Buffy stepped closer and looked darkly at the demon that stole her boyfriend's body. He looked the same, except for the coldness in his eyes. She saw the way he leered at her, and closed her eyes to hide sudden tears.

Angelus saw her close her eyes and took his opportunity. He rushed her, catching her around the waste and knocking her to the floor. Her head snapped against the concrete of the warehouse floor, and he rolled to sit on-top of her. Before he could get a good hold on her, she slammed her fist into his face and shoved him to the side. Sliding away from him, she spun her heel around to catch him in the chin. Jumping up, she ran to get behind him, but he turned to face her, his face feral. Breathing hard, they began to circle one another.
