Author note: O.k., first I would like to empathies again that my mother tongue
isn’t English so pls. Be patient (some people has asked me why am I writing
than, my answer- I have some ideas and tales to tell so if you can bare this
you might like it :-). Secondly, I had to write this chapter in order to
explain Angelus actions I changed a bit his history so it will fit my fic.
I see Angelus as a demon, I haven’t decided yet if he is capable of loving
buffy but he cares about her. My Angelus is vicious and cruel but he can
be very gentle to his Buffy, I don’t like fluffy Angelus (this will probably
suit Spike)so… Not a pleasant chapter.
Dawn thought she will surely die and this time her sister will not help her,
ho she was alone alright, very much alone. She could talk her way out of
it but by the look of the angry vampire she knew that this will be useless.
“Where do you think you’re going?” he demanded very possessively.
Dawn tried her best not to anger him, further “I…I just thought that I could
help Buffy.”
“Is that so?”
“Yess.” She hesitate.
He let go of her arm and relaxed “After all you heard, about Angelus running
loose you still gonna act like a little brat? Do you think that Buffy will
appreciate this?”
“No she won’t” came a voice behind them and they turned around to face one
pissed of slayer.
“What do you think you are doing?” Buffy tried her best not to loose her
temper but she knew very well that it could have been someone else finding
Dawn.
Dawn was angry, forgetting for a second that she did wrong by lying to her
sister and Spike, by sneaking out of the house but she was 15 and she thought
that she could take care of herself, she does not need Buffy to protect over
her all the time, Why those everyone think of her as a child? Spike wouldn’t
although he looked pissed as well. And she did try to help them so from her
point of view she was innocent.
“I was only trying to help you, don’t yell at me. I can take care of myself
Buffy. I am not afraid of Angelus”
“Well you should Dawn, should be really afraid of him. You don’t really know
what he is capable of, the horrible things he’s done. And speaking of taking
care of yourself, Do I need to remind you of this Halloween party where you
let a vampire kiss you? Or the wish you made to this Helfrek demon? Or was
it the stolen items, do you want me to go one? Because I can.” Buffy put
her hands on her hips. At that moment She looked to Dawn more like a mad
aunt then her young sister.
Dawn bit on her lower lip, tears coming to her eyes now, trying her best
not to cry in front of her sister.
Spike tried to be gentle with her although when he saw her climbing out of
this window he wanted to rip her heart out.
“Ah, Dawn, big sis is right here. We are talking about Angelus here, not
just A vampire but a master vampire. You could be in danger. We’re only looking
after you.” He wanted to be gentle with her but Dawn was suborn as hell,
just like his Buffy.
By the look her sister gave, buffy could tell that it had slightest effect
on Dawn. Although she wasn’t a slayer, she was still her sister and held
qualities that weren’t specific for slayers, just for a Summers girl, as
such as stubborn, rude and very independent, just like Buffy before she became
the slayer. No, this time it won’t work. She has to tell her sister the truth,
even scare her. Dawn must understand the great danger, the vampire called
Angelus and pep talk won’t do the trick. She approached differently, smiling
to herself that the few psychology class she was taking at the university
might actually come in handy this time.
“Dawn I am sorry, I was wrong. Of curse You can help us but before you do
that I would like to tell you a few things about Angelus.”
Both Spike and Dawn were surprised of the change in Buffy’s behavior. Spike
thought she was loosing it, Dawn helping them, with what? Dawn just shrugged
her shoulders mumbling her o.k
“You see, “ Buffy continued very carefully, not backing off. God she thought,
give me the courage to do this. “Angelus is a very vicious creature. Take
for example Drusila, before he turned her he tortured her and killed her
family.”
Dawn shivered lightly “I know that Buffy, Giles told us.”
“yes, but what the others don’t know is what exactly happened, and this you
should know. If you still think that you can help us”.
Bloody hell, Spike thought, is she really going to tell what happened? The
cruelty and darkness of his former sire wasn’t a good night story tail to
a 15 year old girl, especially Dawn. Buffy gave him a look of warning ,indicating
him not to interfere, which he didn’t.
“Dawn, do you want to hear?” She asked again, giving Dawn and herself a last
way out, maybe she won’t have to that, maybe Dawn will say no.
“Yes” she heard her little sister answer quickly probably before Buffy would
change her mind.
Buffy gasped for a minute. Is she really going through with this? By the
look of curiosity Dawn gave her she knew the answer for that. She breathed
heavily and gathered her strength.
“Angelus used mind games on his victims, especially young and innocents girls
like Drusila. She had a puppy that she adored, her father gave it to her.
Angel ones told me that since she was kinda weird with her thoughts and forsaking
the future she had no friends so her father bought her this puppy. She loved
him very much and took care of him, he was her best friend. She used to slip
with him in bed, feeling his warm little body close to her, like she has
a little baby. One Morning she woke up to find blood in her bed. Angelus
cut the puppy throat and left it on the window. The puppy only been the first
to go. Angelus killed her family and her friends little she had ,so eventually
she was sent to a convent but Angelus found her there. At the same day she
was suppose to accept her duties as a nun, he showed up at night like a dark
shadow and killed all of her friends. When Drusila was left alone with him
he dragged her to the alter where he tortured her for hours and raped her.
When she was mad and soaking in her own blood he turned her. Do you want
me to continue?”
Dawn was crying openly now , not carrying what would Buffy say. So much pain,
her mind couldn’t even begin to consume all of this. She cried for the girl
who was raped and tortured, for the poor puppy who was slathered and for
the cruelty of one. How could she ever thought she could take care of herself?
She wasn’t sure if Buffy could do that. She felt so stupid and irresponsible.
What would have happened to her as Angelus would have caught her? She looked
in her sister and finely realized what a slayer was. It wasn’t about the
physical strength but the inner strength, came to term with the fact that
maybe, just maybe you will not face the next day because you have to save
the world from creatures like Angelus. And she was sorry for her young beautiful
sister that had to endure all this pain.
“I am sorry” all she could say as she cried and ran to the house.
Only then Buffy aloud herself to break as she fell to the ground, her legs
trembling under the fair slayer.
Spike held her there as she cried in his arms.
“What have I done? She will probably have nightmare over this” she tried
to explain between tears “I only wanted her to understand who is Angelus
and she will hate me for that, she will.”
“Shh, luv. She knows, she will not hate you. Buffy, look at me luv, no don’t
cry, please. You did the right thing. You did. I know that it was painful
seeing her cry nearly ripped my bloody heart out but. should know because
you won’t always be there to protect her. I think she got it now so she’s
safe” He assured her as he held her chine and looked straight in those green-
hazel eyes. He felt her warm breath on his cold face and her red lips trembled
in despair. Very gently he brushed his lips over hers. She didn’t push him
away, this time it was comfort and need, it wasn’t about lust. Slowly the
kiss became intense and Buffy asked him just to hold her.
“Always luv” he mumbled. His cold pale fingers tangled in her blond short
hair.
In the shadows someone was watching them, a very dark creature that held
a promise of torture and death to those who dare to challenge him.
Angelus growled in silent, no one could hear him, not even his traitor child,
but ho they will. No one will take what his and she was his, every inch of
her body was his. He had great plans for his Buffy, his eternal mate and
sharing wasn’t including. He had to wait for the right time . didn’t want
to loose his patient. Ho Buffy will be his for all eternity and if things
will go as planned he will never have to let her go.
As the night came and all the lights in the Summers residence turned off
he watched the two lovers go inside the house comforting each other. He wanted
to rip her from the arms of his child and claim her as his again. No, he
will have to wait, knowing that waiting is a virtue, although the grudge
in his pens thought differently. He smelled their arousal, both child and
mate and his dark thoughts blur his mind.
“ Soon enough she will realize whom she belongs to and this time it will
be forever.”
