A/N: It's been a while since I updated! I just want to say thanks for the reviews and review more! It's short but I think its good...so here you go:


“You’re not evil!” Cordelia said to Angel. He stood in front of the library’s double doors; he wore a look of confusing on his face.

“We…ummm…thought you might have been off with Buffy…” Willow stammered and then shut her mouth.

“Ok, but where is Buffy?” Angel said moving closer to where everyone was gathered.

“That’s a really good question….” Xander said playing with a cross he had picked up just in case Angel was evil.

“We haven’t seen her since yesterday afternoon.” Giles said he was leaning against the doorframe of his office.

“What do you mean?” Angel asked.

“She’s missing.” Cordelia said bluntly.

Willow threw her a look. “Well we don’t know where she is and Buffy’s mom doesn’t know where she is and judging by the look on your face you don’t either.”

“Did you patrol with her last night?” Giles asked.

“No, I was supposed to meet her at Restfield but she never showed and I went by her house but she wasn’t there either, I just figured she went to the Bronze or I missed her.” Angel said, his face showing deep concern.

“So what do we do?” Xander asked. “We search, right?”

Giles was about to answer him when there was a loud noise coming from the window. He stood up and went over to the stacks where the noise had come from. One of the windows was open and package lay on the floor under it. He picked it up and turned it over and stared at it as he went to the others.

“What is it?” Cordelia asked.

When he didn’t answer, Willow cleared her throat. “Umm…Giles?”

He looked up. “Oh, I don’t know its wrapped up…let me.” He pulled off the back wrapping paper pulled out an old tome from inside the wrappings.

“A book, who would send a book? I mean it’s not Christmas yet or even your birthday…I think, so who would send you a book?” Xander said and looked over Giles shoulder as he studied it.

Giles flipped over the book and read the title. It was The Vampire Kidnappings.

“Ok so definitely not a bestseller, but who gave it to you and why?” Xander asked Giles.

“I don’t know.” Giles said as he flipped through the pages. He was about to flip to another page when Oz stopped him. “Look.” Oz said and pointed to something stuck between two pages.

“What is it?” Cordelia asked.

Giles shown the picture in the light and everyone moved to look. When the picture revealed itself, Willow gasped, and Xander’s eyes widened.

Angel stepped back a grim expression mixed with anger on his face and said what everyone was thinking. “It’s Buffy."

Wolfram and Hart were evil bastards when they wanted to be but when they thought there was someone out there who was better then them they either tried to kill them or they tried to make nice. This time it was the later. They had set him up with the best accommodations there was, making sure he was comfortable, giving him all he needed, provided funding for the “vampire kidnappings”. It was all going well, that was until they lost interest. Now they had to deal with “Angel” a vampire with a soul who was killing their clients and making L.A. a lot safer, well as safe as it could be. He was pissed, when they decided to ignore him, but then decided he’ll make the kidnappings bigger than he had planned. First, he just thought he’d stay in the future and hide while in the past he captured the slayers and started the kidnappings, but then he learned about Angel or Angelus and things started to get more interesting. He never would have guessed that a Slayer could love a vampire or the other way around, a couple years ago he would have scoffed at it, but now it was an advantage. Wolfram and Hart would love him if he took out Angel, but if he took out the slayer? Besides he already went to the future and new that they were going to have themselves a problem if the slayer and Angel weren’t dealt with soon. So now he played in the future too. It was just a matter of time before the slayer was captured. Then Angel would look for her, because they were still in love…an idiot could see that. Oh, yes this was going to be a very good vampire kidnappings. One of the most prestigious vampire games known to vampires and demons and evil lawyers. The whole object was to…well destroy the world. But it took a couple of games to do that…. every hundred years or so vampires and demons would gather under a leader, which was him, and fought. They would get enough energy to destroy the world and make it how it once was. Now they were throwing slayers into the mix. And this time it would work and everything would be evil and humans would only be alive for food or for the demons that fed off fear and grief. Now all he had to do was wait…

What’d you see?” The blonde asked Cassandra.

“I saw us, in our present, our future and now.” Cassandra told them.
“What do you mean now? This is your present too.” Buffy told them.

“No, not really. We’re from the future, you’re future, our present.” Cass replied.

“Oh god” the blonde said sitting down. “This is confusing.”

“How are you from the future?” Buffy asked, sitting down. “How’d you get here?”

“They took us through a portal or something. Either this is the past or it’s another dimension altogether. I got here by patrolling alone and getting abducted. See, about a year ago I found out I was a slayer. I get visions too. My parents knew that I got visions, they called them ‘Gifts from God’. But then I got my first vision of a vampire.” She paused and the blonde shivered. “My parents didn’t believe me when I said I needed to get to a cemetery, I mean first it was ‘Dad don’t forget your car keys’ and now its ‘Dad drive me to the cemetery so I can kill a vampire.’ They got freaked out and sent me to a place.”

Buffy nodded. “Me too. How’d you find out you were a slayer?”

“A potential, actually. I ran away, met my watcher” Cassandra said.

Buffy nodded toward the other girl. “What about you?”

“I didn’t even know vampires existed. Until I came here and they told us we were slayers and they told us about you. I never had a watcher. Oh, by the way by names Lindsey.”

“Oh, well Hi. I’m Buffy.”

There was an awkward silence, until Cass spoke. “I saw us, meaning our future selves and.” She nodded to Buffy. “You’re future selves. They’re playing with us now and our future except not our past because we’re not slayers yet.”

“Ok….”

Cassandra gasped and threw her head back. “Angel.” She gasped.

“What about Angel?” Buffy asked quickly.

“He’s going to be one pissed off vampire with a soul.” Cass said.

“Vampires have souls?” Lindsey asked.

“Yeah, he had a gypsy curse.” Cassandra told her before Buffy could speak. At Buffy’s questioning look she shrugged. “You guys, the scoobies and Angel’s gang are very well known in the future.”

“Angel’s gang?” Buffy asked.

“Never mind, let him tell you…. if you see him again.” Cassandra said.

“We’ll get out.” Buffy promised.

“I don’t think so. I just saw flashes and from what I saw, well start to sweat.”

“There are two girls missing.” Wesley told Angel as he was flipping through files.

“Ok, but isn’t that the police’s job?” Gunn asked.

“Well, yeah but these girls are different. One of them, at least from what I’ve found, is a potential slayer.” Wesley told the group.

Angel looked up. “The other one?”

“Don’t know yet, all I know is that there is a message going around to the watchers and someone I got one.” Wes said staring at a sheet of paper.

“Well…. is Faith missing? Or…Buffy?” Cordelia asked.

Wesley nodded. “Good idea, I’ll call Giles.”

Angel nodded. “And I’ll contact the prison.”

It was late and the phone was ringing, Giles stumbled out of bed and grabbed it. “Hello?” he mumbled.

He paused as the voice on the phone gave the reason for calling. “She’s out patrolling. Yes. I’ll call you in the morning for an update. Ok. Good night.”

He put the phone back on its cradle and went back to bed, oblivious that somewhere Buffy was being taken through a portal.
