Chapter 4
Blaze tilted her head to the side and spoke in a sing song voice, "I'm a Wicca silly," and she rolled her eyes. Blaze lifted her head upright and shook her head, "Hang on, we already covered that when I made a pretty hole in your shirt," and she let her eyes roam again to the flesh that was exposed. She looked in to his eyes, "I guess there's a bit of demon in me too somewhere. But, haven't we all got a bit of demon in us?" she smiled and then raised her eyebrows, "Some more than others."
Blaze slowly walked up to him and placed a hand on his chest. She looked in to his eyes and pouted, "Does that mean you don't want to play?"
Angelus grinned. "I always want to play love...Just means that it won't end with you being dead." His smile widened. "What do you want to play?"
Blaze looked down and ran her finger down to the rip in his shirt. She lightly touched his bare stomach with her fingers. She looked back up in to his eyes then put her hand in to her skirt pocket. She pulled out the necklace that she usually wore around her neck. She held it up in front of her face. She tilted her head to the side and fingered the silver cross lovingly. It was her favourite because it was the only one she could find with a sharp pointy end to it. She pricked the end of her finger with it and watched a small bead of blood form on her finger tip. She held her finger up in front of Angelus' lips. She looked in to his eyes and smiled, "How about this game?"
Angelus didn't flinch when she pulled out the cross. Not that it didn't bother him, but he didn't flinch like most other vampires. He did however flinch at her blood. He'd been off human blood for a long while, but the craving was still there. When she ran it by his lips it took all of him not to take hold of her finger. He pushed himself back. "I don't drink human blood anymore." He had flipped suddenly from the pure evil of Angelus to the subtle Angel. He still hadn't been able to find that balance. He seemed to be Angelus all the time, except when he was tempted by human blood.
Blaze was surprised when he stepped back. She looked at him curiously and listened to his words. She raised her eyebrows, "Oh. You're one of those vamps." She tilted her head to the side and frowned, "You really should have said something before." She tried to smile, "I was going to get a candle out of my bag. We could have had waxy fun". She shook her head, "I really should have gone with that option instead." She pouted and looked down at the ground, "Now I've gone and upset you and you don't want to play anymore. I'm sorry."
Angelus shook his head. He wasn't upset he just was often jumpy like that. He was still having trouble with the transition between Angel and Angelus when his personality switched. He took two steps forward smiling. Bending his head to look her in the eyes.
"I never said you upset me pet...I just do that sometimes. Personal issues. But if you still want to play I'm up for it."
Blaze slowly looked up when she felt him approach. She looked in to his eyes and listened to his words. "Oh, I see. Ok then," and a small smile formed on her lips. She mentally kicked herself. She was starting to sound like a puppy trying to please its master. She scowled at her inner wolf self.
She reached her hand down into her bag that was on her shoulder, never taking her eyes off Angelus' own. She dropped her cross in to her bag and took out two candles. She held one in each hand. She raised each one in turn a little higher as she spoke, "Vanilla or Cinnamon?" and she raised her eyebrows and bit her lower lip. She didn't really care if Angelus wanted to play with the candles, as long as she got to play with him, she didn't care what game they played.
