FATES INTERVENTION
by vampchick
Disclaimer: Nope. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Distribution: Sure. Why not? Synopsis: In "Graduation Day", what if Buffy took the shot instead of Angel? Author's Notes: Based on a challenge by AngelluvsBuffy87@aol.com Challenge: I want to see Buffy take the arrow Faith shot at Angel. However, before the arrow is shot, Buffy and Angel are arguing, and he yells at her, "I never want to see you again, I don't love you," thinking it'd be best to get her to go away. He didn't mean it, of course. Buffy says "Fine" and walks away crying. She then gets this feeling and looks up at where Faith is and sees the arrow being shot, she pushes Angel out of the way and takes it. You can start from where ever. CURE: Not Slayer's blood MUST HAVES: At least three things from the list. 1. Buffy finding out her mom talked to Angel 2. Whistler coming back 3. Buffy's secret coming out; she was planning on leaving after Angel left 4. Angel and Buffy talking all sappy 5. They somehow make love...your choice 6. Angel's sister comes to town. Ya know her name was Kathy, it was in one ep, you can change her name. She MUST have a background story as to how she is alive after Angelus killed her and she must have friends! 7. The Council knowing the cure, but refusing to give it away unless she kills Angel. You don't have to have this if Angel is part of the cure. 8. Buffy getting more than 24 hours to live and tries to go out and fight the Mayor. POSSIBLE: The gang aren't happy that she took the shot. They start talking about how Angel really needs to leave. Buffy overhears and gets really mad. They are no longer friends, including Giles. Make it a really good arguement with really good points. Oh and the final. You HAVE to have Angel and Buffy having a good happy ending. AND it must be rated BELOW NC-17. Feedback: Yep. Totally. Dedication: To all B/A shippers out there. Hang in there. To Shannon. Hang tough big sis. It's almost over. Last to all those who made Moulin Rouge the kick ass movie it is! CHAPTER ONE
I have to get away from her, Angel thought. He stood outside the late Professor Worth's apartment arguing with Buffy. Again. It seems they'd been doing that quite a lot lately. Ever since he'd told her he was leaving, actually. "You know, you caould at least let me know a LITTLE that this is hurting you even the slightest bit!", Buffy yelled. Angel shook his head. Of course it hurts. It hurts like hell. "What, Buffy? You think I have no feelings whatsoever?" The Slayer laughed painfully. "Why not? You don't have a heart." Angel glared down at her. "Don't," he said. "I have a soul. Comes complete with feelings and emotions." Buffy held out her hands. "So why not show some besides anger?" Angel just looked at her. Just leave, he told himself. He turned to leave but her painful outburst stopped him. "Has everything between us been anything? Has everything we've been through meant anything?", she asked. "How can you ask me that? Of course it meant something and you know it!" Buffy nodded. "Yeah, I know it. I've always known it. But with the way you're acting, Angel, I'm starting to wonder." Anger and pain coursed through her. She'd been dying since he'd broken up with her. She wished they didn't fight every time they saw each other. The two of them has to have clear minds, what with the Mayor's Ascension coming up. But Buffy couldn't help what she felt. Angel leaned down towards her. "Buffy, you're making this a hell of a lot harder than it has to be," he said, his voice harsh. Buffy nodded. "Yeah, look who's talking. You don't even care anymore, do you? You're going to fight the Mayor, leave and never look back aren't you?," she asked. "Stop," Angel said. "Aren't you!?," she demanded. Angel stared down at her. Yes, he planned on fighting the Mayor. Yes, he planned to leave. But he never planned to never look back. He would always look back. There's no way he couldn't. Since he'd met her, Buffy had plagued his thoughts night and day. His mind, body and soul belonged to her. He was hers. And she was his. No matter how much he wanted to deny it for her sake-maybe even for his-they belonged to each other. But you made a vow. You vowed to leave her. To give her a chance at that normal life she's always wanted. No matter what it takes, follow through with it. He looked into her eyes, eyes filled with love, anger and pain. Buffy, please don't hate me. "Yes," he replied. Tears filled Buffy's eyes and anger appeared on her face. "You bastard. How can you say that? I'm that easy to forget? WE are that easy to forget?" Angel couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't stand to feel her pain anymore. He had to make her leave. "Buffy, just get away from me. I never want to see you again. I don't love you!" The words shocked him. He had never meant to ever say anything like that. And by the look on Buffy's face, he knew he shouldn't have. The words hit her like a ton of bricks. He doesn't love?, she thought, her heart breaking. She couldn't breathe then. It was like her lungs had stopped. Her heart beat echoed in her ears. Tears slid down her face. I can't let him see, she thought. I can't let him see that I'm dying inside. Anger and pain mashed her face. "Fine," she said painfully. Tears slid freely down her face and sobbs wracked her body. He doesn't love me. Angel doesn't love me. God, just let me die now. Please. Angel stared after her. He wanted to chase her. He wanted to wrap her in his arms and say he was sorry, that he hadn't met it. He wanted to kiss away her tears, make her pain disappear. But he didn't. "Buffy, please forgive me," he murmured. He turned around and began to walk away. How could I have said that? I've never said anything like that. God, what have I done to her? Buffy slowed her pace. She felt something. Something evil. Not a vampire. Not a demon. It was deep down, inside her. She stopped. Angel, she thought. She spun around, spotting his retreating figure in the small crowd. Buffy searched around with her gaze. Come on, what is it? Something's going to hurt him. Where is it? Then she felt it. Her gaze traveled to the Sun Cinema. Where is it? Her gaze traveled upward. Faith, Buffy thought. The brunette Slayer stood on the roof of the cinema, a crossbow in her hands. Aimed straight at Angel. Buffy broke into a run. Her heart pounded. Her pace grew faster and faster. She reached Angel just as Faith released the arrow. She shoved him out of the way, then felt a painful burning in her chest. Angel landed with a grunt onto the street. He turned around to see who had run into him. His world stopped at what he saw. "Buffy!" Buffy sank to her knees on the street. She heard someone shout her name, but her mind was on the arrow sticking out of the center of her chest. Suddenly she was pulled into someone's arms. She stared up as Angel's face appeared above her. She heard the people around her gasping. "Buffy? Buffy, can you hear me?," Angel asked, his voice panicked. His hands stroked her face, her hair. "Buffy, hang in there. I'll get you to Giles. Love, please, stay with me. Buffy!" Darkness enveloped her.
So? How was it? Suspenseful? Let me know!!!
