Chapter 8
Sisters in a Crisis
"What a dump huh?" Xander flopped over on the sofa as Angel checked the voicemails on his phone. He smiled as little Noah's voice came over the line and he told him he missed him and loved him. He would give anything to go home and be with his family. But in a way he already was.
The next message was from his younger sister Willow. Willow had reminded him that her and his other sister were going to meet up with them around Huntsville; at least another 2 and a half weeks down the road.
Willow was single and 19 years old and rarely joined Angel on his road trips. But Willow was desperate to get away from an abusive relationship she was in currently. When Angel had first heard he was furious and threatened to kill the guy but Willow was currently staying with his other younger sister, older then Willow, Faith.
Faith was 22 years old and her occupation was a daredevil. Literally. She would test out bungee cords and other things before they were used for rescues. She was single but was raped when she was 16. She was forced to give up her baby and ever since then she had been very hesitant to accept love from any other man.
"Faith and Willow are going to catch up with us in Huntsville," Angel said tossing his phone into his bag and taking off his shirt.
"Nice," Xander replied. "Sister in a crisis again?"
Xander had remembered Angel telling him about the horrible things that had happened to Faith 7 years before when they first met. Now he was seeing a replay in the relationship Willow was in. Angel took off his shoes and flopped himself on the bed. He put his hands behind his head and breathed in a lung full of night air coming from the small window on the other side of the room.
"So what do you think about Lucy?" Angel asked.
"She's really nice...and sweet," Xander said.
"Oooo. Someone got a crush?" Angel asked.
"Nah. I've seen Spike eyeing her. What do you think she's been keeping from us?" Xander asked.
"I don't know. But we'll soon find out."
