Buffy: Original Sinner Part 3.



"Locus." With the word, a light filled the alley way. A tiny sparkling mote of light. It hovered in the air spun in a large circle then the light guttered and died.

"Tara, I don't think it's gonna w**k. If it was it would've worked the first two times you tried the locater spell." Tara looked mournfully at Xander, hearing his words, as they wrenched at her heart.

"I don't know what else to try. I have to find her. I promised, we'd never be apart again. He stole her. I have to find her, somehow." Tara's anguished eyes filled with tears as she spoke.

"Willow." The shout came from the end of the alley way. All eyes turned to the direction it had come from, to see Buffy hurtling down the alley, a look of panic, almost a mirror of Tara's expression, etched on her face. "Where is she? What happened?"

"Something attacked us Buff. It took Willow." Faith said, looking wistful and crestfallen.

"What kind of something? We have to find her."

"You can't." Buffy turned around to look at the source of the voice. Pike had followed her. "She's gone. She's not anywhere near here now."

"Then where is she?" Tara advanced menacingly on Pike. "I said, where is she?"

"Better answer boy. You're facing a man hatin' woman lovin' machine here." Faith spoke in a low menacing voice.

Pike just laughed at the threats. "Oh, that's just classic Summers. You've got a vampire lesbian witch helping you out here, a one eyed man, a blonde dumb-ass, and, a, I don't even know what you are. Trailer trash?"

In an instant, Faith was on him, ready to do some damage, "Trailer trash huh?"

"Wait a minute, blonde dumb ass? Did he mean me?" That's just not nice. Xander, go and hit him. Don't worry, Faith has him pinned. he insulted me. You're mean." Before anyone could move, Anya followed up on her words by stalking over to where Pike lay, pinned to the ground, and she kicked him. Hard, somewhere that it's not nice to kick a man. Pike let out a loud yelp. "Jerk" was all that Anya could think to add right then.

"Go Anya." Faith uttered, under her breath, still with a snarl on her lips. "That's a start for you buddy, now I'll finish it."

"Let him go." Faith turned her eyes to Tara, "He may know where Willow is. We have to find out, if he doesn't know, or doesn't tell us, then you can hurt him, I may even help." As Tara let her anger control her, her features morphed into those of a vampire, twisted and toothy.

"OK, OK. I don't know exactly where she is, but I can give you an idea of where she might be. That good enough for you?" Pike looked pleadingly into Buffy's unresponsive eyes.

"Well, that'll depend on how Tara feels after you tell us what you know. Fair enough Tara?" Buffy looked up at her friend, unfazed by the vampiric features, underneath it all Tara's light shone through. Tara nodded as her features returned to normal. "So spill it Pike. What do you know?"


A hotel some 12 blocks from the alley.

"So where did Willow get the money to pay for this hotel again?"

"She asked mother Earth to apply a few hundred newtons of pressure to a couple of lumps of coal, turning them into diamonds. How many more times do you need that explained to you?"

"Wow, I need to make friends with this mother Earth. I swear, I'll recycle everything from now on." Spike patted the ground of the hotel room as he spoke.

"Yeah, a few seconds of flattery and kindness are all you've ever been able to offer a woman Spike." The other figure retorted.

Spike's nostrils flared as he stood and lunged at the other man in the room "Now you listen here Angel. I've had just about enough of you trying to put me down...."

"And I've had enough of you calling me 'Angel' That name means nothing to me now. My name is, and always has been, Liam."



In the dark, a figure stirred. It opened it's eyes, it's eyes tried desperately to adjust to the darkness around it. Even given it's preternatural nocturnal abilities, it found itself unable to see far beyond its own form. "Hello." It called.

"Hello." Another voice mimicked from the darkness.

"Who's there?" The blind thing asked of the dark.

"Don't you know? Can't you see? Oh poor little you, you're all alone in the dark room with the scary voice. Are you scared little thing?" The voice seemed closer, but still out of range either to see it, or to make a grab for it.

"I was scared once you know. But someone made me all better. Do you know who that was? Do you even know who you are? I know who you are."

"Of course I know who I am. I'm..." It's voice trailed off as it struggled with it's memories, wracking it's mind for a name, for even a clue as to who it was. "Who am I? Why can't I remember?"

"You can't remember because of the bad people, they hurt you, they changed you, made you something unclean, they made you bad. But now I'm going to change you back." The darkness parted slightly and it saw the owner of the voice as she sat down next to it. "I'm going to save you daddy." Drusilla said. Angel sat agog in the dark.....

Is Pike evil? Or is he just playing some kind of game?

I think he's playing a game. It's probably not chess, more like.....Charades. :ph43r:

or just a really mean pike

Hey, I just took the Pike character out of the movie, and ran with it.

Though, I think I probably recast the role in my head :lmao:
