Told you so: Chapter 2
"Why is there so many vampires out tonight?" Buffy asked, looking back at Angel and Spike.
"They sense something is changing," Angel answered.
"It better not be another 'big' battle," Buffy groaned, rolling her eyes and looking towards her daughter.
"Mum, who is that?" Hope asked, pointing across the graveyard to a figure standing on the tomb looking out across the graveyard.
Everyone turned to the direction that Hope was pointing; they all took off running towards the figure. Spike and Angel in front, while Buffy followed closely behind and Hope followed after her mum. As they neared the figure jumped from the tomb and headed for the trees, Angel and Spike ran ahead entered the trees and being knocked back on to their backs.
"Connor?" Angel questioned in disbelief.
"Connor, what is he doing here?" Spike asked, watching as the teenage boy ran at them with a stake.
Buffy burst through the trees, kicking the stake from the boy's hand and kicking him in the stomach. Sliding backwards on the floor; the boy's green eyes caught on to Buffy and stayed on her.
"Buffy?" Connor questioned unsurely; Buffy nodded.
Hope watched carefully from a branch high in the trees, she watched the boy's movements, as he was slowly relaxing and then smiled.
"Dad, you didn't tell me you were currently living with Buffy," Connor said towards Angel.
"I would have called, but I don't have your number," Angel replied, getting up along with Spike.
"I don't have a phone," Connor replied, as Angel walked up to beside Buffy and Connor stood in front of them.
From the tree Hope jumped down landing next to Spike, she glanced at him and then at Connor standing talking with Angel and her mum.
"I need to kill something," Spike told Hope; causing Hope to smirked and look to the side at Spike.
"I know," Hope replied.
"Let's go," Spike said, turning away from everyone and heading back into the graveyard.
Hope and Spike walked silently around the graveyard, their eyes watching for any movement and stakes in their hands ready. Hope jumped up on to stone coffin and looked around the empty graveyard, before she sat down and rested her head on her hand.
"Nothing to kill," Hope sighed.
"You becoming too much like me," Spike told Hope.
Punching Spike in the shoulder, she set her stake down beside her and looked up at the sky above.
"Who is Connor?" Hope asked.
"Angel's impossible Son," Spike answered.
"Vampire?" Hope asked, her eyes remaining on the stars above.
"No, he is human, but he has the vampire abilities and none of our weaknesses," Spike answered.
"Great… Spike I will make a bet with you," Hope said.
"What's the bet?" Spike asked.
"Connor with stay at our house and tomorrow night I won't be allowed to come hurting with you guys," Hope said, holding out her hand waiting for Spike to shake it.
"You're going to win," Spike said, shaking her hand.
"Angel, why didn't you tell me about this sooner," Buffy yelled.
"That would have gone badly…Buffy I have a teenage child, who's name is Connor," Angel said, rolling his eyes at the last part.
"I would have gotten over it," Buffy replied.
"Before or after staking me?" Angel asked.
"After, then I would have brought you back and staked you again," Buffy answered, Connor stood to the side listening as the two 'adults' argued like an old married couple.
Seeing Spike and a young girl shaking hands Connor walked towards them, he walked as Spike tackled the girl to the ground and then they both broke out in a laughed fit. Connor stood right next to them, before either one of them noticed and went to reach for their stakes. Seeing it was him they both sighed and stand up against a tomb stone.
"Hello Connor," Spike greeted.
"Hi Spike…Hello Hope," Connor greeted.
'Hello Connor," Hope replied politely, tucking her hair behind her ear and looking up at Connor.
There was a long awkward silence, Spike scratched the back of his head and waited for one of the teenagers to speak.
"So…how are you doing?" Spike asked.
"Fine, just finished my training with a magic monk," Connor answered.
"Hope, Spike, Connor, we are going home," Buffy said, Angel was nowhere in sight.
"Where is my Dad?" Connor asked.
"He went for one last check around the cemetery," Buffy answered quickly, heading towards home at a fast pace.
