Disclaimer: I don’t nor have I ever owned Buffy and Co. in this story. They belong to the WB and Joss. If you didn’t already know that then you are not a true fan. Info: this is placed after Suprise but before Innocence. I have 4 words for you BUFFY AND ANGEL FOREVER!!!
P.S.I started writing this story in August before the third season even started so this has nothing to do with the new show coming out.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Chapter 1
Spike and Dru sat together at the table in the old factory looking through some books. "I don’t know what to do, pet. Everytime we try to do something that Slayer butts in and ruins everything." Spike said, frustrated.
"And she has my Angel helping her." Dru whispered. "I wonder... what if we went after Angel?" Spike thought aloud, "The Slayer’s real protective of him."
"Spike, lets bring some people from Angel’s past back." Dru said, liking the idea of torturing him.
"Dru that’s impossible that’s... what a minute let me think about this."
Spike reconsidered, I think I know a way that might work, but who should we bring back?"
"I know," Dru said with a smile, "lets bring back some of the people that Angel killed."
That’s a great idea, pet." Spike laughed.

Meanwhile Buffy, Giles, Ms. Calendar, and Willow were all in the library.
"How many heads did it have?" Giles asked very seriously.
"I don’t really know, I mean they just kept multiplying. I finally just staked it." Buffy said, uncaringly. Ms. Calendar stood against a book self listening to them talk, while Willow sat next to Buffy at the table. "Buffy you don’t-" Giles was interrupted by the door opening and closing.
"Hey guys, what’s going on?" Xander asked in his cheerful voice as he walked into the library with Cordelia.
"Not much, Giles is lecturing me about vamps with more than one head."
"Looks like we got here just in time."
"Well, I thank you and I’m fixing to leave before the lecture starts up again." Buffy said as she hopped of the table.
"Buffy, I’m not finished talking to you." Giles said.
"Giles, we can go over this later, right now I have to patrol and then go home so my mom doesn’t find out that I’m not there. Okay?" Buffy asked.
"Quite right. Well, we’ll talk about this before homeroom tomorrow."
"Yes Sir!" Buffy saluted sarcastically.
Giles didn’t respond because he was looking at someone behind Buffy as was everyone else in the room. Buffy turned around to see what had everyone’s attention and saw Angel.
"Hey, I thought I might find you here." Angel said to Buffy in his sweet, low, sexy voice. Buffy smiled slightly, happy that he had been looking for her.
"Well, I was just fixing to leave. I have to patrol tonight." Buffy said trying to control her excitement, she loved it when Angel came with her.
"Would you like some company?" Angel asked, hopefully.
"Sure, I’d love some." Buffy smiled even bigger. She turned to the rest of the gang, "Night you guys, I’ll see you tomorrow." Then she turned back around and walked out of the library arm in arm with Angel.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Chapter 2
Back at the factory Spike and Dru had decided who to bring back. "Okay, once more, we’re going to bring back Angel’s mom, dad, older brother, and younger sister, right?" Spike asked Dru.
"Yeah." Dru smiled. And they began the ritual to bring Angel’s family back to life.
***** (At the Cemetery)
Buffy and Angel were walking together through the graveyard. They finally just sat down on one of the headstones to keep a look out for anything supernatural. Buffy leaned in towards Angel and he put his arm around her to draw her closer.
"Something doesn’t feel right. I can’t explain it but it feels like
everything just became
cold." Buffy said to Angel with a sense of dread.
"Angel forget about it. We got rid of the Judge. He can’t hurt us
anymore."
Buffy said as
she pulled him towards her.
“I know, but I just can’t forget about how worried I was about you.”
Angel
whispered as
he drew Buffy closer to him.
“Yeah, I know how you feel.” Buffy whispered back. Angel smiled and
pulled
her against
him for a passionate kiss. About five minutes later Buffy had to come
up for
air. She
took Angel’s hand and began walking a couple of steps.
“Buffy, it’s getting late maybe you should go home.” Angel said when
he
could speak
normally again.
“I know but I don’t want to leave.” Buffy told Angel, sadly.
“I know but I’ll see you tomorrow, I promise.” Angel replied knowing
that
they would
have to part soon anyway.
“Okay I’ll go, but will you walk me home?” Buffy asked hopefully.
“Sure.” Angel said as he put his arm around Buffy.

Chapter 3
“Oh Great Dark One, I call you for we need you to awaken. We have
come
to you
for we need your help.” Spike read out of an old book. A bright red
light
appeared,
surrounding about eight feet of the old factory.
“We need your help to raise certain people from the grave.”
The red light became brighter.
“We have a enemy that we want revenge on. His name is Angelus and we
want to
raise
his family. This includes his parents, older brother, and younger
sister. We
want feel the
unbearable pain.”
The red light grew brighter until it flickered once and then was gone.
“Well, I guess that means that the Dark One will do as we ask.” Spike
said to
Dru.
Buffy and Angel were almost to Buffy’s house when a group of vampire’s
fell
from
the trees around them.
“Okay,” Buffy said, a little concerned,”what are they doing so close to
the
residential
area.”
The vampires moved closer together to form a tight circle around their
prey.
“This is really bad, Buffy. There’s a lot more of them than there are
of us.”
Angel said,
with a grim look.
One of the vamps moved forward slightly towards Buffy. As one Buffy and
Angel
moved
towards him, Buffy because of her sacred duty and Angel because he
wanted to
protect
Buffy. However, neither Angel or Buffy saw the vampire move towards
them from
behind.
When they made a move towards the vamp in front of them the one behind
them
was
waiting to grab Buffy.
“Angel!” Buffy yelled as she felt her feet leave the ground.
Angel stopped his movement towards the vampire and jerked himself around
in
the
direction of Buffy’s voice.
“Buffy!” Angel cried with deep concern as he saw the vampire lift Buffy
in a
bear hug
from behind.
the vampire squeezed the breath from Buffy’s lungs. Angel started to
move
towards the
vamp holding Buffy, but all the other vamps circled around him to keep
him
away. All
Angel could do was watch helplessly as Buffy struggled unsuccessfully
and
gasped for
breath.
“Angel..” Buffy whispered as she began to lose consciousness.
Angel knew that if he didn’t try to help Buffy then she would die, but
if he
did help both
of them could die. For Angel, however, there was no choice, he had to
help
Buffy.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
CHAPTER 4
Angel let his face slip into his ‘game face’ and with a growl through
himself
at the
vamp closest to him. The vamp that held the slayer tightened his grip
enough
to cause
her to pass out. Then he through her on the ground so that he could
help the
other
vampires overpower Angel, but Angel was enraged and concerned for Buffy,
there
was no
stopping him. Angel punched one vamp in front of him then turned and
kicked
another
vamp behind him. The handsome vampire with a soul realized that he had
to get
a stake
if he was going to defeat the vampires. He spotted Buffy’s slayage bag
a
couple of feet
away. He knocked two vamps down by kicking them at the knees. Then he
hurried
towards the bag that would save his and Buffy’s lives. Just as he
reached the
bag a
vamp came up and punched him from the side without warning. Angel
retaliated
by
kicking the vamp in the stomach, then he quickly reached into the
slayage bag
and pulled
out a stake. Just as Angel straightened he saw the vamp that had held
Buffy
and he
moved towards him. The vamp saw that Angel was headed for him and he
tensed
in
anticipation. Angel moved straight towards the vamp and before he could
make
a move
Angel punched him full in the face. the vamp jerked back, but was only
stunned for a
moment. The vamp came back at Angel growling and punched him in the
stomach
then
right in the face. Angel fell backwards, but caught himself at the last
second. He through
himself forward at the vamp and grabbed his arm then through the vamp on
the
ground
and staked him in the heart. When the other vampires saw that there
leader
had been
defeated they turned and fled in panic. Angel turned and saw Buffy
laying on
the ground
not far away and ran over to her.
+++++++++++
CHAPTER 5
“Buffy, Buffy can you hear me?” Angel said earnestly.
Buffy had to be okay. Angel couldn’t begin to imagine a world without
her.
He checked
her pulse, praying he would find it beating steadily. He did, however
it was
a little weak.
He rolled her over onto her back and made sure that she was breathing
okay.
Then he
tried to wake her up again.
“Buffy. Hey, Buff wake up.” Angel said softly. “Come on Buff please
wake
up, I need
you to be okay.”
“Buffy, come on the world needs you, I need you.”
Then Angel saw her eyes flicker.
“Buffy, come on I know you're there.”
Buffy sighed and turned her head toward Angel’s voice.
“Come on Buff.”
Buffy’s eyes opened and focused on Angel after a minute.
“Buffy.” Angel breathed.
“Angel?” Buffy asked, coughing and breathing in air.
“I’m here Buffy, everything’s okay.” Angel said, very relieved. “Let’s
get
you home.” He
continued as he picked Buffy up in his arms.
“Hey I think I like this.” Buffy said playfully.
Angel smiled his cute little boy half smile, thinking how much he loved
this
Slayer. Angel
carried Buffy home and sat with her on the porch for a while. Buffy
cuddled
close to
Angel breathing in the night air. She loved it when it was peaceful
like
this. No vamps,
just her and Angel, together. Angel closed his eyes too and pulled
Buffy
close, but he
had darker thoughts. He couldn’t believe how close he had come to
losing
Buffy. He
didn’t know what he would have done if things had gone differently.
Just what
if Buffy
hadn’t waken up? It scared Angel too much to even think about. I love
you,
Buffy. Angel
said to himself, and I don’t know I’d do without you.
********************
CHAPTER 6
The next day at school Buffy met up with her friends before class.
“Hey, Buff how did everything go last night?” Xander asked.
“Well everything was pretty quiet until Angel was walking me home.”
Buffy
said thinking
about how quiet and peaceful it had been with just her and Angel.
“Maybe you should stop hanging out with him, he always gets you in
trouble.”
Xander
said half-joking.
Buffy smiled at that and continued. “When we got to the residental a
big
group of vamps
surrounded us. One of the vamps picked me up from behind in a bear hug.
Then
I
passed out and the next thing I saw when I woke up was Angel trying to
wake me
up and
none of the vamps around.”
“Buffy, are you okay?” Willow asked in concern.
“Yes, I’m fine. I’m glad Angel was there.”
“Are you going to tell Giles about what happened?” Xander asked.
“Yeah, I’m supposed to meet him after first period today.” Buffy told
them.
#########
At the factory spike and Dru were woken up by people walking and
talking.
“What is that?” Spike asked angerily.
Dru rolled out of the bed and headed for the door and Spike followed
slowly.
When they
came out of the bedroom they saw four people walking around like they
were
lost.
“What are you doing here?” Spike asked in a harsh voice.
“We-we don’t know, I don’t understand what’s going on. The last thing I
remember
happening is Angel came in and I said something to him and then his face
changed and
he attacked me.” said an older lady softly.
“Well, well, so you must be Angel’s family.” Spike said happily.
“Yes, we are although I must say I don’t know what’s going on.” the
older man
said.
“Well I can tell you, but first we should all introduce ourselves. My
name is
Spike and
this is Dru.”
“I’m Cameron, Angel’s father and this is my wife Mary. This is our
oldest son
Miles, you
already know our other son, and this is our daughter Kelsy.”
“You have ‘no’ idea how happy I am to meet you.” Spike said with a
delighted
look on
his face.
“How exactly do you know our son, and why are we here.” Cameron said.
The little girl wondered around the factory exploring. Dru watched her
carefully.
“I always liked children.” she whispered.
Meanwhile Spike began to explain Angel’s fathers question.
“We know your son because he is a vampire. He created us. We were once
friends, but
then he turned against us and is helping to destory us.”
“Vampire? Are you sure?” Mary questioned.
“Yes, I’m sure.” Spike said. “He turned me and Dru into vampires.”
Okay,” Cameron said,”but why are we here?”
“Because, Angel has regained his soul so now he feels and cares, he
feels
guilty about
everything he did. I want to make him suffer.” Spike said hatefully.
“Why do you call him Angel?” the little girl asked.
“What do you mean?” Spike asked with a confused look.
“Well, his name is Angelus and you call him Angel. That’s not his
name.” the
little girl
said logically.
“Oh,” Spike said,”because that’s the name that he goes by.”
“TONIGHT we find Angel.” Spike said with a cruel laugh.
CHAPTER 7
That night Buffy and Angel met Giles at the library.
“Okay, one more time. You were walking home and when you got to the
residental area,
a group of vampires attacked you.” Giles repeated for the umptenth
time.
“Yeah, Giles, why would a bunch of vamps be hanging out in a residental
area.”
Buffy
asked.
“Well, I don’t know, i think that this is a sign that something’s going
to
happen.” Giles
said.
“Yeah, this could be a sign, I mean it’s not enerynight that you find
vamps in
a residental
area, but also they were in a group.” Angel said trying to help.
“Okay, well that’s all we know so far,” Buffy said,”so I’m going to
patrol
some and see if
we can’t find anything else and you can start researching.”
“I’ll go with you.” Angel said to Buffy.
Buffy smiled happy to know that he cared about her.
“Okay, if we don’t find anything then I’ll just see you tomorrow.”
Buffy said
to Giles as
she and Angel were leaving.
“Okay.” Giles said already involved in his reaseach.
***********
CHAPTER 8
“You know this all really creeps me. I mean why would vamps be hanging
out
in a
neighborhood? No one comes out at night, they’re all asleep.” Buffy
said to
Angel as
they walked out of the school towards the cemetary.
“Well, some people work at night. What bothers me is that they seemed
to be
after us.
They didn’t attack until they could surround us and they knew exactly
how to
seperate
us.” Angel explained.
“Either way I don’t like it.” Buffy whined a little.
They reached the cemetary and climbed over the wall.
“I don’t know why we’re even here.” Buffy mumbled.
Angel smiled his lopsided smile that made Buffy forget her name and took
her
hand to
lead her to the center of the cemetary. This way they could reach any
part of
the
cemetary in record time.
***********
“Xander!” Willow said into the phone,”Would you stop it. I’m sure
Buffy’s
fine.”
“I’m not so sure. I mean vamps in the neighborhood. Ya know I never
did like
Angel.”
“Xander, you’ve gotta stop this, Buffy loves Angel. I just think that
you’re
jealous.
Anyways I gotta go. I want to call oz before it gets to late.”
“But Willow...”
Bye Xander. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” Willow said as she hung up.
“Man.” Xander said to himself as he hung up the phone.
He knew that he would never get Buffy, and he was okay with that, but
sometimes he still
needed to release a little steam. If he was totally honest with himself
he
had to admit that
he actually considered Angel a friend. He knew that if any of them were
in
trouble Angel
would be ther to save them. He only said mean things about Angel
because it
was
expected of him, besides if he didn’t do it who would?
##########
Buffy and Angel sat together on the steps of the mausoleum. They
weren’t
really
talking, just enjoying one anothers company. They had just been sitting
there
for about a
hour and hadn’t seen anything. Not that Buffy was complaining, but she
hated
being on
patrol when nothing was going on. Maybe she and Angel could ditch this
patrol
thing in
a couple of more minutes and hang out together like normal people.
Buffy was
about to
say this to Angel when they heard a scream to their left. They were
running
towards the
scream, before it was cut off. When they reached the scene they saw a
young
vamp
attacking a young noraml, but slightly hysterical girl. Buffy in full
slayer
mode launched
herself at the vamp. As Buffy tackled the vamp, Angel got the girl away
and
told her to
run home. The girl needed very little urging. Buffy had her full
attention
on the vampire
in front of her. She kicked at him, but he blocked. Then she pinched
him in
the face. The
vampires head snapped back, but he was only stunned for a moment. He
punched
her in
the stomach then in the face. Buffy fell backwards, but the vampire was
dumb
enough
not to have finished the attack. Buffy had a stake in her hand and was
back
on her feet
before the vamp had even thought of his next move. Buffy kicked the
vampire
in the side
the kicked his legs out from under him. The vampire fell gracelessly
with his
arms spread
wide leaving Buffy free to stake him. Angel came to stand by Buffy just
as
the vamp
turned to dust. Buffy turned to Angel with a smile, “And I thought it
was a
no-action
night.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CHAPTER 9
Miss. Calander walked into the library in a huff.
“You know, England, if you weren’t going to show up for our date you
could have
called.”
“What?” Giles asked as he looked up from the book he was involved in,
completely
clueless.
“We had a date tonight, but apparantly you perfer the company of all
these
musty old
books to going somewhere with me.”
“Jenny, no I’m sorry I forgot all about it. Buffy and Angel came by and
told
me what
happened to them last night.”
“Oh, well...you still should have called.”
"Yes, well, I apoligize.”
“Okay. So what happened last night?”
“Well, it appears that Buffy and Angel ran into some vampires in a
residental
area.”
"And this is different because...”
“Well, vampires don’t usually woander around neighborhoods where there’s
not
much
prey. In addition to that it was quite a large group and very
organized.”
“So, do you think there might just be a new leader in town?”
“That is a possiblity. I’m reseaching it right now actually.”
“Well, maybe I could help.”
“Maybe...”
#############
“Spike,” Drusilla called in her sing-song voice, “the little girl
doesn’t
want to play
tea party.” Spike walked over and put his arms around her.
“I know, pet, why don’t you go play with Miss. Edith right now and I’ll
talk
to the people,
okay?”
“Okay. Miss. Edith has been good today. Time for a party.” Drusilla
said to
herself as
she walked off towards her bedroom. Spike watched her go, then he
turned to
the family
sitting together at the large table.
“Well, you people aren’t very friendly, now are you?” he said as he
moved to
them.
“We don’t exactly know whats going on here.” Cameron said.
“Doesn’t matter, you do as we say. Now I’m going to go get Dru and
we’re out
of here.”
Spike replied.
#############
Chapter 10
Angel and Buffy had moved to the Bronze to meet up with Xander,
Cordelia, and
Willow. (Oz had a gig at the Bronze tonight.)
“Hey guys, what’s going on?” Buffy asked as she and Angel came up to
the
table where
the gang was sitting.
“Not much, just sitting here talking and listening to Oz play.” Willow
answered with a
smile that lite up her face.
“So, was there any action tonight?” Xander asked. “Oh, probably not,
except
between
you and Angel.” Willow reached over and hit Xander up side the head.
“Xander.” Buffy warned as she sat down. Angel smiled at the teasing
and took
a seat
next to Buffy. Xander completely ignored Buffy.
“Hey Dead Boy. It’s nice to see you out and around with the living.
Since
tomorrow’s
Saturday, I’m taking everyone to the mall. I so wish you could come,
but
somehow I’ll
find the strength to go on.” Xander continued.
Angel had just been staring at him through this.
“Well, Xander, I will be at home sleeping and I almost feel sorry for
you.”
Angel replied.
“Why?” Xander asked.
“Because, you’ll be stuck at the mall with three girls. I wouldn’t wish
that
on anyone.”
Angel said with a smile.
“Hey!” the three females at the table said, Buffy hitting Angel in the
chest
playfully.
“Uh, did I say the mall?” Xander asked with a terrified expression.
“Yes!” the three girls chorused.
“And, I’m not letting you back out now.” Cordelia warned.
Angel watched all of this amused, but looked away when Oz came up to the
table.
“Hey guys, what are we talking about?” Oz wondered.
“Oh, just about Xander taing the girls to the mall tomorrow.” Angel
answered
easily.
“Really?” Oz asked disbelieving.
“Yeah, hey Oz, want to join us?” Xander asked, hopefully.
“No thanks, I know better. I can find something else to do.” Oz
replied.
Buffy smiled and rolled her eyes at the other girls and they laughed.
“Well, I don’t know about the rest of you, but I came here to dance.”
Buffy
said as she
took Angel’s hand and pulled him out onto the dance floor.
“Xander, come on.” Cordelia said as she too pulled her boyfriend onto
the
dance floor.
“Willow, would you like to dance?” Oz asked.
“Sure.” Willow smiled as they moved to dance between Buffy and Angel
and
Xander and
Cordelia.
“I hope a slow song comes on ‘cause I can’t dance to this very well.”
Willow
said to Oz
as they danced.
“Well, look at Xander, I think Cordelia is wishing the samething.”
Just then a slow song began to play. Everyone moved closer together.
Buffy
put her
arms around Angel.
“I love this song.” she whispered.
Angel began to sing along in an excellent voice to ‘Lullaby.’ Buffy
smiled
up at him with
bright eyes as they swayed to the music.
##########
“Thank god a slow song came on.” Cordelia said aloud as she and Xander
swayed together.
“What? Why?” Xander asked as he looked down at her.
“Because, its embarrassing to have everyone see my boyfriend dance the
way you
do.”
Cordelia replied.
“Excuse me, I happen to like the way I dance. Maybe I don’t want
people to
know how
uncreative my girlfriend dances.” Xander snapped back.
“Uncreative, huh?” Cordelia answered.
“Maybe I spoke to soon.” Xander corrected as Cordelia proceeded to show
him
how
creative she was.
