Chapter 9
Family
"Daddy will you do me a favor?" Sarai asked Angel as she entered his office doing her after school 'check in'.
"What is it princess?"
"Could you write a note to my English teacher, Mrs Jones saying I got sick tonight so I was unable to do it?"
"Now why would I ever do that, when clearly you're not sick."
"Because I can't do the assignment."
"Is it to hard for you?"
"No, actually it's pretty easy."
"Well then there's no reason why you can't do it."
"But-"
"Sarai I am not going to lie for you. If it's easy then there is no reason for me to get you out of it. Now, I want you to go upstairs and work on it and do your best on it." Angel instructed.
"If you insist" Sarai answered nonchalantly.
[ "My names's Sarai Angel, I was born on March 7th 2002. That's right 2002, technically I am only supposed to be 2 years old, but I'll get to that later. Both my parents are vampires. My mother, who's name was Darla staked herself in order to give birth to me, so I live with my dad who just goes by the name of Angel. My dad was actually the most evil vampire there was over 100 years ago, but he has a soul now so he's not evil anymore, which is good.
We used to live in an old hotel where my father ran an investigation team and 'helped the helpless' as he called it. He lived there for two years, I only lived there for a few months because my fathers 'friend' Wesley read a false prophecy and instead of bringing it to the rest of the team like a normal person would do he was an idiot and decided to give me to my dads enemy named Holtz because I'd be 'safe' with im. HA! Holtz ended up taking my into another reality called Quartoth. Time moves faster there so that's why I am 14, almost 15 now. Quartoth is an evil hell dimension full of demons. Anyway eventually I got out of there and came back here. SO did Holtz, but he disappeared for awhile.
When I came back and met with my dad again I was pissed off at him, because that place messed me up a bit. I even tried to kill him several times. Anyway to make a long story short my dad took a job running a law firm so we live in a penthouse now. Not that long ago Holtz showed up again but my father and I killed him and that's when I decided not to be pissed at him anymore. That's been my life so far" ] Mrs. Jones read aloud to Angel.
"So you see why I asked to meet with you today Mr. Angel. The assignment I handed out was supposed to be a short autobiography, and a true one. Apparently your daughter decided to make this a big joke and handed this in to me. Which is rather surprising considering she's usually an excellent student." the teacher then told Angel.
I should've written the note. Figures the one time I have the balls to deny my special girl something it'd be the one time I really should give in. Angel thought to himself as he shifted uncomfortably in his chair. "Yes well, I am surprised too. I will ah...have a talk with Sarai as soon as I get home."
"You know, despite that she's usually good, there have been one or two occasions where she's mentioned other-worldly things. Such as when we were reading and discussing things written about The Salem Witch Trail she said what a shame it was that the real witches used their magic to get away so it really was the innocent who got killed and some witches to this day are still swearing revenge."
"Well, Sarai's always...been very creative. We're talking a huge imagination. She used to make up tons of imaginary friends as a child" Angel said, trying to cover for her wait, is it good to have imaginary friends? Did I just make things worse? he then thought.
"Very well then" the teacher said. "That'll be all then because I have another father I need to speak with concerning the content of their child's homework. It was nice meeting you though"
Oh, good "You too, Sarai won't do this again, I promise." Angel assured the teacher. As he walked out of the classroom he came face to face with the father of the other student. He knew this because he's seen his picture before in Buffy's room. It was Hank Summers. Angel shot him a nasty look as he walked past him.
"Come in mister Summers, I need to speak with you about your daughters autobiography. Let me start with the title she gave "My so-called life, cause I am really a mystical key thousands of years old.'" The teacher told him.
What on earth is Dawn talking about Hank thought.
Angel, who was listening in the hallway watching the look on both Hank and the teachers face while reading the biography couldn't help himself, he started to laugh at both papers as he decided to head to his car.
"Those things are crap" Angel commented as he walked in the door and saw Sarai was about to make a Hot Pocket.
"They probably are, but they're quick and I am lazy."
"Take a seat, I'll fix you something"
Sarai did as she was told. "So what took you so long to get here? Its not like you have to drive home from you office or anything."
"No, but I had to drive to your school, talk with your English teacher and then drive back." Angel answered as he went through the refrigerator and examined its low content. He made a mental note to go food shopping as he took out what he needed.
"Really? You talked to my teacher huh? About what?" Sarai asked casually.
"What do you think we talked about? Your autobiography."
"Hey, you said I had to do it!"
"I didn't know that was the assignment."
"I tried to tell you but you didn't want to hear it."
"You're right about that part but you didn't have to tell the truth. I mean what did you think would happen after you handed that in? You're luck they didn't want you to see a counselor."
"I know I should've made something up but I couldn't help it, you should've seen the look on her face when I first handed it to her." Sarai said trying not to laugh, and failing. Angel almost started to laugh again too.
"I bet. Next time remember, lying is the best way to go" Angel said handing Sarai a caesar-salad with cut up left-over chicken in it. Huh, I am probably the first father in the world to tell their kid that "I am going to go change" he added going into his room. About a minute later there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it" Sarai offered getting up from her dinner and answering the door, where a women with black hair in a white dress was on the other side. "Ah...can I help you?"
"I've been looking everywhere for you" the women answered.
"Who, me? You know me? Do I know you?" Sarai asked.
"The stars twinkled and told me of your arrival."
"The stars told you? Riiight, of course. Well the trees told me I was going to win the lottery, so why don't you leave so I can go buy my ticket." Sarai responded sarcastically.
"Naughty girl speaking to your elder sister with such disrespect. Daddy shall be very cross with you. He doesn't like freshness."
"Did you loose your nice white coat with buckles on it? Because I think you need one stat." After Sarai made that remark the women slapped her across the face and coincidently Angel came out of his room wearing sweats.
"What the hell is...Drusilla."
"You know this psycho-friends network wannabe?" Sarai asked him.
"Why Angel I think you need to discipline my sister right away, like I do with miss Edith when she decides to be a rude little girl."
"Dru why are you here?" Angel asked, ignoring what she just said.
"I wanted to meet my sister. Since you've been a bad daddy and didn't introduce me to her personally."
"He's not a bad daddy! What is going on!" Sarai demanded.
"I"ll tell you later, go to your room for awhile" Angel said.
"No way. Who is this women? Why does she think she's my sister?"
"Because I am."
"I. Will. Explain. Later. Sarai. Go" Angel said extremely serious. Sarai started to walk away when Dru grabbed her. Angel immediately pushed Dru against the door but that caused to push hard, so hard that Sarai knocked into the kitchen table. A knife fell off the table and cut her knee. Angel had Dru by the neck, and a stake in his hand(he kept a stake by the door at all times just incase.) He couldn't kill of her though, he had too much guilt to do it because if it wasn't for him she wouldn't be a demon...or insane. So he was going to let her off with a warning, this time. "Dru listen to me, I don't know what you're doing but knock it off. I swear if you EVER show yourself near Sarai again I really will kill you." Angel threatened shoving the stake in her heart, but pulling it out before it went far enough to dust her. He then pushed her into the hallway, slammed the door, locked it and ran over to Sarai.. "Are you ok sweetness?" he asked.
Sarai nodded. The cut wasn't deep at all, the blade just grazed the skin enough to make it bleed a little.
"Come on, I'll clean that up." Angel offered going into the bathroom with Sarai, she sat on top of the toilet lid as Angel pulled out a band-aid, and some wound anti-infection spray from the medicine cabinet and ran a washcloth under warm water. He got on his knees an started to gently clean the cut with the washcloth, when that was over with he reached for the spray but Sarai pulled her knee away before he could use it.
"It'll sting" she said pouting.
Angel chuckled for a second. There was no middle ground with Sarai, either she was acting like she was 25 or 5. Although Angel found both versions absolutely adorable he had a teeny special softer spot for the younger version. "It won't...now can I do it?" he answered softly, Sarai put her knee back in front of Angel, " good girl" he added spraying the spray.
"Aowie! Liar" Sarai whined, grinning at the same time.
"That's very convincing" Angel replied covering the wound with a band-aid then, placing a kiss on top of it. "All better"
"So who was that girl?" Sarai asked as they headed back into the living room.
"Your remember the crazy girlfriend I told you Spike had once?"
"Yeah...that's her?"
"Yeah. But I left some parts out. See she's a vampire....because of me."
"You sired her?"
"Uh huh, but you how she's crazy?"
"See if you remember my psycho-friends comment you'd know I picked up on that."
"Right...anyway I did that too. Before I sired her." Angel said in a low voice. Sarai could tell how bad he still felt about it.
"Oh....ok. So that's why she kept saying she was my 'sister'"
"I guess."
"So how did Spike fit into this?"
"She sired him."
"Oh. And my mom sired you right?"
"Right."
"So who sired her?"
"An accent vampire the first time, and Dru the second"
"First time? Second?" Sarai questioned.
"She was vamped twice....long story."
Sarai looked a little freaked out. "So let me get this straight ok? According to this whole 'vampire family' thing Dru would be my sister and since she re-sired my mom, my mom is be my mother-slash-niece-slash-grandmother, if you include the fact she sired you. Dru would be is sister-slash-nice. Spike is my nephew-slash-uncle and YOU! You're-you're my Daddy-slash-grandfather-slash-BROTHER! You're my Grand-Daddy-Brother! What the hell is wrong with you vampires!"
huh, I never thought of it that way, damn that's messed up Angel thought.
"I am going to end up on Jerry Springer now I bet." Sarai then commented.
A/N: So what did you think of this chapter? In the next one Sarai and Dawn go to the mall, during school hours and a very special resurrection(no its not Darla, I'll tell you that right now.) Who will it be? Will Sarai be punished for what she did with Dawn? Only one way to find out, okay 2 ways.....review and wait.
