Bonds That Last: The Slayers Story
Chapter EIGHT
I'm A What?
"Breathing Sam, pretty important." Angel joked hugging the much smaller and younger girl to him.
"Oh what do you care. Last time a checked you were a dead vampire." Sam responded finally letting him go. "What are you doing here, Angel what is going on?" Sam questioned generally confused beyond common belief.
"Sam they're reacting last resort in Summerville. Buffy has been slaying away and Faith hasn't rested in days. Something is going on something none of us can control or stop, well that is none of us but you." Angel responded gently.
"What?" Sam whispered falling to ground quickly being caught be Angel.
"I'm sorry Sam. And I think that it's time you actually know the truth about your family Sammie." Angel responded pulling the long girl down to sit in his lap. Sam was like a younger sister they never ever fought it was actually kind of scary, well very scary. "Sam you were adopted for your own safety."
"What do you mean Angel? My own safety?" Sam asked clearly very confused by the new news.
"Sam you real name is Samantha Marie Danvers. You were born into the Covenant of Silence. Caleb's your older brother. You see the story behind the Covenant is every first born male receives the powers to do anything, once they ascend however they will age every time the use their powers." Angel began.
"Angel what does this have to do with me?" Sam questioned.
"Sam when you were born the power that came with you was quiet obviously not that of a member of the Covenant and as you grew older and were fighting demons and vampires, well evil vampires you were destined for something different so your biological parents had to hide you. Sammie it wasn't meant to get this far." Angel explain but however Sam was out in a different world.
The smell of burning rumble intoxicated the air and you walked through the darkened streets of hell. Screams of those condemned echoed throughout the darkness. The crunching of the feet of demons following behind you waiting for you to be distracted were heard in Sam's head.
The burning of ashes clung to her beautiful face. A trickle of blood slipped down her face, silent tears shown in her eyes. The words the vampire uttered before his death forever etched in her mind.
"You'll never be anything but a killer. People you love, your brother, your parents, it'll happen. You can't even save yourself. They trusted you, Josh and John. Where are they now? They're dead. You couldn't save them, they died because of you. You're hopeless slayer and no one will ever remember you. Even if they do, they'll only remember the death you cause and the pain."
She slipped up and a demon attacked her from behind. They were like a swarm of bees protecting their honey. "Leave her!" yelled a voice a swarm of energy hitting them.
"That guy the other night. That was Chase Collins wasn't it?" Sam muttered.
"It was Sam. He's become obsessed with you. The devil and source have been scheming together to find a way to kill you." Angel said.
"Why Angel? Why did you all wait so long? Why not tell me the truth!" Sam yelled.
"It's much more complicated than just that Sam." Angel said.
"NO ANGEL IT'S NOT! WHAT ELSE HAS BEEN A LIE HUH? WHY WONT EVERYONE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"YOU KNEW THE RISKS SAM!"
"I ALSO THOUGHT I KNEW MY FRIENDS, SO MUCH FOR THE TRUTH HUH? I THOUGHT I KNEW WHAT I HAD TO DO! I THOIUGHT NI KNEW WHO WAS TRYING TO KILL ME. I THOUGHT I DIDN'T HAVE A FAMILY! I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE IN THIS WORLD! I THOUGHT PUTTING MY LIFE ON THE LINE TO SAVE ALL YOUR LIFES WAS WORTH IT!" Sam screamed with unshed tears in her eyes.
"Sammie." Angel whispered reaching out to grab her hand. Sam shook her head quickly and ripped her hand out of his grip and took off running back through the path. "Shit!" Angel yelled digging in his pocket to pull out his phone. "Sarah listen it's Angel, we have to find Sam. She found out the truth and didn't take it well.
The Covenant boys were all sitting around discussing the news they were just told with Kate as Sarah walked away to answer her phone. "Damn it. Why can't Angel ever not cause trouble." They heard Sarah muttering.
"Sarah what s going on?" Caleb questioned wrapping his arms around her, his head resting on her forehead.
"Angel, the idiot, talked to Sam, in the freaking woods mind you, and told her everything." Sarah said. "She didn't take it well."
"How can someone hate us so much and not even know us." Pogue questioned.
"She's scared and Sam doesn't hate you guys. She's been through a lot and lost a lot of people in the past. Getting attached just doesn't came easy to her. Sam's afraid to cause peoples death." Sarah responded.
"Well we should go find her." Caleb said heading in the direction Sam went.
"That poor girl." Kate whispered, even if you didn't know her you had to feel for the girl. Everything she's done, and for nothing. Hell she probably even saved their lives.
"She's been through a hell of a lot." Sarah whispered back.
"Yeah but now she's got an over protected brother who's going to worry about her. All the time now knowing Caleb." Kate joked.
"That's only if she ever trusts him." Sarah responded.
"Please Caleb, Pogue, Reid, and Tyler will force her to talk, whether or not she wants to." Kate whispered back quietly following behind the boys quickly.
"I just hope she's okay." Sarah whispered into the quickening wind. Wait quickening wind. "GUYS STOP, WE'RE HEADING THE WRONG WAY!" Sarah yelled grabbing their attention. "She's not taking the path anymore."
"What makes you say that?" Caleb questioned.
"It's the wind. It'll still respond to her extremely strong feelings even without her powers." Sarah responded.
"That's it! We're having a serious conversation about this." Reid stated.
"Sure that'll help you at all." You guys have to remember you have to try to connect to a young seventeen girl who you'll probably never really understand." Sarah responded lightly and quietly.
"We can try." Caleb said, "I may not now her at all, but she is still always going to be my little sister. I want to at least try."
"We all do." Tyler said placing his hand on Caleb's shoulder.
"Then Caleb go alone. She's through here." Sarah said pointing through the woods. "You'll come to a spot by a small pond she'll be sitting in the only dry spot by the delta. If she's ever going trust you know is a good as time to start."
"She's right." Reid stated putting a good foot forward this time.
"Alright." Caleb said kissing Sarah gently and running into the woods.
