The next couple weeks were very tedious
at Wolfram and Hart. Angel found it awkward to speak to Spike & Buffy unless
it was strictly business, and it was even more awkward for the two of them to
talk to Angel.
"So the Hilgera demon is about east of ..." Angel tried talking to Buffy and Spike, but Spike had that look of disinterest in his eyes, as well as Buffy, and he knew something was up, "Excuse me, I was talking" Angel was really annoyed now.
Buffy and Spike quickly wiped that look off their faces and had a look of attempted seriousness and interest now.
"Anyways, I've heard he knows some important information about something evil that's growing here in L.A. and we need to find out who works for it, and how we can kill it. Buffy, you usually handle these things pretty well, I think you should go alone, and I'll go with Spike," he nodded.
Buffy gave him a look of confusion, "What? Spike is a good.. necessity to have by my side, he can um.." she looked at him for a moment and he gave her a look like 'what is it I really do anyways?' "He uh, knows some of the demons. You never know... he can go with me. Really. It'll be fine..," she tried to convince him.
She noticed that look of anger in Angel's eyes, but it seems as if he always looked that way, even when they were dating in her teen years. But now she could tell he was about to explode almost.
"Angel, is there something going on that we should know cause-"
"Cordi..." he said.
"Cordi? Angel, Cordi is dead..I thought you said..." she then turned around quickly and saw Cordi standing behind her, looking extremely pissed off.
"I have something important to tell you Angel, you better hurry, fast," were the first words to come out of her mouth.
Hours Later
"You mean to tell me that Dracula is back, and he's after Buffy as well as the other slayers and slayers in training?," Angel did not like the sound of that, he tried hard to think of a way to stop him, "Didn't you say you killed him Buffy?"
Buffy quickly snapped out of the trance she was in thinking about her battle with Dracula, "Uh yeah, I did, staked him good. Turned all dusty. Then poof, came back up. But I stood there, waited, staked him again, and again... the guy just doesn't die."
Angel paced a little, "He is basically unbeatable is what you're saying," Angel looked at Cordilia as if asking for answers.
"He is unbeatable. But he has a weakness...," she then turned to Buffy, "You."
Buffy's eyes squinted together as if to question why and what would cause her to be his only weakness.
"Explain again what it is he wants from me?," Buffy was slightly confused.
"He basically wants to turn Buffy into a vampire, and have her as his bride, am I right?," Spike seemed very angry, "Well, newsflash, no one is taking her away from me, not again. I refuse to lose you Buffy," he looked at her and put his arm around her side, "Not again."
Buffy smiled, realizing just how important she was to Spike, either that or he was just possessive when it came to her.
"Guys, I can handle this, I've handled it before-"
"No you didn't. You let the bastard bite you Buffy. I don't care how strong his nifty tricks are to try and get a taste of your neck, I won't let him do it again."
"Spike, it wasn't you who let him get to me. It was my fault," she took the full blame.
"He still owes me money too, he had to borrow some for his fancy crib and now look at his nifty castle all dark and mysterious, oh no don't pay Spike back..," he began to rant, everyone just looked at him.
Spike finally stopped when he realized everyone was looking at him, "What?," he said, "What?!"
"So we'll find Dracula's castle, kill his minions, any followers, and I'll handle Dracula..," Angel said.
"No, I'll kill the bugger, he's going after MY sweet'art," he pointed to her. Buffy still felt weird being called Spike's sweet'art.
Part of her wanted to tell him to shut up before she staked em. She guessed that was the part that fought him all those years and still wanted to retaliate with any remarks of "honey, goldilocks, sweet heart," anything that made her sound like she was his. Even when they were mortal enemies. It would drive her crazy. But she had to let that go. She felt the connection between them, and she knew he loved her more then anyone could humanly fathom.
"When do we leave?," Buffy asked, trying to break the ice.
"When night falls," Angel said roughly, "Tonight, we'll make sure he's dead, for good this time."
"So the Hilgera demon is about east of ..." Angel tried talking to Buffy and Spike, but Spike had that look of disinterest in his eyes, as well as Buffy, and he knew something was up, "Excuse me, I was talking" Angel was really annoyed now.
