together
Spike looked at me eye to eye. Never in his life had he ever been that
brave. Not unless he had had to much to drink that night and then
he'd get a beating each time. I can't trace any form of fear in his
presance, not a trace of panic or worry. Something wasn't right.
For a moment I thought Buffy might have been able to keep up with us.
As if reading my mind Spike spoke,"She isn't coming. She's gone back
home. She's begun to plan." He said this so cold and heartless it made
me think his soul was no more, even though I could feel it. I was
still connected to this creature.
"So what made you follow us?" I ask and I watch as Dru walks, or in
her own way, dances towards him.
"Well Sire, I had nothing better to do with my bloody evening."
"Don't be smart with me boy. I will beat the hell out of you like I
used to."
"No you won't. I don't think your souled self would like it very much
if Buffy had to kill you now would he. Are you enjoying your freedom
Angelus?" he asked with a touch of laughter in his voice, but the
laughter couldn't replace the coldness to him.
"Whats wrong with you boy?"
"Do you think I don't know how your here? I have a soul to and guess
what, I can get rid of it too. Just yours is stronger than mine.
He won't let you play that often. I get let out every other week.
And the soul overrided the chip. I get to pick one human a month and
suck the life out of that person. Its like heaven on earth all over
again." he said laughing.
"You lie. You cannot." I spit at him and he laughs. Dru stands behind
him and she nods at me. She knows he can and she knows her Spike and
her daddy are both back for a little while.
"Come Angelus, come play with me and my Dru." he said as he wrapped
his arms around Dru and kissed her like he used to. She melted against
his embrace and I saw her truly happy again. Something that is unusual
for vampires in this age.
"What about the little vampire? The one who does not drink. Does
he get to play too or does he wish to kill us like the others in this
town?" Dru asked Spike, Spike looked at me and I stared at Conner.
"Well boy, what do we do with you?" I asked him.
"Nothing, my senses are tingling, I'm going to go explore the world
that is now surrounding me."
"Then go, but come back here when your done."
"Yes father."
With that he was gone. I swept Dru off her feet and spun her around.
I put her back on the ground and Spike grabbed her. We left the house.
Finally, the world was our playground and we had no limits.
