Buffy climbed out her bedroom window and jumped to the ground. She headed straight to the graveyard, the park had been very quiet lately.

Buffy knew she was being followed as any good Slayer would, she sped up her pace jumped over the graveyard wall hoping to fool her follower, she rounded a crypt and quickly flattened herself on its wall, a few seconds later a dark figure came round the corner.

'Angel?' buffy said confused

'Hey' said Angel

Buffy was confused

'Angel why were you following me, if you want to talk just say so, don't go all stalker'

Angel frowned at her and gave her a look just as confused as hers

'I wasn't following you Buffy, I've been waiting at the graveyard for ages'

'But..' then a figure moving quickly through the trees away from buffy and Angel grabbed her attention.

'There' she said pointing for Angels benefit.

She took off and heard Angels feet close behind her.

She ran through the trees where the figure had been moments before, twigs whipped her face, but she kept going.

The person or thing that was ahead of her was fast she could see it quickly disappearing into the night.

After another minute or so she heard Angel give up the chase and soon after she did as well.

She walked back to Angel panting, he however seemed to be fine

'Why'd you give up?' she asked accusingly

'Buffy admit it, that thing had us both beat, whatever it is didn't attack you anyway'

Buffy was shocked, she knew Angel was right about it having them beat, she hadn't been anywhere near catching up, but his flippant comment about the creature not attacking her..

'So what Angel, I just let it get away without a fight' Buffy snapped 'It was running for a reason'

'Buffy' Angel spoke to her in a patronising voice, like she was a child ' I was just trying to say that not everything is evil'

Buffy frowned, 'You're quick to defend a person, no a creature you don't even know'

She said her voice rising.

'Buffy I don't want to fight with you I'm just saying if there's no danger be grateful, don't go looking for it'

Angel said softly

'Angel I'm meant to go looking for it, that's my job or did you forget that I'm the slayer, oh yes the fact that I don't enjoy doing this must of slipped you mind'

Buffy said sarcastically

 Angel sighed

'I'll talk to you later' he said and turned to walk away

'Angel' Buffy called softly

He turned back to her for a second

'see you soon' Buffy said

It was more of a question than a farewell comment

He nodded and gave her a small smile before he walked off.
