It was hard. Not being there, helping Buffy when her soul mate was terrorizing her and her friends. But I had learned a lot.
The brought me to LA again saying that when the time comes this is where I'll be. But the first task the wanted me to do was go to a place called Caritas. I assume it's a sanctuary for those who have nowhere else or something.
"Love the coat. It's all about the coat." I looked down at my brown leather waist level jacket. "Welcome to Caritas." A green demon with green skin and red eyes and horns with a really bad suit on sat next to me at the bar. "Know what that means?"
"It's Latin. For mercy." I replied. "Can I get another drink?" I asked turning my attention to the bartender.
"Now wait a minute. Wait a minute. Honey you're what fourteen? I really don't think that you should be drinking. Much less in my place of living. So maybe it would be best for everyone if-"
"The powers that be sent me. I'm the messenger that needs guidance or whatever. And by the way I lie about my age. I'm really twenty-nine. Just kinda stuck in my fourteen year old body."
"Well in that case, what can I do for you? And Mal be a doll and drop another Sea Breeze this way."
"I really don't think you can help me. Unless of course you can read my soul, tell me what to do from hear…"
"Well sugarcakes, you came to the right place. Here at Caritas the main attraction, besides the whole no violence thing, is the fact that if you sing, I can see what's going on in that pretty little head of yours."
"So you're anagogic?" I asked intrigued.
"Only if you sing karaoke. Now go I want to see what's the what in there." He said pointing at my head. As soon as the last demon almost finishes his song he walks over behind the stage and directs me to follow him. "Okay now what song tickles your fancy?"
"I don't normally sing karaoke. I write my own songs."
"Well then I guess I just have to pick for you." He said as he went scrolling through the list. "Here's one." He said finally deciding on one.
"You know maybe this isn't such a good idea I mean my voice really isn't that good. An- and I probably haven't even heard of the song that you have. I mean I-I play but according to the music world around me, I've been under a rock."
"I bet we've had worse sweetie." He then walks up over to the snake like demon and takes the mike. "Let's give it up for Liz the demon that keeps on giving. Now we have a shy first time witch with a bit of a demon in her trying to find her true path." I knew that was my cue. I went through the plastic string curtain like things and waited for my fate to start playing.
Listen as your day unfolds

I could hear them all. What everyone was thinking, feeling. It was like being high on a totally undiscovered drug. The tingling sensation that went from head to toe.
Don't ask no questions, it
goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the
pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you
try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
Oh oh oh
Remember
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future
holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may
cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my heh,
hey, hey
You gotta be
You gotta
be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool,
you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I
know, love will save the day
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you
gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You
gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the
day.
The power was gone as soon as I finished singing. I couldn't hear anyone but the tingle that I got was still there. "Wow" I whispered.
"That was sparkling and new now wasn't it folks? I'm going to talk to her while Morah the bringer of death puts out a little ditty for you." We walked off the stage. "First off what was the hunk of crap that was you saying you can't sing? Girly have I heard you sing somewhere else?"
"Have you been in Manhattan in the last decade?"
"Yes."
"B.C.B.G.'s?"
"Also a yes."
"What year?"
"'89"
"Saturday, in June?"
"once again I'm gonna give you a big yep."
"Then you heard me."
"Really that was you singing up there?"
"No I was a waitress that was on clean up. I worked next door where nobody's played."
"Anyways can you tell me what's going on with my life?"
"How about you tell me why you didn't tell me that you were also anagogic?"
"I didn't know. My family tree is a bit disoriented. I have yet to figure out what demons went into the making of… me? I guess."
"Listen to me now. You have many gifts if the PTB's wanted you to come here then I think the reason was to find another one of your gifts. Now that you have you don't need me. But hey feel free to stop by anytime if you want." He turned back to the bar expecting her to walk away.
"Thanks Lorne."
"How did you-" he turned once again only to find an empty place where she was standing.

Same day.
Buffy had spent most of her day looking for Angel. Anywhere she thought he might be, she even beat up Willy a few times but no matter what, it seemed like he didn't want to be found. So she decided to turn back to his apartment and leave him a note.
"Angel?" she asked when she saw he was I fact at in the sort- of almost living flesh.
"Hey" Their soon wrapped up in a heave kiss/ hug.
"Oh, my god. I was so worried."
"I didn't mean to frighten you."
"Where did you go"
"Been around"
Ohh, oh, my god!" they hug once again "I was freaking out! You just dissapered!"
"What? I took off." He shrugged like it was no big deal.
"But you didn't say anything. You just left?"
"Yeah. Like I really wanted to stick around after that.
"What?"
"You got a lot to learn about men, kiddo. Although I guess you proved that last night."
"What are you saying?"
"Let's not make an issue out of it, okay?" he then goes to get his coat. "In fact, let's not talk about it at all." pulls it on "It happened."
"I, I don't understand. Was it m-me?" she asked meekly "Was I not good?"
He starts laughing "You were great. Really." snidely he said "I thought you were a pro."
"How can you say this to me?" she asked more angry now.
"Lighten up. It was a good time. It doesn't mean like we have to make a big deal."
"Hello, it is a big deal! I lost my virginity and you're sitting here like it was a fun time playing Parcheesi!"
"It's what? Bells ringing, fireworks, a dulcet choir of pretty little birdies?" He starts to laughs again. "Come on, Buff. It's not like I've never been there before."
He reaches his hand up to her face. "All the things I could teach you." He thought out loud while looking at her, all of her. He then starts to attack her mouth. She pulls away. "Angel, what?"
"Shh, it might not have been bells and fireworks now but give me a few times. I think you're a fast learner." He pulls her in once more. And the lesson begins.

I really wanted to include that scene with Buffy and Angelus in the end, for two reasons one I know how some people would feel if the chapter was only Taylor, and I always thought that they kept… you know even after he lost his soul.
K new contest do you know the song that taylor sang?
One last question what do you thing went through joss's mind when darla said that she and Agnel were soul mates in season 2's episode darla?
Please review.
