Part Three
I walked out of the cage and came across Buffy; she was staring into space.
"Buffy?"
No response.
"Buffy?" I said her name a little louder. This time she turned to me.
"Sorry Giles."
"You seem distant. Is something wrong?"
"Angel."
"What about him?"
"It's almost as if he is regressing. He's like a frightened child. He has nightmares about me leaving him or killing him and they reduce him to a total wreck. This isn't like him Giles, he's the strong one."
"How often is this happening?"
"Three times this week. What is it Giles? I mean, I know he suffers from crushing guilt but this is different. He's falling apart and I can't do anything to stop it."
"Buffy; if what you say is true you must be strong for him until we can find out what is causing this. I'll speak to my contacts and check my books. We will resolve this."
"Thanks Giles, it means a lot to me that you will help Angel in spite of everything."
"It wasn't him Buffy, you showed me that. Angel is my friend and I will do everything in my power to help him."
Feedback please (I'm pathetic when I beg!)
