This is set in the fifth season of Angel and I've tried to keep the character the same but I also wanted them to react differently to the new character who I own myself. I do not own Angel/Buffy or any of the characters besides Robyn and Melody, if I did, I would be the happiest girl on earth. R.I.P Andy Hallett, you were a beautiful soul 3 Please review and enjoy =)

xXx Chapter One xXx
Blood. Thick crimson liquid trailed slowly down the man's chin. His skin was pale as snow, his forehead distorted and wrinkly and his eyes a glowing amber yellow. He licked his lips hungrily and grinned evilly at the small blonde girl watching him, gripping a sharp wooden stake. An inhuman growl emitted from the back of this throat as he lunged at the girl who quickly took her stance. A thick fog quickly gathered, hiding the man and girl and parted just as fast. The girl was lying on the ground in a pool of blood, staring unblinkingly into the distance with her head twisted in an impossible matter. Her blonde hair tainted a rich red.
A bloody tear ran down her face, staining her cheek red and her chest lay unmoving and saturated in her own blood where her own stake was shoved deep into her chest. The blood was slowly moving away from her body, spreading out into a strange symbol covered in ancient runes. The symbol began to hum and lit up like a ray of sunlight, illuminating the alleyway, expelling shadows. The light engulfed the girl's body and she slowly stood up, moving like a puppet on strings. She raised her hands to her head and snapped it back into place with a loud CRACK.

Robyn's eyes flashed open and her scream pierced the air as she suddenly sat up in her bed. Her dark green eyes shot around her small room fearfully, scanning the emptiness for some sort of threat. She let out a sigh and ran her hand through her tangles of auburn red hair. 'Just another nightmare…' she thought to herself as a black cat with brilliant blue eyes jumped up onto her bed. "Isn't that right Melody? Just a nightmare." The cat meowed and rubbed up against her arm.
Robyn looked at the time and sighed. '8 am. It's time to get up anyway, no point even trying.' She swung her long legs off the bed and stood up, stretching her stiff body and looked into her full-length mirror. Her reflection stared back at her with tousled red hair, sleepy green eyes and rumpled worn pyjamas. She lifted her hands to her hair to feel the knots and bumps and groaned loudly. 'Gotta have a shower before the interview.' She mentally said as she picked up her towel hanging off the back of her chair at her desk. The blue CD player on the desk caught her eye and with a cheeky smile, she quickly turned it on and a happy upbeat song began to play.
"Oh! Ohhhh yeah! I used to think maybe you loved me now baby I'm sure And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door" she sung loudly as she strutted into the bathroom. "Now every time I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down" Robyn turned on the shower and quickly showered singing along to the song, forgetting about the nightmare she had just had. "I'm walking on sunshine, wooah! I'm walking on sunshine, woooah and don't it feel good! Hey! Yeah!" She got out not long after the song ended and quickly dried herself. She wrapped the towel around her curvy figure and walked over to her small wardrobe. Dramatically, she threw open the doors and flipped through the clothes, thinking about the impression she wanted to make to her possible employer.
"Hmm… What do ya think Melody?" she pulled out a dark blue knee length short sleeve dress with white lacy edges and held it against her body. "Cute and innocent?" Melody meowed lazily and curled up on the end of the bed, keeping one amused blue eye open to watch Robyn. "Mm… Yes, a little too cute and innocent…" she looked at it again puzzled this time. "How on earth did I even get it?" She chuckled and hanged it back up.
Robyn shuffled through her clothes, stopping every now and again to look at something but nothing really caught her attention until she saw something pink sticking out from between her faded jeans and her leather jacket. She pulled it out and gasped. "Perfect!" she exclaimed. Robyn quickly pulled on her outfit, pulled her hair back into a professional bun with a few pieces of hair loose and looked back into her mirror. Looking back at her was an extremely professional looking woman wearing a pale pink button up shirt folded up at the elbow tucked into a tight knee-length black business skirt at her waist. 'Professional and fearless. All I need is a pair of glasses and I'll look the part.' She thought with a slightly bitter tone to herself.
Sighing, she pulled on a pair of plain black pumps that added two inches to her height and quickly practiced walking around the room with the new height. Melody sat up and let out a strangled 'meow' bringing the focus back to the black cat. "Melody, I have to go." Robyn said desperately to her cat that glared back at her with her crystal blue eyes. "I can't keep singing at that bar every night, we need the money more than the music." She said more to herself than the cat.
"It's not like I going to give up singing forever…" she murmured as she picked up her black handbag. "If mother ever heard me giving up on my singing…" she shuddered at the thought. '…she would rise from her grave.' She finished the sentence in her mind.
Robyn took one last look at the mirror as she grasped the door handle. 'Wolfram and Hart here I come…' she thought unenthusiastically.
