Living a life that I can't leave behind ..

Helping the helpless. It was what I did, be it in Los Angeles or Sunnydale, or anywhere else for that matter. Granted, Sunnydale already had a champion in Buffy, but even someone as experienced as the Slayer could use a hand from time to time -- especially when the place in question was a potential gateway for evil. We were standing on the mouth of

Five minutes into my conversation with Wesley, we were both ready to book it. I know why I was bored, but Wesley? I'm not going to make accusations about things that I don't care about, but do gorgeous women just not do it for him anymore? He kept going on, and on, and on about how great it was to be a rogue demon hunter. Personally, I think he's going to get himself killed. It takes a certain kind of man to hunt and kill evil things, especially in leather. It takes more than masculinity; there's a certain amount of respect that you have to have for violence and Harley Davidson

I'd almost expected to startle her somehow. This old mansion wasn't exactly the type of place to settle ones nerves, after all. Especially not when the only means of light was starting up a fire, and the shadows that danced along the walls because of it were enough to keep anyone on edge. Unless you were used to it, of course. Oddly enough, Cordelia didn't seem frightened at all by someone entering the room she had claimed for herself. Maybe she felt safe here, knowing that I would protect her. But could I really? Protect her -- anyone? I hadn't been able to protect that girl earlier tonight ..

"You look like hell," Cordelia's voice interrupted my thoughts. Well, at least she was up front about it -- something I'd come to expect from her over the past few months. "Is there anything I can do?""No," I replied quickly. Truth be told, I hadn't even meant to disturb her. "I was just .. worried, I guess."

Did whatever Angel killed give him a sharp blow to the head before he did it in? He should be well rested and coherent by now. Instead, my big hero is stumbling over a simple explanation. He's not a people person. I knew that from the beginning, and I might not get it, but I'm used to it. However, I don't consider myself 'people'. I'm Cordelia Chase of Angel Investigations, and it wouldn't hurt my boss to work on communicating with me a little. Currently, he's sucking at it. Although that figures, he is a vampire.

"I'll just let you get back to whatever it was you were doing.""Reading? Yeah, right. I was just killing time until you woke up and I couldn't find the magazines
