Part 4

Angelus was shocked beyond belief. First of all, his blonde goddess had just skinned a woman with the flick of her hand. 'How the hell did she get that powerful? No, the question is, when did she become a witch? Even if she started as soon as soul boy left, she should be still doing chants, powders, and major concentration.' Second of all, Buffy was actually happy that she killed someone, not to mention burned alive. 'If she's evil, we'll tear this world apart together. Oh yeah, this world will burn.'

"So," Angelus began, "When did you first become a witch?" Angelus asked. He was going to be gentle because he didn't want to hurt her. 'Ah fuck, I'm turning into a pussy.'

Buffy looked at him with wide, luminous eyes. She was scared he would hate her.

Buffy walked over to the bed and sat next to him. She caressed his face.

"Three months ago." Buffy answered truthfully. The look in his eyes reassured her.

Once again, Angelus found himself rendered speechless. 'It was damn near impossible to even be able to produce a glamour, let alone kill someone.'

"How, kitten?" Angelus questioned gently. She looked delicate, fragile. It was new to him to see her like that.

Buffy raised her hand and chanted," Okete Elekamente."

A screen, remarkably resembling a TV, appeared in front of them. The screen replayed the major events form the past year in fast motion.

1. Buffy admitting to Spike about being in Heaven.

2. The Nerd Trio playing tricks and spells on Buffy.

3. Xander and Anya's engagement.

4. Dawn lying about where she was going and who she was with.

5. Giles leaving Buffy.

6. Buffy sleeping with Spike for the first time.

7. Willow's addiction to magic.

8. Buffy's birthday disaster.

9. Xander's wedding to Anya disaster.

10. Spike attempting rape on Buffy.

11. Tara and Buffy getting shot by Warren.

12. Willow's killing spree, and Giles return.

13. Xander saving the world.

14. Buffy absorbing the magic, and the gang's bad reaction to it.

15. Buffy leaving Sunnydale after trying to kill them.

16. Her going to Wolfram and Hart, and them showing her everything that happened to Angel this past year.

17. Buffy going on a temporary killing spree in the W&H office, because of Cordelia Chase.

18. Buffy bringing Angelus back.

19. Lilah's punishment.

20. Finally, the killing of Rosemary Johnson.

Angelus turned to her, game face evident, before taking a few deeps breaths of unneeded air. He looked at her again with his human face, but his usually chocolate brown eyes were now saffron.

"Let me get this straight." Angelus started. "You fucked Spiked. You liked fucking Spike. You let Spike almost rape you, and you got upset over the fact that I, not soul boy, had a fucking crush on that fucking ass bitch, Cordelia. First of all, he didn't really love her; she was just a replacement for you. Second of all, you fucked Spike! How is that fucking fact supposed to compare with you fucking Spike?" Angelus growled. "You're mine Buffy! Mine!" Angelus knew that he would have to apologize when he calmed down, because Buffy immediately burst into tears.

Angelus grabbed her with wide eyes and started whispering, "I'm sorry kitten; you know that I hate it when somebody else touches you. Please forgive me; I can't stand to see you this way."

Buffy settled down and they both just sat there, not wanting to ruin the mood. It was peaceful until a person's voice rang out.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? I'm disappointed in you my precious. You were supposed to kill the girl, not coddle her."

Angelus looked at her in shock, and Buffy, who'd already seen this in her premonition, remained calm.

In front of them was a very, very undead
