Eve and Doyle stepped into the old Hyperion Hotel. Unfortunately Angel was sitting in the lobby, cleaning an axe.

Eve blinked, " That's really unnerving Dad."

He grinned back wolfishly, "That's the idea,"

Eve snorted, "I'm going upstairs to change, I'm going out," with that, the dirt blond disappeared down a hall.

Angel turned to Doyle, "Where was she?" he inquired, going instantly into protective dad mode.

Doyle shrugged, "Can't tell you that mate, Princess swore me to secrecy."

Angel was about to say something, but Cordelia calling him interrupted him. While he was busy with the former prom queen he missed Eve coming down the stairs.

Eve bounded down the stairs with gracefulness beyond her youth. The thick soles of her combat boots make soft thuds on the tiled floor.

"Princess are you sure it's okay to go out?" Doyle's soft voice made the teenager in her tracks.

"Doyle, it's okay, promise. I know how to take care of myself," Eve gave a mischievous grin.

"I'm not worried about the nasties attacking you, I'm worried about you attacking the nasties," he grinned as the young girl pouted.

"I'll take offense to that," she looked at Doyle; he just shrugged. Rolling her eyes she slipped out of the door and into the night.

Eve was scarcely out the door five minutes when Angel came back into the lobby, hoping to catch his daughter before she left so he could find out where she had been for the past four hours. Unfortunately for him, all he found was Doyle still standing in the lobby like he had been for the past ten minutes.

"She went out mate, and I don't think she wants you to follow 'er," the Irishman said, shrugging.

"Damn," Angel muttered under his breath but turned to the first friend he had made in LA, "Doyle, can't you just tell me where you two where for four hours, or at least why you were there?" he pleased with the half demon.

"To tell the truth, I don't know why Princess was there, but she told me not to say where she was…I guess she didn't want to anger you," Doyle shrugged again and turned to head to his own room in the draft hotel.

Eve was out in the night, which she preferred much more than day. Night was her time, appeasing both sides of her, her demon side and her human side. Oh what a tangled web she survived in.

Finally Eve found the club she wanted to hang out if for the night. Buying a coke she said down at a table and stared into the distance, thinking about the last few years.

Life as a vampire was interesting; Eve soon learned. Everything was different. Everything was clearer yet blurrier. But life wasn't life anyway, it was killing and maiming and watching the stupid humans grow old. That all changed when she happened upon a group of witchcraft practicing Wiccans. To make a long story short, they realized what a horrible tragedy to encase a demon in a child's body and gave back Eve's soul.

So wandering the Untied States for a hundred years wasn't a piece of cake. It was hard for her to keep out of the government's grasp; finally they were noticing the many children that ran wild on the streets. But finally in the year 1999, after 136 years of wandering the continental United States Eve finally settled in Los Angeles, the City of Angels.

Then she was in the wrong place and the wrong time and was shot in the arm and leg, she passed out. That's how the start up company, Angel Investigations, found her. Upon waking up, she was nursed back to health by Doyle, Cordelia and the ever-brooding Angel. Even though day by day Eve grew stronger and healthier, she stayed with the people that had trusted her.

That might have been her down fall. When her friends where in danger she rushed in and sacrificed herself. The last thing she saw was a bright light and then fell into the comforting arms of darkness.

Throughout the time she was in darkness, Eve felt herself grow smaller, soon she felt herself stop, and start sucking on something. Although she wasn't able to see, she knew she was safe and eagerly accepted the liquid.

Then, Eve didn't know how much later, she opened her eyes and took in the world. She was safe, in someone's arms. Looking up she the large nose of someone she knew, "Daddy" her brain said, but Eve knew better.

As Eve grew from a newborn to toddler to young child to teen she learned of the supernatural and the fact that they were not in their own reality. They spent what felt like 16 year there until Angel thought it was time to return to their own reality, where it had been only 4 months since they had left…

"Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" a voice interrupted Eve's trip down memory lane.

"What now?!" Eve looked up, confused. Then she saw the girl who had her hand on the back of the chair that was facing her. "Oh no, you can sit."

"Thanks, I'm Dawn, you?" she said sweetly.

"Eve," she grinned and stirred the ice in the half-drunk coke.

"You looked pretty deep in thought when I came over. I had to ask you like three times if I could sit down," Dawn laughed.

"Yeah, remembering the past. It can be so sad sometimes," Eve said softly. Dawn nodded, her face mirroring Eve's. "Haven't seen you here before. Passing through?" Eve tried to change the subject.

"School trip, I'm from the suburbs," Dawn shrugged.

"So you're here with someone?" Eve gave a devilish grin.

Dawn shrugged, "I think so. My sister's too protective of me. I'm starting to think they don't trust me."

Eve sighed, "I know the feeling. That's why I have to get out, be on my own. Like I did tonight."

"But you can do that, I can't." Dawn told the other girl.

"Then come with me and do it. Just leave, I'll take you to my place, and believe me…it's going to be a lot different from what you last expected," Eve offered.

Dawn shrugged, "Let's do it, I mean what's the worse that could happen?" she said flippantly.

The two left the club, but unknown to them, they were being watched…by three different groups.


This is the second chapter and things for me to make sure you understand.

Fred and Gunn will appear later.

Doyle doesn't have visions that much anymore…it's now Cordy's job. See Doyle was supposed to jump and save everyone, but Eve, being the little show stealer she is, did it first.

Eve is technically human, but she has a few sides to her, aka her demon side. Although she is not harmed by crosses or sunlight, or craves blood she still must obey her sire and she happens to prefer darkness instead of light. Also (even if this is part of her other side too) she has the speed and strength of a master vampire.
