CHAPTER 4
When they had finally managed to calm an extremely confused Buffy down, Cordy explained what happened in L.A She's not just confused, she's hurt, angry, upset, and she feels betrayed. She moved on but expected him not to. Stupid bint thought Spike, Conner was now fast asleep in his arms, as Spike sat on the couch, to his left was Dawn, wearing his jacket. To Spike's right was Fred, who reminded Spike of an older, sexier Dawn, not that Dawn isn't sexy, Dawn is very sexy thought Spike.
"So how do you have a physic link with Darla ? asked Giles.
"I had a physic link with Darla because we used to drink each other so much."
"I thought Darla was Angel's girl." Said Buffy.
"No, Darla was Angel's girl when Angel was there, when he wasn't she was mine, it was the same with Dru and Angel"
"So when Angel wasn't there Darla moved onto you, and when you weren't there Dru moved onto Angel ?" asked Dawn, fascinated.
"Nope, poor old Spike got the leftovers. When Angel wasn't there Dru was mine, same with Darla, but as soon as soul boy showed up I was all forgotten."
"What do you mean, soul-boy ? When Angelus was with you he didn't have a soul." Said Buffy eager to point out his mistakes, hoping that Dawn would leave him alone, she didn't like competition.
"Wasn't he ?"
"What do you mean ?" asked Cordy.
"Do you really think that Angelus with his brand spanking new soul instantly turned into the Angel you know now ?"
"I don't understand." Said Buffy.
"Example : China, Boxer Rebellion, I'd just killed my first slayer, I was on a high, mainly due to her blood. Dru was so proud of me, but as soon as Angelus showed up, I was forgotten."
Dawn couldn't help but say "That's horrible."
"What do you mean when Angelus showed up ?" asked Buffy she was shocked that Angel would still hang around with them.
"He claimed that he was the same Angelus, but he wasn't the Angelus I knew and loved.."
"Loved ?" asked Dawn.
"Long story, the Angelus I knew would love to drain babies, rape the women, blah blah blah, yet this Angelus only drank from the dead or criminals. Dru still loved him."
"Is that why you hate him ?" asked Xander.
"Something like that." Said Spike shifting uncomfortably. Fred's heart jumped, he'd moved closer to her.
"Tell me about the whole smelling my lying thing." Asked Cordy " I mean do I smell ?"
"Vampire's have great senses of smell, we can smell when someone's lying, when their afraid, we can even smell if their bleeding."
"Cool." Said Dawn.
"We can hear blood pumping around people's bodies, we can tell when someone's heart beats faster, or whether it beats at all, we can tell when someone's blushing even if we can't see their face."
"So right now you can hear our blood pumping, our hearts beating, anything else ?" asked Xander
"I can hear the bedside alarm clock in Rupert's room ticking, the fridge humming and the wind rustling in the leaves outside."
"Wow." Said Anya. "How do you manage to get by ?"
"You learn to ignore it, oh yeah mute doesn't work, vamps can still hear every word"
"What on t.v ?" asked Xander
"Yep."
"What do you mean you can tell when someone is afraid ?" asked Gunn
"You can smell it, and it makes the blood taste so much sweeter."
"Is anyone here afraid ?" asked Gunn, glancing at Cordy
"Yep."
"I'm going out for some blood." As Spike handed Conner to Fred their hands touched, Fred liked this contact with the blonde vampire.
"You want your jacket ?" asked Dawn
"Na, keep it til I get back.". Buffy glared at Dawn, her eyes shooting pure envy.
"Why the sudden need for blood ?" asked Buffy.
"I've just been reminded about why vampires and humans can never co-exist, we're predators, your pray, I had almost managed to block out the sounds of your blood as it beats around each of your bodies, but now I can hear it all, part of me wants to drain you all, part of me doesn't. I can't be in the same room until I have fed."
Lorne eventually spoke, he had been watching as this vampire as it interacted with these humans, especially the slayer, his mortal enemy.
"You forgot one thing. Vampires can tell if someone is turned on." Spike's eyes connected with Dawns for a millisecond. Crap ! He knows ! thought Dawn.
"No I didn't, I just didn't mention it." Spike walked out humming the same tune as Buffy had been earlier, it was now stuck in his head, and Lorne read him, just as he had read Buffy.
