Ever since Connor was old enough to talk and know what sorts of things to ask about, he's asked questions about pretty much anything a boy his age could think of to ask and then some. When he was a baby and even before he knew to ask, I always told him stories of things back in Los Angeles. The way things were there, the people we left behind, ( Read more... )

The last thing I ever expected was to be able to find a way out of Quor'toth because of some of the actual creatures who lived here. I knew that Connor had been trying to get information out of the slugs, but I didn't know how much he actually had until he came and said the slugs had told him the way to get out of this world. At first, I wasn't ( Read more... )

Connor took his first steps early. Or at least that's how I've always remembered it. Even being here and having no real definite concept of how many days, months, or years have gone by since jumping through that portal, I've always thought that Connor picked up on certain things a lot earlier than most. Maybe it's because he has special ( Read more... )

Quor'toth doesn't exactly have the same sort of playgrounds ... well, it doesn't really have any at all. At least not the kind you'd normally think of when you hear the word. Swings, monkey bars, a few slides, jungle gym, some sort of house thing to mess around in, and maybe a few other things. The only kind of swing I'd say Quor'toth has is a ( Read more... )

No matter how long I've lived or will live, there are certain people who only know certain aspects about who I am. Some have known me better than others and some haven't really known me at all. Darla knew certain things about me that others couldn't dream of understanding. Buffy was the same way. Then Doyle and Cordy, Wes, Fred, Lorne, and Gunn ( Read more... )

I'd never take the decison back, but if there was one thing I could change about that night it would be to somehow get in touch with everyone back at the Hyperion to tell them what happened. Maybe Lilah and her team of guns had the decency to give them a head's up after a while that I disappeared into the portal with Connor. Maybe she didn't. ( Read more... )

It's impossible to know exactly how much time has gone by since jumping through the portal to Quor'toth. The main way is watching how old Connor gets even though it's still hard to know. In the first cave Connor and I lived in, I kept a marking of each day that went by on the wall. Days that I could make out from the suns here anyway. With ( Read more... )

If I'd been asked the question of where did I see myself in the future ten or so years ago, I wouldn't have said anything to where I am right now living day to day in a hell dimension constantly fighting to survive. The funny part is it's not the hell dimension that I would have been impossible, it's the fact that I jumped into a portal to save my ( Read more... )

Unforgivable is doing something against those who are supposed to be closest to you and making an ultimate betrayal. I know as well as anyone else that things sometimes happen beyond our control. My life and even unlife is a whole spiral of losing the control I can't stand to lose. There are some things I can understand a lot better than others ( Read more... )

Even looking back on it, Angel has trouble remembering exactly what happened that night. It started with Holtz standing behind him holding his son and Lilah with her armed men aiming at them standing in front. Sahjahn appreared and things started to get out of control. Threats of shooting and there's a hand over Connor's throat. The portal ( Read more... )
