Disclaimer: Seriously, do I really have to keep doing this?
Ghostwriter: Oh, thanks. i feel better about Dru That's so sweet, thank you!
Angel Sumoritos: How'd you guess?
beckii: well, how 'bout, Faith and Buffy never met 'cause the girls only saw each other at school, and hung out together without their mothers. In case nobody noticed, they do walk everywhere, so it wouldn't be too hard to escape their mothers. Hoped that answered your question.
Oh, and if I seem to be making fun of Angel constantly losing his soul, it's cause I am. I mean seriously, that's all he ever does. It's annoying.
Angel woke up as he felt something cut a line across his left arm. A moment later he heard a low voice chanting something in Latin. He looked up to see Drusilla reading from a book and holding a blood-stained dagger over a bowl. He tried to move towards her, but was shackled to the wall. Drusilla glanced at him at the sound of chains clanking. "Naughty Angel woke up too soon," she chidded him, dipping the dagger into the bowl. He suddenly felt the now-familiar pull and struggled against it. A few moments later, he slumped down. "Is Daddy back now?" she asked, leaning over him and holding up his head.
"Yes, Dru," Angelus grinned, reverting to his vampiric face. "Daddy's back."
The Next Day
"So, what else is new?" Dani muttered, rummaging through her lunch.
"Nothing," Cori grinned. "Same thing as usual."
"Which reminds me, I need to get a book for english, or I'll be grounded until I move out," Dani rolled her eyes. "See ya later," she called as she left to the school library. Cori nodded and headed to the table with Laura and Erica.
In the library she looked for the newest librarian, Mr. Stewart. She sighed when she saw him chatting with a redhead sophomore. She decided to just find the book herself, and started investigating the bookshelves. She grumbled when after twenty minutes she still hadn't found the book. This was insane, how could a room hold this many books? She fell silent when she heard Mr. Stewart and the sophomore's conversation.
"William the Bloody?" the girl's voice floated thorough the bookshelf. "Who's he?" Dani's eyes widened when she realized who they were talking about.
"One of the most dangerous vampires, at least to Slayers."
"Why?"
"He has already killed two vampires, more than any other known vampire (A/N: is that right?)," the librarian answered. "Although another name he may go by is Spike."
"All right, he's number one on my list," the girl chirped. Dani quietly ducked out the library door, still unnoticed by the other two.
"Crap," she muttered to herself as the bell rang. She'd have to tell Cori about this later.
That Night
Spike kept glancing over his shoulder, feeling paranoid. What was wrong with him? Just because he had bad feeling didn't mean anything. After all, this was the bloody Hellmouth, when didn't something bad happen? he tried to convince himself, without any luck. He gave a sigh of exasperation before the sound of a muffled scream reached him from the alley. He quietly slipped into the dark alley, unseen by the vampire and its prey. He stopped in his tracks when he saw that the vampire was Angel. Seeing that it was already too late for the teenaged girl in the other vampire's arms, Spike retreated softly, making as little noise as possible. Fortunately Angel didn't see him, as he was too absorbed with his prey.
Buffy looked up in surprise when Spike ran into the house. "Spike, just because I'm not making Cori break up with you, doesn't mean your welc-"
"Angelus is back," he cut off.
"But how?" she looked taken back. "We haven't done anything, I swear."
"I don't know," Spike shrugged. "But we've got to get his soul back before he tries to make your life a living hell again."
"No, really?" she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Why do you care?"
" 'Cause he'll go after who you love most first." Buffy's eyes widened in shock. "Where's Cori?"
"I'm serious," Dani insisted.
"I don't know," Cori laughed. "Maybe we can ask Spike if vampires can get high."
"Well, whatever, it's very annoying."
"I'll bet," Cori grinned. Faith passed by Dani's room, headed for the door, when someone knocked.
"Hell-Buffy?" Faith looked at the blonde in shock.
"Faith? Your Dani's mother?" Buffy was equally shocked.
"Yeah," Faith recovered first. "What're you doing here? With Spike?"
"Angelus is back...again," spike answered.
"Shit," was the first thing to come to Dani's mind. "Haven't learned your lesson yet, B?"
"I didn't have sex with him," Buffy ranted. "We don't know how-"
"How'd you get inside, you need an invitation," Faith interrupted when the two blondes stepped inside. She glared at Spike suspiciously.
"Ask your daughter, where's Cori?" He asked, looking around. At that moment Cori and Dani came in, heading for the kitchen. They stopped when they saw Spike and Buffy.
"Spike? Mom?" Cori looked at them in surprise. "What're you doing here?"
"Just your dad losing his soul," Spike shrugged in fake casualty. "Just the bloody usual," he added before pullingher into a hug.
"Hey, Spike, not to ruin your little moment," Dani teased. "But can a vampire get high?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Some vampire chick, and I know she a vamp cause she has her vamp face, keeps coming around, ranting about 'the dark princess needs her dark knight' and something about bringing her daddy back. I assume she a druggie, 'cause that can't be normal."
"Well, now we know why Angelus is back," Spike said tiredly.
"Why?" Dani asked.
Hope the ending didn't totally suck. Either way, review and make me feel loved. And fuzzy. And warm.
