I sat on the wall of the graveyard, listening to the sounds of the city. I had the strangest feeling that actually patrolling the graveyard would be like invading Maya, Doc and the groups territory. I didnt feel like one of the group.
And with good reason.
I had died to them.
Sure i'd returned, but as a different person.
And of course, part of me resented that... but only a small part.
It wouldn't be long now- soon enough the attack would come, and petty differences would mean nothing. Our past would not get in the way anymore.
I sighed deeply, annoyed. I had expected to come, deliever the message, and get the hell out again- i had my own responsibilities now. But when i had checked in, i was instead told that i should remain in LA, as a sort of liason. I'd argued it for literally hours, but they insisted- i must stay.

Well, i decided. I would just have to deal with it. I would keep everything very strictly bussiness, and spend as little time with Doc possible- the bloody puppy-dog eyes were really starting to get on my nerves. Maybe i should get him a girlfriend? Then he'd get over me. Thats how...
Oh dear.
No,
I would just have to ensure that i avoided him at every possible opportunity.

"Don't you usually patrol inside the graveyards?" I remarked. Charlotte nearly fell of the wall.
"How long have you been there?" she demanded. I shrugged.
"Not sure," I said. "Thought you were leaving."

I glared at him,
"I was." I snapped, "but T... my collegues back in England said i should stay for the fight. As a sorta liason. So i'm stuck here."
"Is that really all so bad?" Doc asked, taking a step towards me.
"Damn it Doc!" I cried- i was in a pretty bad mood as it was, and now that he'd managed to sneak up on me without me even noticing.... breaking point. "I dont wanna be here! And we are over. I figured taking a header off your balcony woulda clued you into that!"

I stiffened. The anger in her voice...
"You blame me, don't you?"

I frowned, shocked,
"What?"
He didn't say anything, just looking at me with such regret and guilt.
"I... Why would you think that?" I said, finding the words hard to say. " Thats not even what this is about, doc..." I shook my head angrily. "I didn't blame you for anything." I snapped, "Any of you! As far as you knew i had killed Maya's child! You had every right to hate me and yet you stil tried to prove me innocent. I dont blame you. I did what i did because it had to be done. I dont belong here!"

"That is what you believe," I said, begining to walk into the graveyard. "Why don't you ask around? See how we were after your 'death'. See how much you really 'don't belong'."

"People missing me doesnt make me belong." I said bitterly as he walked off. I followed, annoyed now, and absolutely not letting him leave thinking he had something over me. "You lot- you're heroes. Supernatural abilities, or wicked skills... me- sure i can habdle myself, but i was never part of the little slayerettes family. You and Jessy, and May and Josh" i shook my head, "I never would be."
"You were jealous!?" He exclaimed.
"No!" I snapped, genuinely, "Of course i bloody wasn't! I just knew, as a fact, that i would never break into that. And i knew, after what happened, that being here just endangered everyone- being anywhere endangered people around me." I shook my head, "And maybe it's no different now, in England, but at least there i have a purpose- im needed. Here... Here i was no more than a sidekick."I laughed bitterly, "Here i was the heroes girlfriend."

"The hero's girlfriend?" The laugh I gave was without humour. "I'm the last one you should be calling a 'hero'. And that surprise party wasn't for me."

"Oh quit it with the modesty bull shit!!" I cried, "You know damn well that you hold that group together! You're father, big brother, leader, amourer... so dont fob me off with that crap! And the party- Maya's sweet, and you were my boyfriend." I shook my head, "Just drop it, ok? We do the whole big fight, and I'm outta here."

"Fine," I said. "If that's how you feel, I'm not going to argue. Just do as I asked in the first place. I think you'll find we did more than just missed you," before she could say anymore, I walked off. I needed to kill something.

He walked away from me!? I gritted my teeth in anger- how did i never notice how infuriating this guys was before!?
"HEY!" I yelled after him. "Dont brush me off like that!" I snapped, catching up faster than he expected. "If you have something to say, just bloody say it! Tell me what it is you want from me, Doc. Huh? What the fuck do you want!?"
For a moment he looked furious, glaring at me, but his expression softened, dropping into something close to despair. He reached out to me, taking my hands before i could stop him.
"You." He said quietly. "Damn it Charlie... what i want is you."
At first i couldn't move- i couldnt even think. Me? He just...? I cycled through a range of emotions so quickly- through astonishment, disbelief, anger, coming eventually to bitter acceptance. I pulled one hand away, and i saw the pain flashe momentarily in his eyes, but a wry grin met my lip, and grabbing the front of his shirt, and pulling him forwards into a rough kiss.
Well if thats what he wants...
((OOook- say right away if this is going too far too quick, or u woulnt have had him say that or anything like that, cos i will totally get rid of it or change it or whatever, i know it went pretty quick, but you know how it is when ideas start flowing! So yeah, just say and i'll change it.
If not, then this shud be interesting. lol ;D ))

(((Actually, this kind of fits in with a frew ideas I'm playing with. One in particular you already know about. ;D)))
Well, this wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but if she wanted to be forward like this, who was i to complain?
My left hand, flung out, dusting the vamp behind me before wrapping around her waist. I'd missed this. I'd missed her. I'd felt dead since she'd jumped. I just hoped she could tell the council where to shove it when this was over.

I walked into the graveyard, saw what was going on, went to heaven and back, and walked out again. "Mal, tell everyone noone is to go to the Jefferson Graveyard tonight."
"Ok Jessy," came the AI's reply. "But may I ask why?"
"Doc is healing" I replied.

I grinned into the kiss as another followed, and another. My other hand hooked round the back of his neck as his held me almost desperately. I could see a crypt out of the corner of my eye, and steered him towards it, though we didnt part. We stumbled through the rusty door and into the cool gloom...
