chapter
two: To save Angel.......Mostly
Connor
walked into the hotel and was immediately assaulted by Angel who came
over and hugged him tight.
Squeezing
him till Connor gasped “Dad can't breath.”
Angel
loosened his hold.
“Sorry.”
Angel said then smelled Connor.
“What
is that?” Angel asked.
Then
realized it was the coat Connor was wearing.
He
then decided to check the pockets and found the drugs.
“Is
this what I think it is?” Angel asked then spoke again “Connor do
you know what this crap is?”
“Yes
I know it's drugs. I just forgot they were in his coat.” Connor
said.
“You
forgot they were in his coat? Who's he? And how would you have known
it was in his coat in the first place.” Angel asked puzzled because
of the way Connor had put his words.
Then
Gunn came in.
“Found
your boy? Good. Maybe you can tell me why you decided to cut some
guys ear off as a trophy.” Gunn said grossed out.
“What?”
Angel asked.
“There
was a fight with some local baddies. It was a drug thing gone wrong.
One of the guys is dead. And one of the guys had his ear sliced off.
Someone said a boy fitting Connors description was at the crime
scene.” Gunn said/
Angel
wanted to give Connor a break. “He grew up in a hell dimension
okay. It's not like he knows any better.” Angel said.
O
great now Connor felt guilty. Cause his brain was screaming you sure
as hell did know better!
Gunn
shrugged ready to let it go.
“So
now what do we do?” Cordy asked.
“Will
you tell me what it was like for you there?” Angel asked.
“That's
not important. What's important is that I'm here now.” Connor said
trying to find a way to tell them the truth.
He
had to know one thing “If I did something terrible. Would you hate
me? I mean if I did something really really bad?” Connor asked.
“Of
course not. Connor. I love you. There is nothing you could do or say
to change that. Your my son.” Angel said honestly.
“So
if I told you something you promise you won't hate me.” Connor
said.
“Connor
I could never hate you.” Angel repeated getting slightly annoyed
and wondering where this was going.
“Okay
this is gonna sound strange but I'm not from this time. I'm not the
Connor that was fighting you this morning. In fact somehow I was
transported to my body. You see it's been over a year since I came
back from the hell dimension. At least in my time it has. In your
time. This time. I just came back. In my time all of you are dead. I
was so upset. And I made a wish that I could change what happened.
And I guess I was taken back to where it all went wrong. And since
I'm here I want to change things. I know what's gonna happen. And we
can change it. We need to close the portal before Holtz comes
through. Because the first time I came back it wasn't just me that
came out of the portal.” Connor said
Angel
and the other just stared and thought about that for a minute.
Time
travel?
Well
that was new.
They
had never dealt with that before.
And
lord knows there had been much weirder things they had dealt with.
“So
your future self is in your past body because you made a wish. How
did you wish? On candle's or something?” Fred asked curious.
“No.
it was a really shinny star. But what I tell you about the future has
to stay between us. And I wont tell you every little detail. But I
will change as much as I can while I'm here. And I don't know how
long that is. So I need to tell you all I can as soon as possible.”
Connor said.
“It's
hard to believe that in a years time we will all be dead. I mean how
did it happen?” Cordy asked.
“Well
I need to start at the beginning. The first death.” Connor said.
“Which
was?” Cordy asked.
“You.”
Connor said.
“Me?
Okay so how did I die?” Cordy asked.
“Well
first of all do you remember your demon guide skip?” Connor asked.
“Yes.”
Cordy said.
“Yeah
well in two days he will come to you and tell you that you no longer
belong here. That you have become a higher being and that you belong
on the higher plane now because of your power. But I'm telling you
now.....Don't believe him. It's a trick. They want you to go up there
so that a past power can invade your body. It will take over your
body. It's evil. You can't let that happen. You can't listen to skip.
When the power is done with your body you will die because it used
all your energy up. And that's how you died. You can't trust Skip. In
fact tomorrow night I'm gonna find skip and kill him. If you guys
want to come help me fine. But you won't talk me out of it. All that
happened with evil Cordy and me and the beast and Jasmine it can't be
allowed to happen. Millions will lose their lives. We have to stop
this from happening. If I can stop it from happening none of you will
die. And none of the other bad stuff will happen either. Okay so I'll
miss Spike but I'll get over it.” Connor said.
“Wait.
Spike?” Angel said outraged that his son had just said he was gonna
miss Angels most hated enemy.
“Um.
Never mind. I'll explain later. But saving Cordy and getting rid of
Skip is the first thing we have to do. Then we can deal with Holtz
when he comes.” Connor said.
Then
Connor wondered if it was all really that simple.
Could
he really save them all by changing those two small events that lead
to the bigger things?
Well
Connor sure hoped it was that easy.
“What
about me? How did I die?” Fred asked.
Connor
looked sad then. It hadn't hurt him until his memories came back.
“I
think your death was the worst. Because the person that murdered you
now has your body as it's own. There was this sarcophagus and it had
the essence of an ancient evil called an old one. It was one of the
original demons. This guy at wolf ram and heart set it up because he
thought you were worthy. It was painful and very sad. And you died
and your soul was destroyed in the fires of resurrection that brought
Illyria back. My father and everyone else had to find a way to take
her powers or it would have destroyed the body. But she still has one
very devastating power. She looks like you. I think I'd rather see
you truly dead then have to see the one who murdered you in your
body.” Connor said truthfully.
“What
about me?” Gunn asked.
“You
died in last nights battle. You were injured before you got to the
battle field and so you didn't stand much of a chance. You Spike
Illyria and my father met in an alley and I felt it when my father
was gone. I don't know what happened to Wesley but I think he's dead
too. You really should have known that no mortal could stand a chance
against a powerful wizard. I wanted to fight too. But you made me
leave. You wouldn't let me fight because you knew you wouldn't
survive. How could you do that to me? How could you leave me like
that. I could have helped you in battle. You wouldn't even let me
try.” Connor said frustrated.
“If
I knew that I didn't stand a chance in making it out of that battle
then I knew you wouldn't either. And I wouldn't have wanted you in
that kind of danger. I knew my time was over and it was your time to
be the champion. Let me ask you something son. Are you changing the
past to save the future or to stop what happened to us?” Angel
asked curious about Connors true reasons.
“Both.
To save you and to save them too. Either way changing things here
will save the lives of many innocent people. ” Connor said.
A
second later the wind blew and the clock stopped chiming because time
had been frozen.
Angel
and Connor looked around and then at each other.
Then
a woman in a white dress appeared and looked at Angel.
“I'm
sorry. I cannot freeze the dead .” then she turned to Connor.
“Connor.
I am the angel of destiny. And I need to tell you that if you do
this............Your destiny will change. And you will die.
Everything has a price. The price for changing the time line will be
your life. But I am willing to make you a deal. There is a way for
you to live. I want to use my power to send you even further back in
time. To what really started it all. The time line was changed once
before. And because of that deed everything was changed. If you can
stop it then everything will happen the way it should have the first
time.” the angel said.
“Wait
who changed it then the demon that wanted Connor dead?” Angel
asked.
“No.
Darla having Connor changed it. You see. Darla wasn't suppose to have
a baby. She was suppose to have two babies. A boy and a girl. And she
would have but the girl used magic to go back in time. She cast a
spell on Darla while she was asleep in your hotel. The spell
basically made Darla lose the other baby. And that is why Darla began
to lose Connor. Twins are very close to each other even in the womb.
If one dies. The other usually dies as well. So when your daughter
took the life of her fetus your son no longer wanted to be there
either. But I will send Connor back to when his sister changed the
time line so that he can stop her. Connor all I can tell you is that
your sister has long brown hair and blue eyes like you. But you will
know her when you see her. You will sense it even though you have
never seen her before. You will know. And before I leave you there I
will speak to Angel myself and tell him that you are his son. I
should be taking you back to right after your mother and father
realized that you had a soul. Which is when your sister appeared. You
must stay with your mother until your sister comes. You must stop
your sister from killing herself. But you must tell me are you
willing or not?” the angel asked.
“Yes.
I'll go” Connor said happy about this new information. Because it
meant that he could grow up with his father and apparently he had a
sister too.
“Wait.
Why did my daughter take her life anyway?” Angel asked.
“She
thought it was for the best. Your daughter was very unique. She had a
power that she couldn't control. Because of this power she
accidentally hurt people. One day Buffy tried to attack your daughter
thinking she was a threat to humanity. But it was Buffy that lost her
life that night. Your daughters destiny changed the night she killed
the slayer. But she didn't know this. She was so afraid that you
would hate her that she went back in time and destroyed herself
before anyone had the chance to tell her that she was the new slayer.
Your daughter was meant to replace the slayer. In the original time
live Darla lived. Due to your daughters power she was able to deliver
both babies. And once she gave birth she was rewarded with a soul.
You and Darla were suppose to raise your children. Along with the
rest of your friends. Because of your daughter you never got the
chance. She didn't know that it was her that allowed Darla to deliver
them. Your daughter has great power. But she has always believed that
because of that power she might be evil. Now I will send Connor back
and Connor you must tell them who you are.” the angel said and then
waved her hand and a portal appeared.
“Go
through that and you will be where you need to be.” the angel said.
Connor
nodded then looked at Angel. “Don't worry dad. I'm gonna fix this.
I think I was meant to fix this. I think that's why it worked.
Because I was suppose to meet the angel and change things back to the
way there suppose to be. I'll see you later dad.” Connor said and
then walked through the portal.
To
be continued................

writer so I can do that!!
