17 thousand years b.c.

Egypt is so sunny. I wonder why the people haven't gone in the pyramids yet. Oh yea! Forgot about the secrecy factor. No one knows there are no real dead people in there. And such a pity this is, the make shade (the pyramids). You know, Egypt is not very interesting place, not after you've lived here for two hundred years, that is. Not that there's any place to go, other than the desert. I'm hearing rumors that the ouji is going to travel through the sea above Guise, I'm thinking of asking him to tag along.

Damien is lost again, he'll come home eventually, but I'm still worried. The instinct of the protector of the weak I suppose. Well, I'm going to the high priest now, he promised to play some new game with me, I think he's going to try to cheat again. The tattoo is burning me again. This can't be good…

Present days!

What happened so far…?

"So, what are we going to do?" said Oz

"Hmmm."

Spike was getting frustrated. What did they mean? What could they do?

"What we always do. We put a watch in the city and we search for… things."

"Wait. Slow down, I am really confused. Put a watch? Search?" Angel really didn't like the sound of that.

"Yes!" said Nev as if this was the most normal thing. "Now. Let's get the positions…"

"Will I have to send someone to get killed?" said Willow sarcastically.

"No, call Wave; tell him to position his men."

"It's getting dangerous, isn't it?"

Nev just looked around the room and smiled sadly when she set her eyes on Spike.

"You have no idea!"

You have absolutely no idea.

"O.k., that's it. I want to know what's going on. Willow can we talk?" said Angel

Willow looked at him incredously.

"Who? Me?" she pointed at herself

"Yes."

She breathed in deeply.

"Oh,oh, she's getting ready for the blow." Spike heard Oz saying

"Angel, since when do you turn to me for explanation?"

"Willow…" Angel gaped

"Why don't you call Giles, or Buffy… or you should really try communicating with Xander?" her tone was cold.

"Didn't…"

"You know it's not very nice ignoring me for years, and then just demanding from me to tell you what I know, just because I'm the only person, except for Oz, who knows something."

"Willow, I…"

"Save it. Drake, guys let's get going, sunrise is soon. I don't want you to run to home." With that said she stormed off of the room.

Angel looked at the others.

"I didn't mean… I don't know what she is talking about."

Oz shook his head.

"Angel, Spike, go sleep. We'll tell you everything in the evening…Right?" he looked over to Nev

"Right, go sleep it off."

"Alright, I'll see you after sunset I guess."

And Angel and Spike left.

"You really are going to tell them everything?" asked Oz

"Just what they need to know. I'm going to make a call."

Somewhere else in the worlds

"Yoo-hoo!" a blonde guy was surfing and having the time of his life.

His name was Wave; he loved water so much that his friends never called him anything else. That's why now he was surfing at the shores of T'Saed (a world made mostly of water) and was trying to ignore the distant call of his cell phone. But no such luck.

"Alright, alright, I am coming. Sheesh!" he shrugged in annoyance and went to answer. "This is Wave speaking!"

"…"

"Yeah, I could be there!"

"…"

"Shoot! I'm finally getting some action."

"…"

"See you there!"

His cell clicked and his battery was dead.

"Finally!"

He smirked and a jewel on his forehead shined with blue light.

Back in LA

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Huh?"

"Why didn't you tell me that Willow was alive and in LA?"

"Oh, come on. How can you ask me that? What was I supposed to say? I mean, I was going to tell you but when you told me that she was missing for so long, I decided to first clear things up with her, before I tell you."

Angel shook his head and sighed. Spike rolled his eyes and unlocked the door to his flat.

"You should have told me anyway."

"No!"

"You didn't hear Buffy on the phone…"

"Stop thinking about Buffy for a while, I mean, I love her too, I think about her the whole time, but this isn't about Buffy, it's about Red. Cor, she is supposed to be your friend, do you even consider Red, when you are talking about the situation? No! The only thing you think about is that Buffy was upset. She was Red's best friend. Come on Peaches, do you really think that Red- sweet, friendly witch Red would just go without even considering her friends?"

"I-I…"

"You didn't even think about it, did you? You know, I think she's always thought of you as Angel- her friend. But the only way thought about her, is Willow- Buffy's friend. I don't think you talked that much to her either."

"Like you did." Snorted Angel

"I didn't because I was bad, but that doesn't mean that I didn't notice and acknowledge her as a friend."

"I guess you are right."

"Of course I'm right and now that Red's back I think that I'm going to try to be her friend."

Angel sighed.

Willow, was pacing in her office. Since she met Nev her power sensitivity had grown incredibly, today was a stressful day, not only because of the current situation of demon migration in L.A., but… did he had to come, she never really realized how strong the magic of his soul was… because it was strong, very strong. When she came in that library earlier that day it almost knocked her out and then she realized that it was out of control and it was only a matter of time before the essence of the soul destroyed not only Angel but everyone around him too. There was only one thing she could do… to bind the soul to the body.

She sighed and slumped on her chair. Yeah, she was going to secure Angel's soul…

"But how?" she whispered more to herself than the sake of telling it out loud.

There was a knock on her door, she stood up lazily and opened it.

"Hay, there. Long time no seen."

She smiled widely; an idea just came in her mind. Wave was a sorcerer. She lunged to hug him with yell.

"Wave, it's so good to see you. I missed you so much."

"I missed you too, munchkin."

She hit his shoulder playfully.

"Stop calling me that. You're making me blush."

He tickled her a little and went in sitting on the couch.

"So, what's the big deal. Another apocalypse coming in for breakfast?"

"Hey, don't joke about things like that." She said sitting beside him and hugging him. "I'm so happy you are here." She said sadly.

"He's here, isn't he?"

"Yeah, he is…"

"What's wrong?"

She seemed so sad.

"It's the soul."

"The soul? Oh, the soul, Angel's soul, the soul that leads to Angel's redemption… That soul?"

"Yes, that soul. I … I think, its sleaping away. I don't really know if he's been acting any differently but… it's slowly but surely losing control of the demon. I don't know what to do. I don't want Angelus to be back."

"What do you want me to do?"

Somewhere else

Great, just great! How did this happen, why is it always me? It wasn't enough that there were vampire bystanders, why did it have to be him? Her mental tirade continued while she was pacing in her room. It wasn't supposed to happen. It burns, it burns with the power of rage. What now? I must not lose control…Decisions, decisions, to make!

At the library

Oz was making huffing noises while he was arranging the library's archives.

"So, boring. I don't remember me ever being that boring."

He continued going trough the stuff when he heard a noise from the street and he went to check it out. Surely enough Spike and Angel were fighting and throwing insults at each other.

"Soooo…" drawled Oz, getting their attention "How's life?" He joked

"Ha, ha, wolf boy, very funny." Said Spike going in the library.

"Sorry!" apologized Angel for him.

Spike and Angel sat on a couch and got quiet. In that moment Nev came whistling something under her nose. Spike suddenly yanked his head up.

"What's wrong?" asked Angel

"Nothing just thought I heard something."

"Hey, guys." Said Nev joyously

She hoped on the couch next to them and continued humming the melody.

"What's that?" asked Spike

"What?"

"The melody you're humming. What is it?"

"It's a song I used to sing… well, some time ago."

Spike nodded and averted his gaze from her. Nev smiled at him. At this moment the door was yanked… again. And in went Wave and Willow laughing and hugging. Angel narrowed his eyes, this boy…

"Hey, everyone, look who I found." Said Willow

"Wave!" exclaimed Nev and went to hug him

Oz followed and hugged Wave too.

"Angel, Spike, I want you to meet, Wave, meet Angelus and William the Bloody." Nev introduced them.

Angel reluctantly shook Wave's hand and threw Willow a critical look.

"What?" she snapped

"What have I ever done to you?" he asked hurt

"What are you talking about?" she asked ignoring completely his look of disapproval

Spike snickered and shook the boy's hand. He seemed nice enough.

Nev's gaze lingered on Spike and soon her face was graced with a gentle smile, Spike caught her gaze and a distant voice filled his mind. Wo ai ni he heard.

Sicily

Three young men were sitting on the beach enjoying the moonlight caresses.

"How is it possible?" said one of them looking up to the moon, which caught his blue eye and it blinked.

"There has to be some explanation." Answered the second man

The three were quiet.

"I feel something." Said the third one, the other two looked at him expectantly. "We should go see mother, she would know what to do…"

"If she didn't do it herself, that is." Said the first one

There was another long silence between them.

"Let's go home" said the second one and headed to an unknown direction followed by his two companions.

17 thousand years b.c.

Just as I suspected. The high priest did cheat again, not that I mind, it's fun when he's cheating, I just wish he could admit it from time to time. Oh well, we can't have everything, can we? My tattoo is burning again, actually it hasn't stopped since the last time I wrote this… I'm getting concerned. Tomorrow I shall seek Toth, he must have some kind of explanation. And then I'll decide what fate these events shall have.

A.N: This is it for now. Enjoy and review.
