A mind is a terrible thing: Angel
by always angel
A/N: I too have " borrowed" dialouge from the episode Angel. A special thanks to Peaches Girl for putting up with my slacking.


Buffy's eyes widened as the vampires came in for the kill. She prepared herself for the pain of fangs entering her flesh but nothing came. “ Good dogs don't bite!” A voice growled and yanked the vampire away from her. Buffy kicked the remaining vampires away and looked at her savior. Angel! She was both surprised and delighted. She didn't have anymore time to ponder him saving her because at that moment the three vampires rushed them.

Angel fought by her side, helping her to knock the vampires back. Suddenly Buffy saw a flash of steel as one of the vamps ripped a spike from the fence and lunged at Angel. “ Look out!” She shouted but she was too late. The vamp succeeded in slashing Angel across the ribs. She kicked away the vampire she was fighting and grabbed Angel's hand. “ Run!” They flew down the street, not stopping until they reached her house.


“ Get in! Come on!” She yelled yanking the door open. As she shut the door one of the three leapt at her. She slammed it shut, smashing its hand. She locked the door and peered through the panes. “ Its all right. A vampire can't come in unless its invited.” “ I've heard that before, but I've never put it to the test.” She turned to him, remembering that he was hurt. “ I'll go get some bandages. Take your jacket and shirt off.”


He followed her into the kitchen, shedding his shirt as he went. When she turned and saw his bare back her heart fluttered in her chest. She admired the tapered muscles in his shoulders and back. He was very yummy indeed. “ Nice tattoo.” She stuttered when he turned to look at her.

She opened the bandages and began to tend to his wound, all the while ignoring the tingling sensation she got from touching his bare skin. “ I was lucky you came along tonight. How did you happen to come along?” “ I live nearby. I was out walking.” “ So you weren't following me? I kinda had this feeling that you were.”


“ Why would I do that?” he asked, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “ You tell me. You're the mystery guy who appears out of no where.” She laughed a little. “ I'm not saying that I'm not happy about it tonight. But if you are hanging me I'd like to know why.” She finished bandaging his wound and stood up. “ Maybe I like you.”


She stared up at him in wonderment. As she gazed into his eyes she suddenly got the feeling that she knew him from somewhere. She started to feel lightheaded and the room began to spin. She quickly grabbed on to Angel to steady herself. “ Buffy are you ok? Buffy!” The last thing she saw was Angel reaching out to catch her. Then her world went black.


Angel sat next to Buffy's bed griping her hand. He prayed everyday that there would be some kind of change but so far nothing happened. Connor was growing so fast and she was missing all of it. “ Buffy please wake up.” He whispered. “ Connor is growing so fast and he needs his mommy.” He paused as his voice began to crack. “ I need you too Buffy. I can't do this with out you.” He lay his head on her bed as tears began to slide down his face. “ I miss you so much. I'm trying so hard to be strong but I can't. I'm not sure I can do this anymore.” At that moment something that Angel considered to be a miracle happened. Buffy squeezed his hand.
