I just left her there, it pained me to be around Buffy when she was acting so different, nothing like the girl woman I loved. So, with a gentle kiss to her forehead, I decided it was best if I leave, go try to find some information on whoever felt liek castign a spell on the slayer, I cast a glance to Harmony on the porch as I left, and company.
My search took me straight to Willie's, he seemed to know everything about everything that went on in the demon world around here. I burst through the door, not worryign abotu all the assorted demons/vampires, that loked up at my rude entrance. Willie saw me as well, I swear he went a few shades lighter.
"Angel! My buddy, my pal." He said with a nervous grin. "What can I do for you today? I just got in a new shipment of some very nice blood, best on the market. How 'botu a free sample huh?"
And with that, I was over to the bar, the neck of his shirt in my hands. Anyone within a ten foot radius had backed up to the other end of the bar. This wouldn't end well. "You know what Willie, I am kinda hungry." With that, I vamped out, "But I'm not in the mood for immitations." I said coming closer and closer to his neck.
Willie shrieked, and began to babble, "Aww Angel, come on! You dont' want me, I'm your pal, it's me Willie remember? And plus you've got a soul now, you wouldn't want to hurt a human would ya?"
I stopped, my face returning to normal, I threw him back sending him staggering into the racks, upon racks of drinks. "Willie, scum like you, is hardly human." I said with a growl. "But I want information."
"Oh see," Willie said with a sigh. "There I can help you buddy, I'm the guy to talk to when it comes to information, got everything on the downlow though alright?" He smiled, and straightened his shirt.
"yeah, right." I replied taking a seat at the bar. "It's some sort of Lust spell,or desire spell, I want to know who cast it, and why." I said elbows restign on the bar top.
"Oh, well." Willie said nervously polishing an empty glass with his moth eaten dish rag. "You see Angel, I wish I knew but I ain't heard nothign about no.."
And then and there, I sent a fist, knuckles first colliding into his face. "what'd you say Willie?" I asked sitting back down.
"oww, I mean oww!" He said, his hand ccovering his right cheek. "That was uncalled for!" He said his voice a little shaken.
"Well, I might have to hit a little harder next time, and every time after that until I get some answers." I said, my face, cool, calm, and stern.
"no no," Willie said holding out his hands. "I think, it's all coming back to me now. Yeah, I think I rememebr somethign about I guy being in here last week, talking somethign big abotu a desire spell." He said with a nod.
"Really?" I asked. "I'm listening.
"Yeah, yeah, guy goes by the name Ethan Rayne? Am I right?" He asked with a smile.
I just stared at him, complacent dark orbs observing his lonesome writhing self. "Yeah Willie your right."
"and that's all I know, I swear." He said wincing from the pain in his face.
"Fine." I said getting up, and turnign around my coat flowed behidn me. "Willie." I aske dover my shoulder.
"yeah Angel, my buddy." He said afraid he'd have to meet my fist again.
"i'll have one to go." I said solemnly.
"sure thing Pal! Your buddy Willie will fix you right up." He said with a smile.
