((From HEREFred and I walked in silence from Angel's room, both of us no doubt lost in our own thoughts. If Fred's mind were anything like mine at that moment, it was a swirl of confused feelings and an almost overwhelming sense of uncertainty ( Read more... )

I made sure Lindsey and I were the first ones to the conference room. Punctuality is a good thing, but I've always been of the opinion that arriving early is even better. I was almost surprised by how nervous I wasn't. One day, and I'd already began to settle into my new position. Lindsey and I were getting along well enough. He didn't seem to be ( Read more... )

I wasn't really sure what to do when we finally reached the hotel. What were we there for, anyway? Faith had never specified... but I guess it felt right, going there. I wanted to get one last look at the place, anyway. Maybe see if I'd left anything behind... or if maybe my dad had. Now that everyone was gone... it would have been nice to have ( Read more... )

Sometimes I honestly don't know what the hell I'm thinking. I have a nice life, I like my life. Sure, I do have the responsibility of getting a slay or two in every night, and that's stopped me from having a couple of really good evenings, but all in all, I do just fine. I have my health, my education, a nice apartment, financial stability. I don't ( Read more... )

Or at least the emotions running wild, and the tension that you can cut with a knife. Angel's got his usual issues up the wa and past the zoo, but I'm getting something else much more dramatic is up, even though I doubt I'll hear about it just yet. I'm sort of wondering where Freddikins and Cordelia are hiding, and if they're okay. For some reason ( Read more... )

"We can't keep Illyria Angel. She is a danger. Not just to the world, not just to me, but to Fred. She's already threatened her life."
"So what do we do with her? I mean...it's not like she's a puppy we can just return..right? She's powerful and...blue."I stayed outside the office where the vampire had hidden himself and listened to their voices ( Read more... )

The lobby was getting a little crowded for my tastes. Gunn, Lorne, Spike, Harmony... it was all a little much. I wordlessly excused myself from the room, looking only to Lorne as I did so. "Just... make yourself at home. You know you're welcome to," I told him, offering what I hoped was a warm smile, if on the small side. I turned and left then, ( Read more... )

"It was nice meeting you Alex, give me a ring if you need anything."I said my goodbyes and got on my way. They seemed like a nice couple of kids. I liked them, a lot. I pocketed Carly's number instead of just shoving it into my bag, wanting to make sure it was kept safe until I got home. No doubt I'd be calling it before too long, whether it was ( Read more... )

I can't believe I let Spike use me like that! He was being too nice, bordeline sweet, and the bottom line is that I should have known. There were so many warning signs; his hair for one. Colored and styled by NASA, commonly mistaken for an oil slick. Then there was that speech about wanting to make me stop crying. He just wanted me to shut up long ( Read more... )

I looked at Harmony and Spike ( Read more... )
