Like a hell family
Chapter 15: Another found.
Fred was coming back to the hotel, these last days had really sucked....she had had a fight with Wesley and apparently everybody knew as well. So she passed all her days at the library studying on the scroll for Angel Investigation far away of the looks of her friends. She had been surprised to find nobody in the hotel. She took off her jacket and went toward the couch. She threw her jacket on it. She went in the kitchen and took a glass of scotch, bad thing she took since she dated Wes. She sat on the couch made her comfortable and switched on the TV set. She sipped her drink, looking an old white and Black movie...she was tense, she needed to relax everything was going too far. A shadow passed some meters behind her; Fred got her head up her eyes full of fear, she got up and looked around, she stopped staying still. She knew that if she turned back the thing would be behind her, but what else to do. She turned back quickly ready for fight anything that could be..nothing....She was surprised, it's crazy, the fact that nothing was behind her was surprising that was the world turned upside down.
- "Evening!"
Fred gave a jump and turned back again. Lilah was standing in the lobby. Fred swallowed, Lilah had always impressed Fred. But now she was nothing more than a vampire like Fred had already fought and killed. Lilah approached.
- "Little whore!" she said sharply "How, can we choose something like you instead of somebody like me?"
- "Well, maybe cause you're a little dead" Fred said delicately.
- "yes, like you in two minutes" Lilah approached more.
Fred rushed behind the couch, like if that was useful. Suddenly Connor entered. Fred looked him with hope but she saw nothing in Connor's eyes that really comforted her. Lilah stared at him and smiled that freaked Fred out. Connor went next Lilah and went toward Fred. He looked her envious. Suddenly Lilah cried. Connor turned back. He saw her falling in dust and Wesley standing at her place a stake in one hand. Connor was impassive, looking Wesley his eyes full of hate. He didn't care about Lilah but he really hated Wesley...
- "Connor!?" Fred said not daring approach him.
Connor suddenly seemed to be attracted by something else. He faced Fred and for the big surprise of Wes he rushed toward her. Fred put her arms in front of her face and screamed but Connor passed next to her and ran outside by the back door. The front door opened violently and Angel entered. He looked at Wesley then Fred who looked really disorientate.
- "Where is he?!" Angel asked Wes quick.
Wes showed with his finger the back door by which Connor just leaved. Angel rushed. Everybody enter after Angel. Gunn and Spike rushed after Angel. The girls (and Lorne :D) sat on the couch, Dawn still in Buffy's arms. Wesley approached of them. Fred looked him grateful. Wesley looked her like if she was the most beautiful thing on earth. She smiled he smiled back, Cordelia sighed that caught back Wes on earth.
- "Ok, what's going on? What's wrong with Connor? I mean what's the new problem with Connor? Why are you dressed like that?" he asked looking Buffy and Cordy.
- "Connor doesn't have his soul anymore, he's evil, or kindda, Ethan Rayne is dead. We have to find Connor's soul, that is probably in another dimension so we need a controller and the other guy for put back the soul in place" summarized Cordy for Wes but for her too.
Wes looked her like if she had fallen of the sky.
- "Come on, English cake, I gonna explain to you" Lorne said "Well, what I understood" they went in the office.
The minutes passed....Buffy got up.
- "Then, we have to go back in the warehouse find the second guy, and bring him here. I go call Giles, he has to come and Xander too like that Dawn you go back in Sunnydale" Dawn looked Buffy disappointed and sulked in the bottom of the couch "but first I need to change, Dawn we go at daddy's"
Dawn had totally forgotten her dad, now he must have been really scared, well done!
Cordelia got up.
- "Me too"

Some two and thirty hours later....
Fred and Wes were sat at the counter searching in books everything related to soul extraction and their restoration. Buffy, Faith and Cordelia were out for bring back the demon guy who worked with Ethan Rayne. Spike, Gunn and Angel enter in the room with a tired and disappointed look. Lorne got up of the couch.
- "You didn't find him, huh?" He asked more like a sentence. Angel sighed.
- "The sun gonna raise" he said upset.
- "Did he hurt somebody?" Wes asked.
Angel looked him frowning.
- "No"
- "Well, that's good" Wesley said quickly seeing Angel's face.
- "I and Gunn are going to continue researches and you wait for Giles" Wes added going towards the weapon closet. He opened and took two tranquilizer guns. He threw one to Gunn.
- "What?! Now?!" Gunn said catching awkwardly the gun.
- "Be careful" Angel whispered.
- "Yeah, that's sure, if that kid has my butt we could say that my life would have been ironic" Gunn and Wesley leaved the hotel.
- "Where's Buffy?" Spike asked.
- "The girls are in the warehouse"
Angel looked worriedly the door.
- "So then, you gonna explain this son story" Spike asked Angel.
Angel turned back looking Spike with a look like -I can't believe it's you ask me that-
- "Well, I slept with Darla, she came back pregnant, she killed herself for give birth and Connor had been kidnapped, he grew up and he came back, done."
- "Oh" made Spike "Well, it's not that that really interests me, but, how Darla came back? And who kidnapped the kid?"
- "If you want we have some notes about that" Lorne said. Spike nodded and they went in the office.
Angel went next Fred at the counter; Fred gave him a book without got up her head of hers.
______________________________________
Wes wondered how they gonna find Connor in the big town, except if the kid made a bad thing and attract the crowd they had any chance to find him and apparently he had opted for the discretion, that was weird for an evil being, Wes didn't know if the essence that Connor had was vampire, if that was the case Connor didn't control his body anymore but Wes doubted that was that he thought more that was the evil version of his soul, corrupted by his parents nature.
They had walked during hours, took bus and still no tracks, Wesley wondered how Angel doing for always find the child anywhere he could be, well in earth, maybe a father stuff. He was the first vamp being a father so nobody really knew the effect that had on his senses and all his vampires stuff.
- "Maybe I know where he is" Gunn said.
- "Oh, yes"
- "Ya, we go often in patrol together, I know the place where he likes hunt"
- "You think he gonna go during the day, and being evil do you think he gonna still kill vampires" Wes said like if he was talking to a dumb.
- "I don't know, he was wounded, he needs to sleep. If he was in a good state, we would have already heard talking 'bout him now"
- "Wounded? How that? Angel?"
- "No!!" Gunn said, like if Angel could hurt Connor with a knife "a vampire; sometimes ago, stabbed him in the shoulder, he went out the hospital before been kidnapped so he must be weak now, so he gonna find a place for take rest, like a squat he knows"
- "You think he gonna make the mistake to go in a squat he showed to you"
- "Well, he may be evil but he's still Connor"
Wes smiled. It's true that Connor had the speed, the ears and a part of the vampire strength but the instinct was a vampire sense that had totally slipped through the net, the kid had none of it, it's for that he was so credulous and naïve. Gunn and Wes made their way toward the squat. They was hiding the guns but was ready to use it at any moment if necessary.
- "Take the back door" Gunn said approaching of the front door. Wes went.
Gunn advanced in the corridor avoiding the look of the people here and who like vampires hiding of the sun. He approached of someone.
- "Hum....excuse me, did you see a kid, boy, this tall" Gunn said taking up his hand at his shoulder "blue eyes, Connor's the name"
The person said nothing but pointed a door.
- "Thanks" Gunn said hesitantly.
He continued in the corridor and opened the door slowly. He entered.....nothing. Well, since something hit his wrist and made the gun cross the room. Connor jumped front of him, he was really angry and tired. Gunn thought that that was just the hate that made him up on his feet. Connor threw him on Gunn and took quickly the top. That wasn't so much the strength cause looking closer he hadn't that much, Angel arrived to fight him without difficulties, but he was really fluid, Gunn couldn't compete with that, he wasn't a vampire, didn't have the sense for anticipate an attack like Connor had. Gunn just had flown across the room. Connor approached to him and took a knife, he bent and prepared to kill Gunn, Gunn who was really groggy when....
- "Stop!!!" Wes' voice sounded, authoritarian.
Connor got up, Wesley noticed that he had had difficulties for do it, the fight with Gunn must had taken his last strength that was good for Wes. Connor looked him.
- "Ow! Who's here! The al..cool..o guy. Paid attention you could hurt yourself with that, it's not for girls" Connor said pointing the gun and walking slowly in the right for be a less easy target to Wes, apparently Connor knew be too weak for catch Wes before get shot. The thing Wes didn't know was if in a last access of rage the kid would throw himself on him.
- "Don't move!" Wesley said still authoritarian.
- "Yeah, sure! What do you want? You know Wes I think you really need to stop trying to save me cuz everybody know that always finish bad...well like all what you do" Connor continued to move slowly.
Wesley was a good sniper and he was prepared to fill a target.
- "Your father is waiting for you, he gonna be happy to see you" Wes said pointing the gun on Connor.
- "Oh yeah, well, I cant tell you the same about yours" Connor said realizing he was trapped.
- "You look tired you need rest, I gonna help you" Wes shot.
- "You're dreaming!!" Connor suddenly jumped in the side.
Dammit! Where this kid find the strength, maybe the despair. Connor rushed toward Wes and like for Gunn kicked the gun off of Wes' hand. He kicked Wes against the wall, Wes fell sat against the wall.
- "And if that was me who played with your life for change!" Connor said with an angry ton "Whatcha think Uncle Wes!"
He has a very bad ton but Wes didn't notice anything sadist in it, not like a vampire's one, more like an upset and hurt child. Connor was suffocating Wes with his arm on his throat and the old guy began to need air when he heard the click of a gun. Connor released his grab on Wes' throat and gasped. He collapsed softly on Wes' chest and fell asleep. Wesley sighed. He put his arms around Connor, and felt his breath against his chest, his heartbeat was fast but became slower. Connor was trembling a little but Wes' grab made him calm.
- "It's over now" Wes whispered.
- "Yeah, sure, now we gonna be obliged to carry him" Gunn sighed.
