Chapter Twenty-Three
The demon slowly started walking towards the small group of fighters. It seemed to laugh at them, as if challenging them to come forth. Buffy took in a deep breath, and got ready to charge. Willow on the other hand tried her hand at some magic. She Put her hand up towards the demon and said "Thicken" The demon didn’t slow down much, but it did slow down. The group grabbed hold of their weapons and charged the demon. Buffy was the first one to get there, and jumped kicked the jackoral hard on the chest. It stumbled back a few steps, but backhanded buffy, and sent her sailing into a nearby headstone.
Angel jumped on the demon from behind, and stuck put a small knife in it’s back. It didn’t do much damage, it appeared it had a real thick-like skin, and it didn’t penetrate much. The jackoral couldn’t seem to get Angel off of him, so he reared back, and flipped angel over to his front. He then threw him into Faith and Talia, taking them down with him. Spike vamped out, and all out attacked the demon. He charged and started hitting and kicking. This seemed to take it by surprise, leaving a chance for Buffy and Faith to start fighting as well. It knocked Spike to the side, and grabbed the two girls. It picked them both up by the neck, and knocked them together. Angel ran up to Buffy, just as she was getting back up.
" Listen, I have a plan, but I need you girls to back off. Spike and I can handle this thing. I can grab it’s back, and distract it long enough so Spike will be able to get the job done. It might take a few tries, but you guys just really need to stay out of the way." Buffy set her face for an argument.
" Angel, you aren’t going to take this thing on by yourself, there just isn’t any need for that. All of us are here for a reason. I mean it, you aren’t going to do it this way." Buffy stood up and faced angel face to face. He sighed.
" I really hate to do this, buffy, and I’m sure you’re gonna be mighty pissed." Without explaining his statement, he reared back, and decked Buffy, sending her falling into another headstone. The impact with the tombstone, knocked Buffy out cold. Angel shook his head, and looked over at Kennedy and the other potentials.
" Help Buffy, she’s out cold." They ran over to her, while Angel ran up and jumped on the demon. Faith seeing what just happened, ran over to join the fight again. Spike, taking a Que from angel, grabbed Faith from behind. He wrapped his arms around her throat, preventing her from breathing. Faith struggled for a few minutes, but eventually passed out. Kennedy walked up to her, but stopped Spike before he ran back into the fray.
" I’m going to make you explain this to me someday." He nodded and ran over to where Angel was. He quickly told him the plan, then jumped on the Demon. The first try, sent them both flying away from the Demon. It actually took them four tries, before Spike actually got a hold of the demon’s eyes. He had to push really hard, and eventually the demon went down. They laid on the ground for a few minutes, before finally getting up. They slowly walked over to where the girls were, and Buffy and Faith were slowly waking up. Angel kneeled down to help Buffy stand up, but she pushed his hand away. When she was able she stood up, and punched Angel in the jaw.
" You had absolutely no right to do that! As far as I’m concerned, you are not my friend. We’ll get back to Wesley’s house, and I’ll get my stuff. I’ll go home to my apartment, and I want you to forget my number. Never try to contact me again, do you understand?" Angel tried to say something in his defense, but she cut him off.
" No! Do you understand?!" He nodded, and walked away from her. She shakily bent down and picked up her dropped scythe. Faith and Buffy walked arm in arm back to Wesley’s house.
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Back at Wesley’s house, they were getting restless in the basement. Oz and Xander were sitting against the far side of the wall, while Fred, Wesley, Giles and Cordelia were on the opposite wall. Andrew was laying on the table that was down there, and Dawn was tucked away in a corner by herself. Lorne was sitting by the door, quietly singing to himself, while Gunn paced the floor. Cordelia had tried to get Gunn to sit down, but he’d refused. When the basement door opened, they all jumped up. It was Buffy who was opening the door. She silently walked into the room, and walked over to where Dawn was sitting. Without a word from Buffy, Dawn quickly said her goodbyes to Connor, and left the house with Angel. Talia went into the room soon after, Buffy had left. She ran up to Xander wrapped her arms around his neck. He stood up, and they walked out of the room hand in hand. Wesley, Giles, and Fred walked out of the room next, trying to figure out what had happened. Gunn had long since bolted from the confines of the basement. Andrew walked slowly from the room, and when he saw Spike, he grinned.
" Spike, you’re okay!" Spike nodded and waved Andrew away.
Cordelia got up next, and walked out of the room. She went up to angel, who was sitting on Wesley’s couch, with his head in his hands.
" Hey, are you okay? You didn’t get hurt too bad, did you?" He looked up at her, and shook his head.
" No, I’m fine. Just wasn’t a pleasant experience at all." Cordelia, actually taking the hint, didn’t say anything else, just left to go to her own apartment. This left Lorne to stroll out of the room last, still singing to himself. Giles walked over to where Spike was standing.
" I take it the demon was killed?" Spike nodded his head, and Giles continued.
" Great, that’s great. That means, the senior partners have lost their power for the time being, which is great news." With that, he walked out of the apartment, leaving everyone who remained sitting there silent.
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Two months later
angel and Spike were sitting in the new Angel Investigations office. Spike had decided to stick around, and see if he could help with anything. Buffy had spoke true, and hadn’t talked to Angel since the night of what happened. They hadn’t had that many cases, but Cordelia was back as the Secretary, and Fred wasn’t allowed to do anything, but research. they were all sitting around doing nothing, when he entered the room. Gunn, Fred, and Cordelia were sitting at a table researching their latest case. Gunn was in a corner talking with Wesley and Lorne. Angel was behind his desk, looking through an ancient text, and Spike was sitting on the couch, reading a magazine. Whistler was very quiet as he entered the room, but then he spoke, causing them all to look his way.
" Well, I’ve been waiting a long time for this privilege. I knew this day would come, but it sure did take along time. Before I tell you what’s happened, I’ve got to explain something to you." Angel looked up at him, with a confused expression on his face.
" Explaining? About what?" Whistler grinned at him.
" About the shanshu prophecy, that’s what. First, I need both of you guys to stand up." Angel slowly stood up, trying not to get his hopes up. Spike just looked at him, and when he refused to get up, the couch he was sitting on disappeared, causing angel to get mad.
" Hey! I happen to like that couch quite a bit, thank you." This only made whistler’s smile widen. When Spike was finally on his feet, glaring at him, he started speaking again.
" Okay, first thing. You’re both asking, who was the prophecy for? Well, that’s simple. The prophecy was actually meant for Spike. You see, Angel, you were cursed with your soul, but Spike actually sought his out. He went through terrible trials to get his. He’s help avert the apocalypse even when he didn’t have his soul. The thing is though, Angel, you’ve been fight for the good side for such a long time. You’ve redeemed yourself beyond anything, we ever imagined for you. So, I am happy to say that you both get the prophecy." Angel just stared at him, but Spike spoke up.
" You mean, we’re going to become human?" Whistler laughed.
" Haven’t you been paying attention? What I just said, pretty much leads up to my point. As of this morning officially, you already are. I’m surprised you didn’t figure it out. You’ve been up for hours, and didn’t even notice. I guess it’s a good thing, you haven’t drank any blood today, huh?" With this statement, Cordelia squealed, and Whistler disappeared. Spike and Angel looked at each other, and ran up to the windows. It was still light out, and the blinds were closed. Sure enough the two men could see their reflections in the mirror. They laughed, and opened the door. As soon as the light hit their skin, they automatically flinched, but nothing happened. They looked at each other once more, and ran outside. The others ran behind them. By the time they caught up, they were in the park, looking around in wonder. The others caught up with them, and embraced them one by one to congratulate them.
they were human.
