Chapter 9
***Buffy***
I am sitting outside of Willow's window. My enhanced sight allows me to see the steady rise, and fall of her chest in the dark. I look at the blinking alarm clock flashing three. My hearing picks up the faint ringing of Willow's phone.
I can only hear Willow's side of the conversation. She says something about the Bronze, and hangs up. I see her throwing on a jacket, and a couple other items. I decide to myself to go to the Bronze to see what is happening there.
I walk into the alleyway by the Bronze. I am about three minutes in front of Willow so I decide to take out one of my cigarettes, and light it. Oh ya another thing I picked up in Germany was that being a vampire it really didn't matter what I did to myself.
A faint light from my lighter shines light throughout the alley making shadows in every corner. I see a figure at the end of the alley bending over a girl, "Hey!" I say trying to scare him away so that Willow wouldn't have to deal with him. He turns his head toward me, and I have to shake my head to make sure I am not hallucinating, "Angel?" he snarls at me, "Angelus," I state.
I hear approaching footsteps, and turn my head around. I feel a dead weight thrown at my chest, and catch it not on instinct. I look up in time to see Angelus' fist swinging at my face. He catches me on my lip busting it open. My back slams into the wall, but manage to keep my footing. When I look up Angelus was gone, and at the head of the alley was Willow.
***Willow***
"Hey Will," Xander says Faith trailing behind him along with Giles who had a book in his hands, "I met them on the way over," Xander explains.
I barely register the fact that Xander, Faith, and Giles are here. I have been to wrapped up in the vamp in front who I recognized after a while from the eyes even with all the dirt, and different hair, "Buffy," I say my eyes slightly closing.
The other three hearing this stop dead in their tracks. Xander inches closer to my side, and grabs my hand trying to pull me away. I wrench my hand out of his keeping eye contact with Buffy, "Will... I..." she starts, but can't seem to get the words out.
"But Buffy we got your soul back. WHY! Are you still killing?" I ask emphasizing why to her. She looks down at the dead girl in her hands, and her tongue darts out to lick up the blood on her lip.
"Will this is not what it,"
"LOOKS LIKE! BECAUSE I COULD HAVE SWORN YOU JUST KILLED THAT GIRL!"
She cringes at my words, "Will... Really I just got punched by a vamp, and he split my lip. Then he threw the girl at me, and what was I supposed to do just let her fall?"
I try to believe her. I really do, but to me it just seems to farfetched. It is even harder because I just got over her, and now she has to come back, and screw everything up again, "I just don't know what to think right now Buffy. Why did you come back? NO! I really don't want to know right now," I say. Wow that came out weird, but whatever. I walk away leaving Buffy with the others.
A/N: So did that clean most of it up if not tell me.
