Chapter 25. Nailed Puppies

Angelus and I woke up around noon. One perk of being immortal is that I don't need as much sleep as I did before. He stares down at me and I lean in for a passionate kiss and after getting one I start to crawl down to his groin and put my head between his legs. To my dismay Angelus pushes me away and walks out of the room without even putting clothes on, giving me a nice view.

He returns with two teenagers who are gagged and thrashing around, "Here you go Buff."

I raise an eyebrow at him, "You stopped me from giving you a blow job for these worthless pieces of meat? And here I thought sex was the number one thing on your perverted mind."

"You need to feed," he simply states.

"But I'm hungry for you, not blood," I whisper seductively. "Well maybe your blood."

His chest shakes in laughter, "Buffy I turned you not even a day ago. I know you know what fledglings are like."

His words bounce around inside my head, he does have a point. "Guess it just shows how powerful I am."

"Or it's because I sired you," he points out.

I scoff and bite his chest. He groans. Just as we're about to get into it my phone buzzes. "Ignore it," he urges and starts to do interesting things with his tongue to distract me.

As much as I wish I could do just that, it might be a Scooby. I open my phone, "Hello."

"Buffy?"

"Who else would I be Will?" I laugh and put it on speaker.

"I don't know," she stutters.

Angelus starts going at it harder and I groan, "Stop it," I laugh.

"What?" Willow questions.

Internally sighing I raise my hand and Angelus is suddenly frozen in time. Satisfied, I move him over to my side. "Nothing, just keep going."

"We're all at Giles. Can you please come over?"

"Willow I thought I told you guys I needed sleep," I whine.

"For me?" she begs.

I sigh, "Fine, let me shower and get dressed. I'll be there in a half an hour."

"Thanks Buffy,"

"Anything I can do to help," I tell her and hang up. Waving my hand I unfreeze Angel. "Well there goes our day."

"This could be fun," Angelus says. "Gives us time to toy with them. And did you just freeze me?"

"True, and yeah I did" I concede. "Although it's probably about Kendra. I guess we can make this work. Do you think I can be around them without eating them. It wouldn't be any fun to eat them without torturing them."

"You'll be fine. Just remember to breath, which isn't a problem since you need to talk. May I join you in the shower?"

"Of course," I moan and lick my lips seductively. He grabs me and runs to the shower. The water is hot and before I know it he has me screaming his name. Growling, I sink my fangs into his neck and he moans as I suck a bit of his blood.

Once the water turns cold, well a little after it turns cold, we walk out and I go into my closet. "Angelus," I call.

"Yeah," he responds and walks up to me in black slacks and a black silk shirt.

"You look better in leather pants and red shirts," I frown. "Albeit it would give us away. Does this look suspicious?"

I feel him giving me a once over. As a joke a twirl around and my dark jeans hug my ass well. For a shirt I just through on a simple tank top with a sweat jacket over it.

"Very innocent, now let's go."

However as soon as we step outside of our room I remember the teenagers. They don't even smell appetizing and I make a fist, instantly turning them to dust before we continue.

As soon as we step into the main hall we both glance at each other. There's only one ring of Amara and two of us. Angelus wants me to wear it, since he's going to need a blanket anyway to keep up pretenses. Personally I think he should wear it. A voice whispers in my head and I step into the harmful sunrays.

Angelus gasps and I tilt my head, "What?"

"You're not on fire."

I look at my hands, he's right, I am not burning. "Guess it's you who wears the ring then."

He starts to laugh and we head towards Giles' apartment. The sun tickles a lot, but it doesn't burn me the entire time. Guess another perk of being me. Walking down the streets the sun becomes a lot more tolerable. By the time we reach our destination it doesn't faze me at all. Hell if it weren't for the enhanced powers and senses and the still heart I would think I was human. Hopefully I can fool the scoobies though.

I knock on Giles' door and Angelus quickly puts the blanket over his head and as soon as the door cracks I grab the ring off of his finger and he starts to smoke. He runs into the apartment as quickly as he can before discarding the sheet and using it to put out the flames.

"Hey y'all," I wave.

"Why's he here?" Xander snorts.

"Cause I thought this would be important if you woke me up after the long day we had yesterday. He was staying at my place anyway."

Point for me as everyone but Cordelia flinch at the hidden message in that, "Oh come on," Cordy sighs. "They had sex after almost dying big fucking deal!"

"Um so onto more precedent issues," Giles says as he cleans his glasses only is at a loss for words.

Angelus takes the opportunity to talk, "Giles I just wanted to say I understand your pain from what happened. Over time I've lost a lot of people too. And Willow, Buffy told me what happened and I am so sorry I mentioned him yesterday. But sans a soul I was on the giving end of that and might be able to help."

Willow sobs a bit and nods as does Giles, although my new sixth sense allows me to poke into their minds and see that there is a lot more underneath the surface than what they are both showing. I nod at Angelus and he smirks at me while everyone else looks down in sorrow.

"Back on topic," Giles says. "Have any of you seen Kendra after last night? The council has contacted me and said that her slayer force has simply disappeared; all they see is Buffy's. Wasn't she with you two," he asks us.

"We chased down Spike after we left here like we promised."

"But we couldn't find him," Angelus continues. "Why do you sound surprised. Kendra told us she was going to come here and tell you before crashing at wherever she's staying."

"She never came," he answers gravely.

"Oh now," Willow cries. "She's okay right?"

"Willow Spike or some other nasty obviously killed her," Cordelia points out.

"Then why isn't the new slayer called?" Xander asks.

"Xander has a point," Angelus reasons and everyone including Xander stare at him in shock. "I've been around longer than you guys have and have studied the council in great detail. The new slayer is called as soon as the old one dies. And if they can't find the new essence of the slayer out in the newly chosen then she isn't dead."

"Angel is right, the council knows immediately after a slayer is called. Angel do you know if Spike knows any magicks or anyone who could perform a powerful cloaking spell."

He shakes his head, "Spike couldn't pull it off, but there are a lot of demons in town that are under his command."

Giles nods as Willow's phone rings she picks it up and starts to break down the second she gets the call. With all the tension and emotions in the room I don't have to pretend to breathe, I want to breathe so that I can soak up all of the lovely emotions running through everyone.

She hangs up, "That was the police," she stutters. "Oz is dead."

We all look at her mortified, even Angelus and I exchange a glance, and this was a pleasant turn of events. "Apparently he stabbed himself in the heart with a stake," she cries. "They would have suspected foul play except he left a note explaining how after what he did to me he was a demon and had to remedy the world of what was inside of him."

"And we sure it's legit and not Spike?" Xander voices.

She nods and explains how apparently he did it in public where everyone could see, more than likely so that we would know he actually committed suicide. After the newest turn of events Angelus nods to signal the next part of our plan should be put into action.

Everything around me, including people start to hover and spin around the room. I scream and cry for the show and Angelus kisses me softy whispering dirty things in my ear that everyone else would suspect are words to sooth me. It takes all my energy to remember not to smirk or moan as he presses up against me to show how his words are affecting him too. With everyone else spinning and Angelus facing me to "calm me down" I take the opportunity to grind against his hard groin and kiss him on the neck, nibbling at him in my human face.

As he kisses me I realize that we aren't going to be able to stop. The fear and sadness in the air is intoxicating along with the way Angelus is kissing me and the act we are putting on. Unable to be the one to pull away I remove my hand from his hair and snap my fingers so that everyone freezes. Having people watching, even if they don't realize this time adds to the moment.

Without them being able to see I vamp out and this time as I kiss his neck I bite down and he screams my name. He gives my neck the same treatment and afterwards brings me up for a ravishing kiss. As we kiss I can taste my blood and I know he can taste mine. Needing something I think about it and suddenly we are both standing their naked.

To make this more horrible for Giles we move over and lie on his kitchen table. Without a moment's notice Angelus and I start to touch every inch of each other and along with the sensations we bring each other and the aroma and air around us it doesn't last too long. For after a few minutes we both bite each other once again and that was the end of it.

With Angelus still licking my chest I feel that this isn't over and drop to my knees where this time I suck some blood from his member. Making him feel pain with pleasure along with the two different tastes in my mouth makes me feel so much without even a touch.

Not wanting to push our luck with the frozen audience I snap my fingers to put our clothes back on and get back in the position we were in before, without the sexual part, and I put everyone back on the ground.

I start to cry, "I'm so sorry, I thought I had this under control…but it's just that everyone keeps dying."

"Or your like bipolar or something," Cordelia suggests and we all glare at her. Angelus and I both push down the urge to growl at her.

"Buffy I feel I need to contact the council of this, maybe it has to do with why Kendra has disappeared or your recent death."

"Will it help me?" I whimper.

"Maybe, but not necessarily," he admits.

"Do it, as long as there's the slightest possibility that it will help."

He nods, "Giles may I take Buffy back to her house? She seems distraught and after the day everyone's had I think she needs a break," Angelus asks.

I shake my head enthusiastically, "Hell no, I need to find Kendra. I may hate her, but she's not going to die because of me. Plus we need to think about Spike and Willow needs me. Please Angel, I cannot just let everyone die, I mean I'm the slayer and all and it wouldn't be right and don't make me go back there yet. I need to be here, I mean what if I got mad and Mom walked in the door seeing everything?"

"Buffy," Xander interrupts me. "You're babbling which means you need to get some rest. We all don't need a cranky Buffy. Cordelia and I can help Willow and Spike can wait until later as can Kendra. We don't know what the hell even happened to her. We need you focused and ready or not at all."

I nod hesitantly, "Fine, but tonight you cannot stop me from patrolling and looking for that bleach blonde buggering douche."

Everyone nods and Giles dismisses us. Angelus puts the sheet over his head as I take the ring out of my pocket and as soon as the door closes behind us he slips on the ring. Far enough away from being caught Angelus grabs me possessively and starts to ravish my neck.

I push him off before I let out a moan, knowing then neither of us would stop, "Not that I'm not loving the love here, but we are a little public. I'm not up to anything that kinky."

He chuckles. "Sorry, but damn lover you looked so delicious in there pretending to be human. And you didn't even attack once."

"Well," I smirk. "I can't say their blood didn't smell good, but I knew it would be better if I waited until the right moment when my plan unfolds."

"And that is why you're mine," he whispers huskily.

Again I have to stop him from going too far in public, even though almost nobody is near us and his hand massaging my chest and his hips gyrating against me feels so good. "Speaking of plans I read their minds. Xander and Cordy are taking Wills to her place. I think the house is in need of some, um new guests."

He raises one eyebrow, "Of what variety?"

"The dead kind of course," I giggle. "And I mean dead, not undead. I don't want anyone else dead yet, not until the grand finale, which is all planned out in my head by the way. Anyway I was thinking we could wrap Oz up all nicely and leave him there for the redhead."

And that was exactly what we did. Once our plan was set we rushed to the morgue and stole the body. Then quickly before Willow could arrive home we delivered him. Afterwards I concentrated hard and we both became invisible; apparently another cool power I had developed.

Willow was walking next to Xander with Cordelia next to him. All three looked upset and Willow was still red and sobbing. We laugh quietly so we wouldn't be heard. As they open the door we sneak in behind them and as they walk upstairs to willow's bedroom they all scream.

Nailed to her door is the dead Oz. Looking over to the writing next to him, in his blood, they scream even more. We had written I make Kendra scream in pleasure, so it would look like Spike had done it. Laughing we run out of the house and become visible again.

"That was brilliant Buffy," Angelus tells me.

"You were my inspiration," I blush. "I was reading old watcher diaries and read how you hung puppies to doors and figured this was basically the same thing saying Oz was a werewolf and all."

He chuckles again as we walk hand in hand down the street. A few minutes later we arrive at out mansion. I sniff and frown, I wasn't expecting Spike, especially in the middle of the day.

We walk into the foyer and he's right there waiting for us, "You two haven't seen Dru have you? She's gone missing."

I turn towards Angelus and he sighs, "Spike I know you felt it I did too."

"It cannot be true."

"I hope it isn't, but," he trails off.

"What," I ask feigning confusion.

Angelus looks at me, "When a sire or a childe is killed you feel it. That's why I screamed in pain last night."

"It was Giles," I tell them both. "He told me this morning when I went to a Scooby meeting."

"How'd you get there luv, saying as you seem to be missing a pulse."

I inconspicuously grab the ring off of Angelus' finger, "This."

He growls, "They will die. Hell the entire world will go with them to pay for staking Drusilla. I recently found a portal to Hell and the book on how to open it. Are you two with me?"

"Yes," we say together, knowing once Spike is killed we can continue our plan. Guess I'm the powers bitch once again, but this time I knew would be the last.
