Flashback"You, bitch." Said Angelus in a booming voice as he hit Faith so hard she flew back into a wall.
"I didn't mean to. I love you." Faith cried as he hit her again. She kept backing away from him, then she looked behind her and seen she had walked right back to the stairs. "It was only a kiss."
"Only a fucking kiss!" He said as he hit her once more and she fell down the stairs, she looked up at the man once more before she fell unconscious.
End of Flashback"Slayer." The vampire screeched.
"Don't you dare say I would forget. Her not being here is a big enough reminder that she isn't here and isn't going to fucking come back!" Angelus said taking his tone down as well as she sat down and rubbed his eyes. "It's been a month. A month since I've seen her or heard anything about her."
"You know as well as I do if she doesn't want to be found she won't be." Spike said.
"That was just a warning Angelus, next time it'll be you." Faith's voice sounded throughout the room.
Faith walked out of the doors to the club, 'Eternal Flames.' She had just finished her first nights work; she had to admit she enjoyed being back with her friends.
"So this where you work now slayer, didn't think this was your style." Angelus' voice came from behind her. She looked around but he wasn't there.
"Well there's a lot that you don't know about me." Faith said keeping her tone short.
"Well that's not true. I know more about you than anyone and you know it." Angelus said still unseen.
"No actually I don't, know it. But I do know that your starting to piss me off." She told him using her senses to try and track where he was.
"Come on sweetie don't be like that." Angelus said in a teasing voice.
"Well how the fuck do you expect me to be, just welcome you back into my life with open arms? Tell you I love you wait for you to say the same, then go back to my apartment and fuck? Well how the hell did you think it was going to be honestly. Because if you thought I'd be begging you to stay you obviously don't know me at all." Faith asked him, keeping her tone normal. It was silent for a long time.
"Didn't think you'd have an answer for that." Faith said as she walked out of the alley and into the open street, then she seen him. He was stood about four meters away from her.
"Who's speechless now slayer?" He said as she just stared at him. Him being this close was having a strange affect on her.
"I'm not speechless, there just isn't anything left to say." She told him in a weak voice.
"Are you sure?" Angelus asked as he moved behind her, he was now so close he could whisper in her ear, but Faith didn't flinch like she thought she would. She closed her eyes and relaxed, she fell back and let him hold her up. She felt the way she had when they first met, even though they were vampire and slayer. She was comfortable around him and she could relax and not have to worry about anything because he would protect her.
"I'm sure, there's nothing else to say." Faith whispered.
"There's always something to say slayer." He whispered in her ear. He knew he still had a hold over her he always had even when they had first met.
"This is wrong." Faith said the last of her will coming out in words.
"Then why does it feel so right?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her. He to closed his eyes, he took a deep breath and inhaled her scent the thing he had missed so much the past month, not being able to smell her sweet smell, she smelt like sweet strawberries and sunlight, something he could never have, yet she had a darkness in her that called to him.
Her resolve finally kicked in and she began to move away and he let her he didn't want to force her or hurt again.
"We can't do this Angelus… it's wrong, also too much has happened and I don't think it would ever be able to work again. I heard your the new Master Vampire here. So I think I'm going to leave. I have friends somewhere else I could stay with," Faith told him as she moved out of his reach yet again.
"You don't have to leave." He said, not wanting her to be a million miles away from him again.
"Why, are you offering to leave?" She sighed.
"No, but…" he started to say.
"No buts Angelus. You might have this great control over yourself, but I don't. And I don't know if I can stay in the same place as you, seeing you everyday without my resolve crumbling and me doing something stupid." Faith explained.
"So being with me is something stupid?" Angelus said trying to keep calm.
"Yes, because see even now you can't keep the lid on your temper that's the one thing you cant control. And that's why we're here right now because of your temper. Angelus, I really cant be with you if I'm scared every time I speak in case I say the wrong thing and you do that again." She told showing him how vulnerable she really was.
"It was once. I never meant to hurt you, but when I found out about you and Spike I flipped. I never meant it to go so far that I..." Angelus tried to tell her.
"Look Angelus, nothing you say is going to change my mind. I cant do it." Faith sighed she didn't want be talked around. It was strange how earlier tonight she wanted to kill him and now she would do anything just to kiss him, but she knew she couldn't risk getting involved with him if he was going to be that violent to her.
"Could we…" Angelus started saying but Faith cut him off.
"I have to go," she then started to walk away and he let her. He wanted to show her he had changed so he would let her go for now but he wouldn't give up that easy.
