Swimming With an Angel: Swimming With an Angel
by KrazyGirl
It was a hot summer night. Buffy Summers had planned to go for a midnight swim at Sunnydale Community Pool. Her mother was in LA for the weekend, and Buffy could do whatever she wanted. Unfortunatly, that 'whatever' mostly included vampires and demons- and Angel. Buffy smiled to herself, and slipped into her most sexiest swimsuit. She admired herself in the mirror. Oh, Angel is gonna love this! she thought to herself. Grabbing a towel, a stake, and a watch, she left.

Naturally, the gate to the pool was locked, but Buffy used her slayer strength to leap over it with ease. She dove gracefully into the cool waters. Even at night, the pool felt good. She swam a few backstrokes and did some dives off the board. Buffy checked her watch- it was 2:30 am! She climbed out of the pool and wrapped up in her cotton towel. Just as she was putting on her flip-flops, someone grabbed her from behind. A HUGE vampire lifted her up into the air. He was about 7'7, burly, and very mean. He squeezed Buffy's chest hard.

Buffy could feel her bones being crushed under this horrendous weight. She distincly heard cartilage and tendons SNAP! inside of her. She gasped outloud, squeaking in pain.

"Good-bye, stupid Slayer!" sneered the vampire. Just as the world went black, the vampire dropped Buffy. She hit the wet ground hard, near the edge of the pool. She managed to open her eyes a crack. Though blurred, she saw Angel fighting the vampire.

"My . . . bag . . ." she whispered to Angel. Angel whipped out a stake from Buffy's bag.

The vampire ducked the blow from Angel, and succeded in kicking Buffy closer to the pool. Buffy stopped with her arms in the pool. He head was barely touching the edge. Angel staked the big vampire, and he fell backwards- onto Buffy. Buffy plummeted into the deep end of the pool. The huge vamp crumbled into dust. Angel sighed heavily. His face was a mass of sweat and blood. He dove into the pool after Buffy.

He grabbed Buffy's limp form from the flloor, and swam for surface. He pulled her out of the depths. She wasn't breathing! He raced for a pulse- nothing! Angel's mind was overflowing with memories. He saw Buffy lying dead in the water, the Master sucking away her life, Xander doing CPR- CPR! That's it! But no, he didn't have any breath. Angel didn't care. He breathed life into Buffy. He repeated the steps, forcing air into her lungs. Buffy coughed and sputtered, water gushing from her mouth. Her eyes flew open.

"Angel?" she asked.

"I'm here. I'm here." said Angel, reassuringly. He rocked Buffy back and forth in his arms. They were together, alive and well.
