Faith Pov
I walked into the bar to find Brian wiping off the counter. Thank god the place was nearly empty,
I don't really like people much anymore, and that's why I mostly only came in on Mondays
because nobody else went out on Mondays. I went over and sat on one of the stools and
started talking to Brian.
"Hey"
"hey" He replied "usual"
"Yeah" I said, I usually just got JD whenever I was here so that's what Brian gave me and he
usually gave it to me for free, that's one of the perks of making friends with a bartender,
anyway Brian got back with the JD then he held of his lighter and in the deepest voice said to
me.
"rough day"
That made me smile, whenever Brian could tell that I had A bad day he would joke and make
me laugh, and he always had the sweetest smile on his face, just like right now.
"yeah, you know, same old shit" I told him and he was smiling at me again.
"yeah I can relate" he said, which also made me smile you see Brian wasn't a normal human
because for one he was 2000 years old and he was also a shapeshifter and that's why I cant
really describe what he looks like because he is always changing something about himself, for example he can change his eyes from blue to green in a second if he wants or his hair from black
to blonde, but you know he always left various things on him so I could recognize him, like he
usually kept his body shape the same he was very muscular but kide of short as he was only an
inch taller than me, not that he could not change that if he wanted, but anyway , he also wore
the same kind of clothes, normally it was a white T shirt, Black jeans and black biker boots he
affectionately calls his Shit kickers(yes he can fight too),he also keeps his facial features mostly
the same, his face was long and thin he had bushy eyebrows that he tried to keep
trim, he had
full lips and some above average size ears, he had short spiked hair and a fairly large head, I
mean not huge but you know above average but other wise he was handsom. Just in case your
thinking it, I am not (and that is a big NO) attracted to
him in THAT WAY, I mean its not like I
haven't thought about it at certain time like during my double H's, I am still Faith after all but I
behave myself because for one Brian is a heartbreaker, don't get me wrong he is a good guy
but there have been times that I have seen three or four women exiting his house and I was not
looking to get involved in that kind of thing again, and for two I had to face that I was getting
older, I am 32 now and I couldn't just go around picking up guys like a teenage girl anymore, so
I had made the decision a long time ago that I was just gonna find someone I liked and settle
down but that is just a matter of when because I couldn't find anyone I liked well enough to
settle with for one reason or another, but just then Brian tapped me on my shoulder, shaking
me out of my thoughts,
"WHAT" he was looking at me amused.
"I said I have a lead on that pack of vampires we were hunting". He was still looking at me
amused and I kind of wanted to punch him but we have hunting down this pack of vampires for
about two weeks so I could not afford to have my backup in the hospital.
"where are they" he looked at me kind of disappointed and said.
"in hell". 'huh'
"huh". now I was
confused
"yeah you remember those two women who gave us the case in the first place". he looked at
me expectantly.
" yeah". 'Jesus I just wish he would get to the point'
"Well they rushed in here this morning and said that the pack had doubled back instead of
running away like we thought, the girl said they were kidnapped but that a man had saved
them at the last minute".
"a man". 'what other person would be hunting vampires in this city' I thought.
"yeah and I was thinking that if there is another person doing this maybe we track him down try
to get him to join us because lord knows we need the help". well he was right about that.
"Ah, what the hell , you got a description". I didn't expect him to actually have one but I caught
a break.
"yeah actually I do". and Brian pulled out his notepad to read the description to me. "the girls
said that he was about 6ft 2in tall , 180 pounds, very muscular, dark brown eyes, spiked black
hair and um beautiful, oh and he also had a long black coat". I just sat there frozen because I
knew someone who looked exactly like that but it was impossible there was no way HE was
here in New York, but then Brian shook me out of my thoughts once again.
"You ok Faith you look like you've seen a ghost". NO I was not feeling ok now I was feeling sick
so I did the only logical thing I could do, I lied.
"yeah five by five but I got to motor". and before Brian could reply I hightailed it out of the bar
and to my apartment and I didn't get a wink of sleep that night, the description of the man
bothered me too much because their was no way HE was here because HE disappeared ten
years ago I was sure HE was dead but their was no proof no one had seen him die but its been
ten years HE had to be dead, but with that on my mind the whole night I couldn't sleep I just
stayed up watching old movies and its about noon now and I was still in the same place but
then I heard a knock on my door. 'its probably just Brian wondering what's wrong so I just yelled from
the couch.
"Brian I'm
find I just need some alone time". but I heard the knock again ,fuck can this guy not
take a I just yelled louder.
"FUCK BRIAN I'M FINE OK". then I heard a voice through the door.
"Faith it's me". oh my god, did I just hear who I thought I heard,
well only one way to find out so
I got up and slowly walked to the door and finally opened it and I came face to face with Him
and he spoke.
"hey". I was at a loss for words as the
only one I could get out was his name.
"Angel".
