Buffy walked down the dark LA streets. She had finally found Vallisa. She was living in LA and Buffy needed her only friend. Of coarse Val had invited her because of some bug problem. She walked up the vandalized stairs to apartment 667. Buffy laughed hysterically when she learned the number. It was Val and Spike's favorite number. Buffy slowly raised her hand and knocked on the door softly knowing that Vallisa would hear her anyway. She was right Vallisa opened the door clad in only in underwear and a bra.
"Buffy!" she said in surprise hugging the blonde Slayer, "hold on one second." She said closing the door. When the door opened the next time a blonde man walked out the door glaring at Buffy.
"Did I interrupt something?" Buffy asked turning as if she was going to leave.
"No he just has anger issues come in. I have to go to work in a few but I have time for a chat. So what's up?"
Buffy took a seat on the bed next to Vallisa, "Dawn kicked me out. I was kinda hoping I could stay here. I know when you left it was because I yelled at you and told you to leave and I'm really sorry but I don't have anyone else to go to." Vallisa looked at her like she was crazy. Buffy thought she was giving her that look because of asking to stay so she got up and headed for the door.
Vallisa was faster and grabbed her arm, "Of course you can stay Buffy. I love you and I left not because you told me to but because you asked me to." Vallisa's eyes shown a deep blue full of caring and compassion she could almost swim in them. Buffy new the only reason she was doing this was for Spike.
"And don't you even think that I am doing this just because of what I said to Spike. You are my friend and I will do anything for you no matter what it is and I mean anything." She was now staring at Buffy with her deep loving and kind eyes. Buffy gave in to her need to cry and she broke down right there on the floor Crying for everything, Dawn Willow, Xander, Giles, Spike, Tara, Joyce, and her home and old life. Vallisa pulled Buffy into her lap and stroked her hair gently rocking her back and forth as Buffy's tears ran down her face and onto Vallisa's flat bare stomach.
"I need to go kill something." Buffy managed to choke out. Vallisa nodded in agreement and stood up pulling Buffy with her.
They walked around the cemetery finding nothing to kill so far. Buffy was hugging herself. Her body was shaking. Vallisa peeled off her jacket and wrapped it around her tiny body.
"When's the last time you ate?" Buffy shrugged. "After this I have to go to work for a quick sec and then we can go get some food." Buffy nodded in agreement and pulled the black jacket on all the way. She heard a branch snap and both girls quickly turned around.
It was Angel. Vallisa growled at him backing up and pulling Buffy behind her.
"Get the hell away from here Angelus." She said her voice a low menacing hiss.
"Aww why can't I stay and play with the Slayer?" he said teasingly.
"'Cause I'll kick your ass if you come anywhere near here." There was another snapping branch and Vallisa turned around pulling Buffy to her and growling at the second and third vampires. Darla and Drusilla.
"Fuck this." She scooped Buffy up and took off down the dirt path and jumped over the fence and up to and empty apartment building next to wolfram and heart. She set Buffy down and started frantically pounding on the door.
"God Damnit!!! Fred, Weasly, Cordy!!! One of you open the door!" she pounded on the door some more.
"Connor!!!! Open the door before your dad gets here!!!!" a short boy with brown hair opened the door.
"Come in.," he said and Vallisa walked in dragging Buffy behind her, "who's she?"
"Buffy Summers. Buffy this is Connor. Where are Cordy and Fred?" she asked spotting Weasly in a corner bleeding and poorly bandaged.
"They went out looking for you."
"Buffy, can you fix Weasly up?" the blonde nodded and headed over to inspect the Ex-watcher. "Did they say where they would look?" Connor shook his head.
"Okay, don't open the door! Don't let your dad or mom in and don't let him in if he comes tell him Buffy's here." Connor nodded.
"Buffy, stay here and don't leave. Please."
"Okay I'll stay here. Come back soon." Vallisa nodded and went out the door. She inhaled, found Cordy's scent and followed it. She followed back to Wolfram and Heart. Inside she saw the trashed room she sniffed the air and found that Cordy's scent went straight inside and never came out. She opened the cautiously.
She walked through the thrashed lobby the couches and chairs were thrown every which way the desks over turned and phones and computers annihilated.
She walked up the stairs slowly. Peering around every corner her senses on high alert. She heard a faint heartbeat behind a door. She slowly opened it Cordy was lying on the ground face cut up clothes ripped to shreds. Her face was stained with tears.
"Cordy." She whispered stepping closer to the curled up in the corner. She whimpered in response. Vallisa approached her slowly and bent down scooping Cordeila into her arms. She started crying again.
"It's okay Cord. It'll be okay I'm gonna get you out of here. Do you know where Fred is?" Cordy shook her head and buried her face in Val's shoulder. Her hot tears stinging Vallisa's shoulder. She carried her swiftly and quietly down the stairs. When she got out the door she ran into a figure clad in all black.
"Spike, thank god it's you." She looked into her brothers' ace and saw the saw thing she saw when looking into Angel's.
Evil.
She darted down the street to the abandoned apartment building up the stairs and flung the door open and slammed it shut behind her locking all 12 of the locks. She set Cordy down and started a diss-invite spell.
After she finished the spell a series of bangs hit the door it started rattling and Vallisa thought that the deranged vamps would break it down.
"I'm so sorry," bang. "Buffy. You came" bang "at the worst time." Bang "Angel, Drusilla, and Darla are painting the town red." Bang. "And they dragged Spike with them." Bam. Vallisa expected a look of shock on Buffy's face but instead she saw a look of concern.
"What can I do to help?" She put the wall back up.
"Nothing. There's nothing any of us can do but pray." Vallisa curled up in the corner listening to her grandchilde, great-grandchilde, great-great-grandchilde and brothers unending banging on the door.
"Vallisa, Vallisa!" Buffy was shaking her shoulders. She must have fallen asleep.
"They stopped." Vallisa nodded. "I have to go. Go find Fred." Vallisa decided and got up wandering out of the door and into the dark rainy day. It had been raining a lot lately Vallisa noted.
She knew what she had to do, she didn't have a soul and she needed to end this.
"Angelus, Drusilla, Darla, William. Come to me." She called using her sire influence on the four. They came immediately.
"Good kids." She said silkily. Running her hand across Angel's chest.
"Now do as mummy says. Darla, Dru, Spike go fetch me food." They left without a word. She continued to run her hand over Angel's body. She grabbed his shirt and yanked him after her as she took off down the street. The rain was clearing. She bolted into the house inviting Angel in as she did so.
She punched him square in the nose knocking him out and tied him to a chair.
"Don't worry things will be back to normal soon. The hell mouth moved and now the Watchers council is being taken over by pure un-dieing evil. So they un-souled Angel. He got his Sire and Childe. Spike was already with him and they started to paint the town red. Buffy watch him." Buffy sat down in front of him staring un-blinking.
Vallisa started chanting a white light filled her body her eyes went a bright shade of blue that was almost white. Angel's face look as it did right before Buffy killed him so many years ago.
"Val, Buff Connor? Where am I and oh god." He looked completely mortified. As he looked at Cordeila her fragile body lay on the bed asleep. Vallisa wasn't looking at him, she was looking anywhere but at him. A single tear fell down her face. She stood up and went to sit by Connor who also wouldn't look toward his dad.
"I-I-I'm so-s" Vallisa turned to glare at him.
"Shut up." She growled her game face out her eyes full of hurt, pain and sadness. Buffy wrapped her arms around the soulless vampire who started to break down completely in the Slayers tight embrace. A knock sounded at the door and Vallisa nodded to Connor to open it.
Dawn, Willow, Xander, Giles, Faith and Wood walked in. Staring first at the vampire tied to the chair next to the beat up Weasly and Cordy and finally to the vampire with changing hair color and the blonde Slayer holding her letting her fangs sink into her neck.
Buffy new what she was doing but also wondered if the soulless vamp could control herself enough to stop. Drinking for healing need was one thing drinking for filling the bloodlust was another.
But she soon retracted her fangs and continued to sob into the Slayers shoulder. The new comers stood around staring at one another except for Faith she came up and despite being cold and distant also wrapped her arms around the Vamp.
