**********************
~PART 7~
When the gang arrived at the wharehouse through the back entrance,
seeing as how the front door had a guard, they slipped quietly into the
shadows as not to be seen or heard by Spike. Buffy was chained on the
far wall while Spike loomed over her with his demon face on. They
listened intently to what was being said.
"No ones going to save you this time, Slayer." Spike taunted.
"You've cheated destiny long enough. I think it's about time I put you
out of your misery."
"My misery? You're the one with birth defects. If I looked like
you do I'd kill myself." Buffy quiped.
"Tut tut. You'll bruise my ego." Spike tsked. "I bet you don't say
that to Angelus." Spike resumed.
"Who?" Buffy seemed confused once again.
"Oh, It's Angel now. I forgot." Spike corrected himself.
"You know Angel?" Buffy asked.
"Quite well, and he looks just like I do right now. He just hasn't
showed you."
"You lie." Buffy screamed. "He's sweet and beautiful and caring."
"And a demon, might I add." Spike spoke matter-of-factly.
From their hidden spots on the other side of the wharehouse the
gang silently watched.
"What is he doing?" Xander questioned.
"He likes toying with her. Playing with her emotions."
Angel informed.
They were distracted from saying anything else when two
vampires unchained Buffy's wrists and brought her to stand in the
center of the room. Buffy struggled and tried to break free of their
grasps, but to no effort.
"I'm tired of this conversation. It looks like your friends aren't
coming for you, so I'll get on with the killing." Spike bared his teeth.
He grabbed Buffy's arms pinning the two vamps with a stare
making them retreat in fear.
"Goodbye, Slayer. Been nice fighting with you." were Spike's
last words. He tilted her head to the side and slowly lowered his
fangs to her neck.
Buffy's life suddenly flashed before her eyes. The Harvest, killing
the master, dieing at his hands, training with Giles in the library, the
last fight in the cemetary. It was all coming back to her. She finally
knew who she was & what she had to do.
Spike was inches from her neck when he heard yelling from
behind him.
"NO!" screamed Angel. His demon face showing in the light as
he ran towards him.
Buffy didn't hesitate to take the interruption to her advantage.
When Spike looked away she kneed him hard in the groin. Falling to
the floor in pain, Buffy kicked him in the face sending him flying onto his
back.
"Guess who's back, Spikey?" Now it was Buffy doing the taunting.
He got up from the floor and he and Buffy became engaged in a fight.
The gang was so busy fighting their own vamps that they didn't
know Buffy regained her memory. Willow and Xander were holding back
the vampire that was guarding the front door, while Giles staked it.
Angel was taking on the two vamps that brought Buffy foward, which
he promptly discarded in his attempts to reach her. But Buffy was
successfully holding her own. She had a piece of wood she broke off
from a crate in her hand, and was about to plunge it downward into
Spike's unbeating heart when he rolled out of the way. Spike jumped
to his feet and ran towards the door.
"This isn't over Slayer. You haven't seen the last of me." he yelled
and ran out the door.
"I'm looking foward to it, scaredy cat." she yelled back.
Buffy turned towards her friends.
"Buffy?" Willow asked unsure of what to think.
"That's me Wil. Buffy the Slayer, back from vacation." Buffy
replied happily. She never thought she'd be so happy to be the Slayer
in all her life.
A huge smile spread acoss Willow's face and she enfolded her
friend in a hug and then Xander joined in. When they separated Buffy
turned to Angel and kissed him fully on the lips and hugged him to her
tightly.
"I'm so glad you're ok." Angel whispered in her ear.
"So am I." she whispered back. She released him and took
his hand.
"So Giles, unless you want to prod me on details, I'd like to
go home. I feel icky and want to take a shower and possibly get
some sleep." Buffy remained hopeful.
"Details can wait until tomorrow." Giles assured her. "I'm just
glad you're back."
Giles and Buffy shared one of those slayer/watcher smiles, and
the whole gang headed towards their homes. Happy to have their Slayer
back safe and sound.

*************************
~PART 8~
"So when last night did you memory come back?" Willow asked as
the trio sat in the library on their free period.
"Right when Spike was about to sink his fangs into my neck.
My life like flashed before my eyes." Buffy answered.
"It seems as though your slayer senses reactivated itself when
your life was put in danger." Giles informed.
"Well whatever happened, I'm glad it did. I couldn't stand being
in the dark anymore." Buffy stated.
"Buffy and the dark. Two words I can't even imagine putting in
the same sentence." Xander joked.
"Ha Ha very funny." Buffy quiped.
"I know. I'm a laugh a minute." Xander informed.
"Whatever you say, Xander." Willow assured.
"So, ladies are we bronzing it tonight? We can have a crazed
dance party." Xander asked.
"Absolutely. Angel said he might show." Buffy confirmed.
"Oh, come on Buffy, the guys is older then dirt." Xander
interjected.
"Yeah, but he sure looks good for someone whose older
then dirt." Willow defended.
"Thank you, Wil." Buffy said.
Before Xander could retaliate the bell rang ending their free
time.
"You kids better get to class." Giles informed. "Before Snyder
gives you all detention."
"Auugh. I'm seriously thinking about staking Snyder anyway."
Buffy commented.
"All in favor say aye." Xander motioned and raised his hand
as did Willow.
"Go to class, all of you." Giles commanded and went back
into his office.
"Fine. Maybe I can catch some z's during history."
Buffy stated.
"She's back." Willow and Xander replied in unison.
Giles could hear the three laughing as they exited the library.
Shaking his head and chuckling he whispered to himself, "at least
things are back to normal. Or as normal as things can get on
the Hellmouth."
He went bout skimming the card catalogue being a dutiful librarian
***************
The band playing in the Bronze was loud as usual, but not
all that bad. Xander seemed to be enjoying himself, while he showed
off his unique style of dancing. The girls couldn't help but laugh at him.
"So how are you feeling?" Willow started.
"Much better." Buffy confirmed. "I wanted to thank you guys for
sticking by me through this. It means alot to me."
"Hey, that's what friends are for. Besides you would've done the
same for us." Willow applied.
"Without a doubt." Buffy assured.
The two girls shared a knowing smile conveying much more
then words could.
"Hey." Angel greeted.
Both girls jumped startled not realizing him appear.
"Sorry." Angel apologized with a slight chuckle.
"I really wish you wouldn't do that." Buffy commented.
"I think I'll get something to drink." Willow offered herself an
escape. She vacated her stool and headed towards the drink counter
with a pleased smile on her face. Angel and Buffy watched her go and
smiled at each other.
"So I see you are feeling better." Angel stated.
"Much better." Buffy assured him.
"Good, then can I have this dance?" he asked as a slow song
started playing.
"Sure." Buffy replied and took his outstreched hand. Buffy was
surprised at how casually he had asked her, but she melted into his
embrace as he slowly rocked her to the music.
"I told you this felt right." Buffy broke the silence.
"So do you need more time to think things over." Angel asked.
"Not anymore." Buffy whispered as she stood on her toes to
reach his lips. Very gently she pressed them to his as his arms
encircled her.
When they separated Angel smiled down at her as she laid her
head on his chest. He kissed her on the head lightly as they continued
to lose themselves in their own little world, where nothing seemed to
exist but each other.

FEEDBACK: If you wish
Rating: PG
Spoilers: I've changed this. This story takes place after BBB.
Disclaimers: Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and all characters therein belong
to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy and The WB. JΣzen (pronounced Jay-sten or
Jay-zen) is my own creation.
Author's note: This idea came to me long when Buffy first began.
Needless to say, I was very angry at Joss when the Angel episode aired
and my idea for a good vampire went down the tubes.
But I got over that and since then the idea has... evolved. Also. I
have not finished this yet.
Summary so far: JΣzen and Buffy (still talking) were rudely interrupted
by Angelus.
INNER DEMONS Part 12
"Oh, you're good, JΣzen," Angelus said. "However did you get her to
trust you?"
"I told her the truth," JΣzen answered. "Same as you did."
"Really?" came the reply. "So, tell me, how long were you going to
lead her on until you put the bite on her?"
ôHow long were you planing on following us before you showed your sorry
face?ö came the reply.
ôWhat?ö Buffy asked, but she was silenced by JΣzenÆs hand.
"I have no intention of 'putting the bite' on her," JΣzen finally said.
"You don't expect me to believe that?" Angelus asked in a disbelieving
tone.
"I don't expect you to do anything," JΣzen replied. ôExcept, maybe,
leave.ö
"I can't believe I'm hearing this," Angelus laughed. "JΣzen! The
Great monster! The legendary slaughterer of thousands has gone soft?ö
ôI would hardly say IÆve gone soft,ö JΣzen simply said. "More, I would
say that *I've* gotten stronger. But you wouldn't know anything about
that, would you?"
Angelus was taken aback. They stared each other down for several
minutes. All the while, Buffy was stuck in the middle of the two
vampires, unsure whether to get out of the line of fire or keep them
separated (which she doubted she could do anyway).
"Do you remember the night Spike and I ran into you?" Angelus finally
asked.
"Yes," JΣzen answered after a moment's thought. "As I recall, I nearly
ripped you both to pieces."
"We wanted to join you," was the soft reply.
"Like I said," JΣzen repeated, "I nearly ripped you both to pieces.
Who's idea was that anyway? Your's or the insolent Balg's*?"
"Watch it," Angelus warned.
"Or what?" came the indignat response, "you'll kill me? Or will you
just go back to torturing the girl here?"
"Oh, I have plans for *her*," Angelus retorted, shifting his gaze to
Buffy. "Right now, I have other people to take care of."
"Use your head, Angelus," JΣzen raised his voice, "if you still can.
If you think you can play your little games with her and expect the
usual results, your as stupid as those welps of yours!" He calmed down
and stared coldly at the younger vampire. "As for me, just try it and
I'll do what I *should* have done 160 years ago."
ôI donÆt think you have it in you,ö Angelus scoffed.
ôAnd I think something in you *wants* to die,ö was the counter.
ôLetÆs settle it then,ö Angelus growled as he put on his game face.
"Let's."

PART 16
Xander and Cordelia entered the dark confines of the library. Giles and
Jenny huddled at a table full of weapons, sharpening stakes and putting
together a new crossbow, while trying to repair the broken one. Willow
sat in a corner, going through books. Giles noticed that they werenÆt
alone. He looked up and saw the them standing there. ôThank God you
have finally arrived. ItÆs about bloody time.ö He said, rushing over
to them.
ôGiles, you called us *five* minutes ago.ö Xander said.
ôTime is of the essence. You donÆt understand what is going on.ö he
immediately went into the details of their situation.
ôThis is really serious.ö Cordelia spoke, after Giles finished.
ôYes, it is. We have to...ö
ôI GOT IT!ö The Watcher was interrupted by a loud voice. ôI FOUND
SOMETHING!ö
Everyone in the room looked at Willow, who jumped up with glee at her
newly found information.
ôYou found what?ö Xander asked.
ôWell, you know how you told me that Hope was so strong and Buffy felt
so weird around her?ö Giles nodded earnestly. ôWell, I think I might
have found an explanation. Listen to this: There is only one slayer in
each generation. She is the chosen one who has the skill and ability to
fight and destroy the demons that walk the earth. However, if her power
is not strong enough, she may obtain guidance or help. A slayer from
the past may reach out to her by bestowing her power on to a girl of the
age of 16. It is customary that she be of blood relation. The source
of the power may come in a special origin, presumably in an item that
was greatly significant to the slayer.ö

PART 17 G
ôBuffy? Buffy? Are you there?ö
Buffy slowly opened her eyes to the sound of the soft voice calling her
name. Her vision was blurry, and took a moment to focus. She looked at
her surroundings. ôWhere am I?ö
ôYouÆre in your subconscious.ö the soothing voice said.
Buffy staggered to her feet. She felt as if she were floating on a
cloud. She was in a garden of wild flowers, endless fields of them, all
around her. She spun around to see an angelic-like girl standing in
front of her. ôWho are you?ö She asked suspiciously.
ôYou know who I am.ö the girl said. Buffy looked into her familiar
eyes. ôHope?ö
ôNo, my dear. Not Hope. But someone very close, yet distant to her and
you. Buffy, you and I share a connection. I am Mira, the Vampire
Slayer.
ôNo way. YouÆre dead, very dead. For a couple hundred years now.ö
Buffy said uneasily.
The girl gave a small laugh. ôYes, I am dead, but IÆm coming to you in
a dream. DonÆt be frightened.ö
ôWell, what do you want?ö
ôTo tell you something very important. It is about Angel.ö
Buffy felt a small lump in her throat. ôIs he dead?ö she uttered.
She smiled. ôNo dear, he is alive, but in grave danger. You must
rescue him as soon as possible. Or else he will no longer be your
Angel.ö
ôWait a minute, why are you telling me this? He killed you and your
family, what makes you want to help him?ö Buffy asked.
ôYour wrong. He didnÆt to all those horrible things. Not Angel, but
Angelus, the demon within him. When you become a vampire, your soul
flees to safety, and is forced to watch the demon take over your body,
destroying everything dear to you. Angel has been forgiven. He has
redeemed himself by becoming good. He no longer feeds on humans, and
has joined you in your fight against the forces of darkness.ö
Buffy didnÆt know what to say. ôWill he become the new Master when the
sun goes down?ö
Mira nodded. ôThat is why you must hurry.ö
ôBut how do I save him? Spike and Drusilla have him captured, and he
canÆt go outside or the sun will kill him!ö Buffy said exasperated. ôI
canÆt lose him. I love him.ö
ôI know. That is why he will be given a second chance. You must give
him a token of life. It will be the key to his humanity. It will
protect him from harm.ö
ôWhat? What is the key?ö she desperately asked.
ôYou will know when you see it.ö
ôOh god, this is all too much for me to handle.ö
ôYou are strong, Buffy. Believe in yourself and you can do anything.ö
ôMira, why is Hope here? There has to be a reason.ö
ôShe is here to help you. She will fight by your side. She has the
power within her.ö
ôWhat power? How does she have power like that? She isnÆt a slayer.ö
Mira gave Buffy an angelic smile. ôDonÆt ask so many questions. Just
have faith in her and in yourself. She hasnÆt realized the gift she has
been give, but she will.ö
ôGift? What gift? I donÆt understand!ö
ôGood bye, Buffy.ö Her image started to fade away.
ôNo wait! DonÆt leave!ö Buffy ran to her but it was too late, she had
already disappeared. ôNow what do I do?ö Her head began to throb
again, and frustration filled her mind. She looked up into the sky and
there was a blinding flash of light. Then darkness.

PART 18 PG
Angel stared at the door. He knew what was coming. He watched as it
slowly opened, and Spike walked through. He gestured to someone outside
the hall, then shut the door behind him.
ôWell, man, how you holding up?ö he asked casually. The vampire looked
around and saw that Buffy was gone. ôSo she did escape? IÆm surprised.
I didnÆt think she would leave you.ö
ôWhat do you want?ö Angel growled.
ôHmm...letÆs see. What do I want? To be honest, I want to kill you.
You are a traitor. But, you being my sire and all restricts me from
doing so, I have two options: I can torture you, or, I can make that
damn soul of yours go away and return you to your true ways.ö
Angel stood up. ôThatÆs really funny Spike. You amuse me to no end.ö
ôYou know, itÆs really too bad that your precious slayer is going to
die. She is quite the feisty one, donÆt you agree?ö Spike something
out of his pocket. It was small, and Angel couldnÆt tell what it was.
ôCurious, Angelus? Here.ö He threw the object at Angel. He caught it.
Opening his palm, he saw that it was the claddagh ring that he had given
to Buffy.
ôHow did you get this?ö Rage filled his body.
ôOh, very easily. When you two were tied up, I slipped it off her
finger. She never even noticed.ö He laughed. ôNor did she even care.ö
ôWhatÆs that supposed to mean?ö Angel asked, suspiciously.
ôTsk tsk tsk. You are dense, arenÆt you. You really disappoint me.
What I mean is that she really *doesnÆt* love you. She is just using
you.ö
ôShe is NOT using me. We love each other. Something you will never
understand.ö
ôOh, poor Angelus. She *is* using you. She doesnÆt love you. She just
pretends to care so you will stay on her side....so you will continue
killing your own kind.ö
ôYOUR WRONG!ö
ôJust keep telling yourself that old boy.ö Spike said. He grabbed the
ring back from Angel and walked toward the door. When his back was
turned, Angel lunged at him, knocking him down. Spike kicked him away,
and quickly got back up. Angel tried to lunge at him again, but two
vamps from out in the hall ran into the room after hearing the commotion
and held him back. Spike rubbed his sore jaw. ôItÆs only a matter of
time.ö He said, and walked out the door. One of the vamps grabbed a
baseball bat and hit Angel over the head with it, knocking him
unconscious. They left, and slammed and locked the door shut behind
them.

Part 19 PG
ôBuffy! Wake up! Buffy?ö Hope shook her friend slightly. Buffy had
been passed out on the couch for ten minutes, and nothing seemed to wake
her up.
ôBuffy!ö Hope went to the bathroom and grabbed a bottle of rubbing
alcohol from beneath the sink. She poured a little on a cotton ball and
waved it underneath her friendÆs nose. Buffy stirred, and slowly opened
her eyes.
ôMira? DonÆt go, Mira, tell me the key, I have to help Angel.ö Buffy
murmured.
ôBuffy, ItÆs Hope, not Mira. Remember me?ö
ôHelp me, Mira. Please donÆt go,ö she said, and closed her eyes again.
ôBuffy! No, donÆt close your eyes. Uugghh! What do I do? What do I
do?ö She was racked with worry. An idea flashed in her mind. She ran
to the kitchen and searched for a phonebook. When she found one, she
looked up a number and grabbed the phone and dialed.
*********
ôI definitely think that you may have found something. If this is true,
then it explains a lot. Especially with Hope.ö Giles said, when Willow
finished.
ôGiles,ö Jenny said, ôSomething crossed my mind. Hope came to
Sunnydale just in time for us to find out about all of this. She has
the strength of a slayer, but not the skill. Her aunt was a slayer, and
she wears a mysterious pendant. IÆm might be wrong, but It almost fits
in with what Willow just read to us. Is it possible that Mira sent Hope
here to help Buffy?ö
Giles thought for a moment. ôIt is very likely. But what would her
source of power be?ö
ôThe necklace?ö Jenny suggested.
ôSo the plot unravels...ö XanderÆs attempt at dry humor was cut off by
the telephone.
Giles walked over and picked it up. ôHello?ö
ôI need to speak with Giles!!!ö The voice said urgently.
ôThis is him.ö
ôOh IÆm so glad you there! ItÆs Hope. IÆm at BuffyÆs house, and we
were talking and she was looking at my necklace and then she passed out
and I canÆt wake her up and I donÆt know what to do!ö Hope rambled
quickly.
ôCalm down, calm down. Where is she now?ö
ôShe is lying on the couch. She woke up for a minute and was murmuring
something and then passed out again!ö
ôAll right, IÆll be over there as soon as possible.ö He hung up the
phone. ôSomething is wrong with Buffy. SheÆs passed and canÆt be
woken.ö He told them. ôI am going over to her house right now.ö
ôWell IÆm coming too!ö Xander said.
ôIf he is going, IÆm going.ö Willow said.
Cordelia piped up. ôWell then IÆm going too.ö
Everyone looked at Jenny. ôI donÆt want to be here alone, so IÆm also
going.ö
Giles sighed. ôVery well then. LetÆs go. We still need to prepare, so
we will do it at her house. Gather up all the weapons and books that
you can. And hurry!ö
The group gathered up everything that they could and made their way to
BuffyÆs house. In GilesÆ drove Willow, Jenny, and Cordelia with Xander.
ôGiles, what do you think is wrong with Buffy?ö Jenny asked.
ôI really donÆt know. Hope was very frantic on the telephone.ö
ôI hope she will be okay, she is our only hope.ö
ôBut remember that Hope is here to fight too, and Hope is also our
hope.ö Willow said. ôDid that make sense?ö
ôBut Hope has no skills. She is strong enough to go against a vampire,
but doesnÆt ability to fight him.ö Jenny said.
ôMaybe she does.ö Giles said.
ôWhat do you mean by that?ö Jenny asked.
ôWell, perhaps Hope does possess the skill and ability, but she just
doesnÆt recognize it yet. It is possible that she doesnÆt know how to
use her power.ö
ôLetÆs just pray that she figures it out.ö

Part 20 PG
*Groan* AngelÆs head was pounding as he slowly drifted in and out of
consciousness. He opened his eyes, and looked around. The walls were
spinning and the floor was moving, like he was on a roller coaster.
Sickness came over him, and he felt like we was going to throw up.
Angel brought his hand to his forehead and felt a big lump. <What
happened?> he thought. He looked up to see Drusilla standing over him.
She knelt down beside him. ôHello Angel. How are we feeling?ö
ôLike IÆve been hit by a semi truck. Where am I?ö he asked.
Dru was puzzled. <He doesnÆt remember?> ôYou donÆt know?ö she asked
him, helping him sit up.
ôI donÆt remember anything.ö
ôDo you remember me?ö
ôOf course I remember you. I could never forget you. I just canÆt seem
to remember anything else.ö
ôWhat is the last thing that your pretty little head does remember?ö
ôI donÆt know. ItÆs like my memory is jumbled. What is going on?ö
ôNothing, my luv.ö she smiled. ôDo you remember Buffy?ö
He looked puzzled. ôWho the hell is Buffy?ö
Dru squealed. ôIÆll be right back. You just wait here.ö
She ran out of the room. ôSpike! Come here. Spike!ö He walked into
the hallway.
ôWhat?ö
ôAngel doesnÆt remember anything.ö
ôWhat do you mean?ö
ôCome and see him, luv.ö She gently pulled on his arm and lead him into
the room.
Angel looked up. ôSpike, buddy. WhatÆs going on?ö
ôBuddy? IÆm not your buddy. Are you feeling okay, Angel?ö
ôOkay, you two are getting me *really* confused. Would you tell me
where the hell I am, and why do you keep calling me Angel?ö
Spike was confused. <What the bloody hell is wrong with him?> ôWhat do
you want to be called?ö
ôGee...Hmmm...I donÆt know.ö he said, sarcastically. ôWhat do you
think?ö he asked, angrily. ôMy name is Angelus.ö

I feel like a total bonehead, but could anyone tell me what was the last
part of my fanfic "Hope" that I sent to the list? I completely spaced
and don't know what parts to send next.
Thanx--

Part 21 PG
Hope was waiting anxiously on BuffyÆs porch for Giles. When she saw the
car pull up in front of the house, she felt relieved. ôHe is finally
here.ö
Giles, Jenny, and Willow got out of the car. He rushed up to Hope, who
took him inside and lead him to the unconcious Buffy who lay on the
couch. ôHere she is.ö
ôBuffy...wake up. ItÆs me, Giles.ö He rubbed her head gently and
squeezed the palm of her small hand.
ôGiles?ö she uttered. The Slayer opened her glassy eyes. She looked
at Giles. ôI saw her.ö her voice was weak and quiet.
ôSaw who?ö
ôSaw Mira.ö
ôWhere did you see her at?ö
ôIn my dream. She told me to help Angel.ö
ôWhat did she say?ö
ôI have to get the key.ö Buffy closed her eyes. She thought back to
Mira. <I have to find the key. What is it?> Buffy sat up and and
grasped GilesÆ hand. Intently, she looked into his eyes. ôWe have to
help him.ö
ôDonÆt worry, we will.ö As he spoke, Xander and Cordelia entered her
living room.
ôHey, Buff, how you feelinÆ?ö Xander asked.
ôIÆm fine, but my head kind of hurts.ö she replied.
ôI want you to know that I will do anything I can to help you,ö
Cordelia said.
She smiled. ôThanks. That means a lot.ö
ôNow Buffy,ö Giles said, ôBack to your dream. What happened?ö
ôWell,ö she began, ôI was looking into HopeÆs necklace, and I just
passed out. Then, I saw Mira, and she told me that I had to help Angel
before sunset, and that I have to find the key to his humanity.ö
ôWhatÆs the key?ö Willow asked.
ôShe didnÆt tell me. She said I would know it when I saw it.ö
ôHmm...Did she say anything else?ö
Buffy thought for a moment. She remembered Mira talking about Hope.
ôOh, she talked about Hope.ö
HopeÆs green eyes flashed. ôAbout me?ö
ôYes. She said that you have been given the power to something, but I
canÆt remember what..ö BuffyÆs mind was drawing a blank.
Giles looked at Jenny. ôI think we have our answer.ö He said, and she
nodded.
ôAnswer to what?ö Buffy asked.
ôAnswer to everything.ö

Part 22 PG-13 (a tiny bit gruesome)
ôAngelus? You want to be called Angelus?ö Spike asked, incredulously.
ôWell, that is my name, isnÆt it?ö Angel retorted, annoyed.
ôSee, Spike? HeÆs back.ö Drusilla said.
ôBack from where?ö Angel asked, as he struggled to get up. ôWhat the
hell happened to me?ö
ôYou were accidentally hit on the head with a baseball bat.ö Dru said,
innocently.
ôOh,ö he grunted. ôSo where are we, anyway?ö
ôThe outskirsts of Sunnydale. We are getting ready for a party.ö Spike
told him.
ôReally? What kind of party?ö
ôA celebration. Everything is wonderfull.ö
ôAny special reason?ö
Spike laughed. ôYou really donÆt remember, do you. Well, this makes
everything a hell of a lot easier.ö
ôMakes what easier?ö Angel asked.
ôThe ceremony to make that damn soul of yours go away.ö
ôSpike, what the fuck are you talking about? I donÆt have a soul. You
know what? I am so hungry. It feels like I havenÆt had a good meal in
80 years.ö
ôYou could say that.ö Spike said. ôThere is a human tied up in the
room across the hall. She is just waiting to be fed on. I was going to
use her as a snack, but you can have her.ö
ôThanks, man.ö Angel said. His face transformed.
ôHey moron,ö Spike called to the vampire in the hall, ôgo get that girl
and bring her here.ö
The vampire did as he said and brought the frightened girl to Spike.
ôNo, not for me, for Angelus.ö The vamp looked confused. ôWell? What
are you waiting for?ö
Angel grabbed the girl, who was sobbing with fear. ôPlease...donÆt kill
me.ö her shaky voice pleaded. Angel pushed her hair off of her neck.
He leaned in and sunk his fangs into her neck. She screamed, but
quickly died away as he emptied her body. When he had drank every bit
of blood he could, he dropped her lifeless body on the floor.
ôMan, do I feel good!ö He said.
ôSo do I.ö Spike said. ôSo do I.ö
