(I am working on publishing a one shot about Angel's past... this is more of a view on it.)

Angel finished buttoning up her coat. Kyd dropped a book on the floor to get her attention. 'Angela, what are you doing?' Angel looked over at her boyfriend. He was sitting down on his bed, just shuffling through his iPod. Angel smiled. "Just... need to do something before the end of the year. I'll be back soon."

Kyd raised his eyebrows. 'In formal? Angela, are you going to a wedding, a funeral, or a date?' He signed. "None of the above... look, its complicated. I promise, Elliot, I will be back soon." Kyd nodded and went back to listening to music.

Angel peered into the large building. Quickly, she slid in and took a seat. She mumbled a quick prayer and went to leave. "Angela?" Angela spun around in shock to see an older woman in a black habit. Angel blinked a couple times, then her eyes widened. "Sister Nellie?" She said slowly.

The old woman's face broke into a smile. "Angela... I haven't seen you in over eight years." Angela snorted. "That's because you chased me away. Remember?" Nellie frowned. "I do, Angela. And... I apologize."

Angel crossed her arms. "Its a little late for that. I take it you know my name to the public?" Nellie nodded. "Yes, Angel." "I took that name to spite you, you know." Angel said, narrowing her eyes. "Yes. The others realized what we had done." Nellie sat down, and motioned for Angel to sit next to her. Angel did so.

Nellie pulled her close and hugged her. "I still apologize, Angela. I helped make you who you are." "And I have no regrets." Angel smiled. "I'm in love with the perfect boy, I have amazing friends... I am content with my life."

Nellie smiled. "You are happy?" Angel nodded. "I am the most happy woman alive." Angel said. "And that's all I ever wanted you to be, Angela." Nellie said.

Angel blinked in surprise. "Really?" She said. "Really. And... out of an old woman's curiosity, who is this boy?" Angel laughed. "You'll find irony in it." Nellie shrugged. "I don't care, just tell me."

Angel pulled a picture loose from her jacket. "I won't tell you his real name." Nellie took the picture and smiled. "Kyd Wykkyd. A demon and an angel." "Correction: He's a half-demon." Nellie shook her head, chuckling. "I see the irony."

Nellie patted her shoulder. "I am glad that you are happy with life. Just... I wish you could see what I see." Angel raised her eyebrows. "Which is?" "I see a beautiful young woman, who is happy. But at the expense of others." Nellie sighed. "I should've expected it. You can go home. And remember a few lessons that I taught you."

Angel stood up. "Yes, Sister Nellie." Angel turned to leave. "Goodbye." Nellie nodded. "Good bye, Sister Angela." Angel turned back around in shock. "Really? I'm a thief. Not at all religious." Nellie chuckled. "Yet, you still call me a sister?"

Angel sighed. "Thanks."

Angel left that door.

Nellie looked up at the rafters of the old church and said, "Come out. You are far too large to be a bat."

Kyd Wykkyd teleported down. Nellie jumped in shock. "Why... your the boy that Angela is seeing!" Kyd nodded, and said, "Yes, I am her boyfriend. Angela has never... elaborated on her past. Did she live here?" Nellie nodded, and smiled bitterly. "I figured. We chased her away, mostly me. We shoved religion down her throat- practically accused her of being a demon."

Kyd nodded. "Sounds familiar. I was a demon though. My Angela is an angel." Nellie swallowed nervously. "I hope... you don't entirely blame me." Kyd smiled. "I know. And I am thankful to you."

He vanished and reappeared behind her. "If you hadn't chased her away... I would've never met her. And I would be a very, very sad person today." Nellie jumped again and spun around. "My goodness, you just don't sit still. And yes... I am glad she found someone who saw past her wings." Kyd chuckled silently. "And I am happy I found someone who saw past my red eyes."

He patted her head almost teasingly. "Good bye, Sister." Kyd vanished again.

After glancing around, Nellie breathed out and whispered, "I hope he loves her." "Oh trust me. I do." Nellie gasped and looked around. "My goodness, you keep that up young man, and you will send me to heaven a lot sooner than planned!" Kyd only chuckled.

(Happy. This was more sad than happy. Oh well, I still like it.

Bye byes! Remember to review!)
