::OW! Bloody HELL!:: One naked, pissed off, soul-less vampire deposited
in an
ungraceful heap on the wood floor of Angels bedroom. In the center of a
circle of mortals.
Very confused mortals, with heads tilted to one side in the age old gesture
of -
::What the hell was that about?::
::Man, that was cool. I didnt know vamps bounced.::
::Giles! Wheres Giles?!::
::Wheres the spinny blue light?::
Spike leaped to his feet. ::Sod all that. Wheres my effin Sire?!::
And in response to the unabashed stares, ::Whut?!:: Looking down
at his own
nude form. ....::Oh, well. Sorry. Didnt mean to show you up there, Harris.::
Salacious grin to the ladies.
::Hey....did anyone else notice --::
::The silence?::
::The stillness?::
::The lack of chickens?::
Confused and disgusted vampire grimace. ::Chickens?!::

Angel stared up at the sky, at the bright tendrils of blue and pink and
orange creeping overhead, bringing warmth, and radiance, and certain Death.
Talk about Dejavu. Well, one thing was certain. It sure as hell wasnt going
to snow.
The vampire comforted himself in the knowledge that his Childe was safe.
He
had spent years uncounted being comforted by that fact alone. When he hadnt
wanted to be with the irritatingly lovable blond boy, when it was best
that
he wasnt, really. At least he knew he was out there somewhere.....
Wreaking havoc and killing people.
Angel sighed.
His demon was clanging against the bars of his flesh and bones cage. Angelus
was afraid of the End.
Angel was not.
Nope. No snow. So he was going to die, finally.
With his eyes open.
He watched as the first golden rays of sunshine crossed the horizon. Gods
in
Heaven, it was beautiful. How he had missed this. It was dazzling, and
sacred, warm and life affirming, and .....
It smelled like chicken.
A mortal man landed on the vampires feet. ::OW! Bloody HELL!:: said the
mortal man.
And the sunrise stopped in the sky. And the blue, spinning cyclone
dissapeared. And the earth grew a few feet beneath the vampire.
::Giles!?::
