Chaper VII, Together Forever?
Germany, 1884.
William looked up from his book as Angelus walked into the room and smiled.
"Hi!" William said as Angelus sat on the bed.
"Hey! What are you reading?" William showed him the cover and Angelus cringed. "Why do you read those books Will?" He asked, taking the book from him and placing it on the bed.
"Its what I am isn't it? Why shouldn't I be reading it?" Angelus rolled his eyes.
"Yes, I can see why you want to read it... but... Dracula?" Angelus cringed. "Can't you read something thats a little less... well... lame?" William laughed.
"Sorry." Angelus patted his leg.
"Anyway, I came to ask you. Darla and Dru got me things for my birthday, why didn't you?" Angelus asked. "I thought you would have got me something." William smiled.
"I did... I just wanted to wait until we were alone!" He said and reached under the bed and pulled out a small box. "I know its probably not as good as Darla's or Dru's, but it is something." He handed the box the Angelus. Angelus took the box and opened it. His eyes widened in surprise.
"A Claddagh ring." He smiled and took the ring out of the box and put it on his ring finger. It was too loose so he took it off and put it onto his middle finger, it fit perfectly.
"It represents Love." Angelus smiled. 'I wonder if he knows it also represents firendship and loyalty.' Angelus thought, but mentaly shook it off figuring he just wanted to put the emphasis on the emotion. Angelus playfully shoved William who laughed.
"I'm also Irish..." William nodded.
"I know... Thats what gave me the idea!" William looked down at his hands and sighed.
"Whats wrong?" Angelus asked. William bit his lip.
"Your not going to leave again are you?" William asked, his eyes cast downward. Angelus looked at him like he was nuts.
"Of course I'm not going to leave." He said. "Ever!" He smiled as William lied down on the bed, placing the book on the side table and pulling up the convers. Angelus walked over to the curtains to make sure they were shut properly before kissing William on the forhead. "See you tonight!" He said, before leaving the room, closing the door behind him.

"Little did I know, I wasn't going to see him again for a very long time." Spike said.
"You really loved him didn't you?" Spike nodded.
"He was the closest thing I ever had to a father." He said. "The second family I stayed with, Elizabeths dad was always gone a busness trips, or so he said." I rarely saw him." He looked around at the faces around him and saw that Willow was now crying, as was Anya and Tara who had come in a little after starting the story.
"Wow... Hard to believe you actually liked him... I mean with the you hating him and all." Dawn said. Spike shrugged.
"I didn't actually hate him. When I first saw him at the parent teacher night I was a little shocked. I spent the last 110 years looking for him. I had just recently given up thinking that he was dead. And even as Angel I liked him. Until he turned back into Angelus. I guess he didn't like the fact that I've changed. He turned Me Dru and Penn for different reasons. He turned Dru, to prove to Darla that he could have power over someone, Penn he turned to teach and train as a Childe. and Me... well... Vampires often have an urge to have an actual child, like a human does. But it soon passes, but Angelus, he wanted to keep his forever, thats why he turned me. Except he couldn't turn an actuall child cause... well... you've all seen Interview with a Vampire!" Spike laughed. "They'll be trapped in the body of a child forever and the demon goes crazy. So he waited for me to grow up."
"So what happened when Angelus came back?" Dawn asked.
"I thought you wanted to hear about Methalius..." Giles whiped his glasses again.
"We do."
"Then I guess your just going to have to wait for the whole Angelus story huh?" He said shaking his head. "One thing at a time, eh mate?" Giles nodded and put his glasses back on.
"Please continue Spike!"
TBC... Well... guess Angelus isn't to keen on keeping his promisis is he? Anyway PLZ R&R
