hello people,
Thank you for who are reading me. please R&R criticism are welcome.
"I wish you joy and happiness with Gunn"
"Thank you, Wes."
"Take care of her Gunn; I improved my skill in the fighting if you hurt her…
"I know, Angel and Cordelia have already gave me this threat"
"Oh...
"Yeah."
"You did your job as protector can we get some fun now."
"Aren't you enjoying yourself at this party, Lilah?"
"Very funny, Wes. Firstly we have to perform the spell to bring back Cordelia in this realm then we joined Fred and Faith at hairdresser for the ceremony and here we are."
"I'm sorry may I invite you for this dance."
The newly-weds couple observed Wes and his lover join the other dancers.
"If I was suspicious, I would think you didn't want Fred to get married to Gunn."
"But you're not."
"I trust you"
"That's why every time I have to meet Fred for some research you were more than willing to help me"
"I want to spend some quality time with my boyfriend, nothing wrong. Furthermore Angel was the one sending me each time."
"Really!"
"I'm sincere in addition you are the one who own me one dollar for ages."
"Never."
"Should I remind you how baby Connors became sweet teenage Connors?... Look at them they're to much in love it sickens me."
"What"
"Our lovely birds"
"Cordelia and Angel?"
"Obviously"
"Can you tell me again how they ended together?"
"Fate?"
"Please, I was there at the beginning and all the tracker told me the same, Angelus unlife was dedicated to The Vampire Slayer."
"Past tense"
"Like Spike told them back in Sunnydale, they became lovers but were never friends. With Cordelia he never looked at her as a potential lover, maybe a playmate when he was evil. You must understand something; the trackers recorded what he was doing in Sunnydale. But they didn't consider that fact: since the curse it's the first time he met someone human, pure shining and loving. Buffy was sixteen and didn't know he was a vampire, later because of the soul, he didn't seem threatening."
"I think, I understand, that a shame really, with all the power the senior partner possessed they didn't see your potential."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence."
"Between both of us and Lindsey we could have been able to bring Angelus and let him do what he does well. Create havoc and massacre."
"I don't think the world could handle Angelus either the Senior Partner, they underestimate him"
"Maybe you give him so much credit."
"No, the only one who can stand by him in the cruelty department is Cordelia."
"That's a non-sens Wes, she's to kind to sweet, and she makes me seek with her soft behaviour."
"You forgot, she's a demon"
"So"
Lilah seemed to not understand, Cordelia is Cordelia she dindn't change since the first time she met her. Blunt, honest and protective over whom she consider as family. The only change she was able to identify and acknowledge was her hardness.
"it means she didn't have a soul to lead her action, because she was human and choose to become demon she kept a part of her will, didn't lose it entirely, a gift from the power but when she ascended she became something else, I don't know what but something who had been able to stand an to be Angelus. She didn't flinch; she felt it and appreciated all the refinement he put in every torture. She didn't blame him for what he did as Angelus, she understood because as him she sensed the power within. Both of them are alone. When I first saw Cordelia at Sunnydale, I saw a rich girl, everyone seeking to be with her but she was careful at picking her friend, she whined a lot but helped all the way. She was funny and lonely. Angel wasn't better, melted in the shadow and didn't have a life. She had one built on a lie and he didn't have even this with a lie. It could have been Angel and Buffy you know, but when they met both of them was too immature."
"You know a lot of things about of them."
"Cordelia and Angel are my friends and my family moreover I am the recorder of the life of Angelus d'Aurelius the heir of the order of Aurelius. And for Buffy I was her watcher for a short period. Come on let join them"
The couple sensed the approach of Wesley and Lilah but Angel chose to ignore them somehow hoping they pass their way, but Cordelia broke their embrace.
"Angel look, Wes and Lilah are coming."
"So….
"Behave"
"I don't want. I looked for this dark corner in order to enjoy your company"
"I hate to admit it but maybe you were true"
"About?"
"Wes and Lilah"
"Told you."
"But I believe Fred should have been a better choice?"
"How?"
"She's innocent. Something neither of us is."
"You believe that."
"She killed a Human"
"You too and I even Wesley."
"Few years ago, I would've agreed with you, but not now, he's forty years and too hard and as a British he isn't a reference at showing his emotion. But sweet and innocent Fred needs this insurance; Gunn can provide it not Wes."
"Maybe, but Wes and his insecurities are so cute. But he has a way with words, sometimes he bored me with his lectures and at the opposite he always knew how to make me feel better, and the way he hold me when I was sad. "
"Cordy if you keep talking about him like that I shall change my mind and instead of turning him it might be just draining him"
"It won't be any turning without his acceptance. And ewww…..if you turn him he would like to keep Lilah with him, I don't think I can handle an eternity with her. It's inhuman even for you"
"Nice try, but unnecessary, loyalty is something very hard to find I won't spend it vainly."
"Really"
"Soon, I will turn him; both of us know it and him to. I have plenty of time to spend, an eternity. And I don't plan to waste my time playing the CEO at W&H."
"You are a champion of the power, and I'm your Seer and Wes helps us."
"Please, the prophecy of the shanshu is null and void, they kept me because of what I am a beast, and no one can get ride of you. You are a pure and shinning soul."
"I know, I enlighten better by night."
"I know who you are and what you can do, and I love you. Neither of us have a soul so I can tell I'm your soul mate but I am your mate. I grown up through the years in order to be able to stand by you and now I can, I have the strength to face you physically, mentally and morally."
"That doesn't change anything, the powers kept us because of all the demons, we are the most feared no one can stand by us, even Angelus will look like an amateur. I'm stronger, I don't fear the soul, I can deny her easily. If I have signed up the shanshu I didn't resign to my job at champion of the power."
"I would love to see Paris again. I visited France a long time ago with my family."
"Nice city even if I prefer Hungary, Poland….Austria."
"I never visited those countries."
"You will love it, Romania to; these cities possess an attractiveness that doesn't match with Paris who had become a business center."
"You should trust granddad Angelus, he had an unfailing taste."
"Thank you for the testimony little boy."
"I remember back in time, when we travelled across Europe, we visited some amazing cities.
Some possessed museum where Dru loved wander around peacefully, others had Lupanar and Casinos."
"Lupanar….hein Angel."
"Spiiiike…..
"Sorry….Peaches but Buffy needs my help with this moron."
"Lupanar, and I suppose the hostesses were blondes…..so you won't mind if I bring Groo in this dimension."
"I don't mind, because I'll be able to torture your wonderful boy toy."
Abruptly Angel clamped Cordelia's arms. His eyes glowing
"You are mine Cordelia and no one have the right to touch you."
"That works both ways Angel. You are mine too. To keep or to leave even to dust."
Cordelia's body was glowing but faintly, and her eyes became blank with no pupil. Wesley and Lilah didn't sense anything and they were near them and when they reached them, Cordelia was nestled between Angel arms.
