Lapse

Note: quite a shock wasn’t it. It was short
because I wanted the thought of what had happened to hang in your mind a bit.
If you think that was a cliffhanger, and it wasn’t supposed to be, you should wait
to see what happens here. Let me know what you think.

I’m not
sure my new system works. Let me know.

Chapter 7

 

Spike didn’t even bother knocking.
He just barged right in.

“Honey. I’m home.” He said in a
sweet sarcastic tone.

“Now give me my fucking Boyfriend!”
he yelled at the top of his lungs.

Being all mysterious Angel stepped
out of a corner, his face shadowed slightly.

“Oh come on Peaches. The shadows
are so cliché. This isn’t a bloody movie.”

“Spike. You’re late.”

“Yeah well you’re an ass. If I
would have know you were going to hog tie my mate then I would have at least
tried to be more punctual.”

“I didn’t hog tie him. Almost had
to though. Your boy puts up a good f Spi Spike.”

“ That’s why he’s my boy.”

“Would you like something to
drink?”

“Cut the crap Angel. Where is he
and when can I rip your throat out?”

“Patience Spike. We have business.”

“We have nothing till you let him
go.” Angel paused thinking.

“You care too much. Last time I saw
you, you were going to kill him.”

“Things change, people change.
You’ve proved that yourself. Look at you. You still have your soul, and yet
you’re all evil. Let him go, and we’ll talk.”

“Okay.” He pushed a button. This
opened a drawer at the desk they were standing next to. Angel pulled out a
small key. He waved for Spike to follow him. He did. He followed Angel up the
stairs and into a long wide hall on the third floor.

He unlocked one door. It lead to a
set of rooms. One of the main suites it seemed to be. It had many other doors
connecting them, all of which he bet were locked. Angel held the door open and
spike walked in. the room was a suite. It was probably the best one next to
Angel’s and the crew’s rooms. He looked around a bit.

He found Xander sitting on the bed,
pouting while a pretty demon girl talked to him. Spike looked closer and he
found himself to be way wrong. The girl wasn’t talking to Xander. She was
throwing herself at him, petting him, and telling him all the dirty things he
could do to her if he wanted. She was touching his face and licking his neck.
And Xander wasn’t pouting. He was glaring, and uncrossing his arms every few
seconds to viscously bat away her head or a hand.

“And just what tloodloody hell do
you think you’re doing to my Xan-pet?” spike growled at the girl.” She jumped.
They both did. Both of them off the bed. The girl to the other side of the
room, and Xander into Spike’s arms.

“God. She just kept following me.
Couldn’t get her to go away.” Xander’s voice was mocking now. “Not until master
Angel said she could.” He mimicked in a perfect French accent. The two turned
around and glared at the vampire in the doorway.

“Don’t look at me like that. I just
thought he might like something to pass the time.”

“Couldn’t have just given him some
magazines could you?” Spike snarled. Angel went into the room and looked the
door behind him. He sat on the bed.

“Now. You have your precious boy.
Now lets talk.”

“Hello. Standing here, standing
right exactly here. I was just kidnapped and almost molested, hell I pretty
much was, don’t I even get a reason why?”

“Sure you do. Spike would you like
to tell Alexander here what you have been up to?” Spike glared at Angel. Of
course he was going to pin this on him. Spike wasn’t having that.

“Sure. Okay I’ll tell him.” He
turned to Xander. “A few years ago Angel here did me a favor. Now he’s come to
collect. I won’t have af itf it.”

“What do you owe him?” Spike was
telling Xander, but looking at Angel with contempt, and sarcasm.

“Well pet, he came to me a few
months after he got here. Ponce wanted me to sleep with Buffy, in hopes it
would split up her and Riley, and drive her back to Angel. I was having none of
it.” He looked at Xander now. “He didn’t seem to understand that I had a place
with you and you friends, or that I couldn’t sleep with someone other than
you.” he said softly. Xander swallowed hard. He kissed Spike. It wasn’t eager.
It was appreciative. Angel cleared his throat, pulling them out of their lock.

“You gonna tell him the rest?”

“What rest?” spike asked.

“Like why you owe me big time?”

“I owe you nothing this big. This
is going way beyond what you did for me, which makes it totally irrelevant.”

“Actually I want to know. After all
if must have been pretty big if I got kidnapped over it.” Xander reasoned.

“Fine.” S gla glared at Angel more.
He hoped he wouldn’t piss Xander off.

“Angel gave me some magic that made
you fall in love with me. Well not exactly. It just took the feeling you had for
me, and sped them up. Say if it had taken you 5 years to go from liking me to
loving it was reduced to 1 if not less.”

“HE WHAT?” Xander asked. Stunned.

“Please don’t get upset Xander. I
promise I didn’t mess with your choices or anything. This was all you. I just
sped it up a bit.

“When was this?” Xander asked.

“About two years after I originally
came to Sunnydale with dru. Why pet?”

“That means that Angel went behind
Buffy’s back. She can’t possibly know. She flipped out when she found out about
us. She would have told me it was a spell. You must love her so much Angel.”

“Look this is not the point. The
point is Spike owes me.”

“I’m not doing it. Sod the fuck
off.”

“Oh you’ll do it. You’ll do it or
you’ll regret it.”

“Didn’t you here me Peaches. Get bent.
We’re going home.”

“Last chance Spike. I’m not asking
much.”

“You have no idea what you’re
asking. You want me to betray my friends, so you can get back the girl you
supposedly love, yet stab in the back when convenient.”

“Are you sure I can’t change your
mind.” Angel was staying quite calm through all of this.

“Positive.”

“I really didn’t want to do this.”
Angel made a high-pitched sound. They couldn’t describe it. It was demonic. Two
demons came from one of the locked doors, and the girl came back.

It went so fast. Maybe 3 seconds tops. Angel was off the bed, and
he spun around grabbing Xander by the arm, and dragging him back across the
room. The two demons had Spike by the arms. They were both too strong for him
to move. Angel had Xander by the arm, but it was a tight hold. Xander struggled
but couldn’t get loose.

“I really, really didn’t want to
have to do this. But you won’t pay up, so I will simply have to take away what
I gave you to be even again.” he smiled evilly.

He licked his lips, and bit
forcefully into Xander’s neck. Spike screamed, and Xander squealed. But neither
could do anything about what was happening. Spike watched as his love was
drained before his very eyes, and listened in horror as he heard Xander’s heart
beat slow down. [[This can’t be happening. He’s bluffing. He just wants me to
pay up. He’ll stop before it’s too late.]] But Angel kept going. Xander’s
energy left him slowly, and he soon stopped struggling, just so he could hold
on a bit longer. He could feel the blood leaving his body. His face went pale,
and his breath shortened. It wasn’t like when Spike bit him. He knew Spike
would stop, but Spike loved him, and he liked it when he was bitten. There was
nothing but pain in this. Agonizing white pain. {{This is it. This is what I
get for falling in love, for being happy. God I hate Angel. I hope Spike kills
the son of a bitch.}}

And yet Angel kept going. He knew
what he was doing, and he didn’t stop. He sucked and licked and sucked until
the pulse was gone, and there was nothing left but a dry, hollow shell of a
Xander.

Angel threw Xander’s body to the
demon girl that had been all over him earlier. “Take care of this.” He said
roughly. The two demons let go of Spike who automatically dropped to the floor
in shock. He watched as the girl, who was quite strong for her size, carried
Xander’s body into the adjoining room.

“Now we are even Spike.” Angel said
walking out he rhe room. If he hadn’t been so shocked, and upset, and all out
weakened by the experience, Spike would have killed Angel right there. Instead
he threw himself down the stairs and into his car, speeding home. He wasn’t
sure why, but he felt he had a few things to do before he could do anything.

 

 

 

Note: ouch. Evil
Angela huh. I know you probably hate me for this, but it’s for the best I
swear. I can give you a hint though. If you want a bit of foreshadowing, well
actually even the hint I give you will ruin what happens. Let me know what you
think. I am free for counseling, and grief management.
