i shouldn't be surprised, it's never over
I was walking the streets, looking for some vampire to stake; nervous energy running through my veins and I had no idea why. Alright, that was one big fat lie; why do I always feel the need to lie to myself huh? Oh right, nevermind. The point was I was back in L.A. which was messed up enough in itself for various reasons, but oh right Angelus was running an evil law-firm with unlimited resources! So no reprieve after defeating the first for Buffy, nope, trade one battle zone for another. Only now I can't go running home to hide; I was literally in the middle of all this.
Hell I was living in Angel's hotel.
God, Angel. Why the hell had he agreed to letting Angelus loose? Cause come on, that is never a good idea. They should have called, instead what I get this fed-ex package with recognizable handwriting and a lovely little trinket inside it. Guess he didn't want me to miss the show in L.A. huh? Remind me to send him a thank you card laced with garlic and holy water.
Angelus was probably my worst nightmare come to life and the genuises at Angel Investigations had voluntarily let him loose, I still didn't get that. I had a not so nice chat with them that left me looking like a bitch and then went back and apologized because hey I thought I had that whole life ahead of me we'd been talking about while looking at the big crater that used to be Sunnydale, but of course not.
Now what? We just sit and wait for Angelus and Evil Inc to pick us off one by one? I don't think so. I thought about leaving for a whole minute but then I realized I couldn't. Angelus and I have unfinished business and I'm so not going to leave Wes and the others here at his mercy.
I sigh and make my way back towards the hotel, I really don't want a lecture from Wes about going out by myself when I might be one of Angelus's largest targets and blah blah blah. I got the point; but I had energy to burn. Unfortunately despite the city's recent slam back into non-world peace it was quiet and I hadn't been able to get my hands on any vampires. Even if I had it wouldn't have been either Vampire I wanted to see. Wanted being a relative term.
And that thought brought me to Spike. He was gone; no not just gone but ash, dust in the wind so to speak and I missed him so much. Sure I'd wanted to hit him when he said I didn't love him but I still missed him. I do love him, maybe it was bad timing and I suck for not even getting it before; but I do.
Now I'm so lost that I don't know how to keep going. What was it I did the last time I felt this alone? Or right, I neglected to kill Angelus. I'm not going to make that mistake again, it might kill me but I can't let him hurt the people I love again. I'm not 17 anymore. Not that I'm all that sure he cares much about me anyway, despite the looks I get anytime someone mentions his name, or Angel's, or Spike's; like I'll break. Can I just say i'm tired of being treated like shattered glass. I'm over it, I cry alone in my room and then go back and deal with life, I do what I need to.
As I get in sight of the hotel I hear what sounds like bullets going off so I take off running towards the hotel in enough time to see a few demons I've never seen before pop in and out of existance? And did they actually have guns? What happened to a good old troll hammer when you stormed a slayer's strong hold? Wasn't anything sacred anymore? Whatever, I made it inside the doors and attempted to grab one demon but he moved too quickly, were these things teleporting? What the hell?
I noticed, the others and sighed, at least everyone was alright. I did get clipped in the shoulder and I blocked out the pain before grabbing another big ass demon before it could poof away I snapped its neck. Ok, so that worked. Check. I would do much better with these things if they didn't have the ability to teleport, that so wasn't fair.
"Damn you Angelus," Cause obviously this was his doing, fair was so not in his vocabulary.
I managed to tactfully move through the demons without getting pounded on too much, though I wasn't really able to do much damage to them either. So that sucked, I took a second to decide, moving past Fred and into Angel's old office, which had been locked until I broke the knob, to retrieve the scythe which we'd kept there for safe keeping.
I turned around just as Fred's little bomb thing went off and blinked back the pain it caused my eyes, I looked around and it seemed that all the demons were down, at least I hoped they were, I held onto the Scythe tightly just in case.
"Everyone Ok?"
