I couldn't believe this was happening. I know, color me retarded! I should have known. Everybody warned me. Faith and her kids and Josh, they all told me it was stupid to hang out with Angelus and I knew that it was. I knew it but I just kept playing with fire anyway just to see how far I could go before I got burned. I guess I finally found out. Suddenly I wished that Josh would just show up like he does, but then I was afraid that he would get hurt and realized that would be bad.
I had no idea what I'd just given Lexi but if it was anything close to what he'd dosed me up with I knew she'd be in big trouble. I landed hard on the concrete and instead of scrambling to take the gag out of my mouth, I fumbled around in my pocket for my cellphone. I needed to call Faith and warn her about Lexi. I needed to.... I didn't make it very far before my wrist was crushed in his hand and my phone was being yanked away from me. I cried a little bit and the sound of it was muffled before I pulled the gag out of my mouth so that it hung around my neck and my hair loosely as I looked back up at him.
"We had a deal." I reminded him as I looked down at my skinned knees. My dress was completely ruined and the heels were only going to be a problem because I was going to have to run away and very quickly. I hissed out at his hands closed around my arms and pulled me roughly to my feet. "We had a deal!" I yelled at him this time, flailing out wildly but his grip was like iron and there was no breaking free from it.
Oh God, I'm going to die. I'm going to die because I thought I would be safer if I befriended a vampire slayer. I know, funny right? I was gasping for air as I looked around the parking garage. The parking garage. Who the hell takes their date to a parking garage? I guess only if you want to kill them. A sob caught in my throat as I bowed my head for a minute, watching the patterns in the cement beneath my feet distort.
Not only had he not stayed away from Faith's kids, but he'd made me be the one to shoot her with whatever that stuff was. I closed my eyes but it only lasted for a minute before I felt his hand on my chin and I was forced to look back up at him.
