SPOILERS: What's My Line 2 If you haven't seen the ep then you will have no idea what this is about.
SUMMARY: Angel's POV at the end of WML.

Something's happening! The dagger's gone! My life isn't being torn from my body any more.

I have to move…I have to get away before Spike comes back!

Oh, God, the pain! I can't move without waves of agony flooding through me.

I think there's a fire. Is that why Spike left? Has he fled with Drucilla and left me to burn?

What's that noise? Has the roof caved in?

I try to move, to find out what's happening but I'm too weak. I lie on my back like an overturned turtle and wait for a death I can't see.

Someone's touching me! Is it Spike? Surely, he would never hold me this way…Drucilla then? Have they returned to finish the ritual?

I struggle to move – I have to do something. Then I hear a soft voice, "Hi."

I know that voice! Is it a dream? Has she really come?

I struggle to focus, to see the face of the person above me.

At first there is nothing but light and colours, meaningless patterns that gradually coalesce into her beloved face.

She's here!

I stop fighting and relax in her arms, savouring the feel of her warm hand stroking my face as I keep my eyes locked with hers.

Nothing can harm me as long as she's there. Even the pain is suddenly less intense.

I'm safe now.
