The Return
Town
He walked into the small town looking for Dominic. The town was larger than he remembered with more of a cosmopolitan feel. It was almost a city, which amazed him. He could feel Buffy walking behind him as he walked in the row of cafe's. He could feel her watching and feeling nervous about seeing this friend, no seeing a lover of Angelus'. The underlying emotion from her was a deep jealously.Angelus finally found him sitting in the last café's outer part, out on the sidewalk where he could watch both the café and the life in the town. Even after all these years, Dominic took his unneeded breath away.
A tall man at nearly 6 feet, he still reminded Angelus of the stories of the fey. He was a golden sandy blonde with long straight silken hair with mica tints, which blew in the wind and invited ones fingers to play with it. His body was long and sinewy which was a perfect compliment to his easygoing nature.
But what Angelus had loved most about Dominic was his eyes. They were wide spaced in his beautiful face, a deep hazel with golden flecks making him think of the fey of the lands of his birth. The overall package was one of sensuality with possession of self. Angelus shook his thoughts away. They were not appropriate for a bonded male, and if she felt them Buffy would kill him!
Angleus walked up and then made himself known to Dom. He sat without invitation at the table. "Good evening... long time no see."
Dominic had felt his old friend and looked up as he sat. He addressed him without missing a beat. "Hello Angelus."
Angelus smiled. "Hello Dom. What have you been up to?" He asked as if a hundred years could be covered in a casual café conversation.
Dom smiled. "The same as always; pissing the rest of the Pack off with my view of the world and my watching my pets. What about you?"
"If I told you, I doubt you would believe me Dom. Well lets just say, I have found out you were right, and leave it at that. Dom, I need you to leave tonight. Don't ask why, just leave and don't look back." Angelus spoke seriously and in a tone he knew that Dom would understand.
Dom was confused. Angleus had been gone over a hundred years and shows up to tell him this? "I believe most things Angelus, you should know that." He saw a woman young blonde woman watching Angelus and him closely and was more confused. "I never thought I would hear you say I was right."
"There is a first time for everything" Angelus felt her get closer. He turned and looked at her trying so hard not to be seen but looking at the vampire he was talking to. He rolled his eyes. He hung his head and motioned for her to come into them she might as well be with him since she looked so out of place she attracted attention anyway in this rustic place. *Dammit* "Buffy... get over here."
Dom chuckled. "You seem to have your own pet now..."
Buffy looked up and groaned and then slowly walked over to him. She could feel his irritation and anger. She had done what he didn't want her to do. Angel pulled her to him tucked her under his arm and looked at Dom. "Dominic, meet Buffy, my consort." Buffy was looking at him, nervous and a little scared of what Angelus would do later.
Dominic stared. "Consort? Angelus you have a HUMAN consort? I see you went a bit beyond pet eh?"
Angelus chuckled. "I told you wouldn't believe it. I have been a cold feeder since I left here." He took perverse pleasure in Dominic's jaw dropping.
Buffy found her voice. "It's a new thing, a lot of vamps have that reaction to it though." She put a hand on Angelus's shoulder, both seeking some comfort and showing her mark on him to Dominic. A move not lost on the other vampire who was used to subtle body messages. She was making it plain, Angelus was hers.
"I bet. Jeez Angelus, a human? Why Angelus? It isn't your style... I realize that something is up, I won't tell but I need to know." Dominic asked quietly.
Angelus shrugged and put his arm around her. "What we were saying? Oh yes, I need you to leave, go and don't look back." Buffy was staying silent letting Angelus deal. "I am going to exterminate the pack Dom, I want you safe and I want you out of there. You stay you'll die."
Dominic was amazed. He looked at Angelus and then at his consort a small frail looking girl. "Going soft on the humans now that you have a consort? I thought that was my job. How the hell do you plan to kill Antonia or Roger? You could never beat them together in a fight. They'll kill you before you get 10 ft in the catacombs. Unless you plan to pull The Slayer out of your ass... your dust."
Angelus chuckled. "That's the plan, so I won't be alone." Buffy was looking at Dominic with a small knowing smile as Angelus chuckled. Dominic looked at Buffy then his eyes got wide, he reached out with his senses: The SLAYER!
Dominic whistled his appreciation for Angelus balls or stupidity. He wasn't sure which. "I know you liked you women dangerous, but Angelus, your consort is the Slayer?"
Buffy saw recognition in his eyes. She reached a hand out to Dominic. "Hi I'm Buffy, glad to meet you. Somebody had to put up with him." He absent-mindedly shakes her hand as Angelus smiled.
Dominic shook her hand amazed at both the warmth and the fact he was touching a Slayer. "I know what you mean. I did it for 40 years. I wish you luck."
"Ohh I think I'm pretty much used to him. I got him right where I want him." Buffy chuckled. Dominic was nice, pleasant and nothing she expected. Angelus just growled at the two of them. He was getting irritated that his lover and past lover were bonding over their tolerating him.
Dominic nodded. "Angelus, I am willing to back you up... I owe you for what you did for me. Did he tell you what he did for me?" he asked Buffy suspecting he hadn't.
She shook her head no. "We need to get you out of here. No he didn't tell me but sometimes he doesn't tell me much., but I don't listen much either, so it works out." She grinned as she looked at Angleus.
"I had a pet. A human I followed and watched. She was a gypsy healer. She got into a magickal war with another witch and the witch threw a curse at her." he stopped in pain and Buffy glanced at him, then moved over and carefully sat on Angelus's lap allowing him the space to continue. "I don't know how her enemy knew I was watching her, or if she knew at all, but the hex drove me into a bloodlust, and I killed her and her entire family. Angelus knew it was more than I could bear, and so he took the blame. He let it be known HE killed her and her family, and let me off the hook. So he was the one they cursed."
Buffy stared. "YOU killed the gypsies family?" She looked at Angelus with understanding sinking in. "Angelus, you were innocent?"
Angelus shrugged. "No good deed goes unpunished, that’s for sure. I am a lot of things Buffy, innocent isn't one of them. No, I ironically, didn't do the killings that got me cursed."
Dominic sighed. "I killed the gypsy healer and her family of the tribe."
Buffy looked at Angelus. "The pack, they still don't know do they? She was trying to take it in as she leaned her head on his shoulder. "Did you know Dominic what the curse was?" She felt jealous thinking Angelus must have been really in love with Dom to make such a deed.
Angelus grimaced. "No and they won't. Dom already has more soul than most humans... cursing him with a soul would just make life rough, and be a study in futility. I didn't even tell him. I just left. I gathered some clothes and money and left."
Dominic looked sad. "You never even said goodbye."
"I had a reputation and an attitude with a big ego. I didn't care if the gypsies thought I killed their own. What could they do to me? It made me look tough to the other vampires, cause only the strongest messed with the gypsies. Dom was devastated he had hot hunted and killed his pets." Buffy nodded not completely believing him but letting it slide for now while he continued. "If the pack knew he hot hunted they would have undermined his attempts to get his bloodlust under control."
Dominic looked at Buffy. "What was the curse?"
Angel sighed. "They cursed me with my soul Dom. I got back my birth soul."
Dominic's mouth dropped. "Holy shit Angelus!"
"Like that irony? You never lost yours completely. Dom is a aberration Buffy, an imperfect vampire, who by our standards is faulty. The demon never completely evicted his soul. They two are always a war. Well Dom, I got the reverse problem. I have my soul as an overlay over the demon. In Dom's case, the soul usually wins until some witch throws a curse at him."
"So now you know Dom. I am now consort to the Slayer. We are bonded. Her battles are my battles and Antonia has unfortunately decided to go after the Gypsy tribe which is also the tribe of my watcher, and the tribe of Buffy's Watchers woman. This is making it damn personal. Antonia will be irrational and I know won't back down. We are going to go for extermination of the tribe. I want you gone... walk away now. Come back in 24 hours and take what you want" Buffy snuggled against Angelus feeling safe, knowing she was going to be in trouble for following him, but needed the contact knowing the battle that would follow.
Dominic watched her snuggle him. "God Angelus, only you would turn the Slayer into a consort. Shit. I thought you were insane for dangerous women with Diabolique... but this one takes the cake."
"Dom, knowing what you're like now. Even if you ever showed up in Sunnydale to say hi to Angelus you'll be a friend and safe." Buffy inserted. Curiosity burning in her who was Diabolique?
Dominic's jaw dropped. "You guys are at Sunnydale? The Hellmouth? Isn't that where..." He look s at Buffy his eyes wide... she is the one who killed the master?" Angelus nodded pride filing him or her prowess.
She smiled as she looked up at Angelus. " God people really focus on the master. Personally I thought Lothos was better. I'm only friendly when I choose. Karl found that out. I knew he wasn't going to say it but yeah we are... can give you his number if you like."
Dominic smiled at her not believing the Slayer was inviting him to visit his old lover.
"LOTHOS you killed Lothos? Friendly little thing isn't she?"Angelus laughed with the incongruity of it all. "Yeah she did... in her first month as slayer... with a pencil. Friendly, You have no idea"
Buffy chuckled. "We need to stay here I have absolutely no reputation here.."
Dominic laughed not believing he was TALKING to a Slayer. "I will leave or I can help you... what do you want?
Angel thought. "I planned for you to leave. You're a cold killer. It's not fair for you to stay for this. But if you want to stay, what we can do is leave you at base camp as back up in case they attack while we are going to the catacombs, to protect the women and children.
Buffy nodded happily. "That'll work great... you happy with that Dom?" she looked at Angel pain in her eyes. He winced seeing it coming. "I know you had a lover, Diabolique, but who is she, and how dangerous, like Dru? "
Dominic had no desire to be involved in this fight. "No problem... I'll meet you at the tree." He left with Angelus shooting him dirty looks.
"Diabolique was a vampire bitch that Darla knew. Darla "gave" me to her as a gift for the time of one year about 3 years after I was turned." He spoke quietly and very controlled.
"And you liked her... as a gift?" she was curious. Pain filled her how many lovers had he had?
"I didn't like her at all. In fact I eventually killed her." Buffy started with that. And he continued. "But for 6 months I was her slave. She was the dangerous scariest bitch I have ever met. Makes Dru look like the nun she was trying to be."
Buffy recoiled back away form the anger in him only to almost fall off his lap. She then instead snuggled close hiding her face in his chest. *Her slave?*
Angelus continued. "She was a cruel and inhuman creature that should never have crawled out of hell. Darla owed her for something, big time and she canceled Darla's obligation in exchange for 12 months of my "service"." Buffy could only whimper at the thought of the hell Angelus had gone though...
"You know that scar I have on my lower right abdomen? That was a gift from her. Do you have any idea what it takes to scar a vampire?" she could only shudder. "No it took me 60 years, but the payback was worth the wait. Lets leave it at that."
Buffy was nauseous with the thought, tears forming in her eyes as she his against him. "Angelus...please!"
"I promised you Buffy, no more lies, no more hidden things. You ask a question, you best be ready for the answer." She was still shuddering at what he must have gone through, feeling his emotions still unresolved after this time. The betrayals from Darla for giving him to her, anger hate rage at Diabolique for horrors he wouldn't think about. Guilt at his enjoyment of her death."
"Good God Angelus. No wonder you hate slaves. It tells me much more about you, about your anger, the things you did... how did you kill her?"
"Do you really want to know?" She led him close and nodded. "About 60 years after her treatment of me, I found where she was staying. I located her lair. Killed her sentries, and her enos. I fed on her minions, everyone. I glutted myself on the blood from the vampires she made, increasing my strength. Enos are human slaves to vampires. Also known as thralls: he explained when he saw her confusion at the term. "Then I took her one on one, I won. Then I gave her a payback. It lasted a week."
"I chained her and revisited every torture I remembered her doing to me, on her with interest. At the end, I drew and quartered her, and leaving her conscious, I staked her out for the sun. That was the last time anyone sought to dominate me. If anyone ever treated me or tortured me that way I'd kill them too and enjoy it." She could feel he was a mass of unresolved anger and rage. "Now can we go back and get on with this? I really have a hankering to kill something."
Buffy was still reeling with the onslaught of his emotions. "All right then tonight we can visit some other spots you know round here, and Angelus, sorry for following you."
He hugged her chuckling. "That's OK. I knew you would."
She pulled back to look at him. "Then why tell me not too?"
He laughed. "To jerk your chain."
