[locked to Claire]

[deep_red_bells]

So let me get this straight. Number one, you're sick, sick enough that you called Cain about it, but didn't say a word to me. Number two, you got attacked, again, and Annie knows, and I have to find out what happened from her.

Am I missing anything else? Or should I go ask somebody else, maybe Hank, since nobody bothers to tell me a fucking thing anymore?

...I was on my way there when I was attacked.

Reschedule and let me come with you? Spike and Amelia will be here tomorrow, and he can help Annie with the vampire situation.

Bee, he saw me heal. He bit me, pulled back and watched me heal.

I think they knew I would.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

......WHAT?!!!!!

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

AND YOU WAITED UNTIL NOW TO TELL ME THIS?!!!

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

I'M TELLING YOU NOW!

I took Annie home after the attack and then went to the townhouse. I showered, then I went into my room to get my phone....and I fell asleep as soon as I laid down.

I wasn't hiding it!

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

You're my go to person! Why would I hide it and not tell you?

YOU'D KICK MY ASS WORSE THAN THEY CAN!

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!!!

Fuck. FUCK. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. This is of the not good. Fuck.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

....Okay, but only punching, okay?

No. The guy said he would see me again.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

You go nowhere alone until this is sorted out. Am I clear?

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

I'm at the townhouse right now.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I mean it, Claire. You're not a Slayer.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

I know, Bee, I was just telling you where I was.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I can hear eyerolls and huffy sighs from miles away, kid. Miles.

Just stay put. As soon as Annie gets off her stupid information withholding ass and calls me back, we'll meet up with you and figure all this out.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

Sorry...just don't beat me too much, kay?

Bee, please be careful. I couldn't stand it if something happened to you or Beanie.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Well beating you up wouldn't do much good anyway, so I think I'll just force you to curl up on the couch and watch bad movies with me. I mean really bad movies, Claire. From Justin to Kelly level bad.

It's gonna be fine. We're gonna be fine. I'm gonna let Spike and Annie do the heavy lifting. I'll just help with the bookwork and make sure you don't get bored from being locked up as much as possible.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

That's dirty pool, Bee. Seriously. I guess I deserve bad movies but Justin to Kelly? Really?

Wow, fun birthday sounds fun. Can I help with bookwork too?

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...Gigli, then?

...I'm trying to protect you, you know, but I'm not that much of a bitch. Sure. I warn you, some of those codex are pretty gruesome.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

...I'm not sure which is worse.

Bee, I love you. You're not being a bitch at all. That's okay. Figure I might as well help since I'm causing trouble.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Well I'm not sitting through Ishtar again. Not unless you want me to slit my wrists.

What I meant was, you can do whatever the hell you want for your birthday, except go wander the streets alone. That better? You're not causing trouble, honey. Trouble just found you, so we gotta go kick trouble's sorry ass.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

I'd really rather not. Sark would hurt me if I didn't hurt myself.

I'd rather just spend time with our family. Well, let's make it a spectacular ass kicking.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Hm...how about a Gilmore Girls marathon instead?

Whatever you wanna do, kiddo, so long as there are no dark alleyways involved. If you'd rather Hiro have you under lock and key, and feel free to take that as dirty as you want, then go for it. Damn skippy.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

I like the Gilmore Girls.

You can take shifts? He has to work sometimes and I'll need someone to watch me. Hurrah.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

*tsk* This is meant to be punishment, of course.

You'll have to get Annie or someone else who's not useless in a fight to leave the house. Good, we have a plan then.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

I can promise to pout through it all.

Pretty much everyone is good in a fight. Sounds good.
