Part 5

Angel watched the couple walk together hand in hand.  Angel saw the small girl approach him.

"You see, Angelus, the two of you were meant for each other.  Since you became a vampire she was later reborn as a Slayer so the two of you could meet, you were introduced to her by Whistler.

"Sarah ran from her father and hid in the barn.  Since you weren't there to save her, she perished in the fire.  I suppose you remember hearing about the barn fire in town shortly after your change..."

"Yes, I do," Angel answered sadly.

"The two of you in this time had many children and grandchildren before you parted from this life."

"If I wasn't a vampire in the future then what happens to Buffy?"

"The two of you were reborn, but as normal human beings.  Another Slayer killed the Master before she herself had been killed, Rupert Giles was her Watcher.  You see, evil was never meant to triumph over Good, but it will never stop coming.  Somehow the two of you got involved in this battle.  There is a cure for you.  Maybe one day you'll find it."

"What cure?"

"If you become completely human again you won't be able to aid her in a fight but here is a way for you to become human and retain your vampiric strenth."

"Do you know how to cure me?"

"Here," She said and took off her necklace that had an odd shaped symbol engraved on it.  "It will help you find the key."

Moments later, Angel was back in the mansion.  He looked around to find no one other than himself inside.  He held the necklace in his hand.

*Maybe there is a way....*
