This is my first "Angel" fanfiction. Sadly to say, I don't own the characters. Set before Fred dies.

Angel and Spike were in a fight with a gang of young vampires. Fred, Wesley, and Gunn were also in the fight, but Angel had lost sight of them a while ago.

"Well this is bloody fun," Spike said to him, as he got slammed to the ground again. "Would you stop doing that?"

"Look, another one has showed up to play," the head vampire said, as he turned to face a shoulder length, brown hair girl with green eyes. The girl looked somewhat familiar to Angel. "The more the merrier."

"I don't think this you're going to be having much fun, mate," Spike said, as he jumped in and staked the vampire in the heart. "Being that you tend to talk a lot."

"Angel, behind you," Fred yelled, causing him to spin to miss the ax, bymereinches. Angel quickly picked up the ax and decapitated the vampire.

Spike looked up to see the girl was gone. "Ah, bloody hell, where did the lass go?" he asked, as Wesley and Gunn came up to them. "Did you chaps see where she went?"

"What girl?" Wesley asked, as they looked around.

"She was just there. She was watching us fight. Why would she have been watching us fight?"

"Maybe she's learning how you guys fight," Gunn put in. "And she's going to go tell her master all about it." At the word Master, both Spike and Angel's heads came up. Each had either heard of or known the Master who had been trapped in Sunnydale. Both knew that he was dead, Buffy had killed him. "What?"

"It's nothing," Angel said, as he went over to pick up his dropped sword. "But I'm pretty sure that we're going to be seeing her again."

"Let's get back and see if we can't track her down," Wesley suggested. "Might be our only way to find out who she is."

"I think I know her," Angel said, as they headed for their vehicles.

"What do you mean, mate?" Spike asked, as he came up next to Angel's side. "Like you've come across her before. Like you fought her before."

"No, I don't think I've fought her before." Angel then ran a hand through his hair. "I know her from somewhere, but I can't place it."

"I kinda know what you mean, mate." Spike then stopped short and placed his hand on a mark in the wall. "Whoever it was, she's strong."

"We'll find her."

The girl from the fight, walked into a dark bar, known for having vampires as regulars. "What can I do for you?" the bartender asked, as she came up to the bar.

"I need some info on some Vampires," she said, after she ordered a bottle of water.

"What can we do for you, darling," a rough voice called out, and she turned to see a pair of vampires come up to her side. They were dressed in all black and looked not much older than she did.

"i'm looking for two vampires." She took a drink of her water, as the vampires came close to her.

"We are them," they said with a fanged smiles.

"No, you're not." She then another drink of her water. "The ones I'm looking for are William the Bloody and Angelus. Have you heard of them?"

"They're legends, nothing more."

"So you have heard of them. What else can you do?"

"We can make you into one of us, if you desire."

"I think I'm going to pass on that." She then blocked their blows and threw them to the ground. "What makes you think that you can take me on?"

"You're just a girl."

"No." Her face then morphed into that of a vampire. "I'm not." She grabbed one by the throat and pulled him off the floor. "I haven't been a normal girl for some time now." The vampire soon found himself flying out the window behind him. "And I don't really desire to become one again." Sheshot the bartender a sympathetic smile as her face morphed back into her human one. "Sorry about the window." She pulled out a stack of bills and tossed it to him. "That should cover it." Then she slipped out into the dark of the night.

"Who the heck was that?" the remaining vampire asked the bartender as he slowly got to his feet. "How can she take us down? We're older than she is."

"I don't know, man," the bartender said, as he shot a glance at the window. "But you and your buddy need to get. I wouldn't want to be here if that girl comes back." The vampire went and got his buddy. They then sulked off to tend to their wounds. The bartender picked up the phone and dialed a number. "I need to talk to Angel. It's very important."

"This is Angel," he said over the phone.

"This is Mike down at The Karma, someone's been asking about you."

"I'll be right there." The phone line went dead.

"Nice place," Spike said to Angel as they entered The Karma. "Smells like blood and old moldy socks."

"Nice combination, isn't it," the bartender said as he came up to them. "Name's Mike."

"Spike." They shook hands before Spike noticed the missing window. "Had some fun without us?"

"I wish. Some girl came in asking about Angelus and William the Bloody. Two new vamps tried to turn her only to find out that she's all ready a vamp and she threw one of them through the window. She gave me money to replace the window and walked out."

"She asked for info about Angelus?" Spike asked, as he shot Angel a look. "And William the Bloody?"

"Yeah. Seemed really strange and all."

"What did this lass look like?"

"5'8, thin, strong, shoulder-length brown hair, and bright green eyes."

"Sounds like the lass who watched us fight before."

"Sounds about right," Angel said, as he handed Mike some money. "Thanks for the tip." He and Spike left The Karma and headed for his car, only to have an arrow hit his tire. They spun around to face the girl. "And there she is."

"Hello, Angelus," she said, as she readied her bow again and took aim. "Hello, William."
