Chap 10
"Wait!" Angel's voice was quiet and husky.
Buffy paused and winced. Blood oozed out of the open wound, dribbling down her side. "You're a demon of the night Angel, I can't let you live." Her voice was just as quiet as his.
"I'm not a demon." Angel realised how stupid it sounded.
"Have you looked in the mirror recently?" Buffy reached forward and smoothed a finger along his bumps.
"I no this is a demon -" Angel morphed back into his human form. "But this isn't." His eyes pleaded with the slayer.
"You kill people and drink their blood!" Buffy began to protest.
"No. I have a soul." His words hung heavy in the air. Buffy knew what he meant but couldn't seem to get it to register.
"A soul?" Buffy was baffled.
"Yes. Every person that I have ever killed I've paid for. I pay for it with my life, everyday, every minute, every second. I no longer drink human blood, but pigs, and I fight for the good side Buffy." Angel prayed she'd understand.
Buffy loosened her grip and allowed the stake to roll out of her hands. "How can I trust you, you've already lied to me about this."
"Look deep inside Buff, I love you, isn't that enough?" He held a stare with her.
She stood from above him and made her way out of the cemetery. Every step was painful as more and more blood poured from the wound, her head felt light and dizzy, nausea began to flow over her body.
"Buffy!" Angel called after her, knowing that she was in terrible pain.
"Get away from me." She whispered, concentrating her energy on healing her wounds.
"You need help." Angel ran up beside her and placed an arm around her waist, helping her to walk. Buffy didn't have the energy to fight back so allowed the vampire to help her back to Giles..
Giles opened the door with a smile. It soon faded. There he saw Angel, a pleading look in his eyes. He didn't even have to say anything. Giles looked down at the weak Buffy he held in his arms, scarlet blood stained both their clothing.
"Xander!" Giles called into the living room, instructing him to take Buffy off the unknown stranger.
Angel stood at the doorway watching the commotion inside, Willow grabbed bandages and Giles began to apply first aid to the young slayer.
"Why is he stood at the doorway?" Willow whispered to Buffy as she tried to comfort her friend.
"Don't know." Buffy lied, hiding the facts that Angel was a vampire.
Willow frowned
"Shh." Giles hushed the slayer up, eager for her to rest and heal her body.
Willow turned back to the door, curious that the man hadn't stepped in. She peered out into the darkness but he was gone.
Angel arrived back at the mansion, his head in turmoil. What should he do? The girl he couldn't stop thinking about was the slayer. THE SLAYER. He was a vampire; it could never work out even if they tried. Since when had anyone heard of a vampire and a slayer together, fighting side by side and in love?
That was if she was in love. She hadn't said anything back, maybe she didn't love him. He sighed, a thing he knew he didn't have to do but it always offered him comfort.
His thoughts reflected back to the day he had met her. Both unaware of the others secret, she was just an innocent in his eyes. He liked those moments, now everything was suddenly so complicated. He felt better for telling her his secret yet he knew nothing would ever be the same. Or would it?
Angel used to think of love as a useless waste of mans time, for someone to have the chance of breaking others hearts. No one could be truly happy, no one could ever be truly in love.
Now it was different. He was now a sucker for love, one who walked around in a daze, unable to get the beautiful woman out of his head. But now he had ruined it. Now it was over. And all he could do was brood.
