I lay down on the bed. My eyes closed as I sighed in exhaustion. It had been yet another trying day; being a slayer demanded 100% all the time. I couldn't just take the day off because I didn't feel like it. The lives of others would be on my conscience. I was grateful for my friends Willow, Xander's support, and also that of my watcher, Giles, but I just couldn't cope the way I thought I could. Without Angel I had nothing to really look foreward to, nothing to get me through the stress not to mention the danger, knowing I couldn't have a normal life, was something I could get used to if he was in my mind. All I had now was another sadistic vampire -Angelus, on my case whom I couldn't even kill because everytime I came close to it, the pointless longing that suffocated my heart came back as it always did. That glimpse of hope that one day he would return to me; my Angel. That feeling always prevented me from plunging the stake into his manipulated heart that once I felt beat faster than ever before. That moment we were brought together as one, never felt so right. Looking into his eyes, my feelings seemed to totally empower me. As I closed my eyes and welcomed his soft lips. That was when he entered me, powerful, strong and so right. I moaned with every thrust, pushing him deeper and deeper. He put his hands either side of my head and arched his back on top of me. He kissed me like never before. Powerful and urgently he kissed me as we both exploded. When he lay beside me afterwards, stroking my face, kissing me gently, whispering that he loved me. I felt so wanted, more than I had been for a long time. And that made me happy, as I'm sure it did him. Little did I know how it could all turn out.

I was beginning to come to terms with the fact he would never return the same and that I needed to destroy him as soon as possible. But moments like these I felt the aching isolation. No one who comforted me would understand the way we used to look at each other. The way he touched me. It was like a secret no one else could ever work out. A beautiful secret between two people who are meant to be together. I twisted the ring he had iven me, the night of my birthday, before his soul was taken. Tears filled my eyes as my heart shuddered. I let out a sob, and quickly smothered my face in my pillow so my mom wouldn't hear me. I cried until I didn't remember. All I knew was that darkness surrounded me. A swirly darkness I had no idea what of. Not that I cared. I stood up on the hard floor, not wanting to be here. I wanted to leave. I ran and ran, my heart pounding. My speed felt restrained, it was like each stride was about 10 times as much work than normal. It felt like this was never going to end, like dreaming that you couldn't breath. With all my might, I thrust my body foreward in hope I would overcome this empowerment. Harsh surges of colour thrashed before my eyes, smoke seemed to suffocate me. I gave in to this atmosphere and my body relaxed. It became lighter and seemed to float in mid air. My head tilted back and I felt vunerable. cold seemed to envelop me and I felt an uncomfortable drop in temperature. my body froze helplessly, my head hurt with a sudden drop of adrelenine.

I felt someone kissing my head. It made me feel better. I was kissed again. I felt a warmth, a security. I opened my eyes as Angel's looked into them. All the feeling I had contained inside of me all my longing seemd to release as my lip trembled. I didn't think I would ever feel this way again, I didn't know where I was, as a haze srrounded us. As our lips touched the warmth returned to my body. Neither of us had spoken as he kissed my face and pressed his muscular frame against mine. I had missed him so much. this couldn't be real, it was too good, too perfect. We both smiled as we had done before.
"I love you." he whispered.
"But.."I began, but he put a finger to my lips.
"You don't need to worry for now." I felt at peace as we both drifted off to sleep.
Suddenly, a harsh coldness hit my body like a thousand volts of electricity. I jumped in unbelievable freight, and looked up to see Angel was gone.
"No!" I screamed, trying to follow him, but couldn't move. Angelus emerged his fangs seething, laughing out loud. He came nearer and nearer, his eyes brutal and cold. Drew smiled over his shoulder, her face smiled with satisfaction.
"He'll never get past us, no matter how hard he tries." she sneered. Angelus' fangs emerged just about to sonk into my neck.
I woke up with a jolt, and fell off the bed with a thud. My room was pitch black, except for a fingernail of moon peering through my curtain. My eyes were sore from crying. I lay back down, and pulled the blanket around me. I noticed Angel's ring shining on my hand through the dark. I closed my eyes, positive his soul had heards my cry and had tried to return.
