Time and Time Again Part 3

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That night, Angel waited patiently under the tree where he had met Elizabeth last night. There was a full moon out tonight and it lit up the countryside like a beacon. All today as he slept, he had dreamed about her. She had become his only light in his dark, lonely world. Although he knew nothing could come of this meeting, Angel felt like a somebody again.
Suddenly, from behind him, someone grabbed his shoulders. Angel sun around, meeting eyes with Elizabeth. "Hey you." She said happily.
Angel smiled slightly. Again with the creeping up on me. Angel thought. "Hello Elizabeth." He looked down at her smiling face. Never in his life had he ever seen such a free spirit. He almost wanted to say 'spunky.' Most girls he met were boring, lazy, and dull. Already he could tell that Elizabeth was the complete opposite. She was...interesting.
"Have you been waiting long?" She asked. Walking out from the bushes, the two began walking down a dirt road.
"No, I just got here." Angel turned around to look back at her home. However, the truth was, that Angel had been here since sundown. He stood outside, simply watching her. "Are you sure that your parents won't mind that you're out so late?"
"They won't notice me. Mother thinks I am asleep." Elizabeth said. "Which is fine by me."
Angel stared down at her as they walked. She speaks so informally. he thought. And for the first time, Angel also began feeling something else: love. Never had he met someone he could talk to. Angel felt as though he could sit down with her and tell her anything. "So..." He began, following her pace as they walked along. "How long have you been living here?"
"All my life." She replied. "It's so boring."
Angel turned to look at her. He stopped walking and looked down into her face. Elizabeth stopped walking also and looked straight into his eyes. "Boring? I would think it would be peaceful."
"Well, it is peaceful. Too peaceful. I want some action, some excitement from time to time." Elizabeth said. "I want something new to happen."
"Well, I don't know...it can't be that bad. You never really miss it until it's gone forever, but..." Angel's voice drifted off and he stared down at the ground. "I know that I'd love to find some peace." He added very softly.
Elizabeth took a step towards him. "Wow...that was deep." She said before smiling at him and taking one more step closer to him. They were so close...close enough to kiss. And that's what Elizabeth wanted. She stared at his eyes and then his lips.
"Yeah...well, I tend to have plenty of time to think about things like this." He said softly, staring down at her. Angel was also fighting the same feelings. He lowered his eyes, staring at her. All he wanted to do was capture her lips and kiss her.
Angel began lowering his head, nearing her lips, when suddenly he heard something jump out from behind them. He raised his head, standing at his full height, staring straight into the eyes of another vampire. His face was evilly contorted and his eyes glowed yellow in the dark.
"Ahhh....fresh blood." The vampire hissed.
Elizabeth whirled around, staring at the demon with fear in her eyes. "Angel...." She began, her tone filled with fright.
Angel took two steps in front of Elizabeth, protecting her immediately. "Elizabeth. Go home." He said.
"No!" She said, pulling at his arm. "I'm not leaving you."
The vampire standing only feet away growled at them and began running towards the couple. Angel instantaneously reacted. Pushing Elizabeth out of the way, Angel ran towards the monster. As the vampire threw the first punch, Angel ducked before punching the vampire back. Angel kicked the vampire, but it bent over quickly. As Angel regained his posture, the vampire took the opportunity to punch Angel. He went flying backwards, slamming into a tree.
From several feet away, Elizabeth climbed to her feet after Angel shoved her out of the way. She gasped as she saw Angel get punched. God, he's going to get killed. She thought. I have to do something! But in her mind, she knew there was nothing she could do that wouldn't get her killed also.
As Angel stood up, he broke off an immature branch from the side of the tree. He faced the vampire, staring at him threateningly. His rage was out of control now, and he felt his face shift into that of the true demon inside of him. The vampire's eyes widened in surprise as Angel growled, saying, "That was NOT smart."
Angel rushed at the vampire, knocking him over. The two wrestled on the ground for a few seconds before Angel got into control and shoved the stake into the vampire's dead heart. With a scream, the demon turned to dust and disappeared. Angel stood on his feet, wiping the dust from his black duster.
"Oh God..." Elizabeth started. "Angel...are you all right?"
Angel shook his head, feeling his vampiric features still there. "Elizabeth." He started. He couldn't let her see him like this. His anger still hadn't cooled off so his demonic mask remained. He stood away from her in the darkness to hide his face. "Don't come any closer."
"But Angel...are you hurt?" Elizabeth asked, beginning to walk over to him.
"No..." Angel began. But Elizabeth was already rushing over to him with worry on her expression.
However, when she saw his face, she froze. "Oh God..." she began. "You...you-"
"Elizabeth, it's not what you think...."
"You look just like that man you just killed." She said.
Angel's emotions had finally cooled off and let his features slide back, revealing his handsome face. He saw her flinch and step backwards in surprise. "That wasn't a man." Angel said softly. No...why did she have to find out THIS way? he thought, hanging his head.
"So, it was a...?" Elizabeth started him.
"A...vampire." Angel said guiltily.
"A vampire." Elizabeth stated flatly. "And you?"
"Look, you can trust me." Angel said, avoiding her question. Please...I need you to trust me. he silently begged. "Look...I better get you home. Usually when there's one vampire out, there are more on the way." Angel began walking back towards her house, speechlessly motioning her to follow.
"No...Angel! Tell me what's going on!" Elizabeth said, picking up her skirts and running ahead of him. "I deserve to know."
Angel looked down at her a long time, debating what to say or do. "I guess you do..." But from his left, Angel heard the snarls and growls of 5 other vampires. "But for now...let's just get you safe inside."
Elizabeth saw how urgent he was acting and got the message that they were no longer safe. "All right." She said softly. Almost unconsciously, they grabbed each other's hands, running back towards Elizabeth's parent's cottage.
When they finally reached the front door, Angel no longer heard the vampires near by. He walked Elizabeth up to the door, following her up the steps. "Don't invite anyone you don't know inside." He warned.
Elizabeth nodded, unable to meet his eyes. Angel understood. God, she thinks I'm this horrible monster now. he thought. "Good night." He said, beginning to walk down the steps.
"Are we meeting again tomorrow?" Elizabeth asked, turning back around to face him.
"What?" Angel looked back at her.
"Are we still seeing each other tomorrow?" She asked again.
"Elizabeth..." Angel began. "Are you sure you even want to look at me still?"
"Angel, I...I'd like to sleep on this. Can we talk tomorrow night? Say around...RIGHT after the sun set?" She asked.
Angel looked back at her. "All right. I'll be here." Elizabeth walked inside, closing the door without a second look back, leaving Angel to silently brood throughout the remainder of the night.
