Part 5
"Angel," her voice was quiet as she sat up in the dark room, the sheet falling off her body as she scanned the dark corners for him.
"He is not here, mon petit," came a thick voice from beside her in the bed, "He left some time ago, in fact."
"How long," she said dully, her senses numb.
"Years."
"Liar," she said automatically, letting the sheets fall completely from her nude body as she walked over to the lighted candles and blew them out, "He was here earlier today."
The moon sighed and came behind the Slayer, wrapping her arms tightly around the other girl's waist, "Things . things are not always as we would have them seen. Sometimes . people are like that too."
Buffy pulled out of the warm circle of the woman's arms, biting her lower lip to keep from crying, her Hazel eyes blazing, "Don't you think I know that! Don't you think after seeing everyone turn away from me, having Him betray me, that I wouldn't know that! I'm not some stupid little schoolgirl."
"Then don't act like it."
Buffy turned away, crossing her arms over her chest as the tears began to fall. "It's just that . I thought . maybe this time, y'know? I used to love him so much."
"Used to," the moon said smiling, her long back hair covering her breasts as her arms encircled Buffy again, tugging her back to the bed, "There's something I have to show you, and there's not much time. The sun will be up soon."
"What is it, " she said, letting the moon's hair glide across her bare skin.
"Lie down and close your eyes," Buffy complied easily, laying against the cool sheets, letting the Moon trail cool kisses up her body, towards her mouth, "Trust me." Placing her mouth over the Slayer's the Moon, rubbed her hands over the girl's body as they began to glow softly with a pale light.
