Chapter 10 - Innocence, But With More
“What?” Willow said, her eyes following the path of Cathy’s. She noticed Angel staring at her, a cruel glint in his eyes and a cold smirk on his pale lips, and a shiver shot up her spine. Oh no, she thought. Cathy’s cold voice brought her back to reality.
“Hello, Angelus.” The demon grinned. He then looked at the woman beside him as she rose from her lying position.
“Hello lover,” he greeted her with an evil smile. “Do you feel the need to kill some witches?” Buffy looked straight at the two, and said,
“I do.” Willow inwardly gulped. Make that a double oh no, she thought.
“Do you have a longer evil name too, or shall we just call you Buffy?” Cathy asked, appearing somewhat bored, examining her nails, although on the inside she was panicking, quickly going through her mind for a spell to restore their souls. The older woman pondered it for a moment, and then shrugged.
“I haven’t given it much thought,” she answered calmly, although her eyes were filled with a cold hate, “but I think you can call me Buff. For now.” She paused, then turned her attention to the dark soulless vampire beside her. “So lover, what do you say we break out of this place?"
“Oh no you don’t,” Willow spoke up.
“Oh, I think we do,” Angelus shot back, as he gracelessly smashed the door open.
“But how-” Willow began.
“They used the same cage last time I was released, and I had been working on a few spots here and there on it,” he explained as the couple slowly advanced on the still witches. Cathy looked at him.
“I thought you would use that to your advantage,” she said with a cruel smile gracing her normally pleasant face. Then, without warning, a white explosion burst from her entwined hands, propelling the evil duo back against the stone wall, and rendering them unconscious.
“Nice job,” Willow said, dazed.
“Thanks.” Quickly, they conjured up a specific spell, and soon the two were no longer evil.
“What... what’s going on?” Buffy asked, her words slurred.
“Am I alive?” Angel said aloud as he came to.
“You were both evil for like a minute, but we put the good in you again,” Willow explained. “And you’re alive as you can be as a vampire with a soul.”
“A vampire with an anchored soul, so yay us!” Cathy added.
“Not forgetting that spectacular light show you put on!” Willow joked. Buffy and Angel looked at her for another explanation. She quickly told them.
“But we didn’t hurt anyone?” Angel asked, voicing his concern.
“No.” He breathed a sigh of relief.
“What I don’t get is why the spell didn’t work the first time,” Willow said suddenly. They were silent for a moment, then Cathy broke it.
“I think there was another fact that Angel ‘forgot’ to tell us.” They looked at her, confused. She sighed dramatically.
“God! You people are so dense! I’m on about the time he was turned human at Thanksgiving 1999!”
