Tonight and the rest of my life
Chapter 7
"Dont do that its annoying." Angel said as he and Heaven patroled, Buffy was having 'Mom' time with her mother.
Heaven had recently suffered a break down and was now at this point trying to make her life better for herself. It wasnt hard though, Angel and Buffy made her feel like she was always wanted and with Spike around she never felt like a third wheel. Her, Buffy and Willow had spent the majority of the summer shopping and sun bathing but now it was coming down to those few weeks before college. Buffy, Willow, Giles, and Xander had been keeping her a float.
"Do what?" Heaven asked looking at him sideways.
"That thing, with your nails." Angel said shaking his head.
"You sure are a picky vampire." Heaven said shoving her hands into her pockets.
"I know." Angel replied, he stopped looking around she was sure he smelled something.
"What is it?" Heaven asked pulling the stake out of her back pocket.
"Dru, why would she be here?" Angel murmered barely audible.
"Dru? Who is Dru?" Heaven asked she knew she had heard it before.
Angel spun around, Heaven raised her stake and turned to see a pretty young woman with long wavy brown hair and smoky good looks. She was a vampire, Heaven had spent part of the summer honing her tracing skills as well as her self defense.
"My Angel." She had a soft singsong voice.
"Dru." Angel said simply, he had a way with saying one word and meaning a thousand.
"Where is my Spike, Angel?" Heaven blinked as the woman turned to look at her. "She smells of him."
"Dru what are you doing back here?" Angel asked, Heaven felt something behind her.
"I miss my Spike." She made a pouting face.
Heaven turned to see Spike coming up staring at the woman. It clicked, Drusilla, way to go Heaven. She shook her head she was never scared of losing him till this moment when she knew that the woman had more on her. An eternity above her at the least, she nodded as if she understood and walked right past Spike.
"Heaven..." Spike said making no attempt to come after her.
Heaven made it out of the cemetary. She leaned against the wall behind her as a man she knew was no man but a vampire came towards her looking as if he just wanted a meal. She shook her head and pulled the stake up, the vampire reared back hissing and ran off.

"Are you sure that you're ready for something like this?" Xander asked pulling the other side of the sheet down on the bed.
"Yes, she needs a place to stay and Orion is stupid and immature. She would end up like... well I dont know. A hussy." Heaven replied.
"When was the last time someone used the word hussy?" Xander asked looking at Willow and Buffy who sat on the small sofa watching the little people on the tv running around.
"I use it all the time." Heaven smirked.
"That says a lot about you." Xander said smiling cooly.
"Shut up. I'm perfect." Heaven said leaving the small room.
"So are we up for the Bronze tonight? Enjoy our freedom." Xander said jokingly.
"I could do the Bronze tonight." Willow said following them down the hall with Buffy in tow smiling about something.
Heaven was about to respond when a high pitched screaming caught her off gaurd. A large greenish demon sprung through the window in the hall above the stairs. The demon leaped on Heaven causing her to fly down the stairs. She hit the third one from the top with the side of her arm trying to catch herself but just flipping over and rolling down. In the second before she would have snapped her neck on the ground she kicked her foot off of the wall and did a complete 180 slamming into the opposite wall. She pushed herself off of the floor her left arm was broken, as least she hadnt broken her kneck.
"Heaven freeze it!" Buffy cried running down the stairs.
Heaven threw her hands at the demon but it kept running. She tried to throw it with her mind but she thought maybe a little old fashion. She lifted up her leg kicking it in the face as it charged her. She ducked as it flew past her running into the wall behind her she grabbed a letter opener off of the nearby desk and jabbed it in the back with it. Instantly the demon burst into flames and dissappeared. Not dead dissappeared, more like it traveled to a differnt place by dissappearing.
"Damn, ow ow ow." Heaven was running her hand over her broken arm. A bone was protruding through her skin.
"Dont do that!" Buffy barked.
"Damn! ORION! Damn." She hissed. Seconds later in the form of an astral projection her brother Orion appeared.
He took one look at her arm and laid his hand over it, not touching it. The wound dissappeared before their eyes and their looks fell on the astral projection of Orion. He was tall and handsome with short light brown hair. His skin was tan and he looked like a god with the soft glow around him she shook her head as Buffy and Willow let their mouths drop to the floor at the sight of those sparkling light blue eyes and the pearly white teeth.
"Bye, thanks." Heaven said with a smile as her brother dissappeared stealing one last look at the two girls.
"What did he just do?" Xander asked obviously jealous.
"Hes a healer. I come from a magical family what can I say?" Heaven said rubbing her arm.
"We need to go see, uh, Giles about that." Willow said pointing at where the demon had been.
"Good idea." Heaven said grabbing her keys she was forcing herself to not mind the pain.
"Dont you dare!" Willow said grabbing the keys. "You just broke your arm!"
"How did they make that guy?" Xander asked after Heaven got in the backseat with him.
"You are stupid Xander Harris." Heaven said putting her feet up against Buffy's seat.
"Really, how did they. I mean he can astral project and all that." Xander asked actually interested.
"Well, he died as a baby. But he was blessed into a magical family and so the powers that be decided that they were going to make him a Healer. They gave him the power of Astral Projection so that he could heal things like that when they needed it." Heaven said thinking about her brother.
"Just a question," Xander said as they pulled into the driveway to Gile's home. "Has everyone in your family died?"
"No, Kitty hasnt died yet. Its kind of a prophecy with my family. We die for the greater good, if us dying would benefit someone else then we die, sometimes gladly." Heaven said getting out of the car.
"Is it writen that you all have to die or something?" Willow asked.
"I dont know. Maybe, but dying in my family is fate. You just cant change it. I'm not afraid of death." Heaven was saying as they walked into Giles home.
"How did you die?" Buffy asked lightly, Heaven knew how Buffy had died.
"I was shot, in the stomach. Saving an innocent. Still have the scar." Heaven lifted up her shirt to show the hole shaped scar next to her belly button.
"And you came back how?" Xander asked, Giles stood intrested.
"The powers that be decided it wasnt my time. Besides that the Angel of Death was all what am I suppose to do with this one?" Heaven joked.
Giles door opened and Angel and Spike came in looking distraught. When they saw the four of them together they made shocked faces.
"What?" Heaven asked she still was not sure if she was speaking to Spike.
"We went to your place and there was blood and green stuff and a huge hole in the wall. We just assumed." Angel said motioning to Spike who nodded.
"Oh that was Heaven." Willow said with a smile.
"What?" Spike strided to her.
"I'm fine. Big green demon pushed me down the stairs and I hit the wall like a loser and broke my arm. No biggie." Heaven said avoiding Spikes eyes.
"I see no sign of injury." Giles said looking at her arm, except for the bruise on her face that she hadnt known was there or she would have had Orion heal it too she was untouched.
"Orion stopped by." Xander sneered.
"Your brother? The healer? He has a whole book to himself you know." Giles said. "What demon?"
"Big, green, mean." Willow summed it up pretty much the way it was.
"Seemed like an assasin." Buffy said looking at Heaven.
"Oh it dissappeared in a big ball of fire." Xander said nodding.
"You killed it?" Giles was pulling books off of the shelf.
"No, like in astral projection where there is the glow thing, like that." Heaven said flopping onto the sofa backwards and letting her head fall back.
"Transportation by fire?" Giles sounded like he had an idea.
"What time is it?" Heaven asked staring up at the ceiling.
"Eight." Xander answered.
"Is this it?" Giles asked holding a book up for Heaven.
"Ask them, they saw it the best. I ran into a wall." Heaven said pushing herself up and looking at the picture anyways.
"Are you okay?" Spike asked touching her arm, she shrugged it off and hopped over the sofa then out of Giles front door into the night.
"Whats with her?" She heard Xander say a little to loud through the door.
"Hey." Oz was coming up as she was trying to leave
"Hi." Heaven thought Oz wouldnt press her.
"Whats up?" His tone was lazy yet interested.
"Nothing." Heaven said walking past him.
She walked down the steps and off into the street where she sat on the curb. It had been a weird day, it was the first time she had seen Orion since Jaime's funeral. And although there had only been one funeral she had mourned seperatly for the both of them and she wasnt sure if she was done yet either. She missed her brothers so much sometimes she felt like she couldnt breath but the part where you tell people what was wrong wasnt her best quality.
"Heaven, we have a problem. Can you can you come back?" It was Xander, she nodded polietly pushing herself off of the ground.
"Aparently this thing is some kind of evil demonic hit man that comes around only when its a big deal." Xander said as they walked back up the steps feeling stupid.
"But who would do that?" Heaven as saying it as they walked into the room.
"We need you to find that out." Giles said softly.
"Oh." Heaven said. "Well, give me three black candles and turn off the lights."
Giles left the room momentarily and brought her back three black candles when she had them in the circle her hit the lights. She lit them one at a time blessing each one. She closed her eyes chanting latin words in her own head. Moments later her eyes flipped back open replaced by white pearly bulbs. She slipped into the catatonic state where she searched into the past revealing the culprit.
She gasped for breath as she came back. The candles went out and she was enveloped by black that seemed like the only thing she would ever see again. After that, she never wanted to see again.
