A/N: Woah, I'm on a role, chapter number 5. This is probably the longest
I've ever kept going with a story (And the first one I've actually posted)
: D Anyway, the first 5 chapters had been planned out for ages, but my next
updates are going to take a while as I haven't actually got any of them
written yet and the fact that I have some much homework and revision for
some lovely exams coming up. Oh the joys. Please review if you are reading
this, I'll leave it otherwise, no point posting it if no one's reading it!
Disclaimer: Joss and M.E.
Summary: After just moving from Britain a girl with unusual abilities meets the scoobies, a pre-chip Spike and unsouled Angelus.
Warning: Nothing as of yet, maybe in later chapters
Rating: PG-13
Spilers/Timing: None really, but it's set in season three so there might be some vague spoilers, but if you've seen Innocence and know about Angelus, there isn't anything (hopefully)
-------------------------------------------------
They were all sat down at the table Chloe had first spotted them at in the library and Giles had a pen and paper out, taking notes.
"Ok so you know about vampires and slayers, I get that. But why did the vampires leave after talking to you, when they clearly weren't scared of the slayer?"
"I practice a bit of magic"
"A bit?" Chloe looked around the room for an example and decided to go with what was right in front of her. She muttered a brief spell and the table floated a metre above the ground, before she settled it back down again. Then she summoned a fire ball in her hand, before sucking the power from it, causing it to go out. "Impressive"
Chloe was a little freaked when Giles had said that, it was exactly what had Angelus had said when he'd seen her dust a vampire off with one of her fireballs.
"But how did the vampires know about you?"
"I go around and patrol ever so often" She didn't mention that she did practically every night, she didn't want to be paired up with Buffy, there was just something about her that she didn't like.
Giles looked up at the clock on the library wall.
"It's getting late, I suggest you all get home now, we'll talk about this further in the morning"
"Great, get to school extra early for an extra special scooby meeting!" Xander jumped off his perch on Chloe's chair with sarcatic enthusiasm.
For once Chloe was greatful that she lived on the opposite side of town to everyone else, the one thing she really didn't want right now was to be bombarded with loads of questions. If there was one thing Chloe had learnt over time it was to keep secrets closely guarded especially when you didn't want to be found. Now practically every vampire in Sunnydale knew who she was, as did a watcher, therefore meaning that the council would probably find out, a slayer, and a bunch of her mates from school. Things really couldn't get any worse.
"Evening Chloe" Or maybe things could get worse, she mentally hit herself over the head for giving herself the ultimate jinx, even if it was only in her head. She turned around to face the pair of master vampires.
"Angelus, Spike"
"She sure is a clever little niblet, she knows both of our names" Chloe was very tempted to stick her tongue out at Spike, he was getting increasingly annoying, but she decided it was best for her if she didn't though, Angelus wouldn't be too pleased if she insulted his childe, plus Spike wasn't the kind of person you made out to annoy, unless you had a death wish.
"I heard you ran into a bit of bother this evening, along with the slayer and her bunch of pals"
"You knew who they were? How come you didn't tell me?"
"You didn't ask, besides I don't have to tell you anything"
"How did you know about earlier anyway?"
"I make it my business to find out everything that goes on in this town, especially when you're involved"
"What? So you're my stalker now?" Chloe was getting increasingly annoyed, she hated the idea of someone watching and following her, but at least generally she knew when it was happening, but tonight she had had no idea at all that someone had been watching her, and Angelus had been keeping things from her. Not that that was much of a shocker, she didn't really expect any better from him, but she was still pissed off.
"You really aren't being very polite tonight are you? I would advise against being rude towards me, especially tonight" Chloe was instantly suspicious and her eyes narrowed as she tried to work out what he was talking about.
"What happens tonight?"
"You invite us into your house"
"I don't bloody well think so" Chloe turned on her heel and stormed off to her house, fully aware that if Angelus didn't want her to get inside she wouldn't, but she put that thought to the back of her head, and concentrated on ignoring the two vampires that were following her.
As she reached the door and unlocked it she began to hope that maybe, just maybe they'd decided to leave her alone. As the door swung open a cold hand grabbed her arm.
"Invite me in Chloe"
"No" She knew she was going to have to invite him in sooner or later, but the longer she stayed out here, the sooner sunrise came. Angelus pressed her against the wall and pressed his lips against hers firmly, and despite her resistence and struggles his tongue found its way easily into her mouth. Once his tongue was in his mouth he became gentler and loosened his grip on her. After about half a minute he pulled away and looked at her as she stood in complete shock, a look which was soon replaced by one of pure annoyance.
"Now invite me in, or we do that again" Chloe glared daggers at him and if looks could kill, she'd have a very dusty front door step, but unfortunately for her they didn't, and there were two vampires stood next to her waiting for an invite.
"Come in" She muttered and then stormed off into the house and grabbed a bottle of Archers from the fridge and sat down in the lounge, it front of two very amused vampires.
"What do you want?"
"Besides from you?" Chloe rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth at his typical comment and took a long drink from the bottle she held in her hand, this was going to be a long night.
"Look you have an invite to my house, so can you just kill me or whatever and then sod off?"
"I'm really not liking your attitude tonight Chloe, perhaps I should teach you a lesson or two" Chloe bit her tongue to stop herself from responding to that, she didn't want to get into too much trouble with him, not in the first two minutes of him being in her house anyway. "I suppose we can't really force you to keep us here, if you don't want us here well, we'll leave. But I'm not leaving without you, so we either talk here or at my place, which would you really prefer?"
Chloe crossed her arms and slunk further down in her chair.
"Here"
"Nice to see we're on the same wave length here. Now all I have here is a slight proposition. I want to know about the slayer and you want to stay alive, yes?" Chloe nodded her head waiting for him to continue "So we're settled, you get me information and you get to stay alive" Chloe looked shocked at the moment, he just assumed she would go along with whatever he said, she briefly considered turning him down but then realised he might not just stop at killing her, what if he went all the way and turned her, that wasn't the kind of situation she wanted to be put in again.
"Fine, but I don't know what you expect me to find out. She's bloody well boring, and I doubt she'll tell me anything, she doesn't like me" Chloe grumbled as she finished off her drink and then added as an afterthought "But then again, I don't like her either"
Spike and Angelus gave each other a look across the room and Chloe was extremely tempted to have a go at them, but remembering Angelus's previous threat she kept her mouth shut, for once.
"Well I think that's all the business I have here tonight, don't you?"
"Cheerio then" Chloe waved with a sarcastic smile on her face as Angelus and Spike walked out the door.
Chloe sat down for a bit and then calculated her options. She had moved to Sunnydale to avoid things like this happening, of course she had realised it was the hellmouth but that was even better, she would blend in well, there were probably several witches on the hellmouth. He could find her, she knew he would, he most likely knew where she was already, even though they hadn't seen each other since England, something told her that wasn't going to make the slightest difference, it was only so long before he would track her down to Sunnydale, oh well she might as well make the most of her few weeks, days, or hours of freedom she had left, they would be her last.
