Tonight and the rest of my life
Chapter 10
"You didn't have to lie to me." Angel had been there for almost an hour telling her that she didn't have to be lying to him of all people.
"I know but what did you just want me to come out and say, hey I'm a god and my daddy is Apollo and I knew that Glory wanted Dawn but I didn't do squat about it!" Heaven asked Angel loudly as she put the fried chicken he had brought them in the microwave.
"Maybe not in those words and maybe not to anyone who doesn't know about Dawn, like everyone." Angel said sitting in on the high bar stools around the very tall modern kitchen table that Jason liked.
"I mean honestly what would you have said?" Heaven asked leaning against the sink.
"That you were insane." Angel said smiling sheepishly.
"Yeah well there you go." Heaven said turning back around and looking out of the window above the sink. "Angel, tell Kitty to run upstairs and to stay away from the windows. God please tell her."
Heaven was referring to the mass of vampires that was in their front yard. A brick flew through the window as Angel hurried Kitty up the stairs.
" 'Come out and die or we send the demons in to kill your sister.' " Heaven read aloud to Angel who narrowed his eyes.
The back door opened and shut quietly. Heaven held out her hand in front of her and a ball of fire appeared in it as she crept around the corner. Buffy, Xander, Tara, Willow, Anya, Spike and Giles cramped up the small kitchen.
"Whoa, that's so cool." Willow said pointing at the flame in Heavens hand.
"What's going on?" Heaven asked.
"We were on our way down here to talk to you and tell you how much we love you then well we saw this whole thing in your yard so we came through the back. That looks like it would hurt someone." Xander said pointing at the ball of fire in her hand.
"Yeah probably." Heaven said nodding.
"So what do we --" The front door was busted open.
Heaven ran down the hall way thrusting her hand out and hitting a large bluish demon in the stomach with the fireball. But that was hardly the end they began to poor into her house. Angel came up behind one of them knocking him down then picking it up and hurling out the door knocking down two others right outside.
Buffy came crashing down on one demons head stabbing it in the back with a kitchen knife. Xander knocked one over with a frying pan. Heaven saw one out of the corner of her eye going up the stairs but Spike quickly leapt on it and made it fall all the way down the stairs hitting the ground hard. Heaven was thrown against the wall by a strong arm she pushed herself up quickly without any pain and threw her hand out at the demon making it fly out of the door.
"Oh this is just about enough!" Heaven cried throwing up her hands freezing all of the demons in the room but all of the people moving around as if nothing was frozen.
"Hey! What's going on?" Xander asked looking around stupidly.
"As it is so it be done, turn these demons into one." Heaven said as they unfroze and formed one giant demon.
Heaven threw the knife she had in her hand at the demon stabbing it in the heart. It fell back but blew into a million slimy pieces before it hit the ground. She leaned back against the wall, being a person and using that much power takes a lot out of a person.
"So you're a witch and a god? Cool." Tara said smiling and nodding.
"I'm a witch. Moms a witch, Dads a god. Looks like my secret is out." Heaven said closing her eyes for a second.
"IM FINE HEAVEN! IM NOT FIVE!" Kitty screamed down the stairs.
"Just checking." Heaven said going into the kitchen.
"So exactly what are you?" Anya asked with a smile.
"I'm an immortal witch." Heaven said pressing thirty seconds on the microwave.
"Is Kitty like that too?" Buffy asked.
"Nope, she is 110% mortal and normal. Mom was clipped of her power before
Kitty was born and Dad had the gods strip her of the whole godly thing because that means she would have had to die." Heaven said pulling the chicken out of the microwave and offering it to everyone.
They ate, asked weird questions about Heaven's powers. Ate some more, Kitty came down for like a split second to get food and take it to her room then disappeared again. After everyone was gone and Angel told Heaven that she better not be late for training in the morning Spike still lingered with that stupid smile on his face.
"Little sister is up stairs so that's a big fat negative." Heaven said as Spike put his arms around her waist.
"Negative? Really?" Spike said.
"Yes, goodnight." Heaven said pushing him off.
"Oh bugger. Night." Spike said giving her a kiss and leaving.
Heaven began to clean up the dishes in the sink when she heard Kitty behind her.
"I don't like him." Kitty said to Heavens back.
"Well that's really not your call Kit." Heaven said placing her hands underneath the hot water.
"I don't think it's safe for me to be around vampires. That's all." Kitty said turning around and going back up the stairs.
-----
"You're kidding!" Buffy cried out kicked the large punching bag.
"No, I kid you not." Heaven said punching the glove pads that Giles wore on his hands.
"Why would she say something like that? Not safe to be around, I mean technically he isn't but well not all Vampires are like that." Angel said holding down the bag as Buffy beat the crap out of it.
"I kid you not." Heaven grunted as she kicked the glove hard.
"So the, I don't think it's safe to be around vampires thing does that apply to them all?" Angel asked making a face.
"No I don't think so. But I heard her talking on the phone to one of her friends from home and she said that," Heaven laughed as she changed her voice to mimic Kitty's " 'My sisters boyfriend is a vampire, but he is SO fine! So is that Angel guy and Xander he is so cute. Why don't cute guys like me?' "
"Dawn has gone down that road too. She is fourteen so its not a biggie just let it go." Buffy grunted loudly.
"Down the I-don't-like-the-love-of-your-life phase? Not. Who doesn't like ole Angel here?" Heaven joked as the door o the gym opened.
"It's a mad house out there! Halloween and all, help? Spike is actually helping and you lazy people aren't!" Anya barked then slammed the door.
"Oooh what do I say?" Heaven said grabbing her zip up jacket off of the table as Buffy did the same.
"I don't know." Buffy said making the what do I say face.
Heaven saw Spike was helping a young woman behind the counter so she avoided his stare instead of looking up and doing the whole love thing. She was scared she knew she felt it but she couldn't say it. As she picked up a book of love spells for a customer she realized that the best thing she could do for Kitty was to break up with him.
"Don't do it." Angel said walking up next to her.
"Point? Make a point. Heaven asked making her eyeballs huge.
"Don't do that its scary." Angel said smiling.
"Oh shut up your deadliness. That cant possibly be a word." Heaven said putting three books back on the shelf at once.
"Have you noticed how much magic Willow uses?" Angel asked her.
"Not really, why? Are you worried?" Heaven asked turning back to him.
"Sort of. I don't want to sound to serious but I mean cant that get bad?" Angel stared off to where Buffy was standing.
"Yes it can. If you don't learn to control it." Heaven said watching Willow.
"Learn to control what?" Tara said coming up to the two.
"Oh nothing. Heaven's hair." Angel said smiling and walking to Buffy.
Tara smiled and Heaven felt a pang of guilt for lying to Tara, she was so sweet and she hadn't done anything to her.
The bell over the shop tinkled. Dawn and Kitty came in giggling and carrying on. Heaven was glad Kitty had come in like she was suppose to straight from school.
"Can Dawn stay over tonight Heaven?" Kitty asked catching Heaven off guard.
"Of course if it's okay with her mom." Heaven smiled at them.
Heaven went behind the counter after Anya ran off to the back room to get something for a customer. Heaven smiled to herself as she rang up a woman with a bunch of the small novelty toys that Giles had put out for kids.
"Bagging is just so much fun." Buffy said sarcastically.
"Are we having a Scooby meeting at the house tonight?" Heaven asked smiling at a cute guy who was attempting to flirt with her.
"Thought we could go the Bronze. We all need a little relaxing, if you catch my drift." Buffy said smiling at the cute guy and winking at Heaven.
"Good idea." Heaven replied.
Right now she just wanted to think about anything else then what she had to do tonight.
Heaven slipped into Spikes crypt after enlisting Xander to watch Dawn and Kitty while Buffy and Angel patrolled and Heaven went to do the thing she had hoped she would never have to do.
"Bloody hell woman you look like you've seen a ghost or something." Spike said getting up from his chair in front of the TV.
She took a deep breath. He looked so good in just his black pants and his black shirt completely unbuttoned. Heaven gritted her teeth and put her hands behind her back.
"Spike we need to talk." Heaven said forcing the tears back.
"I think so too." Spike said with a mischievous smile.
"Do you have something to tell me?" Heaven tugged on the sleeves of her blue sweater.
"Yeah I do. But you go first." He said leaning against the chair behind him while Heaven stayed near the door.
"No, no you go first." Heaven said nodding, she wanted to let him go first so when she told him, she could run.
"Right then." Spike said suddenly nervous. He stood and walked to the dresser. "Heaven come here."
"Okay." Heaven said raising one eyebrow.
"Heaven," He took a deep breath and turned around, he had a very small box in his hand. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and well I don't see how I could go on without you. I want to marry you Heaven."
"Whoa." It just slipped out of her mouth.
Heaven looked down at the small box and before he could say another word she turned and fled the crypt. She ran out into the cool air and kept running out of the cemetery into the street and down the street to her house where she practically busted down the door.
"HE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM!" Heaven cried to Xander who mouth a few words but nothing came out.
