    It was so good to finally be free. He stretched under the moon and knew exactly where he was going. He had business to take care of. He inhaled the night’s air deeply and licked the blood off his lip. Tonight would be good. It was the chance of a lifetime.

    Back in Sunnydale Buffy was on her way out the door, holding Riley’s hand. “Just a few quick sweeps.” She kissed him. “I’m glad you didn’t go.”

    “I just couldn’t.”

    “I know. I’m so glad you did Riley, I love you so much.”

    “I know.”

    “We’re meeting Xander and Anya at Giles’ later.”

    “Kay.”

    He drove, the open road ahead of him. He’d be there in an hour. He could hardly wait. He’d been waiting for this day for years it seemed. He’d finally rid himself of his pesky problem and he was free! He just had one stop to make first.

    “Knock knock…” Buffy said, opening the door.

    “Oh, hello Buffy. Riley.”

    “Hey Buffy!” Willow said as she and Tara entered the house. “RILEY! You didn’t leave!”

    “Hi.”

    He stood outside the window. “All the pretty ducks lined up in a row.” She cooed in his ear.

    “Yes they are, aren’t they?” Spike whispered in his love’s ear.

    “Did we have to come back here?”

    “But Grandmum, the moon says the time is right. The Slayer will die! And our clothes will stain.” Dru sang into Darla’s ear.

    “I don’t think that’s gonna happen, Dru.” Angel’s voice came from behind.

    “Daddy! Grandmum, it’s Daddy! The Angel beast is dead.”

    “Yeah he is Dru. The moon’s right, only we won’t stain our clothes.” He kissed his childe and looked at Spike’s jealous look. “Relax Boy, we’re a family again.”

    “Yeah…” Dru growled.

    “Alright, let’s see about gettin’ us an invitation.” Spike said, about to knock on the door.

    “Give me a few minutes.” Angelus said grabbing Spike’s hand.

    “Don’t have too much fun without us Love.” Darla cooed.

    “Oh, I won’t.” He said flashing her golden eyes. With that, the three vampires hid behind the bushes as Angelus knocked on the door.

    “Angel?” Buffy asked. “What are you doing here?”

    “Vision. You’re in danger. I was gonna call, but I couldn’t get through to your mom.”

    “Mom’s been in the hospital. Dawn and I have been staying with Riley.”

    “Isn’t that sweet.”

    “You remember Dawn?”

    “Of course. Hi Dawn. Can I come in Buffy?”

    “Of course, come on in. Dawn, you remember Angel, don’t you?”

    He looked at the girl and she paled. “That’s not Angel.”

    “Sure it is Dawn. Don’t be silly.”

    “Buffy…” Dawn whispered pointing to the door where Darla and Dru were vamped and waiting at the threshold.

    “Oh my god…” Giles whispered hoarsely.

    “God’s not taking phone calls right now Ripper.” Angelus said slipping into gameface. “But I’ll be sure to give him the message.” He said before grabbing the nearest body, which happened to be Tara. She screamed. “I just love a good yell. You’ll yell for me, won’t you?”

    Buffy lunged for him and kicked his arm, making him release Tara. “Now *that* wasn’t very nice Lover. I take offense to that. My mother always told me not to play with my food. But I’ll make an exception.” He said before kicking her in the gut.

“BUFFY!” Riley screamed and caught her.

“Angelus!” Spike exclaimed, sauntering by the girls who were patiently waiting for an invitation. “What brings you to Sunnydale?”

“What do you think?”

“Spike, it’s not Angel!”

“Who do you think told him about your little meeting?” Spike asked, vamping out.

“What?” Buffy said as her face paled.

Spike walked over to Giles and threw him up against the wall. “Damn that feels good. Now why don’t you be a dear and invite our girls inside.”

“Go to Hell. I’ll never invite them in.”

“Never?” Spike tightened his grip on Giles’ neck. “How about now?”

“Over my dead body…” Giles spat out.

“I was hoping you’d say that.” With a flick of the wrist, Spike broke his neck and he fell. “Come on in ladies.”

“GILES!” Everyone screamed.

“Angelus, do you know what’s better than children screaming like little pigs?”

“What Lover?”

“Slayers screaming as they watch each and everyone of their friends die.”

“Ah, I remember that well. Vienna, wasn’t it?” He said deeply kissing her, biting her mouth with his fangs. “I’ve missed you. Sorry about that whole stake through the heart thing.”

“Forgiven. Now be a dear and fetch Mommy a meal.” Angelus grabbed Tara and threw her at the blonde vampire.

“The little witches would make excellent little cups. We could have tea.” Dru said leaning over Xander. “And the little boy has darkness inside. I can feel it. Ruff.” She licked his cheek. “And he tastes so yummy.”

“What an excellent idea Dru darling… want some children Angelus?”

“No!” Buffy said, standing up.

“I said down girl.” Angelus said kicking Buffy hard.

“Come on Angelus. You and me. Let’s fight it out. No magic, no end of the world, just you and me.” She stood and took a fighting stance.

“Later Lover, I’m a bit hungry.” He reached down and grabbed Willow, sinking his fangs into her neck. He drank while Dru, Spike and Darla fended off Buffy, Riley and Xander. “Here little Red, drink up.” He said offering his blood to the witch, which she drank. “Who’s next?” He grabbed Xander next. Then Tara. Then Anya.

He walked over to Dawn and touched her cheek. “LEAVE HER ALONE!” Buffy screamed. “DON’T TOUCH HER!”

“It’s funny. I was just wondering if she’ll be as good as you were her first time.”

“LEAVE HER ALONE! DON’T FUCKING TOUCH HER! TAKE ME IF YOU WANT, LEAVE HER ALONE!” Buffy ordered.

He turned back to the girl who was scared beyond belief. “Don’t worry Buff. I have special plans for her.” He pushed the girl towards Dru who sank her fangs into the girl’s neck. He watched Buffy as she watched her sister drink the vampiress’ blood down.

“No…” she cried.

Angelus grabbed Riley next and passed him to Darla. “He isn’t even worth the blood.” Darla snapped his neck and dropped him. “Guess it’s just us and you Buff. Now, you said something about taking you? I’m thinking yeah… but you can take all four of us on?”

She stood up preparing for a fight.

“That’s not what he meant.” Spike said grabbing her arms from behind as Darla ripped her clothes off.

“BUFFY! NOOOO!” Angel sat up quick and got his bearings. He looked around his office in LA. “Oh god…” Just then he looked up as Darla and Drusilla walked through the door.

“Just wanted to thank you for all the fancy meat. You truly outdid yourself Angelus. Now how about that goodbye kiss?”

He looked at her and blew her a kiss before shooting the crossbows from under the desk, hitting both in the heart. They crumbled to dust before him and he picked up the phone.

“Hello?”

“God Cordelia… I’m so sorry…”

“Angel?”

“Please… come to work tomorrow.”

“You okay?”

“They’re dead. Both of them. Dust.”

“Okay Angel.”

“And do me a favor, call Buffy and make sure she’s okay.”

“Sure thing Boss.”
