The Talk {Buffy}

[angel]

--------------------------------------------

In a way he had always known that she was his girl. For some reason, he had known that through everything. She always came to him when something was wrong, or even just called him. ”I do” he said quietly, taking her comment very seriously. It was nice to hear because even though deep down he knew, sometimes he doubted it forgot. Sometimes he’d let himself forget, like when he’d seen her with Riley. His rage and jealousy had taken over. Never in his life had he felt like that about someone before, it just showed him how much he truly did love her. Still to this day he disliked Riley, though he had known he was good for Buffy.

That bugged him too.

But then, they enveloped themselves in a kiss. Right now the two of them were giving into their temptations, yet again. Only a few hours ago they had done the exact same thing. They’d given in completely to each other, allowing them get wrapped up in one another and ignore everything else. Even though they both knew it was wrong they were doing it anyways. It seemed like since Angel had arrived, they hadn’t been able to keep their hands off of each other. At least Angel hadn’t. This was now the second time he had basically just jumped her.

It worried him that they could so easily give in to each other. Other than the one time, they’d almost always been able to control themselves. Since her seventeenth birthday they hadn’t had another incident. That one time had been more than enough to teach them a lesson. Since then they’d been very good at keeping their distance from each other. It wasn’t as if anything was different now and yet, here they were making out and groping each other. He just hoped he didn’t regret getting back together with her, that neither of them would.


This was now the second time they had made out tonight and apparently, the second time they would get caught. He hadn’t been paying attention to anything other than Buffy so he hadn’t heard Katheryn coming up the stairs. Although she had been extremely quiet so he wasn’t sure he could have heard her anyways, though he probably would have been able to sense her. ”Apparently I do” he said with a chuckle. Buffy was pretty much on top of him at his point, burying her head into his chest.

As she rolled off of him, he sat up so that his back was propped up against the bed, though his bottom half was still lying down. ”Katheryn, you can’t possibly annoy me but I dare you to try” he said with a light smile. He then patted the bed space in between him and Buffy, inviting her to get in with them. He looked to his left at Buffy, hoping she didn’t mind and this didn’t make her feel awkward. After all, they needed to spend some time together if they were both going to be such a big part of his life.

[/font][/size]atheryn 'Kathy' Anne O'Connor giggled.

The small vampire couldn’t help but really enjoy the situation in front of her, which was really weird. She wans’t used to seeing Liam with a huge smile on his face or hearing him laughing. Granted, she really wans’t used to seeing him in any capacity as before the past few days it had been over two hundred years since she had seen him, but the sentiment was still the same. Even as humans, he usually wore a smirk or a smile that was usually only directed at her. However it was nice to see him have a smile directed at someone else. She also couldn’t deny that it was cute to see Buffy laying on top of him just laughing…besides, he didn’t seem to mind a bit.

Kathy watched as Buffy rolled off of her brother and then giggled when he told her that she could never annoy him. “I see that as a challenge big brother!” She stated before ignoring the patting of his hand to come sit next to him and instead jumping right on top of him, grinning at the ‘OMF’ that came out of her brother when she landed on his stomach. “Sure I can’t annoy you Liam? I promise I’ve gotten even better at it over the years.” She stated with a giggle.

When did you last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes…take you wonder by wonder.

She heard her phone (where she had sat it down on the floor next to the door before walking in) ring and she jumped up, enjoying the breath of air that expelled from her brother as she jumped off of him and ran to her phone. “ANTHONY!” She yelled happily, grinning and dancing while talking to her friend. Hey baby girl. I am going to be in the Virginia area in the next month or so, you still going to be there? Kathy grinned and danced around even more, completely excited that her best (and really only) friend would be coming to visit. “As far as I know I should still be here. If things change I’ll let you know! Why are you coming here?” She asked him, her eyes on fire with happiness. To see you little love. Also I have some business in town. Kathy grinned. “Alright well I gotta go for now. I’m with my brother and his…girlfriend…friend…who knows what they re. I don’t think they know. But yeah, I got to go. I’ll call you tomorrow! LOVE YOU!” She stated before hanging up, her eyes on fire.

She turned back to Liam and Buffy and ran over, this time sitting in between the two. “Sorry, I’m back.” She stated like she had really left.

She could tell that the young girl was actually really happy to see her brother happy. It surprised her actually because with the fact that the two hadn’t seen each other in so long she would have thought (and had actually been worried) that Kathy would have been a bit jealous that there was someone else who took up a bit of his time and his heart. She would admit to constantly feeling jealous when she thought of Cordelia, Wesley and all the others who occupied Angel’s thoughts and heart now, so she was surprised that Kathy was jealous of her and Angel’s relationship.

With that being said however she was glad that she had been wrong and Kathy didn’t seem to be jealous of the fact that she spent time with Angel as well. She was glad that Kathy didn’t seem to resent her as she had resented her mother’s boyfriends (the two that she actually had). She was glad that Kathy seemed to actually genuinely like her as that would make things easier in the long run. Not that she would ever try to come between Angel and his sister, but she was glad that they could get along because she knew if there was a choice he would choose Kathy…and that’s exactly what he should do. She would choose Dawn over anyone, and had done so several times…so she knew exactly how he felt.

Buffy watched as Kathy took a running leap and landed on top of Angel, the bed bouncing with her. She laughed lightly at the look on her former…no…her boyfriend’s face. She felt giddy even thinking of him as her boyfriend and she knew that when she told Willow in the morning her face would be sparkling with happiness. Her eyes squinted a bit when she heard lyrics from a Disney song and her eyes widened when she heard what they said. She watched as Kathy bounced off of the bed (and Angel) and went to answer the phone. The blonde slayer took the opportunity to get more comfortable, leaving a space in between for when the young vampire came back so she wouldn’t knock the wind out of Angel again.

The conversation was brief but she could tell by the tightening of Angel’s eyes that he would be grilling his baby sister on the contents of said conversation. She rolled her eyes. Men were so protective.

She watched as Kathy put the phone down and sat down in between them. “Glad you’re back. Okay, so who is the person you were talking too and do you have a picture?” She asked, grinning. She knew she’d get shit from Angel later but she thought it was cute. Also she had always loved to drive Angel crazy. She had a feeling from the look on the little vampire’s face, that Kathy did too.

As his sister jumped on top of him he couldn't help but reply with an OMF. Even though he didn't really need to breath sometimes, it felt like he could still get the breath knocked out of him. "And you were always one for a challenge, weren't you Katheryn?" he asked, though it was more of a rhetorical question. He remembered her challenging his parents several times, calling them out on his contradictions. Girls back then didn't generally go very far education wise. Well Katheryn, she had stated that she would go to college and she would finish it. She wasn't a slacker and she loved having a challenge, this was no different, just more fun.

As he looked into her little eyes, he couldn't help but melt inside. She was just too sweet and too..innocent, even as a vampire. "I really doubt it, but your more than welcome to try."

A smile came across his face at that moment, making his handsome features that much more handsome. He swore, he had never smiled this much in his entire life. Right now with Katheryn and Buffy, he was the happiest he'd ever been. In fact he was worried that he was being a little too...happy. He knew that he had to have sex with Buffy to lose his soul. Still, being this happy scared him. He had never thought he could lose it any other way. However, he'd also never been this happy. Still, he tried to shake off these negative thoughts and just enjoy the moment for now. He'd ponder about it later.

The vampire then heard as his sister's ringtone went off, loudly. It was especially loud for vampires and he wondered why she even had it that loud. His was almost always on vibrate, he didn't even really have a ringtone. As he listened to her speaking on the phone, he turned to Buffy and quirked an eyebrow suspiciously. This Anthony guy seemed a bit too friendly perhaps. He wondered how old he was and why he was calling his baby sister love. "If hes coming to town, I think he should come to the house. I want to meet him"

[/color] Angel told Katheryn when she had returned to them. His voice was strict, there was no getting around this.

Then he thought that maybe he shouldn't be such a father figure, maybe she just wanted him to be her big brother. It hadn't been intentional but the way he'd spoken, it was as if a father was telling his daughter he wanted to meet her new boyfriend. "And what is that ringtone about?"[/color] he asked her with a chuckle, trying to lighten the mood back up.

As Katheryn setlled in to talk to them again, Buffy spoke up asking her about the man on the phone. Immediately his eyes slid sideways, looking at her at the side of his face. Even though he wasn't looking straight on he was definitely giving her a certain glare. "Please tell me you don't have a picture..."[/color] he told her, his voice trailing off into the distance and growing quieter. Honestly he didn't want to see his baby sister with some boy. Even if the boy was the nicest guy in the world, he had a feeling he still wouldn't like him. It was his baby sister after all.

Shifting his weight, he moved so that he was facing both of them and leaning on one side of the pillow. "And you, please don't encourage this?"[/color] As he said this to Buffy, he gave her 'the look'. He didn't want his sister to have a boyfriend. In his mind, she was still only eleven years old. God only knew how old this Anthony character was. He shuddered just thinking about it.[/color][/blockquote]

K

[/font][/size]atheryn 'Kathy' Anne O'Connor nodded her head.

“I am always up for a good challenge.” She told her older brother, laughing a bit as she did. “By the way, will you have a tree climbing contest with me tomorrow night? Like we did when we were young..human?” She asked with a laugh. It was something that they had done back when they were human. They would see who could climb up the top of a tree the fastest. Their father had always hated it because it wasn’t something a proper girl should do as he always said, but they tended to ignore him so they did it anyway. She had gotten her fair share of scrapes and bruises because of climbing trees, but it had always been fun!

Kathy giggled at Liam’s comment about not annoying him. “Oh, I’ll take that challenge. Trust me. I can be really annoying.” She stated with a laugh. “Trust me. I’ll walk in on you two all the time. Breaking up whatever alone time you two have. I’ll interrupt your phone calls, follow you around like a little puppy dog. Ask you to take me shopping. You have no idea the things I can do to annoy you.” She stated with a giggle.

The young vampire rolled her eyes at her older brother. “Of course you can meet him! He’s younger than you, I think he was turned when he was 18. He’s a really nice guy though!” She told him. She couldn’t help but relish in the security of allowing her older brother to tell her what to do. She knew most people wouldn’t like that, but she had always respected him much more than their father. She always had and that would always continue. If he told her to go downstairs and clean her room she would do it in a heartbeat, that was just the way she was. If anything he wasn’t her older brother, he was her father.

“Of course I have pictures of my friend!” She told her brother, rolling her eyes. She grabbed her phone and quickly brought up the gallery. She quickly scrolled through the few hundred pictures she had on her phone or so before pulling up the latest ones of her and Anthony.

“Here is one of us last Christmas.” She showed them, loving that picture and actually using that one as her wallpaper on her phone for awhile. “Here’s another one from that night.” She told them, her eyes shining as she flipped through the old pictures. “This is a picture from awhile ago.” She stated, laughing at the look on her face. “As you can see he has a think about picking me up..” She told them, well, more Buffy than anyone. “This one was only a few months ago right before I came here actually.” She told them, grinning. “As you can see he has a thing about funny hats too.” She stated with a laugh. This is an older one that I love..” She smiled before closing her phone. “Those are all the ones I have right now, though in my camera I have more.”

Kathy leaned back on the pillows, a yawn escaping her lips. “I’m sleepy.” She stated, her eyes drooping.

Buffy rolled her eyes at her boyfriend. Yeah, she would continue to think of him as that for a long time being that she was almost giddy at the idea of him and her being back together. They truly hadn’t been together in years. Even though they had been together on the forgotten day, and then the year before he left, they truly hadn’t had a good relationship since before he lost his soul. She knew he would agree with her on that too being that he had been so careful and distant afterward. He had stayed, but his heart hadn’t been in it all the way for fear he would lose himself again.

“Jeez Angel chill out.” She told him with a laugh. “All little girls have to grow up sometime.” She stated, winking at Kathy conspiratorially. Alright, really she was only doing this to annoy the hell out of Angel. She herself would be the first one to admit that she hated anytime Dawn talked about boys…and she was 19. She couldn’t imagine how he felt with Kathy talking about boys (even though it was clear that they were just friends at least in her eyes) being that she was 11 and they hadn’t seen each other in 200 and some odd years. Either way, she couldn’t help but mess with him.

She could see the glare coming from his eyes but she couldn’t help it, she found joy in torturing him like this. Besides, it was all fun and games. He would take it out on her later in a sparring match she was sure and they’d be all good again…it was just the way that they were towards each other. Spike had said it best which was surprising being what context he had said it. However either way, it was true and she had always known it. You’ll be in love till it kills you both. You’ll fight, and you’ll shag, and you’ll hate each other till it makes you quiver but you’ll never be friends. Love isn’t brains children, it’s blood. Blood screaming inside you to work its will.. It was true though, in all contexts.

She smiled at the pictures that Kathy showed them, knowing that Angel was going to have a stroke when she saw some of them…especially the ones with Kathy in the other boys arms. Yeah, this was not going to over well. However before she could open her mouth she felt Kathy lay down next to her and close her eyes. She wanted to aww but instead she instinctively pushed a piece of hair out of the young girls’ eyes. “Yeah, it’s getting late.” She stated with a smile. “I’ve got to be up in…” She stated, looking over at her alarm clock and groaning. “5 hours for work.” She rolled her eyes. “I’m not going to be pleasant in the morning.”

She was definitely always up for a challenge, he didn't doubt that one bit. Many times during their human period she had taken him up on many a different challenges. This would be no different this time, nor would it be any other time. They were vampires now yes but they were still siblings. Oh, their tree climbing contests. They had had so many throughout their human lives, much to the dismay of their father. "Of course, I've missed beating your butt." A quiet, solid chuckle came with the end of his sentence. Sibling rivalry was still in touch to this day between the two. Even though she was younger, that just meant she should be able to climb faster up the tree. Because of this, he didn't feel bad taunting his baby sister.

His eyes widened as she described how she was basically just going to make his life difficult from now on. "Well...that doesn't sound so bad. Except for the shopping, that's Buffy's department."

With a small smile and a laugh he then looked over to Buffy. "You two can go shopping and have at it, I'll stay right here."Shopping wasn't his thing. He remembered back in Los Angeles when he had bought Cordelia a rack full of clothes. She'd been feeling so low and had gone through a lot at that time. Even then, he'd basically just given the sales lady a credit card and she'd picked everything out. He didn't exactly have a sense of fashion and usually wore the same things everyday. Hell, he didn't like shopping for anything, not just clothes.

This Anthony was turned at eighteen? Katheryn was turned at eleven years old. How did that even seem right to this Anthony fellow? "....eighteen?"

[/color] he managed to sputter out. Other than that, he currently had no words for her. Honestly he didn't even know if they were anything past friends. All he knew was that their was a vampire calling his sister 'love' which he was not a fan of. When she pulled out her phone and started to show him and Buffy pictures of the two, Angel thought he was going to have a stroke.

Alright so it's not like they were making out or something. In all honesty, the photos were pretty much harmless. Still they bothered him a bit. Even if they weren't doing anything wrong, he wasn't fond of his sister hanging out with a boy. "Alright, I think that's enough share time."[/color] And as he said this, he looked away from the pictures. He couldn't help but he didn't feel like looking at them right now. In a way he felt like a father to Katheryn. What father liked looking at pictures of his daughter with an older boy? No father he had ever met or even heard of.

Chill out? Yeah right. When Buffy told him to chill out he only glared at her. Why was she encouraging this behavior? She was only eleven years old in his eyes and he wasn't sure if that would ever change. "It is getting late, we should all hit the sack."[/color] Katheryn was looking very sleep, as was Buffy. She had to be to work in less than eight hours from now. "Katheryn, are you staying with us?"[/color] he then asked her. He didn't mind if she wanted to sleep with them.

In fact...he just realized that he'd basically invited himself into Buffy's bed. She had never actually asked him to stay the night with her. Hopefully, he hadn't been going too far by assuming they'd be sleeping together tonight. After how good their night had been, he had just figured she'd want to be next to him. He that he definitely wanted to be next to her. And Katheryn sleeping with them only made things even better.

K

[/font][/size]atheryn 'Kathy' Anne O'Connor yawned before shaking her head.

“You never beat me! You always cheated!” She told her older brother with a pout. Her pout turned into a giggle when he told her that he would let Buffy take her shopping. “You going to give us your credit card to do it?” She asked with one small eyebrow raised. She didn’t actually need his credit card since she had her own money, but she again had to mess with him. It was her job as his little sister and she took her job very seriously. She grinned at him. “Are you sure you don’t want to come with us? I could take you to get a makeover. You are looking sorta old big brother.” She told him with a giggle, before yawning again.

She pouted a bit when he told her that share time was over. “I look cute in those pictures thank you very much Mr. Butthead!” She told him, sticking her tongue out for emphasis. Yeah, she was starting to act like a brat and she knew it…that’s what happened when she got tired. It had always been like that. When she got tired and she got cranky…it was how he had always known when it was her bedtime back in Ireland.

She hadn’t realized how extremely tired she was. She usually stayed up all night and slept all day but it seemed that just like her brother, her internal clock was getting all messed up since she had been up for most of the day hanging out with him. She knew that he had been worried all day about Buffy so he had been a bit distracted but still, they had a really good day and now she was tired. Add to that the excitement of the night where she had gotten really annoyed, it didn’t surprise her that she was ready for bed.

Kathy heard her brother’s question and nodded her head sleepily. “Yes, but can you sleep in the middle? I like to be on the edge and that way Buffy and I can both sleep next to you.” She told him, standing up and sliding off the bed, not giving him a chance to answer as she pushed his side a bit to give him the hint that she wanted him to slide over. Once he did she got back in the bed, snuggling up next to him. “Night Angel, Night Buffy. Love you.” She stated before slipping off to sleep, conking right out as soon as she was comfortable.

She grinned as Angel told them they could go shopping without him. “You know I can’t even imagine you in a mall?” She asked with a sardonic grin. She really did try to picture it and it was literally laughable. She honestly had never really thought about him shopping before other than the night a few years back when she had run into him while she had been shopping and he had been haunted by the first, but really that was simply a passing thought, nothing she had completely gone in depth about. Now however, she couldn’t help but laugh a bit. “Yeah, you in your black duster and black pants…can’t see that going well with the people in Bath and Body Works.” She stated before burying her head in the pillow, her back shaking with the effort it took to stop laughing.

Buffy quirked an eyebrow at Angel when he mentioned that the boy in the pictures was 18. “Yes, because you have room to talk Mr. Let’s Sneak Into A 16 Year Old Girl’s Room And You’re 241 Years Old.” She told him with a grin. “Yeah, so shush. Leave her alone.” She told him, her eyes telling him to leave it be and they would hash it out later. She really didn’t want to see a fight between him and his sister and she wanted to make sure he thought things through before he tried to take her away from really the only friend she had known in over two hundred years.

She saw the glare that Angel shot her when she told him to chill out but she just rolled her eyes at him. Yes, his baby sister was back and she was glad that he was protective of her as she was protective of Dawn and for some reason was fiercely protective all of a sudden of Kathy as well, but that didn’t mean he needed to hound her. Unless Kathy wanted him too and that was their business to deal with. She was definitely not getting into the middle of a sibling squabble. Those in Sunnydale knew not to get in the middle of her and Dawn’s battles and she knew enough not to get in the middle of other sibling battles. If she thought Angel was truly serious she wouldn’t open her mouth, but it was always extremely fun to annoy him. She had always gotten a kick out of that.

Buffy was surprised but pleased when Angel invited himself as well as Kathy to sleep in her bed. She grinned and nodded at him, letting him know that it was alright. She giggled when Kathy slid out of bed and tried to push her older brother in the middle. Buffy figured she would help her out and grabbed Angel’s arm, dragging him to the middle. She watched as Kathy slipped back onto the bed and curled up against Angel’s side, her head resting against his chest. Buffy mirrored her position once Angel settled down and laid her head on the other side of his chest. She watched as Kathy slowly fell asleep, muttering goodnight to the both of them. Her heart wrenched when her small voice told Angel she loved him.

Once Kathy was asleep Buffy turned her attention up at Angel. “Night Love.” She told him before leaning up, giving him a peck on the lips. “I love you Angel.” She told him before putting her head back on his chest and closing her eyes, falling asleep in the arms of the love of her life, happy for the first time since she had been back from heaven.

It made him feel warm inside watching him here with both of his girls. The way that Katheryn tried to annoy him had the opposite effect. In fact, she was just too damn adorable to possibly annoy him. "Me, cheat? Never" he said with a sly smile. He had just been thinking about his credit card and then his sister mentioned it. Sometimes, it was a little freaky how well she knew him. Even though they'd been apart this long they still knew each other. Sometimes it was almost as if they could read each other's minds, like he could with Buffy. "If that means I don't have to go, I'd willingly hand it over."

He still had quite a bit of money left over from running Wolfram & Hart. It wasn't much but with the way Angel spent money, it'd last him a while.


His head spun to look towards Buffy, giving her the stink eye. "Hey. I've been in a mall, once. I take offense to that"

[/color] he told her with a small laugh. When he'd shopped for Cordelia he'd been inside a mall. Granted he hadn't actually looked through the clothes or even really picked them out at all, but he'd still been there. Of course he'd dressed in a bit more color for that outing.

Hearing that he looked old didn't surprise him. Even though physically he hadn't changed since being turned, he had indeed grown older mentally. Between battle wounds and just plain mental stress, his eyes appeared much older than they once did. It was the same way for Buffy, as he was sure it was for any champion. "Well, I am pushing three hundred, has to happen sometime."[/color] He said this with a wise look in his eyes, acknowledging that he had changed over the years. Physically he was still the same age but not at heart. His heart was tired and worn out, he just wanted to be with his girls now.

God, he couldn't remember the last time he'd been called a butthead. Buffy had probably called him it or something similar throughout their time together. However other than that, he never had. Back when Katheryn and himself had been alive they hadn't spoken like that. As soon as he heard Buffy's comment, he wished she wouldn't have said it. That was making him look like quite the hypocrite. Plus, what kind of example did that set? Immediately his eyes darted to Kathy, "that never happened, shes joking, I swear."[/color] He knew that he wasn't very believable but he'd felt like he had to at least try.

"Goodnight Katheryn, I love you."[/color] As he said this, he gave her his signature kiss on the forehead. He always gave her a kiss on the forehead when he told her goodnight. He always had, always would, it was what he was used to. Buffy then laid against him as well, both of them lying their heads on his chest. Immediately his heart just melted into his chest. I love you Buffy, you'll always be my girl"[/color] he told her as he returned her kiss. As they both drifted off to sleep, he watched them for a moment, just thinking to himself.

This was literally the happiest he'd ever been. Never in his life had he imagined he'd end up here. With both his true love and soul-mate, and his baby sister. Katheryn was actually more like a daughter. So between her and Buffy, it was like he was able to have a little family. He felt so at peace with them and after a few more minutes, he drifted off to sleep as well.

When he woke up, he knew something was wrong. Both of the girls were still on his chest. He screamed out in pain, pushing them both off of him as he shot up in bed. He felt himself slipping away and at first, he didn't know what was happening to him.

As he felt another shot of pain he realized what was happening. He was losing his soul.

He cried out again before he looked to Buffy, his eyes pleading with hers. "You need to take Katheryn and go"[/color] he told her. Another shot of pain hit him again, this time he screamed. "GO NOW"[/color] he screamed even louder this time, begging her to just listen to him. He didn't know how this was happening, but he suspected it was because he was so happy with them. Right now he didn't have time to think. He fell to the floor, grasping onto the edge of the bed, belting out in pain. Barely able to keep his head up, he turned one last time to make sure Buffy had gotten Katheryn out of the room, and hopefully out of the house.

She was having a really strange dream. Not because she didn’t know the meaning of it, no, it was weird because she had had this dream before. No, make that dreams…because her dream was actually a segment of different dreams she had had over the years…and none of them sat well even in her subconscious. Now now. Hands off my presents. NO! ANGEL!

The next one she could clearly remember. She was on a beach, looking out at the ripping of the tides. Arms wrapped around her stomach and a voice she hadn’t heard in a long time started to speak to her. How did you find me here? If I was blind I would see you. Stay with me. Forever, that's the whole point. I'll never leave, not even if you kill me. She hated that dream, hated it when it happened and she hated it now. She desperately wanted to wake up but nothing was allowing her too. Her subconscious was trying to tell her something but for the life of her she had no idea what it was.

The next dream was another one she had had before. Again, she knew what this one meant but she had no idea why she was dreaming it. Why these dreams on this night? Something was pulling at her subconscious but she refused to listen, not liking the implications of it. I thought they'd be here. They are...they're waiting for you. Am I dreaming? I'm probably the wrong person to ask. You better go. I'm afraid. You should be.

The next one was one of the worst dreams she had ever had, clearly matching up with the reality of what she had ever done, something she wasn't sure if Angel had truly forgiven her for doing. I miss you. I had too. I loved you. Oh god Angel. GO TO HELL! I did.

The last one was worse…because it wasn’t a dream. No, it was a nightmare. Her own personal nightmare…one that she had lived…that she had caused…and one that she would never get over. Buffy? What's going on? Where are we? I-I don't remember. Angel? You're hurt. Oh Buffy, god, I feel like I haven't seen you in months. God everything's so muddled I...oh...Buffy. What's happened? Shhh...Don't worry about it. I love you. I love you. Close your eyes. She could hear her own words as she watched the silent exchange of her shoving the sword through Angel’s chest. Her words that were spoken over two different years. Angel was cured. When I killed him. Angel was cured. Your spell worked at the last minute Will. I was about to take him out and uh, something went through him, and he was Angel again. He-he didn't remember anything he had done...he just held me. Um, but it was too late and I-I had too. So I told him that I loved him, and then I kissed him, and then I killed him.

She wasn’t sure how she could understand everything that was being said, but she knew exactly what it was. I killed Angel. Do you even remember that? I would have given up everything I had to be with...I loved him more than I will ever love anything in this life. And I stuck a sword through his heart because I had too!

She watched as the final blow came and the sword went through Angel’s chest before she was ceremoniously thrown off the bed. She groaned and looked up, opening her mouth to make some snide comment but before she could she saw Angel writhing in pain and Kathy standing there with eyes wide. She heard Angel screaming at her to take Kathy and go and she knew. She knew. “Oh god.” She stated, her eyes pleading with him to hold on, to do something, but she knew there was nothing he could do. He was losing himself again, because of her again. “NO!” She screamed, tears streaming down her face.

His words sank in and she quickly pulled Kathy to her, wanting nothing more than to stay and help him, not even knowing how. But she knew, she knew she had to get his sister out of there. She wouldn’t let her be witness to this. “We have to go. Now.” She stated and grabbed her hand, pulling her along. Kathy struggled, screaming for Angel but she held tightly, finally picking the young girl up. “It’s going to be okay, it’s going to be okay.” She kept repeating, grabbing her purse from beside the door and bolting out the door, putting Kathy in the passenger seat of the car before throwing herself into the driver’s seat, gunning the engine and driving away.

Tears streamed down her face as she drove away, her mind a complete blank. Her dreams had been trying to warn her, and she had ignored him. Not that it would have done any good being that she had no notice, but she should have known. God why did they have to suffer like this? Why did he!? “FUCK!” She screamed, slamming her hands against the steering wheel before calming as she heard a whimper. Buffy, we have to go back! She shook her head. “We can’t. He’ll kill us.” She told her, before crying out. “He was losing his soul Kathy. The man who now wears his face, is the man who killed you and tried to kill me. That’s not Angel…it’s Angelus.” She stated before speeding even more, jumping on the highway and heading towards another town over. She had to find someplace far away to stay before sunrise. She had to make sure Kathy was safe. She would make plans tomorrow.

She would call Willow when they were safe. She just had to find a place to keep Kathy safe.

It’s what Angel would have wanted.

Buffy seemed to know what was happening, possibly even before he did. Immediately she pulled Katheryn close to her and held onto her tightly. He watched as his baby sister screamed for him, not wanting to leave him. She didn't understand what was happening to him. Everything was happening so quickly that Angel wasn't really sure if this was happening.

Then, a thought hit him; was this all a dream? Was he just dreaming all of this up because he was nervous? Being back together with Buffy brought up a lot of bad memories. Back when they'd first made love together and he'd lost his soul. Being so near to her reminded him of this memory, which he hated. Was this just a manifestation of such nervousness? Or was this real? He couldn't be sure, not right now. Again he belted out in pain, grunting loudly. It felt like his insides were tearing him apart. As if, he was going to just burst inside. Something was trying to make it's way out of him. He knew what it was and he knew that it wasn't good.

As Buffy lifted Katheryn off the bed, she looked to him with a desperation in her eyes. He knew that look all too well. She wanted to stay, she wanted to help him. "Please -- go" he croaked out quietly. His eyes made his way to hers, trying to make tell her he loved her without saying it. He would have said it if he could but he was in too much pain. Next he looked to Katheryn, his eyes apologetic. She had only arrived a week or two ago and already he was ending their time together. Although he hadn't done it on purpose, he had ruined everything. His life had just finally gotten to a good place. Now, he was turning into a monster again.

Previously he'd been leaning his head on the edge of the bed for support. After receiving a hell of a shot of pain, he collapsed onto the floor fully. With one last scream he felt himself change. Angel was no more, he was gone, for who knew how long.

Angelus was here now.

Angelus looked around the room wildly. Then he looked down at his clothes before chuckling softly. He was glad to be back, it had been too long. His stomach growled from beneath as he stood up and steadied himself. He remembered changing, he remembered watching Buffy run with his...sister. His sister that he thought he'd killed over two hundred years ago. He'd fix that mistake later. Right now, he needed to eat. It had been far too long since he'd had a good meal.

Then he remembered something. This house was full of slayers. Slayers who haven't had much training, who hadn't even begun to learn of their full potential. He doubted that Buffy had stopped to get any of them out, which actually shocked him. She'd been too worried about his damn sister. That was lucky for him he supposed.

Silently he strolled out into the hallway. He then went room to room, slaughtering every single one of them. Screams erupted throughout the house. When one heard the other scream, they came running to help. Unfortunately for them they made it two feet into the room and were immediately decimated. After he'd killed them all, he stepped back and enjoyed the scenery. The house was a mess, it clearly showed how hungry he had been. Blood was streaked all down the walls of the hallway and the bedrooms. As he walked, he walked through puddles of it, splashing underneath his socks.

Returning to Buffy's room, he decided to pay her a bit of tribute. He then went back and gathered all of the bodies. Next he brought all of five of them into her room, laying them on the floor. One by one he put them into Buffy's clothing and then placed them around the room. Three of them were on the bed, propped up as if they were chatting. Another was leaning against the wall and the last was sitting in a chair in the corner of the room. He placed stakes in their hands, just for fun. Lastly he used some of their blood to write a message on the wall. After he had finished, he strolled downstairs to where his pathetic earlier self had been sleeping. He changed into some lame, clean clothes and then left the house. Right now, he was going to find something to wear. He'd kill Buffy and his sister later, he wanted her to see his message.

The message read: "Wish it would have been you, lover"
