When I fall

Mar 09, 2005 23:36

"You and Angel?" Familiar green eyes below a raised eyebrow, and I knew exactly who was in the room with us. It was her. Never went very far without her, ya know? Sure you could stab one of us or have one of us jump off a big ass tower to save a sister that wasn't real, but we always found eachother. "Like I didn't see that one coming." She was ( Read more... )

My eyes opened as soon as she left the room. I'd been awake for awhile and I didn't want to disturb her. Besides, she just got done walking from Cleveland. Not only would that take ...days, weeks, she needed the rest and maybe I was actually enjoying the thought of someone in the same bed with me. Even if it was for the wrong reasons. Which made me think if last night was a mistake. It's not like we're in love, it was never about love, but about forgetting. Now I'm just laying here, remembering everything and it makes last night worth nothing ( ... )

I heard him puttering around in the kitchen and was a little surprised he was even up. Didn't he sleep the daylight hours away like the vampire he was? Maybe because he had a soul he like stayed awake durin' the day too. Seemed kinda pointless what with not bein' able to leave the house or anything. Almost felt bad for the poor guy.

I looked up unsurprised as he finally spoke from the doorway. He was still standing in the shade, as the bright afternoon sun beat down on my leather clad legs.

"It's not so bad." I said with a shrug, turning back to look at the ocean before lazily takin' another drag off my smoke. Hoped it wasn't gonna get weird and awkward now. He better not do that to me. Not after I found him again. Because the alternative was leavin', and I wasn't ready for that. Wasn't ready to be on the open road with nothin' but me as company anymore.

"How'd you sleep?"

__angel March 10 2005, 05:14:00 UTC

Yeah, I guess she was right. Even if it was depressing, it wasn't so bad. Something we'd have to get used to. Like what we were going through. Everyone around us, everyone we knew was dead, gone, not coming back and that was depressing, but it's something that we have to get through and then it won't be so bad. Of course, I'll probably never believe that.

"Sleep was ... fine," I said in an even tone as I looked at the back of her head. I wondered what she was thinking about last night, if she had the same thoughts as I did, or if she was even thinking about it at all. I had a feeling that everything was going to change between us, and it wouldn't be ... for the good. I wanted to make sure that wouldn't happen, but I never knew with Faith. Sometimes she was predictable in certain situations, but this? This was something that I didn't know of.

"You're down to the filter, Faith," I said quietly. I stepped out a little more, making sure that I was in the shade and not in the sunlight. "What are you thinking about?"

My chin tilted up slightly and I looked from the surf to the sky, admirin' the way the California sky looked so different from anywhere else I'd ever been. It was bright and blue, few white fluffy clouds rollin' across the sun.

The time for the sun is over, now it's time for darkness to shine.

Suddenly a wave of serious de ja vous went through me, as I looked up at the sky. Buffy. What had that dream meant? Kinda sucky thing about slayer dreams? They didn't always make the most sense. Course then again, maybe I just missin' the point. Wouldn't be the first time, right?

Angel's words startled me and I looked down at my hand to see ash dripping from my stoge to flesh. Flicking it away, I turned to look up at Angel before lookin' back at the sand.

"I dunno. Just things. What I'm gonna do now. What you're gonna do now."

A drive. Yeah, that was something that I needed to do. A drive that I've been dreading to take, but I have to. I already know, I just have to confirm it. It was his decision, to leave with her and now ... I didn't even get to say goodbye, he hated me till the day he died. I could have changed it, but I didn't, she didn't want to be around anymore and he left with her. Closing my eyes, I turn away and head toward the bathroom.

"We'll do that, I'm just going to take a shower," I told her and closed the bathroom door behind me. I took a deep breath and looked around the room. I was actually going to go see him, if he's still there. The last I heard they got a place in San Francisco and that was the last I heard. She at least called to tell me he was okay. One of the many mistakes I made in my entire life.

Turning on the water, I stripped off the rest of my clothes, before stepping in under the spray and washing up.

Watching him closely he tried to hide it like he always did, but I could see his face fall. Like he was suddenly wicked sad again for no real reason. Always was hard to tell with him, but I knew right then and there. I just didn't know the reason, or the specific one this time around ( ... )

Maybe this was what I needed. To have her come here so maybe I wouldn't have to go by myself to see what had happened to Connor and Cordelia, even though I basically knew what happened. They were gone, like Wes, Gunn and Fred ... everyone else. Buffy. The night that we defeated Jasmine ... that was the last I saw him. Cordelia had ended up being okay and she called saying that her and Connor were going to get out of LA and just be away from everything for awhile, try to get back on their feet ... without me. I couldn't understand, I didn't want to understand. For a short time, yeah, I hated them both. I didn't want to think about them, I didn't want to see them and then ... this plague hit LA and took everything down. Sad as it seemed, my main concern lied with my friends and I was with them till the very end. Buried them in the wet, cold sand on the beach ( ... )

Angel sat down next to me, and I barely glanced at him before both of us turned to face the static on television. Didn't exactly know what he was thinkin' about but it wouldn't be stupid to assume it was all the dead people fillin' up this empty space. Here we were, just static. Watching static. But in some fucked up way? It was wicked comforting. I was comforted, just cause he was here ( ... )

Mexico. Been there a few times, years ago. Mexico would be nice, the beaches, beautiful. We could probably even find a yacht, live on that, but then what would happen to me during the day? Well, there goes that plan. Doubtful we'll actually leave here, but it would be nice. For the most part.

Getting out of the car, I headed inside with Faith following me. The doors were unlocked, as I thought they would be and we walked inside. There wasn't any noise. In fact the only noise was our shoes, and her breathing. I'm sure we'd find something here, we just had to search.

Maybe a boiler room, do they have those here? Or locker rooms, gyms, some place with alot of ...

"Ahh!" I groaned as my back was pressed against the row of lockers that we were walking past. Some slimy demon gave me a look, then bared it's teeth. Vamping, I shared his look and shoved him off of me.

"Looks like we found them," I said and went to work.

I listened in the darkness, as my eyes scanned the row of lockers lining both sides of the hallway. Suddenly I heard something move and turned just a minute too slow as some nasty slimy thing slammed Angel against the wall. Angel slammed his fist into the demon's head, sending it staggering back towards me. Grabbing it by it's wicked nasty and slimy shoulder I spun it around quickly and flung it to the ground. Instantly my boot stomped down on it's throat, breaking it's neck and rendering it....well, pretty much dead ( ... )

"Fuck," I cursed as I landed on my stomach. Rolling on my side, I watched as they all went back up, leaving Faith and I alone. That was ...strange, but it was a good fight. Something that I've needed besides other things. Sitting up, I moved over to Faith, then we both stood up, looking around. "Think there's something down here that even they're afraid of. Or it could be nothing. We should check it out," I said and I saw the look that Faith gave me, but didn't say anything.

We walked down the hall and I felt something among the walls as we passed. We were being watched, but by who? Or what for that matter.

"You feeling anything, Faith?" I asked as I walked, making sure not to trip over anything. "I feel something, I just can't place it," I whispered.

Standing up next to Angel, I tilted my chin up watching all the demons quickly run out of sight. "They're scared, or they were just supposed to protect something." Narrowing my eyes I looked back towards the dim basement. Why did I always end up in school basements? Like some kinda bad horror movie or something. Could be worse I guessed. Could be crazy in the basement like Spike ( ... )
