What exactly did this Lorne guy think he could do for me? I lit a cigarette as I made my way to the club. Caritas. Kinda funny name for club. I sighed and walked faster. Might as well get this over with.

I found the club without too much trouble and made my way inside. I looked around at the patrons and almost dropped my cigarette. What was this ( Read more... )

"I think you know how it happened lover. Apparently it's not so impossible, because here I am in all my evil glory, a thing with a beating heart and a growing soul inside me."I stared at Darla for a moment, my eyes drifting down to the hands that carefully were placed on her stomach. I might know of a time when if could have happened, but we're ( Read more... )

"See that, that was your brain after the seizure. The scans picked up a lot of damage, and not all of it recent. In a nutshell, the visions were killing you. Slowly, but relentlessly. We had to improvise, there was no guarantee you'd even come out of the induced coma. So I made the call. We made you part demon. So that you could keep the visions, ( Read more... )

It might have been a mistake to excuse himself from the hotel lobby so soon, but despite the fact that he'd just been slapped around by a pair of vampires in a back alley, Lorne still had responsibilities outside of Angel Investigations that he had to attend to. After Fred and Gunn had left to try and make use of the hotel's big industrial kitchen ( Read more... )

If there was one thing I can always get a thrill out of, it's breaking into ritzy high security buildings. I mean some guys pay millions for their alarm systems and lasers and for what really? It's not like they could keep me out if I wanted in. Losers. But hey, it was more fun for me anyway. I mean where's the fun if there's no challenge to go ( Read more... )

I watched Gunn and Fred take off for the kitchen. It was good to see Fred hungry, that meant she was on the mend. I suppose. I hope. We were all pretty down, and not just physically. In fact, physically Gunn was the only one still going strong. Of course I've no idea how Angel is doing. Or even where he is. We've tried to contact him but to no ( Read more... )

I awoke the second time with a start. Jerking forward, eyes opening, gasping for air. It took me a moment to register where I was, and what I was doing there. I didn't hurt, so I didn't really remember; my senses and thoughts were sluggish and my memory hazy. I couldn't hold onto more than one thought at a time. A hospital. Right. That's ( Read more... )

When I signed up for all this contract of sorts, I was under the impression that my chip would be bloody out and I could be what I once was, what I wanted to be. What I needed to be, but no, I'm not. And it all comes down to that bint at the Wolfram and Hart. Well, now that Spikey is doing a little bit better since his other half went off and left ( Read more... )

After the ambulance arrived and got my new pal Sully off to the hospital, I told the new chick to tell the manager I was goin' home to clean up, and that somebody'd better see about cleaning the blood off the floor. Stuff like that can't be good for the health rating ( Read more... )
