Heavy Snowfall in Sunnydale since, ever – that's what the news weather man stated yesterday morning just before the sun rose from the east. It was the most precious, extraordinary day of her life because for the first time ever, along with the snow, she was able to enjoy the entire day outside with Angel. She wished she could replay that day over and over again, but alas she couldn't. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't bear to repeat the fight they had just before the miracle occurred.
"Am, I a thing worth saving, huh…the world wants me gone!"
"What about me?"
Grabbing a fist full of snow Buffy threw it towards a tombstone, the tombstone that supposedly was going to have a rising, which was supposedly going to help her get her mind off of certain details in life, like not being able to have Angel. Not being able to enjoy his company without needing so much more.
"You'll never be friends."
She quivered over the recognition of Spike actually being right. "It's not fair!" Jumping down off the crypt she was sitting on, Buffy began to head back home. It was all just a waste of time, and she would be happy to tell that to Giles tomorrow at school. Sighing heavily, she decided to cut through the park – nothing against the previous street she was on, it's just that was usually the road she also took to get to Angel's place. He's not someone she really wants to see right now.
True, yesterday was the best day of her life, but the morning was the worst. Angel was going to kill himself, literally going to fry to dust. And his reason simple, "Me."
"I want you so badly…and I know it'll cost me my soul, and a part of me doesn't care."
Tears escaped, streaming down the side of her cheeks over the memory. She could still remember the dream; remember his attack, her near death after their night of bliss.
"You'll be in love till it kills you both."
Why can't for once everything just go the way it's supposed to go? "Why can't I be happy?" She didn't even notice the question escape her lips as she wiped away the tears. All she wanted was to have one normal thing, one precious gift for her to have for herself. She's the slayer, she's to fight the forces of darkness, but can't whomever is in charge of life give her one thing in return? Is that too much to ask?
"You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends."
"He's right." She whispered, taking a seat on one of the swings in the park. Rocking back and forth, she contemplated on how much Spike was right about her and Angel. She hated the thought of that love sick vampire being right, but from everything that's happened since that night at the magic shop; she couldn't help but admit to his statement given then.
"Love isn't brains, children, it's blood...blood screaming inside you to work its will."
"God, shut-up!" Buffy shouted just now grasping the awareness of someone pushing her on the swing. Her heart nearly stopped beating when the familiar voice echoed her name from behind.
"Buffy?" Stopping her mid-way on the swing, Angel spun her around to face him, his eyes looking concerned over his love sitting before him. He could tell she had been crying and wanted nothing more than to hold her close in his arms and give her all the comfort she needed to erase whatever had bothered her so – but he only continued to stand his ground with his hands wrapped around the chains of the swing set.
It didn't take her long for the figure to finally sink in, he was standing there with his heart open to her, and all she could do was grieve about losing it. "Angel what are you doing here?"
Answering his question with a question, he expected it, especially from the state she was in, something was deeply bothering her, but it wasn't until a second ago did she even realize his presence.
"I was out for a walk, and I saw you sitting out here alone." He smiled trying to give her some light in her dark, but she could only shield it out, something was blocking her from him, something he wanted so much to be rid of. "If you want I could leave."
His last phrase stuck out most, leave, would he? Would he leave her for good if given another chance? If there was yet another bump in their long darkened road would he give up?
The silent awkwardness drew Angel's attention away as he turned to walk off; Buffy finally realized his leaving and ran to his side.
"No don't go." She grabbed his shoulder forcing him to face her as her eyes began to glisten.
"Buffy what's wrong?" Angel asked as his thumb caressed her face, wiping away the tear that almost slid down the side of her cheek.
She could only shake her head, trying to fight back the tears that she's been holding in for so long now, "Nothing." She replied, "Nothing at all. Just don't leave." Wrapping her arms around his waist she held on tight as if he were her only lifeline.
Standing still, Angel didn't know whether to force her in telling him her problem or just ignore it completely and hold her in return. His arms took the first move and wrapped themselves around her; an answer to his question, Angel rested his head on top of hers. "I'm not going anywhere."
"Aw, True Love, doesn't it just make you want to gag?" Both Buffy and Angel turned to face the hiss that came from behind. Her hair ragged as her skinned cling to her face, or was it a he? The red piercing eyes didn't help much or the fact that his entire body was muscular and what the chest was revealing was either boobs or buffed pecks. Either way, this was one ugly demon.
"Let me guess, you were the one rising?" Buffy's statement sounded more like aggravation rather than a question. She pulled herself from Angel's arms as she began to get into her slayer stance.
"Dew drop, I already rose from my grave. Your chance of killing me on your own has come and gone." It hissed once more, as a few other demonistic creatures came from the shadows, surrounding both Buffy and Angel. "Kill the Slayer!"
Side by side, both Angel and Buffy fought off the team of minions, with a stake here, kick there and some twisting of a few necks on the side. It was exactly what the slayer needed and wanted. Everything she was thinking of previously was suddenly being washed from her mind, the distractions was all she needed to bring back the feel in doing what she was meant to do.
One last tear from the shoulders of its last minion's body, Angel dropped the head. "I think Buffy's chance at killing you has come again."
Not even making a run for it the creature stood still in shock as Buffy snapped it's neck watching as it's body shriveled to the ground before disappearing off into the soul.
"Well it looks like I won't be having a pep talk with Giles tomorrow." She stated smiling up towards the big tall vampire before her. "My nights free."
He knew it was an invitation, and he knew that whatever was bugging her earlier was locked deep within her self-conscious; leaving this bright happy Buffy he adored seeing. "So, is mine." He replied swiftly; as the two headed out of the park, side by side.
This was exactly what she wanted, no worries, just a night out with her love. Something normal, something she rarely got to enjoy. As she slid her hand into his, she couldn't help but smile more from the emotions she was feeling right now, because now, now is perfect.
But she is the slayer, when does normal come in that territory?
"Excuse me?" A low hushed voice came from behind, just before either of them could turn around to face whomever was back there, the creature suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of them, leaving a black trail of smoke behind. "I couldn't help but notice your night," disappearing once more Angel grabbed a hold of Buffy not sure what this creature was as it continued to pop in and out, leaving trails of smoke and as a matter of fact not even touching the ground. "I don't mean to frighten you." Its voice echoed once more, this time not revealing itself.
"Then why not just leave the hocus pocus stuff out, and show yourself." Angel spat, still holding Buffy close.
"I was only being polite." The creature smile was the only thing revealed at first, before the black smoke soon became a beings body. "Hello, my name is Dusyanta, I mean you no harm. I'm only here to give you what you asked for."
His movement was clearly revealing just how much he wanted to disappear and re-appear again, it was as if he were addicted to it, that or it was what his culture was used to doing.
"Ask for? I didn't ask for anything." Angel replied unsure about this whole situation.
The creature smiled once again, revealing his sharp teeth, "Oh not you." He then faced back towards Buffy who was hidden behind Angel's back with only her head sticking out.
"Me?" She asked taking a step out.
"Unless there's another Buffy Summers, amongst us who is also a slayer." Something was wrong; Angel could feel it deep within his senses, as did Buffy. But she couldn't help but be curious about what this creature was referring to.
"And what is that?" She asked, prepared to fight if need be.
His voice remained coy as he slowly walked towards her, Angel backed away with Buffy next to him, hinting to the creature keep its distance.
"Why a gift of course," the response wasn't what she planned on hearing, how did he know about her little conversation with herself not too long ago, especially since she was mostly talking to herself in her mind. "Didn't you ask for someone, somewhere to give you something in return? I mean you have done so much, why not, give you what you deserve?"
Buffy's heart pounded from the answer, was this for real? Was someone, somewhere finally answering her? This guy sure was a little creepy, sharp teeth, disappearing here and there, but then again he looked normal and could be nice. Though on the other hand, she could tell Angel wasn't as trustworthy with the whole issue.
"What's your gift?" Angel sent a disturbed look towards her, but she ignored it as she stepped forward towards the creature. She wasn't stupid, if he did try something, she'd be ready for it.
"How about," He paused as he tilted his head ever so slightly, "getting a glimpse of Angel's future?"
Startled by the answer both Angel and Buffy now had their full attention to this new creature before them. It wasn't too long ago did Buffy send Angel to hell, only to return somehow, in some way, finding out that it was the First. So it claims, whereas Buffy for the first time is given the chance to see if her future and his will be tied forever, and will they finally get through these trials and mishaps?
"Well?" He asked holding out his hand. Taking one last glance towards Angel Buffy reached out and grabbed a hold of the creature's hand, disappearing from Angel's eyes.
I'll post the next chapter tomorrow, it's late and I'm a bit tired so. night. and don't forget to review and tell me if you think it's a good idea for me to even remotely try and write a sequel to one of my stories. lol
