I got a tingly feeling. It started like goosebumps down my arms before I actually realized what it was. There were others here. Others meaning one manpire. Meaning Angel
( ... )
Being in hell is terrible enough for even someone like me who's had a lot of experience of dealing with pain. The eerie quiet and a whole lot of nothing? It was enough to drive a vampire mad. I took a couple steps forward then back, then turned again. Where the hell was I going exactly?
Shaking my head, I closed my eyes and could only tell a small difference from when my eyes were open. You hear about what heaven is like, and I've experienced hell. This is nothing like either of them. I had good mind to just sit down on whatever I was standing on and just wait for my welcoming party that hadn't decided to show up yet, or wait until the hell arrived that I expected to be in right now.
I placed my hands on my hips and looked down at my body. Well, obviously I wasn't a pile of dust and my head was firmly attached my my body. The scars and other wounds were gone too. Sighing, I went to take a step forward again, but paused when I heard my name. It couldn't be. Frowning, I shook my head again and stepped forward.
Grinning when he called me back, I knew I hadn't been hearing, nor feeling things. I took a number of steps forward. Oh, he must be so confused! Okay. So it wasn't like he hadn't been to Hell before, courtesy of Buffy, but this wasn't Hell. At least, I don't think it was.
Anyway. I remember the darkness. It wasn't exactly fun. Cut through it with a knife and you could probably still find more darkness. Hell, cut through it with an axe and you're still where you started.
"Angel. It's me!" I yelled again. "Just take about .. 10 steps forward."
Right. Because in all of that darkness, he really knew which way was forward as opposed to backwards.
"Okay. Forget that. Keep moving towards my voice!" I called out to him, moving forward still. Then I bumped into something. Hard. Obviously person shaped.
"Angel?" I asked, looking up. Even I was having a hard time finding him and I had been here for quite some time.
Ten steps forward? Okay. I started walking, counting my steps carefully. I guessed that I was walking forward, but I really couldn't tell. Was I walking straight forward, to the side, diagonal? Whatever I was doing, I felt like I was getting a bit closer.
"Okay. Forget that. Keep moving towards my voice!"
Her voice was louder and I had a feeling I was going in the right direction. Cordelia was here..this had to be some sort of heaven. She'd never get sent to hell after all she'd done, after all she'd been through. She'd become a higher being after all. You'd think that she'd get to choose where she got to spend eternity.
Holding out my hands, I felt like I was walking blind. Before I could take but a couple more steps, I ran into something. I blinked a couple times, trying to get my eyes to adjust to the darkness or at least be able to see something. As I looked in front of me, I began to see a figure standing there in front of me.
"Angel?"I couldn't speak. We might have both been dead, but she was still here. She was
( ... )
I tucked my legs up under me on the couch and let out a small sigh before returning my attention back to him. Opening the bottle, I took a small sip. It was almost comforting the silence that fell between us after he mentioned us fixing the whole issue of nothing to do.
Usually the silence that fell was because there was no one else to talk too. But at least this .. this I could deal with. Cause I wasn't being silent on my own.
I've definately come to the conclusion that I've been done here without anyone for too long and I'm slowly losing my mind. I rolled my eyes.
"I'd say hey! Let's go out and kill something. But I'm not sure what we can kill. Cause it's hell and well, everything down here more or less is killable."
I glanced at the dingy walls before returning my gaze back to him. "So. Did Wolfram and Hart go straight to hell after my unfortunate departure?" I asked, smirking at him. Of course, I was only half-serious. Only.
We sat in silence for a while, and despite the uncomfortable factor that normally occupied these silences, I felt this.. comforting. It had been way too long since Cordelia and I had been together and even longer since we'd spent time like this together. Despite the hell factor, it felt normal, right
( ... )
"Well yeah, obviously it's already dead. But still, we are in hell." I said, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. I had a point. Really, I did. Except, I don't know what it was. I let that thought sit there, unfinished, and listened to his next words about Wolfram and Hart being .. something like that.
"Things weren't exactly flowers and sunshine."
"Well captain sunshine, I could've told you that. I wasn't even there for .. well all of it, but still. Wolfram and Hart." I said, a small smile in my voice. "Well obviously, you pissed off your Senior Partners pretty bad, huh? Cause, well you get to spend the next eternity with me and everyone else down here in Hell."
Not like it was a bad thing. At least it wouldn't be as lonely as it was before. Besides, I could be stuck down here dealing with people I strongly disliked, instead of my family. Right?
"Let me guess. Apocalypse?" I asked, watching him slip into his broody mode once I had asked about Wolfram and Hart. "Except, for once, we didn't win."
My Senior Partners. In the months I was at Wolfram and Hart, I hardly ever considered them to be my Senior Partners. Although, I didn't argue because I knew what she meant.
Raising a brow at her, I smiled a bit. "Well, then maybe it won't be so bad, huh? But as for everyone else? Maybe they won't mind being killed.. again." Unless she's talking about everyone else being our friends who I never expected to see down here. Well, maybe Spike.
Then again, I never expected to see her here.
Sighing, I nodded. "You could say that. Except I'm the one who started it this time and well.. I never fully expected to make it out in the end.. or 'win'."
