Title-Soon My Love
Disclaimer-Don't own em.
"Hey Buffy." Xander said as he met up with the Slayer in Sunnydale High's library. "Hey Xander." the normally exuberant girl said quietly." "What's wrong?" he asked. "Saw Angel last night. With Drusilla." Xander's eyes widened with shock. "With Drusilla? But I thought he was cured, and that her and Spike left town." Buffy's eyes blurred with tears. "So did I, but there they were, feeding together on some girl. And it was like I was frozen. I couldn't do anything about it. Some girl died because I was too afraid to face my deepest fear." Xander put his arms around Buffy, and held her tightly against his chest, rubbing her back. "Have you told Giles or anybody else yet?" he asked. "No. I haven't seen them yet. I was waiting for everyone to get here." she answered. "Okay." Xander let her go, and the two of them sat on the librarys check out counter, arms wrapped around each others waist, Buffy's head tilted on his shoulder as they waited for the rest of the Scooby Gang to arrive.
Giles, Cordelia, Oz, Willow, Xander, Buffy, and Faith sat around a table, while Buffy recounted her story. "You know what this means right?" Giles' asked his Slayer gently. Buffy nodded, "I have to kill him. Again. And I don't know if I can." Buffy said, and she started crying. Faith jumped up, knocking her chair over, angry at the sight of Buffys tears, and Angels betrayel. "No! You don't B! You're forgetting that there's two Slayers now. And I'm not letting you go through that again. I'll kill Angel." Buffy just shook head." No Faith. If anyone's going to kill Angel it's going to be me. It's the only way I'll be able to let go." Faith just rolled her eyes. "C'mon B. Last time you killed Angel, you went beserk, ran away, wen't to hell, then decided to come home. You're love for him is too strong. You're soul won't be able to handle it." Faith pleaded quietly. "I know." Buffy replied sadly.
Angelus stroked Drusillas long black hair gently. "Wake up babe. It's time to go." Drusilla opened
her eyes slowly, and smiled. "Do we get to kill the Slayer tonight?" she asked hopefully. Angelus smiled evilly. "Not the Slayer, not tonight anyways, I was thinking we'd start with one of her friends." Drusilla pouted, then smiled as she decided on who they should kill. "Can it be that boy? Xander?" she asked. Angelus slid his hand up Drusillas leg, loving the way his dark princess thought. "Whichever you want my love." he answered before kissing her passionatley.
Buffy paced through the library. "I don't want any of you going out unless either Faith, or I'm with you." she stated. The gang nodded their agreement, remembering that the last time Angel lost his soul he had been more intent on killing them than Buffy. "Giles, I wan't you and Willow to do the deinvitation spell thingy on everyones house. Either me or Faith will always be here. Now!" Buffy screamed, and Willow winced. "Okay. But we'll need supplies." the witch said. "Then Xander and Faith will go to the Magick Shop and get them. I'll stay here." Buffy said. Xander and Faith got the list of supplies and left. "If I see Angel he's a dead man." Faith called out over her shoulder as she left. "Do what you have to do to stay alive!" Buffy called back.
Faith walked down the street with Xander at her side. He was quieter than usual, she thought as they walked. "Look, I know we're not exactly close or anything, but I think I know you fairly well, so why haven't you said "I told you so" yet?" Faith asked. "Because Buffy doesn't need to hear it. She knows. Right now, the only thing keeping her sane is that no ones laying any blame on her." Xander answered. Faith just grunted and they walked into the Magick Shop.
They got back to the school as soon as they could. Buffy and the gang were still there, the only difference being that Buffy had changed into Slaying clothes. A pair of black leather pants, and a matching tank and jacket. "You got it all?" she asked. Faith nodded. " Good. I wan't you guys to stay here and research. Figure out what caused him to lose his soul again. I'm going patrolling." Buffy said, and left, ignoring Faiths arguments.
Buffy walked down the familiar streets of Sunnydale, fear, confidence, sadness and anger all running through her at once. She headed towards the Bronzed, knowing he would be there, looking for her, and that somehow this was different than the last time he had lost his soul. She knew in her own soul, that there was no chance of getting her Angel back this time. And that if it came down to it, if things didn't go as she had planned, that she would be able to kill him without hesitating. She found him and Dru feeding on a couple outside the Bronze, just as she had suspecte. "Hello lover." Buffy said, and Angelus looked up smirking, but still with a little bit of fear in his eyes.
Knowing if he wans't careful he would be dust within seconds.
"Jinkers!" Willow cried out. Everyone but Oz looked at her like she was crazy and she blushed prettily. "Sorry. Too many Scooby Doo reruns I guess." she laughed, to hide her embarresment. "Well, did you find something?" Faith asked. "Uh huh. Theres a spell in here that a vampire can use to free its sire from any type of curse. I'm guessing Drusilla used it to get Angelus back." Willow answered, handing Giles the book. "Well duh. Is there any way to reverse it?" Cordelia asked. "No." Willow answered sadly, shaking her head. She would give anything to change that, to see her bestfriend happy again. "Good." Cordelia, Xander and Faith said in unison. Willow glared at them. *(They just don't get it.)* she thought angrily.
Angelus dropped the dead body in his arms, stood up and grinned, blood dripping from his mouth. "I see you've discovered my little secret." he said, smirking, and then, making a split-second decision he grabbed Drusillas arm and started running. Buffy wasn't prepared for this and the shock prevented her from moving for a second. She chased after them as fast as she could, but she couldn't find them anywhere so she headed back to the library.
"Did you find them?" Giles asked Buffy when she got back. She nodded. "And?" Xander prodded. "They got away." she said with a frown. "I ran as fast as I could, but it's like they just dissapeared into thin air. Did you guys find anything?" she asked. Willow nodded and told her what she had found. "No cure huh? Well then, I'll jsut have to kill him. Drusilla too. That bitch is really
starting to annoy me. I never did getta pay her back for what she did to Kendra." Nobody said anything. "We need a plan." Cordelia said suddenly out of nowhere. "Already got one. We all go home, and get
some rest. Then, tomorrow night everyone comes over to my house and hangs out while Faith and I kill Drusilla and Angel." Buffy said. "Sounds like a plan to me." Faith said, always ready to kick some vampire ass. She got up to leave but Buffy stopped her. "You're staying with me tonight." Faith nodded and they headed back to her house, after escorting everyone home.
The Slayers changed into Slaying clothes silently. Pulling on matching black tanks, pants and jackets was serious business when you were about to face what they were. They climbed out Buffy's window, not wanting to disturb Buffy's mom, who was going over orders for the gallery and silenty worrying about her daughter. They walked in silence to Giles', Willow's, Xander's, Cordy's and Oz's, picking them up and walking them to Buffy's house. She had already told her mom what was going on, so there was no need for words, and no one would have known what to say anyways. After making sure everyone was safe and supplied Buffy kissed everyone goodbye and the Slayers left.
Angelus and Drusilla were waiting for them in the graveyard by the mansion. "I should have known you'd be waiting for me." Buffy smirked. "Hello lover." Angelus replied and Buffy flinched slightly causing Faith to step slightly forward, protectively. "Where's Drusilla? I can sense her but I can't see her." Faith whispered quietly to Buffy. Drusilla heard her and stepped out of the shadows. "Don't worry pretty kitten. I'm here and hungry, you'll make a tasty treat." Drusilla said in a sing-song voice, her vampire visage in place. "Well then, let's go." Faith said and the battle
begun.
Faith slid into a crouching position, and jumped over Drusillas head, landing behind her. Dru turned around and Faith punched her in the gut. Meanwhile, Buffy and Angelus sat side by side on the ground, watching in silence. It was an odd picture for sure, mortal enemies, sitting side by side, not even flinching or trying to kill each other. Both knew their time to battle would come, and they wanted it to be a private affair. They watched as Dru and Faith threw punches and kicks at each other, back and forth, until Faith finally put a stake in the vampiress' heart. Angelus flinched
slightly as Drusilla turned to dust, his name on her lips.
Buffy and Angel stood up. "Leave!" she screamed at Faith. "But B..." Faith started. "Now! Go to my house, and if I'm not back by sunrise, get my mom and friends as far outta town as you can by nightfall." Buffy yelled. Faith nodded and ran off. Buffy turned to Angel and punched him in the jaw, making him fly. He bounced right back up, and ran over to her. He caught her hands and growled, "Now, that wasn't very nice." Buffy grinned up at him and pressed her body against his. She released her hands and grabbed his neck, bringing his lips down to hers and kissing him hard. "You know what I wan't" she stated. She had planned this since she had discovered Angelus was back. She knew that she couldn't ever live without him again. He growled again and pulled her even closer, kissing her even harder. "Are you sure?" he asked, surprisingly calm. THis was what he had wanted from the very begginning. "Oh yes." Buffy answered. "Make me like you are." Angelus' vampire visage slid into place and he gently sank his fangs into Buffy's neck. He waited until he felt her heartbeat begin to slow, and her breathing to become labored before he slit his wrist and held it to her mouth. "Drink." he said and she drank greedily. Then fell to the ground. He picked her up and carried her into the mansion, laying her on his bed, and gently brushing the hair out of her eyes. "Soon my love." he whispered quietly before leaving to get her something to eat. She'd be hungry when she woke.
