Lyrics by breaking Benjamin
But remember the time I told you the way that I felt
That I'd be lost without you and never find myself
Let's hold onto each other above everything else
Start over, start over
Something was different than the last time she was here. The place had a vivid feeling to it. Like it was alive and she was pulled into a trance. The place was hot, exotic and tense as she watched people danced around her. Their bodies were pressed against their partner and swayed with a tension of never leaving each other's skin connected with each other.
Close your eyes, so many days go by. Easy to find what's wrong, harder to find what's right.
She then noticed she was alone swaying and dancing to the beat of the music. It was like her body had a mind of its own as it moved to the tune of the music. She then looked down and at her clothes. To say the least she wondered how she got this clothes on because she doesn't remember putting something on so revealing.
She had on a green tank top on that lifted her breast. It was hold by two small straps. Her hair was up leaving her neck bare, and she had on a short green skirt. She looked around noticing again everyone else was so entwined with themselves, they didn't even look at her, which was good. She looked totally like a slut in this. What the heck was she thinking, or maybe she was drinking when she decided to wear this. She didn't know but she knew she had to get out of here before someone has from school seen her.
She took a step back when she suddenly bumped into a strong pair of arms. Her muscles shifted as she relaxed into the body next to her. She recognized the body pressed against her back. It was strong, firm and muscular. Of course she also had that tingling feeling that was in her chest.
His arms wrap around her waist as it lay on her flat stomach. Buffy smiled and pressed her back against his. "Angel." she said embarrassed.
He didn't answer her instead she felt his lips on the nape of her neck. She hummed and leaned against him as her body started to sway with the music.
I believe in you, I can show you that I can see right through all your empty lies.
"Angel, what are you doing here?" she whispered.
Angel smiled and swayed his hips with hers. "I missed you, had to come find you." He swayed a bit then he turned her around staring at her with pleasure. He caressed her arm and trailed it towards her neck until his fingers traced her face. "So perfect."
Buffy hummed and smiled as a sudden wave of pleasure swept within her. She then felt his body pressed her body against his. Her body felt like it was on fire, like it was traveling in her veins until it reached her heart making it thumb loudly. She moaned and wraps a leg around his thigh.
I won't stay long, in this world so wrong. Don't you dare to look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight?
"We should leave." She mumbled pressing against him. "Need you." she whispered in his ear. "Now."
He smiled and wraps one hand around her shoulder and one around her leg. He presses a kiss to her neck and leans closer towards her.
Buffy smiles and looks around noticing now everyone around her was staring at her. Her face blushed realizing her and Angel were in a tender position. She turned to move but Angel held her still as he nibbled on her neck. "Angel."
She looked again around noticing everyone she ever knew from school was here. Willow and Xander were on the far right dancing and smiling at her. Giles and Jenny were on the far left sitting by a table and glaring at her a little too happy. Cordelia was near the center dancing with someone she never met before. Her mother Joyce was standing near Giles smiling at her.
Buffy stared back at Angel to try and pull him to the door, but he stopped her when he pulled her back and kissed her on the lips. The kiss was short and was interrupted by a familiar laugh. She looked to her right to see a cloaked man dressed in black with Faith standing beside him, and she was holding something, something small.
"Faith?" She looked at her closely noticing she was holding a baby. Confused she walked over as she watched the man beside Faith take the hood off. She gasped and glared daggers at the man. "Spike."
"Hello slayer. I see once again you couldn't stay away from my sire's pants." He laughed again.
Buffy was furious. She marched closer towards him when something pulled her back. She turned and was staring at her lover only to realize it wasn't him, it was Angelus. His eyes were glowing deep red instead of yellow as he stared at her. He laughed and pulled her closer. ""Lust…..god I miss that smell." He laughed again and pulled her body against his. "Don't worry Buff, I'm not going to kill you."
"How?" She asked still surprised that he was back, the one thing that she feared. Buffy yanked her arms away from him and looked around to notice everyone was still standing there. No one was moving, it was like they were hypnotized. "What did you do?" She asked Angelus.
Faith smirked and took a step forward. "We didn't' do anything Buff……it was all you……..it was all your fault." Faith backed up and her faced shifted into a vampire. She smirked back at Buffy's shocked face as she cradled the child.
"Oh god." Buffy gasped as she looked around noticing all the men around her changed into a vampire including her watcher. "Giles."
She then looked back at Faith that still had the child in her arms. There was something about the child that felt like she knew the child. "Give me the child." Buffy replied.
"No….. This child is the start of our new world." Faith smiled. "You can't have it all Buff."
Buffy then looked behind faith as something big stepped beside Spike. She couldn't see his face, she could only see the shape of its body. It was huge not to mention it was seven feet tall and had horns on its head. To say the least she didn't want to meet that thing in a dark alley.
Buffy was about to make a leap towards Faith when Angelus grabbed her throat. He pulled her back and wraps one hand around her shoulder and the other on her neck.
Buffy's stares in to his eyes suddenly frighten as she faced her lover and demon again. "Don't fight it lover…..this is how it should be." She then felt his fangs in her neck, the room started to spin and then darkness over took her.
Buffy awoke gasping as she groggily noticed Angel was beside her. He was sleeping and she thanked god that what just happened was just a dream. A very bad nightmare that she hoped she won't be dreaming about ever again. However, the dream still made her wonder about the child Faith was holding in her dream and why she had a connection with the child. She then wondered why Angelus was in her dream and why his eyes were red. Besides that there was no way angel could lose his soul now. Third what the hell was that thing standing behind Spike.
She sighed and decided to forget about it when she noticed something moving beside her. She looked over and seen Angel sleeping peacefully beside her. His head was resting on the bed beside her face. His eyes were close and he looked so peaceful. It was the first time she watched him sleep peaceful. She then looked around noticing she was not home in her comfortable bed. She was in a hospital. Damn it she hated hospitals.
Buffy stared at Angel and fluffed his spiked hair. He stirred and looked up at her. He smiled and pulled her in for a hug before she could say anything.. "Thank god you're ok. I thought you were never going to wake up. You had me so worried." Angel said holding her.
Buffy smiled and wraps an arm around him. "I'm fine, I'm so glad to see you." She said relieved that it was just a dream. "It's not like I was out for months…. Right…. Besides that who took me to the hospital?" She asked staring at him hard.
Angel chucked. "You were out for two hours, and I had to take you to the hospital. I was scared something happened to you." He said.
"Two hours?" she repeated suddenly remembering what happen earlier. She had an outburst on her friends and watcher and then to make it worse she threatens her friend Xander. She did feel bad but he had it coming."Where's everyone, is my mom here?"
Angel smiled and looked at her wondering if she was going to get mad at sending them all home. "I sent your friends and watcher home. Your mom and Willow are in the lounge." He looked at her innocently.
"And Xander?" she asked.
"Still has a leg until he says something like that again." Angel mumbled. Buffy stared at him shocked and gave him that glare. "What? I didn't hurt him…I just threatened him."
"Well he did deserve it but no hurting him….even if he's a stubborn fool." Buffy said.
Angel was about to laugh when the door suddenly opened. It was Willow.
"Buffy." Willow smiled and walked over towards her. "I'm so happy your ok. How are you feeling?"
"Oh as good as I can be." Buffy mumbled. Willow leaned over and gave her a big hug. "It will be better when I get out of this bed." She started to get up when the door suddenly opened. It was Dr. Wilson and her mother Joyce.
Joyce smiled and walked over towards her daughter. "Buffy, I was so worried. How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine…. Feel…. great enough to get out of this hospital." She looked at her mom who was smiling but the doctor was looking at her and Angel with concern.
"I don't think you should leave yet Ms. Summers. I need to run a few more tests." The doctor said.
"Why?" Buffy asked. "What for?"
"I just wanted to make sure there was no injury to the baby when you fell." The doctor said.
Buffy's eyes widened as well as her mother and boyfriend. "Wh…what?"
"You're pregnant Mrs. Summers. I thought you knew." Dr. Wilson said surprised that the young girl didn't know. "You're about a month past your cycle."
Willow looked at Buffy in total shock. The image of her best friend pregnant was shocking enough. That she might be pregnant by a vampire with a soul boggled her mind. Willow took a deep breath realizing the situation her friend was in also. The doctor just told her mom also. This was not good.
"Wh…what?" Buffy said again still confused as she stared at Angel, who seemed to be somewhat shocked, and he looked like he was starting to brood. Buffy rolled her eyes wondering if he knew already. She then looked at her mom that was staring at Angel like she wanted to pummel him. Buffy sighed glad her watcher and her friend Xander wasn't here. She would hate to hear what they had to say. At least she had Willow to support her.
That evening after a boring day of talking and arguing with her mother, she decided Split and go to at Angel's place for awhile. However, that didn't mean she could hide forever. She had to face them sometime especially since her watcher, friends and mother were downstairs waiting for her.
Angel smiled and stroked her arm. He then pressed his ear up against Buffy's stomach and listened. "I can't believe I'm going to be a father." He smiled still not able to believe that this has happened.
"We're going to have a baby together?" Buffy said happy but was still scared for her and her child.
Angel kissed her again and smiled. "I never thought I could feel like this. You can't imagine how happy you made me."
"No I think I do." She smiled and kissed him on the lips. A few minutes later she slowly sits up and leaned her head against Angel's chest. "You know I'm surprised my mother is not up here lecturing us and threaten you again."
"Maybe she's changed." Angel chuckled.
Buffy laughed. "Ya sure." She then looked back at Angel feeling suddenly worried about the situation she was in. She was pregnant and the doctor did a second test to prove it. She was scared and didn't know what to think. She never would have thought she would be pregnant. She is a slayer and she could only imagine what would happen if this gets out in the demon world. She looked up at Angel and held him closer. "What am I going to do Angel? I mean could you imagine if the things I fight every night found out. They would kill me and the child."
"That is not going to happen." Angel said holding her close. He would kill anyone that even comes close to harm her or his child. "You don't have to worry about that." He said.
"How can you say that? Everyone will notice eventually when I'm like a balloon." Buffy pouted.
Angel snickered. "You're not going to be a balloon Buffy. You're going to be the most beautiful girl ever."
Buffy rolled her eyes and stared at him. "Besides that what do you mean don't worry about it. Did you do something I don't know about?" Buffy said noticing the way his eyes were moving. Usually when he looked away, she knew right then he was lying about something. "Spill cryptic guy."
"What makes you think I'm lying?" He smirked until Buffy gave him that look. "Last night I went to Willies bar. I wanted to prove that Spike was back." Angel said.
Buffy crossed her arms and looked at him noticing he was hiding something else. "And.."
Angel glanced at her and smirked realizing he can't hide stuff from her that easy. "Spike is somewhere in Sunnydale. There was also a young girl outside of the bar, not entirely human. She said her name is Elizabeth, and she knew who I was. She was also scared. She ran off before I could help her."
"A girl that wasn't human…and scared? Sounds like a vampire but vampires don't run off scared." Buffy said confused.
"I know that's what had me confused? I never felt anything nearby so I have no clue what it was she was frightened of." Angel said.
She was about to let out another comment when she heard her mom called her name. "Buffy."
Angel chuckled and took her hand kissing it. "I guess it's time to meet the firing squad." Buffy grumbled.
Angel helped her stand and led her to the doorway. "It will be fine Buffy. I'll be with you every step of the way."
Buffy smiled feeling somewhat confident but that didn't mean she was still nervous to see what her friends would think.
Joyce was pacing around the living room as Jenny and Giles looked on in confusion. Angel sat on the other side of the couch as Buffy sat beside him.
"Buffy," the Watcher said uneasily and still curious to find out what happen at the hospital. Joyce wasn't saying anything and it was making him worry if something was wrong, "Is there something wrong Buffy? Were you hurt?" He asked.
"no...nothing like that." Buffy said glancing at her watcher then Xander, who kept glaring at Angel and her.
Joyce noticed the tension and the worry on her daughters face. She was petrified by the situation she was in an Angel seemed to be handling it well. She had her differences with him and still wasn't sure if he was right for her, but she'll give him a chance. After all her daughters loved him more than life itself, it made her wished she had a love like that. So perfect that it amazed her at times and made her realize how grownup her daughter was. She was very proud of her.
Buffy opened her mouth but her hands were holding Angel's tightly. Angel noticed how nervous Buffy was getting so he decided to say it even know he didn't mean to it just came out.
"Were having a baby." Angel said bluntly. He watched his eyes seeing Buffy's eyes dart back forth to her watcher and friends. He looked at Giles noticing the surprised glare. Even no Giles wasn't technically Buffy's father; he wasn't surprised if he threatened him with a baseball bat.
"You're pregnant." Giles's mouth opened and closed. "This is….. I mean there has never been a slayer pregnant before." Giles was slight angered but amazed to. "I….
Although Xander wasn't having none of it. It was bad enough to find the demon kissing his best friend and now to find out, she's pregnant by the demon. It just made it even worse. "I can't believe you…"
Angel growled and stared at Xander ready to jump him. Buffy placed a hand on Angel's chest calming him down. Willow glared at him hard. "Xander, please can't you just see that he's different person. He's changed and he's human."
Xander stood up not able to do this anymore. His girlfriend was even disagreeing with him. "I….Can't take this…. I…. need some air." He left walking out the front door. He took a deep breath and walked home hoping this was just another terrible nightmare he was having.
Willow sighed and decided just to let him go. Maybe giving him some air would help. "Don't worry about him, he'll come around eventually." Willow said.
Angel rolled his eyes glad that Xander left before he did something he would regret. He watched Giles get up and went to the kitchen, but somehow he knew the watcher just had to take a moment of breath. He could tell by his face that he was still trying to deal with this.
Angel squeezed Buffy's hand and whispered to her. "I'll be back." Buffy watched him go as Jenny stared at Angel nervously as he walked past. "Jenny you know he's a different person like before right…..He just wants to talk." Buffy said.
Jenny smiled slightly. "I know I'm just trying to get use to this after…..what happen." She grimaced trying to block out the awful image of Angelus fangs in her neck draining her. At times if it felt so hard to forget what he did to her and now knowing he was back. It was still hard for her to get use to, but she was trying. Trying to get use it for Buffy and Giles sake. She just hopes she can cope with this a little while longer before she gets a nervous breakdown.
Angel walked into the kitchen to see Giles by the stove fixing a cup of coffee. He leaned against the wall and stared at Giles knowing it was now or never to say what he wanted to say. He had to get this off his conscious, or it would consume him. "I remember…" he said slowly trying to say the words because it was so hard. He remembers everything he did to Giles. "I remember what I did to you and Jenny."
Giles looked down and took a deep breath trying not to show hurt, anger at the man beside him. He swallowed and looked back at the man realizing that he really shouldn't feel this way about him, but every time he has seen his face, he picture's Angelus torturing him again.
Angel glanced down at Giles' hands, there on the table. The scars were still there, and it made him feel disgusted that once again that his hands did this, that his demon did this to hurt Buffy.
"I know nothing I say will be enough. I know I don't deserve forgiveness, and I will probably never would but…..I wanted to say at least…. I'm sorry for what I did to you and Jenny."
Giles didn't say nothing he just stared at Angel trying to hold back the emotions and anger he was feeling. It was like his mouth wanted to say something but nothing came out.
"There's nothing I can do to make it right and god knows that I don't' even deserve to be a father to Buffy. After what I did to Buffy and everyone here I'm still confused to why I'm back."
Giles opened his mouth carefully and looked back at Angel. "You're right. There isn't nothing you can do, but you have a chance to make up for it. You can be a father and maybe even make up for the crimes you did in your past, maybe then you're have your redemption."
"I only hope that will come true." Angel said.
Giles turned towards Angel and gave him a simple statement. "There is something you can do, though."
"Anything,"
Faith smiled as she was just leaving the nearest coffee shop. She was making her way past Wilkins Street when a limo sudden pulled near her. She took a step back cautious and glanced at the man in her car. One guy got out of the car and opened the door for her. Faith glared at him and then at the man in the back seat. "Mayor Wilkins."
"Faith, please do have a seat. We have a lot to discuss." He said.
Faith smirked, walked over and took a seat. The man closed the door and got back in the driver seat.
"So what's the new plan daddy-o?"
"Mayor Wilkins smirked and stared at her. "I need you to find the sword that was blessed by the knight who first slew Drakon."
"And how do I find this sword." Faith said twilling the knife she had in her hands.
"Buffy has it but there is a twist." Mayor Wilkins said.
"Really, I'm up for it." Faith said.
"It has to have the blood of someone good and pure." He smiled wandered if Faith would figure out who it was.
She was suddenly intrigued now and had a good idea who it was. "Let me guess, little miss goody two shoes."
"Oh yes, she would be the one." Mayor Wilkins said. "Spike will meet up with you at the Cemetery afterwards."
Faith smirked. "Well this should be fun; I'm always up for a challenge."
"And that's why your perfect in every way my Faith." Wilkins said.
"Oh…" Giles moved further into the living room as he seen Jenny come out of the dining room. She looked like she had a pit of relieve taking off her shoulder. She sat down beside him and took a breath of relieve.
"How did it go?" Giles asked
"It was….hard for him. He had tears in his eyes, begged forgiveness. He truly is not the monster we thought he was." Jenny said feeling somewhat bad for what happen to him. "He was cursed and in some ways it is my fault since it was my clan that cursed him."
Giles took her hand and squeezed it. "It's not your fault; your people did this, not you. You have no reason to blame yourself.
"I know." Her dark eyes glared up at him wanting to tell him she forgave him, but she decided not to. She knew Giles did not completely forgive him yet. Giles had to deal with this in his own way. "Did you miss me?"
"Of course." Jenny smiled at him again, "He kissed her on the cheek just as Buffy walked in giving them the glare.
"I thought we were researching not kissy moments." Buffy said walking into the library with a book in her hand. Willow walked in and giggled. She sat down by Buffy at the table.
"So what's up? Found anything else that I should know about." Buffy asked.
Giles looked up and seen that curious look on her face again. "I'm researching on a book Jenny found. Its bits and pieces of the codex but not the whole book. Do you think you could ask Angel to see if he still has the codex?" Giles asked.
"The codex?' You actually think it's still around." Buffy asked remembering the time Spike stole it and gave it to Angelus. Well, that's what they think happened.
"It's possible it was never destroyed. The book was very liable, they could have kept it." Giles said.
"Possible…… Has anyone seen Angel?" Buffy asked suddenly noticing she hasn't seen him in a while.
Giles cleared his throat and stared at her hoping she would't be mad at him for this. He just thought it had to be done and maybe this would help Angel in some way of his guilt. "He's at the cemetery."
"The cemetery during the day…. Is…. there something you want to tell me Giles?" Buffy replied looking at him with concern.
"He wanted something to relieve his pain of his past of what his demon did. He went to the only place he could." Giles said.
Buffy sighed standing up and hoping she wasn't going to find a mope Angel now. "I'd better go find him before gets' mope. See Ya later." She started to walk out when Joyce came from the kitchen. "Honey, where are you going?"
Buffy turned and glanced at her mother. "I need to find Angel."
"Ah, I could drive you." Joyce said suddenly standing up and grabbing her car keys.
"Mom it's just around the next corner. I can do this." Buffy said.
"Buffy you're pregnant and it could be dangerous. Please let me take you."
Buffy rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Fine but no lectures please." Joyce smiled and left with her knowing this was going to be a long couple months until her uneasiness was gone. Because all she could think about was keeping her and her grandchild safe. She was the slayer for one thing, and she knew her life was more in risk now than ever before. Knowing that she would do whatever it takes to keep her daughter from harm.
Angel remembered everything he did in his life. He especially remembered what his demon did for years. He had been tortured, maimed, raped, and killed, for a century and a half. And he remembered everything and now looking down at Kendra's grave made him feel even worse.
She was a slayer and it was his fault, she was dead. It wasn't by his hands, but it was by his chided Spike. Furthermore, it just makes it obvious that it was his fault and would always would be. Not to mention he killed three other people when he was turned too.
He stared back down at it. A piece of stone, a name and a date. This was all that was left except for the memories of people he hurt and killed for his own pleasure.
It was hard for him to carry this burden around. The only thing that made him move on was because of his love for Buffy without her, he would be nothing.
He stayed like this for a moment before he fell to his knees by the grave. He traced his fingers on the stone then leaned closer. "Forgive me." He whispered. He sat like that for another minute before he felt a familiar presence near him. "Buffy." He stood up and turned around to see her smiling at him. He looked over towards the entrance to see her mom in the car "Are you ok?" She asked. He looked sad like he's been moping and brooding all day.
"I'm fine…. It…. was something I needed to do on my own." He said.
Buffy looked at the gravestone remembering Kendra the other slayer. She was tough she had to admit that. She would surely never forget her. "I understand." She then took his hand and decided to take him someplace to get his mind off of things. "Come on I think I can help with the brooding."
Angel smiled and took her hand.
Later that evening in a building outside of town, Mayor Wilkins held a scroll in his hand.
It read "To thee, he is known as the raze. Thou you must aid him to rise or be killed in the process. Once he has been raised and completely strong, you will be immortal. No stake can kill you as all other creatures will worship upon your mortal kind for eternity,"
It was a choice and a gift who found this scroll. It was always a myth a fairy tells about the first vampire and how it came to this earth. No one really believed this and at first he was even skeptical until a few days ago Spike "William the bloody" came to his door step and offered him a preposition that he couldn't refuse When he first told him he thought he was bluffing until he showed him the scroll. He was amazed because the scroll was supposedly lost, and at one time it was hidden and the only people that knew about it were the Order of Aurelius's family. The only ones that were alive were Angelus, Spike and Dru. Getting information out of Spike wasn't that hard when you can bargain him with money or other stuff. As long as he got what he wanted, he didn't care what Spike got.
The only thing he wanted was for the ascension to go smoothly and the only way that was going to happen is to find Drakon. But he had the next best thing he had his son. He was cast in stone from head to toe and he was at least seven feet tall. He was the main key to awaken his father now he just needed the blood of a slayer and everything would go as planned.
Although the story of how Drakon got destroyed by his only son fascinated him still. The stories would tell of a demon that had two horns on its head his feet cloven were huge not to mention it nearly stood eight feet tall. His son was human, mostly, unless you wanted to add the fact, there was a demon that was in him. He was nothing like his father through. His father was mean, hostile and had no aspects of desire of any type but to rule and kill like any other creature. His son, on the other hand, was different slightly. He would feed and kill others, but once his son met and challenged the first slayer that's when everything changed. It changed his whole life in result turning on his own father and trapping him in solid stone. At the same time, he destroyed himself, and it was all because of a forbidden kiss with a woman. His father would have never cared none the less but the woman was a slayer, and it unbalanced the way things should have been.
Mayor Wilkins's knew the story well and the story inspired him so much that it took him years to find a way to bring Drakon back. The only reason he wanted Drakon back was because of his powers. His blood was the last ingredient he needed for his ascension. Then everything, he worked so hard for would have met for something. He would own this world, maybe in the process him and Drakon could take over together. That wouldn't be a bad idea.
Faith is snapped out of her thoughts by Buffy's laughing as she climbs Angel's bedroom window. She signed hoping this would be an easy job, and she hoped she would find the sword before Angel or Buffy catches her snooping around.
She moved across the bed and went over towards the closet. She opened it and flipped threw a couple of outfits until she has seen a small slot for a key embedded in the back of the wooden closet. She picked at it with a bobby pin she had in her hair. She kept trying until she was on her sixth try, and it finally clicked. She smiled as the door opened revealing a small room. It had weapons, swords and a few other things stashed inside. She took a step with little room that was left and began to browse. She then went to the back after searching and searching when she finally seen the sword of virtuous in an unlocked glass case. She opened it and grabbed the sword. She placed the stuff the way it should be and locked the door closing the closet.
She was moving past the bed when she heard Buffy's voice closer this time, but it was closer. She was just outside the door with Angel. She quickly ran towards the window and ran closing the window on her way out. She landed on her feet and stood up making a dash towards the cemetery.
Giles watched his slayer go up stair's concern for her well being and her unborn child. It made him worry a lot and it made him wander if it was his fault for guiding her, pointing her in the right direction, then this happens. Although he had no way of encouraging her who to love or not, it was just how things were, and now he had a job to do. A job of protecting her and making sure she and her unborn child would live through this. For some reason, he had a bad feeling that something big was going to happen. He just didn't know what it was yet.
He just hoped that Angel would accept the responsibility of the situation. he put his slayer in. Other than that they had a bigger problem with the council supposedly would be coming here in four days of now. He couldn't tell them she was pregnant because he knew if the council would find out about this, they would fire him for allowing this to happen and most likely kill Angel and lock up Buffy. Then there was the fact that Drakon could or will be released and all hell would brake lose. Unfortunately, he had a lot to worry about.
Besides that Jenny left and went home to catch up on the classes she was teaching at school. While Joyce stayed at home to keep her mind occupied at work, but he could tell she was still nervous and scared about her daughter situation. He didn't blame her, he did too. Buffy was like a daughter to him.
"Willow, have you found anything else about Drakon?" Giles asked not noticing Xander walked in.
"Well it says he was the first demon on earth. He was brought forth to rid the Earth of the plague of humanity... and to start a revolution of a new kind of breed." Willow spoke.
"Wow, reminds me of the show Alien. I hope we don't have to walk around and try to kill anything like that. I certainly hope they don't lay their eggs in us either." Xander joked.
Willow smiled surprised to see him back so soon. Giles looked up and didn't seem amused. "This is not a joke Xander."
"I know, calm down G. Besides that how the….Bufster?" He asked.
"She's fine but…I begged you to keep your comments to yourself Giles said.
"Maybe if you apologized to her, she would feel better too." Willow said.
Xander rolled his eyes and took a deep breath realizing he should apologize before he backs out of it again. "Fine I'll…. Apologize' as long as dead boy is not here."
From the moment, he said that Buffy came downstairs staring at him. Buffy didn't say anything at first but glared at him for a moment. "Xander"
"Xander slowly gets up and stares at Buffy, who was waiting for him to say something.
"I want to apologize and want to say……I'm sorry for saying the things I said." He was only doing this for Buffy and that was it. "I won't say anything else to piss you off…..promise."
Buffy smiled. "I'll hold you to that."
Xander smiled and took a seat beside Willow, who was still researching. A moment later he looked up to see Angel walk down the steps looking irritated and suddenly worried. Angel walked over towards the living room noticing Xander was back.
"It's alright Angel. He's not here to cause trouble." Buffy said.
"Angel sighed hoping for Xander sake that he was not here to cause trouble. "We might have a problem."
Everyone turned including Buffy, who had gotten up and stood by him. "What's wrong Angel."
"Someone was in my room and has taken the sword of virtuous. "
"The sword of virtuous, why would anyone steal it?" Giles said.
"Oh no." Willow gasped as she suddenly read something in the book about Drakon and the sword. "Maybe they wanted the sword of virtuous to release Drakon." Willow said as everyone else turned to stare at her.
"Well its mention here about Drakon being released by the Sword of virtuous and the scroll that was lost since the beginning of time." Willow handed Giles the book.
Giles looked at the book and looked surprised. "This is not good; we need to find out where that sword is. When was the last time you have seen the sword Angel?"
"Yesterday morning, I had it, but I could have sworn when I entered my room, someone was there, like they just left." Angel said.
"If this is the case then we must deal with this now. The council called yesterday and has spoken of a warehouse that Spike might be at. We could start there and see what happens." Giles spoke.
"I'm going with you." Buffy said.
Angel shook his head and stared at her. "Buffy, it's not safe to go in your situation."
Buffy fumed and took a step towards him. "I am too. I'm only a month pregnant, and I'm not leaving you to go face Spike alone."
"Buffy remember what happen last time. I'm not letting you go with me." Angel demanded.
Willow and Xander seemed too watched amazed as they watched the slayer and vamp argue. It was like watching a married couple fight.
Giles sighed and got frustrated at the situation of the couple in front of him. Arguing wasn't getting anywhere and it was making him worry more. "Buffy he is right…. It…. is safe to just stay here. Faith could go with him."
Buffy turned and was about to let out another big argument when Angel grabbed her and pulled her in for a kiss. The kiss was sweet, sincere and a way of distracting her, which worked. A minute later he released her and caressed her face.
Willow just smiled looking amused while Xander had to snicker at the fact that they reminded him of the couple's on days of our life. This was starting to amuse him.
"No distracting me, why do you do that?" Buffy said.
Angel snickered. "Giles is right, but since you won't take no for an answer, I guess you have to come but under one condition." He smiled.
Buffy crossed her arms and stared at him. "And what would that be?"
Jenny was on her way to make herself a cup of tea when there was a knock on the door. She sighed and wondered if that was Giles. He said he wouldn't be here until nine, but it's only 7:00. She made her way to the door and opened it. To her surprise, it wasn't anyone she knew. It was a young teen maybe fourteen to fifteen years old. She looked pale and she had the brightest blue eyes she has ever seen. Her hair was brown and was held in two pony tails. She looked scared and confused. "Can I help you?"
"Hi, my name is Elisabeth DaKone. I was wondering if you could help me."
Jenny looked at the girl and could tell the girl was scared of something. She was glancing around outside nervously. The girl's name sounded awfully familiar but then again, there was something about the girl, she wasn't sure if she should trust also. "Is someone following you?" She asked.
"Ah…. No…. I just need help, and I know I could trust you….can I please come in." The young girl said.
"What is it that you need help with honey?"
"If I could just please come inside. Someone is after me…I can't say…please"
Jenny looked at the young girl and felt odd for not inviting her in. She was just a young girl, but just in case she knew her spells well and if anything she could still use them to protect herself.
The girl stepped in and smiled in relieved. The young girl sat on the couch and pulled out a book she had in her small backpack.
"I'm looking for my father, and I think you can help Jenna of the Kalderash gypsy clan."
Jenny looked at her hard then wondered how she knew who she was. "How do you know that?"
The young girl smiled. "I know a lot, let's just say I'm older than you think I am."
Jenny knew it was too good to be true. You can't trust the face that's sweet and innocent. She quickly said three words and her hand glowed, then her whole body glowed shielding her from forces around her.
The young girl laughed and stared at her. "There was no need for that. I'm not here to hurt you. I just need your help to find my father."
"What makes you think I can help you find your father?"
"Because you're the one that helped my brother get a soul." She said.
Jenny looked at her confused. "Brother?"
"Yes "Liam. He goes by Angel now."
Jenny looked at her wide eyes knowing there were a lot of questions now. As far as she knew when he changed he had killed his sister. This was impossible wasn't it?
Spike smiled as he made his way out of the graveyard and into the warehouse. He was even happier to get a bang with the slayer at the graveyard. She was a good lay and he was just wandering for a moment that she was even better than Dru. He was planning on getting back at Dru for leaving him for a fungus demon but instead he had other plans now. He had plans for that luscious slayer that he couldn't get out of his mind.
Spike smiles as he makes his way toward Mayor Wilkins that was preparing for the sacrifice. There was a young blonde girl that was tied to four restraints on the wall. She was unconscious and had the most luscious body he ever seen. Before he could daydream about how it would look like if Faith was tied down he was interrupted by the mayor.
"Do you have it?" Wilkins said.
Spike smiled and handed him the sword. "In perfect condition Mayor, now all we need is the slayer."
"That could be arranged. "Wilkins said. "Get to the nearest cemetery they are there."
"How would you know... Do you have some fancy equipment lying around here? "He spoke.
"I have my resources." Wilkins said. "Make sure you have the pint of blood before midnight."
"That will be no problem, Mayor."
"Well, just in case I'm bringing back up." The mayor said as four vampires walked towards the entrance. Spike sneered and picked up the dagger that was lying on the stone. He was making his way towards the door when the mayor's voice stopped him. "Don't disappoint me."
He sighed leaving hoping very soon he could get rid of that lout. He hated taking orders from people. He was starting to get annoying just like his sire.
Buffy and Angel were making their way towards the entrance of the graveyard when Angel was a couple feet of head. She stepped towards his side frustrated that she promised she would stay out of the way if it gotten too dangerous. Although if it was his life in danger she was going to be side him no matter what he said. She loved him too much to see him get hurt.
Buffy walked a little closer when they have seen Faith nearby. She was sitting on a tomb. "Faith?"
Faith looked over and smiled. "Hay B what's up?" She then looked over to see she had Angel with her. This should be fun she thought.
Buffy smiled and waved towards her. "Seen any vamps yet."
"No just a few not much. "This must be Angel I hear so much about."
Angel smiled and shook her hand. He then wandered just for a moment why he felt something odd about her. He knew she was a slayer but there was something else that he couldn't put his finger on.
"Who told you about Angel?" Buffy said feeling somewhat jealous the way Faith's eyes were roaming his.
Faith laughed. "Oh from Xander. Besides no need to worry B, I got myself a man, no need to get jealous." She smirked.
Angel smirked and could see the jealous look in Buffy's eyes. It was amusing to see."
Figures Xander was the one that told her about Angel. Besides that Buffy was surprised that Faith had a man because usually she couldn't stick with one.
Faith looked at her when she has suddenly seen two vampires coming towards her. "Watch out B."
Angel quickly turned and dodged the stake lunching at him. He grabbed it from the vamp and broke it into. He quickly turned and snapped the vampire neck as he seen Buffy was fighting a vamp. He clubbed the third vampire and attacked another one as he made his way over to Buffy.
Faith smirked and attacked a vamp that came towards the right. She quickly took her stake and shoved it deep into the vamp's heart. She walked faller and ran right into her cloaked vampire. Not wanting to give herself up, she winked at Spike and decided to play along. He grabbed her by the neck and morphed. He leaned closer towards her and whispered. "Just play along and everything will be ok." He then gently bit in her throat feeling the warm blood feel his throat. It has been so long since he had Slayer's blood that he felt like he was getting high on it. he went on his knees and cradled her in his arms. Before he could move away, he was suddenly tossed against a tomb. "Bloody hell." He looked up and smirked at the blond slayer before him. She looked the same but something was different about her that he couldn't put his finger on. "Well well if it isn't the mighty slayer. Did you come for dinner too?" he licked his bloody lips and stared at his sire that just stood beside the slayer.
"Spike." Buffy looked at him in disgust and ran to Faith, who was starting to move. "Faith are you ok?"
Angels growled as he stared at the cloaked vampire and new right away that it was his chide Spike. "Well if it isn't Spiky." He teased.
"Well, if it isn't my old sire. Did you come with fluffy for a good hay in the sack? That is the only thing fluffy is good for, to lose your soul with." Spike chuckled.
Angel morphed and growled. "I am going to count to five before I tear your throat out."
Spike chuckled. "You always did go for the over dramatic, Angelus." He smirked and lit a cigarette.
Angel flinched at the name. "That is NOT my name anymore."
Spike snickered. "That doesn't make it true. You will always be a demon no matter what. You can't hide from the past behind this pathetic mask of a human or fluffy over there."
Buffy was behind him now. She kicked him straight in the balls for that comment. "Fuck you Spike. You know you're pathetic the last time I saw you and you even more pathetic now. Are you supposed to be dressing like Dracula now?" She smirked.
"Bloody hell slayer you don't kick vamps in the balls and for a matter of fact I don't dress like that pounce." Spike said holding his groan.
Angel smirked." Are you sure you have balls Spike I thought you didn't have any." He laughed not helping to tease the vamp some more.
Spike growled and lunched himself at Angel. He tackled him to the ground and slide his fangs right into his neck. Buffy quickly jumped and tossed Spike off of him. "Angel are you ok?"
Angel cursed and held his neck. He couldn't believe he bit him. "I'm fine."
"Bloody hell you're human but how?" Spike asked amazed as he tasted the blood in his mouth.
"None of your business Spike" Buffy replied getting suddenly agitated by the vamp once again..
Spike turned to see three vamps running towards Angel. Well, this was his chance, and it was now or never to get what he needed. "Come on slayer I know you want a piece of Spike to." He taunted.
Buffy glared at him in fury. "Oh he's dead." She mumbled pulling a stake out of her back pocket. Angel stood beside her and glanced at the two vamps coming near them. "Buffy let me handle Spike while you go handle the two vamps."
Buffy shook her head. "No way I want to be the one to stake him." Buffy said.
"Really slayer didn't know you wanted me that badly." Spike teased.
Before Angel knew what was happening Buffy jumped and was fighting Spike head on. He cursed and was once again blocked by two vamps stopping him.
There was a kick to the right and left which Spike blocked, but he didn't block the fist coming towards his face. He fell right on his ass as Buffy leaned over him. She had the stake to his chest but Spike had both of his hands on the stake trying to push it the other way. "Bloody hell slayer, you sure pick up a good fight." He sneered and smirked as he seen Faith sit up.
Faith watched as Buffy was ready to stake her boyfriend, so she did the only thing she could do to save him. She quickly looked over to see a vamp coming towards her, she then screamed Buffy's name.
Buffy glanced over just in time for Spike to grab the small dagger with his left hand. He quickly pulled it out and stabbed Buffy right in the shoulder. Buffy screamed and rolled away from him dropping the stake. Spike quickly pulled the dagger out and placed it back in the glass container.
Angel heard the scream and jumped when he seen Spike looming over his precious slayer. Angel growled and jumped towards Spike. Before he could reach him Spike smirked and disappeared before he could reach him. He looked down at Buffy and then at Faith, who took care of the last vamp. He took Buffy in his arms and held the stab wound. "Buffy are you ok? Buffy."
"Buffy gasped awake and looked up to see Angel staring at her. I can't believe that stupid ass stabbed me." Buffy pouted. "Is Faith ok?"
"Faith is fine but we need to get both of you to the hospital." Angel said.
"Oh gosh not again. Can't you just take me home and take care of me?"
Buffy I know you hate hospitals, but it's just for safely for…."
"We can play doctor and patient." Buffy teased.
Angel sighed realizing Buffy was making him think very bad things again. This was not good now all he could think about was Buffy in a little nurse outfit or a gown. He smiled and picked up Buffy in his arms. "Come on I'll decide on the way." He teased.
Buffy smiled knowing she would get her way. "Well at least it will take our minds off of why Spike's back in town and what's he's planning to do because I have a bad feeling it's not good." Buffy said.
Angel looked down at her and smiled. "True but I wouldn't worry about him. I would be worried about who he's working for."
