Going to my favorite place....Church

With the boy tied to my bed, which wasn't the most pleasant thought, considering that the boy was possessed by an Ethros demon and could spill ectoplasmic stains all over my bed, and with Cordy going off to Rick's Magic and stuff to pick up an Ethros box, especially designed to capture an Ethros demon once it has been exorcised, Wesley and I drove

Reading while an intense vampire whipped around various corner after corner was rather terse and difficult to say the least, but I had the information that I needed as we parked. I had information about, at the least, some of the exorcisms that he had done in the past, and I was hoping to add another feat in his life's work to my own very journal

"Angel, this Father Cullen has dealt with vampires before. Let's just say that in addition to exorcising Ethros demons, that he will probably have an onslaught of holy water in there, and might not be so willing to believe that you are ensouled. His order was infested by vampires some years ago and claimed several of his nuns. Only one has survived."

This meant nothing to me. Fear wasn't an instinct that I possessed, and it certainly didn't apply to humans who looked at me as an evil being because of what I was. It might be understandable, but it was still close-minded, regardless of what I had done in my past. If going in there and telling this Father Cullen that we needed his help didn't prove that I was worthy of that help to him, then he wasn't much of a man, even if he was a man of the cloth and I was a 'spawn of hell or evil'.

"Considering your history with nuns and clergy, Angel, don't you think that it might be for thre best to let me handle this one?"I gripped the door and looked at him as if to ask him exactly what it was

"Wesley, we have a boy tied to my bed with a gray face. He could get away. Do you think I care if this father doesn't like me? I'm not here to argue with him. We are here to enlist him for something that he believes in, knows about and is passionate about. We have an Ethros demon, he exorcises them. It's as simple as that."

It truly was as simple as that, and it potentially could have been more serious then that. If this priest had some sort of trap for vampires that entered his church, considering what had happened to his nuns in the past, then this could be risky, but before I could refute Angel, he went in and then I did.

A nun looked at us, Angel looked at me and then we both focused on her. Her hostility was palpable.

"You would dare enter this place of worship."She was looking at Angel and looked afraid. "Miss, we come in peace. We seek Father Cullen. We need him for something that we are told he specializes in

"You would dare enter this place of worship."

She stared at me as if I were the anti-christ and glared back at her scorned, for a moment. It was another affirmation of what I already knew; that no matter how much I did to try to atone for my past, I would never outlive it or atone for it, and this woman didn't even know what I had done in the past.

"You somehow have sensed what Angel is. He indeed is a vampire, but he has a soul. You have nothing to fear from either of us. We seek Father Cullen because we need the exorcism of an Ethros demon."

I wanted to explain to Wesley that it didn't matter. That because I was here, they wouldn't be helping us, regardless of what kind of demon was doing what to what kid. I was filled with hate for this woman right now.

"I'm afraid that the Father will not be able to help you."

Of course he wouldn't. "You'll be willing to let a young boy die because I was made a vampire when it wasn't my choice?"

She turned and looked at us. "You may be a vampire, but the decision was pre-made. I could get
