I feel myself halt in midstep as a scent I never thought I would ever smell again hit me. I took in a big breath and turned sharply to the left. I had found my sire! He was in L.A.!
I walk up to the door and cautiously open it.
"Welcome to Angel Investigations, we help the hopeless." Said a really bubbly voice. I turned and stared at her.
"Are you on medications?" I asked. Her face turned shocked. the man beside her chuckled.
"No why?" She asked.
"Nobody should ever sound that happy." I said. "May I ask if there is a vampire her that goes by the name Angelus?" the woman's face paled very fast. The man stepped up and glared at me.
"And who's asking?" He asked.
"One of his children." I said, giving him a look.
"I'll take you right too him." The man said. "Cordelia, watch upstairs." We walked through another office before walking into what appeared to be a very old styled elevator. The ride down was very awkward. "If you're one fo his children, how do you go about in the daylight?" He asked.
"I'm only a half vampire." I said. "I have all their strengths, but none of their weaknesses." I explained to him. The elevator slowly made it's way down, torturing me. "Where there stairs we could've walked down?" I asked.
"Now that cha mention it, yeah there are." The Irish man said. I rolled my eyes. "Angel! Get over here! There's someone to see you."
Teh same man that stood before me then, stood before me now. But something had changed. I glanced at his eyes and that's where I saw it, a soul. "Angelus?" I asked, looking him over from top to bottom.
"It's Angel now." He said, crossing his arms. I mockingly did the same.
"That sounds really girly Angelus." I muttered. i glanced at Angelus and then turned. "Welp, bye!" I said as I made my way up the stairs. My few hundred year old search had come to a close, I found my Sire, i was happy.
"Hey Wait!" Angelus yelled, his voice barely catching me before I walked out the door. I stopped and looked back at the darkest office, Angelus motioned for me to go to him. I scowled, seeing that I had no choice in the matter. I sat in one of the chairs and then just stared.
"Where have you been?" He asked sounding concerned.
"Where have I been!?" I questioned. "No! Where have you been, we were supposed to meet in Russia!" I said, raising my voice. "do you know how worried I was?"
He looked at the ground, then up at me slowly. "I can still feel the Sire bond." He said softly. "I know how worried you were."
I scoffed and marched over to the couch, plopping down on it. "And you did nothing." I mutter, glaring at the man. "you never went searching?" I asked.
"I did, but to kill my creations, not mentor them." He said. "I'm glad you stayed just out of reach."
"Aah, that's right, you now have a soul." I said. "How did you get one?" I gave him my Bitchy look and he nodded.
"Full story?"
"Uh, duh." I said, raising an eyebrow. I stretched out on the couch and got comfortable.
"Well, it was gypsies that gave me a soul." He said. "Darla had just gotten me a fresh one for a present, before I left to go get you, and show you off to her, my greatest child. The girl she brought me, she had gone great length for, she was untouched. I, of course, fed from adn killed her, without thinking."
"Yeah i know you don't think." I mutter. I felt his glare and I flinched. "Telling the truth. I can't lie to you remember?"
Angelus rolled his eyes. "I went about my few remaining days there as if I hadn't killed her, but her clan, her family found out it was me, and they cursed me. They gave me my soul back, as a curse. I will have my soul until I feel a moment of true happiness."
"They like handing out those curses don't they?" I asked, grinning. "Wanna know why I have one?"
"It wouldn't hurt to know." Angelus said.
"Well, you see, I wasn't feeding properly, you see, you were supposed to teach me how to do it without leaving a mess. Down in Russia I starved, so I traveled, Italy, Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, South America, Africa, Australia, Norway, Ireland, Then I ended up back in England. I sat on the side of the road, beggin' for money, for blood, even if it was from demons. A gypsy woman found me, she was gonna kill me, but when she looked into my eyes, she saw the human there. She gathered me up and took me to her family, who decided for the human in me, to give me a soul, mine is eternal though." I stated, looking thoughtful.
"well that wasn't much of a story." Angelus muttered.
"Better than yours!" I said, sitting up straight. I pointed my nose in the air. "At least you didn't interrupt."
"Aye' but you never could stop yourself from putting in a word either." He said, his Irish accent coming through. (I wrote this entire chapter sounding out words with an irish accent.) i rolled my eyes.
"Women are supposed to end the argument, you know, get the last word in there." I said grinning.
"I do have a request." Angelus started out.
"and that is?" I question.
"Stop referring to me as Angelus, it's Angel now."
