Dark Discoveries

Chapter 1: Encounter in the Dark Streets of Los Angeles!

It was a full moon lit night as she walked down the shaded path in the dark streets of Los Angeles. She was alone and had no knowledge of who or what her parents were. She was truly alone, even when she was with her friends who did not live in the Richmond Institution for Abandoned Orphans. They were different than her in the fact that they had families who cared and looked after them as families should. She was alone, with no family to care for her that she knew of at the moment. Jed and Brendon were her two best friends but unlike her was a known fact that they had families and homes to go home to nightly.

She had no one except for herself or so she thought as she scoped out potential rich people or just people who had money to pick pocket as they walked by so at least she could eat tonight unlike the last couple of nights when they did not score any money!! She felt Jed and Brendon tap her on each of her shoulders and say, "You have somewhere to stay tonight Jess?" She grinned slyly as she spotted two gentlemen walking with two ladies in front of the fancy restaurant, each of them clad in expensive clothing. She looked at them and said "I'll sneak up on them, and grab their money to go along with the jewels that we got earlier this evening. Then we'll go eat! Jed, Brendon, stay here and wait for me to return and keep a lookout for the cops! I will return then we can go get pizza and sodas at the pizza kingdom. Stay quiet and keep your eyes open boys!"

They replied as they looked at her intensely & didn't particularly agree with her methods as they protested as the both grabbed her arm gently as they whispered to her." Jess maybe you shouldn't as those guys look rough?" She smiled at them and began to walk awaybut felt their hands on her arm."Don't tell me that you two are frighten of a couple older gentlemen now? She walked away quietly before they could protest anymore about what she was about to do as they hid in the bushes. She snuck behind some trash cans and as the two gentlemen turned around and were not looking at her, she cautiously made her way towards them making her move for their wallets!

She grabbed his wallet cautiously trying not to draw any attention to herself or to what she was doing. She looked up as she felt someone grab her arm that had the wallet in its grasp. She heard a growl come from the man that was holding her arm with a firm, strong grasp and was not afraid or scared as he went into his vamped face showing his sharp, pointed fangs as she gazed at him along with his glowing eyes. She struggled in his strong grasp as he grabbed a hold of her with both of his arms holding her tight in his grasp against her will.

She continues to struggle in his grasp but stopped as she remembered about Jed and Brendon in the bushes and said "Take off guys and do not worry about me! I will meet up with you guys later. If you do not do what I am saying, I will kick both of your butts from here to tomorrow personally! Now get out of here and keep yourselves safe and out of trouble!"

He did not respond at first as Angelus grinned as he saw Jed and Brendon step out of the shadows watching the struggle that was happening and said "Spike grab them and hurry before they get away because we need to talk to them." She watched as Spike turned back around; she noticed that Jed and Brendon had fled like she had told them to leaving her alone with the four vampires. She said "Who are you? What do you want with me?"

The man smiled an evil grin at her showing his fangs to her as he spoke to her and said "Jess, your mother and the others thought that they could keep you actually hidden from us ,boy were they all wrong! You want to know who I am? I am yours father Angelus! Well in actual reality is that I'm the soulless version of your father but that piece of knowledge we shall just keep between us. We have been searching all over for you my child along with trying to find where your mother went into hiding too.

She stares at the man in disbelief and as she comes to her senses she says as she pushes him away from her and into the wall "You can't be my father as I've never had a father before to my knowledge as I don't have a mother or father! I'm an orphan without any one to take care of me! I'm alone and have to fend and feed myself by pick pocketing and doing jewelry heists and that is a hard thing for me to do but I do it in order to survive in this world!!"

She is released but does not run away from Angelus but instead she listens to Angelus as he speaks "I am sorry Jess and wished that the circumstances had been different at the time of your temporarily abandonment. She slams her fists against his chest as she begins to break down into tears! He motions for Spike to come over to him as he was talking with Darla and Dru. She watches as he walks over towards them after he had been talking to the ladies and she hears Darla say "When are we going to eat boys? Can we taste the girl and sire her now?"

She could see the rage in Angelus's eyes and face and heard him growl showing his fangs as he replies "No Darla! You will not be feeding off of my daughter! When the time comes to sire her, I will be the one to do it and no one else! You understand me Darla that is the end of it! Spike take Darla and Dru somewhere to get a bite to eat and keep it low profile as we don't need any un-needed attention. She looks at his face as he's standing in front of her and as she sees him lick his fangs in hunger, she begins to worry that she might be his take-out and is also sort of worried about what he might do to her!

Spike looked at Jess who was still struggling against Angelus's grasp. Spike spoke where you could hear his British accent clear and evident. "Angelus mate, you might want to let the little one know here that you aren't going to eat her especially if you want to bait the slayer out of hiding now right?" Darla and Dru stood nearby as they watched their boys as they discussed the girl and how she was going to be the bait to lure the slayer out to Angelus.
