(You know... The usual.)
Chapter 10, Lilah
Angelus paced the large length of their bedroom as he tried Buffy's cell over and over again."Hey, leave me your name number or whatever and I'll a, get back to you!" Her voicemail spoke.
When he heard the door open and close, he let out a relieved "Thank god!" He went out into the living room to see that it was not Buffy who entered. It was Lilah Morgan. Trained werewolf hunter.
He stopped dead in his tracks as he saw her."Hello Angelus. I heard you were shacking up in here with a bitch from a colony that wasn't yours." Lilah sifted around, picking up random porcelain dolls and animals strewn across the living room. Buffy had brought them from home, she claimed that it would always be a little peace in which she can carry from home. Lilah stopped and held up a small porcelain deer and rabbit cuddling together,"Cute." She gently placed it back down onto the end table and crossed her scarred hands to rest in front of her as she made herself comfortable on his and Buffy's black leather couch.
"What do you want?" Angelus questioned curiously. His posture had changed into one of a relaxed man. But, on the inside, he was queasy with fear. He had come up against Lilah time and time again, and had barely made it out alive each time. It seemed the more fights he had with her, the less the odds were in his favor.
"C'mon, Angelus... We're like old pals, and that's what you say to me?" Lilah lifted her scarred hands to trace the large scar strewn across her face like a checkpoint. The longer end reached up into her hair, onto her temple. As it came down to her cheek bone-the line was fatter-, it swooned in to make a hook. The shorter end touched right at the base of her right nostril, opposite from the larger line. She smirked gingerly,"I believe you gave me this very scar, Angelus." Her right hand touched the top of her left hand she traced tiny claw-like marks across her hand,"And these." He left hand moved to touch her right hand,"And these."
"Listen Lilah, I'd love to chit-chat, but I am very busy. Id very much appreciate if you would-"
"Leave?" Lilah finished saucily with a slight smirk marring her deformed features. She had no eyebrows, due to the other scars he'd left her with in his battles with her. Her left eye was nearly closing, due to other damage wolves had cause her. Her lips were a pale pink, cracked and bloody, from dehydration. Her brown hair was cut just like a boys would be cut. You probably wouldn't be able to tell she was a girl if it was for her softer features."I know where your baby's momma is, Angelus." Lilah said mysteriously.
Angelus suddenly grew anxious and curled his fingers into his palm, to where the crescent shaped dents from his nails on his palms were pooling with the red liquid of his blood,"Where is she?!" He asked threateningly, his brown eyes narrowed on hers.
Lilah giggled playfully as she stood, pulling a silver bullet out of her khaki shorts and playing with it between her ashy fingers,"I never pegged you as impatient, Angelus."
"Yeah, well, things change in a year, Lilah." He spat back, anxious to know where his mate was.
Lilah feigned hurt,"It's been over a year, my dear boy... Please tell me you hadn't forgotten. That would just break my heart." She stopped like she was considering something."Alright, I don't have one." Next thing he knew, he was knocked out and being dragged out of the sanctuary of his and Buffy's home by the insane hunter.
