Chapter One ~ William
For the first few seconds the world seemed to stand still. There was then a flash of bright light and when it died away a four-year-old boy was left in the place where Spike had been standing just seconds before that.
The Vengeance demon bowed low. "That I give to you vampire for I am Kerokyotis, Vengeance Demon of Rivals, as I grant wishes to those whom make wishes against their rivals. This is your problem now, you made the wish after all."
Kerokyotis shimmered out and left Angel to stare at the little boy. Tears were already begging to form in his eyes and the last thing he wanted was a crying child. He got up and moved towards the boy, but the child let a shriek of terror (only then did Angel realize that he was wearing his game face), turned heal and ran for all he was worth.
This wasn't happening! This just wasn't happening. Of all the things in the world to happen, it had to be this. Dame those Powers that Be if this was their doing or dame those who would ever think to use such a foul trick on him.
"Why me" he muttered under his breath, reverted back to his normal face and went after the fleeing child.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
William didn't know what was happening. Strange looking people and monsters like the ones his papa had told him about surrounded him and he was terrified. Dodging all the people who tried to stop him, William ran the gauntlet better then any runner to ever live and he wasn't about to stop any time soon if it was left up to him.
He had never felt so trapped on his sort life. Not even when he got lost in that maze when he was three. There was just no way out of this maze. He fled down stairs and into room and out of them. He just kept running.
But that couldn't last forever, even children need time to recharge the energy. When he felt like he couldn't go on any more, William silently ducked into one of the many offices in this strange building. When he heard voice approaching, he dashed quickly and hid under the office's only desk.
*Please don't let them find me, please don't let them find me* he silently whispered to himself.
"I'm terribly sorry Angel, but I haven't seen a child run by here" said a voice that sounded much like his papa's but with a distinct mellow tone.
"Are you sure Wesley, because this is extremely important" answered another. This one he knew came from the monster he had ran away from.
"I understand, but what a child doing here?"
"Well."
"Well what Angel?"
"That kid is kinda. don't ask"
"What! You can't be serious!?"
"I am and you'll find out soon enough any way"
"But why not tell me now?"
"Vengeance demon, so I can't be too certain. Could you please tell the others about the kid though? This can't get out of hand. Oh and could you please look up any information on Kerokyotis, the Vengeance demon for me?"
"Yes Angle"
"Thanks Wes"
The second voice disappeared down the hall, while the first voice entered the same office that William was hiding! William held his breath. He couldn't be found, he just couldn't. That was the last thing he wanted, but he knew he was going to be found any way. Shifting from his hiding place, he peeked out from under the desk.
The man named Wesley was standing at a table not too far away looking at a large book. He could see words appearing on the pages and knew what it was. There was writing and other strange looking mumbo-jumbo.
"Amazing! You own the Codex"
Wesley whipped around at the sound of the small British voice to stare at him his eyes large. It wasn't that he had 'found' the child that Angel was looking for, but that the child knew about the Codex. The boy was currently on his knees looking up at him from under his desk.
William shifted uncomfortably and then got to his feet. He walked over to the shell-shocked ex-watcher, smiling a smile that had 'you wouldn't take me to the pound, now would you?'
"How do you know about the Codex?" he asked quietly.
"My papa told me about it"
"And how does your papa know about it?"
Wesley took a deep breath in wait. If this child's father knew about the Codex that that meant he was at a pivotal place in supernatural world.
"I think because he told me he was something that was called a 'Watcher' I think"
A watcher! Now that was a development. Who was this child, if his father really was a watcher then was his killed during its destruction last year? Or something else.
"What's your name?"
"William sir. William Edward Lancaster"
Well now that was the not the reply that Wesley had in mind.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well how was that? Please review and tell me if I got all my information right and also about my spelling. I had to pick a last and middle name out of the air for Spike, so I hope you like it. I also need some help too, my mind is starting to go blank and that just can't happen now! I will also be striving to make my chapters longer as well. Ta, ta.
