SORRY! SHORT CHAPTER!

disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters.

ANGEL

Angel leaves the basement with great haste to the sewer, and travels along the pipe lines till he gets underneath an old factory. He climbs up the ladder leading to a trap door and opens it, cautiously coming through the door and standing up.

"I thought you weren't going to come to me, Angel my pup." A voice calls out to him. Angel turns around, and walks up to Drusilla, smiling. " I was lonely."

"No, Dru. Of course I would come to you. You're my Dru, and nobody else's." Angel says as he walks up to her and starts to twirl her in a dance.

"Did you see Spikey? Was he surprised to see you? Did he see?"

"He bought every single word Dru. Before long, he will be dead for what he did. No worries my love." Angel smiles at Dru. Dru really loves that smile. It makes her feel fuzzy inside.

"No no, my pet, we must play with him. He has wronged us…..he is beginning to remember too. He will sting us once more…..all our planning….." Angel dips her, " Wasted." He brings her back up, " And then he will realize what we want to do, he will bite at a few certain 'friends'" Dru smiles. "He is easy to toy with, after all, he believes me to be dead…..how foolish can he be?"

Angel smiles down at Dru once more. " More foolish than you think." and they laugh, because Spike won't know what hit him,and sowill the slayer.

SPIKE

Spike gets up and wipes the blood from his cheeks. Oh god……Lizzy……I…I fergot. Spike gets up, and then a flash of anger cuts through him like steel. Angel……what are you up to…you were mad as hell at me, and Dru……it's not just her death that brought him to me. I need to be careful. As he lifts his head, the bell rings. Then an idea pulls him toward the basement door, up the stairs, and through the locked door, into the hallway. Spike perches himself against the wall, just as Buffy comes around the corner with Willow. The Slayer. She looks so much like her……hmmm……could it be possible? Bugger, I need to do some research. Suddenly Buffy looks over at Spike, and locks eyes. She just stares at him, and then gets a puzzled look on her face. Spike smiles, and tips his head in her direction. Buffy scowls, and turns her head toward Willow, gets up, and walks toward Spike.

"You know, I never knew it could be so hard just trying to be a normal teenager. I have so much homework, I have an emotional gap with my mother, I have the lowest social rating because of some Cordillera chick, and, I have to beat up vampires and demons so I can save the world. Now it would be a big help if you just told me straight out why your still in a school. You've been here for three days, and trust me, it's not just easy pickings." Buffy gets out quickly when she gets to Spike. He can't help but laugh. She is so full of it.

"You caught me, it's all because I want to be with you, is that what your hoping to hear?" Spike smiles at her reaction. Buffy's eyebrows go up, and she leans back slightly, then glares and leans back in.

" Frankly, it would make my job easier." She retorts, very ticked she can't stake this vampire. Then Buffy puts her hand over Spike's heart, and pushes slightly, so he can feel the sharp point of her stake. "But I guess it's not so hard once you get the hang of it."

Spike, stops smiling, knowing what kind of danger he is in right now, he moves slightly, and the stake pierces his skin. He stops moving, as Buffy, moves with Spike, point still over his heart. "Ya know Pet, does fair fight at all come into that thick skull of yours?"

"Ha, like I'd give you that advantage. Fortunately for you, I can't do anything at the moment, and neither can you. I suggest that when I move away you disappear, and not show your pretty face around here again. Other wise…" Buffy pushes her hand against Spike's chest more, once again piercing the skin. " I won't be so generous."

Spike looks down at Buffy, memorizing every feature, every line of her face, then nods. Buffy takes he hand down, but keeps it to the side and ready for quick stake removal, and steps back. "Good."

Spike straightens his jacket, and runs a hand through his hair, and sighs. Then he looks back at Buffy, smiles slightly, and gives her a deep bow. " I'll be seeing you later Slayer, we can continue where we left off." Then he turns on his heel, and goes back down the basement door with his true face, snarling angrily.

BUFFY

Buffy smiles at her small victory against Spike, and walks back to Willow, in a cheerful mood. "See? What did I tell you, He doesn't know when to leave." Then Buffy laughs, somewhat guilty of her little lie to Willow.

"That's really sweet Buffy. You've only been her for a week and a half, and already, you have a boyfriend!" Willow practically squeals at Buffy. "What did he say?"

"Oh, just that I caught him being here, and that he was only here to be with me." Well he did say that. Buffy was a little surprised at the coincidence.

"AWWW!" Willow chirps.

"What's so aw?" Xander asks as he sits down and takes Willow's hand.

"Oh Xander! Buffy has a boyfriend!" Willow smiles crazily at Xander. He likes her smile. "His name is Spike, and he came to Sunnydale High just to be with her, and it's so adorable!"

"Really? Well Buff, why didn't you mention this before?" Xander asks questioningly, raising his eyebrow at Buffy dramatically. " Have you been keeping secrets from us?" Willow laughs and pushes Xander.

"Everybody has their little secrets Xander." Willow chimes in, having a giggle fit, " Like how your mom stopped calling you her Pumpkin Boy only last year." Than she bursts into laughter, Buffy as well, as Xander glares at Willow.

" Well, your mom calls you Bumble Bunny, still." Buffy, stops laughing, and looks at Willow. Willow stops laughing and looks at Xander, who is smiling smugly. Then they all look around and begin laughing in perfect unison.

Later that night, when Buffy goes home, once again, Anya is there. Oh great. "Hey mom! I'm home!" Buffy walks over to the stairs when a burst of laughter stops her. Buffy goes toward the living room and stops and looks around. Papers were every where, there wasn't anywhere else to sit, besides small spots on the floor, and Joyce and Anya had their sleeves rolled up, pencils above their ears, and were discussing wildly and laughing. "Mom?" Buffy asks, glancing at Anya and crossing her arms.

"Oh, hello Buffy, we were just planning how my gallery was going to be like, it will be great!" Joyce tells Buffy, with a huge smile. "It's going to be fantastic, we'll bring have antiques brought from all over the world, Africa, Asia, Japan, Italy, oh a I can't wait."

"Your mom is very excited. I'm helping her with her finances and shipping papers. Also we're looking at places to put the gallery, it will be great!" Anya puts in, also smiling. Anya really likes this last assignment, she really is starting to enjoy her self, Joyce is so pleasant.

"Right, well , I'm going up to my room. Please try to control your cackling, I have some home work. Good night." Buffy leaves, and walks up the stairs, a little pissed, and goes to her room. Joyce sighs.

"I thought she'd be excited. She never is happy for me anymore. It's like she's killing me slowly Anya. Sometimes, I wish she would just stop before she hurt the ones that care about her."

Anya smiles. I grant your wish, Joyce Summers, for the price of being your partner. " I'm sure she'll come around, after all, teenagers have mood swings, you'll see." Okay Anya, LAME! Teenagers have mood swings? Oh come on…Joyce glances up, smiles and nods. " Yeah, your probably right. Okay, so we have the place picked out, the service charge for the transportation ready, the…" But Anya wasn't listening, she was concentrating on the girl upstairs, focusing her energy on her, and granting Joyce Summers wish. Well Spike, I guess you could have your wish too after all.

Riley

YES! IT WORKED! Now her only 'friends' will be Willow and Xander. Eww... so gross... butit's not enough...I'll think of something later.Now about getting Cordillera back. Riley thinks to himself has he walks up to the factory. I hope she will have me back...I guess IDID go a little over board.

"More foolish than you think." (laughter)

Who said that? Riley takes a deep breath. " Hello? Whoes there?" Riley cautiously steps into the factory.

"OH Angel! Look! Look at the young blood who wants to play!" Dru says when she spots Riley through the darkness.

"Hm, are you hungrey darling?"Angel coos at Dru. Riley looks around, moves in a circle, then suddenly he's tied up and in the middle of the floor.

What the Hell? "Hello? Who are you?" Riley calls out once more, hearing, but not seeing, the people. " Hey man, this isn't funny, come on, get a grip and show yourself!" Riley trys to say with anaffermative voice, failing.

"He's scared my pet, scared like a dog. Filthy animal." Dru looks at Angel and pouts. " I don't like this game anymore."Dru looks back at Riley who's looking around frantically. Dru sighs."Kill him." Riley's eyes open wide. Dru liked that reaction.

"What? Hey, stop screwing around, this ain't funny man!"

Angel smiles and grasps Dru's hand. " Darling, I smell the slayer on him...mayhap he can be used to our advantage?" Dru looks up at Angel and thinks, tapping her finger on her chin, and then looks down at Riley once more. She shrugs,"Why not?"

"Slayer? What slayer? What the hell are you talking about? Hello? This ain't funny you jack-"Angel,jumps down to land right in front of Riley's face, stopping him in mid sentance.

"You don't swear infront of a lady." Then Dru is right beside Angel, lacingher armson his shoulder. " It's rude." Then Angel and Dru release thier true faces, and lean down lower, making riley feel something warm running down his leg as Angel unties him andlifts him off the floor. " What...what are you?" Riley looks over the lines of his face and wants to look away, but can't.

"Your wost nightmare." Then Angel growls and holds Riley's wrist out, while Dru slowly makes a line through it. Riley screams out in pain. Then Angel holds out is own wrist, and Dru also cuts it slowly, but Angel just closes his eyes and smiles, enjoying the pain. Angel holds his wrist to Riley's and Dru ties a scarf around the two wrists. But Riley donsen't see this, because he is unconcience. Angel stands there, holding Riley, for a full 2 minutes. " Untie it." Angel tells Dru, and she obeys.

"I blood bond you to me, Riley. I shall see what you see, hear what you hear, smell what you smell, taste what you taste, and feel what you touch. You shall come when summoned, and obey my every command. You are my slave." Riley slightly moves, as a sign of being awake, and looks up at the man who's voice was in his head. He looks up at Angel. Angel lets him go, and immediatly, Riley crumbles to the floor in a kneel, hands in front of him, head bent.

" Yes, Master."
