Letting the Bad in with the Good
Part 4
Fred's eyes opened. She was staring up at a blurry ceiling, and she wasn't really too sure where she was. "Fred!" she heard someone call. It was a really familiar voice. "Charles?" Fred whispered. Soon, Gunn's blurry face was close to her's. "God, Fred...Are you OK?" Fred attempted to push herself up, but Gunn wasn't letting her. "Take it slow." He said. Her vision came back into focus and she sat up on the sofa.
Gunn sat right next to her. She looked at him and smiled. Fred didn't know what made her do it, but she hugged Gunn. It was probably relief that made her do it, but she didn't care once Gunn wrapped his strong arms around body. It's actually what she wanted, or what she thought she wanted.
Fred was still shaky about what just happened with Wesley. Speaking of which... "Charles, how did you know to come here?" Gunn pulled back a little. "Me and Lorne got a tip. The force hit Wolfram & Hart. It got Lilah and we figured she'd head for Angel," he explained as he played with her hair. "I told Lorne that I would check it out. Then I found..." Fred looked away from him. She couldn't bear to see the hurt in his eyes.
Despite how much she didn't want to look at Gunn and his sad eyes, she lifted her head. "I'm sorry. I was so scared that he had been hurt, and then he wasn't," Fred said slowly. "I am so sorry. I tried to stop, but...I couldn't pull away." Tears began to slide down her cheek. Gunn hugged her again. "It's OK. I'm not gonna let Wesley hurt you. OK?"
Fred wanted to say how Wesley would never do that. How it was strange that he was that forceful, but she couldn't. Physically, her body wasn't letting her talk. "I'm so glad you saved me, Charles." Well, she could talk, but that was not what Fred wanted to say, especially in that seductive tone that came out of her mouth.
Fred pulled away, but she didn't really want to. Then, she grabbed Gunn's face with her hand and brought him closer to her. As his lips touched her's, Fred realized she didn't want to do this. Well, she really did want to do this, but it was something she never ever would do.
A light bulb was suddenly lit in her head. She didn't tell her body to grab Gunn and pull him closer. She didn't want to kiss him now, but it was something she dreamed about doing. The force was controlling her. It was making her kiss Gunn, and he didn't even know it. Oh, God, she thought wildly. When the force takes all of my energy, it'll go to Gunn. She had to do something, get him away from her.
Fred fought against her body, trying to push away from Gunn, but it didn't work. She moaned into his mouth, but he took it as a sign to move their kiss a step up. He had moved himself closer and Fred's body laid down, allowing Gunn to move himself on top of her. Fred tried with every fiber of her being to stop this but she found that her energy was being drained.
She had to figure out how to warn Gunn before she had no more energy left to tell him. She tried not use too much energy thinking when the answer came to Fred, she wasn't happy about it and didn't accept it at first, but then she realized it was the only way. If Fred's theory was correct, she would have to go through with her desire, and then the force should...Well she wasn't sure what it would do, but it should do something.
The way things were moving between her and Gunn, she knew what this force thought her desire was. Fred just wasn't sure if she could go through with it without trying to fight. Fred wasn't ready for that, and Gunn knew that. So why wasn't he stopping? Fred knew that she was not ready to do this, but then she thought about Gunn ending up like her, and since Wesley was acting strange, he must have been under the force's influence as well. Fred didn't want her or Gunn ending up completely drained of their energy.
She had no choice. If she didn't try and stop this force, no one might be able to. Just as Fred decided to give up completely, Gunn pulled away. "Maybe we're moving a little too fast, Fred." He said. Fred looked into his eyes. There was so much concern there; she wished she could tell him how she felt now. "We may never have a chance again, Charles." The force made her say.
"Listen, I'm feeling so much right now, too. Being in this situation can do that to people," Gunn started. "But, I know how you felt before. How scared you are and I can't take advantage of you. You've been through too much tonight to make a decision this big." If she could, Fred would have cried. Her exterior wasn't giving up so easily.
"Are you saying that you don't want me?" Fred's voice said. Her bottom lip quivered and her eyes began to tear. "Am I not good enough for you, Charles?" Gunn placed his fingers on her lips and shook his head. "You're perfect." He whispered. Fred grabbed his hand and they stared at each other for a little. Inside, Fred felt weaker since Gunn had pulled away.
It's because you've been thinking about how much you want to tell him things, she thought to herself. "Then show me how you feel." Gunn reluctantly gave in. Even though Fred knew this wasn't herself, Gunn's kisses still felt amazing. It was almost kind of easy to let him...make love to her. As things kept progressing, Fred reminded herself that this was to save them all: Cordelia, Wesley, Connor, even Angel and Lorne. It was also to save Gunn, especially Charles.
