A/N; I took into consideration the helpful criticism I received and after visiting the website suggested to me (thanks Eva), realised what a total Slayer-Sue my character is. Im sorry. I made some little adjustments to the first three chapters and im currently reworking the rest of them. I hope they make a difference. I couldn't really alter the fact that Caitlin was a Slayer cause otherwise the whole plot of the story won't work. Sorry if people still think its crap. Im not overly imaginative so I couldn't think up any amazing changes, but I promise I'll work on the whole 'Mary-Sue' situation before posting my next story. P.s. thanks to all my lovely reviewers. Im glad you like it so far, and I really appreciate the constructive criticism. Oh and btw, does anybody have some good demon names? R&R and let me know.
Chapter 4
Angel winced from the pain as Cordy bandaged the wound left by the stake. It was already starting to heal over, but he knew it would slow him down for a while; just what he couldn't afford.
"You're lucky. A few inches to the left and you'd be a pile on the floor right now," Cordy said as she finished dressing the wound.
Angel stood up and, carefully putting his shirt back on, headed towards the doors.
"Where are you going?" Wesley asked.
"I have to go after them," Angel replied determinedly.
"No way Angel, you're not exactly fit to fight right now," Cordy protested. "And you don't even know what we're up against."
"I can't just leave her to get killed." Angel told her, a little heatedly. He hadn't meant to snap at Cordelia but she didn't fully grasp the situation. When Caitlin had arrived in LA, Angel had made a solemn promise to Buffy that he wouldn't let anything happen to her younger sister. She wasn't half as experienced as Buffy, and she had a certain arrogance that often led her into more trouble than she was capable of handling on her own. If anything happened to her, he didn't know how he'd be able to face Buffy. She'd trusted him with Caitlin's life, and he wasn't about to let her down. He looked around at the others and added, "They took me out for a reason. Something's gonna happen to Caitlin and I have to protect her."
Wesley walked over to the weapons cabinet and took out a menacing looking axe, "We have to protect her."
Angel nodded, and everyone grabbed a weapon.

As Caitlin slowly came back to consciousness, she felt a dull, throbbing pain in the back of her head. She opened her eyes a little to make sure the coast was clear. When she thought it was, she opened her eyes completely and looked around. As far as she could tell, she was in some kind of old, abandoned warehouse. Looking up at the wall next to her, she realised the row of high windows that ran the length of the building had all been bricked up to stop people getting in. Or, she thought, more likely to stop her from getting out.
She couldn't see any doors from where she lay, so she sat up, cautiously so as not to make the pain in her head worse. As she did so, a deep, rumbling growl reached her ears. Trying hard to keep calm, she slowly turned around to face the direction in which the growl had come from. What she saw made her wish she'd never woken up...
***
...A giant reptilian monster stood before her, drool oozing from the corners of its huge mouth. Caitlin counted at least two rows of teeth in the creature's mouth, each with a set of vicious looking fangs. On each three-toed foot, lethal claws protruded each a foot in length or more, and a multiple spiked tail swung back and forth over its shoulder.
As Caitlin looked up into the creatures evil red eyes, panic overtook her. She leapt to her feet and ran as fast as she could, dodging between old broken down machinery and stacks of boxes and crates, desperately looking for a way out.
The creature lunged at her and managed to grab hold of her leg with its claws. Caitlin cried out as she fell to the floor and kicked out at it, but its teeth connected with her foot. She screamed in agony as razor sharp teeth bit down hard on her ankle. Forcing herself to move through the pain, she reached out and grabbed a thick plank of wood. She swung it as hard as she could and it connected with the monster's skull with a loud THWACK. It barely dazed the creature, but for a second it loosened its grip and Caitlin was able to pull free.
Dragging herself to her feet and wincing with pain, Caitlin ran for a door at the back of the warehouse. The creature lunged for her again, but Caitlin dived behind a huge piece of machinery at the last minute. The creature was unable to stop as quickly and it crashed into the machinery, getting itself tangled in some heavy chains. Caitlin seized the opportunity and, mustering all her remaining strength, threw herself through a door at the back of the warehouse, slamming it shut behind her and throwing the heavy bolt across to lock it.
Outside, the creature managed to struggle free and rammed at the door with a thunderous blow. Caitlin let out a shriek of terror as the heavy door rattled under the pressure, and she backed further into the room. She looked around and realised that there were no windows or doors in this small room. She was trapped.
As the creature continued to rain blows on the door, Caitlin backed as far as she could away from the door and slid down the wall to sit huddled in the corner, tears streaming down her face with pain and fear as realisation set in. Without her Slayer strength and abilities her usual cool exterior gave way to total panic. Her worst fear had come true; she was just a normal girl...with no chance of escaping this alive.
