After Connor it is. From the_embattled
We had landed in Marzanilla. I had neva heard of the island. Granted, I was an LA hhod boy for most of my life, and for the longest time, I didn't even know that you could see mountains from los Angeles in the background, but that wasn't surprisin'. Compton was pretty far from the mountains, both in terms of distance and in terms of sociologically. When you are all in the battles for your life with much, you don't look around to see anything except for what is comin' at you next.
It wasn't a stretch to say that Marzanilla was the nicest place that I had ever been, and though I had just dug out of my own grave and though I knew that there were demons and all here, I still didn' care. It beat Los Angeles any day of the week and while I was here wit Fred, I was gonna enjoy it the best that I could.
Problem with that was, that Fred was still all freaked that I had almost died and probably was more freaked about me bein' buried alive then I was. I couldn't blame her for that, but I thought that she would have bounced back by now. I guess that we had no experience wit one of the other of us dyin' and all, but I had proved that I was alive and was here, and her bein' down was gonna make our visit to this demon filled paradise, tough.
We had all gathered outside. I was talkin' to Fred, Buffy was talkin' to that Riley guy, and Riley's friend and the pilot were talkin' togetha, as were Angel, Cordy and Connor. Then, as I noticed that the sun was close to comin' up, Connor, just like the Peter Pan that he had been when first comin' to LA, had taken off again. I could tell that Angel wanted to go after him, but I knew that wit the sun coming up, that Angel would be fried if he went, and I couldn't have that.
"I'll go afta him, Angel. You have to get to shelter soon!"
I rushed off and felt Fred's hand wrappin' around mine. Once away from the mess, i realized that she wasn't happy wit me goin' off after Connor, but wit demons here, I wouldn't let Connor go off by himself and I wasn't willin' to compromise Angel.
"Fred, we don't have time to chit chat. I know that you are worried about me and all, but we both know how fast Connor is. That boy is a troublemaker, but he's goin' after demons and we gotta be there for him. Angel can't, so it's up to us. If Buffy wants to come after us, then we'll be okay, but right now, we gotta save Connor from himself, girl. We have to do this for Angel."
I was ready to go. I knew that we had to hurry, but I could tell that Fred had somethin' to say and wit her mindset the way that it was, I couldn't just rush off after Connor right away. We would just have to makeup time when we did leave.
