Chapter 2
Angel is still contemplating willow’s last words to him “Goddess what IS it with you too and still loving each other and wanting me to change something for you!”
< could it be true could Spike still love him and want his soul back? Is he willing to do that for me? To give up everything he loves about being a vampire to be with me?>
“Hey Angel wake up”
“Oh umm sorry Gunn what was it that you needed?”
“Nothing really YOU need to answer the phone.”
“Who is it?”
“Don’t know wouldn’t say, just said they needed to speak with you called you, the champion.”
“Thanks Gunn I get it”
As Angel walks to the phone his mind is reeling from all the unanswered questioned. One thing he knew was things were not good.
“What is it that you guys need?”
“Information”
“Information on what? I thought you guys knew everything”
“Things have changed; the giver has appeared and changed things.”
“Who’s this “giver” and what have they changed”
“She is a powerful being living near the hell mouth we don’t know much more then she is aligned with the slayer and extremely powerful, however we have reason to believe that you know her very well.”
“How can I know her if she just appeared?”
“You received a phone call from her today”
“The only person I have talked on the phone with beside you is Willow… < Willow?> I have to go thank you for contacting me.”
“Wait WE need information!”
Angel didn’t here the last words from the powers. After he hung up he raced to his room packed a bag and was walking out the door before anyone else noticed that something was wrong.
“Angel where are you going exactly?”
“I have to go to Sunnydale right away something had changed and I don’t know what it means. You’re in charge here Wesley, only call me if the world is ending right then!”
And with that Angel spend down the high way on his way to meet Willow and find out what was going on
“Giles, Giles are you home” Willow asked timidly poking her head into his house from outside. Seeing no one she let herself in and set her stuff in his desk chair. She headed over to his books and started skimming the titles of the various demonology texts.
“This one should help” She whispered to herself, picking up the heavy text and plopping down on his couch, and started flipping threw the pages looking for something specific.
“DEAR LORD” Giles jumped back in surprise one hand clutching his chest the other clutching the white towel around his waste. “Willow, I didn’t hear you come in, in fact I was sure you and Buffy were going to the Library to study”
Willow turned bright red, and guiltily put the book back down. “Sorry, I – I didn’t think you would mind, I needed to do some research, and I really didn’t think it would be a bother. I should have called first, or, or even waited outside or something but the door was unlocked so I just kinda let myself in. I'm really sorry.” Willow paused mid babble “And who takes a shower with there front door unlocked anyway?”
“Willow, It’s quite alright, honest” Giles turned around and started heading back to his room. “I’m just going to, put some clothing on. Then I can help you with whatever research you need” Giles disappeared into his room quickly, shutting the door behind him.
“Now what did you need?” Giles asked re-emerging. And to her credit willow was able to look him in the eye, but she still turned red.
“I just wanted to know some stuff about vampire relationships” Giles got an odd look on his face; willow noticed this and worked to cover up her slip. “For uh…Buffy of course, she was just curious about uh... how a master is…um able to control his minions, you know uh… when they should have a will of there own and whatnot, you know me, curious willow, willing to do research for anyone” She finished a little to brightly and with a smile that should have given her away.
“Oh, well of course, what book were you searching through?” Giles inquired curiously heading over to were she had placed her book.
Willow showed him the book she had been leafing through. Giles nodded his head, “That one should have most of the information outside of the journals that can be called legitimate. I’m meeting Buffy at the library in half an hour, are you going to be joining us?”
“Ummm, I don’t think so I have uhh few things I need to take care of. Do you mind if I take this book with me so I can read it at home when I have time?”
“Of course Willow, just be sure that I get it back at some point, it really is a valuable book. I’ll be leaving now.”
As Giles left his apartment he didn’t even stop to think about what Willow had said. Willow was extremely thankful that Giles hadn’t pumped her for anymore answers, she didn’t think she could lie to him anymore, and more then that she was running out of good lies.
When Willow reached home there was a car parked under the tree that she didn’t recognize.
< Now who in the world could THAT be?>
When Willow reached her front door a man stepped out from the shadows. “Willow, Invite me in quickly!”
“Angel? What are you doing here, in the middle of the morning?”
“I’ll answer all your questions just a soon as we get INSIDE!”
“Oh right okay.”
