Chapter 18!!

Electra's mine!! Enjoy! You know you wanna ;)

At the sidelines

'Your sufferings about to end Big Daddy' smirked Electra as she grabbed Angel. She'd unloosened his chains as he'd slept. 'Today's the day you become a man.. useful in more ways than one.'

'What are you actually planning on doing to me?' questioned Angel. He couldn't stand the pain anymore. He would rather die then stand this much pain. He looked over to her and she was smiling. Like she was happy which he found quite unusual. She was supposed to be in utter torment because of his need for blood.

'We're all prepped up love. You sorted with the big poofter boy?' asked Spike as he appeared from the bottom of the stairs. Electra's head buzzed from the tranquil purring of his voice. Angel looked from Spike to Electra and clicked. She was in love with him. And something told him they'd consecrated their love for one another.

'We're ready.. aren't we big daddy?' she said as she grabbed Angel by the back of the head and lifted him up to his feet. She then pulled him closer to his face. He looked in her eyes and then at her lips then back at her eyes. She was still smiling at him, whether it was him or something else he couldn't tell but there was one thing he was dead certain about.

'You smell of Spike.' he said frowning at her. 'His smells all over you. Walking around with a waste like that for years the smells a little hard to forget.' he stated, half smiling. But he must have known his smart mouth would earn him more pain, and in that it did.

'Well... at least I didn't lose my soul by sleeping with Spike. Oh but that's right. I don't have a soul. Man do you realise what a laughing stock you've been for sleeping with the slayer and becoming all big bad again.. and then getting sent back to Hell after she killed you. All the demons are still pissing their selves laughing.' she mocked.

'But I can tell Buffy I love her.' he shot back. Spike was still stood there with a bored and serious look on his face. He wasn't sure whether Electra would lose it now and tear him limb from limb.

'Loves just a word.. and love hurts baby.' she croaked 'But you'd know all about that. Got the stab wound to prove it. The scars gone. Like all vampires healing. But you can steal feel the pain. The metal tearing through your dead beat rotten flesh. But the betrayal to go with it. Your girlfriend finished you off and it still hurts you to think of the hundreds of years you spent in Hell. And she hasn't got a clue.' Electra spoke in a tone that almost sounded sympathetic towards Angel and yet it made sure Angel knew not to fuck with her. She had the power and no way could he forget it.

'Yeah Hell. Bet you felt right at home didn't you Electra. All the torture and pain.' Spat back Angel trying hold his own.

'I did. It is my home. And there where all the walls are black and the fields are red with blood. I am a goddess. Shit like you bow down to me and realise just your place in this miserable existence. You know your place and you know it's not very high. At least Angelus was someone. A killer. Now look at you.. you're nothing but a whimpering sad little neutered puppy that can't fight for shit. And now you're all mine without the Slayer to come and save you. Doesn't that make you just wanna die?' she asked hoping to god he'd say yes.

'Whether I want to die or not something tells me I haven't got much of a choice.'

'Well I'll give you something. That big forehead of yours holds a lot of smart thinking.' she teased. Then she let go of Angel. Not throwing him. Not hurling him across the room. But let go of him. He wasn't tied to the wall or shackled up but he didn't run. He just stayed there in front of Spike and Electra.

'What have you actually done to Buffy?' Angel plucked up the courage to ask.

'Buffy. Err nothing I don't think. You done anything Spike?' she asked with a grin on her face

'Me.. nahh.. nothing love.' replied Spike

'Ah well then just looks like she can't be bothered to come rescue you. Pity. I was dying for a good dance with the slayer.' she laughed. Angel put his head down to stare at the floor. He couldn't blame Buffy for not coming. After all it was all his fault Electra came to Sunnydale. But then..

'Electra.. did you come to Sunydale for me, Buffy... or Spike?' Angel asked lifting his head up. It had just occurred to him that to say she'd only been here a while she had grown attached to Spike becoming protective of him and the same of him. Electra narrowed her eyes at him. Her lips pressed shut.

'Enough talking. We're gonna be late.' she said grabbing his hands and shackling them together.
