Love's Revival (10/?)
A crashing sound echoed through the building as Buffy's body
slammed into the boxes in the corner. Angel laughed violently
as he walked determinedly towards her. She was losing; Angel
was beating her to a bloody pulp. Buffy tried to regain her feet,
but the fall had caused too much damage. Buffy reached up to
feel that her hair was soaked in her own blood. She hissed as
her fingers brushed against a large cut on her forehead. The
fall onto the crates left her body in bloody and broken. Tears
filled her eyes as she realized what was to come.
"Angel, help me, please," Buffy whispered softly. She
struggled to get up, but the pain defeated her. Every breath she took
caused new flashes of agony to race across her nerves.
"Sometimes words are your greatest weapon," a quiet voice
whispered back. Buffy knew the voice instantly and realized what
she had to do.
Angel was upon her, almost as if he jumped across the
room. He droped to the ground over her, and stroked her face.
"You have no idea how much I'm going to enjoy this."
"Angel!" Buffy could barely breath under his weight.
"What?" he asked, annoyed.
"Why'd you save me?" She looked up into his eyes, tears
falling down her cheeks.
"Come on, Buff. Why are you making this harder on
yourself?"
"Just answer the damn question. Consider it a last
request." Buffy struggled to sound intimidating, gasping against the
pain.
"Okay, I'll humor you. After all, this will be the last
time I'll ever see you." Angel smiled a little as he took in her
battered body beneath him. "I guess I did it because I wanted to
get back at Savarah; she was using me to get to you." A serious
tone replaced his smile. " And I did it because I love you." A smile
formed again on his lips. "Enough of that, you have your answer,
now let's get this over with." Angel leaned forward and sank his
teeth into Buffy's neck. Her eyes widened and her body tensed. He
slowly drained her life; he wanted to take his time and enjoy
every second of it. Her blood was so sweet, but then, all
Slayers tasted better than other humans.
A sudden sharp pain struck Angel in the chest. He pulled
away from Buffy who had lapsed into unconsciousness. Angel got to his
feet and stumbled to the center of the room. "Savarah! NO!" Angel
fought it even though he knew it would do no good. He ran towards
Buffy's body, planning to finish the job. It was too late.
***********
"ANGEL!" Drusilla awoke from a deep sleep.
"What? What is it my sweet?" Spike sat up and wrapped an
arm around her.
"He's gone. Gone." Dru rocked back and forth as she tried
to find comfort in Spike's hold. He pulled her closer and she
leaned her head against his shoulder.
"Gone? What do you mean gone?"
"Savarah. She took my Angel away." She laid her head down
in his lap. Spike stroked her hair gently as he tried to calm her
tears away. He couldn't help from smiling when he realized what
happened.

Love's Revival Part 9
"What are we supposed to do about Buffy?" Willow asked,
panicky.
"There really isn't anything we can do. Just hope that she
comes back from this alive," Giles said, deep in thought.
"We can't just wait here and do nothing!" Xander snapped,
coming to his feet.
"Oh, yes we can." Cordelia said, afraid to risk her life for
Buffy again.
Giles indicated for Xander to come into the kitchen. "Look,
I understand that you want to protect Buffy. But this time, it's not
your place; you can't help, I can't help, no one can."
"Except Angel," Xander said unwillingly.
"Yes. Except him."
**********
Dru walked out into the main room, a large blanket draped
around her.
"Spike?"
"I'm over here." Spike from the chair where he was sitting,
centered in the room.
"Are you okay?" She asked cowardly, tilting herself off to
one side. Spike motioned for her to sit on his lap and she did.
"Yeah. I'm just thinking."
"'bout what?"
"About you, me, and that bastard Angel." Dru caressed his
cheek as she flaunted her pouty face.
"Well, he is," Spike said half giving in to her look. Dru
smiled and he smiled back. "Come on, let's get you back to bed." He
lifted her into the air and they walked up to their bedroom. The door
closed behind them, sending a shivering vibration throughout the
warehouse.
**********
"I can't take this anymore. I've got to go help."
"Xander!" Willow cried out as she got to her feet to stop
him. "You can't do anything. This is Buffy's fight. She's the only
one that can get her soul back."
"I don't care. I can't just sit her while the that Devil kills
her."
"What makes you think she's going to die?" Savarah stepped
out from the shadows of the stair case. Everyone stood up to face
her. "Oh, you don't have to get up."
"What are you doing here?" Giles asked through a mix of
emotions.
"Visiting some old friends."
"Where's Buffy?" Xander tried to approach Savarah, but found
he couldn't move.
"Oh, her? Well, she's hmm, working out some unresolved
issues."
"What did you do to her?" Giles demanded.
"Relax. If she wants to get her soul back, she must defeat
her greatest challenge."
"Again I ask, why are you *here*?"
"She's not. Angel. Angel's her greatest challenge."
"Chalk one more up for watcher man." Savarah said with a
laugh. "I really should be going now. I just wanted to make sure
none of you tried to help her; she has to do this on her own."
"Do what? Kill Angel?"
"No. Not kill him, love him." While they all pondered her
words, she disappeared just as mysteriously as she had appeared.

***************
Love's Revival (11/?)
Angel awoke slowly to find himself sprawled atop Buffy. His
weight was crushing her broken body. Quickly he moved off
her and knelt by her side.
"No," he whispered, "please no. What have I done?" Angel's eyes
widened in horror as he saw the twin puncture marks on her neck.
Remembering what had happened, what he had done, he screamed out
into the night. "NO!!!" His voice echoed through the building. "Not her.
Why did it have to be her?" He lifted her gently and cradled her body.
Tears from his eyes fell upon her motionless form, mixing with the blood
in her hair. "Buffy, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I couldn't stop him. I
couldn't...Oh God." As he held her close, he felt her take in a painful
breath. He loosened his hold, and watched as she painfully took in
another breath.
Angel smiled faintly as a sense of false hope came over him.
Getting to his feet, Angel rushed out of the building with Buffy's
body in his arms. He ran to the closest place he could;
the one place he didn't want to go, but knew he had to. He knocked
on the door quickly and then put his arm back under Buffy to keep
her supported.
Xander opened the door to see his worst nightmare come true.
He was speechless for a brief moment before reacting the only way
he knew possible.
"You bastard!" Xander said. He grabbed her body from his
arms and rushed her inside to the couch. Giles and Willow ran to
the door to see Angel's grief stricken form looking back at them.
"Angel!" Willow screamed as she saw how innocent he looked.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to, I didn't- it wasn't me. Oh my
God, what have I done?" Giles and Willow just watched him as he
collapsed against the porch railing. He was rambling incoherently.
"She's lost a lot of blood!" Xander yelled from the living
room.
Angel turned and tried to peek into through the
door to see Buffy. Giles stood in his way, unable to speak.
"What do you mean it wasn't you?!?" he yelled angrily.
"We had to fight for Buffy to regain her soul. I hurt her,
so bad. I'm sorry, I- I'm so sorry," he whispered brokenly.
"Angel?" Giles asked quietly. The haunted look in his eyes
proved that it wasn't the Angelus that they hated so much. The one that
had killed his Jenny.
"Savarah restored my soul and Buffy's because she forced me to
admit that I loved her." New tears streamed down his face as he realized
how much he had hurt Buffy, her friends, everyone. "Tell Buffy that I'm
sorry. That she'll never have to see me again. I'm leaving, forever."
"But..." Willow wanted to stop him but didn't. She knew that
if he left, it would be for the best. Giles and Willow both returned to
the living room to kneel by Buffy's side.
"We have to get her to a hospital, quickly!" Giles lifted
her off the couch and they ran to his car.
*********
Willow and Cordelia sat in the waiting room, watching Xander
pace in front of them.
"Xander, please sit down," Cordelia said, indicating
a chair next to her. He shook his head without even looking at her.
"Xander, pacing isn't going to change anything." Willow said
innocently.
"Yeah, well, I can't just sit still. This is making me mad.
I could have done something. I could have helped her. Maybe then that-
that thing wouldn't have hurt her!" Willow tried to ignore his harsh
words. He had every reason in the world to be mad, and she was willing
to let him take it out on her.
He saw the impact his words had on her and stopped his pacing
for a second. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. I'm just so
frustrated with all this."
"I know."
Giles rose from his chair across the room and walked over
to him. "Xander, you know you couldn't have helped her."
"Yeah..."
"Rupert Giles?" The doctor exited Buffy's room and approached
the group. Everyone stood up to greet him.
"Yes, how is she? Will she recover?"
"Well, I can't disclose much information since there is no
legal guardian here, but she will be fine. We're giving her blood
to replace what she has lost. She will need a lot of recuperating
but she will be good as new." Smiles filled the room and Xander
finally sat down.
"When can we see her?"
"Well, not for a little while. When will the parents be
arriving?"
"Her mother is flying in right away. She should be here
soon."
"Okay then." The doctor marked something down on his charts
and then looked back up to Giles. "You should all get some rest."
"Yes, I suppose we should." Giles said with smile. "Thank
you, doctor."
End Part 11 - More to come soon. I promise. What do you think so far???

****************
Restoration: Part Seven
A half joy, half sadness filled Buffy's heart as she awoke the next
morning. Angel was back, but now he'd gone and placed himself in mortal
danger. Trying to pull one over on Spike and Drusilla would be more
than hard, it was nearly impossible. If Spike didn't sense the change
in Angel immediately, Drusilla would surely see it in one of her
visions.
Buffy half heartedly pulled on her robe, walking downstairs to find a
note left by her mother. Joyce had gone into the gallery early
to prepare for a new exhibition. Buffy sighed and glanced at the clock,
7:30. She had an hour and a half to get ready for school, not like she
would be able to concentrate, but she really should fill Giles and the
others in on what was happening.
When she got to school she went immediately to the library. She heard
their voices long before she opened the door.
"It's done, Xander! All the screaming and complaining in the world
won't change that!" Willow's angered voice rose clearly.
"Yeah well I still think we should just stake him and get it
over with!"
"Xander, it was my choice to make and I made it." Giles' voice was far
calmer than either of the teenagers.
Xander growled, "Well you made the wrong choice if you ask me!"
"Which I did not."
Buffy opened the door and regarded the argument as yet unnoticed.
Xander continued, "And Buffy! I can't even begin to believe her!
She's gone back to that undead freak even after all he's done! Just
jumps right back in bed with him as if nothing ever happened!"
Willow looked up and caught sight of Buffy and the hurt expression on
her face. "Xander," she murmered quietly, but the boy paid no
attention.
"It's like he just walks in, goes, "Honey, I'm home!" and all
the murder and pain and self absorbed, sarcastic remarks are immediately
forgiven! Who cares that he killed our friends; forgive and forget,
right?"
Giles had by now seen Buffy as well. "Xander, stop."
"I mean is Buffy so damned desperate that she'll do any man who puts on
a sad face and a tortured past cause I can do taht act just as good, and
guess what??? I'm alive!!!"
Both Willow and Giles snapped as tears came to Buffy's eyes. "Xander!
Shut up!" They hollared in unison, and finally the boy closed his mouth.
He turned around to see Buffy standing there, her cheeks damp with
tears, her arms hugging her body. His jaw dropped. "Buffy...
I..."
Buffy shook her head, "Forget it! Forget it forget it forget it forget
it forget it!!!!!!" Her voice rose with every sylable before she
finally stopped to stare Xander in the eyes. "I came here to tell you
all that Angel's gone on a suicide mission for US! To save US! He's
gone back to Spike and Dru's to take them out, but obviously none of you
give a damn so why the hell should I bother!"
She turned on her heel and slammed out of the library, spinning past
Principal Snyder, almost knocking him into a near by garbage can.
"Young lady!" He cried out as she stormed past. "Miss Summers! Has no
one ever taught you miserable children manners?!" She never stopped as
she hurried out of the school. The principal brushed himself off,
muttering to himself as he headed towards his office. "Obviously not.
I hate children, I hate teenagers more.. absolutely no manners, no
consideration!"
Back in the library, Willow glared at Xander in anger. "What?!" he
snapped, "I only spoke the truth and no matter how she feels it's always
gonna be the truth!"
Willow looked at Xander in shock for a moment, hardly able to
comprehend the sheer callousy that filled his every word. Shaking her
head Willow turned to go after Buffy. She paused at the door to look
over her shoulder at her best friend. "And you say you love her." She
shook her head, her words growing soft with disapointment. "What's
worse? To think that I thought I loved you."
With that she allowed the library doors to swing shut and she
disappeared out the front door of the school.
***********
Willow pushed her body to it's limits as she raced after the
much more agile Buffy. It didn't take her long to realize where the
girl was headed. Buffy didn't have many friends, and only one that
lived anywhere near the Bronze.
Willow slowed her pace at last, pausing to catch her breath as Buffy
disappeared into Angel's building. Finally, as her breath
returned to a somewhat normal pace, she entered the building herself.
The door to Angel's loft was open, and from inside Willow could hear
the slayer's crying, a sound that scared her immensely. The only other
time she could remember Buffy crying was right after Angel had
gone to be replaced by Angelus.
Silently Willow stepped inside, moving unerringly into the bedroom
where she sat down upon the bed, resting a gentle hand on
Buffy's back.
Buffy had always known Willow would support her through
anything; she was the best type of person in existence. Willow was a
loving, selfless girl, and right now Buffy needed her support more than
anything.
Turning, Buffy lay her head upon Willow's shoulder, her tears coming to
a stop as she realized she had at least one friend left.
After a few moments, Buffy looked up into Willow's ever caring, now
concerned eyes. "Do you think I'm wrong to trust him again?"
Willow shrugged, "It's hard for Xander to understand, Buffy. We've all
done strange things in the name of love. It can't be helped."
A slight smile came to the slayer's lips and a wistful tone entered her
voice. "You weren't wrong, you know. Love does make you do the wacky."
Willow straightened and grinned. "Gotta love that book learnin'!" In
her best impersonation of Xander.
She was rewarded with a soft chuckle from her friend. "That's not
something you learn from books, Will. That's all you."
And Willow smiled.
*****************
Angel sat in the darkness of the vampire hideaway. His return had been
awarded with a brilliant smile from Drusilla and a scowl from the wheel
chair bound Spike.
"Welcome back, Angel, and I was so hoping you'd been staked."
Angel grinned and shrugged, "Sorry to disappoint ya, man."
Drusilla sidled up to Angel, resting her hand on his chest.
"You never disappoint me, my Angel."
He shook his head, stroking the female vampire's hair as she rested her
head against his shoulder. "I couldn't go and let my poor Drusilla
down, now could I?" He grinned again, casting a look at Spike out of
the corner of his eye. "After all, if I died, who would you have to
dance with?" He drew Drusilla in closer, swaying her body with his
to a beat that was only in their minds. Drusilla sighed with pleasure,
closing her eyes and smiling faintly. "Roller boy there is a smooth
wheller, but he couldn't manage dancing with you in that special way you
love so much, now could he, princess?"
Drusilla shook her head slightly, "You do so know how to please me."
Angel smiled, "I know you better than anyone, Dru; history can't be
forgotten."
Drusilla stroked Angel's face. "My poor dear, left all alone
all day.. all day. You didn't sleep well, did you?"
Angel shook his head, "Nah, baby. Without your sweet voice to chase
away the sunlight, I could never sleep."
The vampire female giggled. "Hush now," she whispered, "Or
Spike may get jealous." Spike rolled his eyes and feigned gagging over
the arm of his wheelchair. Drusilla led Angel to the door. "Off you go
to sleep now, my sweet Angel. When the sun falls we'll have a special
dinner, you and I."
Angel kissed lightly Drusilla's forehead before turning and heading for
his room. Once he was out of sight he ran his fingers through his hair
and sighed.
He regretted what his actions of the next few nights would
bring, but Spike and Drusilla had to be stopped. Angel lay down upon
his bed and closed his eyes. Even if that meant Drusilla would have to
die.

End Part Seven!

Summary: Angelus is being visited by some disturbing nightmares.

Rating: PG I hope. But there could be a lot of language and violence in

that may appear in this story. I also make no claims to any of the
literary, film or theatrical references made here.
Mazes of the Mind 3
Angelus found himself emmersed in a huge tank of slimy goo. He was
suffocating; drowning in the airless metal coffin. He slammed himself
against the side of the tank and it rocked. In desparation, he did it
again and again until he was finally able to knock the thing off
balance.
The tank fell over on its side. As it did, the top poped off and he was
slammed to the floor and washed out of his prison. He saw a flash of
light...
Suddenly, he was no longer spralled out on the floor. Now he was
standing a few feet from a large monsterous form that layed where he had
last been. Angelus took one step and found himself on the floor in pain
next to the creature.
Gently, he rolled himself over and got to his knees. He crawled over to
the body and, with great effort, rolled it onto its back. As he did, a
pair of yellow eyes snapped open and stared at him. It roared and
Angelus jumped back.
The monster then got to it's feet and started to come after him.
Terrified, Angelus started to crawl away. Eventually, with much effort,
he too got to his feet and began running, but the creature was too fast
for him.
Angelus found himself trapped in a corner with the thing closing in on
him, reaching out with one of it's great hands and enclosing its fingers
around his throat. The monster squeezed and lifted Angelus into the
air.
In that instance, as the creature's grip tighted and closed off Angelus'
air ways, he knew that he had done something terribly wrong. But, it
was too late, his creations monsterous, angry face was the last thing he
saw and the last thing he could regret before his world went black.
