Aries: Chapter 2
"How could you?" she shot back.
"That's the other thing that makes me different."
"You can read minds? Are you a demon?" Willow asked.
"No, I'm human, but I'm a powerful witch like you and Tara."
"Well love, what's your name?" Spike asked.
"Well love… my name is Aries, like the Greek god of war," Aries replied with the same English accent as Spike.
"Aries what, love?"
"Aries Sythax, love!" She grinned as she mocked Spike's English accent. "I need a place to stay until I can get my own place." Aries said questioningly.
Automatically Buffy said, "Sorry, I don't have room!"
"She can stay with me. I have room. Ooof…"
Buffy punched Riley in the gut as he finished his sentence. It was obvious that Buffy didn't want Aries around, especially around with her boyfriend.
"Aries, like I said, you can stay with me!" Riley said, glaring at Buffy and flat out defying her.
"Meeting's over. Come on Aries, I'll show you to my place."
"Thanks! Bye everyone, especially you, Spike!"
And with that said, Riley took Aries by the waist, leading her out the door to his place- leaving the gang stunned, Buffy pissed, and Spike love struck yet jealous.
When the two of them reached his place, the first thing he did was start saying he was sorry.
"Sorry, you are probably not used to this."
"You're right, in a way. This is kind of better than what I had in my old town."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll tell you later. Let me shower first."
"Sure."
Riley led Aries to the bathroom and let her take a shower. Aries seemed to stay in the shower forever. She was thinking about her past and if she should tell it to Riley or even anyone. She finally decided she would tell Riley, since for now, he was her roommate. Then she might tell Spike.
To be continued…
