Angel stared at their faces. They were nervous, they were terrified. The held weapons in their hands, were they for him, or her? The four kept their distance as they told their story. He felt a growl surface with every new sentence. He could not believe what they did, to her, to Dawn.
Now they were telling him the things she did. She murdered Faith and from what it sounds came close to killing Giles. He didn’t blame Buffy for how she reacted. He himself was coming close to reacting the same way. That pesky soul of his was all that was keeping them alive.
When he first saw Buffy on the steps of her high school in LA, he instantly fell in love with her. Like he told her two years ago, she wore her heart on her sleeve for everyone to see and he wanted to protect it. There were evils out their, disguised as people, that would hurt her worse than any mortal wound could. That’s why he left Sunnydale in the first place, he hated seeing her hurt, and he hurt her in the worst ways possible.
The thing he loved about Buffy was her blind sense of goodness. She was so innocent. A young girl who sacrificed herself, on a daily basis, to protect the world. He saw her grow up too fast, have to deal with too much and it killed him to watch. There was nothing he could do but protect her, and make her smile. Now she fell from that innocence, she lost so much when she had so little. Her best friends where the ones to rip it all away from her and now they looked at him to do what exactly, protect them? He was here to help Buffy in anyway possible. They could all go to hell.
He realized that he wasn’t listening to what they were telling him. Memories of the young and innocent girl he had and always will love were cycling through his head. Xander said something, he didn’t comprehend what he said, but he didn’t like Xander’s tone. He kicked him in the stomach.
He smelled a familiar scent, he looked up to the doorway to see the love of his life. She was a shell of the girl she once was but he loved her all the same.
