remotely resembling Buffy.Today’s my birthday so please, please review as a gift? I only got one review on the last chapter and
although I was exceedingly happy to see it that selfish part of me wants
more. I hope you enjoy this chapter and
thank you for taking the time to read it.The
summer passed quickly for Riley, he was looking forward to getting away from
the vampire even if it was attending high school again. He was going to be a couple years ahead of
the Slayer and her friends but he didn’t mind, he was sure that he would be
able to befriend her. School was
starting that day; Angelus had gotten him enough clothes for the year. He had learned it was better not to ask
Angelus where he had gotten a hold of things; he knew that he wouldn’t like the
answer. So here he was, about to set
foot into a new school and he didn’t know where to start.“Riley?”
He whirled around to find the red head, Willow.He
smiled at her slightly, “Hey.”She
grabbed his arm and immediately pulled him toward the library. He followed without complaint. Buffy was already there, absently flipping
through books. The moment they entered
she looked up, surprise written on her face when she saw him.“You’re
that boy, the one that was with that vampire.” She was immediately on her feet.“I
managed to get away.” He paused, “I had to go somewhere, at
least at school I can keep away from him, it’s at night that I’m worried
about.”“We
can help you, right Buffy?” She looked at her hopefully.The
librarian chose that moment to walk out from his office, “Buffy, you must
understand…” He looked up, spotting Riley, “Oh, hello.
Is there something I can help you with?”“Oh,
Giles, this is Riley, he’s new here.” Willow paused, “Remember how we told you
about how we ran into that vampire, Angelus, and he had a human with him. This is him!”“You
were with Angelus?” He closed the book he had brought out with him.The
young man took a deep breath, “He kidnapped me.
I know that running won’t get him off my tail, I’ve tried that, so I
thought maybe I could find some help here.” He looked hopeful.“Of course.” Buffy smiled at him, “Do you have a place to
stay?”He
shook his head, wanted to voice it but he couldn’t, Angelus had demanded he
come back at night but he didn’t want to, “I’m sure we can figure something
out.” It was Willow who spoke again.“Thanks.”
He took a seat at the table Buffy had been sitting at, “Is there anything I can
do to help?”Willow
sat down beside him, “We’re trying to find out more about a vampire that calls
himself the Master.”“Angelus
talked about him. Said he was his
grandsire. It seemed like they don’t
like each other much. He didn’t seem too
worried about him, neither did William or Drusilla.”“Hey, Wills, what’s…up?” Xander
blinked at Riley, “Hey, what’re you doing here?”Riley
looked up at him, “I’m going to school here now, at least for this year.”“So,
how’d you get away? Last I saw you were
all buddy-buddy with the evil undead.”The
blonde ran his fingers through his hair, raking it back, “It took all summer
but I finally managed to ‘earn’ more privileges, like being able to go out and
get my own food. One night I went out
and didn’t come back. I’ve been staying
at a motel with what little money I have left but it won’t last much longer. I need to find a more permanent solution,
I’ve heard Angelus outside the motel at night, I’m not
sure how much longer he’ll be content to remain…docile. It’s only been a couple days since I got
away.”“He
doesn’t give up, does he?” Buffy questioned.“Not
really, he stated multiple times that he wasn’t going to let me go, that I was
his.” He rested his head on the table before looking at his watch, “It looks
like class is due to start soon.” He didn’t want to answer any more questions
about what happened with Angelus, he wasn’t sure he even could.He
got up and headed to class. Angelus had
tested him before he had allowed him to go.
William had asked him a series of questions after Angelus had gone over
what he could and couldn’t say. He had
proven to the teen that if Angelus willed it he had no choice but to do as he
said. Riley ate lunch with the others in
the cafeteria; they were talking about an upcoming zoo trip. The blonde would be attending it as well, was
looking forward to being a normal teen.
Today was a start, school had its ups and downs, he
wasn’t as popular as he was back in Iowa but that was to be expected since he
was new. A brunette, cheerleader type,
called herself Cordelia, had
already hit on him and he had turned her down.
She was pretty, yes, but he knew what would happen if he accepted. After classes ended he returned to the
library, it seemed that this was their meeting place, whether school was in
session or not.“Well,
we have an extra room; he can come stay with me.”
Buffy was talking with Xander and Willow as they
walked in.Riley
had made it to the library before them, his class was apparently closer. Giles had given him books to do research
from, it felt like he had always been a part of their little team, the way he
was immediately welcomed and given things to do. He looked through the book, examining the pictures
mostly but skimming over the words.“Better than having him stay with me.” Xander
plopped down across from the blonde, “Have a good day?”Riley
shrugged, “It was a day. It’s nice to be
able to be…normal.”Xander nodded, “Normalcy is overrated.” He glanced at the
book, “Interesting read?”“There
are some interesting things in here, nothing on the Master, although I did find
something on Angelus.” He turned the book so Xander
could see.Slowly
he began to read. Riley looked to see
what the girls were doing, Buffy had started going through exercise, training
motions and Willow was glancing through other books. Giles was with Buffy, supervising her
training.“He’s
a real bastard, isn’t he? Looks like he
was assumed dead, disappeared for awhile.” He paused,
“Wonder what he did…”“Well,
I know what he did for part of it, watched me.” He sighed, “Anyway, it’s a
place to start, knowing what he’s done in the past can prepare for the present. Maybe make it easier to take him out.”“Says he killed his own sire.” He paused, “Hey, what’s a
sire?” He looked over at Giles.The
watcher looked over at them, “A sire is the one who is responsible for creating
a new vampire. Like a parent in a way.”“Oh,
so he killed his mom.” He paused, reading a bit more, “Oh, he really did kill parents…”
He cringed a bit.Buffy
stretched, moving over and looking over Xander’s
shoulder, “Ick, maybe it’s a good thing he
disappeared for awhile; too bad he wasn’t really dead.”“Says he has four childer.” Xander scowled, “I take it that means he’s their sire.”
Riley nodded, “Drusilla and William, apparently he drove Drusilla crazy before
he made her.” He paused, “Hey, it says Drusilla is William’s sire so who’re the
others?”“Angelus
said that he might as well be William’s sire since Drusilla wasn’t…stable
enough to take care of him. He didn’t
mention anyone else.” He snagged another book off one of the piles on the
table, “That girl was crazy, let me tell you.
She kept ranting about stars and kittens and souls, it was creepy.” He began
flipping through the book.“So,
it’s decided, you’re going to stay with me until I deal with Angelus then you
can do whatever you like.” She smiled at him, “I’m sure my mom won’t mind.”He
smiled slightly at her, “I don’t want to be a burden.”“Nonsense.” Giles patted him gently on the shoulder, “Safety
is important and Buffy can help protect you.”“Alright
then, it’s getting late, maybe we should head out. I’m sure we have some explaining to do with
your mother.” He paused, “What do you want to tell her? That I’m some kind of exchange student or
that I’m visiting from another school?”“Visiting
from another school would probably be best, some kind of exchange program. Can say that the people you were supposed to
stay with fell through.”Riley
nodded in agreement, “Sounds like a plan.”He
followed the blonde Slayer out, night had yet to fall, it was nearing twilight,
but he was still nervous. Angelus didn’t
want him to go anywhere but back to the mansion but this was better, wasn’t it? He shook his head, banishing thoughts of
Angelus and what he wanted from his mind.
Buffy led him inside, glancing around for her mother.“Mom?” She put her bag down by the door.
“I’m
in the kitchen.”She
took a deep breath before making her way there, Riley following close behind, “Ran
into a problem at school.” Her mother looked up from cutting a tomato with a
sigh, before she could speak Buffy continued, “We have a new student and the
people he was supposed to stay with fell through so I kind of volunteered our
extra room.” She smiled, “See, nothing bad.”Riley
did a little half wave, “Hi Mrs. Summers, I’m Riley.” He offered her his hand.She
took it, “I really wish you would talk to me before making decisions like
this.” She looked at Buffy, disappointment on her face, “But it’s alright, he
can stay. Why don’t you go upstairs and
get the room ready?”She
nodded and headed upstairs, leaving Riley with her mother, “I’m really sorry
about this.” He paused for a moment, “I appreciate you letting me stay.”“It’s
no trouble, really. Where are you from?”He
smiled, “Iowa. I got into Sunnydale over
the summer. The family I was supposed to
stay with disappeared a few days ago so I’ve been staying in a motel but that
only lasts so long.”She
nodded in understanding, “Well, I hope you like hamburgers.” She brought over a
plate with hamburgers and buns on it, all the fixings were laid out on the
island.“Sounds great.” He said as Buffy came in.
“All
done, dinner ready?” She looked over the food that was laid out, “Looks great!”The
two teens dug in while Mrs. Summers prepared her own plate. They ate in relative silence, only talking
long enough for Mrs. Summers to tell Riley to call her Joyce, and to ask how
school went. After they had eaten Buffy
took him upstairs to show him where he would be staying.“Thank
you, Buffy, I really appreciate this.” He put his bag down at the foot of the
bed.“Not
a problem. Get some sleep and I’ll see
you in the morning.”He
nodded and closed the door, shrugging off his jacket and laying it aside. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he flopped
back on the bed, “What am I going to do?” He whispered softly.“You’re
going to come to this window and talk to me, boy.”It
was too soon, his gaze jerked toward the voice to find Angelus crouched outside
the window. Slowly he moved toward him,
opening the window slowly but staying out of his reach, “What?”“I
thought I was clear, you were to return to me after you were done.”He
shook his head, “Do I look done? I’m
doing what you demanded, this should be better for you, staying here with her.”The
vampire’s eyes narrowed, “Don’t forget who you belong to, Riley. You may stay here; I’ll bring you some of
your things tomorrow. I will be
expecting a report from you in the next couple days.” He turned and left,
jumping down and rushing away.Riley
shook his head, watching him leave before closing the window again. Slowly he stripped before crawling into bed,
feeling like he was being watched but knowing Angelus had left. It was a few hours before he allowed himself
to finally drift to sleep.The
teen awoke to a knock at the door and Joyce calling him for breakfast. He jerked awake, half expecting to see
Angelus there, and was relieved when he didn’t.
Slowly he got out of bed, slipping his clothes from the previous day
back on. Using his fingers to comb
through his hair he headed downstairs.
Buffy grumbled behind him, rubbing her eyes, she obviously didn’t want
to be awake yet.“Morning, Buffy, how’d you sleep?” He questioned as they
walked into the kitchen.“Wanted to stay asleep.” She yawned, “It’s too early.”
He
smiled, “Just think, we’re going to the zoo today.” He took a seat, “Thank you,
Joyce, I appreciate it.” He said, putting pancakes on his plate.She
nodded, putting orange juice in front of them.
Joyce drove them to school, leaving them at the front gate. Together they headed in, moving to the
library to meet with Giles. It was still
early; they had time before heading to the buses for the field trip. Xander was napping
with his head on the table while Willow was trying to help Xander
with math but the young man was being stubborn.“Math troubles?” He questioned, taking a seat across from
the pair.“Xander would rather sleep than learn.” The red head pouted.
Riley
smiled, “I know the feeling sometimes.” He shook the teen’s shoulder, “Wake up,
Cordelia just walked into the library naked.”Xander’s head snapped up immediately, “What, where?”
The
other three teens burst into laughter, “Not funny.” He glared at Riley, “That
was so not funny.”“Yes,
yes it was.” Riley said through his laughter.The
brunette boy’s head hit the table and he groaned, “So mean.”“It’s
almost time for class; you don’t want to miss the bus.” Giles spoke, looking up
from putting a stack of books away to glance at the clock.The
four of them were on their feet in a flash, heading for the doors and the waiting
roll call to get on the bus. Willow and Xander sat beside each other with Buffy and Riley across
the aisle. They arrived and were in
before too long, much to Riley’s delight.
It had been years since he had been to a zoo.“Poor
Lance.” Willow said, looking over at a young man who was being tormented by a
group of four bullies who proceeded to lead him into a closed off hyena exhibit.“Something
should be done about those four.” Buffy glared, starting after them but Riley
and Xander stopped her.“Hey,
no actual slaying, can handle it.” Xander headed
after them, Riley close on his heels, not going to let him rush into it alone.“Why
don’t you run along with your tail tucked between your legs?” Riley bit out
once they were inside, trying to get their attention before they actually did
toss Lance into the hyena cage.Xander moved toward them, grabbing Lance and pulling him
behind him. The blonde’s breath caught
in his throat, something was wrong. He
felt it inside him, the others had begun to laugh and he found himself turning
to look at the young man they had just rescued and he felt the laugh bubble up
inside and joined them.- You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.
