I've dropped out, I've burned up,
I fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on,
remembered the things that you said
Buffy sighed still not able to get Angel out of her mind. She was thinking about him twenty four seven. He was becoming like an addiction, a drug, an absolute need that she had to have. Her body even ached sometimes if he wasn't with her. It felt like she couldn't breathe without his body right next to her, or she might die. Was she beginning to be this addicted? Gosh it sounded like she had a drug problem when she thought about it that way.
She then wondered if this was a good thing or not. Well, first of all, she could barely get her home work done most of the time because of him. Number two Willow was starting to worry more because of the secret she knows about Angel that he is alive. Plus the face that if Xander ever found out she was afraid it would be the end of her friendship relationship with him and Willow. Number three she was so intrigued with the sneaking around with Angel that she was getting used to be a part of her daily routine. Knowing that fact she realized she wasn't even staying alert if her friends or mother were watching her. This was a bad thing.
It's like when it came to him everything else just flew out the window. This also made her realize that this was going to be a problem sooner or later if she didn't fix this situation fast. Besides that what's better to think of school than Angel's Greek body of perfection. She was suddenly dozed out of her thoughts as her chipping but ignoring friend was calling her name out.
"Buffy…..ah are you in there or do I need a horn to wake you?" Xander joked.
"Ah no…. I…. was just thinking about…. The…. home work I needed to finish." Buffy lied.
"Ha ya right, you probably thinking about the date you had yesterday, speaking of which why wasn't I told about it." Xander replied.
"What?" Buffy wondered when she made up that lie. She then looked at Willow for support remembering she told Willow to tell Xander and Giles that. "Ohh ya it was no big deal, it was just dinner with a friend."
"Ya right?"Xander rolled his eyes. "Are you going to at least tell me what his name is?"
"Well you already known him already." Buffy smirked not telling him. Maybe he'll figure it out.
"Already know?...Larry." Xander spoke knowing it wouldn't be him. He just wanted to tease her.
"Ewww I don't have that much of bad taste in men." Buffy said.
Willow giggled. While Xander smirked intending on finding out who Buffy mysterious man is until he seen Giles and Jenny walk into the library. He looked at Giles and couldn't but help tease him.
"Hay Giles, have you gotten enough sleep lately…. You…. look…." Xander started to say but then looked Jenny who was looking concern and worried.
"Tired with bags around the eyes." Buffy stammered.
"Well that's because I was researching all last night, like some people." Giles muttered.
"Hay we research and play like some people." Xander joked.
"Willow blushed."
Giles ignored the comment and took a seat in front of the table. "We ah, have a very serious problem."
"What type of Serious? Major or minor problem!" Buffy joked until she seen his worried look. "Ok something is up by the expression of your face."
Giles wiped his glasses and opened the watchers diary book. "I think there are some new vampires in town and possibly a Demon." He showed her the picture of the demon named Drakon.
"Vampire? A Demon?" Buffy replied suddenly becoming worried. Until she looked down to see the picture. "Ok so don't want to meet that thing in a dark alley." She said noticing it was like seven feet tall with horns and claws.
"Well the council contacted me and stated that's it's possible a vamp is in town……possibly Spike"
Xander rolled his eyes. "You mean William the bloody."
"Yes... They said he's in a secluded part of the town, and they sent me a message telling me there have been ten people missing from that area." Giles said.
"Great, I so don't need this right now...I have exams to study for. Damn Spike" Buffy pouted irritated. "What about this Demon?"
"I think it's pretty simple to say the demon could be Drakon." Giles said.
"You mean as Drakon the beginning of the end of this world?" Buffy said.
"Well not the end of the world." Giles said.
"More like end of us." Xander rolled his eyes.
"End of the world…..end of us?" Willow panicked. "We…we have to do something."
"Oh I'll do something…like put a stake in Spike's chest." Buffy replied suddenly really irritated that once again that stupid vampire caused her problems.
Xander looked at Willow noticing she was panicking. He held her hand and stared at her. "Don't worry Wills the hero's always win.
Willow smiled trying to keep calm, but she wasn't calm. She was tensed up that something bad was going to happen and couldn't do anything about it. She felt it in her gut.
Faith walked in and smirked taking a seat by Jenny. "What's up guys?"
"Nothing, besides a vampire with a certain disorder to irritate me and the fact he might be awakening a demon." Buffy said.
"A Demon?" Faith asked
"Ya we might need to figure out a plan."
"A plan? How about going in there with guns blazing." Faith smirked.
"A plan?" A tall woman said walking into the library. "With guns blazing."
The whole gang turned as they looked at the woman that walked into the view.
"A plan is something you plan precisely and accurate. Leaving no blind opens, especially something as dense as going in their guns blazing." Gwendolyn said. "Any ways which of you is Faith?
Giles looks back at the girls then back at the woman. Jenny stared at her in surprise by her insulting words.
"Depends. Who the hell are you?" Faith asked.
"Gwendolyn Post. You're new Watcher."
Faith is standing by a corner of the table looking surprised and somewhat irritated. "I don't need a new Watcher. No offense, lady. I just have this problem with authority figures. They end up kind of dead."
She nods sarcastically and takes a seat next to Buffy. "Duly noted, and fortunately, it's not up to you."
Buffy and Faith exchange a look knowing this was going to be a long day. Giles looked surprised as they did. He wondered why he didn't get a noticed that she was coming. Either way he thought this was going to be an interesting day.
That evening Mayor Wilkins and Mr. Trick started off in a heated discussion on what happen last week. Mr. Trick was irritated to say the least and if the mayor wasn't indestructible he would have stabbed the prick already.
"How about that friend of yours? Where is he now?" Wilkins replied harshly.
"I paid him. The man did his job. No reason to burn that bridge."
"This didn't turn out the way I had planned."
"Where's the downside? You just got yourself one less demon you have to pay tribute to. The way I see it, I did you a favor." Mr. Trick said.
"I guess you did." The mayor smirks coldly and walks over towards him. He quickly grabs him by the throat and leans close to his ear. "In the future... I'd be *very* careful how many favors you do for me. For now we do things my way." Wilkins said.
Tricks eyes him coldly as the mayor let's go of his throat and walk away. He begins to get up and leave when the mayor voice stops him.
"Oh and do me a favor would you. Make sure to keep an eye on……" He stopped as he suddenly heard someone entering his office. To his avail, it was the person he was just about to mention.
"Oh well you're here…. I…. just wanted to talk to you about a certain someone." The mayor said.
The blonde vamp smirked and stepped up to the mayor. "And what would that be…. Mayor"
"The mayor sat calmly down by his desk and stared at the vampire. "About a certain slayer….Faith."
Later that day after dealing with her annoying new Watcher Faith left around the evening. Buffy and her discussed about the plan to take out a certain vampire named Spike. She didn't knew much about him only knowing he was very strong and killed two slayers in his past.
She started to make her way to the graveyard when she suddenly sees' Buffy passing the cemetery and walking towards Crawford Street. She wondered what she was doing. Instead of calling out her name, she decided to follow her and see what miss goody two shoes has been doing. Following Buffy down the streets of Sunnydale Faith allows her mind to flow into oblivion trying to decide what she should do. She watches as the scenery passes by wondering what Buffy is actually doing at that mansion.
She hides, behind a bush until she sees' Buffy walk towards the mansion. The light is already on inside so there must be someone else inside with her. She then watches her go inside until a man walks beside her and hugs her. They then kiss breaking off to walk further in the room. She then watches the door close wandering for a moment if she was seeing something she wasn't' supposed to. Well, the mayor did tell her to keep an eye on Buffy. She wondered why. Maybe she was doing something illegal.
She laughed at the thought that Buffy miss hero could do something bad. She highly doubts that.
Rain falls angry on the tin roof.
As we lie awake in my bed
You're My Survival, You're My Living Proof
My love is alive and will never be dead
Angel smiles as he watches Buffy's practice T'ai Chi in front of the great fireplace. Angel tries to concentrate on the exercises, but with Buffy so close to him, it was starting to get hard. Buffy looks at him and smiles as she copies his elegant movement. They each began with their arms stretched high above and ahead of them, hands together. They lower their arms to waist level with a graceful bend at the elbows. Buffy looks up at his hands on hers as he pulls her arms down and around her. She then slowly turns to face him and angles her face up towards him. Their lips move closer and Buffy leaned in towards him. "Has anybody told you're beautiful?"
Angel smiled and leaned closer towards her. "I hear that a lot." He then kissed her. As soon as her lips met his, he was trebling with lust and the need for her. He pulled back and took a deep breath. "Buffy, your beginning to be like a drug to me."
Buffy smiled and wraps an arm around his neck. "I hope you mean a very good drug." She leaned in and kissed him again.
He smiled and kissed her back. "A very good drug." He murmured gently touched her thigh then moving his fingers until his fingers dug in her hip pressing her closer to him.
Buffy moaned and kissed him back just as hard. Angel then gently released his lips and gently took her hand leading her to the rug by the fire place. "Is this your new way of wooing me?" she asked.
Angel gently kissed her hand and leaned closer towards her. "If you want it to be." She then smiled and leaned into the embrace of the arms of her lover for another hour of passion.
Faith watches as they meditate and start to kiss for a moment. She doesn't know the man, but she can tell why Buffy likes him. He was a complete hottie; she can give her credit for that. She moved closer and stood by the window peeking through so she could get a good look at his face.
She watches them fascinated as they moved entwined together as they were one. Buffy's back was against the wall, her legs wrapped around his hips, and his strong body against hers. It was starting to get hard for faith to watch this because she was getting aroused.
A few moments later she watched as the man kissed and licked her neck. She was the verge of leaving when she heard Buffy scream. It didn't sound like she was in pain more like in pleasure. To her surprise when she looked back the side of the man's face morphed as she knew right then he was a vampire.
More than that she expected Buffy to toss him away and stake him, but instead she pulled him forward enjoying the fact his fangs were in her neck. She then watched as the man pulled away turning away from Buffy as Faith got a good look at his face. He was cute for sure, but once she has seen his face, she knew now why the mayor wanted him dead. He was working with Buffy, but she didn't understand why still.
She watched as Angel sat on the couch as Buffy was kissing his face and gently caressing it. The vampire looked like he was embarrassed that he bit Buffy. It was very odd seeing Buffy so gentle to a vampire.
She was on her way to leave the spot when she looked over to see her vampire stalker leaning near a tree. He winked over towards her and gave her the come here signal. She rolled her eyes and walked over towards him. She crossed her arms and stared at him noticing he was still dressed in his nine blacks.
"Miss my love?" the vampire said.
Faith smirked and wraps an arm around his neck. "Guest what…I found Mr. Hunky with Buffy."
"Hunky? The man in the picture." He sneered.
"Oh ya…you never mention he was a vampire?" Faith asked.
"Are you sure? He's actually alive?" the vampire said angry.
"Oh ya and probably shagging little miss good to shoes. I'm still confused why he's not killing her thro." Faith wondered.
The vampire laughed. "It's because he was cursed with a soul."
"With a soul? How tragic?" Faith smirked. "It's funny to know Buffy is actually banging the thing she kills." She looked up to see the vampire about to make a remark. "Ya I know I put my foot in my mouth, but at least I admit I shag the undead."
The blonde vampire smiled and stared at her. "You know what would make it even better is if her friends found out about her shagging the undead. How do you think her watcher would take It?" he whispered.
"You mean they don't know?" Faith asked as she got a sneaky idea in her head.
"No……they thought he died months ago." the vampire said.
"She's been hiding him for months. Little miss perfect is not so perfect after all." Faith smiled and then looked at the vampire wondering how he knew so much about him. "How do you know so much about him? She asked.
The vampire gritted his teeth." Let's just say he was family."
"Family." Faith said curiously.
"Why don't' we talk about that later and for now just on us." He smirked pulling her fuller away from the mansion and slamming her near a tree that was surrounded by darkness.
He took a sniff noticing she smelled of lust. "You smell like sweet lust slayer." He pulled her closer and gave her a long kiss. He grinds his hips and nibbled on her neck. Faith moaned and rocked forward. She smirked seeing he was trying to get her pants undone. She quickly grabbed his arms and tossed him to the ground surprisingly.
The vampire looked up not satisfied that she tossed him to the ground. A minute later he was more surprised as she jumped on him pushing him to the ground. "Bloody hell slayer….are you trying to kill me."
"No." Faith looked down and traced his face with her fingers. "You have unique features cutie."
Spike laughed and looked up at her. Before she knew what was happening the vampire quickly rolled over and undid the button on her top. "Sorry sweet cheeks I like to be the one on top."
Faith moaned as she suddenly felt his face between her breasts. Her bra was open as his tongue traced the swell of her breast. He moved to the one on the right and gently sucked and nibbled on one while he rubbed and teased the other with his finger.
"Faith groans and wraps her hands towards his head pulling him harder towards her. It was like that for a few moments until she starts shivering from his touch. She then noticed that this was the first time someone could make her come without being in her. It felt like every touch was sending her on fire. Every movement was perfect. Then something, she felt so familiar before were his fangs in her neck. She jerked back but Spike held her down and released his fangs from her neck. "Shhh….it's ok." He gently put his fangs in her neck again and gently drank from her. He pulled back a minute later making sure he didn't take much.
The vampire looked down as he watched her come, her eyes closed in pleasure, her body throbbing with lust. He smirked loving the way he controlled her by his touch. This was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen, and it will be more beautiful than anyone ever created by the time he was done with her.
He quickly buttoned her shirt when he suddenly heard a car. He pulled faith up and tapped her cheek. "Come on slayer we are going to have company if you don't bloody wake up."
Faith quickly opened her eyes as she felt the vampire tap her on the cheek. "What did you do to me?" she replied.
The vampire smiled and lifted her chin. "It was all you darling." He was leaning closer towards her when Faith pushed him back.
"I'm not joking, what the hell did you do to me? And don't tell me that was pleasure because that was more than pleasure. That was….."
"The most intense pleasure of lust you ever had." The vampire smirked and leaned towards her ear. "Imagine what sex would be like with me." He smirked wondering if she remembered the first time they had sex. Probably not since he had to make her forget.
Faith took a deep breath and looked at him trying to ignore the fact she wanted to jump his bones now. "Tell me how it's possible that you can do that."
The vampire laughed and stared at her. "Doesn't your watcher tell you about us vampires? Oh that's right she's dead."
Faith stared at him and kicked him causing him to fall to the ground. She quickly straddled him and placed a hand on his throat. "Tell me?"
"Fine, fine I'll tell you…. Don't get all feisty slayer." The vampire smirked. "When vampires sink their fangs into humans it causes an exotic feeling of lust."
Faith smirked not really surprised by this fact. She quickly stood up and stared down at the vampire below her. "Well at least I'm not the only one that likes vampires." She helps him up and he suddenly quickly leaves in a flash hiding behind a tree. Faith looked at him oddly and then at the car pulling up near her. Faith walked over and watched as a familiar woman got out of the car. "Joyce?"
"Faith?" Joyce walked over and waved towards her. "Uh Faith I was wondering if you have seen Buffy…. I…. been looking for her." Joyce said.
"Ah…actually yes." Faith smirked and decided to see how much damage she would do. This might be fun. "I had seen her at the Mansion nearby."
"Mansion?" Joyce said curiously. "The one on Crawford Street?"
"Ah….yes."Faith said. "I think she…..might have someone with her so…..don't tell her it was I ...ok."
Joyce's mind became to flutter as she wondered if Buffy had another guy in her life that she didn't know about. Then again it made her wander if Buffy was lying to her once again. She slightly prayed Faith was wrong, and maybe it was Xander or Willow that was over there. "Oh…ok…..Thanks." Joyce walked away and got in her car. She then drove over towards the mansion hoping and praying her suspicion was wrong.
Faith walked over and smiled as the vampire made his way over towards her. "You are bad…bad girl." The vampire smirked.
"Too bad we don't have a camera." She said.
The vampire laughed and kissed her on the cheek. "You would be surprised." He said.
"Oh…no you didn't." Faith said surprised that he actually bugged the mansion.
"Hay it's a bloody job…besides it pays well."
"Really and you're not supposed you would let me enjoy hearing the slayer get her life ruined would you."
The vampire smiled and pulled her forward. "Why don't I come over later to your apartment, and we can discuss this afterwards and maybe were enjoy it together. You know if it's recorded and all we can send it to her watcher and friends also.
Faith made a gasped and laughed. "That's…really…really terrible for you to do, but I'm not complaining. That's a great idea to me."
"Besides she ruined my life…. All the…. the more to do the same to her." The vamp said.
Faith smiled and kissed him. "Pay back can be a bitch."
The vampire smiled loving this slayer more and more by the day. Knowing that fact he knew it was going to become an addiction, but he didn't mind. He was loves bitch after all.
Joyce makes her way towards the steps wondering if she should reconsider what she was doing. That was she doing the right thing by walking in there and finding out that Buffy had another man in her life or was it wrong to do this. On the other hand, maybe these were all imaginations, and it was just her friends that were over.
She walked into the mansion and looked around noticing someone was living her. It looked very much like when Angel used to live here when he was alive. However, it had more been lighting to it.
She walked over towards the living room and seen a small fire burning in the fire place. She took another step towards the fire place when she heard a familiar name and voice.
"Angel."
Joyce stood there and called out Buffy's name hoping she was hearing things because she could have sworn she heard moaning coming from behind the couch. "Buffy."
Buffy gasped and stared down at Angel that she was straddling. She sat up and heard her mom calling her. Oh god this was not good. Buffy quickly rolled off a naked Angel and peeked her head above the couch. That's when she has seen her mom stare at her quite confused until she looked at her arms and shoulder realizing she didn't have no clothes on.
"Oh god not again Buffy. Please tell me there is not a man behind the couch with you." Joyce said in horror.
"Ah…. "MOM! It's not what you think well…. Maybe…. it is." she muttered. "Just don't panic."
Joyce didn't know what to think. She didn't know if she should flee or see who Buffy had with her behind the couch. "Buffy I can't believe….that…I mean you lied to me again…sneaking around with god who knows."
Buffy glanced down at Angel, who had finally had his pants on now. He leaned up and could tell she was getting highly upset. Angel cursed making sure next time to lock the door.
"Mom I can explain if you just…. Please…. don't' panic…I never did lie to you." Buffy replied getting her shirt on and pants.
"Lied? It doesn't look that way Buffy. It looks like you have found another boy that you didn't even tell me about."
Buffy sighed and was about to say something when Angel squeezed her hands. He stared at her and gave her that look that he was going to tell her. They couldn't keep this secret any longer. Buffy panicked and told him no but Angel stood up. He was fully clothed now as he stared at Joyce. It looks like she was about to faint. "Mrs. Summer she never lied to you…well maybe partly, but it wasn't her fault?"
"Angel?" She was really shocked now because she was staring at a man she thought was dead. Well, he was dead. She even watched her daughter bury him. "How are you alive? You died…I seen Buffy bury you."
"I …. We can explain. I was dead…. And…. I came back…. It's a long story." He looked at Buffy, who stood up finally and stood beside Angel."
"Mom please don't be mad. I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure how you would react." Buffy said.
"It's…..I don't know what to think anymore Buffy. With all this sneaking around and…..
Buffy crossed her arms and stared at her. "Well how about you and Giles was that something?"
"That was not my intention. You know I was drugged. Don't' pin this on me and for that fact I can't believe you never told your watcher about this or your friends. How do you think they're going to react with this news?"
"Maybe it's none of their business." Buffy stammered.
Before it started to get out of control Angel stopped this. "Joyce please can we talk about this tomorrow…at the library. I think it's time for everyone else to know so were discuss it tomorrow.
Buffy looked at him with worry. "Buffy it's time they knew." Angel said.
"I know…it's just."
"I'll be there Buffy….if you want me there." Angel said.
"Are you still a…..vampire." Joyce asked taking a seat on the couch. She was starting to get tired from standing.
Buffy and Angel sat on the couch beside her. "I'm human now…. Don't ask me how because that's another long story." Angel said.
"Human?" Joyce asked surprised.
"Well partly…he still has aspects of the demon." Buffy said.
"And your soul?" Joyce asked.
"It's bound for good." Angel said.
Joyce stared at them and could see the worried look on her daughters face. She felt sad for her daughter really to deal with all of this and then this happens. She then wandered since he was human if Buffy was taking precautions. "Are you taking protection?" Joyce asked suddenly.
Buffy blushed and stared at her mom. "MOM."
"What? I just wanted to make sure your safe and not pregnant or anything." Joyce said.
Buffy looked at Angel actually not even thinking about protection until her mom mentioned it just now. Oh god she had sex with him like eight times, since he came back. They didn't even bother to think about protection because it just never occurred to her. This was not good. "Mom of course were…taking protection."
Angel gulped and cursed himself for not even thinking about it. Oh god she could be pregnant, and they could not know it. They were together like lots of times. He was starting to panic now.
Buffy stared at him as he was staring to get pale. "Angel?"
Angel looked over and smiled at her. "I'm fine…. I…. going to go get a drink." He walked over leaving daughter and mother alone for a moment.
Buffy cursed wondering if he did that on purpose. She stared back at her mother who was looking at the mats lying beside the fire place. "Ah he does a lot of T'ai Chi…. It's…. like yoga."
"Oh that sounds…relaxing." Joyce said wandering just for a moment if that's what the mats were really used for. Oh gosh why did she had to think of that. That just made it worse to know that her only daughter was growing up and dating an older guy way older then her.
Angel came back and sat down three cups of tea. "I wasn't sure if you guys would like any." There was another dull feeling of no communication, so he decided to say something.
"I just wanted to let you know Mrs. Summers that I would never, EVER hurt your daughter. I love her more than you could ever imagine."
"I know…. I can tell...mom's can always tell." She said finally feeling somewhat better with the situation. "The only question is...what happens next?" Joyce said.
"Well, I still have school for the next four months…. Unfortunately, and my slaying job..and Angel can help with that." Buffy started. "He's got plenty of money and that'll be good and it's even better since he can go in the day light now." Buffy said.
"Yes that's true." Joyce noticed that she probably over stayed her welcome. "I should be going." Joyce said.
Buffy stood up and stepped up to her mom. "Mom this is between us until tomorrow... right. You won't mention it to anyone."
"I would never give information like that out. I promise Buffy…..and you can stay with Angel if you would like…..just .....be careful." Joyce said still not sure if it was a good ideal for Buffy to stay with Angel still.
"Are you sure?" Buffy said.
"It's fine….really." Joyce said making her way to the door. Once she left and waved goodbye Angel gently faced her with worry but shook it off not wanting to make her worry. He just had a bad feeling that something was going to happen.
Buffy snuggled up to Angel and laid her head on his shoulder. "Angel …. How can this day get any worse?"
"Buffy love, it's not worse…your mom is fine by this and the fact we have to talk about this demon you mention earlier and possibly Spike being back."Angel said.
"Can we talk about it tomorrow? I'm really tired." Buffy said.
"Angel smiled and kissed her cheek. "Do you want me to carry you to bed?"
Buffy smiled and yawned. "I would love for you to carry me to bed my night and shining armor."
Angel smiled. "Anything for your love."
Faith cursed as she suddenly found herself chained to the bed. She looked up and seen the blonde vampire straddling her to the bed. "What? You did say bring hand cuffs." He said.
"Ya for you blonde not for me." Faith said.
The vampire smiled and leaned down to place a kiss on her pretty little lips when there was a knock on the door. The vampire cursed and got up quickly putting his pants on and covering up Faith. He smirked and looked at the clock having a good idea who it was. It's show time.
He opened the door to be greeted by Faith's watcher. He watched her eyes roam his face and then at Faith that was tied to the bed. The watcher didn't' look too happy but when he looked back, he suddenly found a stake in his chest. Good Thing the bitch missed his heart. He fell on his knees and transformed. "Bloody bitch."
Faith sat up alarmed and broke one of the cuffs on her right wrist. "Mrs. Post what are you doing here?"
"I came to see how you're doing and to find you doing that…thing?" she pointed at the vampire then at her""
"Did he place a thrall on you?"
"A what?" Faith finally broke the last handcuff and wraps the sheet around herself. She then walked up to Mrs. Post and then back at the vampire that was staggering up.
"What are you talking about?" Faith asked.
"Don't' you know who that is?" Mrs. Post replied.
"A very cute vampire?" she said jokingly.
"He's placed a thrall on you." Ms. Post stood up with another stake and went after him. Spike learned up and grabbed the stake breaking it in two pieces. "Opps…what are you going to do now watcher?"
Mrs. Post backs up and was suddenly getting cornered by the vampire. "Please Faith help me, He's a killer…a vampire. You have to kill him."
The vampire looked at the watcher then at Faith. "If you let her go, she'll go to Buffy's watcher than the council." He walked beside Faith and wraps an arm around Faith that seemed to be in deep thought. You don't want that do you Faith?"
"Faith stared at her as it reminded her of her watcher dying in front of her. She then looked at Spike not sure which way to turn.
Spike pulled out a dagger and handed it to Faith. "Come on Faith I know you can do it. The mayor would be so proud of you if you did this."
Faith stared at the dagger and then at her watcher. "Faith NO." Mrs. Post begged.
Spike quickly grabs the watcher's neck and pulled her closer. He transforms and sinks his teeth in her neck. He lets her go as she falls barely alive. The watcher starts crawling towards the door.
The vampire stares at Faith. Faith is stunned but knows that if she gets away it would be the end of her and relationship with him. She quickly grabs Mrs. Post without an reaction and slices her throat. She watches her die then turns around like nothing happens.
The vampire smiles and stares sat her. "The mayor is going to be ecstatic love."
Faith kissed him and tossed him on the bed. "Now you want to tell me your name since you promised."
The vampire smirked. "Most vampires know me as William the bloody, but you can just call me Spike."
"Spike?" She repeated now suddenly curious as she heard that name from Buffy's watcher. He was supposed to awaken a demon." She smirked letting it forget her mind as Spike was pleasuring her body. She laughed and decided to discuss that later. To hell with everything else this was heaven.
It was around midnight when Angel quietly snuck off into the night. He hated to leave Buffy alone at the mansion, but he had to do this. He had to find out if it was true that is ignoring chide, Spike is really back in town and planning on awaking Drakon. If so he would find his ignoring child and place a stake in his dead heart like he should have done months ago.
He signed and stopped at the Willies Pub. He looked in and realizes that the place was packed and full of vampires and demons inside. He realized if he wanted a straight answer from most of these vampires he's going to have to act like Angelus. He just hoped they couldn't tell he was human, or he would be in some major trouble then.
He opens the door and sees everyone stare at him. Some are shock and some are quite scared to see him, especially for the ones that knew he died. Some of them looked like they seen a ghost. Angel smirked coldly just like Angelus would and walked towards the bar.
Angel laughed as he smelled the fear on Willy. It even was more fun when he looked at Willy and could tell. It looked like he was going to faint.
Willy was just turning around when he jumped back suddenly as he seen Angelus standing there in front of him. "Angelus? What the…. I…. heard you would dead." Willy said.
Angel smirked and wraps an arm around Willy playing along. "It's a long story you know…. Killed by the slayer and then just back suddenly. Maybe it's because I can't be killed just that easily." Angel smirked.
Willy looks at him nervously. "Ah that kind of makes you….invisible then." Willy said.
Angel shrugged and looked back at him."So, Willy," Angel' voice dripped with concern. "You want to tell where my arrogant Chide is…..You know William the bloody?"
Willy shook his head and tried to think of a way out of this. There was no way he could tell anyone. If he did he would burn literally. "I'm not sure…haven't seen him in months."
Angel could tell he was hiding something and decided to up the notch some more. He grabbed Willy's neck and slammed it on the table. He then transformed into his demon and looked to his right noticing one demon left as everyone else was staring at him scared. "I think you had better spill and tell me what you know about Spike."
Willy gulped and could tell if he didn't tell him something he was going to piss his pants. "I can't tell. If they find out, there kill me, probably burn me alive."
"They who?" Angel growled. He had a bad feeling about this that Spike was working with someone more dangerous than ever.
"No! Please!" Willy shouted. He tried his best to scramble away from the furious vampire. "The last time they were here they killed two of my clients and told me not to say anything."
"When was this?" Angel asked, menacingly. He let go of Willy's neck and grabbed his shirt.
"A couple of days ago." Willy whimpered. "All I know it's something big, and they mentioned a ware house on the east side of town." Willy whispered.
Angel signed and let him go. He fixed his shirt and patted him on the back. "Thanks for your help Willy." Angel replied in an almost polite voice. He turned and left before some idiot thought it was a good idea to fight him. Besides that he did have one vampire try to ask for his autograph. He shook his head and cursed Angelus for being famous just because he was a killer. What the heck was happening to this world?
He walked out the door and started to make his way to his car when he noticed someone was behind him. He quickly turned around and seen a young girl. She had dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. She had on black pants and a dark blue peasant shirt. She looked like she was about twenty one years old.
"Can I help you?" Angel asked looking at her curiously.
"You……you have a soul?" The girl stared at him and tried to touch his face, but he backed away. "I'm sorry. It's just I heard about you in the books and too see you now so… polite. It's strange."
Angel smirked and stared at the girl. "Ah….I guess you heard of Angelus. I'm not that person anymore."
"I can see that." The girl said.
"How can you tell…are you"….
"I'm part human." The girl said trying to change the subject. "I can also see you have a mate, such a lucky girl."
Angel smiled. "Yes she is…..May I ask what your name is?"
"It's Elizabeth…..I came to find you cause…. I…. need your help." She looked around and noticed the area began to change. She could sense a strong vampire nearby. "I…..have to go."
"Wait." Angel watched amazed as she suddenly disappeared in front of him. He looked around wondering how she did that. Maybe it was magic.
He then left wondering about the young girl, and what she needed help with. She seemed really scared. Scared like something was after her, and she was always on the move. That thought alone was making him wonder what could have her so scared.
The next morning Angel awoke to hear the sound of water running. Buffy must be up and taking a shower. He thought. He yawned and slowly got up and out of bed. He looked over and was blinded by the sunlight pouring into his bedroom. It was still so odd seeing him stare at the sun and not watching his skin burn from it. However, he did have a lot of experience in the sun with the ring of Amara. He was glad that he didn't need that ring anymore to have a normal life.
"He looked up as he heard the water being turned off and the sound of Buffy groaning in pain. Angel quickly rushed in to see Buffy bent over the toilet and puking.
Angel knelt beside her worried. He got a couple of tissues and wiped off her face when she leaned up. "Buffy are you ok…. You…. look sick?"
Buffy nodded, "I think I'm a little nauseous."
"Is this the first time you got sick?" Angel asked wondering if his suspicion is right or not.
"This is the second time…actually. Why what are you thinking?" she asked and looked at him realizing what he must be thinking. "No…no….it can't be. I mean being sick can be related to tons of other symptoms like…. The…. flu, food poison, allergies…..or…
"Pregnant." Angel replied seeing her shock face. He looked down wondering if Buffy didn't want kids. She was acting like she didn't want kids, but he always thought she would love to have children. "You don't want kids?"
Buffy looked at him and seen that concern and confused stare. "No, that's not what I met. I want kids just I think it's too soon." Buffy said.
Angel sighed wondering how would she take it if she was.
Before Buffy could find out what he was going to tell her she quickly stood up as she heard the clock rang. "Oh gosh I'm going to be late for school." She quickly got up and ran to the bedroom picking up her backpack.
Angel got up and followed her. "Are you going to your mom's first?" He asked.
"Ah yes…..I don't think it would be a great idea go straight to school. She might think I skipped or something." Buffy said.
Angel smiled and picked up her other bag. "I'll take you to your mom's."
"Buffy smiled and could see the worried look on his face. She decided not to mention it now, but she will.
Jenny was making her way to Giles's office when she seen him come out. He looked very upset and confused as he was reading the daily newspaper. "Is something wrong dear?"
Giles sighed after a few agonizing stares at what he was reading was true.
"Mrs. Post is dead" he pauses for a second. "Someone killed her." His voice is calm as she stared back at Jenny. "Her throat was slashed."
"Oh my god." Jenny felt awful for the woman. She didn't like her much because of her attitude, but she wondered why anyone would want to kill her.
"The council called and they are expected to come here in a few days to talk also." Giles said.
"The council?" Jenny said.
"Yes, I have no idea why….Any ways…. just after the call I got this package in the mail. It has my name on it but no return address." Giles said.
Jenny stared at the package and hand it back to Giles. "It does look suspicious."
"Yes it does but it could be anything….hopefully not something dangerous." Giles spoke.
Jenny took the package and looked at once more. She then said a few words in Latin that he didn't understand. She then opened one side as Giles stared at her with concern. "What? You don't think someone would actually place a bomb in here to kill us."
"No, I was just taking….precautions." Giles said.
"Well I was taught a lot of magic so it is useful a lot." Jenny said.
"I know quite a few myself. Maybe we can trade spells sometimes." Giles said. Jenny smiled and took what look like a VHS Tape out of the package. "A tape?" Jenny looked at it again.
"Why would they send us a tape?" Giles said.
"I have no clue." Jenny took the tape and placed it in the VHS. She hit play as she recognized the place automatically. It was Angel's mansion and Joyce was there.
Giles watched as it showed the living room. There was a fire place burning, and it seemed like there was someone living there. He watched as Joyce called out Buffy's name. Soon after he has seen Buffy peek her head from above the couch. "Ah maybe we shouldn't watch this." Giles said suddenly feeling like he was invading someone's privacy. He grabbed the remote and was about to hit the stop button when a familiar man appeared in front of Joyce. The remote fell from his hand and he looked at the vampire on the screen. "Angel?"
"I thought he was dead." Jenny said feeling somewhat scared and not sure how to feel about this. For one thing, she didn't know if this was Angel or Angelus. He acted like Angel and sounded like Angel but ever since the day he drained her. She still frightened of him.
All of a sudden, Giles quickly turned the TV off. "I can't believe she did this. She lied to me and." He hesitates for a second before going on to say "How long was she hiding him from us……and how could she disobey her duty on keeping him….he's a vampire."
"No." She said and turned the TV back on. She turned it up as Angel talked. He mentioned he was human and his soul is bound. Jenny turned it off then as she looked at Giles. He seemed to be taking it somewhat hard. "Giles are you ok?"
"I don't know. I can't think…. I…. just can't get out of my mind that she lied to me Jenny, lied to me about him."
Jenny placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "She loves him…Giles. Love can make you do crazy things."
Giles looked at her and smiled at a little because her words were true. Love can make you do crazy things. He remembers well when Jenny was a vampire; he had captured her and changed her back. Looking back at it now it was a very crazy thing to do. However, if he had to do it all over again he would do it. Maybe that's how Buffy felt and she did what she had to do.
Willow didn't know what to think. Giles told them what was on the tape he even showed them. Poor Buffy she really did feel bad for her.
"What should we do about Buffy?" Xander asked the group sitting around the table in the Library. Besides that he was highly irritated from finding out Buffy was hiding dead boy all this time.
"We can only let her come to terms with what we've learned. She is….. Unstable," Giles explained. "Or maybe we're wrong…. On…. the tape, he said he was human."
"Human?" Xander said. "That's not possible is it?"
"Actually, it is possible," replied to Giles, "It happened to a vampire centuries ago."
Xander turned to Willow and Giles. "How can you be so calm about this? It's Angelus. Evil, bloodthirsty, tried-to-kill-us-multiple-time. Not to mention Jenny."
"Xander." Giles scolded.
"No… this is ridiculous. I'm going to go find Buffy and talk to her." He grabbed his coat and was about to leave when the door opened. Xander backed up and took a seat deciding to calm his nerves before saying anything to Buffy.
Buffy stepped in and seen the glare at her, especially from Xander. She was suddenly glad she told Angel to stay home. Something told her that something was up, and maybe it wasn't' the best day to tell them yet. "What's with all the tragedy masks?"
"Buffy….maybe you should take a seat." Giles said.
"Ok, what's going on?" Buffy said.
"We know….. Angel is alive." Giles said.
Buffy takes a deep breath quiet shock wondering how he found out. Did her mom tell them? Anger started to fuel her if that was the case. "Did my mother tell you?" Buffy asked.
"No" Giles said surprised that Joyce knew about his. "Someone sent us a tape with no return address."
"A tape." Who would do such a thing she wondered. The only person that knew was her mom and Willow. Willow couldn't possible do this to her would she.
"You must've known it was wrong seeing Angel or you wouldn't have hidden him from all of us." Giles said.
I was going to tell you, I was. I-it was just that I... I didn't know why he came back. Then I found out why…..He came back because The Powers that be" sent him back. They told us we are met to be together.
"For what? For Angel to go psycho again the next time you give him a happy?" Xander said.
Buffy can't believe Xander's callousness. "What? How can you say that? He's human now"…
"And still has his demon." Xander said.
"His soul is bound." Buffy said angry.
"And I wander how many times you tired that out." Xander cursed.
"Xander." Willow shouted his name not believing he just said that.
Buffy was on the verge of tears. She couldn't believe that her friend was saying this to her. "At least I'm happy and that all you can do is complain and bitch about my life." Buffy stood up and was heading towards the door. "You are supposed to be my friend."
Jenny walked out of the office now, and she heard the commotion. She could tell Buffy was the verge of tears. Jenny quickly walked over and placed a hand on Giles's shoulder. "Xander sit down." Jenny scowled.
"We are not blaming you Buffy…. I'm not and I'm the one person that should, but I won't. "I know how much you love him, and I'm not going to lecture you on this and everyone else should be ashamed of them self." jenny said.
Giles looked down and back at Jenny, who walked over to Buffy to confront her. However, before she could do that Xander had to say the wrong thing which was a big mistake for him.
"Buffy I hate seeing you do this to yourself. Angel is still a monster to me, and if you go back to him, he's going to ruin your life." Xander said. "It would be better if he stayed dead in the ground." Xander mumbled.
"WHAT?....What did you say?" Buffy turned towards him her eyes blazing, and before he could say it again she snapped.
Xander didn't even see it coming. None of them did. One second he was screaming at the top of his lungs, the next thing he found his face hit the table.
"Let me make this very clear to you Xander," Buffy said trying to stay calm. "Angel is a bigger person than you're ever be. If I ever had to choice between you the selfish bratty little boy with emotional problems and the selfless man who risks everything for me and the world. Take a guess who would be the winner."
Buffy pushed him away and pointed at him. "It wouldn't be you. You're not even the friend, I thought you would be. Your worse than Angelus and if you say one more thing about him, I swear you won't have a leg."
Buffy was still trying to stay calm, but she was shaking and there were tears pouring down her face. "Sorry Giles."
Willow confronted her and placed an arm around her and glared daggers at Xander. "I think you should leave now Xander." Willow said still not able to believe that her boyfriend and friend said this to her. She was sure to have a long lecture with him later.
Buffy pulled away from the hug and started to leave, but she suddenly became dizzy and fainted into a pair of strong arms wraps around her.
Everyone except Willow gasped as Angel walked in and grabbed Buffy before she fell to the ground. He was standing there with Buffy in his arms as the sun hit him. He quickly looked up to see the shocked faces of the watcher and the arrogant boy Xander that he wanted to beat to the ground. Even no Buffy told him to stay home, but he couldn't. He had a bad feeling something was going to happen so he followed her. And he heard every damn word that Xander said to her. He was just still surprised that he was not in game face.
"An….Angelus" Giles quickly grabbed a cross while Xander was still surprised that his friend threaten him. "So you finally decided come in and face us…deadboy." Xander mocked.
Angel growled and slowly sat Buffy on the ground. Before Xander knew what was happening, he ran and lifted Xander off the ground by his neck. Xander gasped as he stared into Angel's golden eyes. He grumped and started struggling.
"Angel please…he didn't mean it." Willow begged.
"Giles and Jenny were close beside them. Giles still had the cross in his hand but he didn't think it would help since he was indeed human. He could tell by the sun shining on him and not burning him up in flames.
Angel stared at him and shook him hard knowing if looks could kill the boy would already be dead.
"Listen here you arrogant little boy. I'm never leaving Buffy ever again. I know you think I'm not worthy of her and maybe your right, but she doesn't care. She accepts me for who I am. I'm human, which makes me more than I was, and if I ever see you talk to her that way again I might have to remind you of what I'm really capable of." He then dropped the boy and ran to Buffy. He gently picked her up in his arms.
He stared at Giles and Jenny staring at them. "I'm still Angel and always would be. I'm sorry for what I did Giles, and I'm sorry for what I did to you Jenny. He then left in a flash leaving them to stare at him flabbergasted.
"Xander sat on the floor still trying to get his breathe. To say the least he wasn't happy but wasn't going to let it consume him. He looked at Willow for support, but she just stared at him hard.
"I'm sorry."
Willow shook her head and stared down at him. "I'm not the one that you should be telling sorry too. She then walked away leaving him and Giles to stare at her. She had to find Buffy…..Had to find out if she was ok or not and if anything happen to her. There was going to be hell to pay.
