Spell Bound.

17. You Know What I Have To Do.

Olivia woke up sweating and panting. She remembered everything. She snuck out of bed, making sure not to wake Angel and stuck some clothes and shoes on before heading out the door. She took a brisk walk to Tia's and knocked on the door. "Hey babe what's up?"

"Tia I need to borrow the car." Olivia said bluntly. "Why? What's wrong? Did you and Angel argue again? Sweetie I told you, you can stay here whenever that happens. Come in and I'll pop the kettle on."

"No!" Olivia cried. "I'm sorry, I just...I need to see someone. It's important. Me and Angel are fine. Tia please...I'll explain later." Tia sighed before rushing off to get the car keys. She threw them to Olivia. "It's in the garage. I expect an explanation later." Tia shouted after her.

Olivia started up the engine and drove off. She was going quite fast but it didn't matter as much since it was late at night and everyone knows better than to be out past nine. Once Olivia reached her destination, she got out the car and knocked on the door.

"Dean I am really sorry...I-" Sam was interrupted by a knock at the door. "Sammy go get that will ya." "This isn't over!" Sam stood up and answered the door. He saw a shaky Olivia and instantly let her in.

"Livvi what's wrong?" "You don't get to call me Livvi! How could you?!" "Li- Olivia I don't understand...what happened?" "You know what happened Sam! How could I- we have done that?! I love Angel. He's my life." "Oh you mean us having sex?"

"You say it so casually like it means nothing!" "It means everything to me! I love you Olivia." "Why would you let it happen Sam? You know I'm with Angel. I love him...I love you-" "Wait what? The spell has worn off...this is how you really feel..." "No?" Olivia said questionably. "No!" She said with certainty. "The spell, it's the spell!"

Olivia started pacing the hall. Dean was eavesdropping. He heard every word. He told Sam to stay away but Sammy being Sammy, he never listens.

"Olivia it's not the spell. Now that I know you love me I must do what I came here to do." "Which is what?" Dean emerged into the hall. "Sammy you can't. Don't tell her. Lets just do it and go."

"What about Tia, Dean? Don't you want to tell her you love her? Don't you want to see her one last time. Save her from danger." "She's a slayer! She's in no danger! Plus it's her boyfriend. I doubt he'd harm her; he has a soul."

"What if he loses his soul? Then what Dean?!" A look of realisation came across Dean's face. "He had no soul!" Olivia interuppted. "Spike had no soul when he first loved Tia. A year ago he went through trials to get a soul for her. But he loved her for two years without having a soul. If he lost it again, it wouldn't matter because the demon inside loves her."

"What about Angel?" "If he loses his soul, that's it, he becomes Angelus. He becomes evil." "Where is he?" "He probably woke up and went to Spike's, why?...oh Sam no please no." "Olivia you know what I have to do. I have to kill Angel."
