Title: Pyre's Song
TV Show: Beloved Slayer
Rating: PG-13 to R
Summary: A mysterious, yet handsome stranger moves next door to the Summers' residence, and Buffy is immediately smitten. His name is Angel, and he is a vampire king, arriving in the New World to search for a bride. Unbeknownst to Buffy, Angel is determined at all costs to make her his vampire Queen.
Author's Notes: If anyone can remember watching the movie Fright Night, then this plot is slightly based on it, which means Angel is pretty much like Angelus, but more calculating and charismatic.
Prologue.
From the journals of the Vampire King, Angelus.
Dublin, Ireland.
1787 A.D.
One hundred years had passed rather quickly, much to my disliking, and still there were no sign of her existence anywhere in this remote part of Dublin. I've spent countless years searching for the one who I would deem to possibly become my bride, but the search so far has been daunting and hopeless. It seems as if I will never find her; spend the rest of my immortal days walking the grounds of this vast Earth alone.
I am vehemently close to the point of frustration and bitterness; the urge to toss a stool against the crimson walls close to unbearable. Without a bride, I cannot continue my vampiric line, much less create future heirs. The other Vampire Kings have pushed me to continue my search, but as usual, I had no such luck. My minions were of no use either, and my patience is beginning to wear thin, exhaustion taking place in the depths of my cold, unwelcome heart.
In all my five hundred years of existence, I had loved only one, if you would like to label it that, but even with my reputation as a womanizer, she didn't fare long enough, as I had gotten tired of her antics despite the feelings that existed for her. We had gone our separate ways, and that was the end of it.
Perhaps, I'll be able to find my true love somewhere in the fresh discovery of the New World.
