Angel sat on the edge of his bed, cradling his Italian loafers, brooding. He hadn't done this in a while and took him a half an hour or so to remember how to brood properly. He began to mutter to himself. "I can understand being upset with me. I can understand throwing me out of her room. Literally. But does she have to abuse my shoes?" He shook his head sad...
What kind of snack food was appropriate when a vampire kidnaps you? Reese Cups? Skittles? Mike and Ike's? Junior Mints? Definitely chocolate. Willow had a feeling that this was a dark chocolate kind of day. That was the trouble with being a denizen of Sunnydale, there were never any etiquette books to cover the situation. "What'll it be, pet?" Spike asked,...
“He bit me!” Dawn said without preamble as she threw open the doors of the hotel and ran straight into Faith’s arms. The elder Slayer calmed her daughter by patting her back and murmuring nonsensical words of comfort. When Dawn had composed herself, she attempted to have a real conversation with her. “A vamp got you?” The girl nodded. “ I’m sorry, D, I sho...
Michael and Buffy lay snuggled up in bed together in Buffy's bed. "I wish I could stay here forever, it's so warm and comfortable." Buffy said. "Mmm, me too." Michael said and pulled Buffy even closer to him. Buffy squeezed Michael and held him close. "OK, oxygen becoming an issue here." Michael said. "Oo, sorry. Didn't mean to crush you." "It's OK." M...
The next morning came much too soon for blissfully exhausted Bethany and Ariana. Their evening tryst kept them up very late, providing no time for a good night's rest. The rude awakening from Xander and Nic came early and loud as the boys were eager for the first 11U travel baseball game of the season. Seemingly oblivious to the fact that Bethany and Ariana...
The events of the night before left everyone weary and troubled. A lot had happened in a mere 24 hours. Too much as far as they were concerned. Yet, the group all pulled together and dealt with it. Slumber for some was easy. For others less mentally relaxing. As the sun rose to a brand new day only Jack and Ruby were up with the proverbial chickens. Cows to...
Candi sulked all the way home. Her actions resulted in her younger Brother-in-law's football team losing their game. Her strategy of teasing and manipulating the opposing team with her feminine wiles backfired. Kevin's own team fell prey to her mischief leaving the adversaries to out play them. She felt awful about it. She thought she was helping. In a way...
I was awake half an hour before dawn, and went out onto the balcony to sit and think and watch the shadows of the ridge behind the hotel retreat off the bay and up the beach. It was very peaceful. Nobody was congregating on the lawn this morning. No voices were coming from the adjacent deck. Rain had chased away the songbirds but had since dispersed. The sil...
Addison Rogers slumped over the wooden railing of her newly freed Spanish Warship the Ceville. Still recovering from her near fatal clash with her Djinn possessed Captain. Its demonic powers nearly killing her entire crew over the time they were prisoners. Sapping life energy like a Vampire yet not feeding on their flesh and bones itself. Those on occasion...
