smile at this boy. My mind searching for a reason

as to why I was leaving with who seemed to be an

enemy. I am thankful to have such a mind like mine.

I come up with the best reason possible. I step closer

to him and I smell a hint of fear. Not a lot and not

from him.

"I am taking her to Sunnydale where her Spike is."

I say with a smile that makes me feel sick.

"If you leave with her I'll have to tell the others

about you." he says with a smile unlike my own.

"What are you talking about my son?" I ask him

eyeing him slightly.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. . . Angelus."

My eyes narrow in on him. I wonder how he knows

the truth about who I am. He stands away from me

staring into my eyes. I brace myself and glare at this

arrogant boy.

"How do you know?" I ask him with venom to my words.

"Well we are flesh and blood. Did you think you could

become the beast without my knowing?"

"Well, yes."

"My only thought to you leaving is why did you not harm

the others? Was it so you didn't call attention to your

return?"

"Well aren't we so full of questions today? Why should I tell

you anything. You are nothing to me but something

I would like to take a bite out of. Though I am not allowed

to touch you." I say looking threateningly into his eyes.

"I'm not afraid of you so don't look at me that way.

What do you mean your not allowed to bite me?"

"You know you're delaying my leaving. I have no more time

for your petty questions. Now get out of my way so I

can leave." I growl at him.

"If you leave I tell the others, the others tell

Buffy, Buffy hunts you down, no more you." he says.

"Fine, what do you want from me then?"

"Take me with you. There's no reason for me to be here

really. I'll be quiet and I won't bother you, but I want

to see the girl he fell in love with and I want to see

her gang of pathetic followers." he says to me looking

seriously into my eyes.

Knowing I can't win this battle I give in and let him

come with me. Dru moves a little in the seat and I know

she doesn't like the idea of him coming either. I ignore

the nagging sensation of wanting to drain the life out of

him. To claim back what is rightfully mine in the first

place, because it is my blood that runs through his body.

I stop thinking about killing him when I notice the look

of utter delight on his face. I know that this boy has

a great hate for life. I felt for him. It was as if he

wasn't just my son, it was if he was something greater.

He was in a place like prison for most of his life

and I'm in prison for the rest of mine. Sometimes

I wish that soul boy would kill himself from grief and

release us both.

I hop into my car and look at Dru sitting next to me.

I smile at her then I start the engine. We set off for

Sunndydale and I know its going to be a long couple of

hours with him and her. She doesn't have a soul to worry

about and he feels nothing. As for me, I am not allowed

to enjoy this freedom I have reclaimed.

The only thing I could think of right at that moment was

Buffy and those stupid fucking scoobies. How I loath them,

and yet I am drawn to them. I thought about the way her blood

tasted. Through his lips I got a taste and how strong and

sweet it was. I want more. I needed it. I was going to get

it no matter what.
