CHAPTER 6
"Conner needs some air." Said Fred as she walked outside with him.
"That's okay." Said Giles. "As long as Gunn goes with you." The entire gang watched from the window as Fred, Conner and Gunn wandered around the fountain. Dawn felt a tap on her shoulder, it was Buffy, Dawn looked at her. Her eyes were red and puffy, and her cheeks were still wet. "You okay ?"
"Nothing changes, he's still a soulless vampire."
"They all know" said Dawn, God ! Her sister was soooo stupid, could she see that Spike was good ?
Fred walked around the fountain with Conner in her arms. Gunn followed behind, stun gun in his right hand, crossbow in his left and a stake in his pocket.
Spike was walking back to Gile's apartment, he had thought about heading straight to his crypt but decided against it. As he was nearing Gile's apartment, something felt off. Then Spike realized: Angelus was here. He began running towards the apartment complex, his bag of blood still in his hand, out of his pocket he pulled a stun gun that he'd swiped earlier.
Gunn felt something move behind him, maybe it was the wind; but then he heard it, a growl. As Gunn's unconscious body hit the ground Fred began to run to the apartment, "HELP !" She was unarmed and alone. Wesley came running out of the apartment armed with a crossbow and a stun gun.
"What is it with you lot and stun guns ?" growled Angelus, "I mean that's just pathetic." He spat on Gunn's body.
"Shut up poofter." It was Cordilla, armed with a sharpened baseball bat.
"Hey bitch, you were so predictable, I mean Sunnydale ? How obvious is that ?"
Lorne came out holding a cross "Stay away from her!" his horns had turned a dark purple, Lorne was pissed.
"Hey horny. How's your singing, still as bad as ever ? And mentioning horny, where's the slayer ? I sure could use a shag."
"I'm right here." Buffy was out holding a crossbow.
"Have you improved since the last time, because you were really crap." Fred ran inside, Conner still in her arms.
"Aghh.!!!" Angelus clutched at his eyes. Dawn had her super soaker filled with holy water.
"Shut up !" Behind her were Xander and Anya, both holding crosses.
"I kill you for that you bitch !" he ran at Dawn. Crap thought Dawn. This is it, I'm going to die.
Suddenly Angelus was lifted off his feet and thrown against a wall, "Hey Peaches. Going to kill nibblet are you ?"
"Spike !" said Dawn, relived.
"Hey Nibblet, miss me ?" Angelus began to get up, Spike walked towards him,
"Your going to regret that William."
"Is that a fact ? Liam" Angelus threw a punch, Spike dodged it and smashed his elbow into Angel's face. Angelus brought his foot up into Spike's groin, Spike fell to the ground in pain, Angelus stamped on his head. The vampire turned towards Dawn, "I'd rather screw you than the slayer." There was a crackle of electricity and the vampire fell to the floor, standing over him was Spike, holding a stun gun. Angelus began to moan, Spike shocked him again, and then he picked him up in a fireman's lift. "Cordy get the chains and cuffs to the bathroom." Spike walked into the house, Angel slung over his shoulder, he walked past Buffy and straight up the stairs, Cordilla handed a bunch of chains, padlocks and handcuffs to Spike. Buffy waited until Spike had closed the bathroom door and she turned to the rest of them
"Nobody mention his soul" she spat the last word out with hatred.
"Buffy..."
"Dawn !"
"Sorry Buffy" said Dawn meekly. Spike walked out of the bathroom and down the stairs, "He's cuffed and chained." He walked past Buffy and stood in front of Dawn, he raised a hand to her cheek, "You okay ?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine."
Spike walked over to Fred, "How's Conner ?" Buffy glanced briefly at Dawn, who was wiping her eyes.
Buffy mouthed "You alright ?", Dawn nodded. Conner was now in Spike's arms and was being rocked up and down slowly.
"Shhh, Shhh it's okay now." Spike whispered, he handed Conner to Cordy who took out his bottle.
"Guess he's hungry." She said. Spike said nothing as he walked up the stairs and opened the bathroom door.
"Argh !" was all that Buffy heard, they all ran up the stairs and into the bathroom, Angel was chained up and Spike was squirting him with water from the shower head. Dawn glared at Angel who glanced at her, he then said a few words in vampiric, to which Spike answered, also in the demon language, Angel looked at Dawn, he then glanced at Spike, and then he suddenly developed an interest in his shoes, Spike continued talking in vampiric to him, whatever he was saying it was upsetting Angel. Spike then gave Angel one more soaking, and he unchained and unlock the handcuffs, Angel needed Spike's help getting out of the bath, Angel walked up to Dawn and was about to open his mouth when Dawn slapped him.
"I deserved that." He said.
"Yes you did." Said Spike before both vampires walked out, continuing to speak to each other in vampiric.
Before Angel had even dried out Gunn, Wesley, Cordy and Fred were standing at the door, all the weapons and chains packed up, except a stun gun that was held behind Gunn's back, as a precaution.
"Fred, I'm not going to kill my baby." Said Angel as he moved towards Fred
"You might."
He turned to Buffy, " I guess I should explain how this happened."
"No need," said Cordy "Spike guessed and got it all right, they all know now." Angel looked once more at Spike, uttered a few words in vampiric and walked out.
Fred and Wesley were the last to leave, Wesley turned to Giles, "I suggest you uninvited Angel."
"I will." Said Giles.
Fred looked at Spike, "I guess Conner is related to you huh ? I mean you and Angel are
family, isn't he your grand sire ?"
"Nope," said Spike, "Dru drank me, so she's my sire, but it was Angel whose blood I drank,
yet I've always know him as 'grand'sire."
"Next time your in L.A drop by, you could be Uncle Spike" said Fred, before walking out.
As Spike was walking out he said "I haven't eaten all day." Then he disappeared into the night. He's an evil monster, Lorne had no idea what he was talking about. Thought Buffy, she glanced at Dawn who was staring out after Spike, How can Buffy to love him, he's not an evil monster, Lorne new exactly what he was talking about. Though Dawn, she saw Buffy looking at her, they made eye contact, they both knew who the other was thinking about.
L.A - Angel Investigations
Angel was standing over Conner's crib, he was thinking about Spike, from what Cordy and Fred had said, Conner seemed to like Spike and Spike seemed to like Conner. Maybe when Spike was in town he could come see Conner. Angel thought about what Spike had said in the bathroom, I hope it isn't true, for her sake.
"Conner needs some air." Said Fred as she walked outside with him.
"That's okay." Said Giles. "As long as Gunn goes with you." The entire gang watched from the window as Fred, Conner and Gunn wandered around the fountain. Dawn felt a tap on her shoulder, it was Buffy, Dawn looked at her. Her eyes were red and puffy, and her cheeks were still wet. "You okay ?"
