NOTE: The sunnydale that buffy is in is the one from the wish, cause i totally
loved that episode and wanted to have fun with it. also in the Los Angeles
that Xander and Tara are in Angel never left the hyprerion in 1952. If you
watch Angel you'll know what I'm talking about
Chapter 5: Hellhounds and book smarts.
"So what is a Groosalaug again?" Giles asked.
Angel stopped walking and turned around, behind him was a huge castle.
"He is the best warrior of this place, we put him into power before we left."
"And this was after you almost killed him in combat by turning into the Angel
beast?"
"Yes." Angel replied.
They were in front of the castle now and were heading towards the gate when they
came upon two armed gaurds.
"I hope you're right about them remembering you." Giles said.
The words were no sooner out of his mouth when one of the gaurds saw them and
smiled.
"Angel what brings you back here? Who is your friend?" The gaurd asked.
"This is Giles. We need to see the Groosalaug."
The smile faded from the gaurds face now as he turned back towards the gate.
"I'm afraid that is impossible." He said.
"Why?"
"He died." The gaurd replied and then he thought for a moment.
"I could take you to the new boss."
"Lead the way." Angel said.
The gaurd turned to the other one and said something, soon the gate was opening
and they were walking through it. The gaurd led them over a bridge and up some stairs
to the main doors. The gaurd hit the door three times with his staff.
"How did he die?" Angel asked.
"Poisoned. It was such a shame, we mourned his loss for days."
Angel was about to ask something else when the door opened and gaurd dropped to his
knees.
"My lady." He said.
Angel could say nothing, and the look on Giles face was comical. The queen had answered the
door and it was Cordeilia.
It turns out the portal had opened behind a wall, a big, black wall. Dawn and Faith were
crouched down on a rock cliff above the compound looking down at it. The blue light from
the portal was eminating over the top of the wall. They were lying there in wait because they
had a problem. There were three hellhounds, patrolling around the wall.
"What the hell are those?" Faith said almost to herself.
"Hellhounds." Dawn replied. Faith looked over at her.
"What?"
"Hellhounds, Buffy killed some at the prom." Dawn said.
Faith continued to look down and study them.
"Okay so now we know what were dealing with, how did she kill them? Any specific way?"
"She killed one with a knife, one with a crossbow and the other one. She broke it's neck."
"Then that's what we do too, cause no weapons." Faith said.
"Time to devise a plan." Dawn replied.
When the planning was all said and done it was decided that Faith would distract the hellhounds
and lead them away from the wall so that Dawn could find a way in and go untested to the portal.
Dawn hadn't liked this idea but Faith pointed out that one of them had to make it back alive. So
Dawn had relented.
Faith was making her way down the rock wall now, Dawn waited until she was almost down before she
started down herself, she had to stay out of sight. It took them awhile to navigate but they made it
down alright. When they reached the bottom Faith put a huge rock in her denim jacket and wrapped it
up, making a crude bashing weapon.
"Alright little sis, remember don't move until they are out of sight." Faith told her.
Dawn nodded and shrunk back against the rocks while Faith ran towards the hellhounds spinning her
jacket high in the air.
Spike rounded the corner, carrying Willow in his arms. The witch was getting kind of heavy. He thought
to himself. By now he realized that he didn't have his vampire strength either. He was also begining to
doubt if he would even catch on fire if the sun came out here, because it seemed that he wasn't
even a vampire here. But he knew that was wrong cause he could feel it brooding below his surface, the
demon in him screaming to get out. Then it was as if Willow read his mind.
"Am I getting heavy. Do you need to stop and rest?" She asked.
"I'd rather not. If were not moving we might get attacked again. We need to find out what is going on
here." Spike said.
"I know just the place." Willow said.
"Where?" Spike asked.
"Where do you go if you want knowledge? A library." Willow replied.
"Oh. booksmarts time." Spike said.
Willow nodded, as Spike adjusted his grip on her.
