Reunion: Chapter 4: Suspicions
Willow POV
Willow couldn't shake the feeling that Buffy was hiding something. She had been rather distracted and jumpy lately. Something has to be wrong....but what was it? She picked the phone up and dialed Buffy's house. She let it ring over twenty times before she hung up. She decided, since Buffy wasn't home, maybe Xander was. She tried to call him, but like before, she received no answer.
Xander POV
Xander was sitting at a table with Anya at the Bronze, listening to the band, wondering if he should ask Anya to dance, when Buffy walked through the door. He immediately jumped up and went to talk to her. "Hi, Buff," he said cheerfully.
"Hey, Xander," Buffy replied half-heartedly.
Xander couldn't shake the sneaking suspicion Buffy wasn't herself. He was about to ask her about it when she gave him a look that plainly said she wanted to alone. "Okay.... I'll just be...... over there," he pointed to the table where Anya was still sitting, waiting for his return. Without waiting for a reply, he retreated to his table.
Buffy POV
Buffy greeted Xander and, completely ignoring him thereafter, went up to the catwalk. She was looking down at the club and band when she sensed him. She quickly turned around. "Angel, I thought you went back to L.A.," she said carefully.
"Oh, I thought I'd stick around," Angelus said smoothly.
"Oh," she replied, her attention returning to the dance floor.
He glided to a position behind her and slowly, carefully put his hands on her shoulders. "Are you okay?" he faked concern he knew his soul would most definitely show.
"Yeah, I guess," she replied dolefully.
"What's wrong?" he asked again even though he knew very well what was bothering her.
"Nothing," she answered sounding rather far away which was very unusual for Buffy. In fact, she sounded more like Dru.
They stayed in that position for a few minutes before she turned and walked away.
Angelus POV
So my little presents are doing their job. Buffy the Bitch was gonna be under his spell.....forever.....
