Just a quick note: For Angel's POV there will also be Angelus as well so Angel's thoughts are in italics and Angelus' are bold. Enjoy:D
Day of Reckoning: a Sweet Surrender
Chapter 2: Demons and Green Goo
POV: Angel/Angelus
"Don't what? Don't love you? I'm sorry; nobody told me I had a choice! I can't just change, I'll never change. I…I want my life to be with you."
"I don't."
"Don't? You…you don't want to be with me?"
"BUFFY!" Oh god Buffy I'm so sorry, so sorry love.
I don't think she can hear you genius.
Screw off.
Well gee I would but you see, you're in my body.
You mean my body.
Technicalities. So had another dream about our Buff huh? You did well; I don't think I even caused as much pain while I was out and about as you did that night.
Just shut up, I don't need a reminder.
No your mind is just doing it for you. I wonder how Buff's doing. We should call no better yet let's go check in on my little slayer.
No! We are not going to call and we are not going to visit, I don't need to cause any more problems for her besides Giles said she's doing great...and she's not your slayer.
Well she sure as hell better not be anyone else's or I'll rip them apart! She's mine!
How many times do we have to go over this…she is not yours! Nor will she ever…
"ANGEL!"
Ohh hurray the whiny bitch is back. Can we kill her?
No.
Please...I'll even make it painless, just a quick snap of the neck.
No.
"ANGEL!"
"Hi Codelia."
"Geez, finally. What could have possibly taken you that long to get up here, I mean I've been calling and calling..."
"Cordy."
"and you're not the only person with things to do…"
"Cordy."
"I mean you don't even have to get ready…its not like you can see yourself anyways…"
"Cordy! Did you need something?"
"No not really."
You sure we can't kill her?
"Angel?"
"Come in Wes."
"I think I might have found something on that Sklar demon you faced last night. It says that they feed off people by draining their…"
"Wes, I don't really need to know all that right now, just how to kill it."
"Oh, right…well it says, hmmmm ah yes, here it is, to kill a Sklar demon you must cut off oh, oh my, it had two tails?"
"Yes." At least it doesn't have four heads like the last one.
Yeah that was a rather messy one but a fun killing.
Maybe for you. "So Wes, how do I kill it?"
"Right, well it says you must cut off its second tail…so that would be the one with the uh spike on it, and them hmm ah cut of its head."
"Thanks Wes...uhm have you happened to talk to Giles lately?"
"Ahh yes, I did."
Well get on with it!
"He says everything is going well there…just the odd vampire or two."
"That's… good."
"Yes well, very well."
Ahh nothing like a good fight to get the juices flowing.
Speak for yourself; you're not covered in slime.
Well…
"God Angel you stink! What is that all over you?"
Haven't they left yet?
"Sklar bits."
"Ugh that's disgusting…you definitely need a shower, maybe 4."
"Well that's quite enough Cordelia, how did it go Angel?"
How does he think it went or can he not see the green gunk dripping from our hair?
"Fine Wes thanks, but you guys head on home I'm just going to take a shower and catch up on some work."
"Finally! See you tomorrow Angel!"
"Well if you are sure you don't need anything…"
"Geez Wes he said we could go, just leave already."
"Its fine Wes, have a good night guys."
Is he always that needy?
He's not needy, he's just…thorough.
Right, well what ever helps you sleep at night cupcake.
Quiet, I have work to do.
Yeah work, you mean your going to go have a shower, think about Buffy then when you're done you are going to sit in your room and stare at a picture of our Buff.
Again, she is not our Buffy...
"Angel."
"Buffy? Is it really you?"
"Yes Angel…but not for long."
"What do you mean love?"
"I'm broken Angel and pretty soon there will be nothing left."
"I… I don't understand."
"All alone Angel."
"Buffy? Buffy come back, please stay. BUFFY!"
What did she mean she's broken?
I don't know, it's probably just a dream.
Then why did she say she's alone?
I don't know! But she's not; she has Willow, Xander, Oz, her mom, not to mention Giles and he'd never leave her so she is not alone, she's just not.
AU note: Sorry for another short chapter, I'm just trying to get the basics out of the way so we can get on with the story. Even though it was pretty slow I hope you enjoyed it and continue to read. :D
