Prologue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I leaned on the bus seat, I tried to block out all thoughts of the nightmare that had only happened a few hours ago. I thought. Then I chuckled. God. If there was a god, then how could he do this to me? Hell, I had saved humanity so many times, wasn't I entitled to one fucking moment of true happiness without repercussions? I had killed him, and he hadn't even known why. I had killed Angel, not Angelus. MY Angel. I mentally interrupted myself.- I had to get away. I had to get away from it all. Away from the memories that seemed to now haunt every aspect of my life. I had to start a new life, a vampire free life. I had to forget. I had to forget it all. A lady that had sat beside me at the last stop asked:
"What's your name, sweetheart?"- she had gray hair, warm brown eyes, and looked about sixty. I thought. I new life... that meant the end of Buffy Summers, vampire slayer. That was exactly what I had wanted. Buffy Summers was dangerous. She had killed her only true love in cold blood. And he hadn't even known why... Angel...
"Your name is Angel?"- the granny asked. Oh god, I must have said that last part out loud.
"No, um, Angela. Angela, uh, Capulet!"- that was nice. Name yourself after one of the most tragic characters in literature. But Juliet had been happy. She hadn't been the one that killed Romeo...
"I'm Liz."- she said in a faint accent.-
"I'm touring the usa now. It's a nice country."
"Yeah."- the old lady was chatty, but I needed to get distracted.
"So why are you here?"
"I'm, running away. Starting a new life."- I said, smiling.
"Something tragic happened to you. Somebody nicknamed Angel was in it all."- Damn, the old lady was shrewd.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. I have to get away... Otherwise, I'll be worse then Drusilla. If I don't forget, I'll go crazy..."- I whispered. I thought.
"It can't be that bad."
"It's worse. So now I said good-bye to my old self, and am going to Los Angeles."
"It's a dangerous city for a young lady like yourself."- she said quietly.
"Not as dangerous as me."- I whispered, barley audible.-
"I don't want any more trouble." Angela didn't. Angela didn't have to fight, to save the world, to kill HIM in order to save the world... Angela was a normal girl. She left it all up to somebody else...
"I hope you succeed."- Liz said, smiling, as she got off on the next stop.
"I will."- I told myself.
"I will."
