Chapter 10

"Do you have any idea where they'd be?" Faith turns towards Angel.

"No, lets just look tommaro."

"Why? You really are going to let your girlfriend die?"

"He's not going to kill her."

"You don't know that, all vamps are the same. Soulless and killers, preying on the week. They kill people for the fun of it."

"Hey, you're talking to one!" Angel looks took back.

"Whatever," Faith tosses the comment aside. "How do you know so much about that Spike guy anyway?"

"You learn a lot about someone, when they run with you for a century."


He loves me, I thought he didn't. He did kick me out though.

"You stay here with the prisoner," he directs me.

"I don't want to stay here, I want to be with you," I pull him back.

"Pet, you can't go, they can hurt you."

"But they'll kill you if you go alone," a tear goes down my cheek.

"Fine," he gives in. "I'll get one of the minions to watch red over there.

"I love you," I kiss him.

"Love you too pet." Rushing he adds, "We should go now, not long before sunlight."


What if she just leaves me after she gets what she wants? She will be human again and have super human strength. She wouldn't do that though, I think. No I'm the Big Bad, no one leaves me. Do I stay or go back to Dru though. The slayer caring, not crazy, I'll figure out something. I don't even know if Dru's coming back anyway.

"You okay Spikey."

"Don't worry pet I'm fine. The owner has more of a problem then us now."


"Faith, you should go home."

"Why, Angel? So I can just let Willow die?"

"Faith, he's not going to kill her tonight! He won't kill her until he gets what he wants!"

"Then maybe we should get there now, did you think about that Angel? Oh, that's right you didn't!"

"I'll just walk you home and we will try again tommaro. The sun will rise soon and I don't want to be on fire. Spike and her will be asleep soon. Vampires sleep during the day, they will be asleep. Do I have to spell it out for you?"

"If you do you will meet Mr. Pointy. You can never tell though, and what are all things about them true? Do they sleep in coffins, fear garlic, and all that other stuff?"

"You couldn't kill me if you tried," he scoffs. "You aren't even a slayer! You know nothing of vampires! What were you born yesterday? They don't sleep in coffins, ha no don't fear garlic, do you know anything about them?"

"Yeah, I know there evil and can be killed with a stake," Faith gets ready to attack him.

He runs up behind her and puts his fangs just inches away from her neck. "You think you can beat me?" he whispers in her ear. "I could kill you even before you take your weapons out."

"Fine," she pushes him off her.

"And just go home, now."

"Bye, hope you catch on fire."

"Ha, ha, very funny Faith."


"That old man was bitter; I'm going to have his taste stuck in my mouth."

"Yeah Buffy, I'll have him stuck in my teeth for days! I can fix your problem though."

"Don't call me Buffy!"

"Fine, Dru!"

"Don't call me that either!"

"Well then what the hell do you want me to call you pet?"

"Call me pet."

He gives a wicked smile, "Alright pet."

"So we have all the ingredients."

"Yeah, we should do this tonight though. You know Angel will expect me to wait, or may even be coming now. He and red seemed to be happy together." Walking in, he tells Willow, "Ready to do the spell? We have all we need."

"Yeah," she stutters nervous, but wanting her friend back.
