I faced Fred as she spoke. That was the first order I actually listened to tonight. Not sure why. Guess it was the sincerity in her voice. But then the lies started flowing...
I'm really sick of those.
"You're a good person I know you are but why are you acting as though you're just like a..."
Good person? I sunk my 'Father' to the bottom of the ocean. Maybe if I sink a few more I'll move up to 'great' person. I narrowed my eyes as she paused, really wishing she chose her words wisely, for her own sake.
"You acting as if You are a demon."
So much for wise...
"Who's to say I'm not? My mom was...my dad IS. What the hell am I? According to logic I shouldn't even exist! But I do...the product of two demons... You're good at math, you work the problem."
Apparently Faith needs a lot of attention, cause a conversation between Fred and I was impossible with the nut case ready to throw down. My eyes shot open as she pushed Fred out of the way trying to get to me, and before I knew it, I was on all fours after receiving a few blows from her.
I could feel rage start to grow inside. Recovering from her attacks I swept my leg around and knocked her to the ground. While she was down I got up then pulled her back to her feet and followed with a powerful backhand to her face then a kick to the gut to put some distance between us.
"Do you ever shut up?! If anyone is a demon here maybe the honor goes to you. The torturing thing...you seemed...experienced. Vampires like that sort of thing."
After catching a few of his petti blows I begin to recover than was struck to the ground.
I beging to stand when he says.
"Do you ever shut up?! If anyone is a demon here maybe the honor goes to you. The torturing thing...you seemed...experienced. Vampires like that sort of thing."
"I havent had a good torture since Wesley, but he screamed, like a little girl. You, your just stubborn!"
"Angelus did."
I ran up to him and kicked him straight in the gut, and watch as he flys into the wall behind him. I quickly run up to him and grab him by his hair.
I begin to slam his head into the wall. "Angel and Angelus are two different people."
I pull him up by his hair after slaming him into the wall a few times and kick him in the side.
I hit the wall and then then landed on the floor. Faith did have plenty of strenghth. I try and gather myself as I listened to Connor. My jaw dropped as I finally started to understand in a fairly odd way.
"Who's to say I'm not? My mom was...my dad IS. What the hell am I? According to logic I shouldn't even exist! But I do...the product of two demons... You're good at math, you work the problem."
I looked at him, and started to realize this whole situation was messed up beyond belief. Connor was, is lost. I haven't thought about what he might be going through. I didn't care before, I was just wrapped in my drama.
I started to say something, anything but Faith continued to pummel him. I ran up to both of them as fast as I could. I stood in between both of them with my arms stretched out. Faith pulled closer over to connor to where I was right next to him.
"Faith you've dealt with this your way," I pause hoping she'd listen, "Let me deal with it in mine."
I didn't know if she'd let me, lord knows she wouldn't give me that much time. I turn around and stood face to face with Connor. I tried to be quick about it but the words were hard to come by.
"Is that what this is about? You're lost, You don't know what you part is, in this world?" I pause looking at him up and down, "You're not a demon or at least you have a soul. There is some part of you-"
I didn't know if he was listening, I waited for him to reply.
"I havent had a good torture since Wesley, but he screamed, like a little girl. You, your just stubborn!"
I sighed and shook my head. Now she's boasting about her days of past insanity. And name calling...
"Angel and Angelus are two different people."
I was about to comment when she attacked again. I ended up being blown behind the desk with her final kick.
"No..." I breathing quickened as I contemplated my next move. "--neither of them are 'people' at all. Vampire! What, do I gotta spell it out for you?"
I jumped over the desk and was about to attack again, but Fred made her way between us, which halted my punch. And I'm the stubborn one?
"Is that what this is about? You're lost, You don't know what you part is, in this world? You're not a demon or at least you have a soul. There is some part of you-"
I licked a bit of blood from the corner of my mouth and spit it off to the right. I dropped my fists down to my side, ignoring Faith for the time being.
"'This'?" I questioned her with a confused look. "You mean Angel swimming with the fishes? That's not me being lost, that's me doing what I was taught to do. Fight. Vampires, demons...crazy Slayer girls." I nodded to Faith.
I went quiet for a while as I thought on what she said. Maybe she was right... But since i'm stubborn...I guess admitting to that would be a bit out of character.
"First mistake," I punch him across his face. "You let your guard down. Second mistake," I kick him in his side, run up on him and slam him into a wall.
"You called me crazy, you don’t know crazy." I put my arm up against his neck as I begin to choke him, “This, is crazy." I give him a little grin. "Locking your dad up, under water for him to see the fish. That’s the work of a crazy persons mind." I look over at Fred.
"Get in the middle of my fight again and you wont be able to walk.
I look back at Connor and remove my arm from his neck and kick him in the gut. “I’m tired of your shit boy. No more games, a straight up fight from here on.”
I felt that I might possibly be getting somewhere, that maybe Connor was somewhat listening to me. Although I knew he was being stubborn, but I got atleast far enough for him to listen to me. I watched as he spit out blood, I reached for some sort of cloth to help him clean up. As I began to respond, Faith had charged at him.
She pushed me away and stared at me, I stared back wondering what on earth was she thinking, ""Get in the middle of my fight again and you wont be able to walk."
After she kicked him to the ground, I quickly rushed over to him. I didn't know exactly what to say, but I knew someone had to help Connor, even If I wasn't the best option. I stood infront him, guarding him from her.
"Are you okay?" I watch as more blood comes from his mouth. I didn't want hurt anymore than I wanted Angel gone.
I look back at her, "Stop it, you're hurting him. We can help him with out killing him"
I lied on the ground looking at the ceiling of the lobby as I took in breathes of air to contemplate for the few moments of being choked. I felt numb again. No pain. No anger. Nothing. It kind of worked for me though. All the attacks she was landing should have hurt...if I let them, but I pushed them aside.
"Locking your dad up, under water for him to see the fish. That’s the work of a crazy persons mind."
"If you say so..."
I flipped up to my feet then tilted my head back and forth to work out a few kinks. I looked Fred over in question. For someone so smart, she sure did some amazingly stupid things. Standing up to Faith would be one of them. I heal fast...she didn't, not that I knew of.
"I was raised in a place where humans weren't the supreme species. Demons outnumbered us 10 fold, and I'm not talking the weak half blood demons you have running around here. Pure blood demons. You might think your hot stuff, but...you're just a fool."
My featured hardened as I glared at her. In a quick motion I grabbed hold of an office chair and hurlked it at her. She dodged it, but didn't have enough time to dodge the one I sent right after it. It knocked her back, but she was up pretty quick.
"So, if I am 'crazy'...there's my excuse." Tilting my head questioningly I kept my sights on her as I strolled slowly behind the desk. "What's yours?"
With a final burst of speed I opened one of the desk drawers and pulled out a small pistol which was equipped with tranq darts. I know..'cause I had been responsible for re-loading the gun after every use. Taking aim I shot once, hitting her in the leg. I knew it wouldnt take her down. It was only one dart after all, but maybe it would have some affect on her mouth 'cause I'm sick of hearing her talk.
I tossed the pistol back to Fred. If she was gonna stupidly step in each time Faith took a swing at me she should have some sort of protection.
"I was raised in a place where humans weren't the supreme species. Demons outnumbered us 10 fold, and I'm not talking the weak half blood demons you have running around here. Pure blood demons. You might think your hot stuff, but...you're just a fool."
My mind started to race faster than before, all this time I've never thought about his life in Quartoth. The hardships that he must of been through, the pain he had felt...All of this was very unfortunate, and in some ways I could relate.
I put my hands on my face, this..all of this.. I couldn't believe what Faith or Connor for that matter were doing to each other. If I hadn't kept chiming in between them I was sure they would've killed each other by now.
Before anything could however, I watched as Connor darted for the tranquilizer gun and shot her in the leg. I grab my head in frustration all of this has gone to far...All of this has reached it's peak. After handing me the gun I threw it on the ground. I stood up but kept my eye's on the ground...

I smirk some
"Angelus did."
