FADING SHADOWS (9/?)
"Did he call?" Willow asked, walking into the room.
Cordelia looked up, "Yeah. He thinks it may work."
"It will work" Angelus said, his tone arrogant.
Willow looked at Drusilla and rolled her eyes. "Cocky bastard, isn't
he?"
Angelus smirked, "You don't even know the half of it, Red."
Willow groaned, "Enough. I just ate...."
"Where's the bleached wonder?" Faith asked, grinning at the redhead.
"Still in bed. He was tired" Willow said, starting to blush when she
realized how that sounded. "I mean...he didn't sleep..Oh, damn it.
You
know what I meant."
Xander had to laugh, "Please. No more details. So, what do you think,
Wills. This gonna work?"
"Maybe." Willow said, making a face. "It can't hurt anything."
"I told you. It's going to work. The damn council has probably already
sent someone." Angelus said, getting a bit irritated that they weren't
listening to him.
"Ok, Daddy. It will work." Willow said, offering him a smile to appease
him. She could sense his temper.
"So, we sit and wait now." Faith said, frowning. "I hate waitiing."
"Me too" Xander said, "Especially when it is for someone to come kill
us. This sure as fuck had better work."
"It will work!" Angelus roared, his eyes turning yellow.
"Angelus, hush. Go to your room and cool off" Drusilla said, giving
him
a look that left no room for argument.
Angelus frowned but headed upstairs. "Fine...but I'm waking Spike up."
"Like a child" Drusilla said, exchanging a grin with Willow.
"Bet I know how up Spike will be" Willow said dryly.
"You mean....Spike and Angelus?" Cordelia said. "Ewww.."
"I don't know...might be worth a look" Faith said, winking. "Two mighty
handsome men....yum. Can I watch?"
"No watching. By anyone" Willow said, glaring with amusement at the
slayer. "We better check in with Giles. See what he and Ethan think
is
going to happen."
"I'm up with that, Red. Let's go" Faith said, throwing her arm around
Willow's shoulders.
"If this plan doesn't work, can I stake Angelus?" Xander asked.
"If it doesn't work, I'll stake him for you, kitten" Drusilla said,
smiling at the human. She stood and followed the way that Willow had
gone.
