Turn Me Away
By Erykah Miszti
I'm a bloody fool.
Don't know why it happened. Wish it hadn't. Why is unlife never fair?
All I wanted was to take the pain away. The rejections of those poncy toffs
still hurt somewhere in that stupid part of me that shouldn't be human
anymore, but somehow still is. Tried to be evil. Tried to be good. Whatever
I do, I'm always here rejected and alone. Not good enough. Not demon enough.
It was supposed to be fun, right? Sounds fun, don't it? Be a vampire. Live
forever. Was okay when I could make the pain go away by giving it to someone
else. Fangs tearing flesh, my life for theirs, my pain gifted to them. Don't
even get that trick anymore.
It was okay once.. with Dru. Oh Dru, my Dark Goddess. My saviour, my love.
Took me away from the rejection and gave me a home. Held me tight against her
cold breasts during those endless days. How could cold flesh warm me so much?
We comforted each other in our own way in those years after losing Angelus
and Darla. Their absence, their rejection, only hurt less because she was
with me. I told myself I didn't care. Dru and me against the entire fucking
world!
But always that ragged hole. Angelus. The one who taught me.
So cold. No pain seemed to touch him. No mercy. No humanity. None of the
heart I'm sodding well stuck with. Heh, I used to envy him for that. Look at
the poof now! Worse than me. Soft bastard.
Is it easy to not kill will a soul? It's easy to not kill with a chip. Bugger
that soul bollocks! You try killing with a human heart. That hurts like a son
of bitch. That's the definition of evil though, isn't it Angel? Love thy
victim. The soul doesn't stop you, does it Angel? It isn't conscience that
kept you brooding in bed through those days and nights. It's fear. That's
why you left Buffy, isn't it? She wasn't your lover. She was just another of
your victims. You kept her hanging because you fed on her pain, the same way
you always have. And Darla? You do love her, peaches, but that just makes you
want to hurt her more, doesn't it? It's why you screw over those poor morons
in LA who care about you so much. You love them too. The blood may keep you
alive but it's the pain that makes you live: yours and theirs.
That's what Buffy and the Slayerettes haven't figured out yet. The demons eat
out our bodies and send our souls packing to whatever shithole in the sky
that's reserved for their victims but they can't destroy our human hearts.
They twist and corrupt them. They stop them beating the blood through our
flesh but there's something they can't kill. The human heart isn't in that
lump of dead meat, it's not in our soul. Our minds don't die, our genes don't
die, we still feel pain and love is pain a hundred times magnified till only
the embrace of the one you love can chase it away for a moment.
Fucking listen to me! There's that idiot kid right there, still inside me.
The bloody poet with dreams of love, all tangled with the demons reality.
Truth is, this is the demons world. They were here first. God made them in
his image first, not Humans. They're the bastard kids and we're the bastard
kids of the bastards and the truth.
I love Buffy. I love her so much. I want to rip her chest open and eat her
heart, just to feel the warmth of her inside me. Her blood on my cold, white
skin. I want to strip her skin off and wrap myself in it. I'd do anything for
a single smile, fuck, even a single well thrown punch that shows she cares
enough to beat me up! It hurts. Shit, it hurts.
I want Dru back. She made me comfortable, welcome. It didn't hurt to be with
her. It didn't make me feel this uncontrollable itch. My mind didn't race, my
skin didn't crawl and my pain was calmed.
Yeah, I wanted to kill anyone who touched her but I didn't want to kill her
friends just so they'd leave us alone together. I didn't want to turn the
whole world upside down just to get rid of her frown, to stop her pain.
I look at her and it hurts. I touch her and it hurts. I think of her and I
want to gouge out my eyes and reach into my brain. Tear that chip out with my
bare hands. Get my release back, so I can give my pain away again. I want to
kill people.
Not her though. Never her. Never could.
Sometimes want to die but then I'd never see her again. Being here like this
is better than nothing. It has to be.
Can't control my tongue. I had to tell her. Wanted to tell her. Couldn't keep
it inside. Want to tell her everything. About the pain. She'd understand
that. She understands pain. We could take each others pain. Want her to talk
to me. Want her to cry to me. She knows about the pain. I want to take hers
away.
I love Buffy. But she turns me away. They all do.
