***Thanks to all who have given me feedback, it has been so encouraging! In
case you couldn't tell, Angel was in the first chapter although briefly.
Hope this chapter makes up for the lack of the sexiest vampire ever to come
out of Joss' mind. Also the song in this chapter is Magic by Olivia Newton-
John off the Xanadu soundtrack. It so speaks to me about the Bangel ship
and what is to come in my story (hint hint)***
***Oh and Jessy, have you been hacking into my computer?? This chapter is for you***
CHAPTER 4
Passing the Demon/Bouncer at the top of the stairs, he made his way down to the bar. Looking around at the punters he took in the scene. 'Ahh, there's the guys'. He spotted his family and was about to walk over when he noticed Lorne sitting at the bar looking very pleased with himself. "What are you smiling about?" he asked as he sat down behind the demon. "Shhh, Angel cakes. Later" the green man waved him quiet as the music started. Grabbing a hand full of blood-filled peanuts off the bar he was about to put them in his mouth, when he glanced up at the stage. 'She's here'. Those two words echoed through his mind as he took in the sight of the one thing he couldn't get off his mind all day. 'How did she get here? How did she know about this place?' Although Caritas was very popular in the demon world, very few humans ever ventured into it. Hell, very few human even saw it. It was protected from the human world with numerous spells and only a human that had been invited to come could see it. He drank in the sight of her. 'My god she is so.' his mind ceased to function as she started to sing in a sweet voice.
Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know I will be kind
I'll be guiding you
Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothing can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let you aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
The newcomer felt Lorne stiffen. 'She must have some heavy stuff there. I've never seen him so engrossed in a reading'.
From where I stand
You are home free
The planets align so rare
There's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you
Through every turn I'll be near you
I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothing can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let you aim ever stray
And if all you hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
As she finished the song, applause rang out through the club. Lorne stood up and clapped along with the rest of the crowd. "Doesn't she just make you want to put on some roller skates and do the hand jive!" Lorne said as he tipped the last of his drink down his throat. Looking up he noticed that his new companion was watching the girl intensely. "Angel, I suggest you go and sit down at your table. I may be busy for a while" and with that Lorne walked towards the girl, whispered something in her ear and led her to his rooms at the back of the club. Angel felt a surge of 'protectiveness? Surely not, I don't even know this woman'. Taking one last look at the girls' retreating back, he headed towards his son and friends.
