Hell…

It was quiet now, so very, very quiet. The was no sound, no light…nothing. Just Emptiness.

These were times Angel hated the most.

At first he had been grateful for them, a few moments relief from the constant pain he was in, and from the constant torture inflicted upon him.

But Angel soon realized that these times of peace were their own torture, a torture much worse that any other you could imagine.

For these were tortures not on the body, but on the soul.

These moments gave him time to reflect, to re-live the mistakes he had made, and the things he had left unsaid.

At first he was once again plagued with the guilt he felt for all the lives he had taken, for all the friends he had hurt and killed. But it had been plaguing him for so long now he had almost become used to it.

And so Angel had unknowingly begun looking for other things to regret.

And then he found something…someone.

Willow.

And so now his thoughts we constantly plagued with her. And he had to live ith all his missed chances to tell her how her felt. To tell Willow how much he had…did care for her.

But now he would never get the chance.

Now, even in the emptiness of this place it continued.

His captors had managed to learn of his secret and took great pleasure in torturing him with the knowledge. Of how he could never have her, of how she would never have wanted him. It never ended.

Then one day, in his silent prison of pain and unsaid feelings, he saw a light…

And felt himself falling…and then he hit something, something that didn't exist in hell, something that existed only on earth…something intangible…life.

The End
