The Vampire Slayer Diaries

Chosen

Still in the pegan temple standing with Spike's arms wrapped around me.

Buffy was in a full on make out with Angel. I stared at her for a few minutes before ignoring it and turned on my mate. He gave me an amused shrug and gave me a small kiss of my own, making me grin.

We turned back just in time for Buffy to break her kiss and stared Angel down.

"Well I guess that qualifies as happy to see me." Angel said smiling wryly.

"Angel what are you doing h... don't even." Buffy said tiredly. "I just want to bask." She paused for a second. "Okay I'm basked. What are you doing here?"

"Not saving the damsel in destress that's for sure." Angel retorted.

"Oh you know me." Buffy said reaching down and picked up the Scythe. "Not much with the damseling."

"You got your share of destress though." Angel said making me nod.

"You heard?" Buffy asked glancing at me.

Pulling from Spike's embrace, I grabbed his hand tugging him with me and went over to them.

"I told him." I told her glancing between Angel and her.

Angel walked across the room and picked up a folder he dropped.

"We started talking since the whole thing with Spike started." I added crossing my arms. "Once my head cleared and figured out what we were up against... and someone we won't mention names...stopped acting like a child." I gave Angel a look, he looked back at me innocently. I rolled my eyes in amusement.

"You do realize she tried to kill herself don't you?" Angel asked looking at Spike. "Over you, of all people."

"Oh you sooo don't wanna get me started on the time you tried to walk into the sun" I retorted giving him a playful look. "Or the time-"

"Angel's the source you've been talking about?" Buffy asked drawing us back to her. I nearly forgot she was there.

I nodded.

"One of them." I told her gently.

"And you didn't tell me?"

"It's the First Buffy." I said firmly. "The First Evil... and it's raising an army... We need all the help we can get... I've used up all the favors and good deeds I collected over the years... and talked to a few friends outside of Sunnydale... Not all of my friends can leave their homes to come here and help us fight a big bad thing... but they will do what they can to make sure their areas are prepared because if we don't stop it here... that's exactly where it's gonna go."

Buffy nodded thinking it through.

"Speaking of which I heard you got some things for me." I said turning to Angel.

"Right picked this up off Lilah." Angel told me holding up his folder. "I've got coverage on the whole thing. It's very gripping. It needs a third act."

"You have to leave L.A" Buffy said making a joke. "Your starting to talk all city like."

"Yeah well-" Angel started to say.

My ears picked up light footsteps, making my head turn glancing out of the corner of my eye. I spotted Caleb coming up behind us, he had a carved wooden idol in his hands like a club, coming to attack whoever was the closest to him... the closest being my mate... the back of my mate's head. My entire body went into protective mode.

My fangs clicked down, letting out a loud snarl and whipped around catching the stupid weapon in mid swing before he could do anything. I kicked the stupid preacher in the stomach making him fly backwards a few feet and landed on the floor, almost like a rag doll.
