I had just gotten ready for bed when the phone rang. I quickly answered it so it wouldn't wake up Dawn. "Hello?"
"Wow, you sound like crap. What are you taking for your voice? Because you know zinc...wait, no." I giggle, "This is your death calling, letting you know I -can- call." And I let my fingers rest on the button to turn the phone off.
"Who the hell is this?" I ask.
Angel walked slowly around to the front of the Summer's house, careful to keep himself hidden amoung the bushes. He watched Buffy on the phone, carefully and attentivly listening.
I click closed my fancy cellphone and stand a bit, looking up at the Slayer's bedroom. Now, getting up there would be a bit tricky in my heels, but I could do it. I head for the nearest tree, and begin to climb.
I smirk at Harm's pathetic attempt. Watching Harmony climb a tree was more then enough entertainment. He turned his attention back to his Slayer...no not His slayer, she was not his anymore. He watched Buff, and kept watch on Harmony.
I hung up the phone and turned quickly to face my window. I hear something outside and, grabbing a stake, I cautiously opened it. I saw someone with blonde hair climbing the tree.
After getting a foot up, I scramble up halfway up the tree, and reach for another branch. I have to be quiet. Buffy won't think I'm outside if I'm quiet, right? No, it'll be all paranoia....right?
Angel watched both blondes with an amsued grin on his face. Buffy is adorable. Harmony is well....Harm..literally.
I realize who it is and lean up against the window sill, rolling my eyes. "Harm, if you wanted to see me, you could have tried the door."
My head snaps up, and I can't help but growl. "So if you knew it was me, you could have come down, and I wouldn't have ruined this skirt."
I sigh. My head is still pounding, but I have to deal with this first. There was no way in hell I was inviting little Miss Blondie Vamp into my house. I jump down to the ground, shaking off the wave of a wave of dizziness.
Angel moved slowly, almost stalkerish towards the confrentaion, watching, listening, and noting everything.
I smirk a bit. "Hurt? Aww, are you dizzy?" Yeah, I knew about earlier. I may not know everything, but I heard the doing of the underworld. And the Slayer being off the job was the cause of my even being here.
"What do you want, Harmony. Some people around here need sleep," I snapped.
Angel noticed her dizziness and smelled the dried blood on her *sniff* head? That's not good, he inched towards the two, making sure only to show himself if Buff needed me.
"I'm here to kill you. Like, duh?" I slip into what I'm sure is a fighting stance.
I laugh and shake my head at her stance. "What are you going to do, pee on me?" I ask. Okay, quick note to self: Never shake your head after a head injury. I nearly toppled onto the ground.
Yet again, Angel inched forward, taking note of Buffy's wavering body.
Oh my god. It sort of worked? "Your blood's going to make me stronger." And I launched a punch at her, aiming at her face.
Angel jump in, grabbing Harmony's arms back, so she has no mobility in the whatsoever.
I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the blow, but it never came. I realized that I was on my knees and looked up to see Angel holding Harmony's arms behind her back.
I squeak at the sudden immobility. "What the -hell-?" Turning as much as I can I see a face that's familiar and stare.
Angel looked at Buffy with no expression, completely ignoring Harm. "Hey Buffy."
I smile warily. "Hey. Nice timing."
Angel half smirked. "I thought so too."
I try to stamp on his foot. "Ok, how about -me-?? I'm here for a purpose!"
Angel rolled his eyes. "Your purpose is to shop."
I give the Vamp Wit a Soul a glare, "Shopping is important!"
"Right," I said, getting up. I can feel Angel's eyes on me. "I'm sure you're not here to shop, Harmony. What gives?"
"Yes, so why don't you go shop for spring clothing that will let you have a nice tan." I fake a smile and drop her in front of me.
"Yeah," I added. "Go tomorrow afternoon."
Angel looked at buffy, and smile again...she's changed so much, yet she's still the same.
"Go home Harm. You know you don't want to fight both of us."
Not that I'm much good at the moment, I thought to myself. God, I think the spell Willow did must have been a temporary thing cause my head is killing me!
I glared. And ok, no, I didn't want to take them both on. "This is just the beginning. Be -warned-." And I turned and gracefully ran.
Angel watched her emotionless and she ran and looked at Buffy. I could feel my legs getting weaker. "Angel..."
Angel rushed over and caught her right before she fainted. I saw this coming," he muttered as he quietly carried her back into her house. He gently laid her in bed. Kissing her forehead, he stayed with her until just before the sun rose.
