I can smell the blood between my thighs, pungent, like red wine that’s been sitting out too long. There’s a child inside of me, a product of Angelus and Darla. A real angel. A miracle. A sickening reminder of the things that I can never be, or have, or want; the vice around my heart tightens. I close my eyes and I can feel him and I want to be his ( Read more... )

Drumming my fingers on the counter, I dialed Angel's cell phone but got no answer. Call me crazy, but I might have heard something buzzing or ringing somewhere in hotel. Rolling my eyes a bit, I set the phone back in the cradle and hopped off the stool that I was sitting on. I needed to let Wesley know that Charles and Cordelia had found a place ( Read more... )

I had agreed to help him. Help him do what I was still a bit hazy on. Sure he had mentioned vampires, and loss and the usual ingrediants that lead to wanting vengeance on someone. However there was a lot more to this. I knew it. I could feel it. It was more than vengeance, it was all this guy had left.

"Very well. This ( Read more... )

Huh? None of this made any sense. When Wesley had given me this to work on I thought, Sure, I'll be able to handle this. No problem. But really? This was starting to get way more over my head than I thought it would. But I wasn't about to go back in Wesley's office and ask him for help. He seemed.. busy when I had been in there before. I ( Read more... )

I can hear them you know. All of them crying out for mercy, for someone to save them. Lives taken away from their families, their loved ones... all of them. Forced to live within an immortal coil. Forced into the shadows, into the night. Forced to feed on some that at one time might have been someone they knew. Then again that is thinking that ( Read more... )

Life has a funny way of working out. When I left LA, I honestly wasn't sure how far I'd get before someone from Wolfram and Hart tracked me down. I've always been confident, but I'm practical too. Expect the unexpected and learn to roll with the punches. That's the only way to survive in the world I've lived in. You can't just walk away from ( Read more... )

The moon was so bright through the windowpane, it cut right through the darkness and spilled across the wooden floor. Something....something wasn't right with it. Could feel that much without even takin' a look around the place. Something wrong. Tilting my chin up slightly I watched as lightning flashed across the window and lit up the room. The ( Read more... )

"Where are we supposed to go?" I asked Gunn for about the fifth time that minute, watching the wing mirror of his truck wearily. Truth be told? I wasn't sure what the hell was going on... I knew we were finding a safe place for Darla, which hey, I was all for.

She was carrying Angel's baby. Fine.

And okay, so I wasn't so hot on helping that ( Read more... )

To say that things had been worrisome lately would be an understatement. And I may be a master in the understatements, as Cordelia so gleefully loves to point out, but even I an see that using that word is putting it mildly. And as usual everything seems to be arriving at once. Of course evil never sleeps, which means that those fighting it do not ( Read more... )
