WOES
NOTE: I own none of these guys except for Skylar and any character that you haven't seen before.
A/N: This is the third Skylar story in the Skylar series. Like I said before each story has a different length. This one might be longer or shorter than the others. I don't know yet. But since this story goes with Angel's gift and Valentine's Surprise you might want to read those before you read this.
CHAPTER 10Angelus was starving for the rich taste of human blood. He sniffed something "delicious" in the air. Angelus crept into an alley. It was empty.
"Hello, Angelus." Angelus looked behind him and saw both Reginald and Frank. It had been Frank who spoke. "How nice to meet you."
Angelus began to chuckle. He started to applaud. "What are you doing?" Reginald asked.
"Nice work. Lure the world's most deadly vampire into an alley. I'm shaking." Angelus slowly approached the duo. "You think I'm underestimated by a pathetic human, in a suit, and his demon lackey?"
"So then you do remember us?" Frank said.
"Yeah. You're the dynamic duo who tried to kill my kid… twice. And you failed… twice." Angelus began to chuckle again.
"You make it sound like you care about the little brat," said Frank.
"No. The goody freak that took over me cares about the brat. Now what can I do for you two gentlemen? You know. Besides devour your corpses."
"Angelus, we have a proposition to make," said Reginald. "You give us the Restorer and…"
"And I get what?" Angelus pressed.
All of a sudden Reginald grew into his black demon half. His red claws began to extend. Surprisingly he raised a hand and drove all five of his red claws into Frank's back. Frank spit up a puddle of blood as he collapsed. Angelus looked down at the dead corpse then back at the demon before him.
"And you get him," said Reginald, his voice now more abrasive than before.
"A traitorous demon? Gee, you don't see that every day," said Angelus sarcastically.
The demon smirked. "There is much more where my former partner came from. All I require is the Restorer."
"Might as well do something sporting," said Angelus. "It's not like much is going on as far as snacks are concerned. Hmm. Poor Darla. She would have lived for this kind of edge." Angelus suddenly looked depressed. His facial expression quickly changed. "Oh, well. The dumb bitch is dead. Boo-hoo." He picked up Frank's dead body and began to drain him. After a moment he looked up at the demon with blood spilling out of his mouth. "You mind? I'm having dinner."
Buffy, Xander, Anya, and Dawn walked into the hotel tiredly. Connor, Gunn, and Lorne weren't far behind and walked in with them. Fred and Willow walked into the lobby as Spike entered.
"Any luck?" Fred asked.
"No," Buffy replied. "This is bull crap. Angelus is out there… taking control of my husband."
Dawn put a comforting hand to Buffy's shoulder. "It'll be OK. We'll find him."
"I'm getting pretty sick of hearing that," said Buffy coldly. Dawn took her hand away. "I'm going to go check on Skylar." She headed upstairs.
"God, she's down," said Xander.
"Poor chit," said Spike.
"Well, Fred and I kind of have a solution to the Angelus problem," said Willow. "We know how to bring him back in one piece."
"How?" Connor asked.
"Simple really," said Fred. "A summoning spell."
"A spell?" Gunn repeated. "Nope. Forget that."
"Come on, Charles. We have to try," said Fred.
"Spells are useless," said Connor. "Magic can't help anyone."
"Well, I disagree. I think I know what I'm doing," said Willow.
"Well, candy canes, I know of the perfect summoning spell," said Lorne.
"Great. He said it's perfect," said Gunn. "Now you know it ain't go work."
"Charles," Fred rebuked. "Would you just trust us?"
Buffy charged down the stairs with a frantic look on her face. "Buffy, what's wrong?" Xander asked.
Buffy, through utter distress, replied, "Skylar. She's gone!"
A/N: So… what do you think so far? Tell me in your wonderful heartfelt reviews. (Seriously here.) Oh, and sorry that this is short. But I still want your opinion. Even if you're undecided about it I want to know.
