Chapter 1

-

Cordelia Chase didn't mind being left behind when everyone went out to slay demons. She tended to avoid situations that left her sticky, or bait. It gave her time to get caught up with her friends, People and Us Weekly. Even Fred and Wesley were gone, but she thought they might have been on a date, not slaying demons. That would be fun, going on a date. If only she could meet someone that wasn't dead.

That's when a tall blond young man with guns and pecs that would make her ashamed if she wasn't who she was. She glance up at him when he came into the hotel, but didn't realize that he was real until he stood in front of her. "Can I help you?" Cordelia asked crossing her fingers that he would say yes.

"I'm looking for a Spike." Tall-blond and buff said.

"Does he owe you money?" Cordelia asked curiously.

"No. I'm an old friend of his."

Cordelia nodded slowly not believing it for a second. Surely this guy was here to gut Spike until he got what he wanted. Cordelia smiled. "You can wait in the lobby. Do you want something to drink?"

"Uh, um...no, thank you." Tall-blond and buff followed Cordelia's gesture to the front of the hotel. He sat down on the couch and looked uncomfortable as he waited. Cordelia stopped reading her magazine and stared at the hottie in front of her. She was so focused on him that she didn't notice when a second handsome, musician type walked in. She didn't notice him at all until he got in her way and she tried to peer around him.

"Oh!" Cordelia cried spilling out of her chair. She sat up quickly and looking around to see if anyone notice. She blushed at the young man leaning over the counter to look at her. "Can I help you?"

"I'm looking for Spike." The young man stared at her curiously as she returned to her chair and brushed down her hair.

"Uh huh," Cordelia raised an eyebrow. "What did he do this time?"

"Is he coming back soon?" the handsome musician asked.

"In the next hour, do you want to wait?" Cordelia asked. If the other guy didn't want to kill Spike this one did for sure. She just hoped that they wouldn't start fighting over who got to kill Spike. The worm would probably be able to get away before they finished.

"That would be great." The handsome musician curled his lip slightly.

He reminded her a little of Angel. "Would you like something to drink?"

"N-sure." Cordelia was a little surprised when he followed her into the kitchen. She handed him a glass and began pointing out the different drinks they had. "Help yourself."

"Spike!" It was from a soft high pitched voice.

Cordelia wrinkled her nose. "What the hell?" She left the handsome musician to get his own drink and was surprised to see a Pixie rocker that didn't realize the 80's were over and a young, tortured looking man. So Spike slept with this guy's girl and now they're here for revenge. She nodded to herself. "How can I help you?"

"Are you Cordelia?" The out-of-style girl asked stepping forward.

"Yes…Did Spike talk about me? That little rat. Look if he owes you money, forget it. I'm not giving you any." Cordelia moved back to her station. She picked up the phone and started to dial Angel's cell. This was getting too ridiculous.

"Alice, Jasper?" The handsome musician wandered out of the kitchen. He didn't look particularly surprised, just a little confused. He sipped on what Cordelia knew to be Angel's blood cup. She cringed but didn't mention it. She continued dialing but wasn't surprised when Angel didn't answer.

Jasper licked his lips his stomach growling. "Is there more?"

"In the kitchen." The handsome musician pointed behind him. He stepped aside to let him go through. He looked at Alice. "What are you doing here?"

"We're good friends with Spike remember. We thought we would come down here spend sometime with him, for old times sakes. We've lived with you for over fifty years and probably another, however a little break seems nice."

"Whoa!" Cordelia reached for the stake under her desk. She didn't reveal that she had it. "You're vampires? How did you get in? I didn't invite you!"

"Spike is family." The handsome musician answered. "Besides this is a hotel, not a home. We don't actually need permission."

"And you don't need to worry. We don't drink human blood." Alice smiled at her.

"All the same. Do you mind waiting in the lobby, over there? Away from me." Cordelia asked. She glanced over to the lobby and frowned. "Hey where did Tall and blond go?"

"Emmett." The handsome musician called. The accused peaked out from behind the couch. "I thought I sensed you. What are you doing here?"

"The real question is," Jasper said returning with three mugs and handing one to Alice before rushing into the lobby and handing the other cup to Emmett. "Is did any of us let Carlisle know we were abandoning him."

"Rosalie and Esme are still there. Besides it is a good idea that he and Rosalie spend time alone." Emmett stood and moved back to his seat. He sipped on his mug. Cordelia sighed it was just her luck all these cute guys, all dead.

"He not going to like this," the handsome musician shook his head. He looked guilty and pained. He obviously didn't like the position he was in.

"So leave, Edward. We're not." Alice almost sang. Maybe they were going to fight about who got to kill Spike.

"I know Carlisle isn't your sire so you have no ties to him but you have been in this family long enough not to hurt him. I cannot leave. This is too important to me." Edward spoke softly. "He'll understand why I left."

"Dog stink getting to you?" The tone was light and joking but Edward flew across the room pinning the pixy to the wall. The other two vampires were on him quickly pulling him away. Alice smiled softly. "So defensive. That says more then your words do."

Edward roared trying to pull away from Emmett, but even if he could Jasper stood between him. He struggled for a while but then relax. "You can let go, Em." But Emmett remained where he was. "I said let go!"

Jasper took a deep calming breath and the others quickly shared this with him. "She's just prodding you Edward. We have never doubted your feelings for Jacob."

"Well, don't!" Edward snarled. "If your serious or not doesn't matter to me. Not now, not with Sam undercutting me and trying to keep him from me." There were collective nods of understanding.

"This is the most disgusting ick I've ever been covered in. Why exactly did you need to rip his head off in my direction?" Spike's thick accent rang through the lobby a moment before he ran head first into Angel. "Oiy what the hell are you stopping in the middle of the door for. Some of us would like to get cleaned!" He let out a yelp and scrambled around his sire. "Watch where you put that stick, Gunn." The man only smiled and Spike scowled. He was covered in orange muck that smelt like a mixture of vomit and cough syrup. It stopped his guest in their tracks.

"What happened to you?" Jasper asked looking repulsed.

"Jasper?" Spike would have rubbed his eyes but feared that would result in temporary blindness. "Alice? Edward? Emmett?" His tone and confusion picked up as he rattled of his guest. He suspected that Jasper and Alice would visit him before the others but it had barely been a month since he had last seen them.

"Cordy are you alright?" Angel spoke up. He lacked the muck that covered Spike's body. He looked around the guest to his employee.

"Oh yeah I'm just prefect. Are the only people you know…dead?" Cordelia asked Spike.

He smiled at her. Then he turned to his visitors. "If you'll give me a minute to get cleaned up I'll be right down to be at your service."

"Spike." Angel stopped him. "I want an explanation now or none of your friends will leave here with their heads attached."

The four younger vampires took large steps away from Angel. They didn't doubt him at all. "You must be Angelus." Edward spoke up for the rest of them.

"Actually, please call me Angel. Now, explain what your doing here, uninvited?" Angel asked.

"Actually, Spike did invite us," Alice said.

Spike flinched and took a few steps away from Angel as well. "I did extend an invitation to all of them. I just didn't expect them to take it without warning or anything." He smiled at his friends not really upset at it. "Jasper, Alice and I go way back. Jasper and I met in the war, and Alice was barely bred when Dru and I came across her. We spent time on and off with each other. Pretty simple right? The last time, was the only time it was the four of us. We went on for a few years but had to go our separate ways. That's when they found Carlisle's family and joined their clan, of sorts. So when Wes and I were in Forks we were reacquainted. It's been a while you know and you stop thinking about people after a while, but I do miss their company. So I assume there here to renew ties and bond. You know the normal vampire stuff. I believe Edward is here because he wants a soul?"

"You do?" Alice looked over at her brother.

Edward nodded his head. "I know that you and Angel have one. I need to know what to do to get one."

"Is Jacob making you do this?" Emmett asked confused. Jacob had never been demanding like Bella. He was actually the opposite always holding out until he couldn't take it anymore.

"No, Jake would never ask me, but I know neither of us will be satisfied now that we know it possible for me to have one." Edward admitted.

"Well you don't want his. However, I can help you out with mine. It's was actually more difficult to get, but I think you could earn it fairly easily." Spike spoke up picking at the muck on his arm.

"Three vampires with souls?" Gunn asked looking between the people. "It's confusing enough with two of you."

"Don't worry about that Gunn. He's going got his own team up in Forks." Spike turned to Emmett. "Is this about what Carlisle told you?"

"Yes." Emmett looked away stealing his nerves before turning back to Spike. "I need you to show me. I want you to fuck me."

Cordelia sighed even louder. He was dead and gay just her luck.

"You're going to join us in bed?" Jasper asked.

"No. Not yet. I'm not sure." Emmett shifted uncomfortably he looked at none of them. "I just don't want to ruin anything with you guys."

"That's understandable." Spike agreed. "He can make his decision with me without any ill feelings if things don't turn out. That sounds good to me."

"Can I get this straight? Three of you are here to sleep with Spike and one of you is here for his soul?" Angel looked around the room. He wasn't pleased with this at all. Even though he refused to take Spike, he didn't like the idea that other people were going to bed him, when he couldn't and without his permission.

"Actually I was going to suggest that you sleep with Emmett. He wants an example of his relationship with Carlisle. You'd be able to give him that better." Spike turned to look at Angel. He didn't let his pleasure at Angel's jealousy show. He thought it was important that Angel handle Emmett. He was his grandsire and Spike had staked the few vampires he created. Angel would be much better at it, even Carlisle would agree with that. Even though he would rather be with Angel, he would rather that Angel have someone then no one. Screwing Emmett wouldn't give Angel perfect happiness; he might even feel guilty about doing it because he was on rocky terms with Carlisle and sex would be good for Angel though. It always helped Angelus.

Angel blinked. He looked over at Emmett. He could sense Carlisle all over him. It was intriguing to have Emmett in his bed. He was family. Family meant everything to vampires, even when they lost touch and grew distant. Even when they were fucking pissed at each other, they could lie together in a bed and screw like bunny for weeks. It was just part of their nature. One that Angel ignored for nearly the last hundred years, but how could he not. Darla was a heartless bitch. She wouldn't touch him when he was like this. There was too much guilt when it came to Drusilla. Then there was Spike, when he didn't have a soul it was too painful for Angel to get close to him and when he did, he couldn't allow himself that happiness that would come with their union. Emmett was okay though; these vampires had denied his blood and gained control of their demons. He knew they didn't feed on humans and if he had known this all along. He might have found Carlisle on his own and stayed with his family for the last hundred years. Besides, he knew he would be able to give Emmett all the information he needed before he made a decision.

"Okay, they can stay." The group smiled. "But they have to work."

"Work?" Edward asked.

"I can be a physic." Alice offered. "And Jasper makes an excellent therapist."

"No, pet. Work. What we do. Help the helpless?" Spike explained. He tilted his head. "We rid the LA streets of things that go bump in the night."

"You want us to kill other demons?" Edward asked.

"Only the ones killing humans. We don't mind the ones that live peacefully among them," Spike answered. "Can I get the muck off now? It's starting to dry."

Angel nodded watching Spike hurry up the stairs. Then he continued, "Sort of what you did when Spike and Wes were up in Forks."

The younger vampires were silent for a little while. They didn't know what to say. They had never tried to make waves by attacking their own kind, and because they lived in small towns they normally didn't have the opportunity. They didn't know what Carlisle would want them to do.

"We'll help," Jasper spoke up for his family. "It'll be nice to fight something stronger than a bear."

"Yeah I wouldn't mind testing out my full capabilities." Emmett agreed. It was natural for them to agree with Angel. He was the oldest among them. He was the head of the clan. It would be unnatural for them not to submit. Even Spike wasn't very good at disobeying direct orders. That's why he tended to do things before he was ordered not to.

"I'll show you to your rooms. Gunn I'll see you in the evening. Cordelia you can go for the night as well." Angel turned to his friends. The other vampires looked on in curiosity. Aside from Bella they weren't interest in humans especially now that they didn't feed from them.

"If you're having loud gay sex upstairs, I wasn't going to stay." Cordelia grabbed her bag. "And I'm letting Fred know that she should stay at Wesley's tonight."

"Aw! Cordy why did you have to put that image in my head. I wasn't even thinking about that. Now I'm not going to be able to sleep." Gunn complained following her to the door.

"Oh grow up, Gunn. There is so much more that is more disgusting then that and you probably killed one tonight." Cordelia's voice trailed off.

"You're pets are cute." Alice turned to look at Angel.

"They're not pets. They're family." Angel ascended the stairs expecting the others for follow him.

"You mean if you didn't have a soul you'd turn them?" Edward asked. He was fishing for information about the soul as soon as he could. He wouldn't be able to sleep and he wasn't going to be occupied like his siblings were.

"Maybe. I don't know. I've changed people since I've had my soul. The only problem is, they never have one and I always end up staking them." Angel explained.

"When Carlisle told us about you, he said that he was relieved that his control was passed on to us when we were created." Edward admitted. "I think he would have staked us too."

"Probably not. Carlisle could always teach you control. I can't teach someone to have a soul."

"That's not what Spike said." Edward growled.

"He's earned his soul. I didn't. He can only explain to you the trials he face when he received it. He cannot give you one himself." Angel's voice didn't rise. He understood Edward's fear and confusion. "None of our kind has ever tried to get a soul before. So he is really your only source of information."

"That's okay. I don't need him to talk about it." Edward asked reading Angel's thoughts. Spike wasn't going to seek him out and have a nice chat over a cup of blood. He was going to avoid talking about it until he couldn't anymore. Angel nodded slowly.

"Well, here are your rooms." Angel announced changing the subject. You can take any on this floor. I'm in the suit at the top of the stairs. Fred stays up a few floors so I don't want any of you taking a room up there. Spike moves around a bit. You'll be able to tell which one he's been staying in recently."
