Meanwhile...
"I missed you. I used to lie in bed and think about you. And remember what
we did. And where we went and who we ate." She giggled. "I still do."
They were lying in the large king size bed as if it was a small single bed,
him spooning her and her snuggling up as close to him as she could.
Suddenly she pulled away.
"What is it?"
She sighed. "I can't do this. Any of this. I feel like I'm cheating on my
self when I'm with you and I feel so guilty for not telling Gileswhat I can't tell any more lies. I just can't."
And with that she started writing. About what had happened after she was
kicked back in time.
A few hours later she was sitting on Giles's couch, sipping tea and waiting
while he read over her story. When he had finished he looked shocked. "Is
all this really true?" he asked incredulously.
"Yes. All of it." She whispered, incredibly close to tears.
"My god. And you're alright?"
"Yes. No I'm not.' The tears spilt ' I am so tired of not telling anyone any
thing, sick of not being able to get close to anyone and sick of not being
able to be the slayer. I love that. I really did. When I became a vampire I
regained the use of my legs, but I was still inexperienced. I met Angelus
and Spike and Dru and Darla. And I learnt about life and how to survive and
everything, until he got a soul. Then our family broke up. And then I got
lost. And then I woke up in LA in this horrible office called Wolfram and
Hart. I have to go back to LA Giles. Will you help me? Please."
Giles smiled softly. "Of course I will."
Then came more voices. "And so will we. Well, with the exception of Buffy of
course."
It was Xander and the rest of the Scooby gang, with Buffy trailing along
behind. Dawn on the other hand came right up to Belle and wrapped her arms
around her neck in a hug. "Don't worry. We'll all help you. Even Buffy when
she realizes where you're going."
"Where is the little vamp ho going anyway." Came the cold voice.
Elle ignored it. "To LA. To see the Angel from the present."
LA later that week...
"Don't push me Lilah!"
"Angel. If you want me to talk then you'll let my secretary go." Lilah
Morgan said sternly.
"Your secretary is a Glamour demon!"
"So? You work with a demon. I believe his name is Lorne?"
"Lorne happens to be on the side of good. Not the side of Wolfram and Hart."
Angel growled.
Lilah shrugged. "So? A demon is still a demon. And a secretary is still a
secretary." She said pointedly.
Angel laughed. "Yes. Your, right."
Lilah looked puzzled. "What do you mean I'm right?" she asked cautiously.
"A demon is just a demon."
And with a flick of his wrist, Angel snapped the Glamour's neck.
"Damn you Angel! Do you know how hard it is to get a good secretary in this
town?"
"No. Not really. Now then. I'm gonna ask you one more time, then I'm gonna
snap your neck. Who did you keep prisoner for 5 years. And what was their
name."
Lilah sighed. She knew that she had no choice but to tell Angel. "Her name
is Elleena Montegro O'Conner. She has been our prisoner for 5 years as
she was considered to be too dangerous to roam the world. Especially after
what she did to one of our South American branches."
"What did she do?"
"She destroyed the building. But she didn't harm our employees. Only our
most dangerous, powerful and influential clients. She was deemed too
dangerous to be allowed to live. But the Senior Partners decided to keep
her. They had us pump her full of drugs to make her forget the past 5 years
and to sap her of her strength. If she ever got loose then there would be
blood shed. And she is loose. So you best be careful Angel. No one knows
what she is capable of."
"I do. Because I was with her for most of her life. And because I was
watching her when she was destroying your South American branch Lilah. I
know her. Beter than you could ever hope to know her."
And with that Angel dropped Lilah's secretary, who crumpled into a lifeless
puddle in front of Lilah.
Angel started to stalk out of the foyer when Lilah spoke.
"What do you mean you know her?"
"She's my childe Lilah, so I suggest that you stay the hell away from her
and anyone that she's with. I'm making myself clear right?"
"Crystal clear." Lilah said far too sweetly.
Angel sneered and left Lilah alone with her dead secretary.
