Hello All :) So... I keep on getting these none stop ideas for different stories it's hard to keep up. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing them. I will update the other stories soon, but in the mean time here's another little story.

I, of course, don't own any of the characters.

And just a little note to better understand this story... the words in Italics are Angelus thoughts, the words in *Italics* are Angel's thoughts, Ok? Hope that makes sense.

In Angel, Angelus is released to try and get some intel on The Beast and when he is released by the evil Cordelia, his first thought is to satisfy one of his deepest inner cravings… the slayer, his slayer, his true mate.

Two Can Play That Game

Phone Rings.

"Hello?" answered Dawn

"Dawn? It's Angel, is your sister home?" Angelus asked, deviled grin on his lips.

"Angel!" she shrieked with a cheery smile, "No I think she's out patrolling… oh wait…

I think that's her getting home, let me go get her."

"NO! Don't… I… uh… wanna surprise her…" he finished softer.

"Oh? … Ok… well then… I uh… have to go, hope to see ya soon. Bye." She finished in a rush.

Angelus smiled to himself as he hanged up the phone and considered in his mind all of the things that he wanted to do to her. Angel always suppressed his desires to have her, to take her, to make her his, and it was something he could not stand. Having to watch just from above the surface without being able to act was his biggest torment, but that was not the case now. He was freed, and he fully intended to take advantage of that.

He thought, how you like what I'm thinking Soul Boy… images of him torturing Buffy, taking his time, delighting himself in hurting her slowly taking pleasure in it. Once he finally had enough; then he imagined himself taking her to sate the need of her body, sating his thirst of her taunting blood… this, all but filled his thoughts.

Angel winced refusing to see the images Angelus was displaying for him to see… *I swear that if you so much as touch her…* he growled his threat in his mind for Angelus to feel.

You're gonna do what? Kill me? Angelus returned to him in his mind in a wicked laugh. Unfortunately for you, Champion, sarcasm filled his tone, you are stuck in our head without any power, just like you had me trapped for all these centuries and all I could do was try and torment you with the desires you refused to act on.

*I don't have the desires you have, the blood lust, need for pain, and torment is all you are. Can't blame you, though I guess, that is all that you are capable of as a Demon of not a very intelligent nature.* Angel smirked his thoughts.

Angelus laughed out loud. Think you can try and play mind games with me Oh Righteousness One? Nice try. I'm better at it than you are. You should be happy; I am going to let you watch while I take from you what you deprive US of. Angelus finished... thoughts filled with determination.

Buffy walked into the kitchen, "Who was that?" asked heading for the fridge for refreshment.

"Um… no one… wrong number I think." Dawn answered uncomfortably.

"Wrong number, huh? Why do I get the feeling that you're lying to me?" she asked facing herr.

"I'm not lying… Ang…elica from…school said that she called me on accident, that's why, um wrong number." She avoided Buffy.

"Uh Huh… Angelica…" Buffy raised her eyebrow waiting for the truth. "Wait a minute, Angelica? Angel…" she breathed. "Did Angel call?"

"No?" Dawn's expression contradicted her words. "Ok… yes, but he asked me not to say anything, something about surprising you. Wow I suck at lying."

"Surprise me, that doesn't sound like him. I'm gonna call Angel Investigations, something must be up."

"But he said…" Dawn began to argue.

"No Dawn, something's off about that, give me that phone." She walked towards her.

"Ugh… fine…"

"Angel Investigations, how can I help you?" Fred answered a hint of nervousness in her tone..

"Is Angel there?" Buffy questioned.

"Um well… Yes… he's, may I ask whose calling?"

"Tell him it's Buffy, and it's urgent."

Buffy could hear the young woman whisper to someone who was on the phone, next thing she heard was the phone being banged around in commotion.

"B… Buffy? How… Why are you… How can I help you?" Wesley cleared his throat nervously.

"I need to speak to Angel, he called the house and spoke to Dawn, told her not to tell me it was him. I wanna know what is up with him, he's not the surprise kind of guy."

"He called your house?" He asked surprised.

"Yes, he…" she paused, "Wesley, I'm gonna ask you a question and I want a straight answer, what's going on?"

He began to doubt whether he should tell her what was really happening but he figured since he had made contact with them he might as well, "We um… we have been dealing with some evil entity called The Beast, we haven't been able to find any information on him, but he seemed to know Angelus, though Angel, had no memory of it so… we uh… extracted his soul."

Buffy felt a pang in her chest, like someone had grabbed at her heart and was squeezing slowly from the inside, knot in her throat… she was finally able to speak, "How could you be so stupid?"

"Buffy we had no choice… but, I can assure you… we have the situation under control, I promise."

Something like rage combined with fear filled her, "Sure you do, is that why he escaped and he's calling my house to find out if I'm home? Or did you go all patriotic on me and gave him a phone call."

"We didn't… How did you know he esc…?"

She interrupted, "Its Angelus, I know how he thinks, and if he called then you let him escape."

"We've been tracking him; we're getting close to finding him, we…"

"No need, his coming here, if he's not here already. I'll deal with it…" She hung up upset.

Angelus was her worst nightmare; he unfortunately wore the face of the man she loved, the only person that she was vulnerable with, and though she knew that she'd make the right choice in the end if it came to that, the thought of facing him again really brought out fear in her.

I'd love to hear you thoughts on this story, so please review :)
