Just Another Night [championsonward]
It was all so disappointing. I hadn't expected things to go this way. I wanted my darling daughter to be enraged, to see things with her new eyes and hate everything and everyone. But she didn't. That seer and Angel subdued her.
We climbed out of the tree and walked out of the cemetery. The night was still young, and the stars kept calling to me. A smiled crossed my face and then I thought about my no armed daughter, she was like a doll I once had, no arms and all. And I had burned her, burned her until she melted onto the floor.
She was helpless... my child. She couldn't even eat a child without it pushing her away and giggling for her monstrosity. And Angel was smart. He knew what had to be done, and the moment she lost her temper and began to loose control and her vacant heart called to evil, he would have to kill her, because he wasn't going to be able to stand seeing her like that.
He was so predictable. Always had been, even when he was Angelus. He was to full of shame and guilt for all his past sins, even to look upon me reminded him of my days as a human girl. He knows he made me what I was today and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I did want to see the look on his face when he had to kill my Gwen. It would have been priceless, but then again, just the thought of him suffering made all my anger subside. The look on his face when she rose from her deathbed had been so amazingly powerful that I almost wanted to burst out in song and laughter.
I loved how a small piece of him almost died all over again. But truly it was a priceless moment until the seer ruined everything... Cordelia. She'll get her just rewards soon enough. They both will.
But for now I was satisfied with just the thought that Angel would soon have to snuff Gwen's undead life, one way or another it will happen and when it did, I would feel it. It will pass right through me like air and it will fill my mind with pictures. But we were all connected. He was granddaddy now and I was a mommy again and the blood connected us all.
"So what no love?" I asked Leonardo, a small pout on my face, but my eyes twinkling like stars in the darkness.
