Life isn't dealt with so easily..

Feb 14, 2006 22:23

The entire plane ride, all I could think about was Angel and Spike, and what Giles had said right before I walked out the door… right before I walked out of the car too. I didn’t like how we left things, but it wasn’t like I didn’t have a reason to be mad. I think if I had opened my mouth to talk to him, I’d come out incredibly rude, and angry, ( Read more... )

Could feel my head throbbing, and barely feel the trace of the rain pummeling me ( ... )

The last time I had seen Spike, he was telling me to leave, to 'let him see how it ends.' I had left him to die in Sunnydale…and he died good. He died a hero. But he came back, and was with Angel, helping him in Wolfram and Hart, helping him to do the business, whatever business that was. I didn’t come back to see him. I didn’t come back, because first of all, it would be awkward. Second of all, we had begun to pave different roads, and for the longest time, I didn’t want anything to do with either of them. At least I didn’t want anything to do with them in close proximity. I’d be lying if I didn’t at least try to keep tabs on them ( ... )

“I’m here, Spike. I need to get you inside.”Everything was fading in and out like a black and white picture show from back in the sodding day, long and happily forgotten to me now, but when they were out, it was all the rage ( ... )

"Slay...Buffy, I think that the back of my head is split open. Might turn into a disgustingly pale Ethiopian picture of the blood flow isn't stopped from leaving my skull. Think about all of my ribs are broken and could probably use a couple of pints of a-b neg."Regardless of the rain, I was still covered in Spike's blood. I knew when I saw him laying down in the alley that he was losing blood. I ripped off art of my shirt, and tried to tie it around his head. I was no surgeon, but I knew that a simple shirt wasn't going to work forever. He needed some other kind of help, he needed it to be sewed up. It wasn't just the back of his head either. It was on his back, the puncture wounds in the front. He was bleeding everywhere ( ... )

Was getting weaker, but didn't lose my sense of bloody humor, and when she took her shirt off, aside from the obvious beauty of her skin and touch, it didn't escape me that she was trying to apply a tourniquet to my head ( ... )

"Uh...Uh..slaya, uh, Buffy, when people apply tourniquets to other people, or undead people, they usually don't tie them around the victim's neck."I smiled. Duh, Buffy. At least Spike still had that Spike quality about him ( ... )

"Faith shot Angel with a poisonous arrow when she was...evil. The only cure known was the blood of a slayer."

Normally, might have made a remark about how much I liked Faith already, but now wasn't that time. Wasn't a shock to me, though. She was all with the rogue big bad at a time and Angel had been with the white hats at that point.

Different then the Wolfram and Hart gig, but sort of the same. Sort of. Same thing as always right now, though, Buffy was going to ask where Angel was, and guessed it was about time to show her roughly where the pile of ashes was. Was feeling considerably stronger and stood, but even with Buffy's blood in me, my head throbbed and the sodding equilibrium wasn't there. Started to fall, but found my strength, and felt guilty, taking her blood.

"Are you feeling strong enough, love?"

Hadn't thought about calling her love, and didn't know what I was going to call her when I did see her again. Many scenarios had flashed through my mind about meeting her again, and I had wanted to all year, but never ( ... )

"Are you feeling strong enough, love?"

I looked at him, and took my hand away from my neck. I nodded, as I watched him stand up. There was no way that a few minutes was going to make him fully healthy. Hell, I knew that not even a few days was going to do that. He was still high off my blood, and I hoped that it would stick for a little while.

I was waiting for him to answer my question. I knew that he wasn't the type that would dodge it, especially regarding Angel. The thing was, that I knew he was trying to stall. I wasn't going to accept what he was going to say until I saw things for myself. Until I saw the proof, regardless of how heartbreaking that was.

"He...well, yeah, he was in the alley, Buffy. Fought a dragon and then he wasn't in the alley anymore. Went sort of airborne, bloody hard and fast. Don't think...."He didn't finish the sentence. I knew what was coming. I knew what was coming when I heard the tone of his voice. The minute that he started to speak, I immediately regretted asking him that question. I ( ... )

"Where.."

"Where was he thrown?"Wanted to do something to convince her that everything was going to be okay in the end. Wanted to, but knew better. Knew that there wasn't going to be any quick recovery for her when she saw the ashes that had become of Angel, if they were inside and not washed away outside in the rain somewhere ( ... )
