And here’s another chapter.
Sooner then I expected but no complaints. I need to write another chapter for Midnight’s
Dawning before I do another one for this so there might be another update
within the week, next week maybe. I’m
also going to see about pounding out another part of Good Pet. Now, someone asked me about Acathla and why I
didn’t have the whole sucking the world into hell bit. The reason is that Angelus doesn’t want to
destroy the world or humanity therefore he would never resort to using such
means, I also killed Darla off before she could even think of doing so after
her loss of soul. We’re reaching the end
of the mayor arc and once that is resolved I might stop at them going to LA. I might consider writing a sequel to this if
people would like me to, it would cover their time in LA but I have to warn
you, it’s been a long, long time since I’ve watched Angel so if I were to do a
sequel there would be nothing in it regarding the series, if there is it would
be minor. So, tell me if you’d like a
sequel so I can start figuring out what to do while I’m wrapping this up. So without further ado here’s the next
installment.
Angelus
knew the mayor was up to something, something that definitely went against his
own plans and overhearing the minions talking amongst themselves about some
kind of Ascension didn’t settle his mind.
Part of him had resigned itself to working with the slayer again to
prevent the destruction of the human race but another part of him fought
against it, saying there had to be another way.
Soft fingers rubbed his temples as he sat hunched over a few, still ash
covered, books, trying to find anything about the Ascension. His chocolate eyes opened slowly as he sensed
that it was his childe behind him, trying to help his sire get rid of the
horrendous headache that was plaguing him from looking at all these books and
not finding an answer.
“What’s
wrong sire? You’re all stressed out.”
His
eyes closed again, “Research.” He replied.
Xander
made a face, “Don’t we have any scholars around?”
“One
or two but this is something I wanted to do.
Hoping that we won’t have to do what a nagging little part of my brain
is telling me we’re going to have to.”
“What’s
it telling you?”
He
sighed, “Not going to share that right now childe.” He rubbed his eyes, “Why
don’t you go check on Oz? He’s out
patrolling with the slayer and her friends.
Make sure he sees you; he’ll slink off to meet with you and tell you
what’s going on. There are treats for
him in my bottom dresser drawer.” His fingers ran over Xander’s, “I’m going to
do a little more research, maybe raid the watcher’s stock in the library.”
“Can
I have a kiss first sire?” Xander gave a little pout, waiting.
He
chuckled, “Yes.” He said, pulling him down into a slow, sweet kiss, “Now get
going, I’ll meet you outside the library in a half hour.” He smacked his ass
lightly as he walked away, causing the young vampire to yip and jump a bit at
the contact.
Xander
easily found the treats hidden in the bottom drawer. Of course they weren’t really his idea of
treats. It was a plastic baggy full of
raw pieces of steak. He eyed the blood
they were floating in and licked his lips, now that was his kind of treat. He headed towards the cemetery to meet up
with the werewolf. They were fighting
when he arrived, new minions, not made by his family. He leaned against a tree, catching Oz’s eyes
from inside the fray. Without a word the
wolf fought off the vampires with a growl before rushing over to Xander after
making sure his retreat would be safe from prying eyes.
“Master
sent you?” He questioned, looking at the bag of meat Xander was holding.
He
smiled, “Yep puppy. It’s good to see you
again.”
“You
too, Darla lost her soul but we haven’t heard from her since on this end. Faith hasn’t been around either. Willow
is convinced she’s figured out how to give you a soul. I’ve been sabotaging it whenever I get the
chance. She’s sweet on me so it’s not
too difficult to pull off. We’re
researching something about an Ascension, apparently
someone’s going to try to pull it off.
From what I’ve found out it’s a rite to make yourself into a demon, a
full demon, not a mix of human.”
“Sounds pretty gross to me.”
He
nodded in agreement, “Yeah. I pocketed
this.” He held out a book that he pulled from his inner coat pocket, “Tells
quite a bit about it. Snagged it before
we came out thought master might want to have it.”
“Thanks.”
He smiled, taking it, “Oh, here’s your treat.
He didn’t say whether to give you one piece or the whole bag but there
were more in there so I think I’m supposed to give you all of it.” He held out
the sandwich bag.
Oz
licked his lips, “Most appreciated. I’m
going to come home this weekend to report back, I don’t think they suspect
anything yet.”
Xander
hugged him, “Good, get back in there, you’re going to be missed if you stay
much longer.” He watched as Oz slipped the bag into the pocket where he got the
book.
He
waved before running back, tackling a vamp and staking it. Xander slipped the book into his coat before
walking towards the fight, wanting to watch a little bit before heading to meet
Angelus at the library. Total mayhem, it
made him smile, although having the vampires be taken down so easily kind of
disappointed him. Obviously whoever made
them went for bulk instead of talent. He
smirked, catching Buffy’s eye and waving to her before strolling away, heading
to his meeting. Angelus was waiting for
him outside the school’s doors, leaning against a tree and looking at the sky.
“You
know childe, I’ve been thinking. After
this whole business with the mayor blows over I think we’re going to head to
LA. Nice change of scenery there and
since I’ve already got a foothold here I can start expanding a bit. With my sire out of the way it will be a
snap.”
Xander
stretched, “I think that would be a good idea.
I’m bored here, nothing new, no one trying to take over.” He moved to
stand next to him.
“So
what did our little puppy have to say?” He questioned, his eyes not leaving the
half moon.
“Well,
Darla lost her soul, Faith took off, Willow
is trying to give me a soul, and they’re researching something about an Ascension. He gave
me this.” He took the book from his pocket and handed it over, “Said the
Ascension is a rite to make someone into a full fledged demon.”
“That’s
helpful. Now we just need to figure out
when, where, and how.”
Xander
cocked his head to the side, “What about who?”
He
smirked, “I already know who. That’s the
easy part. I believe we’ll have to do a
little infiltration into his operation to get the answers we need, definitely
something that needs to be stopped, hopefully before it happens.”
“What
do you have in mind?”
He
sighed, “I have no idea. I would say to
send a minion or two in but they couldn’t get anywhere, and I don’t want to
risk any of my childer. My wolf is out
as well, he’s with the slayer and her crew.” He began to flip through the book,
“We have a few of choices. Join the
mayor and sabotage him, join the slayer and hope that she can come up with what
kind of demon he’s trying to turn into so we can stop the ritual, or we can
wait until he ascends and kill him at that point.”
Xander
sighed, “I have no idea. How about we
try to figure it out on our own for a little bit then if need be at the last
minute we can join the slayer.”
“Now
there’s an idea, join the mayor, get the information we need, feed it back to
the slayer, then at his ascension we double cross the bastard.”
They
smiled at each other, “I like that idea, so devious.”
Angelus
laughed, “Now we just have to get the mayor on our good side. He doesn’t trust us so we’re going to have to
be very careful about how we do this.”
“Are
we going to tell the slayer what we’re doing or are we going to leave her in
the dark until we get something she can use?”
“We’ll
wait; we’re always butting heads with her anyway. We do on the other hand need to inform my
puppy. I might need to use him so
there’s the possibility he’ll have to pull out and come home.” He watched as
the group of teens headed quietly into the library to nurse their wounds, his
puppy sniffed the air, catching his master’s scent as they walked in.
It
was only a few minutes later before he came back out and moved towards them,
making sure no one caught sight of where he was going, “Master.” He kneeled
before him and Angelus put his hand on his head, petting his hair like he was a
puppy.
“Good
boy. We’re going to be playing both
sides against each other so depending on what happens we might have you leave
them and return home.” He continued to pet him, smiling; “Now I want you to be
a good boy and get any information you can.
Keep sabotaging that witch’s spell, I hope that she gets frustrated and
gives up.”
He
nodded, “Of course master.”
“Go
ahead and get going, I’ll see you this weekend and you can help us with a task
or two to get the ball rolling.”
Oz
got to his feet before heading back to the library, “He’s a good puppy.” Xander
smiled, watching him go.
“Yes,
he is. I want you to head home; I’m
going to go speak with the mayor. I
believe it’s time for us to begin our little game.”
Xander
smiled and kissed him, licking over his lips, “Yes sire.”
Angelus
returned the kiss, growling softly in the back of his throat as he held his
childe against his chest. His fingers
roamed down his back as he nibbled and sucked at his tongue. A low moan escaped Xander’s lips and he
pressed closer against him, licking over his teeth. Slowly they pulled apart and Angelus ran a
thumb over kiss swollen lips.
“My childe.” He growled softly, “Get going, straight home,
no stopping for Chinese.”
He
smirked before strolling away, hands in the pockets of his coat. Angelus shook his head before heading in the
opposite direction; he had a meeting to attend.
It was just as easy to get in as it was the first time except this time
the mayor wasn’t in his office. He took
a seat, relaxing in his chair, before beginning to read through the book Oz had
brought him. It wasn’t twenty minutes
later and he had company in the form of Mr. Trick.
“Well,
well, well.” Angelus closed his book, sitting forward in the chair, “Didn’t
expect to see you here and you’re certainly not the man I’m looking for.”
The
black vampire blinked at him before smiling, “Angelus, good to see you too.”
He
smirked, “I should have staked you last time you came to my home. Where’s your boss?”
“He’s
around.” Came the simple reply.
“Now,
now, that’s not the kind of answer I was looking for. I have a business deal to present. I take it he’s off with Faith?”
“As
a matter of fact he is. What do you want
to speak with him about?”
“Just a little business venture that isn’t any of your concern.”
He leaned back in the chair, going back to his book, “Why don’t you run along
like a good little boy and leave things to the big boys, I’ll be fine here
waiting until he gets back. I’ll give
him another twenty minutes before I head home.” He looked at the clock,
“Perhaps you should call your boss and tell him I’m here.”
Trick
didn’t look impressed, in fact he looked father angry at seeing Angelus there,
“Why don’t you just go and I’ll tell him you stopped by.”
“Sorry,
no can do. No, go away, you’re bothering
me.” He waved him away with his hand, going back to his book. Trick growled, reaching over the desk and
grabbing Angelus’ shirt, pulling him over the immaculate surface. Angelus growled in return, dropping his book
and grabbing Trick’s wrists, “Bastard, this is one of my favorite shirts.” He
hissed, digging his fingers into the tendons of his wrists, forcing him to let
go.
“Now boys, no fighting.” The mayor’s calm voice came from
the door and both vampires looked over at him.
Angelus
let go of Trick and stood up properly, straightening his shirt and jacket
before picking up his book and returning it to his pocket, “I was waiting for
you so that we may discuss something and he assaulted me. Makes me wonder if I should
be trying to do business with you at all if you have him on your payroll.”
Angelus moved around the desk, holding his hand out to the mayor, “I believe we
got off on the wrong foot. My name is
Angelus and I hold dominion over this city.
It is a pleasure to meet you.”
The
mayor took his hand, “I am Mayor Richard Wilkins III. What might I do for you tonight?”
Angelus
smiled, “There, that’s much better.” He waited for him to take a seat before
sitting down himself, “I have a little business proposition for you.” He
ignored Mr. Trick.
“What
kind of proposition?”
“A rather sensitive one that shouldn’t be privy to those who cannot
be around others without some modicum of decorum.”
The
mayor looked over at Trick and nodded, signaling for him to leave, “If you
could excuse us.”
The
vampire nodded and walked out, still looking angry after his encounter with the
elder vampire, “I can get you any information you desire on virtually any
topic.”
“And
what would you like in return for this information?”
He
smiled, “All I ask in return is to be let in on your plans, perhaps help a
little.”
“And
what kind of information could you get for me?”
“The slayer, her family, her friends. Demons that are here and
ones that aren’t. So many things,
I just need to know what you want. Spells, curses, even books.” He pulled the one out of his
pocket, “Like this.” He actually saw the mayor swallow at the sight of the
book, “Think of this as a token of good faith.” He put the book down on the
desk and slid it forward, “What do you think?” His voice was a low purr as he
picked up the book.
“I
think, Mr. Angelus, that you have a deal.”
He
smiled, relaxing, “Now, what is it you want me to find out?”
“What
do you know about werewolves? I hear
that there’s one in my city but have yet to be able to find any trace of it.”
He
chuckled, “I know enough to know that the werewolf you speak of is mine. He’s doing a little job for me that is best left as a secret.”
“I
see.” He paused, “There’s a box I require, if you
could acquire it for me I will tell you exactly what my plans are.”
“I’m
sure I can, what’s this box you need?”
“The Box of Gavrok. I
was going to have my Faith go get it but I believe it will be better if you do
it, think of it as a show of faith.”
Angelus
chuckled, “Not a problem, I’ll have it to you in the next day or so. I’m sure the slayer will be after it as well,
should prove to be fun.” He got to his feet, “It’s been a pleasure doing
business with you and I shall have that box to you in the next couple of days.”
He turned and walked out, heading home, he needed to see about finding the box
and informing the slayer of the little tidbit of information. He wanted to run into her when he got the
item he was seeking and he hoped that the mayor wouldn’t trust him and would
send Faith to get it as well, “This is going to be a blast.” He laughed,
walking home.
