A Slayer's Sister A Vamp's Son
By Rachel
Dawn ran into the Summers house. She looked around for her sister. She finally found her in the living room with Willow. Ever since the night Spike came back Willow had been doing better. It'd only been about 48 hours, but she talked and there was emotion in her usually blank stare.
"Buffy!"
"Whoa, Dawn calm down. Take a second to breathe."
The younger girl did so taking a couple of shaky breaths. Then she blurted out, "I think Angel's in trouble."
"What would give you that idea?"
She looked at the ground before answering meekly, "Connor."
"Connor that boy you met the other night?"
"Yeah. He thinks Angel killed his step dad and on the night I met him he mentioned that he-he trapped the vampire that killed his father at the bottom of the ocean. And today he told me Angel was that vamp."
"Okay. I'm going to call Angel Investigations. Um Willow are you okay to let Dawn here with you?"
The former witch nodded as Dawn sat down next to her. Buffy went to the phone in the kitchen and dialed Spike's number.
" 'Ello."
"Spike come down here now. You won't like the reason, but I need your help." She hung up before he could answer her and then dialed Xander's cell phone number.
"Hello?"
"Xander."
"Buffy what is it? Is Willow okay?"
"Yeah Willow's fine, but we have an emergency. Well sort of. Just get here I need your help."
"Right. I'll be right there."
She hung up again and then dialed the number for Angel Investigations. It rang a few times before someone actually answered it.
"Angel investigations, sorry but we're closed due to a recent tragedy. If you leave you name."
"Let me speak to Cordelia now! This is Buffy Summers."
"You're the slayer?"
"Just give the phone to Cordelia."
"Wish I could girl. Unfortunately Cordy's part of our recent tragedy."
"What?!"
"She went missing the same day Angel did."
Buffy banged her head against the wall, too stressed out, "Okay let me talk to Wesly."
"English ain't around."
"Who am I talking to now?"
"Names Gunn."
"Alright Gunn, me and some of my people here are going to go down there to help rescue Angel."
"Wait you know where Angel is?"
"You don't?"
"no Both he and Cordy went out one day and neither came back. Neither did Angel's son."
"A-Angel's son."
"Yeah 'Nother story for 'nother time"
"Y-yeah of course. I'm going to let you go, but expect us to be down there as early as tonight as late as tomorrow noon."
"Alright"
They hung up.
"That was the slayer?" Fred asked.
"Yeah her and her people are going to help us find Angel and Cordy. I think they have an idea on where Angel is."
"Really? That's great!"
Buffy looked at the group. Xander hadn't arrived yet she she's have to start without him. She sighed. This wasn't going to be easy. Plus how was she going to get Spike to help Angel. They hated each other. She also hoped Xander wouldn't go ballistic on Spike when he came in.
"Angel's in trouble." She began.
She saw Spike sigh but continued, "We have reason to believe that he is somewhere at the bottom of the ocean in L.A."
"Peaches found himself at the bottom of the ocean. I have to meet the bloke who did this." Buffy glared at Spike as Xander came in.
"Sorry I'm late I. What's he doing here?!"
Spike stood up ready to defend himself if need be. Not that it would help. He still had the chip. "Xander Spike's here to help. We have to get to L.A now. Xander you take Willow and maybe pick up Anya on your way. Spike, Dawn your coming with me."
"Why does Spike get to go with you? Are you going to ditch Dawn and go." Buffy's glare kept him from finishing the sentence.
He took Willow's hand and led her to the his truck. She climbed in willingly and buckled up. She could tell Xander was pissed at Spike's return. Anyone could tell he hated the vampire.
"What do you have against Spike?"
Xander looked at her startled. Did she just speak? Maybe he imagined it. Then why would he imagine her talking about Spike?
"What?"
"What do you have against Spike?" she repeated.
"What do I have against him? Come on Will that should be easy. He's evil. I mean he tried to kill us, tried to kill Angel. His girlfriend tried to kill us. He kidnapped up, hit me over the head and made Cordy and me break up. Cause if it wasn't for him they would've never found out about us. Then he came back again with Harmony no less, got the gem of Amara tried to kill Buffy. He tried to bite you only he had the chip. I wonder what I have against him."
"Okay so he did all that. For 100 or so Angel killed people. Worse than Spike, because he tortured them. But he began making up for it. And we liked him. Then he turned evil again and tried to kill us all. Tortured us. We forgave him after that. I mean we're going to help him now. Spike's doing the same. He fell in love and is trying to make everything right."
He stared at her not knowing how to reply. She had a point, but he didn't want to admit it. He hated Spike.
She needed him to listen to her. Sure they were nice to her and helped her out. Only she felt like they couldn't forgive her. And if Xander couldn't forgive Spike he could definitely not forgive her.
"He's not in love. It's some sick obsession that he thinks is love because of the chip."
"You forgave me." She said quietly.
"Huh?"
"You forgave me and I not only tried to kill you all, but everyone. I tried to destroy the world, Xander. And Spike never did. In fact if memory serves correctly than he helped us stop what four maybe five apocolypses. He never caused one. If you can forgive me why can't you forgive him?"
"Will with you it was different."
"How!? How was it different?"
"You're a person. Who has feelings, a soul. He's a monster who doesn't have a soul."
"He does."
"What!?"
"He ahs a soul. I can sense it. And don't tell me I'm wrong. This power gives me abilities tat I don't have to use magic for and I sensed a soul on him the moment I laid eyes on him. He has one Xander." "I can't deal with this right now. Let's just go."
With that he pulled out of the drive way, leaving them both to ponder over their conversation in silence.
"Buffy where are we going?" Dawn demanded as they walked down the street.
Her sister was pissed. She might not love Angel anymore, but he was still her friend. And no one messed with her friends. Especially her first love. Plus all the withheld information. Angel having a son. That was too much. Who'd he screw now, Cordelia. And how did he have a son. He was a vampire. And how did he not lose his soul.
"Why so livid, luv? That's like two degrees past pissed."
She sighed, "Did you know Angel had a son?"
"The poof had a son? That's not even possible."
"It was part of a Prophecy." Dawn informed them.
Both stopped and looked at her.
"Connor. He's Angel's son. Don't be mad. He told me just before I came running in. In fact it was why I came running in. He's Angel's son, but he wasn't raised by Angel. He was raised by someone else who was killed and it looked like a vampire bite and he assumed since Angel hated the guy he knew as his father he figured it was Angel."
They stared at her. "We have to find him. Now!" Buffy finally said, as she started off again.
Dawn and Spike looked at each other. Both knowing that when she found him, she'd probably tear him to pieces. They ran after her.
Connor dusted the last vampire out of the group that had attacked them. He had specifically went to this nest looking for a fight. It was stupid of him to tell dawn anything about his life. And it only figures she would be friends with Angel. Wasn't everyone.
He turned to leave when he was grabbed and thrown across the room. He got up in a fighting position. Whoever it was rushed him. Tackled him to the floor and punched him while straddling him. He could tell it was a girl, just not who. She punched him again and he kicked her off. He started toward her, but she kicked him back. She delivered a roundhouse to the side of his head and backed him against the wall. She turned him so his back was facing her and held his arms with one hand and his neck with the other so he couldn't escape.
"You're going to tell me what you did to Angel! Now!"
He rolled his eyes at the wall. Another friend of Angel's. Could he go anywhere without running into them? How could an evil vampire have so many friends?
"I don't have to tell you anything."
"You don't tell me and I will break every bone in your body and leave you for the vamps to feed on. You'd hate that death wouldn't you." She threatened icily.
"Buffy leave him alone!" Dawn yelled as she entered.
Buffy looked at her sister, but didn't loosen her grip. "No Dawn he did this. He's going to help us."
"Help you what?" Connor snarled.
"Rescue Angel. You refuse I drag you along anyway and then carry out my threat afterwards."
"Well I don't have much of a choice to I?
"You're right you don't."
With that she dragged him out of the nest. Spike and Dawn following behind.
A/N: Well, the beginning kinda sucked, but I liked the end. This is longer than the others. And Julz did I make life hard enough for Connor LoL! Thanks to all who've reviewed so far. I appreciate it. Love Rachel! ^_^!
