"Things used to be pretty simple. Hundred years, just hanging out, feeling guilty. Really honed my brooding skills. Then she comes along."
Until 16-year-old Buffy Summers, the Vampire Slayer, arrived in town to battle vampires, demons and the Forces of Darkness. First, he has to convince her not to kill him. Then, he has to convince himself not to fall in love with her.
Now, collected for the first time, are three stories from the cult-hit TV series chronicling the beginning of this star-crossed love story.
Can Buffy and Angel survive life, death...and beyond?
"I invited you into my home." Buffy went on, needing to express her hurt, feeling again her shock and despair. "And then you attacked my family."
"Why not?" he asked almost offhandedly, but his expression was filled with pain. "I killed mine."
He started closing in on her.
"I killed their friends. And their friends' children. For a hundred years I offered an ugly death to everyone I met. And I did it with a song in my heart."
She detected the merest hint of self-loathing; she raised her chin slightly and asked, "What changed?"
"Fed on a girl," he told her. "About your age. Beautiful." He looked off into the distance for a moment. "Dumb as a post. But a favorite among her clan."
"Her clan?" Buffy repeated, unsure of his word choice.
"Romani," he explained. "Gypsies. The elders conjured the perfect punishment for me." He waited a beat. "They restored my soul."
