I Owe My Blood To You

[spuffycrusade83]

"Such lovely skin for a slayer.......... I wonder what it'll look like all bruised and battered!" "Hmm, let's test it out shall we!?!"

Buffy grabbed a crowbar and struck her face 10 times and then her back 10 times.

"Such beautiful face......... Shall I peel it off too!?!"

She took out a hand carved dagger and traced it along her jaw.

"Passion is such a beautiful thing......... Do you like passion?"

Buffy sighed. "You know I don't like it when you follow me around like a lost puppy Angel. So, come out of hiding and show yourself. (Then) If you dare.........."

"So, you see? He wasn't really worth it..."

So far, there was the candle wax. Then, the dagger. Along came the crowbar. The list just goes on and on...

Buffy's demon truly WAS a horrifying sight.

Faith: Just get it over with Buffy!

Everything was going smoothly and she didn't want to ruin it.

It would spoil her next surprise.

"Faith, it took me hours just to track you down. Boy, you sure are a workload!"

"You were my sire, my yoda... What happened to you!?!"

Angel: I changed Spike. I have a soul............

"No, you turned into a simpering coward is what you are!"

"Such beautiful eyes....... Let's see how you'll like it when I pull them out!"

She grabbed an ice cream scoop and dug it into one eye, popping the iris from the socket. Faith heard herself scream, the sound blasting into her ear drums. "God, I was never this horrible to you!"

Buffy had to suppress a laugh. "Not horrible...?!?" "How can you call being a ho not horrible!?!"

"Be serious Faith, you were the worst!" She went onto list the number of things that made her horrible.

"For one, you were a boyfriend stealing sl*t.........! Two, you tortured me while trying to kill my boyfriend. By the way, I still haven't forgiven you for that! Three, you made me look like an idiot in front of everyone. And four, you being YOU!"

Buffy smiled when she felt his eyes on her.

"You kept me waiting... never never used to", he said breathlessly.

Buffy merely watched him pace and jutted out a pout, "Isn't that my right...?"

Faith: Why did you come here Spike? To get in on the torture!?!

"You see? While this is fun and all, I don't plan on keeping you alive!"

"Just wanted to see you", "I missed you."

She rolled her eyes sardonically.

"Gee, lover, you never wrote!"

He risked moving his hand over her cheek to caress her skin, ice and perfection. Still beautiful as the first day he'd seen her. Her hair still held the faintest glimmer of his forbidden sunlight, nor had her rose-red lips forgotten their color. It was simply pulling him in.

"You're ruthless; you're cruel. Your beauty would lure any man to his death...you'd kill a bloke just for stepping on your shoes."

She seemed to pout when he stopped. "What else?"

Spike: Just seems like you're not my golden one anymore.

"You don't want me like this...?"

Spike: No, you don't get it. I do, but it has to be your choice.

"Then, let me play!", she stomps her foot and pouts.

"Oh, look at that lip, I'm going to get it!" He caught her lower mouth in between his teeth and nuzzled it with his tongue.

Faith: Hate to interrupt Ice Princess, but aren't you going to finish what you started!?!

"God, it took so long to rig those doors!"

Angel: Buffy....

"What!?!"

"Be careful... o.k.?"

[spuffycrusade83]

Faith: Angel was just looking out for you... You should have listened.

"Do you think for one minute that I don't worship death?", she replied heatedly.

Faith: You were weak even as a human. And now, you're just cold...

"I almost killed you Faith... That says a LOT.............!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I plan to celebrate after this is OVER!"

"Ooooooh, did you break the girl.........?", came Drusilla's voice from the entryway.

Spike: What are you doing here... Dru?

"Mummy was getting bored of the pretty dear and want to come home............."

'Oh please my Spike, you can't deny your dark princess anything!'

Spike: Bloody HELL Dru, you left me for a Krel-groo!

"So... no thank you! I've had enough!"

'You let the nasty bugger take our bed! And if that wasn't enough, I had to WATCH!'

"Go home Dru.............", he said in a resigned voice.

[spuffycrusade83]

But Dru's attention weren't on him anymore. Something edged her forward, right in the face of Faith. She lowered herself to the ground and grabbed a fistful of brown hair. "There's so much power in you..............." "So much strength..............."

Then, she lowered her mouth to her ear, "Will you give me strength...............?"

Her face shifted and her tongue swept over the salty skin before biting down. Metallic copper filled the air with its sweet ambrosia. She gulped greedily, getting out every last drop.

"Give me strength, sister", Drusilla's fangs elongated and she sank them down... deep. She silently cackled at the chanting upstairs. Silly demons, didn't they know that the game had ended?

He ran into the dark alley, an inhuman scream ripped out of his lungs. Angel's eyes glowed white in the dark as he could feel his soul being torn out. Once again, he had lost to a moment of passion. It wasn't Buffy or Faith this time around. Amazingly, it was Cordelia. The little cheer girl had slowly erased all memories of Buffy from his mind and had taken her place in his heart. He should have known time and distance wouldn't allow it.

"Oh god Cordy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "CORDELIA.............!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Angel's body crashed to the ground.

Dru suddenly pushed Faith away and grabbed her head, "I have to get to daddy!" Colliding with Buffy, she ran through the door. "Daddy, I'm coming!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She'd never tried drugs, but she imagined that the feeling in her buzzing head was close to what they would feel like. Her head swam as she took swallow after swallow. "Is this what flying feels like............?", her voice was unsteady and she knew it. Words cannot even begin to describe the things she was feeling. There was nothing that can measure up to this. "You need to stop, otherwise I'll be too weak............" Easing out of his flesh, she felt an acute loss. "That was... What the hell was that!?!" "It's the blood of family", was all he could say. "Oh... Come on, spill............!"
