Chapter 39
McKenna Manor
Angelus was walking outside in the gardens, with Jonathan behind him.
"They have the other piece of the spear. I'm sure of it." said Angelus.
"How do you know that's what they were after?" asked Jonathan.
"Because you idiot, what else would they be looking for. Amy said something about a vampire before she died. This vampire has to be connected to Elizabeth somehow. They were there the day Amy teleported to me, I'm sure of it. And they know I have that piece. That's why they were looking in my room. They must have thought it there, but that's not what troubles me the most. What troubles me is how did Elizabeth got into my room?" he stopped and looked at Jonathan.
"All of the entrances are guarded at all times my Lord. There is no way she could have gotten in." Said Jonathan.
"Yet she did. No, it was as though she came through the.." Angelus stopped and looked up at his room. He ran into the house and up the stairs to the room. He walked to the area that Elizabeth had been standing the night before. He tore the curtain down from the windows to allow more light in. As he examined the wall he noticed a faint seam going up the wall. He followed it and saw that it was a door.
"Well, well Elizabeth. So it seems you do indeed walk through walls." upon further exploration he found an indentation in the bottom corner of the same wall and kicked at it with his boot. The wall slightly opened, and as he pushed further he saw it was a passageway. Taking a candle that had been lying on the floor, he lit it and walked into the passage.
He followed the tunnel down. Along the way he realized that there were several extensions to it, yet he kept his back against the wall and followed the downward incline. When he reached the bottom ha felt for another opening and pushed through. He was now outside.
He laughed as he ran back up the tunnel he had just come through. As he walked into every room in the Manor he saw that they all had the same access. He then walked down to his parlor and sat down in a large leather chair.
The manor had been built by Elizabeth's grandfather, thus he concluded that since the Summer's home was also built by him that it too held secrets within the walls as this one did. The house had been vacant since Willow had acquired it. He thought that Elizabeth was most probably living with her former teacher Rupert Giles. He would need to investigate this further, but for now he would wait. They would expect him to retaliate somehow for breaching his fortress, but he would wait. He was patient and soon he would have that other piece. Very soon.
Summers Manor
Elizabeth and Spike had finished placing flowers on Andrews grave. Spike had spent the day putting grass on the dirt and making it look neat and tidy.
"I was thinkin' maybe he would want a headstone."
"Why don't you ask Xander if he would make one for him? He is quite handy with the masonry, believe it or not." He took her hand and kissed her palm. They walked to the stables and mounted their horses and rode back to Giles' home.
McKenna Manor
Jonathan closed the book he had been studying. He smiled and blew the candles out in the room and took one with him as he walked through the long hallway to his room. He had found out a very important aspect of the spear, two things really and couldn't wait for morning to inform Angelus. As he walked down the dark hall, he felt the air had become increasingly cold as he neared his room. He wrapped his jacked snuggly around him and continued. He reached for the knob but turned around quickly. He felt something behind him yet there was nothing there. The air was thick and stifling and he turned back and opened the door to his room and rushed inside locking the door behind him. The room was cold, too cold and in an instant he knew he wasn't alone.
"W.whatever you are. I'm not afraid of you." He puffed out his chest, ignoring the bead of sweat traveling down his nose. He held the candle in front of him then suddenly the flame shot up to the ceiling. The room lit up and the candle burned down almost to the bottom within the torrent of flame. He dropped it to the floor thinking his hand would burn. He was breathing heavily looking around the room. Looking down he saw the candle still flickering and nervously picked it up what was left of it. He held it in front of him once more, and then a shape began to form.
"Are you afraid of me now?"
