Buffy and Angel story
By Angela Renneberg
Chapter 1
A girl stands next to a door all alone. She doesn't look scared of the night like most people in the area are. She looks confident and ready to take on anyone who might try and hurt her or anyone behind the door. Yeah she looks like she could kick my ass, Angel thinks to him self. He usually doesn't think like this but hey it's been a long night no, make that a long week. Trying to work up the courage to come over here isn't the easiest thing to do especially when your ex runs the place.
An ex that wants nothing to do with you, Angel admits to him self. After what happened Angel doesn't blame her why would he if he had been in her shoes he would have done the same thing. Walking out on her was the hardest thing he ever had to do and when he left she made it clear if he walked out that door he better not come back.
I walked out because my pride and this stupid curse kept me from doing what I really wanted to do… Angel didn't need to finish the thought because he already knew where this was going, to more brooding. Yep this was not helping one bit. Trips down memory lane usually didn't did they?
Leaving the thought hanging in the air Angel strode out of the shadows towards the young girl at the door. As he went he couldn't help but notice how she reminded him of Buffy, the ex. That isn't possible… Buffy only being the age of 29 could not have a daughter that old but then again he had had a son go from infancy to age 18 in a matter of weeks so he was ruling nothing out.
The girl caught sight of Angel and stiffened as if preparing for a fight. It Angel respect her a little bit at least she wasn't dumb. Angel may be dangerous because of the power he holds but he doesn't use it against innocence and she seems pretty damn innocent. But Angel never underestimated anyone because he learned with Buffy that things aren't always as they seem.
"Can I help you sir?" she asked politely even though it was prominent that she wanted to kick his ass for just being there.
"Yes I was just looking for an old friend and I figured you might know her." He replied evenly.
"Who would this friend of yours be?" she asked suspiciously.
"Well her name is Buffy Summers." He almost laughed at the shocked look on her face. "By the look on your face I take it you know her?"
"I might but first I need to know who you are." She replied
"The names Angel or you could just tell Buffy her first undead ex is here." He answered with a little bit of mockery in his voice.
"Angel huh, I've heard so much about you according to my boss you fight the good fight but in the process break the ones that love you hearts." She said and there was a hint of satisfaction in her eyes when he winced. Those eyes Angel thought look so familiar. A chocolaty brown color that he used to know very well but had long forgotten how he knew it. The answer was just beyond his reach so he let it go at this point maybe to return later to figure it out.
"You have to make sacrifices when trying to save the world" he answered covering up his hurt at her stab. That comment made her get very angry at him. He was going to have to be careful if he didn't want to get dusted.
"Well not always is this true, look at Buffy she hasn't"
"I wouldn't say that exactly say that. Buffy gave up a lot to be a slayer" he said truthfully. She had given up a lot. A normal life and a lot of people she cared about. If it hadn't been for Buffy this girl probably wouldn't even exist.
