Chapter 4 - Patrolling
Faith and Becky walked down the stairs and back to the hotel lobby. "Finally" Spike moaned, sitting in the same place as he had been when they had left.
Faith gave Becky a look that meant "ignore him" but she already was. "So, pigs blood'll do then?" Faith asked Becky, walking over to a cabinet pinned onto the wall.
"It drinks?" Spike asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm a she" Becky said, walking over to Faith, "And yeah ok i guess pigs blood'll be ok"
Faith nodded and pulled out a container of fresh blood and a glass, she ripped the seal on it and poured some into the glass. "There" she said, handing it to Becky.
"Thanks" she said, siping it as Faith put the container away.
Angel suddenly walked out of his office, half way through putting his coat on. "And where are you going?" Gunn asked, standing up.
"Patrolling" he said, watching Becky gulp down the blood and pulling a wierd face. He walked over to the weapons cabinet and took out his sword. Becky finished her gulp of blood and looked up at him.
"Let me come" she said suddenly. Angel looked at her.
"No way" he said, putting the sword in the floor.
"Oh here we go . . ." Spike sighed, Becky, by now, had figured he was only there for decoration.
"Why not?" Becky asked, standing up and putting the empty glass on the table in front of Spike and walking over to Angel, "I can fight you know, and i need some action"
Angel sighed, "Yeah but your a kid and your not coming" he said, walking past her and up the steps to the door. Becky followed him and he turned round again to look at her.
"Oh go on Angel" Faith cried, sitting down next to Gunn, "I mean, what else is she gonna' do for fun?"
Angel sighed, "Ok, fine . . . you can come!" he cried, opening the door and walking out. Becky turned round and gave Faith the thumbs-up before following Angel out.
*-*-*
Becky sighed as she and Angel walked along the dark strrets. Nothing had happened yet and it didn't look like anything would be. Angel watched her out of the corner of his eye, she was wierd, there was something fammilliar about her, yet he didn't know and had never seen her before in his life. Becky looked around, she didn't say anything but knew Angel was looking at her . . .
Suddenly they both turned round at the same time, thinking they both heard something, "You heard that too then?" Angel asked her and she nodded. He looked around, but couldn't see nothing.
"Maybe it was just a cat or something" Becky said, not sounding sure and getting her stake out just in case.
"Maybe . . ." Angel said. He dichided to make more converstation as they walked on. "So, your mother, she know your a . . . vampire . . . and slayer"
Becky did not answer at first but nodded after a while.
"And your father? and leads about him?"
"I wish people would stop asking me that, i don't know" she said, sounding stressed out.
This was when Angel dechided to shut up. They continued to walk in silence.
Suddenly Becky gasped and Angel turned round to see her being held by the throat by an obvious vampire. He went to move but instead watched her pull the beast over her shoulder and stake him before he got to the floor. He knew that move, from somewhere . . . Someone . . .
"You ok?" he asked her after a while.
"Peachy" She said, and they began to walk again, only to see three more vamps as they turned round. "Just peachy . . ." Becky continued.
"I don't really like it when you kill my amigos" the middle one, the obvious boss, said, eyeing Angel. "Get 'em boys" The two vampires behind him immideatly reacted, one pounced on Becky, kncoking her to the floor, while the other locked in combat with Angel. Becky watched as the vampire on her came in to bite her, and closed her eyes as dust fell around her, her stake pointing in the air where the vamp had been. She jumped up only to be thrown back by the "leader" and slam into the brick wall. Angel looked round, having just staked his vamp, he ran at the leader and punched him, knocking him back and again he locked in a fight.
Becky got up and pulled and watched as Angel tried to pry the beast from his neck. "DUCK!" Becky cried, holding her stake up. Angel ducked sending the vampire up in the air, where he was met by Becky's flying stake and he dusted.
Angel stood up striaght as Becky walked to meet him and picked up her stake. "Cool" she said, "I could get used to this" and she began to walk off, Angel watched her, walking slowely behind her. She was a good fighter and she reminded him of someone, in the way she moved . . .
*-*-*
"Shouldn't they be back by now?" Gunn asked Faith, looking at his watch.
"I guess" She said shrugging, "But knowing life, somethings gone wrong"
Spike finally stood up and went to the cabinet on the wall to get himself some blood, "Something always goes wrong luv, it's to be expected"
"Thank-you for those wise words" Gunn sighed at Spike.
Angel opened the door to thier suprise, to be followed in by Becky, who was holding a piece of his shirt to her head, which had started bleeding on the way home. "How did it go?" Faith asked, looking at Becky.
"Great" Angel said, putting his clean sword back, "She was kicking butt"
"Well, i'm not the expert but i thought she was meant to be staking that butt" Spike said, siping the blood he had just made and sitting back down.
"Oh she'll be staking something in a minute" Becky said, a little to loudly. Faith grinned at Spike, who looked kind of freaked out.
"Hows your head?" Angel asked her as he walked past, "I'll get you some ice or something"
Faith followed him to the back room, where he went into the fridge to retrieve an ice-pack. "So, she a good fighter?" She asked, kneeling down beside him.
"Good as they come" Angel said, standing up, "She reminds me of someone, in everything she does . . ." Faith looked up at him, sort of knowing what he meant, she had the same feeling. Angel watched her through the glass, sitting down next to Spike and he wondered . . .
Faith and Becky walked down the stairs and back to the hotel lobby. "Finally" Spike moaned, sitting in the same place as he had been when they had left.
