FADING SHADOWS (12/?)
"So, this is Boston" Xander said. "Pretty cool."
"Nah, it isn't" Faith responded. "I grew up here. Hated it. But, it
does
have some nice features."
"So, do we know the plan?" Ethan asked, wanting to make sure everyone
was paying attention.
"Jilliam is going to be stalked until we find out who or what he is.
After that, we get to play" Angelus replied with a smirk.
"Uh, yeah. That pretty much covers it" Ethan responded with a smile.
"Any ideas if the council actually backs this guy or if they're just
scared of him?" Willow asked. Things would be much easier if he just
had
them all scared to fight against him.
"From what the men said, he has most of them in the dark. They have
no
idea it is him killing the slayers." Dru said.
"So, if we get proof and expose him, he'd be fired" Cordelia said.
"Delia, honey...he's had more than fifty people killed, including Buffy.
He also tried to have us killed. You want to just get him fired?" Xander
demanded.
"Well, personally, I'd love to see him slowly tortured over a bed of
hot
coals until his is begging for death" Cordelia responded back, her
eyes
lit with anger.
"That can be arranged" Angelus said, liking the girl's spirit.
"BUT, I'm human enough to not speak those thoughts out loud before we
even know who the fuck he is." Cordelia finished as if Angelus had
never
interrupted.
"Poor kitten...so confused" Dru said, running her hand through Xander's
hair. She pulled his head against her breast as she whispered soothing
words to him.
"Uh..Dru...I'm not confused..I want the guy to die too" Xander said,
rather enjoying the feel of Dru pampering him. He noticed Angelus
watching Cordelia with an interested smirk and Cordelia giving him
one
in return. Man oh man...what were they all turning into?
Willow smiled, looking at Spike. "Well, we did say we wanted to share
everything didn't we?"
"Didn't know that included the damn friends too" he said, laughing as
Angelus moved into to kiss the cheerleader. He leaned back and saw
Xander being kissed by Dru. "It's a bleeding orgy."
"At least they aren't fighting" Willow said, exchanging a smile with
Faith who was watching the events in the back two seats of the van
with
interest.
Ethan glanced back and snickered. He saw Giles look back, the man paling
slightly. "What is it Rupert?"
"Well, fuck. They're all having fun and I'm stuck driving in this
traffic" he complained, feeling rather lighthearted. For some odd
reason, their group worked rather well for them all. He personally
had
never been as happy. He knew Faith and Ethan were happy. Now, it
appeared that the others were starting to let their fences down, so
to
speak. He wondered if, after this was all over, they would all still
want to be together the way they were now. He could see that the nine
of
them had become a family of sorts. A very strange one, but hell, most
now a days were rather disfunctional. He heard Willow laugh as she
and
Spike continued to whisper in the back of the van, oblivious to everyone
but each other. His kids.
