[daralynnw]

She whimpered softly and Angel growled at her as she had tried to move back. She immediately stopped in her tracks. She felt her heart pounding beneath her rib cage. She felt her body go heavy as she just sat there looking at the wolf in wonder.

What was she suppose to do, she had no chance against him. Angel was her best friend, someone she has also loved for a while now. How could he do this to her so suddenly, she should've just waited until tomorrow to confront of him, but she had felt so much guilt. She shivered softly and watched as Angel soon lunged at her full force. She cried out softly and a tear fell from her eye, she had stared directly into his fierce yellow eyes and saw Angel, her Angel for just one second. Soon pain shredded through her body like lightening through a tree, her limps felt numb in most areas as she screamed out. Angel's fangs dug into her neck and she whimpered, pushing at him to get off her. "Angel! No.. s-stop! Angel!!" She cried for him to stop but soon he thrashed his head around violently, and everything went black.

She couldn't believe everything that was going on. Did he truly just kill her? Was she dead, her body felt like ice, she wasn't conscious but yet she felt arms lift her into the air and then a soft breeze skate over her face. She heard doors slamming and then finally something soft beneath her. It felt like heaven to her body, but she couldn't make anything out what was going on? She heard some fumbling, but she was blind. She couldn't see anything just could hear and slightly feel things. 'A-angel...?' She spoke out softly, but she couldn't even hear herself.

Soon she felt a pinch against her neck each one a little stronger than the next. Soon she was able to open her eyes and tears fell as soon as she was able to recognize everything. Angel stood over her and she just wanted to to hide her face in his chest and just be held by him. She didn't care if he had just attacked her, she didn't care if he was a werewolf. All she knew is that she could push through like he did, as long as she could stay with him for forever. "Oh, A-angelus.. I'm so sorry, so very sorry. I can't even explain to you how sorry I am, but I.. lo---- I really really care for you and I don't want anything to part us." She let the tears just fall from her eyes as she stared up at him, really unable to move, but she would hope he would soon bring her up into his arms. She wanted to sleep with in them tonight and wake up with in them as well. "Angel I really want us, to work out. You have no idea."

She reached up with one hand and caressed his cheek softly. She wanted to tell him, that she loved him, but she didn't want to scare him away. God, Daralynn had no idea what to do, but she wasn't going to lose Angel, she refused to do so.

[THE REBELS]

Angel felt like such an ass for what he had done. He didn't want to hurt her, but if she hadn't have ran, he wouldn't have chased her. He should have kept it all a secret and then none of this would have happened. He wouldn't have bit her, or nearly killed her, and she wouldn't be laying on his bed in a fit of tears and sadness.

"Oh,A-angelus.. I'm so sorry, so very sorry. I can't even explain to you how sorry I am, but I.. lo---- I really really care for you and I don't want anything to part us." He calmingly gave her a shhhh. Letting his hand roll over her hair atop her head, wishing he could have taken his actions back.

"No...no i'm sorry, what I did was aweful and I shouldn't have pushed it on you." Now his own tear ducts were beginning to well up. He had just hurt his best friend, but he knew that she would truly forgive him one day.

He slid over to her other side, free of where the sutures were. Needle, thread and bottle of alcohol resting on the nightstand. The alcohol smell was still there. Even she could smell it then. Her wound wasn't fully cleaned of blood, some had dried up where it was too late to get it because it was too close to the wound. But it had been cleaned to prevent infection.

The sutures had been near perfect, but that gash would heal over time and all that would be left was a nearly visible scar. Angel laid beside her, his arm wrapping around her waist and holding her close to him as his head nuzzled against her own near the curve of her neck. She wasn't laying on the wound, but he knew if she had turned a certain way, or he applied a bit too much pressure, then she would feel the pain surge through her.

"Angel I really want us, to work out. You have no idea." His eyes closed at that note. She hadn't completely given up hope on them. Not yet. "Dara.....I didn't mean to.....I just wanted you to......" His words breaking. His heart broke by what he had done. Never in his life had he changed someone into what he was. What he was was different than most werewolves, and no one, absolutely no one had seen the worst of him just yet.

Now his concern was not only soothing her through this ordeal and fixing the mess he made, but he had to teach her. Show her the ways of a werewolf. How to feed. She had to have some lingering lust for human blood. Hell, he had. But to each his own, or in this case, her own.

"I promise...for as long as we both live....I will never hurt you again." He spoke softly in her ear with the faintest of whispering, letting his eyes soften to a close. He heard her heart beating. It was stronger than he expected. A good thing. "You should get some rest. In a couple of days the moon will be full over England and there is much to teach you before you make your first transformation." Oh geez. It was like being a teacher, and hell, even he didn't like school as much as he should have.

[daralynnw]

She felt her strong and warm arms wrap around her waist and she smiled. She was glad he was being himself again. "Dara.....Ididn'tmean to.....I just wanted you to......" He spoke, but it seemed even he was having trouble trying to figure out what to say or how to say it. She smiled softly and just leaned into him. She would care for him no matter what, so him trying to explain was pointless in the fact that she didn't care about his actions, just his reasons. "I understand completely Angel, I really do."

She snuggled back into his arms and slowly closed her eyes. She was very tired due to the blood lose, and it was just hard for her to keep her eyes open. She smiled and let her eyes close as she laid there in his arms. His voice came to her ear once more, "I promise...for as long as we both live....I will never hurt you again." She smiled softly and caressed her thumb over the top of his hands. "I know Angel, there is no need to worry anymore."

She smiled once again and calmed her body down so she could finally rest. But with everything she would have to learn, that did kind of swarm her mind with difficult things. "Youshouldget some rest. In a couple of days the moon will be full over England and there is much to teach you before you make your first transformation." She had already mostly fallen asleep by the time he said that, her body limp against his. But she had heard most of what he had last said, and it was fine with her, she just hoped it didn't hurt too much.

[THE REBELS]

There was a sudden calm in Angel at Dara's words. She had truly loved him enough to stay, not be mad at him, and lay there with him through the night. At first it had seemed awkward, like, she would take off in the middle of the night. It didn't matter, he would be able to find her anywhere she had went. Sense her. They had a bond now that would be stronger than when they were separate in their own skin.

Still he could taste her in his mouth and he figured he should have brushed. But the taste of blood was something that he would never forget.

He held her through the night. Eyes closed, dreaming of things no one single human could ever dream about. At first it had been the nightmare of what had just happened, and it woke him in a sweat in the middle of the night. Picking himself up off the bed to go take a leak and grab a glass of water. His head was pounding, not much of a hangover but the Tylenol would help in a few minutes.

There was a moment when he stood over the kitchen sink just to look out the window. Daylight would be a few hours away but he had to go lay back down. The night had taken a toll on his body, and he didn't want her to wake up alone, so he moved back to the bedroom, moving over to her side of the bed to see how her sutures were. She had turned somehow in his arms and he wanted to make sure she didn't tear them. When it was fine, he went to his side and slid in beside her, sighing as he laid his head down on his arm, his right hand moving over her abdomen then around her waist before he let his eyes fall to a close. The morning would make for a better day.

[daralynnw]

She sighed softly and fidgeted a little because she felt him leave her side. She wondered what was on his mind, because she knew it had to be something. She never once opened her eyes but just listened to his movements and where he was going. First he had gone to the restroom, like all men did, it was like they all had super small bladders or something. Then he had moved from their room, but she couldn't pin point where, it wasn't like she was a wolf yet.

Soon she heard the water running and figured he was getting himself a glass of water. As he fiddled around she opened her eyes and just looked around the room, she didn't move around though, she just stared out at the window she had once escaped through.

She couldn't help but wonder what it was going to be like. Would her whole life change? Would she change herself, her personality, the way she dressed and looked and etc?

She moved her hand up to the stitching on her neck and winced slightly. A flashback of what happened ripped through her mind like a bullet through flesh. It was horrible, she didn't even think Angel was capable of attacking someone so viciously, but maybe it was how all werewolves were? She could only hope that she could defeat that part in herself, because she wanted to avoid violence, it was never her strong suit.

Angel had moved back into the room and immediately she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. He moved over to her and had checked the sutures and so on and then moved back around to his side. Warmth consumed her form as she felt him move in behind her and hold her in his arms. She didn't want the closeness they had to change for the worse, only for the better. She really liked Angel and she was afraid she might mess up and ruin it, but she was going to try her hardest not to.

That boy, was getting to her, but she no longer minded and she wasn't going to hide her feelings away any more either. He meant something, he meant almost everything to her and seeing him upset, hurt, mad, angry and so on, was not going to work for her. Daralynn was making it a goal at this very moment to make Angel happy what ever the cost.

Finally after she knew he was staying close with her, she let her lips part, "Thank you Angel, for caring about me. I'm going to try and make you as happy as possible." She spoke softly to him as she moved her hand to his interlocking their fingers. She really liked him, and she was glad that she could admit that to herself and to others.

[THE REBELS]

"Thank you Angel, for caring about me. I'm going to try and make you as happy as possible." He smiled softly with a soft humm in the center of his throat. Locking fingers with her own and relishing in everything that was Daralynn.

He moved as close as he could to her, letting his body engulf her own, taking in her scent and enjoying it while it still lasted. Soon her scent would change with her original scent still locked inside. "No.....I will make you happy. From now on it's you and me." He gripped her hand a little more for assurance. "Forever." Forever was a long time if they made it to old age, but he couldn't see himself spending the rest of his life with anyone but Dara.

Angel was truly in love with this woman. They hadn't even been together on an intimate level, which was the main reason why he had loved her. He had gotten to know her rather than screw her like his other women in the past. She was his best friend in the whole wide world, and had there been something slightly sexual between them up until now, he may not have the same respect for her as he did now.

"We will go out for breakfast yeah?" Spoken low still as if he were going to fade back into a dream scape. "I'm in the mood for bagels and an omelet." A smile chilled over his lips at the thought of hot coffee and the smell of it brewing. "What do you say?"

[daralynnw]

Daralynn felt good, besides the neck wound, but otherwise she felt pretty good. She turned into Angel's arms as he began to speak. "No.....I will make you happy. From now on it's you and me." She smiled and blushed softly as she just looked up into his eyes, god he was gorgeous and now he was all hers. This felt right, for once in Dara's life something felt right and it sent chills down her spine. "Forever," the fateful word slipped from Angel's soft caring lips and she couldn't help but stare up at him. It felt like ages before she could rip her eyes from his, he was her drug, her addiction.

She knew that he was hungry because during the night it had be growling when she would be up. Her own stomach had been growling as well, but with the thrashing that had taken place on his neck, she thought it best she didn't go out. Then Angel spoke up about breakfast, just perfect timing. "We will go out for breakfast yeah?" She took his hand in hers as she saw him close his eyes, like he was about to fall asleep again. "I'm in the mood for bagels and an omelet." She giggled, it did sound good, well the bagels did the omelet did not. She brushed her hand across his cheek softly and replied in a gentle tone. "That sounds wonderful." She didn't know exactly what to say, but she would get him to stay home or go get ingredients so she could make him his omelet and coffee. "What do you say?"

She slowly sat up and moved from his arms, only to turn around and face him sitting indian style. "Because of my neck and such, it might be bad for me to go outside." She didn't want him to feel bad, so she did her best to make it sound better. "Plus, I'd rather make you one of my omelets and I'll brew you up some coffee." She smiled and leaned down kissing his cheek, she hoped he liked her idea better. She smiled at him gently and waited to see what his answer would be. She just wanted to make him happy and he wanted to make her happy, so who knew this could work out perfectly; she sure hoped it would.

She wondered now, what there lives would be like. how they would be around each other now. Would they be the perfect couple? Or would they have a lot of fights and arguments? Hopefully since she would now be a wolf, it wouldn't be violent, when they got into a fight. She didn't even want to get into fights so hopefully, they'd be perfect, no arguments, no fights, just caring and living with one another. But that was almost impossible for any couple, she knew that, not even her parents had a perfect relationship and she thought they were both perfect for each other. Who knew? No one knows how life is going to go, until they face it and she was ready to do that, with Angel by her side.

[THE REBELS]

"Because of my neck and such, it might be bad for me to go outside." That was true, he figured a turtleneck would do her some justice, but if she didn't feel like going out, he wasn't going to make her do something that she didn't want. "Plus, I'd rather make you one of my omelets and I'll brew you up some coffee." A smile emerged at the thought. Her coffee was better than that store coffee in a cup.

Angel let out a small relaxing moan. "That does sound nice. I'll grab some bagel's from Barneys then." He knew what she liked, the cream cheese, he knew almost everything about her just because they were so tight. So close and for so long. The longest he had been friends with anyone. So now, it was only presumed that they would be together as more than friends.



Morning broke loose and his eyes, being rubbed now as he yawned awake and felt the sheets over his form. He looked over at his precious Dara, features that made any man smile had now been comforted to him and he couldn't help but love her more. She always did look beautiful in the morning.

He leaned over and kissed her cheek like the softest lips made from clouds touching skin that seemed too delicate for words. Moving from the bed to rip on a pair of jeans. He could wear one of his gray shirts with the open collar, slip on a pair of kicks and make his way down to Barney's. By the time he would come back he was sure the smell of coffee would already be wafting through the apartment building.

He had come back with all sorts of bagels. Some Lox, some chive, plain cream cheese. Everyone deserved options. The key slipped in the hold and the door opened. Pushing through to place the bags on the counter. He even grabbed some fresh orange juice because he knew there hadn't been any. Angel just couldn't eat a cheese omelet without a tall glass of O.J.

A kiss was planted to her cheek after coming up behind her, she looked sexy wearing one of his shirts. He didn't expect that. Especially now more than ever. Hands slipped around her waist, taking in the scent of her cooking. It was a simple omelet sure, but it was better than any restaurant. "Smells delish." Another kiss on the neck that hadn't been hurt.

Angel moved away, tending to the bagels. "How's your neck feeling?" Wondering if she had taken any pills for it, or relishing in the pain that he gave her. He wasn't sure since he had been gone for nearly a half an hour.

[daralynnw]

As he got dressed she decided she would go take a shower. She placed a towel over her stitches and got undressed and moved into the shower. She heard him leave and sighed in content as she let the warm water grace her aching body. She smiled as she finally got out of the shower and dried off.

She moved into the bedroom and looked around, she could just put on her old pjs they were dirty and bloody and she had just cleaned herself. She moved over to one of his dressers and pulled out a shirt of his then went over to a special drawer in which she had kept some of her clothes over here. She placed on a pair of girl boxers and then moved out into the kitchen.

Daralynn moved through the refrigerator and grabbed all the stuff she needed to make an omelet. She then moved over and started to make coffee, she put her normal cinnamon and vanilla mixture in it, that Angel didn't know about and started to get it heated and made up. The smell moved throughout the flat and she smiled, drifting into the ecstasy of the aroma. She started pouring all the ingredients into the sizzling pan. She smiled and started to stir and grind them into each other making sure it didn't look retarded or anything.

She heard the door open and she smiled, Angel was home and she could smell the freshly baked bagels move with him through the door. He had brought different kinds, but she just felt like a plain bagel with some cream cheese, it sounded lovely. Soft lips pressed against her cheek and she couldn't help but smile as she looked over at him and then back at his omelet as she moved it around in the pan. Soon after his strong arms had wrapped around her petite waist and his lips came down near her ear, "Smells Delish." She laughed softly and shook her head as she flipped it over in a perfect bundle. What Angel did next made her body shiver, his lips had pressed against her neck in sweet serenity. She groaned softly and let her body relax, before she flipped the omelet again.

After a moment he left her and started working on the bagels. "How's your neck feeling?" She touched her neck tenderly and shrugged, "It's doing ok. Oh also I want plain with cream cheese." She spoke softly and then turned off the stove as she flipped the omelet onto a plate right next to her. "Omelets ready, Angel." Her hips popped from side to side as she grabbed the plate and started to move towards the table, bringing two cups along with her. She then walked back past him grabbing the coffee pot and bringing it to the table as well. "Angel, you ready?" She looked over at him, wondering if he was having trouble with the bagels or something.

[THE REBELS]

Angel liked that he could make Dara feel better. Make her smile and not have to worry anymore about surprising her with his secret. He also took note to the way she responded to his more sensual movements. "It's doing ok. Oh also I want plain with cream cheese." Of course she did. He had known that since they had first went to Barney's. Having a variety was just something he needed so his mind wouldn't be sidetracked. It would bother him all day if he had not gotten a few different kinds.

Think of them later and wish he had gotten it. Already he was spreading on the cream cheese on both of theirs after it had popped out of the toaster. "Omeletsready, Angel." He couldn't wait to get his hands all over that. "Bagel's are ready." He said as he looked in her direction, taking note of the way she walked. How she looked. How she smelled was blocked by the scent of food, and gawd knew Angel was hungry.

Angel had placed the bagels on two separate plates, moving to the cabinet and grabbing two glasses and pouring some O.J. in them. "Angel, you ready?" Damn he wanted to bite that bagel it smelled and looked so good. "Yup....Coming now Dara love." As if they were already a couple with a day planned and all they had to do was get through breakfast. He would have to check her sutures since she had taken a shower. Even if she had repatched it he had to make sure.

Angel took a seat at the table. Their glasses placed down first before he put the bagels down. Looking at the omelet before him, damn it looked good. Angel leaned over and kissed her on the lips briefly. "Thank you." He released from his lips, picking up a fork and ready to make the omelet disappear before their very eyes.

Angel had a ginormous appetite. He could eat for days and not get entirely full, and his weight stayed the same. One day, he knew, it would catch up with him. "So..." He started before he drained half his glass of orange juice. "What do you want to do today?" The choice was her's. All they had to do was talk, but they could at least have a bit of fun while they did it. It was still the weekend after all.

[daralynnw]

All she could do was smile at him as he started chowing down on the omelet she had made him. While he did so she had started taking her fill of her bagel, bite by tiny bite. She didn't eat fast never did, and Angel always fibbed at her for it.

"So..." Angel had broke the silence with as he had then gulped down his full mouthful. She laughed softly and shook her head, her dear wolf boy was such a silly one. "What do you want to do today?" She stopped eating her bagel and took a sip of OJ, before pouring both of them a cup of coffee. "Well if you haven't forgotten I'm not that decisive. So you can chose something, I'm really up for anything." She spoke softly as she then took another few bites of her bagel and then finished up her glass of OJ.

She wondered what he would pick for a date for them. She was always curious and never had Angel always figured out, she would think one thing and he would do something completely different. Maybe he was changing things around so she could no longer read him like she used to. She couldn't help but finish off her first half of a bagel and then move over and peck his lips quickly, smushing cream cheese over his lips. She leaned back and laughed at his expression, it was priceless at first. She had wish she had taken a picture, but never the less she wiped her mouth and then took a nice long sip from her coffee and sighed in relaxation.

She yawned softly there afterwards, realizing she was still tired, her body ached from the events of last night and she wondered what it would be like to, be a werewolf. Would things hurt as badly as they did now, would she be smarter or dumber, faster, stronger, leaning, more in shape? What? What would this change do for her, would it make her better or worse and through it all would Angel.. still love her in the end?

[THE REBELS]

"Well if you haven't forgotten I'm not that decisive. So you can chose something, I'm really up for anything." Angel sat back as he held a mouthful of bagel, and the last little triangle of omelet mushed together in his mouth. Angel just liked combining things together because for some reason he could have the best of both worlds at the same time. Sort of like what he had been doing for a good while now.

His hands folded together and he rested them on his belly as he watched her eat and drink down some O.J. He let those green eyes gaze over into her orbs, trying not to laugh as he chewed. Then she had did it. Leaned over and gave his lips a smack after having taken cream cheese to her own lips. Now he had her's on his. Dara sat back and laughed at him, causing Angel to laugh and cover his mouth. Damn her for that.

Finally he mustered up the courage to swallow hard and take a large dosage of vitamin c. At least they were a smidgen done with breakfast, so Angel wiped his hands and face with the napkin by his plate and let it fall on top, standing and moving the chair out from neath him only to grab up Dara by the hands and force her forward in playful banter.

One arm swayed around her waist, his shirt hiking up just slightly as he danced with her in the open of the living room behind the couch. The windows were there, full length and they were visible to the couple next door who were still probably sleeping away lazily in bed.

"It's.....A....beautiful day in the neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor...would you be mind,
Could you be mine? Won't you be.....my neighbor."

He sang in mockery of Mr. Rogers. He wanted to toss in a ruddy and sodding and wanker in there, but Dara's ears were always well taken care of when it came to his language, even though she had a pretty rotten mouth at times.

"How about some showers....and I'll take you somewhere special?" She would have to dress comfortably. No sandals of course, boots, maybe sneakers. Yes, definitely. Oh the ideas swimming in his head. They could talk forever where he wanted to go, and he could teach her about who she was about to become.

[daralynnw]

She smiled lovingly at Angel, as she couldn't help but laugh at his dorky ways. She watched as he wiped his mouth of cream cheese and finished his mouth full of food. She couldn't believe he could fit all the stuff he did, into his mouth, but some how he managed. She smiled at him leaning her elbows onto the table where she then rested her head in her hands. She just watched him, he was so cute and handsome all at the same time, and he was all hers. She believed that, they could actually make their relationship work especially now, since there were no secrets between them.

She had been so distracted by her thoughts that she didn't even realize Angel get up and move towards her, he grabbed her and pulled her up, and she gave out a startled gasp, since she wasn't ready for any quick movements. She then blushed when she looked up at Angel, he was amazing in so many different funny ways, she couldn't even put her finger on them.

She felt his arms wrap around her waist as he slowly started to dance with her, in the open area of the living room, near the windows. She heard him start to sing and laughed as she put her head to his chest and smiled softly. He was her dork, that's all she could say for now.. and what he said true, it was a beautiful in the neighborhood. She looked out the windows as they danced by them, the sun was out, but there were clouds in sight and there was a soft breeze and a gorgeous blue sky. The day was perfect and she was glad she was getting to spend it with Angel.

She could tell Angel wanted to cuss a few times during the little song, but he didn't probably because he was trying to be a 'good' boy in front of her. "How about some showers....and I'll take you somewhere special?" She smiled up at him and nodded, because the shower sounded good, but because of her neck she wasn't sure if she could do one on her own, with out messing something up.

She just stared up at him for a moment and then blushed softly knowing she would have to ask him anyway. "Do you think you could help me.. since my neck and all?" She spoke out softly looking up at him embarrassed in a way. She knew he would most likely agree and then he could also help her get dressed, she didn't wish to reopen her wounds and she had a feeling Angel would feel even worse if she did.
