A/N: This is my Buffy & Angel season re-write from Buffy season 5-7 & Angel season 2-5. Everything belongs to Joss, the plot, the characters; you can see where this is going. Everything that happened in Buffy season 1,2,3,4 happened and everything in Angel season 1 happened. I now have three fics that I'm trying to finish so please bare with me. You're probably wondering why aren't I re-writing season 4 and making it so Angel didn't leave well then there would be no drama besides I loved the episode The Yoko Factory with the whole Angel kicking Riley's ass it was great and then I thought wouldn't it be so great if Angel came back and Buffy convinces herself she loves Riley but doesn't really anyway I'm not going to say anymore otherwise I'll give the whole fic away
I will be using the original plot of every episode and mixing it with my own ideas also I'll be bringing Angel in as well. That also means I will be borrowing part of the original script so everything you recognize belongs to Joss Whedon. It is a Buffy & Angel fic and they will eventually end up together but if there together from the start then there will be no Darla, no spike or nothing and that will just be so boring. It's all about DRAMA
Story so far: It's the summer after Buffy killed Adam, Buffy and Riley are happy together (not happy about it but it needs to happen, you'll see why) Angel found out about the shanshu prophecy and him, Wesley, Cordelia and Gunn have moved to Sunnydale. They have only recently moved so none of the scoobies know yet. On with the re-write then.
Buffy VS Dracula
The sun was shinning brightly as Buffy drew back her arm then released the ball from her hand. Running to catch the ball she had threw she screamed playfully, finally catching the ball she threw it down onto the sand dancing victoriously
"Ha! Touchdown! Go team me" Riley smiled watching her dance, god she was so beautiful, so carefree. It was hard to believe that she held the weight of the world on her shoulders. Still deep in thought he automatically caught the ball Buffy and thrown at him and frowned, he knew she was holding back
"Anyone ever tell team you that the star quarterback throws like a girl?" He threw the ball back at her. Frowning she stood in her fighting stance then pulled her arm back and realized the ball like she and before only this time with so much power it knocked Riley to the soft sandy floor
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I bet you liked me better when I threw like a girl huh?" Buffy ran over to him to check if he was alright
"I'm fine" Riley swept the sand of his muscular body. Buffy couldn't help but compare his body to her ex, Angel. He was the love of her life, she would have done anything for him but sadly they parted. He went to L.A she stayed in Sunnydale. A normal life he said he wanted her to have but how could she ever have one of them? She was a slayer, that's all she wanted was her two hundred and forty four year old vampire boyfriend, that's all she's ever wanted even now with Riley there wasn't a day that went by she didn't think about him, her Angel.
Willow, Tara, Anya and Xander lay on four separate towels revealing they're bare skin begging for the sun to work its magic.
"I'm exhausted looking at those two. All the splashing and jumping and running... Shouldn't relaxing involve less exertion?" Xander said watching Buffy run into the sea while Riley chased her. His friend looked so happy, happier then she had ever been
"Absolutely. Exertion can lead to sweatiness and sweatiness can make you feel so hot" Anya was getting caught up in her own imagination, her hand running down to her cleavage
"Uh Anya" Xander brought her back to reality with the not here tone of his voice
"Which can cause the pain and heartbreak of stinkiness. Better to just stay put." Tara smiled with her eyes closed; it was they were closed because Anya didn't care if she was in public
"I think we've just put our finger on why we're the sidekicks." Willow added
"Xander I want to get all sweaty. Let's get all sweaty" Anya almost demanded rolling onto her belly
"Later" Xander replied enjoying the sun too much to move until Buffy stood in the way blocking the warm rays that hit his body
"Buffy killed the football" Riley announced holding the deflated ball up
"It attacked me" Buffy argued back smiling a little as Riley looked at her with a raised brow, she loved winding him up.
"God I'm starving" Xander got up and headed to the portable barbeque trying to set the coal on fire, but it wasn't happening
"I know all that running around really makes you burn up an appetite you know" Riley looked at Xander for a response but Xander couldn't give him one, he didn't know. While Riley was running around he was lazing around enjoying the rare peaceful moment
"The, uh, fire's not cooperating. It's comforting to know that I lack the culinary finesse of a caveman." Xander called still trying. Willow sighed and got up
"Men, you have to do everything for them. Ignis incende" there was a spark then a small flame then the flame spread making the whole barbeque light
"Check you out! Witch-fu" Buffy grinned
"It's no big. You just have to balance the elements so when you affect one, you don't wind up causing..." Willow was trying to be modest but just then a cloud of blackness appeared in the sky then rain poured down from the grey heavens "I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" All six of them gathered their stuff and ran desperately to Xander's car.
The unexpected storm brought with it an unexpected guest, several to be honest. An old abandoned mansion was being occupied. It had been abandoned since its previous owner had left two years ago but the owner had never sold the mansion for his hope that one day he would return and that day had come. The old mansion on Crawford Street was being reclaimed by the tall dark haired brooding vampire. On the other side of town another vampire was
moving in, a different one, one without a soul. Lighting flashed revealing the ancient castle for what it was; dark and mysterious.
"Why are we doing all this again?" Willow asked putting the last sticker on the old beaten book then placing it alphabetically in the book shelf
"I want you to be ready" Giles said taking his glasses off to clean in his shirt "There will be a day when I'm not around to help you anymore and when that day comes I want you to have everything you need"
"But that wont be anytime soon will it?"
"I'm afraid it will be sooner then you think I'm planning on going back to England" Giles announced feeling like he was abandoning his family but he knew he had to, he was no longer Buffy's watcher, why he had stayed this long he didn't know
"But we need you"
"No you don't, you know you don't. Willow I would love to stay, I really would but I have already stayed longer then I should. Once I got removed as Buffy's watcher I should have returned but I didn't. My love for her, for all of you stopped me but now seeing you all grown up has really put me in my place. None of you need me around. I have completed my role as watcher, Buffy is one of the best slayers in history" Giles gave a comforting smile to Willow then brought her into a hug. She knew he was right, she knew they no longer needed him but that didn't mean that they didn't want him around. For each one of the scoobies Giles was a father figure, he was the closest thing Buffy had to a father
At the cemetery Buffy was already in action punching the vampire that rose from the grave behind her. It took her several punched to get him onto the floor, once he was down she grabbed her stake and thrusted It into his chest turning him into dust. She got up and brushed the remains of the vampire off her. A cold feeling aroused in her chest, dark eyes were starring at her, she could feel them, dark, cold eyes.
"Very impressive hunt" A very pale man with dark long hair spoke in a ascent that sounded familiar "Such power" The man stepped forward but knew well enough not to get too close
"Just another day in the life of a slayer" Buffy smiled giving the man the once over "So how do you want to do this?"
"We're not going to fight Buffy" The man said confidently, a little too confident for Buffy's liking
"Do you know what a … Wait how do you know my name?" Buffy asked taken back
"I know all about you Buffy Summers"
"You heard about me?" Buffy felt almost famous. A foreign vampire she had never seen before knew who she was "Do you mind me asking how?"
"You are known throughout the world. Don't you want to know who I am?"
"Well seeing I'm going to send you to hell in a few minuets I don't really care" Buffy replied showing him the shark end of Mr. Pointy
"I told you Buffy that we are not going to fight" He looked at her with his penetrating eyes making her shiver slightly
"Who are you?" She asked for the first time unsure of herself
"I am Dracula" The man cryptically said. It reminded her of the first time Angel had told her his name
"No way" Buffy gasped trying to block Angel from her mind
"You know that I am as I knew that you were Buffy Summers"
"Xand ... what if somebody had a secret and that somebody promised somebody else that they wouldn't tell anyone?" Willow couldn't stand keeping secrets from her best friends even if it was Giles she was keeping it for
"News flash, Will. Everybody knows." Willow turned her head surprised but then realized what he was talking about
"I'm not talking about me and Tara" They both stopped when they noticed Buffy and a guy with a black cloak. Xander sniggered at the sight of him
"We got another one that watches too many films?"
"Actually I'm pretty sure that is Dracula" Buffy whispered. Xander could feel his jaw drop to the floor
"Do you think he'll do me an autograph?" Xander asked completely star struck. Willow dimly looked at him "Well it's Dracula" Xander said defensively
"We going to fight or what?" Buffy asked a little impatient
"We will not fight; this isn't the time to talk either. I will see you soon Buffy Summers" Dracula flapped his cape and all of a sudden he was gone, what was in his place was a large bat flying above her head.
"Guys I think I'm going to do another once over, you guys head back and fill Giles in I'll be there soon" Buffy said still a bit shocked with the whole bat thing
"Yeah ok" Willow said dragging Xander before he insisted on helping her patrol. Once her two friends were gone she followed them in a distance only instead of going her normal route she went another way. Crawford Street the sign in front of the blond slayer read. She hadn't once visited this street since the only person she knew lived on it moved, it was too painful but today something had drawn her to it. Standing outside the mansion that her lover had owned she froze. There he was, right in front of her he stood in the window his back to her but she had no doubt that it was him. Buffy felt her whole body tense, she would have given
anything to be able to move, run, run as far as she could but she couldn't the only way she could move was closer to the house.
Inside the house the residents heard the doorbell ring just as Angel sat at his desk. Cordelia looked at Gunn who looked at Wesley. The three on them wondered who it could be at this hour; they had only been moved in a few hours. While the three of them stood in wonder Angel already knew who it was, he could feel her, his lover, the only girl he's ever loved was standing at his door.
"Aren't you going to get that?" Cordelia asked. Angel looked up at her with his dark eyes, part of him wanted to leap at the door and claim his lover but the other part wanted to hide under his desk. He knew he couldn't do either of that so he decided it was best to leave Cordy answer the door. When Angel didn't reply to her she sighed heading toward the front door
"I'm not your butler Angel" Cordy complained before opening the large double doors "Buffy" Was all the ex cheerleader managed to say. It took a moment for Cordelia to get her voice back. She knew that Buffy would be standing on the doorstep of the mansion when she found out Angel was back but she didn't expect it to be this soon. "Come in"
"Is Angel here?" Buffy asked quietly, her heart was racing like it used to, like it did every time she felt his presence. He made her feel alive; he was the only one that could do it. Cordelia led Buffy into the first room. Gunn was waiting on the sofa but upon seeing the gorgeous blond he stood up and walked over
"What can I do for you?" He asked seductively. He was about to move closer to her when Cordelia shook her head then he took a step back "Demon?" He asked wearily
"Buffy" Cordy answered for the slayer. Now Gunn could see why the brooding vampire had to love so far away to get over her
"Charles Gunn" Gunn took her hand and kissed it gently like the gentleman he wasn't. Cordelia watched him in disbelief
"Oh please"
"Where's Angel?" Buffy asked her voice was still quite, her heart was still broken yet when she felt him her heart felt whole again
"In the office with Wes" Cordelia almost whispered, she could tear the tension with a knife and they hadn't even seen each other yet. Buffy moved towards the office door her heart racing faster with every step she took until her hand was finally on the golden handle. Pulling it down slowly she pushed at the door standing still as her emerald green eyes reached his dark brown eyes. She could feel herself drowning in his gaze, it took all her might to break the stair
"You bastard" Buffy said without thinking, she couldn't help it, the words just came out. Angel looked at Wesley silently asking him to leave with a look
"We'll talk about this later" Wesley said gathering all his books and research before exiting the room.
"Hey" Angel said a bit hurt from Buffy's commented, the last time they had seen each other they parted on good terms hadn't they?
"Why didn't you tell me you were moving back to Sunnydale? Don't you think I have the right to know?"
"I didn't want to confuse you" Angel replied quietly. It hurt him so much having her in front of him and not being able to touch her, to claim her as his own. Ever since that day he took back she was the one he thought about first thing when he woke up and last thing before he went to sleep
"Didn't want to confuse me? Didn't you think you showing up out of the blue would confuse me even more? You are supposed to me in L.A! You're supposed to be away so I can forget what we had!" Buffy screamed
"I'm sorry" Angel whispered, seeing Buffy like that made his dead heart break "I didn't wan to come here if it makes you feel any better but I had to. Wolfram & Heart moved to just outside Sunnydale and Wes thought it would be better if we moved to too keep an eye on them"
"I have a life now Angel. I have Riley; I don't want you screwing things up for me so stay out of my way ok?" Buffy didn't want for her answer she pushed the door open said her good byes to Team Angel then walked out the front door taking a deep breath to keep her cool.
The whole scoobie gang sat in Giles living room. Xander and Willow had told the tale of their encounter with the world's most famous vampire a dozen times by now and it still hadn't gotten old.
"Buffy" Riley watched his girlfriend brush her hair back, there was something bothering her, she had that look in her eye. Spike came rushing into Giles's apartment nearly knocking Buffy over in his tracks
"Have you heard who's in town?" Spike asked. Buffy's heart skipped a beat hoping that he didn't know about Angel, she didn't want to gang finding out just yet she needed time to come to terms with it first "Dracula! Yup Drac's in town, seen him with my own two eyes. I knew one day that we would meet again"
"Wait a minuet you knew Dracula?" Xander asked not really believing that someone like Spike would know such a magnificent person
"I knew Dracula" Anya announced making everyone's attention move from Spike to her as she told her back in my vengeance demon days "So yeah we hung out a few times" She said concluding her story "What about you Spike?"
"Poncy bugger owes me eleven pounds" Spike huffed
"So you knew him?"
"Well actually it was Angelus who knew him" The mention of Angel's name made Buffy wince hoping that no one noticed she turned back to Spike "I don't know all the details but yeah they were big rivals in the day"
"So we need to talk to Angel?" Riley announced, he knew everyone else was thinking it but Angel was a don't go there subject since he came back and beat the hell out of the ex soldier boy
"Easier said then done. Dead boys all the way in L.A" Xander reminded them all. It was now or never Buffy spoke
"No he's not" She said so quietly that even she barely heard
"What?" Riley asked wondering if he heard right
"Angel's back. I only just found out. He's back in the mansion with Cordy, Wesley and Gunn. I really don't want to talk about it at the moment so can we just leave it until tomorrow, I'm tired and I want to go home" Buffy waited for an argument but she received none "Thanks" She then turned towards the door and headed home.
Xander walked faster more then aware that he was being watched, the feeling made him nervous but he knew who was watching him and he knew what they wanted. "Okay, let's do it. And no poofing. Come on, puffy shirt. Pucker on up, cause you can kiss your pale ass..."
"Silence" Dracula commanded. Xander obeyed
"Yes master. No, wait" He shook his head, there was something strange going on
"You will be my emissary, my eyes and ears in daylight"
"No I wont" Somewhere Xander found the power to fight back
"Yes you will" Dracula replied simply
"Yes I will" Xander nodded
"Serve me well. You will be rewarded. I will make you an immortal. A child of darkness that feeds on life itself... on blood." Before Xander could bow down to his great master he was gone.
Inside Buffy's room she laid sleeping peacefully until a layer of fog poured into her room through the closed window. She felt a breeze on her bare skin. Gasping she sat up seeing Dracula on the bottom of her bed
"You are magnificent." He stroked her cheek then down to her neck examining the scar Angel had left her the night he almost died, the night she almost died.
"I bet you say that before you bite all the girls."
"No you are different, you are…" He touched the scar lightly with his nails, tracing the outline "You have been tasted" He said a little disappointed, he wanted to be the first to taste her, to claim her
"He was…" Buffy started to say in a haze
"Unworthy" Dracula finished his sentence "He let you go" He looked deeper into her eyes "But the embrace… His bite, you remember"
"Yes" Buffy confessed "But he was anything but unworthy"
"Then where is he now?" Buffy didn't know how to answer, she wasn't sure she wanted to "Do not fight" He whispered bringing his fangs down on the other side of her neck where there was no mark. He bit down piercing the soft skin until it left two tiny holes then he was gone.
Buffy woke up thinking that the events of last night were all a dream until she went over to the mirror. On one side of her neck were two fresh holes and on the other was the scar that reminded her of her soul mate, the one she could never be with. Rummaging in her draw she pulled out a pink scarf to hide the deep holes that she should have fought.
Entering Giles apartment she made sure that the scarf was covering her whole neck then she wiped the guilt off of her untouched face
"Buffy hey" Willow smiled taking her eyes off of the book in front of her for a moment
"What we researching then?" Buffy walked closer to Willow and looked at the book she was studying. Dracula it read
"Here's a jelly one, you want it?" Riley asked nearly forcing a doughnut in Buffy's face. She pulled away getting as far away from the sugary treat as possible
"No"
"Got it! Got it. Mine, mine." Xander spoke quickly fidgeting, all of a sudden he had a lot of energy to burn and he needed to burn it
"Well, I think we have Dracula factoids." Willow said still reading from a passage in the book
"Like any of that's enough to fight the dark master." Xander sniggered making the room fall silent, all eyes had turned to him as if he had said the wrong thing and well he did "…Bator"
"A lot we already knew. Turnoffs: Fire, crosses, wood, garlic. Turn-on's: Nice duds, minions, long slow bites that last for days" Buffy felt an overwhelming feeling of guilt as she bared the mark of Dracula on her neck "I think we should ask Angel for his help I mean we aren't very far with this"
"Why? We know he'll be living it up in some fancy mansion so why do we need his help"
"OK. Dracula's modus operandi is different from other vampires. He will kill just to feed, but he'd rather have a connection with his victims. And he has all of these mental powers to draw them in." Again Buffy felt the guilt rise up inside her "H
can control minds, appear in dreams, he has these sort of mental powers. Makes sense, that stare, he just kind of looked right through you. Didn't you feel it Buffy?"
"Uh no" Buffy lied. She knew Riley was waiting for her answer
"See! Buffy didn't feel it. I think you're drawing a low of crazy conclusions about the unholy prince." Again everyone gave Xander a strange look "… Bator"
"I've had enough of research, I'm going to go find him" Buffy stood to leave so did Giles and Riley
"Buffy I don't want you going by yourself, this guy is seriously dangerous, I don't want you to get hut" Riley said. Part of him spoke the truth, he didn't want her to get hurt but the other part didn't want her to go because he was afraid that Dracula would take her as his own
"Hello, I'm the slayer dangerous is my middle name" Buffy reminded him but Riley wasn't so convinced
"Take off that scarf" He demanded
"No" Buffy said defensively holding onto her scarf. Riley ripped the scarf off with one hard tug revealing the two tiny holes in her neck
"Why didn't you say anything?" Giles asked concerned
"I don't know, some thing just told me to hide it" Buffy answered truthfully, but she felt ashamed, the way her friends were looking at her like she was a disappointment was the reason she didn't tell them.
"No, that's okay. I shouldn't take this personally. I mean, what with Angel, I mean, it's understandable that there would be transference. I mean, they're both broody immortals." Riley confessed even though he didn't want to believe it
"I am not… I'm your girl and I'm going to stay that way" Buffy said even quieter although she wanted to believe it she really did but she knew Riley wasn't the one she wanted t spend the rest of her life with "I don't want to go home, he already got inside once, I don't want him to…" They all knew what Buffy meant without her even saying it. She didn't want him touching her again mostly it was because she was afraid that he would leave a scar then Angel's mark would be just another mark but it was more then that to her, it was like a deed.
"You can come over to my place" Xander announced a little too quick
"Riley and I will find Dracula, I think its best if we handle it from now on" Giles couldn't help but stare at the fresh puncture holes in his slayers neck
Buffy sat on Xander's sofa bed thinking of the yesterday's events, Dracula, Angel, Riley it was all too much.
"Look, I mean, I'm the one who knows him, I-I'm the one who had a really good look at him, and so, I mean, what…" Anya screamed as Xander pushed her into the cupboard under the stairs then put a chair by the handle to stop her getting out
"I'm supposed to deliver you to the master now." Xander admitted nervously "There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. You cool with that?" Buffy nodded, she understood
"Take me to him"
"Angel!" Cordelia called "Where's Angel?" She asked Gunn. Gunn pointed toward the office, Angel hadn't moved since Buffy's visit, it really crushed him. Cordelia busted into the office and saw Angel feeling sorry for himself "This is no time for all the brooding. There's a new vamp in town and when I say vamp I mean the ones we see in films that turn into bats." Angel sat up and read the notes Cordy had given to him
"Dracula" Angel whispered to himself "Buffy, where's Buffy?" Angel said starting to panic; he knew exactly what Dracula would be after. Grabbing his coat he rushed out of the front door without even telling the team where he was going
The castle was dark and cold, the kind o place where Dracula would be in the films. Buffy didn't know what was drawing her into the darkness but something was. She knew Dracula had some control over her but yet she still went willingly with Xander, why? Even she didn't understand
"Master? I deliver the slayer. She who you most desire." Xander stepped aside showing the prince of darkness the slayer "So now comes the immortality, right? You do the thing, and…"
"Leave us" Dracula waves his hand and Xander bowed then left the two "We must not be interrupted" Dracula said before Xander left. Xander nodded, he understood completely. Dracula knew that Buffy's friends would be looking for her and that's what made her different from the other slayer's he had met, that's what kept her alive for all these years "I knew you would come" Dracula stepped into the light showing her his black leather pants and a silk red shirt
"Why because I'm under your thrall? Guess again pal" Buffy lifted the stake she had been hiding
"Put it down"
"Ok" Buffy nodded and lowered her wooden weapon. Looking at her arm in surprise she realized she was indeed under the thrall of the dark prince
"I do not want to fight and neither do you" Dracula circled Buffy breathing in her natural scent
"I should go" Buffy confessed feeling nervous
"You should but you don't want to" It was like he was reading her mind, he knew everything about her, what she was thinking, what she wanted to do, her friends, her family
Riley and Giles stood outside looking up at the massive castle in amazement. The castle had everything a castle was expected to have, the big wooden doors, the water surrounding it and the small bridge to the door
"I've lived in Sunnydale a couple of years now. Know what I've never noticed before?" Riley asked
"Uh, a castle?"
"A big honking castle" Riley took the first step towards the castle, as he got nearer he knew that Buffy was inside "She's in side" He said kicking the door open, it went down a little too easy for a massive castle door
"Stay away" Buffy backed away from the handsome man that stood in front of her but when she felt the table against her leg she knew she couldn't move away from him anymore
"Are you afraid I will bite you? No you are not, you are afraid you will let me bite you"
"No, I'll never"
"You'll never let me bite you?" Dracula asked interrupting her "You already have. You want it and you will not resist, that we both know. You think you know, what you are, what's to come. You haven't even begun." Dracula took another step closer to her. They were so close he could feel her heart beating and soon he would turn that beating heart to one that never pumped. He grabbed her hand, kissing it gently then he turned it around nipping her wrist until the little nip turned into a full on bite. The sharp fangs instantly pierced the slayers tender skin but she didn't scream, she felt her blood being sucked away and for a moment she didn't care, she wanted him to drain her, she wanted to become a creature of the night. When she finally came back to her senses it was to late, there was nothing she could do to stop him
"Please, no" She moaned
In the long hall Xander stood waiting for Riley and Giles
"Nobody harms my master." Xander declared feeling an all new power running through his veins
"Your master?" Riley asked
"You want him? You come through me" Riley clenched his fist then punched Xander in the face knocking him out within seconds of the hit
"Not a problem" Riley stepped through Xander then stood thinking what door he should go through next, there were so many and he could sense that Buffy needed him now. Giles opened the second one while Riley opened the first one. Giles fell straight down to a dark basement
"At least you didn't get knocked out for a change" He said to himself "Uh oh ladies" Around him there were three ladies purring, grinding up against him "You would be the three sisters?" The sisters answered with a kiss on the cheek, the kiss went from his cheek to his body "Oh well my friend is in danger you see, uh I don't think you should Oh uh yeah that uh tickles"
Angel stood where Xander had just been knocked out, he could smell the mind control on the unconscious body that lay in front of him. He could also smell Riley Finn. Following the gut feeling he had he moved further down the hall to the end door, kicking it open he saw Buffy barely able to stand being drained by the famous vampire. His body closed down seeing her like that but he knew he had to get it together fast if he was going to save his lover. Running over he yanked Dracula off Buffy by the hair and punched him over and over again
"Angelus" Dracula said once Angel had stopped pounding his face
"That's right Drac now get the fuck off my girl" Angel delivered another hard blow into Dracula's face, he knew he had to finish this soon to go tend to Buffy so grabbing the stake that Buffy had left on the table he stabbed Dracula in the chest. Unlike most vampires Dracula didn't turn to dust but fog, Angel knew he hadn't killed Dracula, he knew he would come back but if he was as clever as he thought then he wouldn't come back until a long time. "Buffy, baby, it's ok, its ok" Angel soothed holding her in his strong arms
"Angel" She said weakly "I tried to resist I did"
"Its ok, you're ok now"
"No listen. I tried to resist but then I thought if he turned me then we could be together so I let him but as soon as I felt the blood being drained I realized it was wrong, I tried to fight but I couldn't, I'm sorry Angel" Buffy cried, her vision was all hazy and she felt so tired.
"It's ok, you don't need to explain anything to me" Angel brushed her hair with his fingers, seeing her like this was so hard for him
Riley pushed open the door that Giles had fallen through, noticing the pit below him he stopped himself from falling. Pulling out a cross he tossed it to Giles
"Come on grab my hand"
"Thank god" Giles cried
"Quick we have to find Buffy"
"There was no possible escape" Giles explained not really wanting to be rescued. Riley looked down into the pit and saw the three sisters
"Why would you want to escape?" Riley muttered to himself wanting to jump down but then the remembered his rescue mission
"Oh my shoe, silly me I'll just pop…" Giles turned back to the pit but Riley held him back
"No no no, sir! No more chick pit for you come on" Riley pulled him up then they both entered the room where Angel was comforting Buffy. "Buffy!" Riley ran over to her side. Angel passed Buffy gently to Riley then backed away. Looking at the picture he knew it was wrong, he knew he should be the one kissing her forehead
"Angel? Where's Angel?" Buffy asked looking around. Riley looked to his side where Angel stood just moments ago, he was gone
"Where is he? Where's the creep that turned me into his spider-eating man-bitch?" Xander ranted torch in hand
"He's gone" Buffy pulled herself up trying not to fall over
Back at Giles's apartment the gang sat drinking coffee; Xander was telling them all what had happened while Buffy walked into the kitchen to talk to Giles
"I need to know more. About where I come from, about the other slayers. I mean, maybe ... maybe if I could learn to control this thing, I could be stronger, I could be better. But ... I'm scared. I know it's going to be hard. And I can't do it ... without you. I need your help. I need you to be my Watcher again"
"Of course" Giles replied
Angel walked slowly bag into his own office; he forgot what it was like being that close to Buffy, holding her like that.
"Did you kill him?" Cordelia asked smiling
"You could have at least got us an autograph or something" Gunn added. Angel shook his head laughing, he may not have Buffy but he had his team and for the moment that was enough, it had to be enough
"I'm out of here. Riley and I are going to the movies." Buffy called
"Ok have a good time" Joyce called back. Buffy entered her room and in it was a young girl with long brown hair, her back was to Buffy
"What are you doing here?" She asked. The girl turned around surprised then gave Buffy a sour look
"Buffy if you're going out why don't you take your sister?" Joyce called again from downstairs. Both girls turned to the doorway annoyed
"Mom!" Both of them shouted at the same time
A/N: Please tell me what you think of this as I'm not sure I'm going to carry on with it unless people actually like it
