Blood-bound (Mini Series 3/3)
Old Habits 1/3
Of all people, why him?
How many times had he asked himself the same question already.
It wasn't as so he had been outcasted yesterday instead of eighty years ago. And still…
Why him? Why now? Why the sudden urge for - for what?
His presence? His friendship? His love? Nah.
He wasn't even sure if he was welcome or not.
Oh hell, who was he kidding - of course he was not!
His childe had made himself fairly clear about that. And still…
It wasn't as so he could go and see Buffy about this.
Not with him being the one to leave her for good.
Spike, however…
He was a different matter.
He was his childe - well, Angelus' childe - but still…
He just couldn't go on like this. All alone. All by himself.
Oh well, there sure was Cordelia, and Doyle, and Kate…
He had never counted them anyway. Maybe he should have.
At least should have tried.
However, deep inside he had always known they'd never stand a chance.
No matter how hard he - how hard they - tried.
It would always be her. Buffy.
His beautiful angel.
The only person, meaning more to him than blood.
Then what about Spike? What about Drusilla?
He firmly tried to shut up the nagging little voice reminding him of those, Angelus held dear.
Only Angelus?
Only the demon?
Then why the heck are your heading for Sunnydale?

No…
Dead…
Buffy…
Impossible…
Life couldn't be that cruel…
Giles, he gotta find the watcher…
Giles would know…
Giles would tell him it was nothing but a joke…
But what if…???
'Don't even go there, Angel!' he told himself off.
No…
It just couldn't be true…
There was absolutely now way…
A rumor. A lie. Nothing but a lie!
She just couldn't…
Giles, he gotta find Giles…
Yes, the watcher would know...
And Spike…
He shouldn't have listened to Willy.
The man was a liar.
A liar. Right?
Giles, he gotta find Giles…
And Spike…
They should know…
d' probably laugh their heads of because of his naïveté…
Yeah, he gotta find them…
Damn bartender…
Notorious liar…
She just couldn't…
His beautiful golden girl couldn't…
Giles... Spike… He gotta find them… Now…

If one door closes… 3/3
"Angel?"
"You gotta do something!"
…hate…you…hate…you…hate…you…hate…you…
"Spike?" Almost inaudibly the dark-haired vampire stepped behind the shaking figure.
The chanting never stopped, not even when he put his massive cold hand on the peroxide blonde's shoulder.
"C'mon, Spike." The big hand tussled the other man's hair. "There's nothing you can do."
…hate…you…hate…you…hate…you…hate…you…
If anything, the chanting even increased.
"We can't leave him here."
"Sun 's gonna be up every minute."
With a heavy sigh the dark-haired man bent down to pick up his quivering childe.
…hate…you…hate…you…hate…you…hate…you…
"Let's go, Spike," he whispered into the blonde's ear, trying to make him let go of the slayer's still body.
**Buffy**
**Stop it, Angel**
**You mustn't think about her - not now**
…hate…you…hate…you…hate…you…hate…you…
When Spike didn't respond, Angel forcefully freed the lifeless girl from the vampire's death grip. The younger man immediately curled up into a shaking ball.
"You take her inside," he quietly instructed. "We shall be with you in a minute."
He didn't wait for the watcher to react. Stifling a sob of his own, he kneel down next to the wheeping blonde.
"Spike!"
…hate…you…hate…you…hate…you…hate…you…
His childe had gone from rocking back and forth to rhythmically banging his head to the ground.
"Come here, love!"
Without second thought he pulled him into a tight embrace. The boy immediately held on to him like a lifeline, the small of his body spasm from sobs.
"I'm here," he whispered. "I have you."
When nothing reached the peroxide blonde, Angel did the only thing he - or was it the demon - could think of. Cutting his wrist with the sharp of his fangs, he once again forced the blonde to swallow his blood.
"From this day I thee take as me childe. You shall be part of me and I shall protect you with my life."
For one second he sat stunned, afraid of his very own action. As Angel he had never created any true childer. He closed his eyes, nuzzling his head in the blonde's neck.
Minute after minute went by.
"Angel?" A pair of blue eyes looked and actually focused on the dark-haired vampire. "Why?"
**Love ya**
**Either…Buffy…You…**
**Don't wanna loose you, too**
His embrace tightened when he rose to his feet pulling the peroxide blonde with him.
"C'mon, Will," he sighed, unsure of how to handle their newly formed bond. "Lets get inside."
