Chapter 13
Bella opened her eyes and looked around her she was back in LA which looked like a war zone.
The gaping hole streaming out demons from below had closed but the sky was black with smoke fires burnt, ambulance and police alarms rang in the distance.
"SPIKE? ANGEL? BLUE?" she called looking frantically for her friends.
Looking around she couldn't see any of them, where was everyone! She thought beginning to panic and walk around the chasm hoping to run into them.
Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder "Bella are you ok?" asked Connor
Bella swung around and gave him a rib breaking hug finally letting herself cry.
"Thank god you're here I cant find any of them!" she sobbed
Connor stroked her hair and hugged her "Shhh it's ok I already found Blue and Gunn, we just have to find my Dad and Spike"
Bella wiped her tears on her shirt sleeve and smiled "Ok you're right take me to Gunn and Blue, we will find them"
They found their two friends In the stairwell they had left Gunn in before they went to fight Wolfram and Hart. The bleeding had stopped and started to congeal on Gunn's wounds but he still looked awful.
"Blue?" said Bella softly watching her friend stare blankly down at Gunn.
"Little one…your alive" replied Illyria flatly before returning the hug Bella was strangling her with.
"This makes me happy" she added
Connor cleared his throat interrupting the moment "Sorry girls, I really think we should get Gunn to the hospital I have my car out front."
They carried Gunn to the car and placed him in Illyria's lap in the back seat as carefully as they could.
When they got him to the hospital he was rushed into a Ward by a nurse who only took his name before speeding off.
"We have to help others get to the hospital" Said Bella flatly
Connor nodded "We can use my car the ambulances are already overworked"
"Perhaps we will find the two vampires while we help the humans." Added Illyria flatly
Bella and Connor looked at each other sadly, neither knowing whether they would see Angel or Spike ever again.
