Title: Charmed Destiny
Author: Kira
Pairing: Angel/Piper
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: I Will Remember You
Disclaimer: I don't own Angel and Charmed so please don't sue me!
Author's Note: I wrote this fic a months ago when I watched "I Will Remember You" episode so many times and I got inspiration for writing Angel/Piper fic so this was perfect somehow. But Buffy doesn't appear in my fic so this a slight different than real storyline.
Summary: Piper has start new life in Los Angeles but what happens when new destiny brings her and certain vampire with a soul together?

Chapter 1

There was a lousy noise and horrible stinch. Angel was in Hell where the fallen ones were suffering for evil sins for eterinity. The flames of the fire were roaring around him but those even didn't marked his skin at all. He tried to rise up on his feet but every time he collapsed on the ground. He was tired to gather his strenght and his hole naked body was covered with wounds. He couldn't stand the fallen one's screams of suffering and sent of the death. He just wanted to escape from hell prison.

All of sudden Angel noticed bright white light that was coming slowly towards him. When the light faded away, he was looking at the woman who looked like an angel wearing satin white dress. Her hair was shoulder lenght and the color was dark brown. She got down with her knees as she gazed at him in worried. Angel was in amazed as he stared the beautiful vision before him. Who was she? Is she Angel’s guardian angel?

Angel: Who are you?
P: It’s allright. You don’t have to be afraid anymore.
Her voice sounded peaceful and Angel knew this woman wasn’t going to hurt him.
Angel: Help me...
P: Everything is going to be okay.
Then she was holding out her hand at him and he looked silently at her.
P: Trust me. Take my hand.
Without hesitation, Angel grabbed her hand gently as she helped him to rise on his knees. He couldn’t stop staring at her and she was gorgeous angel from the heaven in his eyes. She was staring into Angel’s chocolate brown eyes as she smiled warmly at him. She caressed his cheek with her right hand softly.
P: Are you ready to go home?
Angel: I don’t wanna leave without you.
P: You’ll find me soon and we’ll be together. I’m waiting for you...
She placed tender kiss on Angel’s forehead until everything changed into white...

Angel woke up quickly from strange dream. He looked at the watch and it was 6.00 AM. He still had a couple of hours to sleep. He rested his head on the pillow again as he started thinking about the mysterious woman of the dream. She looked absolutely beautiful in white light and secretly Angel felt himself as human for the first time even he was a demon with a soul. He probably had known that woman of his dreams wasn’t even exist but everytime he saw or thought about her, he had always fallen in love with her again.

In month he had these dreams every night and they were meant something to him. Angel wasn’t even sure yet but he had a feeling that something was coming and likely it could mean the battle between good and evil.

Chapter 2

In Halliwell Manor Piper was standing on the middle of the attic wearing white satin dress. The bright light appeared in front of her until the light faded away. There was woman with blonde hair and she wearing a gown of 1500 century. She smiled sweetly at Piper who was speechless at the sight.
Piper: Melinda? What are you doing here?
Melinda: I came here to bring you the message. Someone needs your help.
Piper: Okay. If may I ask who is someone.
Melinda: Someone who had done a lot of good things against the evil but he is suffering for his sins of the past as in human ways.
Piper: Wait a second! It is “he” as we speaking of “someone”. I get that but you said he’s suffering for his sins.
Melinda: He has done a lot of terrible things in last year but he deserves more than torment and agony.
Piper hadn’t no clue what her ancestress was talking about.
Piper: How can I rescue him if I don’t know where he’s now?
Melinda: I’ll send you through the fire of hell to help him. But when you both are in reality, you two will face your destiny.
Piper walked a little closer to her ancestress.
Piper: What do you mean? The Power Of Three doesn’t exist anymore when Prue and Phoebe are gone.
Melinda: The future depends on the Blessed One and your destiny is carrying our only hope. It will continues where you and your sisters were left off. But before that time comes, search the love of your life from the city of the angels.
Piper: What? Am I falling in love? Who’s the man who I’m suppose to help him?
Melinda: Be blessed, my child....

Piper woke up as she noticed laying on the couch in different living room. She rose up from the couch and looked around as the sunlight lit up the room. For that moment Piper thought she was in her home sweet home in San Francisco but she realized quicky that she was in her new apartment in Los Angeles.

Piper was now thinking about her dream of her ancestress Melinda Warren. She had these dreams for a month but before those new dreams she had dreamed of the hell and the man who needed her help. Piper didn’t remember much about her first dreams but she felt in her heart that man was real. She loved the man of her dreams badly knowing he probably wasn’t even exist and that thought had broken her heart into the pieces. But she hadn’t no idea what kind of the future was waiting for her in City of the Angels.

SexyLex, I'm so glad of your feedback!!:D Anyway here's new chapter. Enjoy!:)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 3

2 weeks later Doyle had a vision about Buffy and Angel had gone back to Sunnydale to make sure his ex-girlfriend’s safety. When he was in Hell Mouth, all the demons of the darkness were preparing something bigger that would meant really bad thing for Angel and his crew. Only the Powers That Be knew the time of Angel’s new destiny and it will be revealed soon to the others.

~~

In one dark night Piper opened the door as she stepped into her apartment. When she turned the lights on, she noticed the destruction of her apartment and the splinters of the window were on the floor. Piper realized someone had broken into her apartment and went in panic mode when she started searching for her old book. She knew perfectly where she had hidden the book. She walked into her bedroom, getting down on her knees and reached her hand under the chest of drawers and pulled The Book Of Shadows under from drawers. Luckily the thief didn’t stole this book because it would’ve got into the wrongs hands.

When Piper put the book on her bed and was going to the bathroom, Book of Shadows opened itself for a certain page. She turned around to look in amazed and sat down on her bed to read the page that Book wanted to show her. But it was totally strange that she or the sisters had never seen this page before because there was a prophecy of the future which was made by Brianna Warren, Piper’s Great-great-great aunt. Piper read the page as she let out a small breath of suprise and the shock.
Piper: Oh my God...
She closed the book and went to get her stuff from the bathroom. She packed her clothes and the stuff she needed to survive. She searched the keys of her apartment from her pocket but instead of the keys, she found a calling card of Angel Investigations that Piper got it from her co-worker. She put the card back into the pocket grabbing her bag and the book and walked to the front door.
Piper: I have to get out of here before...
All of sudden the green skinned Samurai demon with a curved sword and a red jewel in his forehead appeared in front of her and it’s eyes were glowing green. The demon was big compared to Piper’s height. Piper screamed with fright as the demon was approaching at her dangerously.

~~

Meanwhile in Angel Investigations office the beautiful brunette Cordelia Chase turned off the lights expect the last one just in case if she had forgotten something. Suddenly a strong supernatural wind opened the door and she gazed at it in wonder. She walked slowly and quietly to the door to had a look to corridor but there was no one around.
Cordy: Haloo?
There was no one responding and Cordelia closed the door. When she turned around, she discovered the roll of parchment on her desk. Funny thing was she hadn’t seen this scroll before.

Without hesitation she took the scroll and opened it carefully. Cordelia wasn’t even the expert of languages translation but luckily for her the part of the scroll was written with english. Her eyes widened with surprise as she read the words that she hadn’t seen them coming.
Cordy: Vampire with a soul...This can’t be real.
Without her noticing, her co-worker Brachen-half demon Allen Francis Doyle just came from Angel’s office.
Doyle: I thought you’ve left.
She teared her eyes off the scroll and gazed at her friend.
Cordy: I’m probably losing my mind but have you seen this scroll before?
He moved next to her and took the scrool from her hands. He read it for a little unknowing what was written.
Doyle: I’ve never seen this before.
Cordy: Never?
Doyle: Not in my life. Where did you get this?
Cordy: It was strange. I was ready to leave until strong wind might opened the door. When I closed the door, I turned around and it was on my desk. How can the scroll will appear from middle of nowhere?
He continued reading contents of the scroll closely. He didn’t want to believe his eyes as the realization hit him like a thunder.
Doyle: Is this a prophecy?
Cordy: How the hell I know but it looks like. Angel needs to know about this.
Doyle: But he doesn’t have own cell phone when he’s in Hell Mouth.
Cordy: I have Willow’s number. Maybe she had seen him.

When Cordelia was going to pick up the phone, Doyle felt sharp pain cutting his skull and closed his eyes immediately as he almost collapsed on the floor but luckily Cordelia grabbed him on his shoulders. The images flashed so fast in his head when he noticed the fire, destruction and the little girl killing demons with her powers.

Opening his eyes as the pain of the vision faded slowly away, he was breathing calmly and Cordelia was looking at him in worried. She knew Doyle had a new vision.
Cordy: Are you okay? What did you see?
Doyle: I saw the future that wasn’t even pretty sight at all.
Cordy: What do you mean?
He looked at his friend also in worried.
Doyle: This city will get company from hell if only Angel comes back from his trip.

Chapter 4

After couple of days Angel had returned to Los Angeles and he was filled up with news of the prophecy and Doyle’s vision.
Angel: I’m going to be WHAT?!
Cordy: You heard right mister! You’re going to be a dad...I mean not soon but somewhere in near future.
Angel: That’s impossible. Vampires can’t have own children.
Doyle: We know that part but it’s a huge chance for you, mate.
Angel sat down on Cordelia’s desk thinking about conversation. He didn’t mind having own children but his dream of his family had faded away when Darla turned him into vampire. He hadn’t seen this coming which was a really big suprise and most of all, he could see the future with his child but without Buffy.
Angel: When the baby will be born?
Co-workers looked each other as Angel read their faces that they didn’t know when the child should be born. They looked back at their leader.
Cordy: Actually we aren’t that far in translation. I’m saying we need a expert to translate this mysterious prophecy so that we could understand with our own language!
Doyle: At least we know my vision is connected to the prophecy. But the big question is; Who’s the future mother of the prophecy child?
Cordy: Good point. She could live here. In Los Angeles.
Angel: I’ll call to Giles to tell him about the scroll. Let me know if we get client.
He walked through his office to elevator which was taking him to his basement apartment.

Meanwhile Cordelia moved her eyes from the elevator to her friend.
Doyle: This baby thing must happening too fast for him. But thinking about the bright side, he’s still trying to get over Buffy.
Cordy: I truly hope so because our broody dark avenger needs someone he can feel the connection with. Whoever it is the future mother of prophecy child, she could be part of our family.
Doyle beamed at Cordelia for her positive words.
Doyle: Let’s not forget if the mother doesn’t scare to see Angel’s vampire side.
Suddenly the phone was ringing and Cordy answered the call.
Cordy: Angel Investigations, we help the hopeless. How can we help you? A demon problem? We could discuss this privately. If you have time...that would be great. I’ll see you soon. Bye!
She hang up the phone, letting out a sigh.
Cordy: We got new case. She will be here any minute.
Doyle: I’m going to tell Angel.

After 15.min the darkbrown lady stepped into Angel Investigations as Cordelia noticed her arrival.
Cordy: You must be Piper Halliwell.
Piper: I hope I’m in right place.
Cordy: Of course. You made it.
They shaked their hands politely.
Cordy: I’m Cordelia Chase, the assistent. He should be here soon.
Piper gazed the office with curiousity and her opinion the office looked cosy.
Cordy: Do you want some drink?
Piper sat down on the couch.
Piper: No thank you. I just drank the coffee before I got here. So you all save the hopeless and fight against the demons.
Cordy: And vampires, ghosts and lots of evil baddies. But vampire subject is too familiar to me.
Piper: Wait a second! Vampires are exist? And here I am who have known a lot of demons and vanquishing them almost in year.
Cordelia was in confused about Piper’s comment.
Cordy: Are you demon hunter or something?
Piper laughed a little at the word “demonhunter”.
Piper: No, I’m not. Actually I’m the witch.
Cordy: That’s just great! I meet the new witch in Los Angeles. How my life becomes more interesting.
Piper: Tell me about it.
They heard steps from Angel’s office as Piper rose up from the couch. Doyle arrived first as he noticed Piper.
Doyle: You must be miss Halliwell. I’m Doyle.
Piper: Nice to meet you.
They shaked hands quickly before Angel appeared in to the lounge.
Cordy: And here’s Angel, the man who can help you.

When Angel saw Piper for the first time, his heart was in his throat. She looked totally amazingly beautiful and familiar which Angel couldn’t even remember anything yet. He was feeling mysterious attraction to Piper and he needed to be control himself because he was in love again. He could hear Piper’s heart beating a little faster, wishing with all of his heart that she would feel the same thing for him.

Piper couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Angel for the first time. She let out a small sigh as she still stared at the handsome man. For once her heart was beating much faster as emotions were swirling inside of her. The man of her dreams was real and she was now falling in love with Angel. She wanted to be sure this wasn’t a dream anymore and part of her was afraid that Angel would disappear in front of her if she thought she was still dreaming. Piper was feeling mystical bond taking shape between her and Angel. She wanted to stay in this moment forever.

At then Angel decided to break the silence.
Angel: Have a seat, miss.
Piper sat down on the couch again.
Angel: So how can we help you?
Piper: I think there is a demon after me.
Angel: Tell us about it.
She let out a sigh as she started speaking.
Piper: One night I came home late from work and someone had broken into my apartment. Nothing valued have been taken.
Doyle: What this demon looked like?
Piper: It was tall green skinned with red jewel in his forehead. It seemed to be dangerous samurai hired killer.
Angel: How did you get away?
Piper: You guys probably thinking me as crazy but I used my gift to stop the demon and I escaped. I needed to be hidden that demon wouldn’t find me anywhere.
Both men were now in confused as Piper mentioned about her gift but Cordelia already knew she was the witch.
Angel: When you said about your gift...
Piper: I’m the witch but magical one. I have interesting family tree up to 1600's century but I wasn’t witch not too long. I discovered the truth about myself one year and two months ago.
Cordy: What kind of power do you have?
Piper: Molecular immobilization which means I could freeze anything but that doesn’t affect on the witches. And I don’t know why am I telling you this because magic needs to hidden from the mankind.
At then Doyle and Cordy gazed at their boss. It looked like they had a lot of information what they needed.
Doyle: What are going to do now, boss?
Angel: Maybe Piper could stay with Cordelia as we’ll get into this case from the bottom. Is that okay with you?
He asked Cordelia who nodded.
Cordy: Sure. I need some girl company even I have a ghost as a room mate.
Piper: You have a ghost?
Cordy: That’s quite long story, I’ll tell you later.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 5

In 5 days Angel and his gang hadn’t gone far with new case but they were pretty sure that demon was trying a second chance to kill Piper. Meanwhile Piper had learned Doyle’s profile and his Brachen demon side better. She was first suprised of Doyle’s demon side but quickly she learned that not all of the demons are evil and she understood why Doyle still couldn’t tell Cordelia about his secret.

She and Cordelia had got along pretty well. It was first time Piper had found a friend who would always be trusted with her secrets. Cordy had learned a couple of spells from Book of The Shadows even she wasn’t a witch at all. She told Piper about her life in Sunndyale, her friends and of course Angel and Buffy’s relationship.

Attraction was getting so much stronger by every day between Angel and Piper. What more they avoided each other, their feelings had grown much faster. Angel had never felt this way for the woman he could feel the mystical bond with her which that would mean only one thing: Soul mates. He could always sworn that he had seen Piper before but the only problem was he couldn’t remember anything. He had thought about telling Piper the truth of himself but didn’t know how he was suppose to do it without scaring Piper away.

Piper had come to think about her situation which was lead to Angel and his gang. It was pretty odd when she had moved in Los Angeles, she had weird dreams about mysterious man and her ancestress telling her that new destiny was waiting for her but she didn’t quite understand the meaning. According to Brianna Warren’s prophecy the child would be come more powerful than other witches of the Halliwell but Piper didn’t know who was going to be the father of her future child and deep in her heart she wished the man would be Angel. Her only problem was how she was going to expose her feelings for Angel without awkward moment.

~~~~

In warmly night Cordelia was approaching to her apartment until vampire sneaked and grabbed her tightly from behind. She tried to struggle but vampire’s grip was too strong as the other one came from shadows preparing to drain Cordelia’s blood dry. Che screamed help but there was no one to help until she heard familiar voice behind the vampire.
Piper: Hey, Tough Guy!
Vampire turned around to see Piper pointing a crossbow at him in target as she shot the arrow straight into his dead heart. He exploded to dust as the other one threw Cordelia out of the way to kill Piper. Luckily Piper was fast enough to freeze vampire with her power as Cordelia took a wooden sharp stake and stabbed the last one into dust. Then they looked at each other in amazed as they were breathing slight heavily.
Piper: You’re okay?
Cordy: Yeah but your power... it totally kick ass! I wish I have powers too but I like normal life.
Piper: Sometimes I wish I would have a normal life.
Cordy: You could say the same thing about Angel.
Piper was now confused about Cordelia’s comment.
Piper: What do you mean by that?
Oh boy, Cordelia was in trouble. She had promised to herself that Angel would tell Piper about his dark past but she didn’t love to lie to her new female friend. Well, that’s it! Cordelia had enough of telling little white lies to Piper.
Cordy: Who am I kidding? He was supposed to tell you himself but sometimes I wanted so badly to tell you something about him.
Piper changed from confuse into suspicion mode.
Piper: Ok Cordy, what you didn’t tell me? I get this feeling that you and Doyle are hiding something that has to do with Angel. Am I right?
Cordy: Maybe it’s better you find out what it is and ask him.
Piper: It’s exactly what I’m going to do.
They walked slowly to Cordelia’s apartment for a short time until Cordy almost forgot something.
Cordy: Thanks for saving my butt out there. It was very brave thing.
They shared warm friendly smile before they arrived to the door.
Piper: What are friends for?

~~~~

Next morning Angel was sitting next to his desk, reading the book. It was deep silence because Cordelia and Doyle had gone for cappucino for a while. The silence was meant to be break as he heard steps assuming that his co-workers hadn’t been gone for a long from coffee break but when raised his head from the book, Piper step into his office.
Piper: Morning, Angel.
He put the book on his desk looking at her with curiousity.
Angel: Hi. Everything okay?
Piper: Fine sort of. Can we talk for a moment?
He nodded as she closed the door quietly and gazed at him with a serious look.
Piper: I want you to answer for my question and you need to be honest with me.
He might had a feeling what Piper was going to ask him.
Angel: Go ahead.
Piper: Is it true that you’re not normal like the other people? Because I’m seeing you in pale which that means you look dead which it is really weird to me and you avoiding the daylight like it is death to you.
His feeling had came true.
Angel: How did you figure out?
Piper: Cordelia insinuated something like that last night and I have my doubts. Angel, I deserve to know.

Piper was right. Angel wasn’t going to keep his dark past in secret forever from her. But tell you the truth, he was somehow relieved for needing to tell about his past. He rose up from the chair, walked around until he sat on his desk.
Angel: You may not believe this but...in reality I’m vampire.
Piper’s eyes widened with slight fear and suprise. That was Angel’s big secret?!
Piper: You’re what?! Wait a minute, are you not evil like the other vampires because I don’t understand? You had a every chance to kill me but you didn’t.
Angel: It’s kinda a long story.
Piper: Give me short version so that I would really understand.

He let out un-needed sigh as he started telling of his life story.
Angel: I was born and grown up in Galway, Ireland. One night I ran into Darla who turned me into vampire or the others words, she sired me. After rising from my grave, I killed my family. I took the name “Angelus” because my little sister Kathy thought I was an angel. Me and Darla killed a lot of people in Europe and we’re together for 140 years until the night in Romania I had killed the gypsy girl who was a favorite among her clan. The Old ones gave me perfect revenge, they restored my soul and I have to suffer as all of my victims had. Years later I met Whistler who was some sort of a good demon and he gave me a chance to be somebody. He wanted to show me something so I drove to LA and I saw Buffy Summers for the first time. I followed her to Sunnydale but in that time I was in love with her but I knew how she would’ve reacted when she find out about my true nature.

Piper was in awe what she had learned about Angel’s undead life. She was beginning to understand the truth.
Piper: Because of your nature you and Buffy weren’t together in the first place.
Angel: We tried to stay away from each other but we couldn’t resist our feelings. Then something happened when me and Buffy... were made love, I achieved the moment of the perfect happiness. I lost my soul and Angelus came back to kill more people. My friend Willow who is a witch like you for now, she managed to return my soul before Buffy thrusted the sword through my chest and sent me to Hell.
Piper: Oh my God. What happened next?
Angel: After four months, I escaped from hell but that part is still mystery for me. Me and Buffy went back together but in the time being I realized our relationship couldn’t work anymore. I broke up with Buffy, I moved here, met Doyle, bumped into Cordelia and started working for The Powers That Be to earn my redemption.
She was so touched of Angel’s life story but she needed time to adjust everything what Angel had just told her.
Piper: But why you didn’t tell me truth from the beginning?
He gazed down at the floor in slight ashamed.
Angel: I knew how you would react but I was afraid you wouldn’t love the vampire like me if you knew what I was.

Now Piper was a little shock of Angel’s confession. He had feelings for her? She wanted to know more.
Piper: How can you have feelings for me as we had just met 5 days ago?
Angel: I’ve felt this way since our first meeting. At the same time I felt like I had seen you before... in my dreams.
Suddenly Piper realized something what she had never come to think about it but Angel’s deep feelings for her was a big suprise as she felt the same way about him.
Piper: Those dreams...they’re about you. You were so much in pain.
Angel realized finally who he managed to escape from Hell.
Angel: I had same dreams...about you. You saved me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 6

The dreams that Angel and Piper had shared, his past and the emotions were might be a little too much for her. She wanted to get them straight before she would make any decisions.
Piper: Angel, I like you very much but... I need some time to get used of your being a souled vampire. And our dreams... I’m little confused. Wouldn’t be wrong if we are together now?
Angel: I’m not sure but without my curse it would feel right and I understand if you don’t want to get to know my vampire side.
Piper: I want that so much but I need some time to think straight. So maybe it’s better if we avoid each other for a while until we know at the right moment that we can finally be...
Angel: Together.
Piper: Yeah.
Then she walked slowly to the door.
Piper: So, I'm gonna go start thinking.

As Piper turned to go a green skinned Samurai demon with a curved sword and a red jewel in his forehead crashed through the window behind Angel and attacked him. Angel barely avoided the first stroke of his sword by rolling across his desk.
Piper: Angel!
The demon was coming at her dangerously until Angel tackled him on the floor, picking up the demon's sword and stabbed it in the gut. Some of its fluorescent green blood ran down the sword onto Angel's hand. The demon jumped back, pulled the sword out and jumped out of the window. Piper helped Angel to get up to his feet.
Piper: It’s second time when that demon tried to kill me.
Angel: It must be the demon you described. I’m going to the sewers.
He grabbed his coat, walking to the back door until Piper’s voice got his attention.
Piper: Angel
He turned around to look at her.
Piper: Be careful.
Angel nodded and went to his apartment which had connected to the sewers.

~~~~

Angel was walking in the dark tunnels as he was alert but didn’t notice two glowing green eyes watching his every move from behind. Suddenly the demon jumped out and attacked him from behind slicing across the palm of Angel's right hand as he spun around. Angel looked at the blood on his hand then vamped out and attacked. They fought against each other with weapons. The demon sliced off the head of Angel's battleaxe, and Angel managed to knock the sword out of the demon's hand. The demon pulled his short sword (about the same length as what's left of the axe handle) and they continued fighting.

In the end Angel managed to grab the demon's sword hand and turned it’s hand to stab it in the heart with it’s own sword. The demon fell back as Angel stared at the glowing green blood that covered his cut right hand. The blood swirled around and sank into his cut, which closed up in front of his eyes. A light raced from his right hand through his whole body as Angel collapsed with a strangled cry. He came back up rising on his knees gasping for air until he could feel and hear the sound of a heart beating. It was impossible and he couldn’t believe what had just happened. He stared at his hand in disbelief.
Angel: I'm alive.

~~~~

Moment later Doyle and Cordelia entered the office as they noticed destruction until Angel walked into the outer office a dazed expression on his face. They heard what happened in earlier this morning as they realized that Angel was totally mortal which was wonderful thing but they had a lot of questions. Cordelia went to search Piper as Angel asked her to not tell Piper what had happened before he would be sure what was happening now.

~~~~

Doyle found a lot of information about assassin demon as Angel reconized the picture of his and Piper’s attacker pointing the picture with his finger.
Angel: That's it.
Doyle: It's called a Mohra demon. They're pretty powerful assassins, soldiers of darkness kind of thing. They take out warriors for our side, like you and Piper. Needs vast amounts of salt to live.
The sun was shining through the window as Angel moved next to the window.
Angel: It was heading towards salt water.
Doyle: “Veins run with the blood of eternity.” There it is. It’s blood has regenerative properties.
Angel stared fascinated at his reflection in a window.
Angel: Which explains what happened to me. But it doesn't explain why.
Doyle closed the book as he gazed at his friend.
Doyle: Hey, what difference does it make, man? The demon's dead, you're alive! It's happy fun time.
Angel spun to confront Doyle.
Angel: What's going on here, Doyle?
Doyle: I don't know. I thought the only way for you to be made mortal was if the Powers That Be stepped in.
Angel: What, they could have done this? How come I keep getting the feeling that you're not telling me everything.
Doyle: Because I'm not. We're both on a need to know basis here.
Angel started pacing around as his head was filling with a lot of questions.
Angel: I need to know about this. Is this permanent? Am I - am I normal Joe now? Can I have a normal life? I want to speak to the Powers That Be.
Doyle: Woah, woah, woah! That's easier said then done, bud. The Powers That Be don't live in our reality. You have to approach them through channels. Dangerous channels.
Angel: Yeah, you know what? Start approaching!
Doyle knew he couldn’t win the little argument and put the book on Angel’s desk.
Doyle: All right. All right. Maybe we can try the Oracles. But hey, if they turn you into a toad, don't say I didn't warn you.

~~~~

Later Angel and Doyle entered in some underground chamber. There was a white stone arc in one wall. Angel read the foreign inscription above it
Angel: "The Gateway for Lost Souls”.
He turned to look at Doyle in confused.
Angel: Is under the post office?
Doyle: It makes sense if you think about it. Now listen, the Oracles are finicky and unpredictable. You do get in, don't dilly-dally. Ask your questions, get out.
Angel: Aren't you coming?
Doyle: Not allowed. I'm just a lowly messenger, you're a warrior.. if your heart is pure and I do this right..
He put some herbs in an urn.
Doyle: “We beseech access to the knowing ones..” We may just survive.
He put a lighter to the urn and it filled with high flames. The arc was glowing and filling with white light.
Doyle: You're in.

Angel stepped through the light into a white marble chamber as two glittery figures confronted him.
Brother: Come before us, lower being.
Sister: What have you brought us?
Angel: Was I supposed to..
Brother: You call us forth and bring us no offering?
Angel took off his wristwatch.
Angel: I brought you this.
Sister held out her hand and the watch flew to her. She smiled fascinated as she gazed at the watch.
Sister: I like Time. There is so little and so much of it.
Brother: Well?
Angel: What's happened to me?
She stepped to one side of Angel
Sister: It's true then, brother.
The other oracle was on Angel's other side.
Brother: He is no longer a warrior.
Angel: It was the demon's blood. It wasn't the Powers That Be that did this?
Brother: The Powers That Be? Did you save humanity? Avert the Apocalypse?
Sister: You faced a Mohra demon. Life goes on.
Angel: My life as a human. I'm not poisoned or under some spell?"
She looked up, after a beat.
Sister: The Auguries say no. If it has happened it was meant to be.
Brother: From this day, you will live and die as any mortal man.
Sister: Privy to all the attendant pains and pleasures.
Brother: That which we serve is no longer that which you serve. You are released from your fealty.
The sister and brother walked away from him.
Angel: That's it? I'm free?

Brother held up his hand and Angel went flying backwards out of the arc to land on top of Doyle as he helped him up.
Doyle: Angel, it didn't work?
Angel: Yes, it did.
Doyle: You just went in this instant.
Angel was staring at the arc.
Angel: What?
Doyle: Look at your watch.
Angel: I can't do that, Doyle. Next time remind me to bring a gift?
Doyle: I knew I forgot something. So, what happened? What did they say?
Angel’s gaze were back at the arc for a moment.
Angel: They're a little confusing, but... the gist of it is...
He turned around to look at his friend.
Angel: it's real. I'm free.
Doyle: I can't believe this.
Angel: Me either. I mean, what do I do now? I have this whole new life spread before me. I don't know where to begin.
Doyle: Right. It's overwhelming. You can pretty much do what ever you want now. The question is, what do you want?
At that moment Angel had found his answer because he only listened to his own heart.

Later Piper got the message from Angel and she was suppose to meet him in the park. She was walking in a park overlooking the beautiful beach. She found herself being alone and smelled the fresh air. Then she felt something and turned around to see the dark man stepping through a shadowed arch in a hedge until she realized the man was Angel. Piper was in amazed as she was wondering why the daylight didn’t kill him. She watched as he walked out into the sun towards her.

Angel took of notice her confusing look on her face as she looked more beautiful in sunlight. He wasn’t going to retreat as walked slowly towards her. When they’re close the gap between them, Angel lowered his head and kissed Piper for the first time gently. Their first kiss was full of love and tenderness. Piper kissed him back wrapping her arms around his neck as his arms were resting around her waist and they still continued kissing in the sunlight.

Chapter 7

Much later the clock was ticking on Ange’s desk and five o'clock. Cordelia and Doyle were sitting on the couch as they had conversation about Angel and Piper because they what just happened between them.
Cordy: I wonder what Angel and Piper are doing in the basement.
Doyle: I don’t want to imagine if they are getting on... you know what I mean.
She rolled her eyes.
Cordy: The last 2 1/2 hours of which they've spent down there in his apartment. Together.
Doyle: So? Don't they deserve a little happiness after all they've been through
Cordy: Piper does because she had lost sisters. But I’m not sure about Angel because he had a lot of time to get over the forbidden love-thing with Buffy.
Doyle: Well, he's not cursed anymore. And anyway, you can't be sure that he and Piper are..
Cordy: Oh, please! I’m not thinking about that but one thing I'm sure they are down there just having tea and crackers.

~~

Cordelia was right as Angel and Piper were sitting at opposite sides of his kitchen table, drinking tea. He poured some tea into his cup.
Angel: Would you like some more?
Piper: No, thank you.
There was awkward moment between Angel and Piper. They’re confused what had happened two and half hours ago in the park.
Angel: I'm not really sorry I kissed you like that. It feels like I wasn’t even myself anymore.
Piper: I know that feeling but it was amazing. I have to admit.
Angel: I don’t know is this a perfect time to start new relationship when I just found out my mortality is permanent thing.
Piper: You should be glad you don’t have curse anymore and you can finally be happy. We don’t know if the Powers are behind this if the Oracles speaks for them but I can still feel attraction between us.
He gazed at her for a moment as he knew she was telling a truth. He wanted to honest to himself and Piper.
Angel: I feel that too. Every time when you’re closer, the attraction pulls me much stronger.
Piper: That’s exactly I felt the same way when I met you at the first time. Of course I want to be with you...
But she didn't want to finish her sentence as she looked down at her cup. He got up with a sigh and moved to the chair next to her.
Angel: I'm not saying I don't want you. You know how much.. I'm just saying it's worth the wait to be sure this is right. I need to be sure you won't get hurt by me."
She got up from the chair.
Piper: You know it's a good thing I didn't fantasize about you turning human only about 10 zillion times, because today would have been a real let down. So how does the mature plan go? You call me? I call you? What?"
He got up and stepped over to her but he put a slight distance between him and Piper.
Angel: We stay in touch. Just not..
Piper: Literally. Funny.
They stared at each other and then Piper walked past him
Piper: Okay, I'd better..
He turned to look after her as he realized Piper’s message.
Angel: Right. Remove the temptation.
She span back towards him.
Piper: So, we'll talk soon.
She put her hand on top of his on the counter. They both stared down at their hands and locked their gaze back to one another. They stared deeply into each others eyes as they would reading each other’s souls. Suddenly Angel turned his hand to grab hers then reached out and pulled her into passionate kiss. Piper kissed him back much passionately as they stumbled up against the fridge and she jumped up to wrap her legs around his waist. Still kissing hungrily, Angel carried her over to the kitchen table, sweeping the stuff on it on the floor and laid her down on it as they let lust and desire to take over.

Chapter 8

Later at night in Angel was in fridge as Piper yelled at him.
Piper: Peanut butter, preferably crunchy!
His head popped up above the door of the fridge as his mouth was filled with food.
Angel: I got it.
His arms was piled with food and he closed the fridge. He made his way back to the bedroom with some strategically placed props all that's preserving his dignity. He dumped the stuff on the bed and slipped under the sheet. Piper was sitting opposite him, wearing a black robe as she was staring Angel with enticing smile.
Piper: The perfect yum.
Angel smiled at Piper and fed her a spoon of ice cream. Piper felt much relaxing because she hadn’t eat food with any other man she had been dated.
Piper: Mmm, this is a dream. You're human for like a minute and already there is Cookie-dough-fudge-mint-chip in the fridge.
Angel: God, I love food.
Piper: Food is good.
She fed him some ice cream on a chocolate waffle and they shared sweet kiss and it tasted like ice cream.
Angel: Why didn't you ever tell me about chocolate and peanut butter?
Piper: Well, I figured of the moment when you told me the truth about yourself, if your vamp taste buds couldn't really savor it, then it would only hurt you, you know?
They leaned against the end of the bed as Angel was eating ice cream with a spoon.
Piper: By the way, I'm over the whole needing to be mature thing. That time you just spent in the kitchen? That was enough time apart.
He beamed charmingly at Piper
Angel: Too much.
They shared another kiss and some ice cream dripped from his spoon on his naked chest.
Angel: Okay, mortal coordination leaving something to be desired.
Piper: Wrong. It's just right.
Angel laughed softly as she licked up the ice cream from his chest and then he pulled her down into fervent a kiss as they let desire take over once again.

~~~~

Meanwhile Doyle and Cordy were drinking at a bar.
Cordy: Well, this is working out nicely! I'm out of a job.
Doyle: Hey! It's not just you, you know?
Cordy: Oh, please. Who are *you* kidding? You're glad it happened.
Doyle: Hey, I'm glad for Angel, but if that means I'm off the hook with the Powers-That-Be as well, all the better. I'm finally free to go out in the world and make me own mark in the world.
Cordy: We had a cat that used to do that. Besides, it would be great if Angel and Piper decides to stay together.
Doyle: That would be best for them. I saw the way they looked at each other charmingly. They are made for each other.
Cordy: Ok, what about the prophecy? Is it possible Piper can be Angel’s soulmate and the mother of prophecy child?
Doyle realized they had almost forgotten the prophecy.
Doyle: The scroll was sending to Sunnydale. I hope we’ll find out what is really going on.
Cordy: It’s also pretty weird that Piper came into our lives at the same time when we found out about the prophecy. And now Angel is happy with Piper and...
She put her head down on the bar realizing she hadn’t made any plans for just in case if Angel was released of the fealty of fighting for the greater good.
Cordy: Oh god, what am I going to do? I'm good for exactly two things: International Superstardom, or helping a vampire with a soul to rid the world of evil. That makes for a short but colorful resume.
Doyle: Well, what ever happens form here on out, at least I will be able to say good-bye to them bone-crushing, head-wrenching, mind-numbing visions.
Suddenly his head hit the bar as hard painful vision cutting his scall again as he saw blurred pictures of the Mohra demon attacking Angel and it wasn’t very good thing. Opening his eyes, he looked at Cordelia with worry.
Cordy: What do you see?
Doyle: We got trouble.

~~~~

Meanwhile Angel and Piper were lying peacefully in bed. Her head was resting on Angel’s chest and she listened his heart beat.
Piper: It's a good sound.
He smiled softly at her.
Angel: It feels pretty amazing.
Piper: I'm so glad we didn't logic ourselves out of this. We'll make it work, right?
They shared loving look for a moment.
Angel: We will.
Piper: Oh, I'm so sleepy but I still want..
Angel: What? You couldn't possibly.. Not that I wouldn't..
Piper: No, no. I'm spent. Pleasantly numb even. You?
He smiled again, thinking about his honest answer.
Angel: For now.
Piper: No, I want to stay awake so this day can keep happening.
Angel kissed her on the forehead.
Angel: Sleep. We'll make another one like it tomorrow.
She cuddled up under his arm as she was so sleepy.
Piper: Angel? This is the first time I ever really felt this way.
Angel: What way?
Piper: Really happy. Like a normal girl, falling asleep in the arms of her normal boyfriend. It's perfect.
Angel kissed the top of her head again as she fell asleep in his arms.

~~~~

Moment later Angel was watching Piper lovingly as she was sleeping deeply and peacefully. She looked like an sleeping angel whom was sent from the heaven by The Powers That Be. He heard the door open and got up from the bed, being careful not to wake her up. Angel came out of the bedroom shrugging into a robe as Doyle came down the stairs.
Doyle: Hey, that...
Angel held up his hand for him to keep his voice down and Doyle noticed Piper sleeping on Angel’s bed and continued to tell softly more about the vision.
Doyle: Mohra demon regenerated more then just you.
Angel: What?
Doyle: I had a vision. It regenerated itself.
Angel started pacing around the living room.
Angel: Where?
Doyle: In the tunnel where you fought it. Then it was in some sort of factory. I thought I tasted salt. Could have been the margarita.
Angel: No, it needs a lot of salt to live.
Doyle: Well, it was very much alive in this vision, and angry if I might mention.
Angel knew there was only one option to do.
Angel: I'll have to kill it again.
Doyle was amazed for his friend’s answer but he was worried when it concerned for Angel’s healthy and mortality
Doyle: Yeah, but you're human now. They released you.
Angel was pulling on some pants.
Angel: You want to let that thing roam free? You saw it in a factory. There is a saline plant in Redondo. We'll start there.
Doyle: Yeah, but if it can regenerate itself, how can you kill it?
Angel: We'll figure it out. Just grab the book of Kelsor. You’ll read, I'll drive.
But Doyle stayed silent for a moment and Angel looked at him questiongly.
Angel: Doyle?
Doyle looked at Piper sleeping on Angel's bed.
Doyle: I think we should bring someone a little... supernatural?
Angel knew what Doyle was suggesting. He pulled a sweater over his head and looked where Doyle was looking as Piper was still in deep sleep. Angel didn’t want to put her in danger every time when new threat would come along his way. He couldn’t do that for Piper.
Doyle: Don't you want to wake the girl?
Angel couldn't teare his eyes off Piper as he stared at her with love and caring.
Angel: Not for the world.

Chapter 9

In Redondo Angel and Doyle were walking in the dark at saline plant. Doyle was reading in book how Mohra could be killed.
Doyle: Okay. This is not good. It doesn't just come back. It comes back bigger and stronger. I think we should go back and get Piper.
Angel: I know what I'm doing.
Doyle: This isn't your average demon we're fighting here. It nearly licked you before and now your mortal.
Angel: If this thing with me and Piper is going to work, I need to be able do this on my own. I can't keep risking her life every time some minion of hell.. Just tell me how to kill it.
Doyle reads from book: Uh, “It regenerates until the dark future it envisions is upon us.” Oh, “to kill the beast one must bring darkness to 1000 eyes.”
Angel: Funny, I only saw two.
Doyle: Keep up the glib. It makes me feel like we have a chance.
Angel saw two corpses and gagged from the smell. He was feeling very nausea and started coughing.
Doyle: Take it easy, mate.
Angel: The blood.
Doyle was supporting him.
Doyle: It's never an easy sight. It's part of being human now.
Angel: I'm going to kill that thing.
They didn’t take a notice when two glowing eyes were watching their every move.
Doyle: Just remember that it's brutal, deadly, and...
He looked up and noticed Mohra demon.
Doyle: Here!
The Mohra jumped down on them from above and they started fighting it. They're clearly overmatched and Doyle gots
knocked out pretty early. Angel kept getting back up, but the thing was pretty much wiping the floor with him and he finally turned to run.

~~~~

In the office Cordelia was putting sticky notes as Piper came in. She was looking for Angel when she hadn’t seen him for a while.
Piper: Hi, Cordy.
Cordy: How are you feeling?
Piper: Much better. Where is Angel?
Cordelia shrugged her shoulders
Cordy: I've decided not to feel sorry for myself. I'm taking matters into my own hands, organizing a little 'going out of business' sale to subsidize the severance package Angel never bothered setting up for me.
Piper: That sounds probably great. Did he leave a message about where he went?"
Cordy was slight nervous.
Cordy: I don’t know but he’ll come back. He’s taking care of the one job he has to do.
But Piper had known something was going on and didn’t believe in her friend’s words.
Piper: Is he in trouble?
Cordy didn’t answer Piper’s question. Piper was getting a little worried.
Piper: Cordy, if you know where he is, I’ll go to find him.
Cordy: You don’t need to be worried about Angel. Besides, he’ll do anything to protect you that he went to fight that thing by himself without..
She realized quickly to shut her mouth as she had let Piper to know too many about Angel’s plans. Piper’s eyes widened in slight horror.
Piper: What thing?

~~~~

Meanwhile Angel was just trying to stay alive as the Mohra demon kept coming after him. He climbed on the lid of a salt silo when the demon jumped up and hit him they both crash through to the bottom of salt silo. Angel was hurt slight badly and was coughing as Mohra put a foot on Angel's neck.
Mohra: The end of days has begun and can’t be stopped. For anyone of us that falls, *ten* shall rise.
As the Mohra lifted his sword to stab Angel, Piper jumped down on it from above, knocking it off Angel. She got the demon's sword. She was really pissed off that Mohra demon had almost killed Angel.
Piper: You hurt my boyfriend.
Mohra: A great darkness is coming.
Piper: You got that right.
They started fighting against each other with swords. Piper felt so much stronger when she had cast the spell that was giving her the Vampire Slayer’s strenght and speed. She was in awe that she could possess fighting skills and part of her was excited but the other part was afraid of dying on the battle. Mohra managed to wrap it’s morgenstern around Piper's sword and pulled it from her hand. Piper kicked the demon into the wall.

They fought some more as Piper managed to step on the chain of Mohra’s morgenstern and kicked the demon so it had to let go of it. Mohra picked her up and threw her into the wall.
Mohra: Together you were powerful. Alone, you are dead.
Demon picked her up by her throat and slammed her against the wall. Angel picked up a handful of salt, rising up on his feet to help his girlfriend.
Mohra: What do you think of the great warrior now?
Angel: Little bland. Needs salt.
He threw the salt in the demon's eyes and it dropped Piper on the ground. Angel was trying to help her up, but the Mohra grabbed him from behind and threw him across the silo. Piper and the demon kept fighting as Angel looked up at the demon until took up the notice the red jewel on Mohra’s forehead.
Angel: The light of a thousand eyes.. The jewel in its forehead! You have to smash the jewel!
Piper picked up the morgenstern, swirling it for twice with slayer’s strenght until she managed to smashed the jewel from Mohra’s forehead. Then demon vanished in a bright light as it was screaming in pain.

Piper dropped the morgenstern, running over to Angel and took his head in her lap carefully. Angel was in amazed how the woman he loved had fought against Mohra demon so well.
Angel: Piper, are you all..
Piper: Shh, you're all right. That's all that matters. Shh, you're all right.
She kissed the top of his head and caressed his head gently with her hand.
Piper: And it's over. And we're together.

~~~~

In next morning Angel was under post office searching for the answers from the Oracles. He had brought the gift which was a ancient Famille Rose vase from Ching dynasty.
Brother: Why are you here, lower being?
Angel: The Mohra demon said the end of days had begun. That others were coming, soldiers of darkness. I need to know if he was telling the truth.
Brother: As far as such things can be told.
Angel: What happens to the Witch when these soldiers come?
Sister: What happens to all mortal beings. Albeit sooner in her case.
Angel: She'll die?
He couldn‘t bare the thought Piper getting herself killed by vanquishing demons and soldiers of darkness. He wanted to save her life.
Angel: Then I'm here to beg for her life.
Brother: It is not our place to grant life or death.
The Oracles turned to walk away until Angel asked suprising request.
Angel: And I ask you to take mine back.
They stopped walking and turned back to him.
Angel: Look I can't protect her or anyone this way, not as a man.
Sister: You're asking to be what you were, a demon with a soul, because of the Witch?
Brother: Oh, this is a matter of love. It does not concern us.
Angel: Yes, it does. The Mohra demon came to take a warrior from your cause and it succeeded. I'm no good to you like this. I know you have it in your power to make this right. Please.
Brother: What is done can not be undone.
But she was disagree with him.
Sister: What is not yet done can be avoided.
Brother: Temporal folds are not to indulge at the whims of lower beings.
Sister: You are wrong. This one is willing to sacrifice every drop of human happiness and love he has ever known for another. He is not a lower being.

There was a silent for a moment until Brother changed his mind when took up notice Angel’s pleading look.
Brother: There is one way. But it is not to be undertaken lightly.
Sister: We swallow this day, as though it had never happened. Twenty-four hours from the moment the demon first attacked you, we take it back.
Angel’s heart was breaking as he thought about Piper.
Angel: Then none of this happened and Piper and I.. What... what'll stop us from doing the exact same thing again?
Sister: You. You alone will carry the memory of this day. Can you carry that burden?
Angel realized he had to make the hardest decision of his life that would be his last before the Oracles would turn back the time. Truthfully, Angel had made decision.

Your fic makes me want to watch the Crossover again...it was one of the most touching episodes ever aired, imo. :) Great update, Kira! Very emotional....:)
I could imagine them and hope that Piper can help Angel become human with her witch powers...I really hope they can be together in the end...:)

Chapter 10

In Angel’s apartment the clock on the wall was ticking. Piper was wearing a long flowery dress and was pacing, waiting for him with patience. She was starting to get worry until she heard foot steps and noticed Angel coming down the steps to his apartment.
Piper: You look like you have seen a ghost but for me it wasn’t the first time.
There was deep silent for a moment until Piper broke it.
Piper: What happened?
Angel: Nothing happened.
He walked down the rest of the steps but he couldn’t look at her when he wasn’t sure how Piper would react to his news.
Angel: I just...
Piper: Where have you been?
She was waiting answer from Angel as her eyes was filled with worry and suspension.
Angel: I went to see the Oracles. I asked them to turn me back.
She blinked her eyes in amazement that she couldn’t believe what Angel was telling her.
Piper: What? Why?
Angel: Because more then ever I know how much I love you.

She backed away from him and turned back on him to walk, shaking her head.
Piper: No. No, you didn't.
He followed her into the living room.
Angel: And if I stayed mortal one of us would wind up dead, maybe both of us. You heard what Mohra said.
She turned back at him.
Piper: Mohra is gone. We killed him.
Angel: He said others would come.
Piper: They always come. And they always will. But that's my problem now, not yours, remember?
Angel: No, I won't just stand by and let you fight, maybe die, alone.
Piper: Then we fight together.
He walked past of Piper and turned around to explain her serious situation what was coming.
Angel: Piper, you saw what happened last night. If anything I'm a liability to you. You take chances to protect me, and that's not just bad for you, it's bad for the people we were meant to help.
Piper: So what? You just took a whole 24 hours to weigh the ups and downs of being a regular Joe and decided it was more fun being a superhero?
Angel: You know that's not it. How can we be together if the cost is your life, or the lives of others?

She just stared at him as her eyes started to fill with tears of sadness. After a moment he moved closer, pulling her into his arms to comfort her. She covered her face on Angel’s shirt as she cried. He caressed her brown hair softly with his hand.
Angel: I know I couldn't tell you. I wasn't sure if I could do it if I woke up with you one more morning.
She sniffled as sadness and agony had took over her emotions in control.
Piper: I understand.
She moved her head to look up Angel as the tear was falling down on her cheek. Angel touched her face with right hand and wiped the tear from her cheek with his thumb. Her voice was slight shaking.
Piper: So, what happens now?
Angel: The Oracles are giving us back the day, turning back time, so I can kill Mohra before his blood makes me mortal.
Piper: When?
He looked over at the clock and it was 9.00 AM and back at Piper
Angel: Another minute.
At then Piper started crying more openly.
Piper: A minute? No. No, it's not enough time!
Angel: We don't have a choice. It's done.
Piper: How am I supposed to go on with my life knowing what we had? What we could have had and maybe in near future?
Angel: You won't. No one will know but me.
Piper: Everything we did?
He slightly shook his head but inside of his heart he wanted desperately Piper remembering amazing sweet loving day they had shared yesterday,
Angel: It never happened.
She shook her head in negative way. Piper had always fought for the good things she had supported but when it came to her future and the love of her life, she couldn’t fight for her and Angel’s love for each other.
Piper: It did. It did. I know it did!
She put her hand on his chest, feeling his heart beating steadily. She wanted to remember this moment for eternity when she had spent wonderful day with the love of her life. Angel couldn’t bare to watch her heart breaking into the peaces. He hated himself of hurting Piper.
Piper: I felt your heart beat.
Angel: Piper..
She looked up Angel and they shared memorable passionate kiss that they would never forget. They broke apart from the kiss and Piper gazed over at the clock. The minute was almost up. She turned to gaze back at Angel as she was crying freely.
Piper: No! Oh God. It's not enough time.
His eyes was also starting to filled with tears ad he cried silently. He hugged Piper tightly, never wanting to let go of her. He made hardest decision that would have cost his future and his life. He would never get a chance to have bright future with Piper and it was too much for him.
Angel: Shh, please. Please.
The held each other tightly as both were crying.
Piper: No. I'll never forget. I'll never forget. I'll never forget. I'll never forget.
He closed his eyes, still holding Piper in his arms tightly until the world changed into white....

~~~~

Previous day in the office Angel was leaning against his desk blinking, looking around. Piper was standing next to the door.
Piper: ... I need some time to think straight. So maybe it’s better if we avoid each other for a while until we know the right moment that we can finally be...
Angel stared at her and swallowed hard, feeling the déjá vu-moment realizing the Oracles had turned back time.
Angel: Together.
Piper: Yeah.
There was short pause between them until she walked slowly to the door.
Piper: So, I'm gonna go start thinking.
As Piper grabbed the door knob Mohra demon crashed through the window behind Angel. Angel just turned, grabbing the clock from his desk, avoiding the first stroke of demon’s kick and coolly smashed the Mohra's jewel with it. The Mohra vanished in a flash of light. Angel turned to look at Piper who was slightly stunned.
Piper: That was unreal. How did you know how to kill it?
Angel: It's a Mohra demon. I did research last night so you’re safe now.
She nodded slowly.
Piper: Well, thanks for helping me so I guess we've covered it, right?
Angel: I guess we did.
Angel and Piper felt powerful attraction growing much higher between them but they managed to resist only for a moment. As Piper was going to turn around she had wanted to give him something to remind him that she was waiting for him but she wasn't even sure.

Oh what the hell, she thought quickly as suddenly she made U-turn, moving closer to Angel and kissed him slight passionately. He kissed her back as his hands caressed her neck, feeling her soft skin with his fingers. They could feel love passing through the kiss and the emotion was amazingly wonderful but it had to be stopped even Angel and Piper didn’t want to do it. They pulled away from passionate kiss, breathing heavily as they stared each other’s eyes in paralized.
Piper: I’ll be seeing you later.
She walked backwards as Angel took a deep breath and looked down on the smashed clock. It stopped at 9:02. When he turned back Piper was already leaving the outer office. Angel wasn’t sure did he make right decision to change the future but it was the only way to keep Piper safe from danger. He was ready to carry burden on his shoulders when he had memories of blissfull day with Piper and he couldn’t never forget it. But he didn't forget the prophecy which had given him a chance to be father of prophecy child but he had lost the chance along with Piper.
Angel: See you.

The End.

There might be a sequal but I haven't translated it yet. I can tell the sequel is focusing totally the prophecy and Piper.:)
