The Curse Sequel
CHAPTER 26/?
"Riley I know you don't understand all of this" Giles begins
"Your right. I don't. I trusted you guys with information on the Initiative and you didn't trust me with this" Riley says angrily
A knock is heard at the door. Giles gets up and opens it to find Doyle and Cordelia there. "Cordelia" Giles greets surprised
"Giles is he here" Cordelia demands entering "Because if he's not I am going to dust the jerk myself"
""Delia calm down" Doyle says entering behind
"Don't tell me to calm down Doyle. I was supposed to be on a date with a nice normal guy but Angel disappears"
"Glad to see your priorities are straight Cordy" Xander digs
"He's not here Cordy" Buffy says
"Where is he?" Doyle asks
Giles removes his glasses "The Initiative has him"
"Where's Liena?" Cordelia asks looking around "And Liam and Jessa?"
"Spike took her to hunt" Xander answers
"Who are Jessa and Liam?" asks Willow
Cordelia stammers "Uh no one"
"Riley I am sorry I didn't tell you about Angel. There are reasons behind it. Reasons I can't get into. Just trust us when we tell you Angel is good"
"If you take away the vamping thing" Xander mutters
"Xander get over the little jealousy thing" Cordy states
"Who says I'm jealous?" he demands
"Because you get spooked whenever Angel is around." Cordelia snaps
"What do you expect? He has almost killed me and us all. He killed a bunch of people we knew. Then almost sending us all to hell because he was happy for a moment"
"Shut up Xander! It happened. He's apologized for Angelus's actions. He went to Hell for us. And god Xander I was the one who sent him there. But he's saved us numerous times. I owe this to him. You owe this to him." Buffy says angrily "God this whole freaking planet owes Angel for all the times he saved it even after all the things Angelus did. He's paid us back for those acts I think its time we pay him back." She walks out slamming the door behind her.
"Buffy" Riley calls following her outside. He finds her sitting on the edge of the water fountain crying. "Buffy" he says softly crouching before her "Talk to me" he asks
Buffy looks at him her eyes filled with tears. "I am sorry Riley. I wanted to tell you about him but I was afraid. Afraid you wouldn't understand about him about us"
"Did you love him?" Riley asks
"Yes."
"Do you love him still?" he asks uncertain
Buffy stands wrapping her arms around herself she looks at the sky. "Don't ask me that Riley"
"Why not? Its a simple question" he says standing before her. "Are you still in love with him?" not getting an answer he says "Buffy I'm asking as your friend. Are you in love with Angel?"
Buffy looks at him tears running down her face "Yes I love him, I've loved him since we met. We just can't be together."
"Buffy I know you well enough that you don't give up on what you want. You've taught me something important since we met...you taught me to listen to myself. Now I want you to listen to yourself if you feel like you two are meant to be together I'm not going to stand in your way. I want you to be happy. So if being with Angel makes you happy then go for it" He kisses her cheek. "No matter what you decide Buffy I'll always be there for you" he heads inside leaving Buffy outside
Spike and Liena finally come across a group of vampires. Spike goes into vamp mode "Hello mates" he greets
"Who are you" one demands
"The names Spike. This is Kat and well she is a bit hungry." Liena vamps grabbing the closest vampire. Spike keeps the others busy as she drains the vampire.
After draining the vampire she joins the fight. "Spike after this one stakes the others" she says grabbing another draining the second vampire while Spike stakes two and another gets away. Liena notices the vampire is running in Faith's direction. "Faith will take care of him" she says going to his side.
"You OK luv?" he asks caressing her cheek. They stare at each other as their features return to normal.
She nods "I'll feel a lot better when we get him back." she wraps her arms around his neck
"We'll get him back. No one other than me is going to torture Angel pet" he lifts her off the ground kissing her as she chuckles. Unknown to both they are being watched by someone.
Faith notices the person watching them. "Peroxide Boy lets go" she calls
Hearing the urgency in the Slayers voice they look around. "We're being watched Will" Liena states softly
"Lets go then." he replies quietly. She nods and the two run towards Faith. As fast as they can the three run to Giles apartment. Entering Faith closing the door quickly behind them.
"Thank God your OK" Buffy says seeing them
"We need to get out of here" Liena says
"Why?" Giles asks
"Someone saw us in the cemetary." Faith states
"Where are we gonna go?" asks Buffy
"Yeah they know where all of us live" Willow states
"We could go to the mansion" Faith says. "Its big enough to hide out and no one besides us has been there for years."
"No" Buffy shakes her head "Not there"
"Then where?" asks Riley
"There is only one place no one knows about." Spike says looking at Liena
"No I am not putting them in the middle of this" Liena protests
"There is nowhere else. You rented the other house. They don't know about the other one"
Liena nods "All right." she looks at Cordelia "You know where the other house is?"
"Yeah. Angel gave me the address in case of emergencies. Why?"
"Take Willow, Oz, and Xander there. Try to keep from being tailed. We'll meet you there."
Cordelia nods and they head out. Liena looks at Buffy and Giles "Grab anythng you might need for tonight and tomorrow. We won't be able to move until tomorrow night. Spike I need you to go to the house and grab some stuff." she tells him what to grab after kissing her he leaves
"What about patrolling?" Buffy asks
"Tonight Sunnydale can survive on its on. Grab what you need for tonight and tomorrow. Weapons and books" Buffy nods and gets up to help Giles. Riley starts to get up. "Riley I need to talk to you?" Liena requests
Looking at Buffy he nods and sits. "sure"
Liena glances at Faith. Nodding she gets up and follows Buffy and Giles.
Turning to Riley Liena begins, "I know you have no reason to trust me at least until I tell my story. But what I have to tell you is dangerous. I need your promise that you will tell no one"
Riley nods "I promise"
"I was born 247 years ago in Ireland. Angel had already been turned when I was born. He was known as Angelus. After I was born my mother cursed my to live like Angel. Somehow I ended up like this. Moments after I was born a good demon came. He removed all memories from Cassandra's mind about her pregnancy and my birth. Same as the midwife. He took me to another family. They cared for me until they were killed when I was a teenager. I was sent to live with another guardian until I fully reached the end of my mortal life. I didn't die like I would have if I was a vampire. I have been this age since then."
"You said you aren't vampire nor are you human. What are you?"
"Nobody knows. We should get going. When we get to the house I'll tell you more" she stands and calls "Come on" The others join them with bags. "Giles what is all this?"
"Weapons and books. I have research to do" The others shake their heads and each grabs a bag heading out to the car. Liena starts the car. Pulling out of the parking lot she is alert to possible tails.
Spike enters the darkened house. Quickly the vampire heads up to Liena's bedroom closet. Reaching up he lifts a paneling out of the ceiling and pulls out a duffle bag. Opening the bag he checks to see if what Liena wants is there "Damn Kat major weapons" he says noticing four handguns a couple blades with some ammo. Going to her bedside he pulls the drawer out and finds a key. Going over to the wall safe he opens it and taking out the cash Liena told him was there. "I am going to have to remember where the key is" as he leaves the bedroom he grabs the pictures off the mantel shoving them in the back. Next he goes into Liena's study grabbing her laptop and the disks. Last he takes the left over blood packs out of the freezer. Looking around he checks to see if he has everything. Walking to his car he drops the bag in the back seat and pulls out of the driveway.
Chapter 28/?
Liena pulls into the driveway and they enter the house to hear Jessa laughing with Xander. Jessa looks around puzzeled. Liena glances at Buffy and Faith noticing they have the same reaction. "MAMA" she calls rushing to Liena
Liena picks the toddler up "What are you doing up?" she asks kissing the toddler
"Not bedtime"
Liena glances at the clock "Oh right." Liena turns and looks at the Scooby Gang and says "This is Jessa...my daughter."
"She's potential Slayer isn't she?" Buffy asks looking at the toddler
"Yes she is" Liena senses two vampires enter. Looking up she sees Nat and Carver enter wary of the two Slayers. "Nat and Carver are friends of mine"
Liena tells them."Are they like you?" Riley asks
Liena shakes her head "No. Nat and Carver are normal vampires they just chose to avoid killing humans." she puts the toddler down "Jess can you go tell Andrea to bring Liam down for me?" the toddler nods running upstairs. "Nat, Carver I need you two to go patrol in the Slayers place."
"Sure. Any area in particular?" Nat asks
"The Bronze and the cemetary." Faith states
"Greek Row" Buffy adds
The two vampires nod "We'll be back before dawn."
"If you can't then crash at the mansion. Its close enough to the house" Liena states. Nat and Carver nod leaving the house.
"Liena" Andrea says coming down the stairs with the infant. "Here you go." she hands her the baby "You lucked out he's still up" Liam eagerly goes to her
"Hey little man" Liena greets kissing the infants head. "I'd like you to meet my son Liam."
When the baby looks at Buffy she gasps in surprise at the familiar blue eyes "He's Spike's" she says stunned
"Yes he is" Liena acknowledges she sits on the floor with the Scooby Gang. Putting the infant on the floor grinning as the others look stunned
"Oh my GOD" Xander says surprised
Buffy sits down on the couch surprised and then starts laughing. Spike enters the room scowling at the Slayer laughing "Slayer whats so funny"
"You as a father" she bursts out in laughter
Spike scowls as he sits beside Liena kissing the infants head. "I grabbed what you wanted" he tells Liena
"OK I am stuck on the fact that Spike has a kid." Xander says
"Yeah I thought vampires can't have kids" Willow adds
"Normally they can't. Somehow Liena and Spike got around it." Giles says
"You knew?!" exclaims Buffy
"Yes. Liena asked me to not tell anyone" Giles admits
"So how did Angel take it?" Oz asks
"Which part? Me pregnant or Spike the father?"
"Both" asks Xander
"Pretty well. Both of us are still alive."
"Relatively" Xander states
Buffy shakes her head. "I'm surprised he didn't stake Spike"
"Good job Peroxide boy" Faith smirks
Liena listens as the others talk around her as she watches Liam crawl towards Cordelia.
"Hey Liam" Cordy greets pulling the infant to her lap. The baby coos patting her face. "You know I swear you have gotten even cuter since the last time I saw you"
"OK this is scaring me" Xander states "A baby likes Cordy."
Cordelia glares at him "Xander go jump out a window. Of course he likes me. Don't you Liam?" She grins at Liena "You know when he can talk I am going to teach him Xander insults" Liam starts to wiggle away from Cordelia. Cordelia puts the baby on the floor.
Jessa comes barreling down the stairs speaking rapidly in French "Mama can I have a cookie?" she asks excitedly plopping in Liena's lap.
"No Jess you can't have a cookie. Its took close to bed time" Liena answers in English
"She speaks French?!" Willow says surprised
"Yes she was born in the US but after her mother died I took her back to France with me."
The toddler stands up "I want cookie" she says stubbornly crossing her arms
"Jessa I said no cookies" Liena says sternly
Jessa kicks the leg of the coffee table CRACK the wood breaks in half and the table falls over barely missing Willow's leg. "My god she's already strong" Giles states
Liena stands up and picks the toddler up "Jenessa Nicole I said no cookies. Time for bed" she heads to the stairs carrying the toddler who is kicking in protest.
Liam startled by the sound of the table falling starts to cry. Spike picks the infant up and gives him his pacifier. Automatically Liam calms down pulling on his father's hand. They talk for a few minutes when Liena returns.
CHAPTER 27/?
"so how are we going to get Angel out?" Buffy demands
"We're going to have to go in" Liena says. She looks at everyone "Its going to take a lot of work." She looks at Willow "If I can hack into the computer systems for not only the Initiative but for the electrical company. Its going to take to people and Giles hates computers."
"I'll help Willow" Oz offers
Liena nods "I'll get to work on it tonight. Riley I need to know if you are willing to help us?" she asks the soldier. "It could ruin your career."
Riley looks thoughtful at Liena then nods "I'm in"
"Thank you Riley" Buffy says
"Buffy, Faith, Spike, Doyle, Riley and I will go in. Giles, Cordelia, and Xander can be look outs. Since Spike is unable to fight the mortals then why don't you and Doyle grab Angel."
"Uh question" Cordelia raises her hand
"What?" Liena asks
"What about the commandos? I mean they are going to be on the inside with you" she reminds
"I'll take care of getting them out" Liena smirks thoughtfully
"Oh no. Doyle she has that look" Cordelia says horrified "Doyle stop her!"
"'Delia I am staying away from that look." Doyle shakes his head
"I still need to work out some details. There is a gym and rec room in the basement. I've got to work on the plans so go on down. In the closet there are inflatable mattresses, blankets and pillows." she stands taking the baby from Spike "There is some food in the rec room. But if you can't find anything that you want have a go at the kitchen. If you need me I'll be in the study. Its down the hall past the kitchen." she walks towards the stairs.
Spike stands "The basement door is down the hall on first door to the left." He follows Liena up the stairs
Buffy looks at the others "Well lets go on down." they all nod and head to the basement.
Xander is the first one down the stairs "My God" he says looking around. "This place is huge"
The others join him. "She has a full gym." Riley says awed
"A big screen tv with surround sound DVD and VCR" Xander stammers "I think I'm in love"
Doyle heads to the kitchenette opening the fridge he finds beer, soda and juice. Opening cupboards he finds a full liquor bar "She's after my heart" he states with a grin
"Doyle" Cordelia warns
"Check out the computer" Willow says amazed
"Buffy Faith why don't you train for a while" Giles says
Spike enters and watches from the doorway as Liena changes the baby. He listens as she talks to him. "Tomorrow everything will be better." she picks the baby off the changing table she kisses his head. "I hope" she whispers
"It will pet" Spike says softly as he wraps his arms around her waist. He touches the baby's head carefully. "There are reasons for everything to be better." he kisses her neck "Jessa, Liam" he pulls her to the rocking chair sitting he pulls her on his lap "and us"
Liena looks at him "What about us?" she asks
He grins "The possibility of there being us."
Liena kisses him and looking down at the baby she smiles "He's asleep" the two sit there watching the baby sleep. After a while she gets off Spike's lap putting the the baby down she stands there watching him sleep. "Love you little man" she says softly. Spike joins Liena she looks up at him with a smile. Spike lowers his head kissing Liena passionately. Liena turns around meeting his lips with her own. "I need you Will" she says "I need you know." Spike nods closing the door to the nursery he locks the door and turns off the baby monitor.
Spike joins Liena infront of the bay window. The moon light entering the room they stand there staring at each other touching each other carefully tenderly. Slowly they remove each others clothes. They stare at each other silent as their bodies join physically and emotionally. Sitting facing each other on the bench they move together silent their words being said in touch of hands and lips. After climaxing they sit there still joined Liena finally gets the courage to say what she wants "Will?"
"Hmm?" Spike purrs stroking her back
Liena raises her head looking into his bright blue eyes she says "I think I'm falling for you"
"You think? Or you know?" Spike asks stroking her face
"I know" she lays her head back down
"I'm falling for you too" Spike admits. "Peaches isn't going to take to well to this" Spike chuckles
"I hope he's OK" Liena says kissing Spike's chest
****The Initiative HQ****
Angel is lying on his back staring at the ceiling. "God protect my family. Even Spike" he thinks. Shifting he hisses at the pain shooting up his back. He fingers Buffy's ring "I love you Buffy" he thinks with his heart
***The house***
Buffy stops in the middle of training with Faith as her heart feels Angel reaching out to her. Not concentrating she doesn't see Faith's foot until it connects with her middle sending her flying across the room.
"Buffy you OK?" Riley calls worriedly from the couch
"Uh yeah." she calls back she lays there staring at the ceiling
Faith joins her on the floor. "B are you OK?" she asks
Buffy nods "I'll feel better when this is over."
"Come on B...you aren't five by five" Faith states
"I heard him Faith.' she whispers, 'I can feel him' she closes her eyes "Why didn't I feel him earlier?" she questions softly
"Maybe it wasn't time" Faith stands holding her hand out to Buffy "Come on B lets get ready for tomorrow"
Buffy accepts Faith's hand pulling herself up. She thinks with her heart "I love you too my Angel. Be safe we'll be together again"
***Initiative***
Angel grins and closes his eyes as he feels Buffy's response "I love you too my Angel. Be safe we'll be together again"
Spike and Liena relcutantly untangle themselves and stand. Silently the dress Spike finishes first and walks over to the crib he looks down at the sleeping baby "He is so peaceful" he states awed
Liena walks up behind Spike and wraps her arms around his waist resting her chin on his shoulder. "I know. He's been a peaceful sleeper since he was born. The night he was born a group of Tiyrus demons came to the house. He remained calm once I had him. He knew that Angel and Methos would do whatever was necessary to protect us" she kisses his neck "Come on" she takes her hand pulling him out the door. They head downstairs to the study. Liena takes a seat and turns on her laptop. As she is waiting she feels Spike put his hands on her shoulders. Closing her eyes she nuzzles his hand with her cheek. She looks back at the computer when it finishes booting up.
Spike sensing her need to think he kisses her head "I'll be downstairs with the others."
"Will" Liena says quietly when he turns around she grins "Thank you" Spike nods closing the door as he leaves. Liena turns on the stereo as she starts to work.
Spike joins the others in the basement pouring himself a drink he sprawls out on the couch. "Bloody hell Harris what are you watching?"
Xander shrugs "Movie" he glances at Spike "Where is Liena?"
Spike nods his head towards the stairs "Study. She's working"
After an hour Giles tells the Slayers to take a break. The Slayers join the others watching the movie. A few moments later they hear footsteps coming down the stairs. Liena enters with her laptop. She grabs the remote from Xanders hand turning off the movie
"Hey" Xander protests
Liena glares at the teen her eyes flashing amber. She sits infront of Spike placing the laptop on the coffee table. "Riley what sort of security measures are there for emergency exits?"
Riley leans forward "Minimal. Usually watched by camera's with rounds every hour."
Liena nods typing in some orders "Angel is being held in corridor C. One guard, cameras, keypad lock." she frowns after hacking into the security cameras in the Initiative. "He's not in his cell" her stomach knots up. Typing in new orders "here he is" she says triumphantly "Damn" she growls when she notices he's tied to an exam table
"Oh my God" Buffy whispers horrified at the pain and anger in her lover's eyes. She scans over his scultpted body terrified at the sight of the marks on his body. "Angel" she whispers brokenly
"What the hell?!" Liena says shocked as she sees the look in Angel's eyes change. She grips Spike's hand "Look"
"At what pet?" Spike asks leaning closer
"His eyes, Spike." she answers harshly. Quickly she hacks into the sound system
They watch as Walsh enters "Hello Angel" she greets
Angel glares at her coldly "I'm not Angel"
Hearing that Buffy covers her mouth with her hand "No this can't happen" she stammers terrified
"Buffy I'm sure he's not Angelus" Giles comforts
Liena and Spike nod "Slayer the Watcher's right. You can see both Angel and Angelus in his eyes. Its like he's drugged."
"He's right Buffy. I can't feel Angelus totally. Angel it seems is allowing Angelus to appear."
Buffy nods reluctantly "I hope so" she turns her attention to the screen "I hope so"
"Ah then you must be Angelus" Walsh states
He growls "Let me GO!!" he roars his true face showing
"Sorry I can't do that" Walsh states
"If you don't I will rip you to pieces" he smirks "And I'm betting Soulboy would let me" he growls angrily and then slumps. Seconds later he opens his eyes. He looks at the camera almost sensing that Buffy is watching
"Buffy he's fine" Willow says hugging Buffy
"Yep thats our Angel" Cordelia grins "Nobody can look that tortured over getting angry."
Buffy wipes away her tears as she sees that the angry glint in Angel's eyes is replaced by a look of pain and love.
"We'll get him out" Riley says hugging her briefly
Liena and the Slayers hear Spike growl low as Riley hugs Buffy. "OK I never thought I'd see the day Blondie would be jealous." Faith teases
"I'm not" Spike denies hotly
"Then explain why you just growled at Riley when he hugged Buffy?" Xander asks with a smirk
Liena looks up at Spike then answers "Its the sire childe connection"
"Spike despises Angel" states Oz
"I more then despise the poof" Spike snorts in disgust
"Watch it" Liena growls. Turning her attention to the others she continues "Occassionally when a sire has intense feelings the closest childe can emulate the sires emotions"
"So basically Deadboy is jealous and Spike is reacting to it" Xander sums up
Liena nods "Its not always jealousy. I'm betting that Spike is reacting to Angel's intense need to protect' Liena pauses looking for the right word 'to protect his mate' Buffy blushes at the word. "And since Spike is his closest/ favorite childe he can react to Angel's emotions"
Willow looks at Liena confused "But why not you? I mean you are his daughter"
Liena looks at her hands "Somehow I can react to his physical pain not emotional"
"Why?" asks Riley
"Spike is more emotional than most vampires. Since he and Angel are close they pick up on each others emotions."
"I am not emotional" Spike denies
"Be glad you can feel emotions" Liena says smiling up at him
"Huh?" asks Cordelia. "everyone has emotions"
"Not everyone Cordy has emotions" Liena states standing she closes her laptop. "You guys should get some sleep. If you need anything I'll be in the study." She heads to the stairs
Spike watches her leave puzzeled by her reaction he stands " 'Night" he calls following Liena
"OK I am confused" states Xander
"Not surprised" Cordelia says drily
" 'Delia be nice" Doyle states
"Don't start with me you louse" Cordelia remarks
"B you OK?" asks Faith as she notices Buffy's face
Buffy smiles weakly at them "No" she stands grabbing a pillow and blankets she goes to the corner of the room. She curls up thinking of Angel.
Riley stands to go to her when Faith puts her hand on his arm "Finn let her be. She needs this"
"She has for awhile" Willow states sadly
"If she's like this then I wouldn't want to be the one to be around Angel." Cordelia states the others nod in agreement
Spike finds Liena in the study staring into space. "Kat?" he calls softly
Not looking at him she talks her voice flat "I'm not emotional because I don't know what emotions feel like. I can express them' she pauses 'but I don't feel them. I always feel the same no matter what I express.' she looks at Spike her eyes tearful 'the night I left Sunnydale was the first time in a long time that I felt pain and expressed it." tears start to fall "Losing Luca was hard enough" Spike picks her up and carries her to the couch and holds her. "I can't lose my father Will." she cries "I can't."
"You won't Kat" Spike sooths "I promise love" he rocks her
Liena curls closer to Spike. Soon she feels sleepy her cries stop. She closes her eyes listening to Spike purr comfortingly. Yawning she says "Will?"
"Hmm?"
Liena curls closer as whispers "I love you"
Spike is shocked yet pleased kissing her her head he whispers "I love you too" he closes his eyes following her into sleep.
***Initiative***
Angel is removed from the exam table after hours of poking and prodding by the doctors. The commandos drag him back to his cell. Tired and in pain the dark haired vampire curls up on the cot and falls into a restless sleep.
Chapter 28/?
Liena awakens her heart pounding from her dream. She awakes to find herself sprawled across Spike's chest. She looks down at him and smiles at the sleeping vampire lightly she kisses him. Carefully she stands up and goes to her computer. Quietly she she writes a note sticking it on a floppy.
"Guys, I figured the only way that this could be done is if I did it with out telling you. Willow- look at this disk it has everything you will need to get in to the Initiative. Pike can show you where all the weapons and tools are. Spike- kiss the kids for me and don't worry if you guys follow the directions I left everything should turn out fine. ~Liena"
She kisses the vampire on the forehead. "Love you Spike" she whispers quietly she leaves the room and heads to the weapons closet. She grabs a pair of leather pants, a tank top and her combat boots. She pulls her hair back and braids it. Next she straps a sheath with a blade to her ankle. She pulls on her shoulder holster checking to make sure both guns have full clips.
"Here" she hears Pike whisper. "I filled it. Thought you'd need it."
She turns to find him holding a back pack. "Thanks. Did you put in everything?"
"Lock picks, ammo, rope. Are you sure about this?" he asks softly
Liena pulls on her leather jacket and looks at him "You know I do. If I told them they would freak. Pike I'll be fine. This is the only way. Just make sure Spike doesn't do anything stupid." she shoulders the backpack. She grabs her motorcycle keys. "Take care of my babies Pike"
"I will" They hug. "Kick ass for me" Pike orders
"Oh I will" Liena says darkly. "Major ass kicking" she heads to the side of the house to find the motorcycle uncovered. She rolls it out to the road and quickly the starts it and takes off.
"Good Luck" Pike whispers to the fading taillights
A few minutes later Liena parks the bike in the bushes. Carefully she pulls on a knit cap she goes into the cave in search of the secret entrance to the Initiative. She finds the vent entrance and pulls herself up into the vent she closes her eyes allowing her senses to roam. Finally she picks up on the sounds of talking and screaming. "Thats where I want to be" she mutters following the sounds. After about half an hour she reaches the vent that looks into Angel's cell. She smiles at the sight of the sleeping vampire. Not wanting to alert him yet she returns to her search. After a couple minutes she finds Professor Walsh's office. Looking in she finds it empty carefully she unscrews the vent praying that she won't be noticed yet. Pushing the vent open she jumps down and quickly replaces it. Taking a quick look around she heads to the desk chair. Leaning back she puts her feet up on the desk and watches the door.
"Are you sure you looked everywhere for Agent Finn?" Liena hears Walsh ask from down the hall. She listens as they head her way. The footsteps stop infront of the door. "Let me know if you find anything." Liena hears the soldier walk away and Walsh beginning to open the door.
Liena watches as Walsh opens the door her eyes glued to her papers. Liena waits until Walsh closes the door behind her. "Hello Walsh" Liena greets with a smirk
Walsh jumps in surprise dropping her papers. "Agent Pierson" she stammers surprised "what are you doing here?" she demands
Liena looks at her over the gun. "Lets just say I dropped in to say hi"
"Where's Agent Finn?" Walsh demands
"He's safe. For now" Liena says
"Who are you?" Walsh asks
"Nobody." she answers standing up she slowly walks over to Walsh "Someone. Anyone"
"I do not understand" Walsh stammers
"Lets go" Liena states she grabs Walsh's upper arm "We are going to make a little visit to your mini pit of Hell." she digs the gun into Walsh's side. They walk out the door "Hello boys" Liena growls "Walsh and I are going on a little trip."
"Stop Or I will shoot" one of the soldiers calls pointing his gun at her
"Shoot me I shoot Walsh" Liena shrugs "Now we are going to the mini Hell" Liena as they continue to walk towards the pit. Where they encounter more soldiers and the doctors. "Well Walsh I never told you before but this is a big improvement over the last facility I was in."
"You were in a facility?" Walsh states confused
"Walsh we brought..." a soldier trails off as they round the corner with Angel
"Hello Angel" Liena greets
"You" Forest calls as he joins the rest
"What about me?" Liena smirks at Forest
"Professor I saw her last night in the cemetary. She's a hostile." Forest remarks
"No she isn't" Walsh denies looking at Liena confused
"Oh poor Walsh to have such a short memory for someone so young"
"What did you see last night?" Wlash demands
"She's a vampire." Forest tells her
"Let her go" Angel growls angrily
Liena turns and glances at Angel "Stay out of this" she growls her eyes flashing. Looking back at Walsh she allows her vamp face to show. "You still don't remember me?"
Walsh shakes her head "No I don't"
"Twenty years ago. Your first experiment."
It dawns on Walsh "My god your her. You...you should be dead."
"I'm not" Liena replies "Share with the class Walsh"
Walsh looks at Liena "She came back from the dead. She drained two vampires"
"Same in the graveyard" Forest states
Liena growls "You forced me to drain them. But thats not the point."
"How old are you?" asks Walsh "Who is Angelus to you?" Not getting an answer from Liena she says "So Angelus who is she to you?"
More soldiers enter their guns aimed at Liena "God what is with men and guns?" Liena asks amused "You never change" Three men rush her at once Liena quickly fights them off. But more appear suddenly she is hit from behind as she falls to the ground she hears Angel call out her name. Looking up she sees him struggle against his captures trying to get her. She sees Angel break away from them.
"Liena" he calls rushing to her in game face. He grabs one of the soldiers and throws him away snarling angrily. Angel is panicked at the sight of his fallen daughter. "Let her go" he roars throwing the soldiers aside. He kneels beside her "Liena" he says softly quickly checking her over. He smells blood...Liena's blood. When one of the commandos comes closer Angel growls angrily.
"I'm fine" Liena states
"No you aren't little one" he whispers tenderly in Gaelic.
"I'm better now that I know your OK" she says weakly as she passes out
"Liena?" he asks frantically. After a few moments he realizes that she's alive just unconcious. Hands try to pull him away from Liena "No" he growls holding her close
"Angelus they want to check her out" Walsh says
Angel looks up at Walsh his eyes flash "No. She stays with me" holding Liena close he stands he glowers at the soldiers who block his way.
"Who is she to you Angelus?" Walsh asks confused by the vampires protective reaction
Angel looks at Walsh and then down at the girl in his arms carefully he brushes a strand of hair out her face he smiles tenderly. "She's my baby girl" he answers. Angel meets Walsh's gaze and his eyes darken. "I am not letting you near her." he turns to walk back to his cell and is stopped by the soldiers. Angel looks back at Walsh "Tell your boys to let us pass." not getting a response from Walsh Angel says his voice deadly "If they try to take her from me I will kill you. I may not get you all but I will get a lot. And Walsh you will be the first. Now tell your men to let us pass." Seeing the angry glint in Angel's eyes Walsh nods her approval for them to pass. She watches as the dark haired vampire carries Liena down the hall to his cell.
When they reach the cell Angel puts Liena down on the cot. One of the soldiers follows him in. Angel glares at him "Get out"
"Sorry but I am to check her for weapons" he advances towards the cot
"No." Angel growls blocking the soldier's path. "You will not touch her."
"I need to check her for weapons sir" the soldier remarks
"I said do not touch her. I'll get them for you." Angel says
"But sir"
"I said I will give them to you." Angel growls. The soldier nods afraid of angering the vampire. Angel goes to the cot. He removes Liena's holster handing it to the soldier. He removes Liena's jacket handing it to the soldier. Angel then pats down her leg to the ankle sheath pulling up her pant leg he unbuckles the sheath. "here. Now get out" he growls handing the soldier the knife.
"Thank you sir" the soldier says backing out of the room.
Angel lifts up Liena's tank top and finds that the bleeding has stopped. "What are you doing here little one?" he asks kissing her forehead. He slumps to the floor he puts his head on the cot as he holds her hand. Slowly the vampire drifts off to sleep.
