So I had no reviews last time… what's up with that? Oh well if you love me, you'll review.
And, I'm not going to update for the next three weeks starting Monday because I have volleyball camp and then I go to another one and then I go on vacation, so I'll try to get more up this week.
Shorter rant that usual, sad.
Last note: watch out ladies and gent's, it's finally here my rewrite of surprise and innocence! (Loud obnoxious cheering)
OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
I pulled away "What the hell? Did you not just hear me?" I was yelling at him, trying to get the message across. "I don't want you Xander!" I grabbed my coat and guitar that I had left on the main table and stormed out.
When I was just about to exit who was to enter but Angel "Katharine. What are you doing here?" he greeted me.
"I was helping them research when… nothing I have to go." I brushed him off and went past him.
OXOXOXOXOX
Over the next few weeks, I had tried to stay distant from the scobbies but I was close enough to watching them. I wasn't even talking to Angel.
"Hey Katharine," Willow plopped down right next to me during lunch. "I don't think that anyone had thanked you for helping out during Halloween, it was good to know that someone didn't want to dress up in the group."
"No problem, so I wanted to ask, are you guys okay? I mean after the whole evil demons taking your bodies to make room for their Queen is ick." I said concerned and slightly disgusted
"We're good, we beat the baddy so it's all good but I do have a slight headache" she said. There was a long uncomfortable silence that lasted about a minute. "Why didn't you want to be with Xander?" Willow broke out.
I said while staring right at her "I saw someone that had been his for a long time but he never knew it. I hoped that telling him that would help but, he's still stupid as ever." I snorted. I was looking at my watch. "Oh damn it, I have to go. Sorry Willow." I stood up.
"Hey Katharine, it's Buffy's birthday tomorrow, very hush-hush, you can come if you want."
"As long as I'm not your date." I smiled. Then like most other times, I ran off.
OXOXOXOXOXOXOX
I was practically leaning on the door when I heard their conversation, and their smoochies. God, if only Angel could keep it in his pants for one more day, I can reveal myself, then go back to home sweet NYC. It's almost sad to go but, no one would care.
"The part at the end of the night when we say goodbye. It's getting harder" she tells him honestly.
"Yeah, it is." He responds. I know something else that was getting harder. And that was my queue to hide, when Buffy opened the door.
I waited until he was about to close the door when, "Hey there big brother." I greeted casually.
"How much of that were you listening in on?" he questioned.
"Since office supply store in Vegas." I walked in and sat down on his bed. "So what's new with our resident vampire?" he stared at me. "Okay Mr. Grouchy, I have to head off to school anyways. But do me a favor. Can you keep it in your pants for one more day? It would save many people a lot of time and effort." More staring. "I would love to have this contest with you but like I said school." I hoped of the bed and left to try to get ahead of Buffy.
OXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"Ms. Calendar?" I asked walking into her room. She's sitting at her desk, grading paper I suppose.
She looked up at me "Yes Katharine, what can I help you with?" she warmly asked.
"You want to know how you can help me." I started. "Well that was the question."
"Stop interfering with Buffy and Angel. I know your uncle's here. You were planning on seeing him after school."
"I don't think you know what you're saying." She commented.
"Then let's say this, after tonight things are going to change. And I don't need the likes of you trying to break them apart."
"Change how and what are you?"
"That's not necessary, gypsy" I left her then, wanting to get the last word.
OXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
I had to admit that it felt pretty good to be back in the group. I mean that I was still considered to Willow at least to be invited. I was walking down the hallway on to my first class of the day, gym. As I was walking past the janitorial closet I heard movement only to be followed seconds later by Xander get out of the closet.
"Wow in the closet. No wonder the gang can never find you." I sarcastically said.
"Well hello to you too Taylor. How's life been?" he asked again with sarcasm.
Next I saw Cordelia walking out high and mighty.
I laughed dryly "That's just great Xander. Did you think I was talking about her?" I was too angry to talk to him. So I walked. What else do I ever do?
OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
Later that night, the Bronze
"Where is she?" Angel asks, coming out from behind the pillar.
"Don't worry, she's Buffy. I bet that she right out-" Buffy come crashing in with a vampire following on the pointy end of a drumstick.
"Surprise!" Cordy yells.
"That about sums it up." Oz nodded. I ran out knowing that it must have been something that the vamps had and Buffy was fighting for. Then I saw the gypsy trying to carry in a huge box I knew it from somewhere. She looked up and I shot her a give me the box or pain will follow look. So, she gave me the box.
I went back inside and set it on the table that everyone was surrounding.
"Okay what the hell is it?" I demanded.
"I have no idea." Giles said helpfully "Can- can it be opened?" he asked.
"Yeah. There's a release right here." Buffy pointed out.
She opened the box and out pops an arm, that went straight for her neck in an attempt to strangle her. But between he, Angel, and myself we managed to get it off of her.
As Angel started to tell the whole tale of the Judge, I had just gotten another vision. But this time it was from the PTB's. It was the spell, fairly easy just some Latin, a pentagram, and the soulmates. I just needed them to be alone.
"You're the only one that can protect this thing." Jenny confirmed. What the hell?
"What about me?" I asked staring at her angrily.
"What you're just going to skip town for a few months?" she inquired.
"Why not? I have no family, the government's paying for my schooling, and I can do it just as well, if not better. I don't have a little allergy to the sun." I was almost yelling. If it was the last thing I do, Angel wasn't leaving this town.
"Katharine, you can't. I won't let you." Angel was lecturing me like a proper brother. "What would mother and father say? They would rather me go and have you continue schooling. Besides I'm the one that was the lay about not you."
"Fine but I'm not staying for you, I'm staying for mother and father Liam." I promised.
Jenny butted in, "I'll drive you to the docks, Angel. Buffy, are you coming?"
OXOXOXOXOXO
The library
Xander was explaining his fantasy when Buffy walked in, with different close on, and wet hair.
As Willow and Xander called their parents, I walked over to Buffy, noticing her new accessory.
"Nice bling. Where'd you get it?"
"Angel gave it to me it's called a claddagh ring." She said admiring it.
"You know what it means don't you?" I asked, but she just shook her head. "My people traditionally gave these to one another as wedding bands. According to Gaelic law, you and Angel are married." I explained. She gave a soft gasp, then a big smile that turned into a yawn. "Buffy I need to tell you something, but get some rest first, it can wait."
OXOXOXOXOX
When Buffy suggested that we check places I was the first to head out to get ingredients to make the pentagram. I went to set up the spell next to Angel's apartment. I thought that it would be the best place, being that we didn't want a place too public. And I didn't want them to know until I knew that it was for sure.
I saw them coming down the stairs I have no idea why they were here though, so I did the quickest thing I could think of. I turned myself and the spell things invisible. Once the door was closed, I checked my watch, it was 12:13 I could start the spell. As I started to chant I saw that I was missing a key element to the spell, the representation of each element. I had to run out, back to the magic shop, for necessary simple, but effective representations. By the time I had walked there, found the elemental stuff, walked back, and set them up. It had been three hours. Well I didn't have to start right then at midnight. So I was once again chanting feeling the magic rush through me.
As the spell was coming to a close, Angel burst through the door running outside. It must have been my spell. It finished a minute later, the buildup that the magic had been making burst in side of me, and in a fast explosion left me tired and restless.
BABABABA
Meanwhile outside
"Buffy!" Angel called out in agony.
OXOXOXOXOXOXO
There you have it folks. Now it's your turn. Does Angel get his soul back, or dose he lose it?
Please review.
