“Katy?” Angel had not said that name is over two centuries. She had been the first; she was the one that has hurt him, when he was cursed. There was silence, Anna wasn’t moving or looking at anyone in particular.
“Katy?” Angel was freaked out. Some many thoughts were running about his head. Was this WR&H’s idea of a joke? Were they trying to make him go mad? Staring into space, Anna began to talk.
“Are you going to leave me? Are you doing to go away and leave me on my own?” As quickly as she was possessed, Anna came to. Tears instantly flowed. She was sobbing her heart out, as if what she had experienced had been her own. Standing from the table, she made a bee line for Angel.
“You KILLED her! You murdered her. You promised that you would never leave her on her own and you did. She was innocent. She was 12 year old and you murdered you own sister!”
The outburst took it out of Anna, who was slumped in the nearest chair. Sobbing quietly, Angel looked about the room. Spike wasn’t really doing anything about from staring at Angel. Gunn looked quiet amazed as to the fact that Anna actually had a different side, other than being a mystic.
Handing her some water, Gunn tried to comfort Anna, and get out of her what she had seen. Wiping the tears from her eyes, Anna regained some dignity and went on to explain.
“I felt someone’s presence that was close to Angel; just like he had said. Anyway after I called forward the spirits that were close to him, there was this little girl. She said that she was close to Angel in life death and by blood. I asked her what did she mean, all she said was that she would show me.”
Angel was beside him self. His younger sister who had been dead for almost as long has he had been a vampire, was now coming back to haunt him.
“What did she show me?” Anna knew the question before anyone could ask it.
“I was taken to the night that she was murdered. I found myself crying in a room, it was cold and I didn’t know where I was. There was a knock at the door, instead of allowing someone else to answer it. I found myself running to answer the door. There stood on the door step was Angel. He could have been no older than about 26 maybe. Anyway the little girl said something. Asked Angel if he had come back, if he had come back as an angel? His reply? Yes Katy, and are you going to let me in or am I going to have to freeze!”
Angel was speechless. That was the one moment in his life that comes back to haunt him more than the rest. Just that one. Sitting with his head in his hands, Angel finally managed to speak.
“Did she say anything to you? Did she give you a message?” Anna’s face was furious.
“What like, thanks bro for biting me and draining me dry. No she didn’t say anything. Apart from that she would be seeing you really soon.”
With that Anna got up and excused herself. She didn’t want to be in the same room as Angel at the minute.
“Well that was a bit of a conversation stopper.” Spike knew better than to make fun of Angel at this moment in time, even though it would be highly amusing. He didn’t fancy getting a stake in the heart.
“What do you reckon it is? The senior partners digging her spirit up and letting her haunt me for a bit. Is it annoying them that I am beating them at every turn, they have to send my sister?”
Angel wasn’t just annoyed with WR&H, he was seriously ticked off. There are a few things in a guy’s life you can’t touch and that is the memory of his dead sister.
“You want me to see if there is anything in the records about her? They may have something.” Angel was doubtful. He never turned her into a vampire, so there would be no record of her anywhere.
“No she never became a vampire. I just…killed her.”
Leaving the room, Cordelia’s picture was impeccable timing. She managed to dig out probably the only remaining picture of Angel as a human, and the baby had to come back.
Walking into his office, Angel, if he had a beating heart, would have died from a heart attack. Because there sat in his office chair, was his sister. Only she looked a little older.
Not believing his eyes, he walked towards her. She stayed seated, not moving away from him. Once he was almost standing over her, she rose.
“What’s the matter Liam, you look like you have seen a ghost?”
