A/N: Umm...Surprise? Yeah, okay, before you all come at me with whatever your holding, I blame it all on, well I blame it on something. But for some reason I thought that this chapter needed to be the end and that I was taking my sweet time completing it until I said, ah what the hell, if this takes longer to write than expected, and trust me it's taking way longer than expected, than screw it. It's my story, and yes I feel so bad and I am so sorry but at least I updated, right? Because honestly I had no idea where I was going with this and I was just going to leave it until I came up with a half exceptable chapter and posted it. But honestly, I'm not like that. I care about all my stories, they are my babies. So go and read them and I'll be happy, they will help relieve this long gap between chapters, that I hope won't be long anymore. So, long story short. I'm sorry, go read everything else I've read, you'll probably enjoy it, sorry again, hope you like this chapter, please review! Thanks!
Angel opened his eyes expecting to see Buffy curled up next to him. She wasn't. He pushed the covers off him and pulled a shirt over his head. She wasn't in the bathroom, the door was wide open and the light was off. He walked out into the hall and went down stairs.
Faith, Spike and Andrew were sitting by the counter. Andrew laid a card down and Faith snorted. "Bull."
Andrew grabbed the cards and said something about it being not fair that he was an honest person.
Faith turned around as she saw Angel. "You alright?" She asked.
He shook his head and went into the kitchen where the Willows and Freds were talking.
Willow smiled at him but he barely registered them.
Angel turned around and went downstairs. The Gunns, Wesleys, and Xanders were all talking. Gunn nodded toward Angel. Angel went upstairs. By then Angel and Cordelia had come from outside, it was still dark out. Giles and Giles walked out from the office and Dawn walked down the stairs. The Willows and Freds had come from the kitchen and were looking at Angel, worriedly.
Everyone else came into the lobby, who wasn't there before.
"Has anyone seen Buffy?" Angel asked.
Everyone shook his or her heads.
"She's not in her room?" Dawn asked, worriedly.
Before he could say something Willow walked over to Dawn. "She probably just went for a walk Dawnie."
Dawn nodded. "Yeah, a walk in a place where there's a vampire wearing her face and-." She shook her head. "No, I don't think so."
"Willow's right Dawn." Xander said. "Buffy's not stupid, she can take care of herself. I'm sure she's fine. No need to worry," He said giving her a smile.
"That's what you always say!" Dawn said. "I'm sure that's what they said to the other me when Buffy was taking care of herself and then she ended up a vampire."
"Dawn…" Giles said gently.
"No, you know its true. Buffy does things to save the world, stupid things. And there's a vampire out there with her face and a world that needs saving. I'm thinking that that walk is not a walk, it's a death march."
Everyone was silent for a moment and still. The only one who moved was Andrew and he squirmed.
A bursting through the door interrupted the silence. Lorne ran in and looked around for a second. He jumped back when he saw them all there in the lobby. "Whoa there are a lot of you."
He shook his head and sighed. "Angel, where's Angel?" He asked almost frantic.
Both Angels stepped forward. He shook his head. "My Angel." Then he shook his head again. "Nevermind, both of you." He ran out the door.
Gunn sighed. "It all happens at night doesn't it?"
Angel and Angel followed Lorne. Xander moved suddenly and everyone jumped. "I'm not going to sit here waiting."
"Me neither." Said Spike who got up from where he was sitting and followed Xander out the door.
Dawn ran after them and Willow ran after Dawn. Xander followed them, as did Giles. Cordelia ran out too and Gunn and Fred went with her.
That left Faith, Andrew, Wesley, Fred and Gunn. Faith left a couple moments after Cordelia, Gunn and Fred did.
Andrew squirmed. "Are we going to go too?"
Gunn stood up, as did Fred and Wesley and went out the door. Andrew ran after them.
The Hyperion was quiet once again.
The Angels ran after Lorne and Lorne led them to an alleyway.
"What's going on Lorne?" Angel asked stepping into the alley.
Lorne looked grim and nodded over to the end of the alley. Angel took a step in and the other Angel followed.
"Buffy?" Angel said as he saw the slayer on the ground next to another figure. It was the other Buffy, the vampire.
He cradled her in his arms. When he looked down he noticed blood. The vampire had bit her. He checked her pulse; she was still alive, but barely.
"What happened?" Angel asked looking at the other Buffy on the ground.
"I don't know." Angel said distractedly.
Just then Xander came into the alleyway followed by Spike.
"What happened?" Xander said looking between both Angels.
"We don't know." Angel said and scooped Buffy up.
"Where are you going?" Spike asked turning around.
"Back to the hotel." Angel said. He looked at his other self. "Bring her too." He said, motioning to the other Buffy.
Spike grabbed the vampire and followed Angel, who walked determined toward the hotel. Everyone followed him, like following him like he was their general into battle. Their faces were all grim and determined.
Buffy woke up in a bed. She almost thought that it hadn't worked but when she saw the face looming over her, she knew it had.
"Great your up." Said the other her. Her vampire self folded her arms and frowned. "What the hell did you do?"
"Orpheus is a bitch ain't it?" A voice said from a doorway. Buffy turned to see a third her walk toward her vampire doppelganger. "I've been meaning to face you for a long time." She said.
Buffy got out of bed and walked toward the two. "It worked." She said grimly.
The non-vampire Buffy turned to face her. "Yes, it worked."
Vampire-Buffy rolled her eyes. "Where the hell are we?"
"Sunnydale." The other Buffy replied, and then she grinned at the both of them. "Welcome back."
Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Xander Harris pretty much lives by that saying now days.
