Ah, it'd been a grand few days, I thought cheerfully, sitting back in my chair with a smoke and a beer. There'd been a lot of sex, which was good, because frankly in the last few months with Dru it was like getting blood out of a stone trying to get her to sleep with me. Selfish bitch. It wasn't because she wasn't in the mood, either, otherwise

"Slayer," I said. "You're the other slayer, aren't you?" I lit a cigarette and looked at her admiringly. "The one those Sunnydale scoobies hated. I've heard about you." I took a deep drag on my cigarette. Last I'd heard, the renegade slayer - Faith, was it? - had been in the service of some giant snake, but sadly he'd got crisped by Goldilocks. I wondered if she was still evil, although her presence at Angel's indicated, sadly, that she was trying to repent and all that bollocks.

"Check me out, I'm famous." I said dryly as he stated what exactly I was. Slayer. Vamp better recognize and I couldn't help but let the corners of my lips curl up into a smug smirk at the thought of gettin' stake happy tonight. Been awhile since I staked a vamp and when you're the slayer you just kinda crave it.
"And you would be? Well...honestly, I don't really care." Too bad I didn't have my handy stake on me that I usually carried. No, a stake was a weapon and I didn't wanna freak out Angel and his pals by havin' one on me. Didn't matter though, cause the truth was? I was the weapon. Besides, I liked to improvise.

Doyle... Before I knew what was happening, I launched myself at Spike, knocking him to the floor. I punched him, even as the bastard smirked triumphantly, cockily at me.
"You think you can just stride in here, and kill my friends?" I snarled, still not quite believing it. Doyle couldn't be dead... this wasn't happening. Only, what, two or three days ago, he had been in here, teasing me, making me reluctantly laugh, having a vision? This wasn't real...
But the eyes and photos on the floor told me otherwise.
"Who the hell is your new girl, anyway?" I asked conversationally, pushing my emotions away. Kick Spike's ass now, grieve later... "Because I'll be sure to tell her you said goodbye when I find her."
Glating hatefully at the vampire beneath me, I punched him again, taking any advantage I could. Blind rage... seemed ironic, and oddly justifiable right now.

"Hurts, doesn't it?" I said conversationally, as Angel punched my face. I could feel blood running from my nose to my mouth, but I didn't hit back. I wanted to savour Angel's fury. I'd pissed him off a lot in our time together, but this was my most successful attempt.
I slid out from under him.
"My new bird's called Tara. You wouldn't believe who she used to go out with," I said, grinning. Then I wiped my nose on the back of my hand, winked at Faith, and jumped over the wall and was running down the street. I'm not afraid of Angel, but I'm not stupid. I can't take a slayer and Angel at once. Besides, for now, knowing he was grieving was better than knowing he was dead.
