Never Will You Be Alone
Chapter Seventeen-The Guide
Connor was waiting in the living room for Dawn to get out of the shower when Angel walked into it. For a moment, they awkwardly stared at one another.
"I was just, uh, we're going portalling for a demon tonight. I was wondering if you wanted to come.." Connor felt mild amusement as he looked up at his father stumbling over his words. "Dawn could stay here and hang out with Cordelia and Harmony."
"No way. I'm going with." Dawn said as she walked back into the living room, towel drying her long hair. "There's no way I'm missing out." Angel smiled at the regular Summers girl answer.
"Never one to miss out on the action." Angel muttered much to Connor's amusement. 'So much like Buffy...' Angel thought with a small shake of his head. 'But yet...so different.'
"Alright," Connor spoke. Angel looked at him. "I'm going then." The teenager smirked over at his girlfriend. "If only to keep you from getting kidnapped or something. It's Tuesday you know." Dawn huffed and smacked his arm.
"Should have never told you that..." She grumbled. Angel raised his eyebrows while Connor laughed at his girlfriend's pouty expression. "It's just a concidence honestly!" A still confused Angel simply shook his head and dismissed the matter.
"We're going to leave out at ten tonight." Angel called back as he left the teens to their defenses.
"Awesome, no curfew." He overhead. A small chuckled rose from his throat. 'Definately Buffy's sister..' He thought as he entered his office.
"So is Dawn going to hang with us or go with you guys?" Cordelia asked from her seat on the black leather couch.
"She's going with us." Angel smiled as cordelia snapped her fingers.
"Darn, I was looking forward to someone new to shop with!" Angel laughed. "What?" Cordelia asked, afronted. "It's not like I'm awful to shop with!"
"No you just run us ragged." Fred interjected as she stepped into Angel's office. "Here's what I found on the demon last night. It's not looking very good..." Fred seated herself on the edge of Angel's desk and talked while he read the file. "The only way to kill this type of demon and ensure that it remains dead with by taking off it's head." Angel raised an eyebrow. "Here's where it gets sticky though. It had posion scales coating its arms and legs as well as it's neck."
"Does Gunn know about this?" Angel asked, cursing himself for nearly adding Wesley. Fred nodded.
"He was kind of there when I researched it," she admitted. "I think the kids should know about it too...seeing as they're still going."
"Oh no, they aren't!" Angel protested. Cordelia stood from the couch with a wide stretch and looked at Angel. The vampire gulped lightly as he recongized the look on her face.
"Connor is quick enough to avoid any attack and Dawn is fast enough to side step. I think they'll be fine." Cordelia snarked. "Telling them not to go will only make them want to go more." Fred attempted to supress a grin as Angel bowed his head slightly.
'Putty meet Angel.' Fred thought. 'You'll get along just fine.'
Never Will You Be Alone
"Good thing he's on our side then," Xander finally spoke, breaking the silence. Everyone else couldn't help but agree. Buffy sighed and sank onto the couch next to Tara and Willow.
"Yeah, but that's not what bothers me." Buffy rubbed her temples. "Dawn is only staying the summer with him. What happens when school starts? She'll have to come back here. They'll be miles apart."
"Hopefully, Angel will be willing to step up to the plate then." Every eye turned to Spike in confusion. The blonde vampire sighed. "How do you think Peaches knew to call you when Dawn showed up in LA? How do you think he even knew she was missing?"
"You called." Buffy realized. Spike nodded.
"He told me that the Oracles spoke to him the night Dawn disappeared as well. They said 'She will be his anchor, but you will be his guide.' Angel is to guide him through the separation, I think." Everyone stared at Spike. All wore various expression of shock. Spike huffed. "What? I have a brain, ya know....bloody wankers.."
