A/N: I know, it's very scary... I've updated...
OK This chapter is bad, and when I say bad I mean bad, It's kind of jerky or it doesn't fit together or something... I'm not really sure... But I've decided to post it anyway.
I've decided that if I get at least 5 reviews for this chapter then I am going to re-write/edit the entire story as I wrote it when I first started fanfiction, and then when I've gone through all that and made sure it all fits together better then I will continue it all.
So if you want me to continue then you have to review, simple as that. Even if your review is one word long, just let me know you're reading it, I have no other way of telling...
I also want to be very cheeky and ask all of you for a favour. I go on a website called neopets, it's a virtual pet site, however there are loads of chat boards, and one of the major features of it is guilds. these are like clubs you can create and people of similar interests can join. I am planning on setting a Buffy one up, however I need somemore np (neopets currency) to do so. Neopets has a referal system and the more people you sign up to the site the more np you gain.
I was hoping some of you would be kind enough to go to the link below, sign up quicly for an account and then activate it... I would really appreciate it. And if you do activate your account and then neomail (it's a type of e-mail) me and you can request a new chapter for any of my stories and I will put it top priority and try VERY hard to get it up as soon as possible for you .

And yes, I'm aware the a/n is probably longer than the actual chapter.. but oh well...on with the story...
Quicker than anyone realised Angelus spun around whilst holding Chloe and the stake embedded itself in her shoulder. Angelus let go of his make-shift shield and Buffy watched in horror as Chloe fell to the ground clutching her shoulder in agony. Angelus' head spun around to see Buffy still crouched on the roof of a building opposite and he motioned for her to come down.
Knowing she had no choice Buffy leapt down from the room and walked cautiously towards Angelus and her group of friends, trying to ignore the smirk on Spike's face.
"Nice work, luv"
"Shut up Spike" Spike turned in shock at the order from his sire, who was looking more stony faced than usual, however he smartly obeyed the order from Angelus and shut his mouth.
"So Buff... seems like you're in a bit of a situation now doesn't it?"
Buffy glanced around at her friends who were still staring in shock at the whimpering figure on the floor.
"What do you want?"
"Quite a bit actually, however this conversation has nothing to do with what I want, it's about what you want. Now you can take your little friends here and run as fast as those short slayer legs can take you, or you can hang around, trying to fight us while Chloe here bleads to death, it's your choice really, it's all up to you"
Buffy gave Angelus a look that could kill before relaxing her fighting stance and looking him directly in the eye as a signal that she had given in. Seeing the recognition in her eyes Angelus allowed a smirk to grace his lips.
"I knew you'd see it my way" With that he turned around and without a backwards glance at the group of Slayerettes, or Chloe, he left the scene with Spike following closely behind him.
Xander was the first to move, he knelt down beside Chloe and with a quick movement he pulled the stake out of her shoulder causing Chloe to let out a scream and then slump unconcious on top of him. He quickly paused to send a short glare in Buffy's direction before picking Chloe up, they needed to get her to a hospital and quick.
Chloe awoke and as her eyes drifted open a large glare of white light came to her eyes. It took her a few moments to adjust to the light but as soon as she had she realised where she was and froze.
A nurse walked through the door and gave her a brief explanation of why she was here and that the people that had brought her in had had to go at leaving time but would be back tommorrow. The nurse went on like that for some time and Chloe switched off before saying that they had managed to contact her father.
She immediatley knew something was wrong, her parents were there and even if they were she doubted they would actually bother coming to visit her. Just what had happened dawned on her a moment before 'Daddy' walked through the door along with some other supposed relative.
The nurse walked out the door blushing slightly after being given a smile from the girl's handsome father and closed the door behind them.
"Hello Chloe"
"What are you doing here?" She hissed as soon as she was sure the nurse was out of earshot.
"A fine way to greet your father"
"You're not my father"
"And you're no fun" A slight pout appeared on Angelus' face and Chloe's lips couldn't help but twitch and as soon as they did the pout turned back into its usual smirk.
Chloe was just about to shoot back a remark when the door opened to show the nurse again who was this time holding a rather large needle and Chloe's body stiffened, there wasn't a chance in hell she would let that thing come within a meter of her.
"We just need to take a small blood test from your daughter if that's ok Mr. Aurilius"
Angelus gave a curt nod slightly annoyed at the fact he had been interupted and then his eys fixed suddenly on Chloe, her heartbeat had practically doubled in fear, and the object of the fear appeared to be the needle. He gave a quick glance to his left and saw that Spike appeared to have noticed the same thing.
He made a snap decision and asked the nurse to come back in 10 minutes, thicening his Irish brogue with his request and she agreed to come back after she had visited the other patients on the ward. Angelus' gaze flicekd back to Chloe after the nurse had left the room for the second time.
"Talk. Now"
"I just... I don't like needles"
"I managed to get that part, now I want a better explanation or I'll call the lovley nurse back in her and personally hold you down while she sticks that thing in your arm"
"I can't really give a better explanation... I just..."Chloe closed here eyes for a minute and took several deep breaths before focussing back on Angelus again, "There is a reason why I don't like needles, but I would prefer if I don't have to tell you why, things have happened before that haven't given me the best of experiences with them and..." Chloe trailed off and hoped Angelus wasn't going to push it any further.
"I won't get you out of the blood test unless you tell me exactly why you are scared of them... However I'll play the good little father and hold you and make it better if you agree to something else"
"What?"
"You tell me something about yourself, or something that means a lot to you, connected with your past"
Angelus waited patiently for Chloe to balance out the pros and cons for several minutes before she gave him a nod and the nurse came back into the room again.
Angelus sat down onto the bed and held her in his arms, noticing for the first time just how fragile she seemed to be. She burined her head into his neck and he whispered soothing sounds into her ears as the needle went into her arm and she started shaking and tears began to flow.
Chloe woke up several hours later, still in Angelus' arms and quickly remembered everything that had happened.
"How we feeling?" Angelus' voice came from above her head and she couldn't help leaning into the hand that was stroking her hair.
She knew Angelus wasn't holding and looking after her because he cared about her, and she didn't care about that, he was doing it for his own gain and she had agreed to it. He wasn't pushing her which in itself seemed strange but she wasn't complaining, instead she had to think of something she could tell him that would satisfy him.
"I'm not asking for your life story Chloe, but something that would make it worth my while for looking after you"
"If you have a gory story, that could be quite interesting"
Chloe noticed for the first time that Spike was still in the room and she sent a quick glare his way before looking back at Angelus. She decided what she wanted to tell him.
Reaching over to the clothes she had been wearing before being staked she grabbed her purse out of the bag and took out a photo.
"This is Tom, my brother"
The story that followed managed to explain a hell of a lot more than Angelus had been expecting.
