wherever you are
you will always carry
truth of the scars
and the darkness of your faith



Angel sauntered into the bar, his thigh length black leather jacket barely making a whisper as he moved through the throng of people. His gaze was deep, dark, intense...almost black. It's what he exuded. Dark. Black. Death. Danger. Sex. His aura was a siren to every woman in the sultry club. Heat emanated from him in waves, though he was ice to the touch.

She was seated at the bar, as usual. He knew she'd come. Couldn't stay away. He could drown himself in her depths, lose himself in her eyes. Most importantly, he could forget.

Or so he told himself.

He stepped up to the counter without a sound, nodding to the tender for his usual. Always the same when he was with her. Kate. The name reverberated through his mind.

Her smile was easy as she turned to him, her blonde hair falling into her eyes. He knew he was smiling back at her, returning the favor. Always returning the favor. She nodded to the seat next to her, mindless of the predatory gleam in his eyes as he accepted.


slowly move on
how did we get to here
it all went wrong
gravity claiming all your tears


Her eyes stared up at the ceiling, empty...cold...unseeing...dead. The room was hot with sex though it was close to midnight and December. Midnight in December. Wasn't there something about that...? Her nails dug into his back as she blindy accepted the intrusion to her body.

Dull. Ache. Make the pain go away. Her body moved under his of its own volition, seeking its own release. Her hands slid over the muscles in his back, slimy to the touch. Slimy? Sweat. The sound of his body pounding into hers, his moans and groans and grunts, echoed in the dark room. His name...?

She could see the light of a streetlamp through the closed blinds on the window. Light...how long had it been since she'd seen the light? Dust swirled through the air, reminding her of where she was.

With a shout, he came inside of her, spilling his hot, sticky seed all over her. As he rolled off of her, she closed her legs. He lit up a cigarette and sat on the side of his matress, which was lying on the floor. Silence. Death. Silent cries? He stood up, mindless of his nudity, and announced he was going to take a shower if she wanted to join him.

Buffy remained on the dirty "bed". Her eyes stared up at the ceiling. Wide...unblinking...unseeing...dead.


everything looks
so much better now


Angel closed the passenger car door, sealing Kate in tight.


you will get yours
you have no right
to ask me now
you were never that around


Angel stepped from the bed and her sleeping body, silently moving to the bathroom. He turned on the water as hot as he could. Could it scald his flesh? Would the hot water melt his icy skin? He let the water run over him, watching as the tiny rivulets moved over his skin.

Nothing happened.

i have missed
reality daytrips and your
suit me suit me ways


He walked into the Angency, throwing a smile Cordelia and Doyle's way. Whistling softly, he stepped into his office and closed the door. The only sound in the room was the quiet "whoosh" as he settled into his cushy black leather chair. Client files were stacked on his desk. The phone was ringing. His desk calender had appointments scribbled in red filling every available space.

He sat.


turn out the light switch
we've been awake for days
and no one's coming round
here no more


She walked alone through the quad. It was overcast and the wind blew briskly through her long blonde hair. She clasped her books to her chest and stood still in the middle of the grounds.

People walked by, oblivious. They wore their bright winter outfits, their white smiles beaming, their trite voices singing out in the dim light of the afternoon. Laughter rang out through the air and they passed her by, oblivious.

She stood and watched the people. Friends. Her friends. Nowhere to be seen. Friends.


you will get yours
you have no right
to calm me down
you were never that around
i have missed


Her tires squealed on the pavement as she rounded the bend. All night. Driving. Searching. It would all come to an end soon. Black. Everything seemed black when you didn't care...weren't looking. Black was soothing. It seeped in without warning. It tore you apart. Black. Like the night. The night He belonged to.

Rain. Rain was good. Tempestous. Stormy. Lightning was good too. He smiled as Kate lounged on the bed, her arms curling around the pillows. She turned her head to watch the rain. His movements were stealthy and graceful as he approached her. Graceful, almost catlike. Sleek. Dangerous. Angel.

The muscles in his back danced and glistened in the dim candle light. She pulled him down with ease and they kissed. Long. Passionate. Hot. Dueling tongues. Tangled limbs.

Rain. The rain beat down, battering her body, though it could not touch her bruised heart. She heard the pattering sound as it hit the window. So soft. Lulling. Lying. Deceiving. Light glowed from the inside, spilling out to the sidewalk where she stood. Bodies. Heat. The room emanated a heat. Burning. Hell. Fire. Pain.

And still, the rain poured down upon her.


paint your perfect day
i don't mind this
i'm better off by the way
deeply grounded


Screams. Surprise. Laughter. Glee. Hatred. Blood. Hell. Fire. Pain. Buffy watched as Kate jumped up from the bed, clasping the sheet around her.

His eyes. Dark. Intense. As always. Confusion. Loud. Slayer. Bones. Crunch. Snap. Blood. She smiled, tossing the woman across the room.

Don't kill humans.

Don't kill humans.

Dont kill -

Crack. Blood. Pain. Fire. Hell. She watched emotionlessly as the woman slid down the wall, leaving a bloody trail. Her eyes...wide...unblinking...unseeing...dead.

Welcome to my world.

He held her arms behind her. Had he thought that would stop her? She kicked his feet out from under him, toppling them both to the ground. Heat. Hot. Wet. Blood.

She scratched him, drawing blood. He flung her back and heard her land, though he could not see her. As he stood, she ran forward, ramming him into the wall. Breaking a lamp. Shatter. Strong. Muscles. Soft. Curves. Emerald. Eyes. Life.

He punched her. She kneed him in the groin, dropping him to his knees. Backslap. His head flung back. Blood. On his lips.

He grabbed her legs and pulled her down. Sleek. Powerful. Strong. Slayer. She straddled him, her hands grasping the sides of his head as she pulled him close for a kiss.

Hot. Cold. Wet. Dry. Hard. Soft. Power. Heaven. Hell. Pain. Comfort. Home.

Animals. Tearing clothes. Moans. Screams. She tasted the blood on his lips. Ecstacy.

Tight. Hungry. Hot. Wet. Home.

They clawed at each other's skin, biting, licking, pinching, teasing, flicking, fucking, loving.


cold contagious


She stared into his eyes...

He stared into her eyes...

Heaven. Hell. Angel. Demon. Hot. Cold. Home.
