Chapter 5
Trudging in the back door Buffy was confronted with her mother. "Where have you been? I have been worried sick!" Joyce demanded. Her hands on her hips as she glared at her daughter.
"…I was at Willows studying for the finals" Buffy lied, she wearily manuvered herself around her mother and continued her trudging up to her room.
"Buffy?" a voice echoed as she closed her bedroom door. Whirling around sharply Buffy found herself face to face with Angel. Her breath hitched in her throat as she gazed up at him defiantly.
"Nice of you to drop by" she whispered stepping back placing more space between them. The hurt in Angels eyes was unmistakeable, sighing Angel stared at his feet.
"Buffy….im sorry for what happened the other day, I shouldn't have done that" Angel said slowly as if every word caused him pain to say.
"What's happening with you Angel?" Buffy asked her concern rising to the surface despite the control she was attempting to masquerade. He turned sharply staring out of the window his source of entrance.
A hand touched his shoulder softly, he turned staring at it. Why is she doing this to me he thought to himself and despite his vows he embraced her, drawing her to him.
"Buffy….oh Buffy" Angel whispered in her hair as he pulled Buffy more firmly to him. Yanking her head to the side he sunk his fangs deep into her throat.
Buffy began to scream………
"Buffy, BUFFY wake up sweetie it was just a bad dream, its not real"
Oh this one was more than real Buffy thought to herself as she tried to shake it from her mind. Cold sweat covered her body. Sitting up in bed Buffy stared at her mother. She did not know what went bump in the night, she could never do that to her mother, not put her through the pain and sorrow.
"are you ok Buffy?" she asked sitting down on the edge of the bed.
"Yeah mum just like you said…..its not real" Buffy lied
"if your sure that your ok………get some rest sweetie" she said bending down to kiss Buffy on the forehead.
"Night mum" Buffy whispered to the closing door.
"im telling you Giles something is wrong with him" Buffy stated pacing around the library. "I have been dreaming the same thing for the last week!"
"yes from what you have told me it seems that things have started to happen in the hell mouth since that Demrahc demon came into the equation." Giles stated pondering the events
"Well whatever is happening its not good" Buffy said finally "We have to help him somehow."
"we will do our best Buffy you know we will" Giles said touching Buffys shoulder gently
Angels house
"What is happening to Me?" Angel demanded facing Demrahc his face cloaked in darkness. Lunging forward Angel snarled. "You lied about the ritual" his hand applying pressure to the demons orange throat stopping that horrible voice.
"3 days, wait till the full moon"…………
Light rippled sending vibrations along the cool surfaces, heat forgotten. A burning desire plunges deep, a desire to kill. Fighting the changes is impossible and so you succumb to the desire. That burning desire to kill, it is in your nature, blood is everything, it is what strives you to kill.
Snarling into the night you stalk your prey. Taking pride in the fear that rolls off them like the ocean rolling onto the cool sand, that fear that you invoke.
The moon bright and full watches over you, your lamp in the darkness, as you strikes, killing within an instant. The limp form rolls to the ground the blond halo of hair falling, crushed by the dirt.
What has been unleashed is unknown.
