Knights, Werewolves, Vampires OH MY!!!!

Chapter Eight

Saturday morning found our trio of lovers, resting in bed, and just relaxing in the warmth of their love. They just another bout of fantastic sex, and Xander was basking in the after glow. He was getting spoiled with all the available sex, the way only a teenager could get.

Oz was just enjoying the sensation of truly belonging to a real pack. Sure it was not a normal pack, after all it did have a hyena and a vampire in it, but the bonds they shared more than made up for the fact he was the lone wolf in it. The love and belonging that got from the other two, more than made up the difference in his mind.

Angel was having the time of his life with his living and warm bed companions. Oh never doubt that he loved them, but the warmth was what he secretly craved. He loved the boys of course, he would die for them , even kill for them, but he still had his little vice, and that was he loved the feel of warm bodies surrounding him.

Xander was the first up, and after taking care of morning necessities, he wandered into the kitchen to start a pot of coffee; that is if he could find Angel's coffee maker. Passing by the answering machine he saw it flashing, and without thinking about, just hit the button to see who had called them. He listened to the messages as he made coffee, thanking God Angel had one.

Upon hearing Giles voice coming from the machine, he perked up to listen to what his friend and mentor had to say. He was afraid that Giles might find a way to break the spell and end his idyllic new life. When he heard about the prophecy, and that Giles needed help with it, he relaxed a little.

Walking back to the bedroom, Xander stopped in the doorway to speak to his companions.

"Guys Giles called last night and needs us over at his house right away. I was right last night when I told the girls that something awaited us, and now Giles has a book with a prophecy that involves us, and another group. So get cleaned up and dress so we can leave, okay," said Xander.

Nodding the other two quickly got up and headed towards the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day. Xander wanted to join them even though he had already showered, but knew if he did they would never get out of there, and would also need another shower, most likely in cold water this time.

Getting dressed in some more of Angel's smaller clothes, Xander swore that later tonight he was going to stop by his house not only to pick up some clothes, but the money he had squirreled away from his parents so he could by some better clothes as well.

He then turned to Oz's bag of clothes, laying out something for him to wear, then rooted around inside Angel's closet, to see what was there, then selected a deep blue and leather pants outfit.

Xander heard the guys playing in the bathroom, and as much as he longed to join them, he decided those needed time alone together. Going back out front he helped himself to the coffee, and sat back relaxing in the glow that came across their bond.

As Xander was getting dressed, Oz and Angel were in the shower together. Angel was busy soaping up Oz, while the younger and much smaller man was trying to get him to stop, it ended up being a tug of war over the slipper soap. This lead Angel to be pulled down and kissed by the werewolf, causing him to let go of the soap as he used both hands to steady the head of the young man so he could ravage his mouth.

Pushing Angel back against the wall, Oz broke the kiss, "Angel, we have to stop, after this morning the soul is willing, but the flash is weak."

Taking a moment to get his mind back on line, Angel quickly understood what Oz was saying and smiled down at the young man. Going in for a quick kiss, Angel grabbed up the soap and proceeded to wash Oz, who just signed and leaned back to enjoy the sensation of being pampered.

After a thorough washing, Angel let Oz rinse himself, while he did a quick wash of himself, by the time they were done, they were awake and laughing with each other. Drying themselves they went out to find their clothes already laid out, and smiled in the direction of Xander, sending a Thank you, through the link.

Xander hearing and feeling them, got up to make Angel some breakfast, and Oz some coffee. He never did notice that he just knew how to prepare their drinks; he just did it for them. Pouring the blood and sticking it in the microwave, hitting just the right buttons for it to be hot enough with being to hot, and pouring the coffee and add just enough creamer and sugar for Oz's taste, all the while just whistling under his breath, Xander worked on like he didn't have a care in the world.

When the other two had finally joined him he was just finishing pouring Angel's blood into a huge mug for him to drink, and before handing it to him, grabbed Angel for a good morning kiss. Turning towards Oz, Xander did the same to him before giving him his coffee.

Motioning Angel over to the stove, "Come on DB, I need food before I face Giles, and you're the only one that can cook this stuff without burning it."

Smiling at his hungry lover, Angel began making breakfast. After they were through, they quickly got into Angel's car, with Angel only getting a little singed around the edges. The process was repeated after they drove over to Giles place, and soon they were all inside the Englishman's apartment.

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

Giles had gotten up that morning early to get ahead start on the prophecy before the male Scoobies arrival. But like last night, most of the meaning still eluded him, and he grew frustrated. Some her had already figured out, like for instance,
Man who looked and saw, was most likely a Watcher, and that meant him. Somehow he was part of another trio that was to join with the original trio.

Plus the stanza:

Six must be saved
From united looker's raved
This group evil they must stave

Mean that they all, all six of them, must watch out for the Watcher's Council. The Council will try something that they must stop as well.

He also figured out what the first three stanzas mean:


White Knight brave and loyal
Red Beast who will become royal
Demon with a soul that is soil

Betrayed by love
Gifted by the whited dove
Given immortality from above

Trio now and forever bound
Through time enemies will hound
Until they are put into the ground

All three are about the boys, and something will happen to make Oz royalty among the werewolves, or something that already has taken place, that will make it so.

But the rest he just can't get his mind wrapped around it. Throwing it down on the table, Giles began to realize that maybe he wasn't meant to figure it all out, and hopefully that the boys will be able to help.

Just as he was about to get more tea, there came an urgent knock on the door, and before he could cross the room the lock turned and in barged the three male Scoobies. Realization struck Giles that Xander must have used the emergency key to let in Angel because of the problem with the sun that the vampire had.

"So G-man, what is this about a prophecy?" inquired Xander.

Grimacing at the young man, Giles started off, "Xander how many times must I tell you not to call me that dratted name."

"Don't know, lost count a while ago," Xander replied cheekily.

Sighing, rolling his eyes and admitting defeat Giles told Xander, "Fine, fine, but do try to keep it to minimum, if you can?"

Grinning at the defeated look on Giles face, Xander smiled and nodded. "Now how about you tell us about the prophecy in the book you got from the Council of dweebs?"

Pinching his nose, Giles began telling them what the prophecy said, what the research didn't say, and what he had managed to figure out.

"Well, I'll tell right now the Woman who cheered them all, can only be Cordy, right?" inquired Xander.

"Well if we go by that we only use people that are known to us, then yes she would fit," replied Giles.

"And the Man who studied law, Spike could fit that description. He was studying to be a barrister when we turned him back when," replied Angel, a little sad at the memory of what they had done to such a beautiful young man.
Nudging Angel's shoulder, Oz sent to him, None of that now, that wasn't you but Angelus.

Smiling at the young man, Angel reached down and kissed him in thanks, for bringing him out of the start of a deep brood. He always got like that when he thought of his Childe and what he had done to them.

"He's right Angel, there is no need for you to start brooding over what Angelus did," said Xander, ignoring the slight confused look on Giles's face.

Turning towards to Giles, all Xander did was tap his head to indicate they were talking, in part, with their minds. Nodding his understanding at that Giles went back studying the prophecy. Smiling back at them, "Yes your guesses would fit perfect. That both Cordy and Spike are involved, somehow, as we he.

"Now all we have to do is find Spike before the pre-set time," stated Giles.

"That will not be a worry, he is my Childe, I will use our link to summon him, even if he hates me, he can't disobey a summons that way."

"Angel, what link are you talking about," asked Xander out loud.

"When a Childe is sired, those above him or his Sire can summon them even from the other side of the world," explained Giles. Angel nodded at him, showing that he had the right of it.

Closing his eyes, and summoning up the demon inside of so much that he actually changed in front of them, Angel used all his demonic powers to send out the summons. By Blood, by desire, and by my power as Master of the Clan, William the Bloody, childe of the Aurliues clan, I, your Sire, summon you to appear before me.

The force of the summons was so great that it pulled the two boys into it with him, lending their small amounts of ability from the spell the summons.

It staggered both Oz and Xander, bringing them to their knees, causing both of them to bleed from the noses, eyes, and ears. Giles quickly grabbed towels and wash clothes to help stem the tide of blood coming from the boys, he knew somehow that this was all tied together with the spell and the summoning of Spike. But he couldn't talk to Angel about until he came out of his trance, and right now his more immediate concern was with the two boys in front of him bleeding.

He would have a LONG talk with the vampire when this was over, even if he didn't know about this, Angel should have guessed something would happen to the children that were now in his care.
