I gave a last glance at Faith as she was running away from me toward the mansion before I grabbed the flares from the back of the trunk. Slamming the trunk door down, I heard the clank and realized this was it. This was the end, no matter what. The end of the world, or the end of all of this mess. Either way this goes, something drastic was going ( Read more... )

Didn't have time to think, just felt my body start movin' like it always did. Sometimes it got me in trouble but usually? It bailed my ass out from gettin' smacked around. Just as The Guardian lunged himself at me, I rolled to the side and sprung up to my feet. So instead of becoming a flattened slayer underneath him I let him dent my face with a ( Read more... )

I couldn't believe it. The dude who so easily wiped the floor with me a few days ago was lyin' in pieces on the floor. Well, one piece was on the floor at my feet but his head was in the closet where I couldn't see it. Guess a little old fashioned decapitation did the trick every time. Just hadn't thought it would be that easy and I had to wonder ( Read more... )

Waited til I saw that bright orange glow of the flare goin' off before I easily slid in through the basement window. Figured any minute now I'd hear a ton of skittery little spider legs go scuttlin' across the floor over my head. Hoped Wes knew what the hell he was talkin' about, cause if he was wrong? That was just gonna make me look like a ( Read more... )

We got back to the apartment and I let her go on ahead as I stayed outside, watching the sky. There was alot to see now. The stars for one thing. Couldn't really see them before, at least not in the city. Now that I was on the beach, I saw the stars everynight. Made me wonder if my friends were watching down on us, guiding us somehow, but I ( Read more... )

After our little four hour spurt of distraction, it was time to get down to business. Not that either of us were complainin' about the distraction, but I knew Wes wasn't gonna leave me alone til I checked out this Guardian guy. Also knew that Angel wouldn't be able to rest until he did something about this. There was no one left to protect but he ( Read more... )

I woke up, looking around the room, then at Faith who was still sleeping. She was still here and she didn't leave, not that her getting out of bed wouldn't have woken me up, it's that she didn't try to leave. Why would she anyway? I was all she had left, and she was all I had left. Just figures, I guess. Everyone goes away, everyone dies and it ( Read more... )

I swallowed hard over the lump in my throat as my gaze locked dead on with that....whatever the fuck it was. Super strong with eyes so inky black you couldn't even see the bottom of them. The kinda gaze that stops your heart faster then a blink of an eye and for that one second? You were totally paralyzed. All of the little skittery bug demons ( Read more... )

"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... )

I thought I was a hero, I've been told that I was, that I am, but I don't feel it. If I was, then five weeks ago, I would have been able to save my friends. Three weeks ago was the last, when Wesley died. I was there with him until the end, he even had a shot before he went, my scotch, except he poured something in it, something that would make the ( Read more... )
