growled, " I did."
Buffy was about to reply, when Leo cut in, " Look Angel is on the side of good now. We must stop Ethan Rayne."
Angel hearing the urgency in the Whitelighter's voice asked, " What's up mate?"
Leo replied, " Phoebe had a vision."
Cole looked to his girlfriend as he asked, What was it?"
Phoebe replied, " Ethan Rayne has aligned himself with a hellgod known as Glory."
