Killing is an art though and it would have to be special. It&#8217;d have to be a day when Wesley and the other members of Angel Investigations expect her to be all sunny-filled and light, where they expect her to bounce in on a high &#8211; and then be crushed when she doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I like to imagine the look on the Watcher&#8217;s face as he comes across her body. His ashen face as he sees the Seer laying face down in a pool of her own blood. But now isn&#8217;t the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Every night I come to her, her spirit is worn down a little more. I could break her completely. I could snap that spirit right in half if I wanted to. I find myself touching her softly, gently &#8211; so that she can try and fight the obvious arousal. I know who she sees me as. She sees him. My pathetic alter ego.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I think, had I had a bit more time, I would have broken the Slayer. Buffy. She would have been fun to break. It makes me wonder who&#8217;s the stronger of the two. Cordelia, occasionally, fights back with that fire in her eyes that I love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes. That fire in her eyes I love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;m a demon, certainly. People think we can&#8217;t feel, can&#8217;t see, can&#8217;t hear&#8230; But there&#8217;s nothing so beautiful as the sound of a crushing spirit between your fingertips, KNOWING that you were the one to wear her down that little bit more to the point where she snapped. Isn&#8217;t a sound like it in the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I think, perhaps, if Acathla hadn&#8217;t arrived when it did, I would have taken my time with Buffy. I&#8217;ve never actually killed a Slayer, from what I hear from Spike, the high is almost like a drug, addictive &#8211; reeling you in like a hook in the stomach (and I would know), capturing you, taunting and teasing until she takes that final breath in your arms. So yeah, I would have liked to have broken her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But for now, my sights are set on this beautiful, wilful brunette. Maybe she thinks that if she believes it&#8217;s him, it won&#8217;t be as hard. I proved her wrong last night. She called out his name, and as punishment, I hurt her in ways I don&#8217;t think she could have imagined.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And still, before I left, as she watched me leave by the window I came, she shot me a glare before going to shower. Get rid of the things I&#8217;d done to her? Probably. I imagine she&#8217;s still sore now. That makes me happy. It also means she won&#8217;t call his name tonight. See, tonight, I&#8217;ll play a different game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tonight, I&#8217;ll be gentle, loving and tender. All the things her Angel was &#8211; because at the point where she thinks I&#8217;m going to kill her, like she did last night, I can change tacks, be gentle&#8230; Assault her body with tender ministrations that will make her weep.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Never let someone believe that a demon can&#8217;t be gentle, or kind&#8230; We&#8217;ve just got to <i>want<\/i> to do it badly. Maybe, my being gentle will make his name slip from her lips but tonight, I won&#8217;t punish her, I&#8217;ll still be loving and kind, let her believe that her Angel has returned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And then tomorrow night? She&#8217;ll hurt in ways that only I can inflict upon her. Make her forget all about the tenderness of the night before, and why? Because I can. Because it&#8217;s fun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">See, the musings of a soulless vampire aren&#8217;t all that complicated really, are they? We break them, then we rejoice but the way I do it &#8211; it&#8217;s an art&#8230; And she knows this. For every time I touch her, she begs me to do it. Begs me to feed, snap her neck &#8211; kill her, let her join her Angel in Heaven. And that&#8217;s when I remind her&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She&#8217;s fucking a demon. The only place she&#8217;s going is Hell and unfortunately for her? The only face she&#8217;ll see when she gets there is mine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/goteamfiction.com\/index.php\/2015\/06\/30\/dreaming-of-you-3\/\">Part 3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part 2 Sometimes I wonder why I don&#8217;t just kill her.
