AN: Angelus takes his new Childe home.
The Choice: Chapter 10
It was an hour before sunrise when they arrived at Angelus' lair. William felt weak but Angelus assured him it was because he was so young and soon enough he would be strong enough to last day and night.
"Darla, I have a surprise for you!"
From the shadows a blonde woman emerged. She had a frightening grin on her face that turned into a warm smile when she looked at Angelus.
"Have you brought me food?"
"No baby, I brought you a Grandchilde."
It was meant to make the vampiress happy, but she wasn't. in fact, she was furious at Angelus.
"Are you abandoning me? He is beautiful, I admit, but he is nothing more than a minion. How much blood did you give him? Am I suddenly not good anymore?"
"Of course you are! You know I'll never leave you! But aren't I entitled to have a Childe, which I educate as you have me?"
"You had Druscilla."
"She wasn't a capable vampre, she couldn't take care of herself. William here will make us all proud." He said with a smile towards his Childe.
Darla seemed to think about it and nodded.
"Yes, you are right. I'd rather have you to myself but as long as I don't have to share you with a human. . ."
"A human?! Darla, you can be hilarious sometimes, my love."
He looked at the silent figure in the doorway.
"Come William, so you can rest."
The older vampire took his Childe to a comfortable bed and let him lay down.
"Sleep. Tomorrow the world will be at your feet."
*** William proved to be a cruel vampire, with a strength that matched Angelus' and a clever mind. It was so he began to rebel against the man who treated him as his pupil.
He went to a ball, alone and in secrecy. Angelus and Darla didn't like crowds and certainly not when the gathering was held in well-lit halls. William had no problem with it and defied his sire. He was on a mission.
"Janey."
His sister startled when she heard his voice but then threw her arms around his neck. He lifter her up and slowly walked to a secluded spot in the room.
"Where have you been? We were all worried sick about you!"
"Here and there, I had a few things to settle."
"Was it because of Laura? It must have been awful. At first they thought you had killed her and her mother, but there was evidence that another man was behind it. the same that had threatened Laura and Vincent."
"I woke up and didn't know where I was. When I saw. . . Laura lying there I just ran."
"Poor thing. . ; you are safe now."
When she hugged him again he broke her neck. He hastily made his way back to the lair where an angry Angelus was waiting for him.
"What the hell do you think you were doing?"
"Killing my sister. I can assure myself of my heritage this way. I let a lawyer take care of it when my mother happens to die." He grinned.
"You are not to go out in public again, certainly not alone."
"And why the hell not!"
"The Slayer is in town you disobedient Childe!"
"Who?"
He had never heard of the Slayer before and it was a word that slightly scared him but also excited him for a new battle.
"In every generation a Slayer is born. One girl with the abilities and skills to kill vampires."
"A girl?! Come on now, Angelus, don't tell me you're scared of a girl! Tell me who she is and I will kill her for you."
In a flash he was pressed against the wall, a strong hand at his throat .
"If you do that, it wil lbe the stupidest and last thing you do. I am still your sire and order you to stay inside."
William clasped a hand on the wrist of the older vampire and pulled himself free.
"No!"
They fought and every time Angelus was surprised about the abilities of his Childe. More often than not William could not explain where he had learned a certain move and called it intuition. Angelus knew that someday William would be his equeal or maybe even more. But for the moment he was still the strongest.
William crashed into a table, Angelus landing on top of him. Angelus bit his neck but drank only a mouthful, just to remind him. He kissed the other vampire deeply to let him taste his own blood.
"You are young and eager, Will. Maybe one day you'll meet the Slayer. For now I am your sire and I know what's best."
William smiled and licked the blood of a cut on his sires cheek;
"Yes, Angelus."
