Title: You Should Know 32/100

TtH Prompt: #18 Soul

Summary: Buffy learns a hard truth.


You Should Know

“Before you go, Buffy, there’s something you need to know,” Willow said, halting their progress to leave.

“What?”

“It’s about Angel… The law firm kind of… Do you remember when we thought Angel was maybe going evil because he took over Wolfram and Hart?”

“Yeah,” Buffy said slowly. Her instincts were telling her that she wasn’t going to like where this was heading.

“Turns out he was just trying to take them down from within.”

“That doesn’t sound so bad,” Daniel said, not fully sure of what they were talking about.

“It doesn’t until you learn that they removed his soul,” Willow said, bracing herself for Buffy’s outburst.

“His soul?” Daniel asked. He glanced over at Cameron who was still sulking on the other side of the room. He could tell that the colonel was trying to be aloof, but was still listening in.

“Well, just get your little orb thingy and put it back,” Buffy said with a shrug, not seeming too concerned by the revelation.

“I can’t.”

“What do you mean, you can’t? Did you forget the spell?”

“More of that magic stuff?” Vala asked, looking around as if she was expecting another portal and her hand involuntarily went to her mouth.

“Yes,” Willow answered her before explaining the whole problem. “I remember the spell and I have an orb, but I’ve already tried and it didn’t work. Wesley called and said they didn’t just remove it, they destroyed it.”

“Destroyed it as in…?” Buffy faintly asked.

“As in there is no soul to put back. He’s Angelus. Permanently.”
