Dancing In the Moonlight
Chapter 2
By: Bem3373
Buffy had just finished her dancing for the day when her coach walked over with a woman. Pete looked cross and angry. Buffy, I would like you to meet Ms. Lilac Harrison. She's an agent, but more importantly on the dancers committee." The dancers committee was the group of people who controlled everything to do with the dancers. "Is there a problem?" Buffy asks, directing her question to Pete, but Lilac answers. "Unfortunately, yes. We have found Mr. Henshaw incapable of teacher someone like you." "Someone like me? What does that mean?" "It just means someone with your particular talents. We have personally found someone who will be better for you. I would like for you to meet Mr. Jack Draper" She motions over a man wearing all black. He walks over and smiles at me. Pete and Lilac leave, and Jack starts making a schedule with Buffy.
Angel is confused when Pete walks over, and then leaves another man with her. As Pete is walking past him, he grabs his arm gently. "Hey, what's going on?" "I've been replaced. That's her new coach. I don't know what's happening. That guy won't stop until every bone in her body is broken." Pete says. Angle frowns. "What does that mean?" "It means the guy has no idea what a limit is. He's gonna push her until every piece of skin she has is black and blue. That's the guy they give to the person they don't like .They use him to break spirits. In a few weeks she will be sure that she is a terrible dancer and will probably quit." Angle's frown deepens. "Why would they do that? She's a great dancer." "Ask Lilac. She has it in for the poor girl." Angel sighs. "Alright. Thanks." He see's Buffy walking out the door, and Angel moves to follow her.
Buffy looks at the paper that Draper had given her. Her new workout schedule was crazy. She now had to run 20 miles every day and dance 30 songs minimum. She had no idea how she would fit in her job. She teaches teens dance classes for work. It doesn't pay a lot, but it pays the bills. She pulls her bag around her body and digs through it, pulling out a small brass key. She walks up to a dirty apartment building. She starts up the 5 flights of stairs leading to the place she calls home. She finds the door labeled 28 and puts her key into the knob. She turns the key and walks in, leaving the door open. She hears the door creak behind her and turns quickly, only to see Angel Lewis. The Angel Lewis. "Hi." Is all she can say. Angel laughs gently. "Hey. I just wanted you to know that you're a great dancer." Buffy gives a shaky laugh. "thanks." Angel smiles and says "If you want me to go, then I'll go." "Oh no! Sorry, I've never met anyone famous before." She gives him a gentle smile. He smiles back and walks over to sit on the one chair in the small room. Buffy closes the door and sits on the twin sized bed. After an hour of just talking, Buffy feels like she has known him forever. They keep on talking until it gets to be 2 in the morning. "Oh, crap. I forgot to eat dinner." Buffy laugh as she says this. "I would get you something, but I don't have a fridge. Sorry" She laughs again. "It's ok. It's late, you better get some sleep. I'll call you." And Angel leaves. Buffy smile once more before collapsing on her small bed and falling asleep.
