For The Love Of Spike

Chapter Five
Sunnydale never seemed so far away, Angel thought as he passed the welcome to Sunnydale sign, but now that he was here he didn’t know where to go, how stupid can he be, and how sad is it that he didn’t even know where his childe lived, he turned the car towards town and headed for the Magic Box, someone there would tell him where his boy was or heads were going to roll.
He pulled in front of the Magic Box and shut the car off, taking the keys out of the ignition he walked over to the door, seeing a light on inside he was shocked to find it locked, he banged on it and waited for someone to answer.
The door opened and a woman of whom he never seen before answered.
“We’re closed now, but if you have money you want to spend, you can come in.”
“An, it’s not good to invite total strangers in, Hellmouth remember all kinds of things that want to eat you.”
Angel having heard Xander Harris knew he had the right place, and he walked in. Xander looked at who walked in the door and seeing the look on his face wished that he had a stake handy.
“See, Anya, things that want to eat you, standing right there. Oh, God. Buffy!!! Angelus is back and he’s come to eat us.” Xander screamed becoming hysterical he knew that look, from his nightmares, that was Angelus standing there, and he looked pissed.
Buffy came running out of the training room stake in hand and stopped when she saw Angel.
“Angel?” She asked and slowly moved forward, stake ready in case Xander was right.
“No, Buffy. Watch him, don’t let him fool you, he’ll kill us all.”
Angel looked at the scene that was playing out in front of him and couldn’t believe his eyes; did these children never grow up?
“No, Xander, not Angelus. If I were do you really think you’d still be alive? I only came to see which one of you will show me where Spike is living.”
Xander relaxed, and said. “Well, Dead boy, why didn’t you say that wanted to find Spike? Going to stake him put us out of our misery? “Angel calmly walked over to him and grabbed him by his shirt, and Xander gulped, seeing the look of fury in his eyes and suddenly wasn’t so sure that this wasn’t Angelus. Buffy walked over and went to grab Angel’s arm only to be throwed back against the wall forcibly, Angel turned to her and said.
“I need to find Spike; I didn’t come here to kill anyone, at least not yet.” He said and glanced at Xander who grabbed Anya’s hand and started inching towards the door. “Dawn said he was injured and I need to find him.” Angel told them softly, his voice so soft, though it didn’t disguise the steel in it. Buffy stood up, angry now that Angel, her Angel came here looking for the bleach blonde menace she should’ve staked long ago.
“Why the sudden Spike obsession?” she asked him.
“Look I don’t have time for this.” Angel said frustrated, now that he was here he could feel his childe’s pain and it was causing Angelus to rattle his cage much more furiously and Angel wasn’t too happy either. “Can someone please just point me in the direction that Spike is in?”
“Oh, that’s easy he lives in a crypt in the cemetery.” Anya told him, pulling away from Xander who was trying to pull her out the door.
“Thank you.” Angel told her and turned around and walked out the door not sparing anyone with a backward glance.
After he left everyone looked at one another in stunned silence.
“Ok that was freaky. Even for Angel.” Xander said.
“Oh, that was Buffy’s ex? I bet he gives nice orgasms.” Anya said and Xander looked at her shocked. “What? I’m only saying the truth.”
Buffy just shook her head, and then turned to Xander. “I got to follow him; if Angelus is back and he’s looking for Spike then this could only lead to no good. Xander call Will we may need her to restore Angel’s soul again. Anya, call Giles let him know what’s going on, tell him not to invite Angel in if he shows up at his house.” That said she turned and sprinted for the door.
