Part Thirteen

Angelus called faith in to his office sitting her down on the chair facing him then handed her some papers.

"You are the only one I can trust in this world faith," Angelus told her looking directly in her eyes.

Faith grinned and though she had finally won him over.

"I want you to organise a meeting slash party for tonight, I will be announcing my new queen to the world," and he smiled at her with that cocky half smile only he could pull off.

"No problem," Faith told him standing up slowly and turned away from him letting the huge grin she was trying to hide spread over her face.

She turned back; "Do I know her?" Faith asked.

"You know her very well," Angelus answered.

He walked round his desk and stood in front of her their mouths Millie meters apart. He leaned forward and placed a kiss on her neck and planted little kisses all the way down her bear arm. When he reached her wrist he licked the area tenderly before savagely biting into her and sucking her blood. Faiths head rolled back in ecstasy as she moaned his name.

Faith had made all the plans for that night and had every one who was important there or if they couldn't make it they were going to view the event by video.

The witch she had hired said that last spell over the room decorating it and manipulating it to the specifications Angelus had asked for. There was no time to do it the ordinary way.

The large ballroom had now gained a stage and the north end and a small balcony one level up with tables and chairs where the human would sit. Table and been planted on the main floor at the front for the important vampires and just chairs scattered around the back for the minions and demons.

Faith had every one settled down in their seats and sat in her own in front of the stage. She was accompanied by Tara who looked the worse for where, she had lost allot of weight and her skin was marred by scars. She sat with her head down not looking in to any bodies eyes. Since Buffy had left Faith had taken her and she had been kept in Faith's quarters since. This was her first time out of the room since Buffy's departure.

Angelus walked out on to the stage and every attendant including the humans cheered but he raised his arms and they stooped at his will. He stood tall behind the podium looking out into the crowd.

"I have called for this meeting to make announcement. I am here tonight to introduce to you all the, woman that will be come my queen and rule along side me as my equal. All of you though you would never see the day I took a mate. Since Buffy left I have become even more hard hearted that you used to expect from me. Like the time I staked three female vampires that were mated because I was angry because she left. And when I torched a gang of my minions leaving them seriously scared because I had heard nothing from her. Or when I stopped you from having food for three weeks because I still hadn't heard from her. I do not regret my actions but I just wanted you to remember why all those things had happened."

Angelus grinned, "Now I would like to introduce to you my new Queen," he paused. "Faith could you come up here?" Angelus asked and an audible gasp could be heard through out the crowd.

Faith stalked upon to the stage a smug smile on her lips as she looked down to where Tara was sat with tears streaming down her face.

Angelus placed and hand on her cheek and it moved down slowly until he reached her neck. She smiled at his and he smiled back his hand grasped her neck tightly and her hands moved up to release his grasp. Faith squirmed in his arms and Angelus turned to the crowd. "This is the reason Buffy left," Angelus spoke and the crowd growled.

"She tricked Buffy and now she will pay," Angelus raised his arm holding faith pulling her off the ground he used both his hands to throw her into the crowd of angry vampires and demons. She landed with a thud and they all pounced and the sound of her screaming could be heard clearly above the sound of the vampires growling as the tore at her skin. They took their revenge out on her for all the mistreatment carried out by Angelus on them because of her.

"Stop," Angelus yelled and every body stopped what they were doing but low growling could be heard over the silence. "Bring her to her feet. There's something I think she should see," Angelus finished and Buffy walked on to the stage and every one gasped.

"Don't kill her," Buffy ordered. "That will be my first job as the raining Queen of the vampires.

The shock was soon forgotten and the vampires savaged Faiths body leaving her cut all over.

Buffy walked up to Angelus and pulled him in to a kiss.

Faith had been left to heal for a week and greatly feed before Buffy and Angelus started on her and she leaned just why Angelus was the master of torture techniques and why Buffy had gained the name Queen. They had their fun with her for three days straight before finally having a sharmen capture her demon and have it tortured for all eternity.

They got married using the vampire rituals and ruled the vampire community with and iron fist. They didn't want another to become more powerful than them. So they didn't give the minions the option to take over.

They had crushed the humans in to submission; they now served as slaves and had no freedom. Only Tara was free to roam as she pleased. Her scars were taken away by a witch. Tara hated the fact that Buffy had changed so much and loathed Angelus for just being him. She secretly practised Magic and was becoming very powerful especially with the help of a young girl named Willow whom she had met in a prison camp. All Tara wished for was, her only friend in the world back the way and revenge on Angelus for his crimes against humanity. But Angelus is a very cunning adversary and controlled witches and they could combat her powers but she was getting stronger so who knows one day she could get her wish.

The End
