Swallowed whole and out of reach, the black sheep

Jul 11, 2005 15:59

I had two coffees in my hand, one kept returning to my lips and the other one was sort of bein' juggled between two hands as I tried to smoke a cigarette too. I figured I had shit for luck with the pizza I was bringin' Tara last night, might as well try coffee this time. 'Sides, I needed a serious caffeine injection because it was ten a.m. and ( Read more... )

Researching until the crack of dawn, isn't something I'm used to anymore. And the fact that I was exhausted and had fallen asleep on top of my books, was nothing new. It happened before, and I'm sure it would happen again. But I didn't want to miss any chances, any clues we might need in the fight against this immortal ( ... )

Did he always have to answer the phone that way? Like someone was about to call him and tell him that whole world just exploded and he was the only one left? Course if he was the only one left who the hell would be callin' him? Naw. It was cool, I knew that Wes had a tendency to worry about everything. Well, now was a good time to start worrying. Tara had up and disappeared and whoever snagged her spent a fair amount of time rippin' her whole dorm room to pieces ( ... )

Letting out a relieved breath when I heard Faith on the phone, I sank down in a nearby chair. Thank god, it wasn't the call I'd been dreading everytime the blasted thing rang. But it didn't take me long to pick up in the anxiety in her voice. Which surprised me. If there was one thing Faith hardly ever did, it was letting emotions creep into her voice ( ... )

"I'm on campus. Hillman Hall, it's the dorm right next to mine. Fourth floor, room 43." I rattled off as my eyes continued glancing around the room. It was hard to tell what I was lookin' at when I didn't know what to look for. "You gotta hurry, Wes." He didn't even have to answer me because I knew he'd get over here as fast as he could, ignoring public transit and just runnin' through the park. That was my watcher. Only ya know, a dignified stuck up version of runnin' or whatever ( ... )

"Fourth floor, room 43," I muttered, looking around for a pen to write it down. Scowling at myself, I realized that this wasn't actually necessary. I know where Faith's dorm was for crying out loud, the one next to it should really not be hard to find. "I'm on my ( ... )

It wasn't much longer after I'd found the body that I finally heard the knock at the door and the familiar comforting voice on the other side. Wesley was here. Quickly I opened the door as he let himself in and stopped short at what he saw laying on the ground by the closet door. Yeah, it was kinda upsetting but not nearly as upsetting as it would have been if that dead girl had been Tara. Still, it wasn't really easy to look at cause sometimes they all felt like a failure. I couldn't be everywhere at once, I couldn't save everyone. I'd accepted that fact a wicked long time ago. I wondered if it hit Wesley harder or less hard than it did me. Less hard because he really wasn't he superhero in the mix here. More like crusty old Albert wiling away long hours knitting booties for Robin in the batcave. Okay, that wasn't really a fair comparison but still a humorous one. Harder because he had to accept the fact that he was all breakable just like everyone else. Whereas me? Well, I wasn't exactly indestructible but I was a fair bit more ( ... )

When she opened the door, I quickly ducked in before anyone might see us. It might not be busy at this time of year, but one never knew. Especially not in our line of work. She closed the door behind me and just as I was about to turn around, I noticed something from the corners of my eyes. A body ( ... )

"Fuck if I know." I admitted glumly as Wes stood across from me as I sat on the edge of the bed. He had that thinking look on his face and I wondered if mine looked anything like that. No way. I had no idea where The Immortal brought her and let's face it, he could've brought her anywhere. "He's got the whole city wired, Wes. He could be stashin' her anywhere." I chewed on my bottom lip as I thought about all the places she could be. She could be at the warehouse he shipped out of down by the harbor, but he would probably know that's the first place he'd look for her. Not that that was gonna stop me from goin' anyway. Cause I had the feeling that he wanted me to, that I had to find him in order to find her. He wanted something from me or else I'd already be dead. I couldn't believe that he was just doin' all this cause he was bored, in order to bait me ( ... )

I raised my eyebrow at her. Even though I was quite used to her use of language by now, it never failed to elicit this reaction from me. And to be quite honest, I thought the situation was rather appropriate for such use of language ( ... )

prodigal_slayer August 15 2005, 19:03:02 UTC

Well, if Wes didn't have a better plan than we really were pretty well fucked here. Cause I relied on Wes to come up with the better plans. That was his job! Watcher. Comer upper of better plans than me. The seriousness almost melted away from the situation when he referred to the Immortal as a 'wanker'. Guess Wes was really worked up too, usin' language like that. Tsk tsk. What would the Council say? Next I'd have him sayin' 'fuck'. Naw. That wasn't likely to happen. Unless I made him really mad ( ... )

She wanted to go alone, as per usual. And as per usual I bristled at that. Dammit, she needs some backup here. And I may not be much but I could watch her back. I was well aware that when it came to fighting I was better off staying with the long distance weapons. I could throw a good punch. And then put ice on my hand later, but that wasn’t the point. I had a bad feeling about this and I didn’t want her out there on her own ( ... )

prodigal_slayer August 19 2005, 09:00:17 UTC

Setting my mouth into an angry line I was about to argue with him when I could see the determination in his eyes. He was comin' with me and there wasn't any way that I could convince him otherwise. If something happened to him...I really hated the idea that something might happen to him. Finally I just gave in because there wasn't anything I could do about it. And as much as I'd never admit it? It did make me feel better knowin' that he had my back. Really? He was the only one I could trust to ever have my back for real ( ... )

watcher_pryce August 19 2005, 10:20:59 UTC

It was tempting to raise my eyebrow at her when she damn near gave me permission tag along. Just who is the watcher here? As if I'd have taken no for an answer. I don't bloody well think so. Giving her a blank look when she practically ordered me to bail when things got rough, I snorted ( ... )
