IN A CHURCH NOT FAR FROM ANGEL
Charlie bent on her knee's infront of the alter. As she said her prayer, she thanks the Lord for all the things she was lucky enough to have. It may not but much to some people in The City Of Angels but Charlie knew she had more than some in the small apartment she had. It was a home. After her prayer Charlie got to her feet and waved goodbye to the father as she left the Chapel. Charlie ran straight into somone. The apologies automatically ran from her mouth. Charlie looked up and saw the most beautiful man she had ever saw. His face was almost angelic in its beauty. The words died in her throat when the stranger smiled. Charlie tried to say sorry but her words stuck thickly in her throat.
MAN -Would you look at me running into you. I am so terribly sorry you know
Charlie listened to the mans lyrical Irish accent. Smiling, before she could stop herself made Charlie blush a deep red.
CHARLIE- No I wasn't looking where I was going.....I always rush this late at night
the man nodded in agreement his face a mask of concern
MAN-you dont mean to tell me that a lil lass as beautiful as you are is walking home on a night like this without as much as a pet to keep her safe
Charlie flushed at the concern in his voice. He described her as beautiful. Automatically her hands went to her plain face in marvel at his words.
MAN- my name be Angelus miss* he shook her hand* would you think it would be awfully forward of me to ask to walk you home
Charlie watched as Angelus blushed. Charlie looked back at the Chapel. A stranger, walking me home. This will at least give me something to confess tomorrow.
Charlie nodded her head and started to walk. Angelus walked close and they walked in silence until Angelus asked her about herself. Charlie explained she had moved here with her sister and how they shared a small appartment. Charlie voice was thick with love as she described her sister Emily.
As they walked they could hear the sounds of a fight near by. Angelus smelled the air and stopped. Strange he could have sworn he could smell.......it wasnt possible. Charlie had stopped and was looking at him with concern. Angelus smiled and walked beside her encouraging her to continue.
As they got closer the bar they sounds of glass breaking and voices raised in anger became louder, clearer. The smell became aggressive now and Angelus was not sure what it could mean. It couldnt be Angel. They only had one body and he had the rental ticket. Suddenly a huge blue Tarmel demon smashed through the front window of the bar. Charlie shrieked in fear and Angelus wrapped his hands around her drinking in her fear. The fear in her was steadily growing as Angelus felt his face change to feed his hnger. Angelus was about to fed on the wench when the smell attacked his face. Looking up Angelus felt himself stiffen in shock. How. Angel stood inside the bar beating a Newar Demon. Angel turned as if he too could smell the present of a part of himself. Angelus refused to leave his meal but did not want to get into a fight just yet. In the bar Angel stepped out onto the street and moved to cross when the Newar Demon flung himself at the vampire and threw him off balance. Angelus felt Charlie shiver in his arms. The fear coming off her in waves. Teasing Angelus of the meal there was just no time for. Annoyed beyond words at this new development, he twisted Charlie in his hands and made her face Angel who had beaten the Newar Demon and had crossed infront of him. The two halves of the whole stood facing each other. Angelus holding the girl by the neck til her legs dangled off the ground. Charlie screamed in pain and fear.
ANGELUS - this is interesting
Angel made to move to attack from the side but Angelus swung the girl round like a doll laughing at her distress
ANGELUS- we both know I wont tire of this
As Charlie screamed and struggled she suddenly fainted.
ANGEL- dolls broken......
Angel went to swing a punch at the vampire as he heard footstep approach. Gunn he new from the smell change in the air. Angel's mind worked to think of a way to capture Angelus and save the girl. Angel was still in shock of seeing the demon but a fresh emotion engulfed him. With Angelus seperate he could punish him for all the innocents he killed but first he had to save the girl.
ANGEL- I cant let you walk away
ANGELUS - the doll will be more than broke if you move again
ANGEL- Not scared of me are you... Big bag Angelus,,, the scrouge of europe
Angelus growled and flung the girl at Angel leaving him no choice to catch her before the fall. As soon as he released the girl Angelus climbed the side of the building and ran into the night.
Angel held the girl and swore under his breath. What now, Angel was almost too scared to think about it.
