The Storm
St. Paul, Minnesota
Angel is ‘resting’ in an abandoned building. It has been weeks since he left Cleveland and Faith behind. Since then the demon horde had caught up to him a couple of times and he almost didn’t make it out of Chicago. Angel is torn out of his recollection by a sound coming from the front of the building. Before Angel can make it to his feet he is surrounded by a group of vampires.
“Okay,” Angel says as he makes it to his feet. “You guys what to do this the easy way, or the hard way?” Before anyone could answer a vampire stepped forward, looking to be the leader of the bunch.
“I am sorry if we have given you the impression that we wish to do you harm. We wish to present you with a proposition.” The supposed vampire leader explains.
“What kind of proposition?” Angel asks cautiously, still holding his broadsword defensively.
“We both have a common bond. I am of the bloodline of Aurelius. As you probably already know from your own sources you once had at Wolfram & Hart, we are not as strong as we once were. With the destruction of so many of are older brethren we have lost our focused strength. We wish for you to take over as Master of the bloodline.” The vampire explains.
“You do realize that I still have my soul?” Angel asks.
“We believe that we can overcome this set back.” The vampire answers.
“If you mean by taking my soul away then the deals off.” Angel threatens.
“No, you misunderstand. We believe that you will still make a good leader with or without your soul. As the humans have proven, just because you have a soul doesn’t mean it makes you good or bad.” The vampire defends.
“What do I get out of this deal?” Angel asks.
“Protection. As Master it is the first priority to protect you.” The vampire answers.
“Okay. I accept, but we do everything my way.” Angel orders.
“Of course. That is your right as Master.” The vampire agrees.
“Alright. So first things first, we need to get rid of this demon horde that is after me.” Angel orders.
“Already being taken care of sir. All threats that are currently after you are being neutralized as we speak. May I suggest that we make our way home so you can become familiar with the site and the others?” The vampire suggested.
“Yes. Before we do anything else, what is your name?” Angel asks as they start to make their way to the entrance of the building.
“I am John, and these,” John gestures to the vampires surrounding them. “Are your, lets say, guards until we make it home.”
As they exit the abandoned building Angel spots a limo waiting on the street. John motions for him to follow and they get into the limo. Two of his said “guards join him in the back with John while another sits upfront with the driver. The rest of the vampires pile into two SUV’s located behind and in front of the limo. As they make their departure Angel focuses on John.
“I thought you said the order had lost power since the Master died.” Angel says.
“We lost some of our power, but not our money.” John replies.
“So, where are we going?” Angel asks.
“To the airport. From there we will make our way to Los Angeles. The demon horde that remained there has been taken care of and that is where we now reside.” John reports.
“You sound like the leader of this thing. Why am I needed?” Angel asks.
“I have been sent to bring you back to the lair. I have been given the job of leader only in the capacity of making sure you return to Los Angeles in one piece and unharmed.” John says.
“So others in the order want me in charge? What do they have planned once I get back to LA?” Angel asks, but before he gets an answer the limo comes to a stop and the guard opens the door. Waiting for Angel to step out of the vehicle. John had already exited from the other side of the vehicle and was making his way to the jet that Angel guessed was waiting for them to board. Angel steps out of the limo and boards the plane after John.
London, England
As Angel makes his way to Los Angeles pockets of Aurelian vampires neutralize the threats that have been chasing Angel for the past months. A group has surrounded the flat of Rupert Giles.
Inside the Residence of Rupert Giles
“We need to find him. He is still a threat.” Giles says to Andrew, the only other one in the house.
“But Mr. Giles you know that Buffy won’t let us do anything to him. She still isn’t happy about what we did when he was in charge of Wolfram & Hart.” Andrew replies.
“That doesn’t matter he must still be found and brought in.” Giles claims. Just then the fire alarm sounds and the room fills with smoke. As Giles and Andrew make their way out of the flat they are surrounded by vampires. The vampires attack and kill Giles and Andrew with ease, throwing the bodies into the fire. One of the vampires pull out a cell phone.
“It’s done.”
