“We’d better
go inside”
“Yeah… you’d
better get some rest now but you have to leave in the morning, that’s when I
sleep”
“Oh, I know how
it feels living nocturnally, I’m in a band and my band mates insist on living
the rock n roll lifestyle, Party all night and sleep all day”
“Orgy?”
Angel said picking
up Paige’s T-shirt and handing it to him, it was a black long-sleeved shirt
with the red “Orgy” logo on the front and the words “Candyass 98” on the
back.
“Yup! 5 of the
most obnoxious Prima Donnas, divas and drama queens that ever existed and proud
to be one!”
“I’ll ask
around for your stuff, personally I’m not into rock music, or music
altogether”
“Oh, that’s
okay. Huh before I met Jay, the bands singer I didn’t know how to draw on my
own eye liner and to this day I still know no better!”
Angel smiled, for
what seemed like the 1st time this century. Its been to long since
he’s had a friend, like Spike but his friendship was tainted and now with the
darker forces gaining so much power now Angel couldn’t afford to risk it.
“What’s wrong
Angel?”
“Nothing”
“I can feel
something wrong”
Paige reached out
and touched Angel’s knee a shiver ran up his spine.
“Nothing”
Angel wasn’t
about to spill his blood just yet and to a stranger? It would be too dangerous.
Swallowing hard as he felt his fangs trying to poke through, he was hungry. He
suppressed his urges as he always did and flashed a glance at the small fridge
in the corner were he had some IV bags of blood there. This wasn’t going to
work if he could not control himself; he had to get rid of Paige before he did
something he’ll regret for eternity. Trying to convince him self to get rid of
Paige would have been easy if he weren’t hovering dangerously close to
Angel’s face staring him down with those intoxicatingly blue eyes.
Suddenly he felt
Paige’s lips make contact with his, tongue diving into his mouth and
surprisingly Angel let him enter.
Paige felt it
strange how… cold his mouth was but responding with his tongue rubbing
beautifully against his. Angel’s mouth was laced with the taste of blood,
sharp and metallic, his teeth were sharp against his lips but Paige could not
complain as he was over come by the tenderness of the kiss. Angel pulled away
from his mouth with his lips trembling and stood up and turned his back on him
feeling his face contort into its hellish vampire form.
“What’s
wrong?”
“I- I cant do
this Paige I just cant! I’m sorry but I can do anything with you.”
“Are you sick?
What’s wrong just tell me?”
Angel’s face
softened back to its human form as he felt Paiges’ loving embrace wrap around
him from behind and a small-bloodied tear run down his cheek. He whipped it away
and licked it off his finger before he turned to see the concern on the mortal
man’s face.
“I can’t tell
you why I can’t kiss you… or touch you in anyway”
“Why?"
“I might scare
you?”
“What? I just
survived being eaten by a huge rabid dog in Central Park in the middle of the
night! I’m not that easy to scare!”
“Believe me you
don’t want to know!”
“I’m tired of
being told what I don’t need to know! Just tell me Angel please!”
Angel snapped suddenly and pushed Paige onto the bed with animal force and his face twisted into his vampire form, fangs bared and mouth snarling angrily at his face. Paige slammed his eyes shut in shock with Angel’s actions, just like the creature that attacked him in the park. He realized what he had just done and pulled away sobbing, frightened at what he had just done, he knew that he was truly to be alone forever now. Angel felt so fucking pathetic and full of self-hatred at what he had just done he just wanted to leave now and hope the earth would open up and swallow him whole, again.
