Ch. 5 What??
If I had a heart beat this would have been the moment mortals
speak of. When they are so startled their heart "stops". I tense
my body and as quick as I could I spin around and snatch the
stake away from Buffy. She stares at me without fear, without any
sort of emotion. She looked empty and alone. So worn out from this
war. At least this was my guess. Spike came towards me but stopped
when Buffy put her hand up. I laughed to myself. This poor lost
creature in love with the Slayer even before he had a soul.
"What do you mean you were waitin for us?" I ask.
"Wesley called us. Cordy and you had sex and Angel wouldn't
go to bed with her even if he wanted to. Hes too afraid he'd
lose his soul. Though that doesn't explain why you're here." she
answered.
"Well, you don't know your Golden boy very well do yah darlin?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm on a leash. I'm not allowed to bring harm to you, your friends,
or his." I say with my teeth clenched tightly together. I had to
restrain myself from ripping her throat out in one bloody mess.
"Oh well, that explaines every thing then now doesn't it?" she said
as she rolled her eyes. I heard Dru growl at her for being a
smartass. Buffy tore her eyes from me and stared at Dru for a moment.
"You haven't died yet?" she asked my childe. Dru looked at her
and smiled.
"No, but you have. You die every time the moon crosses the sky.
Look at the stars around you. You are the brightest, yet you are
beginning to fade with the black hole that surrounds your heart.
Listen to the moon, it talks to you. It sings you its secrets and
you turn off the light to it. Bad, bad little girl." Dru sang in
a odd song. I laughed at it and Spike looked angry.
"What the hell did she just say??" Buffy asked with a slight hint of
anger.
"She said that you are the brightest star in your little world, Spike
is the moon, and the other stars are the Slayer wannabes. She said
that your lost and you igonre all the things that should help you
along the way." I say and she nods.
"Well, life is tough right now and its gotten a little tougher
because now I have to kill you and be rid of the only one who is
almost as strong as I am." she said and I knew that there would
be a fight.
"Darlin I'm not here to fight you. Dru and I have come back for
our Spike. If you don't mind handin him over we'll leave and
be out of your hair." I say to her and I hear Spike growl behind
us. He tried to act tough in front of the Slayer, but I could
feel his fear. I knew what he was thinking. He remembered what it
was like living with me. I knew he rememebered all the times I
beat him and left him to die in the open sunlight. Always she had
to save him though. Dru always snuck down to where he was to save
him.
"Fuck you! I'm not going any where with you three. And why is there
three of you? Who the hell is this kid?" Spike asked with a touch
of panic that dripped from his lips and into my ears. I knew none
of the others could tell that he was mortified at the idea of coming
with Dru and I.
"Why do you care about the boy?" I asked and before he could answer
Buffy spoke again.
"I was wondering who he was too, Angelus. Is he a capture and you
two are playing with him or is he this infamous Conner I heard all
about from Cordy and Wesley?"
I laugh to myself. Thinking how foolish this girl was. How cocky
she thinks she is. The urge came back to me. I wanted to kill
her. To slam her face into the ground and lap up the blood. I ball
my hand into a fist and start to draw back when I relized that
I would be trapped forever if I hit her. I relax my body and look
at her.
"I'm Conner." said the boy from behind me. He took a step closer
to me.
"Ah. So you're the one everyone talks about."
"I guess." he said shrugging her off.
"Hmm. Well, I'd love to stay here and chat with you all but I have
business to do. You cannot have Spike, but you can follow me." she
said and I look at her as if she's lost her mind. "Oh and if you don't
come with me I'll stake you."
We follow her because I didn't feel like dying today and because
Dru was the only one of the Scourge left. I couldn't let her turn
into dust like Darla. Buffy lead us down the ally she had come
from and Anya came out from behind that shadows. She followed
Buffy closely, often looking over her shoulder to see me. I'd
wink at her and she'd make a noise and look ahead again. Spike
followed us making sure we didn't escape.
I let myself fall back a bit to walk next to Dru. She looked at
me and knew what I was thinking. Conner knew too. I waited for the
right moment and we fled. We were gone in the flash of an eye.
I knew Spike would be able ot follow us, but Buffy wouldn't. We run
until we get to my house. My mansion that he used as a hideout
from the sun and people. It was run down now but still my home.
Dru comes in right after me and to my surprise so does Conner. I now
see the boy in a different way. He's not like normal people, in fact
he doesn't seem like a person anymore. To me he is a vampire in
a mortals body.
I sit on the ground and wait. Dru whines and dances a little and
Conner looks puzzled. He doesn't know why we're waiting. Suddenly
Spike rushes in and I jump up and grab him.
"Stupid boy. You should have known you were goin to get captured."
