We were on our way to kill Vail, the warlock who killed Wesley...originally. He was powerful, cunning, intelligent, and evil and he more than likely knew we were coming to take him out. We all had our memories, so it was probably safe to assume that he still had his, too. And that meant he would be ready for us, which was really scary. I didn't ( Read more... )

Sol, Willow and I, thankfully, made it back to Angel's apartment safe and sound. I kept imagining Faith swooping down from some tree, yelling boo and chasing each of us down and murdering us to death. I was glad to be back at Angel's and not just because being at his place means being inside. I was glad because it meant protection if Faith showed ( Read more... )

After Nina and I finished singing, we sat down and were almost promptly greeted by some more free drinks. The waiter pointed at two guys who smiled and waved at us. They looked human enough so we smiled and waved and proceeded to drink our drinks. I saw the big green demon with the red horns staring at us all night like he wanted to come over and ( Read more... )

After talking with Charles, Wesley and I decided to cancel the food he'd ordered. Instead, we went out to eat at a really nice, quiet, out of the way Italian restaurant. Wesley told me that this was the place he was going to surprise me with on that day. He'd been planning on taking me here for a romantic dinner, but it never happened because I ( Read more... )

Wesley and I stayed at the bluff for a while, just holding one another. For a while, I felt like we were all alone in the world, and it was such a comforting feeling. I almost grabbed his hand to beg him to run away with me. I almost asked him to just get in the SUV with me and leave everything behind and forget this life forever. But I knew he ( Read more... )

My first time to address the entire science class went pretty well, I thought. I didn't notice too many glazed-over eyes, which was a good sign that they were listening. And listening to this project would be a good thing, because it was a quarter of their entire grade. I hoped they remembered that, because I think I went over that part about ten ( Read more... )

I'd made a promise to myself and to Angel, even though he didn't know it, and I was going to keep it. I was going to keep that promise even if it meant going downstairs and having a normal conversation with someone while my insides felt like they were on the outside. I'd woken up today, feeling brave, or pretending to feel brave, while I got ready ( Read more... )

Wesley and I were both pretty quiet during the drive over to Wolfram and Hart. My return trip to the offices took longer than when I was heading over to Wesley's apartments. I didn't think Wesley was speeding hitting all the lights like I did. It was just as well, because I was dreading going back into the building where I knew my murderer was ( Read more... )

There was a time, when I was living...no not living, surviving in Pylea, where I knew I was never going to leave or see home again. I scurried around like a little mouse in the dark and did everything I could to not be noticed and to make sure I lived from one day, one minute to the next. And then it all changed, when Angel showed up. He was ( Read more... )

I hadn't been able to find anyone or anything that could help me find Wesley any faster than old fashioned foot work. So, I walked through pretty much every office on every floor of the entire building and Wesley still hadn't turned up. I was tired, frustrated, scared, anxious, and hungry. But I was always hungry, so I ignored that sensation ( Read more... )
