Angel season 6
chapter 3. vampire training
Angel was in the lobby with the others when Spike and Bianca came through the door.
"Here Bit your remember good ol' Angelus dont you? Well both Angelus and I have souls like you do. And he goes by Angel and i of course go by Spike. But you dont have to call me spike since i know that you'll still call me Willy either way. Now do want to tell our friend about Drusilla?" Spike asked.
"NO." Bianca answered.
"Fine you chicken. Then i'll tell him bloody hell you make me feel old when your around. Alright Angel our girl Bianca here dusted our girl Dru. So yeah you hungry bit?" Spike asked.
Angel felt mixed feelings about that news.
"How was Bianca re-ensouled?" Angel asked curious. He remember only a little about Bianca the child Spike had turned and treated as his own daughter.
"I was cursed by a witch and no i'm not hungry I'm tired." Bianca said.
"Then go up and pick a room love." Spike said and bianca scurried upstairs to chose a room.
"Spike what do you think your doing inviting her to stay here?" Angel asked.
" She's a child Angel. A vampire child. Thats forbidden to turn a child. You know that. And now that she has her soul vamps will sence it and want to dust her. Sides you owe me. I didnt have to come back here with her to help with junior but i did. Speaking of junior." Spike said.
Angel turned in time to see Connor stirring. That was quick. Angel thought.
ANgel got close prepared to restrain him if neccesary.
"Connor." He called waiting for his reacton. Connor opened his eyes and sat up looked around the room briefly wondering why his dad had brought him here. He felt something on his kneck and his hand flew up to get it but instead his fingers touched puncture wounds and then it all came back to him. He had been dying and Angel. Angel. Oh god Angel had turned him. He looked at his dad afraid and unsure of how he should feel.
"How could you do this to me I'm your son! I dont want to be a vampire. I dont want to eat people. I dont want to drink blood!" Connor yelled at his father.
Angel realized two things at that point. What his son had just said and what it meant.
"I dont want to eat people." Connor had said. But a souless new born vampire wouldnt have said that. Because a souless vampire wouldnt have cared. They would have woken up and wanted human blood. Feeding on the first mortal they saw.
Only a vampire with a soul would make such a statement. Angel sniffed Connor.
A SOUL! Connor had kept his soul. But how?
"Spike come over here and smell him." Angel said.
Spike came over and sniffed.
"What's wrong Angel? Wesley asked.
Spike starred in wonder
"I dont know how you managed that one junior but for some strange reason you still have your soul." Spike said to Connor.
Both Connor and the other's in the room dropped his jaw.
"Its impossible." Gunn said confussed. It went against everything he knew about vampires.
"Yeah well two vamps having a kid isnt suppose to happen either." Spike said.
"No offense but it kinda makes sence to me." Fred said.
"What?" Angel asked outraged as to how any of this could make sence.
Everyone looked at her.
"Okay you have to explain that one to us bit. What part of any of this makes sense?" Spike asked.
"Well think about it. Thats how he came into this world right. Sharring his soul with a vampire for nine months. So since he shared his soul with Darla maybe his soul is just unique. His soul is able to be inside a vampire and so Connor kept his soul when Angel turned him." Fred said.
"Well its a possibility. Lets not worry about the fact that he has a soul. that's a good thing. And Connor needs to feed since he is awake now. Which also shouldnt have happened so soon. Come on into my office son." Angel said heading into his office with Connor and Spike following.
Connor wasnt so sure about this feeding thing. he really didnt want to drink probably tasted horrible anyways.
Angel microwaved some blood in a cup and put it in front of Connor on the desk.
Then sat himself behind the desk where there was a pile of paper work.
"The first time is the hardest Connor. Just dont think about it and drink it. And even though you have a soul you will thirst for human blood at first but you'll learn to fight the cravings and settle for animal blood." Angel said and then started looking through the papers.
Connor sat there and starred at the cup for all of two minutes before Spike spoke up.
"Shesh Connor Stop starring at it and drink it. Not like its gonna turn into a pig and start complaining."
"It might." Connnor said. He'd seen wierder things happen.
Angel put his pen down sat up and looked at his son.
"Connor you have about one minute before that blood turns Cold. I suggest you drink it before that happens because your really not gonna like cold weather its warm or cold your still gonna drink it. What your not gonna do is sit there all night and stare at it." Angel scolded and informed all in the same sentense.
"What happens if I dont drink it?" Connor asked curiously.
"Ok. This is the part where i need to be really clear. So pay i'm only gonna say this once. Your a vampire now. That means you have to drink blood. Thats just how its gonna be from now on. Face it and then get over it. But do it quickly because if you keep up this attitude i'm gonna play the bastard sire all over your bare backside is that clear enough for you?" Angel lectured and threatened.
Connor sat down in the chair feeling nervous now. Angel had never layed a hand on him. Well except for that once when he had sunk Angel to the bottom of the ocean for one month. Wesely had saved him and brought him back and then Angel had worn him out with a switch. It had stung so bad that he had been crying and screamind long before Angel was done with him. Gunn had left because he had gotten tired of hearing it. And Fred had been crying because she felt Angel was being too harsh on Connor. After that Connor had straightened his act up. Finally allowing himself to believe that yes his father did love him.
Connor came back from the flashback and thought about what his father had just said.
He picked up the cut and took a small sip while Angel and Spike watched.
Then made a face and put the cup down vowing to never touch it again. Yuck it was just as bad as he thought it would be.
"Come on little nipper. Make daddy and uncle Spike happy and drink your blood." Spike pleaded trying to keep the peace.
"No it's gross. And cold. It tastes horrible. And i just dont want it." Connor said.
"If you had drank it while it was still warm like i told you to you wouldnt have that problem. You have four more minutes to finish that and then i go out a cut a switch and ware your backside out. And dont think it wont hurt cause your a vampire. You being a vampire just means that i can't break you if i use all my strenghth." Angel informed him.
"I dont want that to happen." Connor said nervously.
"I dont want it to happen either Connor but you have to learn to listen to me when it comes to vampire stuff. You have two more minutes." Angel added.
Connor made a choice he quickly picked the cup up and downed the whole thing in one swallow trying his best not to taste it.
"Oh for heaven sakes Connor its not that damn bad." Angel scolded as he grabbed the glass away from him and put it aside. Then added "Next time your getting your backside blistered." Angel said.
"Good show mate. I smell and oscar for junior here. Imajine vampire with a soul and still giving you all this trouble. And this is only the first meal. Make sure i'm around for round two." Spike said with a smirk.
"Knock it off Spike. And we arent doing another round of this because Connor is gonna do as i tell you to do arent you son?" Angel said.
"Yes. But i dont have to like it." Connor complained.
"I dont care if you like it. As long as your drinking it. You'll get used to the taste of blood Connor it just takes time. And there are some ground rules and if you break these rules you wont get a second chance I will blister your ass. No excusses. The rules are as follows.
1. You are not to go outside by yourself at all. You will have me by your side no matter what your going outside for. That is for your safety and the safety of others.
2. You will drink blood when i give it to you. You will not give me a hard time about it because it is not that big of a deal and i will not fight with you about it.
3. You will do as i tell you about to do. Again that is for your own safety and the safety of others.
4. There is another vampire here and she has a soul you are to be nice to her and she will be told to be nice to you. There isnt going to be any fighting between you two.
since i know you so well there will also be no sneaking out or you will have hell to pay.
6. you are not to lie to anyone about anything. i know you havent lied in a while but I'm still making sure that you know your not to do it.
7. last but not the least and the most important thing is that you will not physically fight with me or anyone else living here.
Now have i made myself perfectly clear?" Angel asked.
"Yes sir." Connor said.
"Good." Angel said.
to be continued.
