story Obsession
by Queen of Sarab

Do you want the honest truth?
I was scared out of my bloody freaking mind.
I mean, I love the girl. Telling the girl that you love…well, that you love her….is so hard, so incredibly hard….even when you have no soul to be damaged. Or so they say.
It should have been easy. I mean, I'm a bloody vamp- you 'd think I could tell one stupid slayer I love her. She'd loved vamps before- granted, it was that sniveling bloodsucker with a soul, Angel, but that's not the freaking point!
It was never so hard with Dru. She just accepted me, accepted what I did. But no. Little miss Slayer has to go and tell me she doesn't love me, never has, never will.
I love it when she plays hard to get.
I have to say, that girls got some friends, though. The Slayerettes are tough little cookies. That night, without telling anyone where he was going, Xander bloody confronted me. Knowing full well I was totally capable of easily kicking his ass.
He pushed me. Told me to leave Buffy alone, to let her be.
Said she didn't love me.
Why does everyone bloody keep saying that?!
Maybe she thinks she doesn't love me, but I know she does! Somewhere, I know that she has feelings for me. Otherwise, why hasn't she killed me yet? Why the bloody hell not?!
God, I almost want her to. Just because….it would be a resolution. An ending of some kind. I've been so alone for so long…. Dru's gone, the Slayer's nearly gone, hell, I even drove off that little twit Harmony. But Buffy's not gone yet. Not completely. And I know she can love me.
I'll make her love me.
