10. Found

I wake up for the third time in four days in the arms of an Angel, and it feels completely normal, something that I can definitely get used to and spoiled about. Today I make sure I don't wake him as I make my way to the shower. Not that it will do any good, because since Angel is a vampire he can kind of tell those things. Plus he says he gets tingles in his stomach when I am near just like I do with him.

After my shower I go downstairs and close all the curtains in case Angel comes down. I can't have my boyfriend turning to ashes. That would be bad. After that I make myself a bowl of cereal, but Angel's pancakes were better. On second thought, maybe I should have woken him up.

I go outside to get the paper and when I come back inside Angel is sitting at the table with a plate stacked with eggs and bacon. I smile and hug him. Angel lifts up my head and kisses me. I giggle and go to the fridge to get Angel his breakfast. As I put it in the microwave I notice the color is off. Then again what do I know about the color of blood and shrug it off.

We both eat our breakfast in a comfortable silence. Even though I guess Angel's is more of a midnight snack than breakfast.

We finish and I go and get dressed. I look into my closet and laugh. Angel looks at me. I laugh even harder. He follows my eyes and smirks.

"Why did you bring these clothes!" I laugh. In my suitcase is a whole lot of slutty and low cut clothes, stuff that would definitely get me kicked out of school. Plus I don't recognize half of it.

"Well I figured this is what you would have wanted. Am I wrong?"

"Kind of, cause I would never wear any of this to school," I argue.

"Well I think all of this suits you," Angel winks.

I laugh, "It does, I just can't wear it to school."

"Fine," Angel pouts, "I packed you another suitcase full of other stuff." He goes into the guestroom and brings back a suitcase. I peek inside and sigh in relief. This stuff I can wear to school.

"Sorry baby but I just don't want other guys but you to see me," I say.

"Good," Angel growls. I giggle. He is really funny when he is jealous.

"Angel do I have to go to school," I whine.

"Sadly yes. An education is important and I'm sleeping all day anyway so I would be no good to you."

"Fine, I guess I have to go then?" I sigh and kiss him. He kisses me back. So much déjà vu of this from yesterday morning. Guess we have a daily routine. The thought makes my heart flutter.

I get up, wave goodbye and walk to school.

I get to school just in time for first period and decide to actually go to class and ditch Giles. Today should have been my last day of an excused absence from him, but I can't stand the thought of going back in there and listening to his stuffy britishness. At least I can sleep during the class.

Or so I thought. As I sit down I am handed a test. Apparently I have a test on The Scourge of Europe. "You can take it tomorrow after you read the chapter," my teacher suggests.

"That's okay," I laugh. "My report is on him."

"And you started it?"

"No, I finished it," I reply with a smirk before starting my test.

And let me tell you, it is the easiest test in the history of tests. After I got used to the point of views that the test is on, humans not supernatural, I fly through it. I mean come on name some of his famous Valentine's Day surprises. Easy pinning dogs to doors. What other serial killers has he worked with? William the Bloody. What was the first recorded town he destroyed? Galway, Ireland. The only one I had trouble with was how he continued killing for a hundred years. But eventually I figured out that it was because he handed down his name to fellow killers, such a lie. I am dating the one and only Scourge of Europe. Well an ensouled version, but still.

After my test Oz comes up to me, I pick up my pace to escape him, but he catches up.

"Hey Buffy."

"Hey Oz."

"We've all missed you lately," he bluntly tells me. And I know he is telling the truth. Oz doesn't share his feelings a lot, but when he does, he means business.

"Well I just have a lot on my plate right now," I fake sigh. Yeah they are on my plate. Luckily he believes me and walks the opposite direction.

Phew, at least out of all of my "friends" it was Oz who I talked to. Oz just lets you live life without asking questions. Plus he knows me the least and I can easily lie to him. Actually maybe it would have been easier to talk to Cordelia or Ms. Calendar. Then I could get "upset" at her and attack her. I really hate that woman.

I figure one class is enough for one day and decide to go hang out in the library. I walk in and Giles is missing. I see a note on his desk that says he is in town with Kendra. Who talks like that?

Whatever, I have some much needed time to myself.

I reach into my purse and grab my ipod and randomly dance to the music. In a few minutes I am calmed down from having a run in with Oz and feel pretty normal again. Well not normal, normal, but non-wanting-to-kill-people kind of normal.

My phone starts to buzz and I see that it's Angel, I smile and answer, "Hey baby."

"Hey, just checking on you."

"I'm great. But that's not what I hear in your voice. What's up?"

"Well I won't be home when you get back from school. As it turns out there's a demon that needs slaying. Only the blood of a vampire can kill it, so" Angel explains.

"Well that's okay," I tell him, "I'll just see you later."

"Ok, well I got to go. Bye lover." Then he hangs up.

"Well that was a bit rude," I say to nobody in particular. Then it hits me, has he been acting like this for the past few days? And have I actually liked it?

"What's happening to me?" I whimper. Because something is really wrong with me.

I start to look through books for any reference to this demon Angel is talking about. Even though I hate research it's worth a few minutes of torture to know if Angel is telling the truth or not.

I open one book and hear a whisper around me telling me to turn the page; I do and find some writing in some old demon language. Only it is not one that I recognize. How strange that I would have to open this page. Maybe it's some new slayer power, seems I have been getting a lot of those lately.

I need Giles. Only Giles isn't here he's out with Kendra! God I hate that girl I just want to kill her.

In that moment I forget all my worry about Angel and how Oz just made an effort to talk to me. I am pissed and need my Angel.

I look back down at the book and stuff it into my backpack.

Giles picks that moment to walk in and looks surprised to see me. "Buffy what are you doing here," he asks.

"Planning a new evil scheme you Buffy imposter," Kendra suggests.

"Takes one to know one," I sneer. I send an energy punch at her and then put my head down. Giles looks at me with sympathy for Kendra verbally abused me first. It's not my fault I have a new uncontrollable power. Kendra looks at me and I smile so Giles doesn't see. Then I weep so that Giles comes and comforts me. Maybe I should be an actress.

Kendra gets up and exits the library. Giles follows her. Guess that shows where his loyalties lie. I was going to spare him since he is my fatherly figure, but I guess he must be destroyed too. Wait destroy? What the hell am I talking about?

The rest of the gang, Cordy, Willow, Xander, and Oz come in around lunch. I show them the soft vulnerable side of me. Or I pretend. Every one of them believes me. Maybe now they will stay off my back.

After lunch I leave the building to find my Angel.
