Chapter 9

"Willow just out of curiosity, this Angel Chase guy what does he do for a living?" Xander asked as he crossed the library to get closer to his friend who was sitting at the table studying a book.

"Oh no, don't even think about it mister! If I tell you you're going to mock Angel because you think he's not good enough for Buffy" Willow replied. She'd seen it happen before with Riley, Buffy's ex boyfriend (Buffy's only ex boyfriend)

"No honestly I'm just interested" Xander promised while crossing his fingers

Willow sighed "Buffy told me he's a private investigator, he runs his own business in L.A" she admitted. Willow had known Xander her whole life and it was hard to keep secrets from him, too hard.

"Ok Willow I have to tell you something, but you have to promise not to yell at me" Xander said in a low voice while moving closer to her.

Willow said nothing and simply nodded.

"There's something wrong with this Angel guy, I mean how can a private investigator know about things that go bump in the night? Not to mention his name I mean what kind of name is Angel?" Xander knew he overreacted when it came to Buffy but this time he just knew something wasn't right.

Willow was about to say something but she was cut off by Buffy who entered the library carrying a pile of books.

Xander flashed Willow a pleading look; He didn't want Buffy to know about this until he had more evidence.

Willow wasn't too happy about it but she seamed to understand.

"Hey Buffy" Willow said shooting Xander one last evil glare before walking over to her best friend.

"Hi guys, have you seen Giles?" Buffy asked as she carefully placed the pile of books on the table.

"Nope, why?" Willow asked as she grabbed a book from the pile to examine it.

"The vampire chronicles" Xander read on one of the book covers.

"I just need to talk to him about something" Buffy said as she took the book Xander was holding and placed it back on the pile.

"Have you read those?" Xander asked in disbelieve. He had never seen Buffy read a book about slayer stuff unless Giles told her to.

"I looked into them" Buffy replied. She really didn't want to discuss this with her friends right now.

"So are you going to the bronze tonight?" Xander asked to change the subject.

"Yep, I'll be there" Buffy answered. She really was going to be there but not alone.

This time she was going to make sure Angel came along.

Wesley! Cordelia yelled as hard as she could.

"I can't do this any faster!" Wesley countered.

Cordelia was standing in the doorway of her room while Wesley was trying to kill the spiders by hitting them with a broomstick.

"There's one!" Cordelia screamed while pointing at a big brown spider that was making its way up the wall.

"Maybe we should call an exterminator" Wesley suggested while wiping the sweat of his forehead.

"Maybe we should call Angel" Cordelia said with a trembling voice while looking at her bed.

"Wesley followed Cordelia's gaze and yelped when he saw what she was looking at: A huge black spider almost as big as Wesley himself crawled out from underneath the king sized bed.

Wesley turned around and ran out of the room pushing Cordelia out in front him. He slammed the door shut just before the black spider could reach it and locked it.

"Call Angel" Wesley ordered as he went looking for something to shove in front the door.

Cordelia did as she was told and hurried of the phone ready to call Angel.

"Giles I need to talk to you!" Buffy said when she saw Giles come in trough the library door.

"Yes hello to you to Buffy" Giles sarcastically replied.

"Can vampires enter houses uninvited?" Buffy asked ignoring Giles last comment.

"They can only enter public commendations without an invitation, places that aren't owned by anyone" Giles explained while cleaning his glasses.

"That makes sense" Buffy thought out loud.

"May I ask what's the nature of you're sudden vampire interest" Giles questioned.

"You could've just asked her what's the matter" Xander interrupted. He always hated it when Giles acted so stiffly, maybe it was a British thing.

Giles ignored Xander's comment and waited patiently for Buffy to answer his question.

"Well I was gathering evidence to prove you wrong about the voice in my head thing" Buffy answered after a beat.

"That's good you always need evidence before you accuse someone" Willow said while shooting Xander an evil glare.

"Please explain Buffy" Giles said again ignoring the last made comment.

"Well last night I was at Angel's and these vamps came out of no were they attack us but we managed to stake them" Buffy explained.

"So you think they were special vamps" Willow stated.

"So? I mean you've seen demons you've even fought the master, why did you look into those books? You never did that before" Xander said.

Buffy blushed "That was different" Buffy whispered" While pretending to be very interested in the dirt on the floor.

They were all interrupted by the bell telling them to get back to the real world.

"We'll see you tonight at the bronze" Willow said to Buffy as she and Xander waved goodbye to her and Giles.

"Don't you have to go to class?" Giles asked. When he saw the look on Buffy's face he knew something was wrong. "Oh god, what did you do?" He quickly added.

"Nothing I swear, I'm just having an appointment with principal Snider in five minutes" Buff answered trying to look innocent. Snider had always hated Buffy and today he wanted to have a little chat with her about good behaviour.

"Well you'd better get going then" Giles said. While grabbing the pile of books Buffy brought in earlier.

"I'll do research on vampire's perhaps that will help us find out more about all of this" Giles said as he watched Buffy leave the library.

- The mansion -

"I'll come back tomorrow, I can't drive back when the sun is still out and I have to tell someone I'm leaving. Yes I have friends here! Just stay away from your room and I'll take care of it, bye, see you tomorrow" Angel sighed as he ended his phone call with Cordelia.

He had to go back to L.A to help out his friends with a demon they couldn't handle themselves. He decided to pack, by then it would be dark so he could tell Buffy he was just temporarily leaving and he would be back as soon as possible.

Angel was about to start packing when a figure jumped out of the shadows and tackled him to the floor.

Angel was surprised by this sudden attack and had trouble getting back to his feet. He looked at his attacker and found a blue skinned demon roaring at him. Angel morphed into game face and growled back, he was about to attack the demon when he was hit over the head from behind him with a big heavy object. He tried to fight of the dizziness but it didn't work, he fell to the ground unconscious.

"Now all we need is the slayer" The blue skinned demon sneered.
