"Buffy hon can you get that last box out of the car!" Joyce yelled out
to her oldest daughter.

Buffy Summers sighed and just rolled her eyes. Why couldn't Dawn get
the box. More than likely it was going in the younger girl's room
anyway. Reaching into the trunk of the car for the box, Buffy almost
laughed out loud when she saw the name 'Dawn' on the box. Wow, if only
she would have bet.

It had been hard moving to a new town. . Saying goodbye to everyone in
LA. But it had also been for the better to. Buffy had been angry with
her father when he ran off. He had just up and left them. How could he
do that to her mom. . .to Dawn. . to her! But then her mom had met
Giles and well, everything turned out ok. Except for the whole moving
part.

Picking up the box, she stumbled a little under the weight of it.
"What does she have in here bricks." Buffy mumbled walking up the
stairs of the front porch and into the house. Carrying the box
upstairs she sat it with a 'thump' on the floor.

Turning, she made her way to her own room and decided to start
unpacking. Right away she found that was a bad idea. Opening up the
first box she found a necklace that Ryan had given her. She had broken
up with him the day before they had left LA. It was a beautiful, yet
simple opal on a gold chain. Hurridly she put it on her dresser and
kept going through the box. Down at the bottom there was a picture.
Her father behind her as she held Dawn for the first time. Buffy sat
on the floor looking at the picture for the longest time. How could he
have just run off like that? Didn't he care? Didn't he love them anymore?

The tears welled up in her eyes and she didn't even hear her mom come in.

"Oh. . honey. . What's the matter?" Joyce asked walking in and
kneeling down by her daughter. Seeing the picture in her hand Joyce
sighed.

"He loves you girls very much, I want you to know that."

"Then why. . . why did he leave? And with someother woman!" Buffy
exclaimed tossing the picture away.

"I . . I can't explain that hon. I have no clue why he left. All I
know is that he is your father. I'm sure that he still loves you girls
greatly." Joyce said trying to calm her daughter.

"I. . I just don't understand." Buffy sighed, standing to do somemore
unpacking.

Hello,

I would like to audition for a part in the broken wings group. I
want to play an original charecter a half demon/half human named
Mailce. I'd like her to have had some history with Spike at some
point,and she would like very much to see him bad again (A la Darla
with Angel) so she decides to  "help" at broken wings to try to turn
him, in addition to trying to manipulate  the crew there to her own
agenda.


Name Malice
Height 5'8
Weight 135
Eyes Change color depending on her mood
Hair Very long straight jet black hair
Skin complexion Chalk white
Age Appears to be in early 20's, she is in actuality over 228 years
old.

Usually dressed in very skimpy fetish gear. She has various tribal
tattoos, but they always seems to be in different places on her
body,and in different configurations. Extremely large chested, and
she uses this to her advantage, as usually men(and some women) are
too busy staring to fight or see what she is up to.(for a visual of
what she looks like check out a issue/pic from Tarot: Witch of the
Black Rose. She looks like Raven Hex)


Assassin. Dominatrix. Thief. The half demon known as Malice has been
all of these. Stunningly beautiful,she has worked in the
supernatural brothels where mortal men come to sample the pleasures
of demonic females. She has always been money motivated, and has
done whatever for whoever had the biggest checkbook. She has done
work for Wolfram and Hart as a "cleaner" on more than one occasion.
She is extremely intelligent and equally flirtatious. She loves
physical pleasure and tries to indulge herself as much as possible.
Malice is a skilled manipulator and loves to play mind games.

Powers and abilities: Similar to Vampires, she has supernatural
strength, speed, agility, reflexes and durability. She has
supernatural senses. She heals extremely quickly from injury and is
immune to cold, toxins and disease. She can cling to surfaces (a la
spider-man) She ages inversely, so the older she gets the slower she
ages. She can generate a variety of effects by touching someone, it
is unknown whether she generates some sort of toxin, or is
manipulating the victims physiology by purely mystical means. Some
examples are causing the person to feel extreme pain, euphoria,
nausea or arousal.


Audition Post "Old friends are better dead"

(Morocco, 11:53pm)
She jumped from rooftop to rooftop, moving with eerie supernatural
grace. She was near her target now, she could smell him. A smile
crept across her lips. He though he was safe, that he had gotten
away.If he had been smart he would have known that they would send
her, and there was no getting away from her. No one ever had, or
ever would. She looked down over the side of the small building, her
eyes pulling her somewhat distant target into view. "Oh Cyrus my
dear....you've been a naughty boy" she said in a near whisper.

Cyrus Grant walked quickly down the street. He was nervous. He had
thought being here in Morrocco would ease some of the dread that he
felt. But it still griped him in it's steely fingers,and each time
he went out he was constanly looking over his shoulder. Maybe he
could just give the money back...and they would forgive him. He
stopped in his tracks. How could he think something so utterly
stupid? They would never forgive him. People like that don't know
the meaning of forgiveness. He earned that money...it was his right
to take it. Sure they had payed him well over the years, very well
in fact,but he kept all their dirty secrets, did all their dirty
work, so he felt...no he knew that he desereved more. So when he saw
the opportunity he took it.

Suddenly he heard a voice in his ear."Hello Cyrus" He turned and she
was standing there. Malice. His eyes went wide and he turned and
tried to run. She was standing in front of him in an instant,
blocking his escape. He frantically took out his gun. "Oh
please..don't insult me" she said as she smacked the gun out of his
hand with equal parts speed and contempt. "Cyrus...you've been a bad
boy...." She said, a wicked smile on her lips. The man
froze. "H..hey...Mal. How's it going??" "How's it going? Well, good
for me, very good in fact, and how sweet it is of you to ask.....but
Cyrus, things are bad for you and they are only going to get worse"
Her leg shot out with whip like speed and caught him in the chest.
He felt ribs break as he flew backwards from the
impact. "Wait...wait...WAIT DAMN IT!!! I can explain!!!" He said as
he coughed up blood. "Explain?? Explain how you stole all that money
from Wolfram and Hart, and then tried to disappear??" She wagged her
finger back and forth at him "Naughty, naughty...and you know what
happens to naughty boys" "Look...I'll give you a cut...hell, you can
have it all...just..please don't kill me Mal..for old times
sake....we go way back...cut me some slack" She moved towards him,
shaking her head. "Oh Cyrus...we did have some laughs, didn't we?
Some good times?" The man nodded quickly "We did Mal, lots of
them....what do you say? For old times sake" She stroked his face
and gave him a smile. "For old times sake" The man look
relieved. "Thank you Mal...oh God, thank you so much..I'll
disappear...you'll see I'll be so far off the grid that Wolfram and
Hart will never find me....you'll never have to worry about me
again" She smiled at him and leaned close. She kissed him deeply and
then she broke the kiss slowly and moved close to his ear "I know
that I'll never have to worry about you again, Cyrus...For old times
sake, I'll make sure that you don't suffer" She touched his face
again,and he realized what she was going to do. "Don't..." was all
that Cyrus could get out. He suddenly felt euphoric, all his
worries, all the pain was gone. He felt so good, so happy. She put
her lips to his neck and sucked on it for a few moments, as he
always used to love when she did that. She stoped slowly, and pulled
back to look him in the eyes. "You're so beautiful Mal" "I
know....but thank you just the same for saying so my dear. Goodbye
Cyrus" She stroked his neck, and then gripped it. She jerked his
head violently to the side and the Cyrus' body went limp. She closed
his eyes, kissed his lips softly once more and got up. She took out
the spell that Wolfram and Hart had given her. She placed the small
scroll on the body, and the mans body burst into blue flames, and
then in a bright flash, was gone. "Oh Cyrus, you silly, silly boy"
Malice said softly into the night.

Name: Mackenzie Fuller

Age: 17

Race: Slayer

Appearance: Kristen Bell

Personality: Mackenzie is a bitch.  Plain and simple.  She's always
gotten her own way, and she believes that that's how life should
be.  She is very smart and sarcastic.  Her wit could strike you
where you stand.  She's very independent, and has been on her "own"
for most of her life.

History: Mackenzie Fuller was born to Eric, a stockbroker, and
Lilly, a lawyer, on May 15, 1999.  Her parents, both, made very good
money, so growing up for Mack was extremely easy.  She was given
everything she ever wanted...well, except for quality time with her
parents.

Through the years, Mackenzie learned to take advantage of it.  If
her parents didn't want to spend any time with her, then she'd make
sure they'd have to buy or get her something ridiculous to make her
happy.  In high school, she was, of course, the most popular girl,
and she knew it.  Getting together with the most popular guy, she
couldn't have been happier.

Then one day, she woke up with some weird powers.  She was really
strong, and fast.  She didn't know what was going on.  A man
contacted her, telling her that she was a slayer, and that she
needed to train with them.    She agreed to be shown what he was
talking about, and he brought her face to face with a vampire.

After a few hours of screaming, Mack told him she wasn't interested
in being a slayer, and she left to meet her boyfriend.  Only to find
him cheating on her with the captain of the chess club.  Hurt that
the only person who wanted to spend time with her had hurt her, she
called back the Watcher, and said she'd take the job, telling her
parents that she was going to a special school.

Buffy excused herself from the conversation that Giles and Andrew
were having with yet another potential slayer that had showed up at
their doorstep.  It was never-ending, it seemed.  How many were
there?  She stopped at the kitchen and grabbed a small water from
the fridge before escaping to her back porch.

It was dusk, and Buffy just relished at how peaceful it seemed.  She
had dealt with problems before.  Hell, she had been through more
apocalypse than most, and she's died 2 times, 3 if you count Warren
shooting her, but this was different.  Buffy could feel it in her
soul...in every fiber of her being.  Maybe it was her hormones. Or
maybe it was the fact that the last several weeks, most of the
fights have come from within this house.  How are they going to be
able to win the war, if they can't stand to be in the same room
together?

Buffy sighed heavily as she took a small sip of her water.  Her hand
resting on her belly.  There was a life inside of her, and she was
terrified.  Only one other slayer has had children, and that didn't
turn out well.  Her job.  Her calling was to protect the world, and
all she wanted to do was protect this child.  She chuckled to
herself.  Years with the weight of the world on her shoulders, and
this, a tiny child, was able to scare her.

It was times like these, Buffy missed her mom.  Missed how she made
everything easy.  With all the death in her life, her home was
always a safe-haven, and now, it was filled with strangers.  Even
her family was too distracted to see that she needed someone, but
all that didn't matter.  She allowed her these selfish minutes to
think about herself, and now, she'd turn around and head back inside
to the disaster that was quickly growing.

Buffy took another sip of water, and stared at the beautiful
sunset.  Running a hand through her hair, she turned around and
headed for the door, where she opened it reluctantly.  Hearing  loud
shouts from Giles and Andrew arguing about something, Buffy closed
the door again.  Maybe just a few more minutes.

I auditioned for Spike in Deliver us from Evil some time back but the

Faith hadn't slept well her first night at the Hyperion.  For one
thing she'd slept alone and that never made for a peaceful night.
Oh, Robin had given her the big doe eyes and the look that said he'd
have been more than happy to rectify her current situation but she
didn't feel right about it.  Not under Wes's roof.

Another reason for her restless slumber, the musty hotel bed
reminded her too much of her `Spartan' living conditions back in old
Sunnydale.  The room her fake Watcher had descended on and exploited
all her insecurities.  Watchers were the root of Faith's problem.
The first one whose death had marked her.  The second whose betrayal
had changed her.  And the third whose inexperience, indifference,
and eventual contempt had pushed her to the darkest depths of the
person she'd become.  The one she'd tortured, the one she'd nearly
killed, the one...who in the long run....had saved her by finding it
in his heart to trust her again.

Now here she was, with a crappy bedroom, a head full of insomnia, a
bunch of mewling girls wanting her to be their guide dog, and her ex-
Watcher somewhere down the hall.  It wasn't supposed to work out
like this.  Angel was supposed to be here.  The Vamp with a soul and
a plan, the one who could tell her what to do without her hating
him.  And he'd run off to join Evil Inc.  Just like a man, to bail
just when you needed him.  Who was she supposed to turn to for
guidance now?  Buffy? Giles? Wesley? All options led to laughter and
a conflicted knot at the base of her stomach.  No, she wouldn't be
turning to any of the Scooby minions for assistance.  And she sure
as hell wouldn't be turning to Wesley.

She'd figure herself out, one way or another.  She just had to
figure out a way to get some sleep.  She groaned realizing the first
rays of the sun were creeping through her window's faded curtains.
Soon enough one of the munchkins would be pounding on her door,
looking to her to know the way.  She wouldn't be able to help them
unless she'd gotten at least 15 minutes of sleep.  She stretched and
yawned, flopped over one way on the bed.  Sighed, yawned, stretched,
and flopped back over the other way.

Faith frowned and grumbled, sleep was a lost cause.  She slid her
feet onto the floor and decided she might as well get moving.  Maybe
if she hurried she could find some kind of demon to slay before
lunch time.

Sorry, co-owner (and it's mainly her game) says Faith is to remain
as is....which means she would be 16 in the game.

It had been a very long week for Liam and he was just glad the he had
gotten through it in one piece. He grumbled as his alarm clock went
off and he sighed, moving his hand out from under the covers and
smacking it quiet with one gesture. The sun shone brightly through
the blinds.. and the only thing he wanted to do was to pull the
curtains closed and roll back over in bed... bad thing about it, was
that he actually didnt have any curtians.... That was one thing that
he had to do today. Get curtians... he made a mental note. His
thoughts were groggy, but as he rolled over onto his back and moved a
hand to rub his eyes, he remembered what he had to do today.. or
well, what had been planned since about a week ago.
He felt the sandmans at the corners of his eyes, only to pull away
the cover from his face. He was supposed to meet with Will today to
get help with his term paper. Liam wasnt the best at term papers.. or
essays.. or anything the likes with academic writing. He was decent,
but he wasnt perfect. That was his brother's forte. Liam on the other
hand had gotten a full ride to school on his athletic ability alone.
He was one of the star players, and that was what he used to mull his
way through school - and to find out what else he had a passion for
other than using brute force. When he was younger, he remembered the
first time that he had played football. He hadnt really fit in
anywhere until he tried out for a team, and then suddenly found out
he might actually be good at something. After that, classes and
grades had become secondary. He had become a *C* student to be able
to play, but other than that, he had submitted himself fully to the
sport.
A little time passed by as his mind floated away from any resemblance
of sleep. Liam rose, making his way to the bathroom as his sheet slid
from him and to the floor.. his honey toned physique caressed by the
morning rays of sunshine. His hand twisted the faucet knob, letting
the cool water flow into the sink as he scooped up a handful and
spalshed it on his face. He gave a soft breath as it woke him right
up. This was his time for spring break - and by golly, it didnt look
like he'd be able to get a chance and actually enjoy it. He reached
for the towl and patted his face dry, only for his hand to fumble for
his cell phone as he dialed his best friends phone number. He knew
the younger man had it a little rougher than he did... having
siblings around and all - but Liam couldnt help but take some
pleasure in knowing that while Will suffered, he had his own dorm all
to his lonesome. When the female voice answered the phone, he
politely asked for the blond hair beauty - as the screaching of his
name followed. He chuckled, walking around his dorm and began to pull
his pants on as Will answered. "Hey. Figured you'd be up already," he
replied. "I needed some help on my term paper.. so I wont actually
fail, and we planned to meet at the coffee shop in," he glanced at
his watch to check the time, "half an hour..." he finished.
At that, he finished dressing and grabbed his messanger bag, wallet
and keys - hoping that Will wouldnt stand him up.... and just roll
over and go back to sleep.

Location - P3X-972 (Known to locals as Halmara)

Daniel looked around. Halmara was quiet. In fact, it was too quiet.
Jack and Sam were at the village, while Daniel and Teal'c had gone
off to search the area. "I don't like this" Daniel said
"What don't you like, Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked
"This whole thing. It's too quiet" Daniel said
"Daniel Jackson, I do not believe anywhere could be 'too quiet'"
Teal'c said
"Never mind" Daniel said, rolling his eyes. He faced Teal'c "Aren't
you getting a bad feeling about this planet?" Daniel asked
"No" Teal'c replied. Daniel let out a sigh
"I give up" he said
"What do you give up?" Teal'c asked. Daniel turned to say something,
but saw a smile on Teal'c face
"That was a joke?" Daniel asked "Ok, not a very good joke, but still
a joke". Teal'c went to say something, but was stopped as a weapon's
blast shot past him. Daniel and Teal'c ducked, with Daniel taking
out a Zat, and Teal'c gripping his staff. Daniel looked at where the
blast had come from, and saw several Jaffa firing at them "So much
for too quiet" Daniel muttered. He grabbed his radio "Jack, Sam,
come in" Daniel said
"What is it Daniel?" Jack asked
"We're under attack by Jaffa" Daniel replied
"Get back here now, we're getting back to the gate" Jack ordered
"Easier said than done" Daniel remarked. He and Teal'c fired at the
Jaffa, and ran towards the Village, stopping every few seconds to
fire at their attackers.

Jack and Sam saw the blasts coming from the woods, and got into
position to cover them. As Daniel and Teal'c emerged from the woods,
Jack saw two Jaffa follow them, so he and Sam opened fire. The two
Jaffa fell to the ground, just as more emerged from the woods. As
Daniel and Teal'c ran past them, they got into position and fired at
the Jaffa "DANIEL, DIAL THE GATE!" Jack ordered. Daniel ran towards
the DHD, and started dialling the address to get them back home.

As the gate opened, Teal'c stepped out and fired at the Jaffa still
emerging, whilst Daniel inputted the code on his IDC. "I will cover
you O'Neill. Get going" Teal'c said. Sam and Daniel leapt through
the open wormhole, while Jack and Teal'c kept firing
"Let's go" Jack said. He and Teal'c ran at the wormhole, and leapt
through it.

As Jack and Teal'c landed on the walkway, General Hammond's voice
was heard "Close the Iris" he ordered. As the Iris closed, a thud
could be heard, right before the wormhole closed. Daniel sighed.
"That was close" Daniel said
"Indeed" Teal'c agreed
"We can guess what happened to the population" Daniel said
"I'll order P3X-972 scrubbed from the dialling computer" Hammond
said "I'll see you in debriefing in an hour" he added. As Hammond
left, Daniel turned to Jack
"You know, Teal'c actually made a joke on the planet" Daniel said
"Really? I thought you couldn't make jokes" Jack said
"I know plenty of jokes" Teal'c said "Three Jaffa guards standing in
a square room, facing one another....."

The alarm blared, yanking him out of a very pleasant dream, and Spike
groaned, flinging his hand out, fumbling blindly for the off button.
Silence settled over the room at last and he raised his head,
squinting at the display. 7:45... well, at least the brats would be
heading for the mall soon and he'd have the house to himself for the
day. Of course, that still wouldn't help him finish his term paper by
tomorrow, and he'd have to disappoint his favorite professor again.

He swore softly and sat up, rubbing the heels of his hands into his
eyes, trying desperately to wake up. Swinging his legs over the side
of the bed, he tossed the covers aside and headed for the bathroom,
turning the shower on with a flick of his wrist. The image of himself
in the mirror blinked blearily back before the steam obscured it. He
shucked his sweatpants and stepped into the spray, practically
purring as the hot water eased him from dreams into waking, letting
him relax for several minutes before soaping up and washing his hair.
Once the water was shut off, he reached for his towel, briskly drying
off and walking naked back into the bedroom.

Pulling a fresh pair of jeans from the dresser, he stepped into them,
forgoing underwear as he usually did, then wandered over to the
closet to pick a shirt. The blue silk was nice, but he wanted it for
class, so he settled on a UC Sunnydale sweatshirt instead, which he
tossed on the bed for later. He pulled his still damp hair into a
ponytail, and sat down at his desk to write. The computer screen woke
with a gentle jostle of the mouse, the same white page he'd been on
last night greeting him this morning.

'St Crispin's Day and Puck's Speech: Monologues in Shakespeare'.
Well, that took care of the title, anyway. Spike scowled at the
blinking cursor and blank screen that mocked him. Ordinarily he'd
just type a jumble of things from reading and lecture thrown all
together, but this was for Pryce's class, and he really wanted to do
a good job. Pryce seemed to think that Will actually had some talent
when it came to writing, and he didn't want to give less than his
best here. It felt... nice, having someone actually expect something
worthwhile from him.

"WII-LLL! PHONE!" He groaned as Anya's shrill voice echoed through
the upstairs. Was it too much to ask that the chits leave him alone
when he was studying? It was probably just one of the girls from last
weekend, anyway.

"TAKE A MESSAGE!"

"It's Angel!"

He pushed himself away from the desk and went downstairs to fetch the
phone, trying to remind himself that he'd done the right thing in
taking the one in his room out to make for better study space. Giving
his sister a mock glare as he snatched the handset from her hand, he
muttered, "Still not givin' you my credit card, ya know."

He ignored her rising whine of "But Wiiiiiilllll!" and headed back
upstairs. Once he was behind his bedroom door and away from gossipy
little ears, he raised the phone. "Angel, what's up?"

Thanks!  I read the last 30-35 posts and only saw

remedy that as soon as I see a new post for the

Excellent audition...Angel is yours.


Now for this game, we still need a Daniel Holtz,
Lilah Morgan, Lindsey MacDonald (or any other
member of W&H to plot against our
heroes) or other Original characters (both good
and evil). Since this is where this game heads off
into an AU....Angel investigations needs cases to

"Cycles"

===== ===== ===== ===== ===== =====

Angel

Cordelia Chase

Various Demons

===== ===== ===== ===== ===== =====

 

LOCATION:  L.A.

TIME:  Late night

 

Cycles.  Circular roads that led one right back to their beginnings if one traveled life's road long enough... or was that unlife?  Did it even matter any more the labels one put on it?  It was the same personal hell no matter what one called it, right?  Or did renaming it somehow redefine it and make it easier to deal with?

 

Not in Angel's experience.  It was always the same.  A world of darkness and pain from which there seemed to be no true redemption or escape.  People came and went through his doors and his life - unlife, he reminded himself - each bringing something good with them and taking it with them when they were gone.  And somehow, the more he tried to stay on the outer fringes, the more they dragged him in.

 

It had been like that with Cordy and Doyle in the beginning.  She'd followed him here to Los Angeles - now there was an irony in and of itself, the name of the city he chose to reside in - and Doyle had come to them shortly thereafter.  And each had brought with them friendship.  They'd forged a bond that went beyond Angel Investigations - which they also forged together - to friendship.

 

And then Doyle had gone from that circle.  Yes, he had died in the protection not only of Angel himself and Cordelia, but of the Lister demons they'd been helping and the city as a whole; but that did not take the ache from his soul.  The loss of a friend tore through him.  But as he always had, he kept it to himself, kept himself locked away within himself, mourning his own way.  Even though, to her credit, Cordy had tried to get him to talk to her about it.

 

That had been three years ago - holy hell had it really been that long!?  Now, impossibly, Doyle had returned, bringing with him all those old emotions, and new ones.  How was Angel supposed to take this?  How was he supposed to react to the sudden reappearance of a friend whom he'd watched die saving him?  How had he always dealt with things?

 

Silent and strong.  Those seemed to be his watchwords.  So here he was again, hiding away what he felt and simply trying to move forward.

 

The problem was that Doyle wasn't the only being to crop up recently.  Now Angel had a whole new set of demons to deal with as well.  Nasty buggers, six of whom were staring him  down right now.  Okay, well, he was staring them down, but the end result was the same.

 

One of them moved, an attack, one clawed appendage striking out at the vampire before it.  Only one?  Angel growled and dropped his upper body beneath the blow, grabbing the appendage and twisting it hard, dragging the demon toward him as he did.  It yelped in obvious pain, and one of its fellows moved then to take advantage of Angel's distraction with its companion.

 

Angel was not distracted.

 

The second demon met his buddy's claws... hard as Angel spun, dragging the still-whining demon he held with him.  The second yowled in agony as his companion's claws tore into him and fell back hissing.  The first, Angel tossed at the second, the two going down in a pile of limbs, claws, and hissing.

 

The other four looked at their comrades then at the vampire then back.  What followed was a frenzy of death and demon parts.  And when it was finished, Angel stood at the center of all the death, gathering himself.  He'd have to remember to have Cordelia look up these bad boys when he got back; but for now, he stalked to the one he'd gouged with the other's claws.  Squatting, he grabbed the demon by the bony protrusions at its chest and raised it into the air, off the ground, so he was on eye level with it - they weren't all that big, but they were srappy.

 

"Who sent you?"  He growled in its face, a low growl that promised much pain if the little demon didn't cooperate.

 

It chose badly, trying to claw its way free of Angel's grip.  He only tightened his grip and hissed right in its face.  It cringed but protested.  "But they'll kill me!"

 

"And you think I won't?"

 

It squirmed some more, then without warning, went limp in his grip.  Momentarily startled, Angel glared at the now-dead demon.  Then he tossed it on top of its comrades in disgust and looked for the source of its death - he hadn’t had that tight a grip on it.

 

Nothing.

 

Disgusted and somewhat tired, he sighed and spun away, heading back to the Hyperion.  Great!  Just what he needed!  A new player in town!  But it figured, didn't it?  Just when something likely good came his way, something equally evil had to as well.  And there was the cycle.  Repeated over and over.

 

The doors of the old hotel-turned-headquarters slammed shut behind him, and he stalked past everyone to his office.  He needed a drink and a good long think.  But only one of those was forthcoming, and it wasn't the second.  Cordy followed him in and closed the door.

 

"So did you find what you were looking for?"  She asked, bluntly.  That was Cordy, blunt.

 

Angel looked up at her from his glass.  "Don't you ever knock?"  He grumbled, though he wasn't entirely displeased with her presence.

 

She shrugged and flopped into one of the other chairs.  "Sometimes, but you didn't answer my question."

 

He sighed, setting down the glass.  "No.  But I found something else."  He stood up and began to pace as he talked.  "There's a new player, and a whole new set of demons, in town."

 

Cordy frowned.  "So?  We'll deal with them."  She asserted.  "We always do.  That's not what's bothering you though, is it?"

 

He sighed and shook his head.  Not in answer so much as in refusal.  "Not now."  Was all he said.  "Now we need to find this new threat."

 

Cordy frowned but let it be... for now.  If there was one thing she'd learned in four years of working with Angel, it was that he didn't talk unless he was damned good and ready to.  And no amount of coaxing, cajoling, or prodding would make him.  In fact, that stuff only drove him further into his shell.  So she relinquished the question for now and focused on the demons as asked.  "Ok, what did they look like?"

 

Angel sat back down and closed his eyes.  Good, she'd taken the hint.  Cordy had learned not to push him when he said no.  At least not immediately.  Opening his eyes again, he took a drink and began to describe the demons to her...

Night falls over Sunnydale as it does every well, night. And like
most every night in Sunnydale, Buffy Summers was walking through the
darkened streets. But she wasn't alone. Tonight, she had taken the
new potential, Amanda out for a patrol. The girl was a little
nervous, but this was her first patrol, so that was what Buffy
chalked it up to.

The night was a somewhat slow one for Sunnydale.

"I thought we were sopose to be slaying?" Amanda said raising an
eyebrow.

Buffy couldn't help but laugh a little bit. "Yes, that is what we
are sopose to be doing, but then again if there isnt' anything
around, then there isn't anything to slay."

Thought the nothing being around didn't last to long. Buffy felt it
before Amanda did. THought that was expected as the girl had just
found out that she was a potential.

"First leason, know your surroundings. A vampire could be hidding
anywhere and jump out and if you didn't know it. .."

At that moment a vampire did just that. Buffy jumped out of the way
and Amanda bearly missed getting hit. But there was no way that on
her first time out, Buffy wasn't going to allow Amanda to fight a
vamp on her own first time out. Thought that is what she should have
done.

Tossing the stake to Amanda, Buffy kicked the vampire in the
chest. "Staking in the heart, beheading, holy water, all effective
against vampires."

It didn't take long for Buffy to figure out that the vampire was a
well had newly risen. But that was ok, he was eager and Buffy was
trying to get Amanda accustomed to this.

"Never let your guard down. Vampires are not to be taken lightly."
Buffy explained blocking a punch and then knocking the vampire to
the ground. "Ok, you're on."

Amanda went up to the figure on the ground and went to plunge the
stake down. But the vamp reached a hand up and stopped her arm in
mid air. To distract the vampire from that, Amanda kicked it's side
and then plunged the stake into the heart and the vampire turned to
dust.

Buffy stood there nodding. "Good job. Got one on your first time
out."

"Yea, with your help." Amanda said.

Buffy just smiled "Yea, but don't sweat it. But I think we should be
heading home for now. . Check up on everyone else."

THE UNANSWERED QUESTION

Audition Post by Scribe

 

There were moments when it was quiet, when the moon had risen high in the night sky and Boulder had settled into something akin to peaceful slumber, Spike would take a walk in the darkness that was his sun to everyone’s day and wonder. He should have asked Mother Abigail the question, perhaps rid himself of the dagger it was becoming in his mind whenever he had time enough to think about it. He should have but didn’t and that was largely because a part of him was afraid of the answer.

 

Perhaps asking the question would surface some unpleasant truths about himself that he was of yet unwilling to face. Nobody like having a light focussed in the deepest recesses of one’s soul and light to vampire; even in a metaphorical sense was just as withering.

 

Walking through the cemetery alone, Spike tried to convince himself that if he tried hard enough, he might just that forget he was in Boulder and was instead back in Sunnydale.

 

And Buffy lived somewhere in this world.

 

How much he missed Buffy was an agony he doubted Angel had ever known and Angelus would never admit. His grandsire had loved an ideal, an image of first love in all its glorious perfection. Even as William the failed poet, Spike could not have constructed a more tragic melancholic drama that was Angel and Buffy’s relationship. He wondered if it was ever more than some romantic fantasy that either of them had held in their minds over the reality.

 

Spike didn’t love a fantasy, he loved a girl. A flawed, sometimes insecure girl with a tremendous destiny that seemed to take delight in twisting her into knots at every turn.  Spike couldn’t care less about the slayer but the girl, the girl was everything.

 

Which brought him back to the question he dared not ask himself. Did that demon in Africa know when Spike was granted the return of his soul that the purpose of his quest was presently dying in Sunnydale? The bastard probably did. If nothing else, demons had a wicked sense of humour. However, the question did not bother him as much as the one that came immediately after.

 

Would Spike have still wanted his soul if he had known?

 

The answer was the reason Spike did not mention it to Abigail. He didn’t want to know.

 

And because he didn’t want to know, Randall Flagg exploited that ignorance rather magnificently.

 

Oh the bugger knew when there was fertile ground to sow poison seeds and in the cornfields within which he played his twisted games, Spike often heard Flagg’s views on the subject. Not to mention the promises to take it all away. To make him as he was before, no chip, no soul, premium grade one hundred percent William the Bloody.  Spike couldn’t deny that it was attractive, to be rid of a centuries worth of murder and returned to the life that he so craved desperately once upon a time. Before Buffy.

 

If he just took that trip to Nevada across the desert, he could be as he was before he had ever met Buffy and all would be as if she had never existed.

 

And that’s what stopped him. The worse thing about losing her was never having loved her at all and for that Spike remained. He remained and accepted his outcast state even when he was surrounded by people who once considered him an enemy and now saw him as an ally, if not a friend.


He owed it to Buffy to keep them safe.

 

If Spike had been able to do nothing else with this soul, he would do that for her.

 

~~~~~~

 

Movement.

 

The scent heavy in the air of blood, pounding strong and fast. That unmistakable scent of metal known to all vampires as human gave him warning that he was no longer alone. It took less than a second before he identified it. He had picked up the scent once before and had been moved to tears, which a tough bloke like him hid perfectly of course, because of its familiarity.

 

Slayer blood.

 

“You better get the Watcher to improve your lessons pet,” Buffy looked at the girl named Olivia, the slayer that had followed Buffy. “I heard you coming a mile way.”

 

Well not exactly a mile away but someone had to keep the slayerette on her toes.

 

The girl pouted in disappointment as she emerged from behind a particularly ornate tombstone. “Crap,” she frowned. “And I thought I was getting it right.”

 

Spike paused and fished out a cigarette from inside his coat, “well you did bring out a vampire, the bait part worked of the approach worked. If that’s what you were aiming for.” He threw her a small smirk.

 

“You’re not exactly a normal vampire, are you?” She threw back at him.

 

Nice serve, he thought mildly amused. “Haven’t you heard, I’m special with all the optional extras and service guarantees.” He said with a bracing hint of sarcasm.

 

“God you’re so full of it,” she rolled her eyes.

 

“So everyone tells me,” Spike said blowing out a puff of smoke and taking another deep exhale.

 

The girl seemed caught between wanting to talk to him and giving into her slayer instincts which told her she ought to be wary.

 

“Do you really have a soul?” She asked after what seemed like a long pause.

 

That took longer than he expected.  After awhile, everyone asked that question.  It was like they needed reassurance that he wasn’t Angel….bugger no, not Angel…Angelus.

 

“Yeah, that’d be me.” he nodded with a hint of sadness, not understanding why he should feel it when he never cared much for his grandsire. The grand standing bastard had been a prat ever since Spike had known him. Acquiring a soul had just made him a broody prat which was not in Spike’s opinion much of an improvement but at least Spike had been contented to know that there was a vampire who had a soul and managed to keep from going bloody barmy.

 

There was still a vampire with a soul but Spike was rather shocked to realise that he was the only one.

 

“What’s that like?”

 

Bout  your bedtime in’it?” Spike retorted starting to walk. He wanted quiet and alone time and the little bit with her questions, with her familiar smelling blood, was invading solace he managed to find in the dark.

 

Geez, sorry for asking,” she bit back.

 

“Everybody’s sorry luv,” he said looking over the cemetery, arm outstretched as if he were presenting real estate for her inspection. “Haven’t you noticed?”

 

Leaving her behind, he walked home, trying to forget that there was another slayer out there. A slayer that had replaced Buffy.  And once again that question surfaced; the one he tried so hard to ignore. 

 

Would he have done it if he had known she was gone? Would he have reclaimed his soul?

 

God help him, he just didn’t know.
