THAT DAY, IN THE LIBRARY....
"But thats impossible", Willow tried to reason after Buffy told them the whole story about Angel being in her room.
"Believe me Will, he was there", Buffy replied.
"Well...I mean...he can't do that. We reversed the spell, remember?", she answered.
"Well I guess he UN-reversed it", Buffy said with little enthusiasim.
"Yes..well..that would explain the stolen book of spells", Giles finally piped in.
"Yeah, well can't you just fix it again so he can't come in?", Xander spoke up while eating a bag of chips.
"Well what good will that do since he'd just un-do it again",Cordelia replied. "And you really should ease up on the chips Xand, I don't want to be dating an oil factory".
"But anyway..", Xander said, ignoring Cordelia.
"It just really creeps me out knowing that he was in my room. I mean he even saw me.....", Buffy didn't finish her sentence.
"Well why would he even do something like that? I mean, why put you in your pajamas and tuck you in? Couldn't he just have killed you?", Willow asked.
"I believe changing Buffy's clothes and letting her know what he had done as well as leaving a note is his way of getting in Buffy's head and sort of...trying to "creep her out" as you would put it", Giles replied.
"Well it definatly worked", Buffy said with a shiver."So what should I do Giles? I mean, he can get in my house any time he wants now".
"Don't be afraid of the boogie man Buff. I mean just cause he saw you naked....twice....doesn't mean you have to fear him. You're the Slayer so....slay", Xander said as he crumpled the bag of chips and threw it across the room trying to get it in the waste basket. It missed.
"I thought I told you not to eat in the library Xander", Giles said.
"Yeah pig man, why don't you go live with your brothers and sisters in the pen?", Cordelia retorted.
"Very funny. I'd love to stay and chat, but I have an appointment to...meet the...janitor", he said gesturing to Cordelia to come with him.
"Yeah", she said a little to quickly. "I better go catch up on my geometry. Mr. Teedle was pretty harsh with the homework yesturday", she said as she followed Xander out of the library.
"Well like we don't know what they do", Willow said after they'd gone.
"What?", Giles asked.
Buffy and Willow exchanged glances
"Nevermind Giles", Buffy spoke up."So anyway, what should I do?".
"Yes,Well, until I can figure out how to get the book back, I'm afraid you're just going to have to stay on your guard and always make sure you have a stake with you", he replied.
"Yippy for me", Buffy said as she rolled her eyes.
LATER, IN THE FACTORY:
Spike and Drusilla sat in the main room of the factory.
"What I wouldn't have given to have seen her face when she realized that I had been there", Angel said as he stepped into the room.
"My Angel has been playing? Tell mommy what you played with", Drusilla breathed as she left Spike's side to go to Angel.
Spike, jealous of Drusilla's sudden attention to Angel remained where he was and didn't bother to greet Angel.
"Carla Laurelle", Angel replied to Drusilla as he kissed her hands and ignored Spike.
"Did you kill her for me?", Drusilla asked
"No. That will come later my darling", He said, grabbing her chin and pulling it up to meet his gaze."First...I want to get in her head. To make her weak.", he said as he began to dance with her.
"So you didn't kill her? Big surprise. You always seem to lack the courage", Spike finally spoke up.
"Oh..Spike my boy. Didn't see you there, what with you being in such a low position and all", Angel said letting go of Drusilla and bending over Spike.
"I'll kill her soon enough. You forget I've had her blood on my lips before. Its sweet..and pure. Have you ever tasted the Slayer's blood Spike?", Angel said in a taunting manner.
"You know...I'll enjoy watching the Slayer beat your bloody ass before I kill her", Spike retorted.
"Will you now?", Angel said with a laugh.
"Boys..my darlings..don't fight, you know I don't like it", Drusilla said as she put her arms around Angel.
Angel turned to Drusilla and bent to her ear. "I'll drink the Slayer's blood tonight", he whispered.
LATER THAT EVENING
Buffy patroled the cemetary early. She hadn't been home yet, and she didn't really feel like going home either.
, she thought.
No vampires were in sight. She passed a few graves and stopped in front of Jenny Calendar's to pay her respects before moving on.
, she thought with frustration.
Buffy looked around.
she thought gloomily. < I really don't want to go home. It's only 11:30! >
Seeing there were no vampires out, Buffy trudged on home, as much as she hated it.
Once inside the house she went upstairs to change. She put on a pair of sweat pants and a tank and then went downstairs for a drink. In the kitchen she found a note from her mom.
"Sorry honey, I have to go back to the Gallery for some work that has to be done. There's pizza in the fridge if you're hungry. I'll be home late", it read.
, Buffy thought.
She locked all the doors and went into the living room to watch t.v. she thought, glancing at the door.
She turned on "I love Lucy" and quickly fell asleep.
Buffy woke with a start. was her first thought. She glanced at the t.v. An old war movie had come on with cannons firing and machine guns blasting loudly. Buffy turned down the volume and layed back down when her spider-tingley feeling started.
she thought.
She sat back up and looked around the room. Nothing looked out of the ordinary. she thought as she layed back down.
Then the sense came back. Stronger this time.
Buffy jumped up off the couch and crouched in her fighting stance.
Nothing happend.
She could feel that something wasn't right, but she didn't know what. She looked around the room one more time when her eyes came to rest on the clock. It was only 12:00. She had gotten home at 11:45 so she had only been sleeping for about 10 minutes. She turned and looked at the t.v.
she thought.
She checked the channels until she had found Lucy on a completely different channel.
she thought with panic. she thought, answering her own question.
She glanced around the room for a weapon.
she thought with frustration and fear.
She slowly made her way out of the living room. As she entered the kitchen she saw the window opened at the same time she heard a door slam shut somewhere in the house.
she thought with rising fear as she ran blindly up the stairs and into her room. She slammed the door shut and locked it behind her.
"Hello Lover", a voice said behind her.
"Damn! I practically ran right into his arms!", she thought as she turned around.
"Hello Lover", she reiterated.
"Aww, now are we alone this time? No friends around?", he asked.
"No. Just me, but I'll kick your ass anyway", she retorted back.
"Now thats not a very nice thing to say. You'll apoligize after you join me", he said as he took a step towards her.
Buffy looked around the room quickly. There was a stake on her dresser, but Angel was between her and it.
"What? You were looking at that?", he said as he gestured to the stake. "I was more hoping you were looking at that", he said as he gestured to the bed.
With newly refueled anger Buffy attacked him with a kick to the groin, which paralyzed him enough to where she got in a backhand and a punch to the face before he regained his composure and slammed her in the stomach.
"Daddy doesn't like it when mommy hits", he said.
"Get used to it", she retorted
He grabbed her by her hair and pulled hard.
"I'll have to teach you a lesson", he said.
He slammed her into the wall hard. She fell to the floor and doubled over in pain. He kicked her in her side, sending an new wave of pain up her body. Before he could kick he again she kicked up with her leg, catching him in the side and knocking him off balance. He remained standing, but that was all the time she needed to get up and attack with a spin-kick. He retaliated with a side-sweep that tripped her to the floor.
"Do we always have to fight when we meet?", She asked. "I mean.. whatever happend to just kissing and making up?".
"Well...if you insist..."he said as he bent down to her neck.
She knocked him aside and bolted out the door. She was halfway down the stairs when he jumped on her from the balcony, throwing them both down the rest of the stairs together. After they had landed, Angel rolled over to see that Buffy had been knocked out.
"Well well. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen", he said to her unconsious body. Or so he thought.
Throwing him off guard she came out of her pretend faint and slammed him in the stomach.
"No, why don't you get out of my kitchen", she said as she scrammbled up the stairs again and ran back into her room.
She had just picked up the stake when he came into the room. He tackled her, throwing his whole weight against her body, knocking her to the bed. He then picked her up by her neck and threw her onto the bed.
"Like I always say...make love, not war", he said as he brought his elbow up and slammed it down hard into her chest, knocking the air out of her.
As she lay there gasping for breath he layed on top of her and pinned her down.
"Think about it Buff. I could make you one of us. You could be with me", he said.
"...NO..." she said between hacking breaths.
"Well, you have no choice", he said.
His face morphed into his vampiric features as he bit into her neck once again.
Buffy life flashed before her eyes. Willow, Giles, Her mom, Cordelia, Xander, everybody!
< I can't leave them > she thought.
With a new found stregth she threw Angel off with such force that he crashed through the window and landed on the ground below with a sickening thud.
Buffy stood up, but immediatly past out from all the blood loss.
Buffy woke up in a hospital
"Mom?", she weased. It hurt to talk.
"I'm right here honey. Oh thank god you're safe. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost you", her mom said as she came to Buffy's side.
"Angel", Buffy said through coughs.
"What? Do you see an Angel?" her mom asked confusidly.
"Happend?", Buffy asked.
"What? Oh! What happend. Well I was coming home from the Gallery when I saw this strange man in the yard. He walked like he was hurt or something, but he was getting ready to go back into the house. He ran off when he saw me coming. Actually he didn't run, he sort of hobbled off", she said.
Buffy smiled.
"I ran into the house and found you passed out on the floor. There was blood everywhere. I called 911 immediatly. The doctors said he must have cut your throat or something, but you would be okay. They gave you some extra blood.", her mom said.
"The police will find who did it. He must have taken the knife with him though because it wasn't in the house. Oh! and I brought you your homework you'd missed. I thought you might want to catch up. I also found this strange book in your room. Honey, I don't think I want you reading stuff like this", she said as she handed Buffy the stolen spells book.
Buffy thought.
Buffy smiled. She would be okay. Until Angel decided to attack again.
