Walking with Justin

Aug 13, 2006 16:42

Nothing could have prepared me for the direction things were about to take at the moment. Tonight was supposed to be about Homecoming. Celebrating. I think it's what Willow would have wanted. I couldn't say the same for Cordelia. She's a vampire now. She doesn't care. Although, we could have celebrated for her in a different. Well, for ( Read more... )

"Look, I'm not going to kill you. It's just a bit of a shock that you have a soul, too. In the prophecies, it was always believed that Angel was the only vampire with a soul. But, I guess you wouldn't be in the books if this happened to you, recently."

I didn't know about any prophecy type of stuff. Adria and Brandy, being British and in the house with Fangdan and Rory, who had done this to me, knew about them, but never really discussed anythign with me.

"I don't know much about prophecies, Buffy, but it seems to me that if it was prophecized, it was probably prophecized long before it happened to me. I don't see how anyone or thing could know that Rory was going to do that to me, to set me up like that, or that the Sofilar demons' holy watered blood wouldn't kill me upon contact..."

"This did happen recently, right?"

I nodded.

"Angel told me so many stories about when he was cursed with his soul. He felt guilty for all the people he killed. You're probably feeling that way, huh?"Here was where I dropped it on her, only I could ( ... )

I had regained a semblance of my equilibrium and had made my way into my offices. I knew that the dead bodies were a problem and that the police would arrive, but on this occassion, there was nothing supernatural about it.

I also knew that Buffy and Faith were trying to fend off a plot involving the shooters and that Xander had gone to find them, but apart from that, I...I knew very little.

I didn't know if Buffy was okay. I didn't know if Faith was okay. I didn't know what had become of the assassins, or if they had killed anyone else and I wanted to challenge them and find Buffy and Faith, but the pheno-barbitol was making me weak and I was of no use to anyone in my current state.

Then I saw Buffy, and if I had more strength, I would have hugged her. A strange man was with her and I wondered about who he was, but I didn't feel up to figuring out who he was, at the moment. I was just glad that she was okay. The strange man grabbed me a glass of water and Buffy handed it to me.

"Giles, you were shot with a tranq. Do you remember ( ... )

"Angel. I have heard of Angel. He was a terror in the days. My sires knew of him. They said he was beautiful and legendary, and that he was cursed by Gypsies for ravaging their community and their most wholesome of daughters. As for me, I was hit by guilt. A lot of guilt, but mostly, Buffy, I saw you and knew that I had to find you. You were so beauti...you were in danger and I could see it and had to get to you. I feel remorse and want to atone for that. I don't know who's pulling my strings or making me see you, but I just assumed that with you was were my penance could be filled..."Justin almost called me beautiful. Well, I guess he did, but covered it up, nicely. I was a little taken back. Did he know about me this whole time? It was a little surreal. It helped that he knew about Angel's past. Talking about Angel, right now, wasn't something I wanted to do. Angel isn't around, anymore ( ... )

My challenge at this point, was to resisit my attraction for Buffy. I wasn't used to restraint. For my whole life, both human and vampire, I didn't have a problem with women coming to me, or with them turning away my advances. It was amazing to me that this was the girl that had been dominating my dreams and thoughts for so long and she was even more stunning in the flesh.

"I-I just thought someone did this to you. We didn't get the bad guys. Justin, here, helped me and Faith. He's a vampire. But, he has a soul."

"That's exactly what I said, but he's telling the truth, Giles. Justin, this is my Watcher, Giles. Giles, meet Justin."I had the feeling of tension and could sense Buffy's. This Giles character struck me as irritable, yet he had an air of sophistication to him, even though, at the moment, he was filled with either anger, or surprise and probably both ( ... )
