Suggestions by: Marie Nomad
1: A chapter title - Living Lies
2: Three lines that someone has to say – “I think I just turned gay.” “Lavender is your color.” “Michael Jackson is a demon.”
3: Giles heads off to confront who he thinks has summoned the demon who is that and why did they do it? (It doesn't have to be anybody from the series) Angel at Wolfram and Hart and Giles doesn't trust him.
4: Xander heads off to the hospital to visit Faith what is the painful thing he confides to Kennedy about as she watches over Faith? He had lied to Buffy at least twice.
5: after taking her form Demon Dawn has to hide Dawns body where is that? A vampire bar (It's a bar for humans who like being like vampires).
Esmeralda worked behind the bar quietly. She brushed back her jet black hair to reveal her heavily eye shadowed eyes. She smiled at the customers showing her false fangs to the others who entered the bar. She loved working at ‘The Lonely Ones’ because, more then anything, she wanted to be a vampire. She’d been a big fan of Ann Rice novels since she was a little girl and fell in love with the aristocratic lifestyle portrayed inside them.
Walking up to the bar was Dorian. He flowing silk shirt and formal black pants instantly catching her attention as his long flowing hair swept majestically away from his chocolate brown eyes. He walked up to the bar and smiled at the Woman.
“Lavender is your color,” he said to her admiring her purple outfit, “You should wear it more often.”
“You’re not so bad yourself.” She replied
He leaned against the bar. His eye’s staring deeply into hers.
“What are you doing after your shift?”
Esmeralda smiled back.
“What do you want to do?”
“I have a couple Ideas. But you’re going to have to get out of your dress for most of them.”
“I think I can do that.”
“Great, I’ll pick you up at eleven.”
Dorian turned and walked away. Morrisey, the man working with Esmeralda behind the bar, walked over and joined her.
“I think I just turned gay.” He joked
Esmeralda nudged him playfully.
“Oh, while where talking,” Morrisey continued, “There’s a problem in the girls bathroom.”
“What is it?”
“This girl came in a few minutes ago with a friend and neither has been out since. I think they’ve been drinking.”
“Alright I’ll check it out.”
Esmeralda walked out from behind the bar and went into the bathroom. She tried to open each of the stall doors to see if they would open. Finally she found the one that wouldn’t budge. It was the stall placed right at the end of the bathroom next to the open window.
“Come on I know you’re in there,” Esmeralda yelled, “Come out or I’m opening the door.”
There was no sound. Esmeralda got impatient and forced the door open. Dawn was lying on the floor unconscious. Esmeralda knelt down to see if she was okay. As soon as she got close to the teenager she could smell the alcohol. She rolled her eyes and Picked Dawn up from the ground. Taking her into the back room she lay Dawn down on the sofa in the break room. Morrisey stood next to Esmeralda and looked at her.
“Looks like some one over did it.” Morrisey commented
“Looks like,” Esmeralda replied, “We’ll let her sleep it off then we’ll call her parents.”
Kennedy sat quietly next to Faith as the injured slayer slept peacefully.
“How’s she doing?” Xander asked from the doorway
Kennedy looked over to him and smiled lightly.
“Better,” she replied, “The doctors say she could be going home in a couple of days.”
“That’s great,” Xander replied
He moved over to the bed and saw the various cuts and burses on faiths head and arms. Xander couldn’t hold it in any longer he’s been carrying this for too long and had to tell someone.
“This is all my fault.” He said sadly
“Hey, don’t talk like that,” Kennedy said, “It happened so fast Faith just didn’t have time to react least that what Buffy tells me.”
“Buffy’s wrong,” Xander replied, “They had plenty of time to react I just didn’t warn them.”
Kennedy looked up at Xander curiously
“But you told Buffy . . .”
“I lied.”
There was a long silence between them. Kennedy could feel Xanders pain from here.
“Why?”
“I don’t know,” Xander replied pulling up a chair, “I guess I just didn’t want to disappoint her, You know. I had to be all brave and stiff-upper-lippy for so long now that I don’t know who I am.”
“How many times have you done it?”
“It’s been at least twice now. You know that scar on Dawns forehead?”
“You mean the one she got when we all went patrolling together?”
“Yeah it wasn’t because the vamp jumped her it was because I hesitated,” Xander explained, “I can’t do this anymore Ken. After Anya died reality hit home for me. I’m scared all the time and now I’m just getting people hurt.”
Xander lowered his head. Kennedy pouted and placed her hand on his.
“It’s not easy being the normal guy Xander, I understand that, but you mean more to this group then you think.”
Xander looked over to her curiously.
“You’re our glue,” Kennedy explained, “You keep the group together and keep our moral up, I mean; you always know how to make me smile.”
Xander smiled briefly at her but that quickly faded.
“Thanks for the support Ken but it’s time for someone else to be the glue.”
“What do you mean?”
Xander sighed. He knew he had to say it but he was having a hard enough time admitting it.
“I’m leaving.”
“For how long?”
Xander’s silence explained everything.
“Oh,” she replied, “Have you told Buffy yet.”
From his pocket Xander pulled out an envelope.
“I’m leaving them a letter. It took me two days to write. You don’t want to see mount A4 in my bedroom.”
Kennedy saw the tears welling up in Xanders eyes. Kennedy sighed and smiled at him.
“Do what you think is right,” she replied, “We’ll all miss you you know.”
Xander nodded and got to his feet.
“I’ll call when I get to where I’m going.” He said
Gunn sat in Angel’s office slowly shaking his head. He had a folder in his hands and was reading the contents in disbelief.
“This ain’t right,” he snapped at the vampire, “tell me this ain’t right.”
“Sorry Gunn. I checked it out twice myself.” Angel replied
“So . . . Michael Jackson is a demon?”
“His real name is Macarios he’s the demon king of his own hell dimension. They replaced the original one back in the early eighties but they had a problem maintaining the skin pigment that’s why he ended up white.”
“Man. thriller has a whole new meaning now.”
“Like it or not we still have to stop him.”
“What the plan Angel all out assault.”
“No, too dangerous, Neverland Ranch is one of the most heavily defended Demon lairs ever created,” Angel explained, “the strike team would be completely vaporized before they even get there.”
“Then what are we left with?”
“I don’t know,” Angel replied, “That’s why I brought you in. If we can’t do it physically we might be able to do it legally.”
Gunn thought about this for a moment.
“I know this isn’t our style but maybe we could pin something on him.” he replied
“What do you mean?”
“Well why don’t we say he did something with kids,” Gunn replied, “You remember that case a few years back.”
“Do you think you can draw it out long enough to give us time to try and stop him?”
“Oh I can have this trial goin’ for months.”
“Do it.”
Gunn stood up from his seat and left the room. Angel returned to consulting some of his files when the intercom buzzed. Angel sighed and pressed the button
“What is it Harmony?”
“What creepy old Watcher guy is here to see you boss.” Harmony replied
“Who?”
“The one who worked with Buffy, you know, Jill.”
“You mean Giles?”
“That’s him,” Harmony replied, “can I send him in he’s kinda creeping me out.”
“Send him in Harmony.”
Angel closed his folder and waits patiently. The double doors open and Giles is lead into the room.
“Giles,” Angel said cheerfully, “Good to see you.”
“I wish I could say the same Angel but I believe we have a matter to discuss.” Giles replied
“Alright, what do have in mind?”
Giles stood silently for a moment. A couple of seconds later he pulls out the crossbow he has hidden under his jacket and aimed it at Angel. Angel put his hands up defensively.
“Whoa what are you doing?”
“Why did you do it Angel?”
“Do what?”
“Why did you release Archegion? You know how dangerous he is.”
“Archegion’s free?” Angel asked in surprise
“Don’t play innocent with me you and I both know he was stored in this office,” Giles replied, “A few of my contacts tell me that the only way he could have been released if the CEO authorized it.”
“Giles I had nothing to do with this.”
“You’ve changed Angel. You didn’t honestly think you could take the rains of the source of evil in this city and not be corrupted.”
“I swear to you I did not do this,” Angel said insistently, “But I can find out who did.”
“What makes you think I’m going to believe you?”
“Like you said, you and I both know he was here, but that doesn’t mean that we’re the only ones.”
