Board stats: Open Time of day: Late, near midnight.
The darkness was like blanket, wrapping those who walked it in. The leaves made funny noises as they crunched under his black bloots. His trench coat blew slightly around him. Good thing he wasn't one to feel the cold... Because it would have been chilly this forthnight.
Angel's dark eyes scanned the graveyard, old memories came to him in a flash-Meeting Buffy for a patrol. He had staked quiet a few while he was here in Sunnydale, and in this same yard too.
If he had a beating heart it would have probably broken. The word lingered in his mind, echoing in the vastness... Buffy. Two hundred years living and she was the first woman he ever really loved. What would have happened if he had stayed? To protect her? Would she end up-He froze, seeing the marker for her grave. He had yet to wonder over there. He couldn't say good-bye. Not yet. He took in a deep breath-though air was useless to him and turned back the other way. He wasn't ready to say good-bye just yet.

Dawn had wondered out of the house while everyone was asleep, she often snuck out and just went to talk to buffy by her grave! She walked through the gates! She was looking down and saw a pair of black shoes! She thought it was a vampire so she jumped and looked up wards! It was a vampire just not the type she was expecting! "Angel?" She asked

The sound of his name made the vampire stop, he recognized it and slowly turned around. The younger sister of the Summers. It was odd... He had never met her, and yet, he had memories of meeting her. Of seeing her with her sister. Dawn was one who had found out about Angel and often teased the older Summers as little sister do. He had never /met/ her though. It was a very strange thing indeed.
"Hi," he said softly, clearing his throat and stuffing his hands in his trench coat pockets. "Kind of late for you to be out, isn't it?" he asked, glancing around the yard. It was also dangerous. What kind of person-vampire with a soul-would he be if he allowed the love of his life's sister to die? Not a very good one.

"I'm not stupid Angel! I can handel myself!" She said pulling out a stake! "I come out her sometimes.. to feel close to her!" She looked at her feet! "What... What are you doing here Angel?!" She had always liked Angel, but she didn't know what to say to him! He and Buffy had always had a kind of 'interesting' relationship and Dawn had to stick by her sister! He had been quite good for Buffy through the good times though! Kept her safe and loved her! She loved him for that! Without Angel Buffy would have been dead a long time ago! But as far as she was concerned if it hadn't been for her her big sister would still be alive!

He gave a small grin as she pulled out the stake. "Of course not," he replied softly, the grin fadding as she mentioned going there to be close to her. Her... love of his life. He glanced at the marker and turned back towards Dawn. What /was/ he doing there? He should probably go back to L.A. But truth be told, he didn't really want to. Not yet.
"How're you been?" he asked, unstuffing his hands from his pockets and folding them in the "triangle" shape before him, ignoring-or simply not knowing the answer to her question.

Dawn burst out in tears. "Surprisingly, not good! But no-one understands! They don't get that i feel this way! It's like i can't cry or be upset! I'm not worthy of it because I'm not real... I'm not her sister!" She cried for a little bit and then started to calm herself down. She wiped her eyes and looked up at Angel. "You were always good at avoiding my questions!"

Angel tilted his head, seeing her cry. He hated to see the Summers women cry, it was a weakness, he supposed. He drew in a deep breath, though he didn't need it, more of a habit than anything, and slowly nodded. "C'mon, let's get something to eat," he said, wrapping his arm around her to distract her away from Buffy's grave. Perhaps seeing old friends would get the girl's mind out of the darkness. He chuckled at her last comment, a smile tugging on his lips. "Buffy always told me that too," he told her truthfully.

"She did? It's strange the things you miss! I miss the way she would yell at me the same way if i got kidnapped by vampire as she would if i spilt OJ on her jeans! I miss the way whenever she made me pancakes she always made the syrup look like a smiley face even though i grew out of that when i was five! More than anything... I miss her laugh! The way you could feel so bad but it would make you feel safe and happy!" She looked at Angel! "Oh... Sorry! I didn't mean to bore you with all my problems!" She could tell it was painfull for him! It was always hard for Buffy talking about Angel so why shouldn't it be true the other way round? She was so stupid! Everything she felt he felt aswell so she didn't have to drum it into him!

During Dawn's "rant", Angel had unknowingly bit his lower lip and gently chewed on it. Half of what the younger one was saying was lost on him, though he could still hear what she was saying, and he could understand it. He knew what she meant. Her smile, the way she held him. His heart was breaking and it wasn't even beating.
"It's alright," he told her truthfully glancing at her and giving a small grin. "It's good to get things out in the air..." It was good... So why couldn't he do it? Why couldn't he get things out? Two hundred years plus of holding things in... He wasn't about to become Mr. Sensetivity. He had done that once... He wasn't sure he liked it. "You learning? I mean... class.... Are you... in the school? They rebuilt... The place... Where you learn?" He wasn't good with the small talk. He was getting better with the whole "Get involved in people's lives to save them" thing he had going on in L.A.

"Yes I'm in school! Mom and Buffy would want me to do well so i'm addament i'm going to do it! For them if no-one else!" She smiled at him. "Marks for effort! Small talk, not your thing Angel!" She sat on a benchthat was quite near by! She looked up at Angel. "Why so long Angel? Why have you waited months before coming to see her?"

"School's.... good." he said, giving a slight nod and sitting down next to her with a small sigh, "You... learn... things there," he winced slightly at her 'small talk' comment. "No," he said shaking his head. "I'm working on it though," he told her truthfully and with a sheepish smile. He glanced away at her last question, shifting in his seat slightly, his dark boots tapping the ground underneath. "I was... detained." he said truthfully. It was the truth. Being in another deminsion seemed to have that affect on him, no?

"Detained?" Dawn glared at him a little bit! "A 2 months since she died Angel! Where the hell were you detained? Willow even went to see you and you still didn't come!" Dawn said tears forming in her eyes agin!

Angel winced slightly and placed his elbows on his knees, leaning slightly forward, as if he was afraid to make eye contact with her. "Had I really been there for two months?" he asked, his tone soft and almost afraid. He drew in a sharp breath and glanced back at her. "One day I'll tell you," he promised her, giving out a small puff of air. "You'll just have to trust me that I was... detained."

She gave him a dirty look and started to shout! "And what about the last 2 years Angel? You been detained then aswell? Or did you just not fancy a visit?" Dawn stood up! And walked over to the gravestone not worring whether Angel was following any more! It wasn't like he cared about her! no-one did! She traced the name with her finger! "Hey Buffy!" She said! "Guess who's come to see you?" she was using an upbeat kind of voice unlike the one she had used with Angel only moments before!

Angel winced as she yelled at him, though took it all. Did she not know? Perhaps she did... He wasn't about to explain to her why he had to leave... Why he did it. Why he was back in the town. He stood up as she went to Buffy's grave. He wouldn't say anything yet. He didn't know how to truly say good-bye... How to... let go. In the end he hadn't really. Let go...
