Part 2
Blaze walked swiftly down the sidewalk thinking over everything, when suddenly three men surrounded her “If it isn’t Blaze” one said.
Fred, Wes, and Lorne stood around the table reading through all the documents that they had. “Look at all this information” Lorne said “She was a monster.”
“Whoa…she was just as bad as Angel…in his monster days” Fred spoke “It says here that she sometimes tortured her victims to death before eating them…when she didn’t do that if she didn’t like one, she’s light them on fire. I can see why there’s so little information on her…anyone who approached her was almost killed.”
“Imagine this girl’s mind. I mean, a girl that was raised by a monster…another vampire. Think of how corrupt she must be…”
“Actually I’m afraid to” Lorne said “I hope she doesn’t get any ideas about going after us.”
“What could her connection with Darla and Angelus be?” Wesley asked “There has to be something here.”
Lorne shook his head “I’m actually afraid now, if she had known Angelus than who knows what could have come out of that?”
“She hasn’t exactly shown any signs of wanting to fight” Fred told them “I mean it’s like Angel said, she won’t fight unless she’s pushed to it.”
“Yet Angel seems a little too hesitant to fight” Fred told him.
“Well maybe that’s because deep down he’s always been afraid of her” Wesley said “She seems very aware of how to use her power. It’s how she started the fires that really confuses me, there’s no way a vampire could acquire that kind of power…even as an evolution.”
“If she’s indestructible” Gunn asked “How can we fight something like this?”
“We won’t have to if we find some kind of weakness from her” Wesley said “I found a small scripture written about her, it’s written in Ancient Egyptian so it might take me a little while longer.”
“Does it have anything about her weakness in it?” Fred asked.
“Well there is something about a ‘supreme strength’ to beat her with” he replied.
“I have a bad really feeling about this” She told him.
1820…
The figure ran swiftly along the cobble stone street with it’s breathing rapid with fear, and it’s eyes wide in terror. His mind racing as to what he just saw, ‘a monster!’ he thought.
Suddenly he was grabbed and slammed against the hard wall of an alley. “No” he said “Please…”
“Please?” her cold low voice “Please what? Please take me from my misery? Please kill me? Please…”
“Please don’t” his shaky voice sounded.
Her bitter dark laugh sounded and echoed off the walls “Don’t…” she repeated “You Noblemen really know how to specify what you do and don’t want. Don’t…well not to worry, I won’t…”
He looked to her to see her eyes glowing red, her teeth grew long and became like razors sitting in her mouth. Strange, he’d heard about the demons like her…but they were tails of terribly deformed faces when hers…stayed the same. He then saw a man behind her, his face twisted and deformed like the tails spoke of. “Kill him and eat already” Angelus said “This night is beginning to bore me.”
“Everything bores you” she said “But I agree.”
She then pulled the boy closer and sank her teeth into his neck…he screamed.
“For a Nobleman he sounded so much like a girl.”
“This coming from a girl with a voice deeper than many others?”
She gave him a look “At least I’m unique unlike the women you pick off. I’d actually be surprised if you found one with an actual mind.”
“I have my reasons for choosing those” Angelus said before changing the subject “Why must these mortals be so predictable.”
“Because you never give yourself a break from hunting” she replied “Their predictable because you’ve hunted every kind.”
Angelus smiled “Maybe it’s time to move on.”
“Would that be with or without Darla?”
Angelus shook his head “You don’t have to hate her so much.”
“She tried to kill me.”
“And you did the same.”
“She almost succeeded, when I tried, you stepped in the way.”
Angelus smirked. “She wouldn’t stand a chance against you.”
Kali looked to him with an evil glint “No” she said “She wouldn’t.”
Gunn walked down into the lobby looking for Fred, he looked back to the stairs and then turning and seeing Blaze standing there. She looked the same, with a calm look on her face, studying his. "What are you doing here?" he demanded.
She smirked "No 'hello'?" she asked “No ‘how are you’, ‘nice to see you’, ‘please don’t kill me.’”
Gunn glared at him "You can't come here" he said "Leave."
"Can’t do that…you see I’m looking for your resident boss…see him around?” she asked.
"I'll tell you this once" Gunn told him "Get out of here."
"Yeah, okay well then now that you've told me that I'll just leave, c-ya" she said sarcastically "Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Do you think you can take me?"
"I know I can."
“So can he.”
She spun around, saw no one and when she turned back Gunn who was already there, punched him. Her head snapped to the side before she smirked and looked at him, "Nice hit" she said.
They attacked each other.
An alarm went off throughout the building. Angel ran out of his office “What’s going on?” he asked.
A security member ran up to him “It’s Blaze Mr. Angel…she’s in the office…and fighting Mr. Gunn”
Angel’s face turned to shock and concern “We have to get down there now.”
Gunn's face slammed into the wall before he was thrown to the ground "I'd think that facing you would be a lot harder" Blaze told him "After hearing about you for so long I was looking forward to fighting you…but I didn't think you'd be this bad."
Gunn ran toward her and began to throw punches. Blaze blocked everything thrown at her, then grabbed both his arms and head butted him, Gunn stood and tripped her, then pulled out a stake and tried to stab her. Blaze grabbed his arm before kipping up and knocking Gunn down. "Not bad" she said.
Gunn jumped up and ran at her, but she disappeared before Gunn got to him, she looked around in confusion before he saw a fist coming toward him. He fell back. Blaze smirked "Your not ready" she said.
"Ready for what?" he asked.
"Ready for me," she replied "You don't think before you attack, you think because you've got skills and muscle that you're the big bad. But your not, you let your anger take over and it makes you vulnerable…weak. You let lies which you once believed true lead your soul…It's going to kill you."
"So your not going to?"
She shrugged “All I wanted was to see Angelus."
He stood and looked her over carefully, "Your playing with me."
"As much as I want to" Blaze told him "I made a promise to someone precious to me that I wouldn’t kill you otherwise you’d of been dead before you dove a me.”
"You’re not getting into the office."
He took a defiant step forward "Do you really think you can stop me?" she asked "You can barely get a shot in."
"I can keep you out of there" Gunn replied "Your not invited."
She laughed “Sorry can’t talk me out of it…see I have a message to get through to Angel so I’ll kill you later.”
She turned and began to walk away, Gunn quickly pulled a dagger from under his shirt and threw it directly at her heart. She spun around and caught the dagger, "Good shot" she said "Unfortunately you missed…my turn" she threw the dagger, it hit him in the side "Such a predictable super hero” she said before turning and walking away "See you later."
Gunn stood in shock looking down at the dagger…he fell to the ground.
