Crossroads
Angel, pre-series
As soon as he crosses the border into China, he can feel Darla's presence. It's a vampire's playground, death and destruction all around.
The spilled blood calls to him, makes his fangs ache and his stomach growl but the screams of his past victims ghost along his skin and he doesn't indulge. He finds a group of newly hung murderers and rapists. He drains the lot, but it's not the same.
He's tired of this non-existence, where every waking moment is filled with pity and shame and regrets. He needs to find Darla, so she can make him whole again.
