Once and Again

Chapter Twenty: The Evil Men Do

"Ah...just the man I wanted to see." Trull said smiling as he opened his door. "Come in, come in...tell me everything."

Trull continued to smile as he shut the door and walked back to his desk. Sitting down he looked at the man seated acrorom rom him. "So...what can you tell me?"

"Well...they have Phillip, your pet. I'm not sure what they plan on doing with him though."

"He's of no consequence. He knows nothing. Ravyn and her vampire are my main concern."

"I haven't located them as of yet. They keep a pretty low profile and no one has spoke of their whereabouts."

"How many are there?" Trull asked him.

"Four humans...and the girl."

"And vampires?"

"Just Ravyn, Spike and Angel."

"Angel?" Trull asked, sitting up in his chair. "Surly you don't mean Angelus?"

"I'm not sure Master."

Trull smiled big and stood from his chair. Walking to a filling cabinet he opened it and started flipping through the various files before selecting one."Angelus...the Angelic One." Trull said as he brought the file back over to his desk and sat. "From the bloodline of Aurelius. Sired by Darla Conner...." Trull smiled big before chuckling softly and looked back up. "The vampire with a soul."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Dawn knocked on Spike's door and was about to walk on in when Angel opened it.

"Hey, I was wondering where you've been." She said smiling as he moved to the side and let her in.

"Well, guess I can leave now that you're here." He said, a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Everything okay?" Dawn asked as he shut the door.

"Depends on how you look at it I suppose."

Dawn gave him a little smile. "Okay" she said, not sure what was wrong with him but knew something was.

"Well Spike and Ravyn are back in the bedroom. Call me if you can't stay and I'll be back." Angel told her as he opened the door back up and walked outside. "Tell Ravyn I said good-bye."

"Sure" Dawn told him as he smiled at her and left. *weird* she thought as she turned and walked towards the bedroom.

"You guys decent?" she asked after knocking on the closed bedroom door.

"Yes" Ravyn yelled giggling.

Dawn opened the door and smiled as Spike and Ravyn were lying on the bed in an apparent `tickle fight'. "Alright....how old are you two again?" Dawn asked grinning at them as she walked towards the bed.

Spike pulled away from Ravyn, smiling big as he turned to Dawn. "Hey Nib...what brings you...oh, there we go!" He said smiling big as he saw the crutches in Dawns hand. Sitting up he reached over, grabbing thnd snd stood, a huge grin on his face. "Just what I needed."

Ravyn giggled softly as she watched Spike walk around the room on the crutches, smiling happily as he did. "Don't take much to please him does it?" She asked, amused at his behavior.

"No...never does." Dawn said, sitting on the bed with Ravyn.

"Where's the poof at?" Spike asked, heading towards the door. "Time to tell him to go back to brood central."

"To late...he left right after I got here. "Dawn told him. "He told me to call him if I couldn't stay."

Spike looked over at Dawn for a few seconds before glancing over at Ravyn. "Good. Gettin tired of looking at him." he said as he turned and walked out of the bedroom into the hall.

"What's with the looks?" Dawn asked Ravyn as she turned to look at her.

Ravyn sighed slightly and gave Dawn a smile. "You better sit back and get comfortable, this is gonna take a while." she told her as she turned to face her.

"Thought it might." Dawn said smg asg as she held up a brown paper bag. "Brought the `girl talk' basic survival kit."

Ravyn giggled as Dawn reached into the bag and pulled out a large container of ice cream, spoons and chocolate bars. "You always this prepared?" Ravyn asked as she grabbed the ice cream.

"I try to be." Dawn said grinning as she flipped over to her stomach and picked up a spoon. "Okay...start talking."

Ravyn smiled as she sat the ice cream down between them and flipped over as well. "Eat slow....this is gonna take a while."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Trull looked up after reading everything in `Angelus'' file..twice. He smiled big as he handed it across the desk. "Is this him?"

"Yes Master, this is him." he said, looking at the picture that accompanied the file.

Trull's smile widened as he leaned back in his chair. Linking his hands together he stared at his `new project'. "The rainy season is fast approaching. The Brazil trip will have to be postponed. Find out `everything' you can about the associates of Angelus...and most importantly, everything about him. If I can get him on our side, things will definitely be interesting."

"Yes Master, but from what I've seen, he's pretty laid back."

"That's only because of the soul. He's a ruthless killer with a lust for pain and misery. " Trull said as he picked up his address book. "We can use him and I think I know how to get him."

"Yes Master."

"Go...find out what you can." Trull said, dismissing his minion and flipping through the book. He smiled big when he found what he was looking for.

Picking up the phone he dialed the number and waited as it rang, smiling when a familiar voice answered. "Hello Demetrie...I need you in LA and bring your toys with you."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Wow" Dawn said quietly as she looked over at Ravyn. "I can't believe.....wow."

Ravyn stared into the almost empty ice cream container as Dawn sat there stunned at the previous two days events.

"I just can't believe..."

"Well believe. I didn't want to at first, but hearing is believing."

Dawn finally looked down as Ravyn played with the ice cream. "Guess that explains Angel's mood when I got here."

Ravyn looked over at Dawn. "Bad mood?"

"No...more like...hurt I think."

Ravyn sighed. "I was kind of snappy with him. I didn't mean to be, It's just...he expected me to walk right into his arms and not give Spike another thought."

"What did Spike say?"

"Nothing. He was asleep when it all happened."

"Well, that's a good thing. Those two barely tolerate each other. I'm surprised they haven't killed one another yet."

"I know. Guess it's always been bad between them then?"

"Yeah, as far as I can remember. There's always been that whole `alpha male' crath tth those two."

"Well hopefully Angel will just drop it and we won't have to deal with the normal `vamp dominance' thing. I've seen enough of those pissing contest to last me an eternity."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Always bad. Lots of blood and violence. Don't want to see Spike or Angel either one in that."

Dawn looked at Ravyn curiously. "What happens? I mean, what does it boil down to exactly?"

Ravyn looked over at Dawn, smiling at the inquisitive look on her face. "You really don't want to know Dawn."

"Yes I do...tell me."

"Okay....edited version....blood, brutal attacks, biting, lots of growling and ultimately it ends with the victor either screwing the other into submission or he just kills him."

Dawn sat there looking wide eyed. "That's the edited version?"

Ravyn giggled as she looked at Dawn. "Yeah, that's the edited version."

"I'm with you." Dawn said stunned. "I don't think I want to see that."

"Me either." Ravyn said sadly. "Someone always gets hurt."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Angel walked into the hotel and went straight to his room, bypassing the others as they bombarded him with questions about his whereabouts.

He had spent the last four hours driving around trying to clear his head. He had thought long and hard about his conversation withyn ayn and knew he had no right to try and persuade her to `see' him.

Entering his room, he walked to his bed and sat down heavily. He looked around the large empty room and wondered if his entire purpose in life was to help others and never get anything in return for it.

Laying back he stared at the ceiling. His mind drifted back to Spike and Ravyn like it had a hundred times that night. He smiled sadly as he thought about them. He envied them. They had something he desperately wanted. They had someone who loved them and would move Heaven and Earth to see that the other was happy.

*You're a lucky man Spike...don't ever take it for granted.*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*

Dawn walked into the Kitchen, throwing away the empty ice cream container and candy wrappers before turning to the Living Room. "Spike" she said as she looked around for him.

Walking to the door and peeking out she saw him out on the deck smoking.

"Hey...you two hens finish up your little tea party?" Spike asked, smiling as Dawn walked out on the porch.

"Yeah" Dawn said giggling. "How's the leg?" she asked him as she leaned up against the rail beside of him.

"Better." Spike told her, throwing out his spent smoke. "Hurts a little, not much though."

"Well, that's good. You're lucky that's all that happened to you."

"I know. Still kinda hard to believe."

"And why's that? If bad stuff is going to happen...then it's going to happen to one of us."

Spike smiled at her. "Yeah, got a point there."

"Well, looks like I'm you new babysitter then." Dawn said, turning and looking out towards the ocean.

Spike looked over at her and grinned. "Far sight better than the last one...less broody and poofy."

Dawn giggled at him. "You're never gonna grow up, are you?"

"Probably not. Just too much fun."

"Well, try..hard!"

Spike chuckled at her softly as he looked at her. She was almost `beaming' as she smiled. "What's with the happy face?" he asked her curious.

Dawn smiled bigger. "Nothing."

"Uh huh...doesn't look like nothing."

Dawn ducked her healittlittle and Spike knew instantly what it was. "Please tell me you haven't been seeing that vampire!"

"What..he's nice." Dawn said looking over at him, surprised at him for yelling.

"Nice!?" Spike asked wide eyed. "He's a vampire...nice shouldn't be a word used to describe one."

"Well, I know three other vampires that seem pretty nice...why couldn't he be?"

Spike rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Dawn, you know the difference between the others and us. Why would you even put yourself in danger like that?"

"I'm not in any danger Spike. We've only seen each other at the hotel."

"You haven't actually gone anywhere with him?"

"No" Dawn told him as she looked at him. "He could tell the first time he came to see me that I was uncomfortable, so....we just hung out at the hotel."

Spike looked at her long and hard. Surly this vampire wanted more than to just spend `quality' time with her.

"Don't worry so much. If he's willing to see me with the whole gang present, then he can't be all that bad." Dawn said...hopeing he would approve.

Spike sighed heavily as he looked at her. It had been to long since he had seen her happy about anything. Hopeing he didn't regret it later he gave her a small smile. "Well, as long as you `don't' leave the hotel with him, I guess I can live with it."

Dawn smiled brightly at him and wrapped him in a tight hug. "Thanks Spike."

"Yeah well, don't make me regret it. He hurts you, he's dust." Spike told her as he hugged her back.

"Fair enough."

Spike gave Dawn a tight squeeze before finally releasing her. He smiled down at her as she stood there smiling. It was nice to see her happy again.

"Well, I'm gonna go change the sheets in the guestroom. If you need anything just give me a hollar." Dawn told him as walkwalked back inside.

Spike watched her leave and stood there a few minutes before walking back inside. He made his way back to the bedroom and noticed the bathroom door was shut.

He smiled big as he walked over and opened the door. "You decent?" he asked as he walked in.

"No" Ravyn said as she lay in the tub.

"Good, was hopeing you weren't." Spike said smiling as he walked over to the tub and sat down on the edge. "Need any help?" he asked reaching down and moving the bubbles away so he could see her.

Ravyn giggled softly as she brought her hands up, moving the bubbles back over her chest. "No, I remember how to bathe."

"You sure...cause I don't mind helping out." he told her smiling.

Ravyn looked up at Spike as his hand roamed over her chest. "Yeah, I'm sure. Now go away." She giggled again when Spike stuck his lip out, trying to pout. "Go talk to Dawn till I'm through."

"Don't wanna, I want to stay right here."

"Fine, suit yourself.....but keep your hands above the waterline." she said smiling.

"Well, that's no fun." Spike told her, trying to look hurt.

"Baths aren't supposed to be fun."

Spike raised an eyebrow at her. "This leg gets better and I'll prove that statement wrong." he said smiling as he leaned down to kiss her.

Ravyn sat up slightly, smiling as their lips touched. She closed her eyes as Spike leaned down further, deepening the kiss.

They both gasped loudly as Spike lost his balance, falling backwards into the tub landing hard on Ravyn.

"Awwwwwww.....Spike!" Ravyn yelled as he landed on top of her, groaning slightly as she tried to move him off her stomach. "Move, you're squishing me you big sow."

"What the bleeding hell does it look I'm trying to do?" Spike yelled back at her as he tried to lift himself up. His wet hands kept slipping on the sides of the tub. His legs were dangling over the edge and his eyes were stinging from the soapy water that had splashed up in his face.

"Awww..." Ravyn said, half way giggling and crying at the same time as she pushed on Spike trying to get him back up. "Spike, you're killing me."

Spike rolled his eyes. "You're already dead woman, pipe down already!"

Ravyn wiggled her legs and pushed Spike until she finally got her legs on either side of him and pushed him, causing him to sit hard on the bottom of the tub.

"Now how the hell am I gonna get out?" Spike asked as he was scrunched into a ball between Ravyn's legs.

"Don't know." Ravyn told him, giggling softly before she started laughing.

Spike watched her as her light laughter turned into a hysterical fit. He couldn't help but laugh with her as he sat there. Her laughter was always contagious.

"Um...you guys okay in there?" Dawn asked from outside the bathroom door.

Dawn waited, a big smile coming to her face as she listened to Spike and Ravyn laugh. Ravyn's screams is what had caught her attention and sent her running to see what was wrong. She wasn't sure what was going on, but it couldn't be as bad as she initially thought. Shaking her head, Dawn turned and walked back over to the door, pulling it shut as she walked out of the bedroom.

Spike leaned over, putting his hand down beside of Ravyn trying to scoot closer to her. "Come 'ere." he said smiling, leaning in as close as he could.

Ravyn sat up and wrapped her arms around his neck as she looked at him. "If you needed a bath, I could have given you one."

Spike smiled at her before leaning in, kissing her briefly. "You still can." he told her as he pulled away slightly from her lips.

"I think you'd like that too much." Ravyn said, lightly nipping at his lips.

"You're probably right." Spike said, pulling her close to him, kissing her hard.

Ravyn moaned and smiled at him as they broke the kiss. "Well let's get you outta here." she said as she pulled her arms away from him and grabbed the tub on either side of her.

Spike sat up best he could as Ravyn lifted herself and he smiled up at her as she stood.

Ravyn grabbed her towel, wrapping it around her body before stepping out of the tub. She turned to Spike and grinned as he sat there half in and half out of the tub. "Come on" she said, reaching down and grabbing his hands.

Ravyn finally got Spike pulled from the tub. She rolled her eyes as his wet clothes dripped all over the floor as he sat on the edge of the tub.

"You're mopping this up." she told him as he pulled his wet t-shirt off and laid it on the tub.

"Can't....crippled remember?"

Ravyn looked back over at him after draining the tub and throwing a towel down where he was dripping. "If you can have none stop sex for hours on end, you can mop up this water."

"Yeah, but that's different. I don't have to do anything but lay there." he said, leaning his head to the side and giving her a little smirk.

Ravyn rolled her eyes and reached down grabbing the waistband of his shorts. "Up" she said, as she started tugging them down over his hips.

"You know...since you're down there and all...."

Ravyn looked up at him after pulling his shorts off his legs and could see the look on his face. She stood up and looked at him, naked as the day he was born.

"Yeah, suppose I could." she said softly, grabbing her towel and letting it fall to the floor.

Spike's smile increased as she stood there, but fell away when she winked at him and grabbed her robe.

"To bad I have to mop....sorry." she said turning and walked out of the bathroom.

"Hey!" spike yelled, still sitting on the tub. "What about me?"

"What about you?" Ravyn yelled back from the bedroom.

"I'm naked in here." Spike called back, not believing she had left him sitting in there.

"Yeah....and I'm naked in here."

Spike raised an eyebrow and smiled before grabbing the crutches and standing as quick as he could. His smile broadened when he walked back into the bedroom and saw Ravyn laid out across the bed.

"Took you long enough Grandpa." she said smiling at him. "Now get your naked ass over here."

Spike took a deep breath as he looked at her. "If you insist."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Demetrie...what took you so long? It's been over a week?" Trull asked, furious as Demetrie walked into his office.

"Sorry Master Trull. I had a few problems with customs."

"Did you bring it?" Trull asked him as he sat back down in his chair.

"Yes Master." Demetrie told him. "I'll only need a few things to complete it."

"Anything you need, we can provide for you."

"It will need to be something personal."

"It's not a problem. Everything is planned out and ready to go. I'm just waiting to learn what will persuade him to join us."

"Your man had contact then?"

Trull smiled big. "Yes. It's only a matter of time now."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ravyn breathed a sigh of relief as she stood up and climbed off the motorcycle. Spike must have broken every speed law there was on the way over to the hotel. Even though Randall was gone...didn't mean Trull was and the quicker they got there and got Ravyn inside the better.

"I still don't see why we had to come over here." Spike said, whining as he got off the bike. "It's not like we haven't seen the git before."

"Spike, glaring at him and talking to him are two different things. Now stop being a baby and come on."

"Do I have to?"

Ravyn smiled and shook her head at him before walking over to him. "Yes, you have to. This is important to Dawn. She really likes this guy. Now play nice and I promise I'll make it worth your while." she said leaning up and giving him a quick kiss.

"But he's a vampire!"

"And we're so pulse having?"

"You know what I mean." Spike said rolling his eyes.

"Well, that's why we're here." Ravyn said, grabbing his hand and pulling him reluctantly towards the door.

Dawn smiled big when she saw Ravyn and Spike walk in. "You made it."

"Finally" Ravyn said, walking into the lounge, still pulling Spike along behind her.

Dylan stood when Ravyn and Spike approached them and smiled. "Nice to see you both again."

Ravyn squeezed Spike's hand hard when she heard him growl softly and turned to look at him. "Be nice" she mouthed before giving him a stern look. "Nice to see you too Dylan." she said as she sat down.

Spike sighed loudly as Ravyn drug him down on the sofa with her. He crossed his arms over his chest, determined NOT to have a good time.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Trull entered the great room with Demetrie with an evil glint in his eye. His plan would work, he knew it would. "Show me."

Demetrie smiled as he reached into the shipping crate, removing a large wooden box before sitting it on the table. He opened the box, exposing its contents to Trull.

"This is all it will take?" Trull asked curiously.

"Yes Master. This and a personal item of the subject."

Trull's smile widened as he gazed down at the large book in front of him. He reached out, pulling it from the box before rubbing his hand over it. He flipped the book open, scanning a few pages until the pages began flipping on their own, coming to rest on the spell he had been searching for. "Neat trick." he said, his smile getting bigger as he started to quietly read the spell before him.

"As you can see Master, It will only take a few minutes to perform." Demetrie said, happy he had pleased his Master.

Trull finally tore his eyes away from the book to look over at Demetrie. "A few precious moments....a lifetime of reward."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Spike had finally been allowed to leave the lounge area, by `playing nice'. He still didn't like Dylan or him seeing Dawn and he had had enough of Phillip fawning over Ravyn to last him an eternity.

Walking to Rob's office, he walked in, shutting the door behind him.

"Hey Spike." Rob said as he looked up.

"Hey...need a favor." Spike told him as he walked over to his desk.

"What kind of favor?"

Spike sat on the edge of Rob's desk and looked at him. "I need you to find a soul restoration spell."

Rob sat back and gave Spike a wide-eyed look. "You're wanting your soul returned?" he asked, not believing that `Spike' of all people would want his back.

Spike rolled his eyes at Rob. "Not for me you git...for Mr. GQ out there. I don't trust him."

"Oh" Rob said, smiling at his misjudgment. "Well, how do you know he even wants such a thing?"

Spike snorted out a laugh. "You think I care what that ponce wants?"

"You can't possibly be thinking of restoring his soul without his knowledge."

"That's exactly what I'm thinking." Spike told him as he stood. "If this guys on the level and really cares for Dawn, then he won't mind."

"But what about the `side effect' of the spell. If he loses his soul, what good will that do?"

"Then I suggest you hack into that database at the Watcher's Council and find a more `permanent' spell." Spike told him as he reached for his smokes. "If anyone knows how to permanently restore a vampires soul, it's the Watcher's Council."

Rob gave Spike a long look before opening his desk drawer and pulling a small journal from the bottom drawer. He smiled as he laid it on his desk. "I never thought Dad would actually give me this." he said as he looked at the book. "You wouldn't believe the stuff he has written in here."

"Yes I would." Spike told him as he lit his cigarette. "Wes was even more anal than Giles was."

Rob smiled as he looked up at Spike. "Yeah, so I've heard." he told him before looking back down at the book. He smiled big as he opened it and read the first passage.

`Wesley Windham Price...fully accredited member of the Council of Watchers' 8th August 1999'

"So, you think you can get in?" Spike asked, bringing Rob out of his musing of his father.

"Yeah." Rob told him as he started flipping through the book. "He has a code and password in here somewhere. I saw it a few years ago. I think it may be the backdoor to the secret archives."

"Well, get crackin then." Spike told him as he ground his smoke out on the heel of his boot. "I want it done as soon as possible."

"Sure, I'll get right on it."

Spike gave him a nod of his head and started for the door. "Oh, one more thing." he said as he paused at the door. "No one finds out."

Rob looked up and gave him a smile. "Sure thing Spike."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Demetrie smiled as he took the lock of hair and places it in the bowl along with the various herbs. Trull stood off to the side, a smile also on his face. It had taken eight days since Demetrie's arrival to have everything they needed. The motivation for his conquest was enough for even Trull to find amusing.

Trill glanced over to his right, glancing at the man who had successfully been able to pull off his latest scheme and smiled.

As a large plume of red smoke drifted into the air and Demetrie started to chant, Trull looked back over, eagerly awaiting the spell to take effect.

"And so shall it be!" Demetrie yelled, as a bright flash of light shot up from the conjuring bowl. the electricity in the room intensified as everyone present felt their skin tingle with the power of the spell.

As the light show ended, Demetrie turned to Trull. "It is done Master."

"Very good." Trull told him. "And you." he said walking over to his new `favorite'. "You are in for a very special reward my childe."

"Thank You Master, but no reward is needed. Doing your bidding is reward enough."

Trill smiled as he walked over to him. "Maybe....the girl would please you?" he asked.

A true smile curved his lips as he looked at Trull. "Yes Master...she would."

"Very well then, she is yours and yours alone."

Dylan looked at Trull as he stood there, his smile becoming bigger as he thought of Dawn. "Thank You Master...you are to kind."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ravyn giggled as her and Spike lay on the sofa, messing around. He was biting at her neck and pulling at her clothes, removing them.

"You know you want me." he said softly against her neck as he slid her pants down her legs.

"You're not as irresistible as you think you are." Ravyn said, trying her hardest not to give in to him.

"Yes I am."

Ravyn closed her eyes as Spike's hands roamed over her naked legs. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't resist him. One touch and she was gone.

Spike smiled as he licked at her ear, knowing she would give in. He brought his hand up, massaging her breast through her bra as he kissed a trail to her mouth.

Ravyn wrapped her legs around Spike's and thrust her hips up into him as he lightly bit at her lips before kissing his way down to her throat. "Spike, I need you." she whispered softly.

Spike grinned big as he ran his hand down her side to her leg as his mouth made its way back up to hers. Ravyn moaned louder as his hand slid between her legs, rubbing at her. She arched her hips into his hand, wanting to feel him.

Spike slid his hand inside of Ravyn panties as he kissed her hard. Ravyn gasped for air as Spike slipped his finger into her folds. She lazily opened her eyes into small slits as Spike kissed his way over her lace clad breast, smiling as she ran her hand through his hair, holding him to her.

Ravyn opened her eyes and screamed as she saw someone sitting in the chair smiling at them.

Spike raised up quickly and looked at her when she wiggled and squirmed beneath him. Her eyes were huge and he turned his head to the direction she was looking. He rose quickly from the sofa, growling loudly as Ravyn sat up and grabbed the throw that lay on the back of the sofa and covered her half naked body.

"What the hell are you doing?" Spike yelled loudly as he glared at the last person he expected to see.

"Well I was enjoying the show until you stopped. It was just getting interesting."

"Get Out!" Spike yelled, his eyes flashing yellow as his anger was about to consume him.

"Oh don't worry...I'm leaving." he said looking over at Ravyn. "Just stopped by to pick something up." he said as he stood from the chair.

Spike looked over his shoulder at Ravyn before turning back around. He smiled at first then chuckled slightly. "Is that right?" he asked, amused at the situation.

"Yeah...that's right." he said smiling before drawing back and punching Spike hard.

Ravyn watched and screamed as Spike's body flew backward over the sofa and landed with a loud thud in the floor behind it.

"Spike!" she yelled as she stood up on the sofa and climbed over the back.

"Ah...don't worry about him. He always could take a punch."

Ravyn knelt down beside of him and flipped him over onto his back. He was out cold. "Spike....come on baby, wake up." she said softly as she looked at him, rubbing the already apparent bruise on his face.

"Well come on Doll....we've got things to do."

Ravyn stood up, yellow eyes blazing. "What The fuck Is Wrong With You Angel! Get Out of my house!" she screamed as she stood there glaring at him.

Angel laughed lightly and stared at her as she came around from behind the sofa. He smiled big as he gave her a long look from head to toe. "You look completely eatable in red...do you know that?' he asked, taking in her red bra and panties.

Ravyn fought to keep her human mask in place as her anger at him started to boil. "I won't tell you again. Get! Out!"

Angel chuckled slightly as he walked towards her. "Sure thing sweetheart, just came for you anyway." he said as he stopped in front of her. He looked down and lifted his hand, running it over the top of her breast above the lace of her bra.

"You're insane!" Ravyn said as she slapped his hand away from her. "I don't know who you think you are but you're two seconds away from getting your ass kicked all the way back to Wilshire Boulevard!"

Angel chuckled at her. "I do love your spunk. No wonder William likes you." he said reaching out to touch her again. "Too bad he won't be able to join us. He always enjoyed a good orgy, the more the merrier...don't you think?"

"Go to Hell Angel!!" Ravyn yelled, almost in tears as she watched Angel's human mask fall away, revealing his demon.

"Now see....I never really liked that name." he said, flashing his fangs at her. "Makes me seem...soft, don't you think?" he asked, smiling down at her. "Why don't you just call me......Angelus."
