Chapter 3: Holla If You Hear Me
Willow cursed loudly and killed the maps out of her path, "Why isn't this working?" She growled, frustrated at the spell not working. It would have, but she kept getting the same results as before, it almost worked then glowed in 'I told u not 2 try' across the map. One of the maps had even caught fire, and quickly extinguished by Gunn and Faith, both who were extremely bored had been extremely relieved when Angel told them to take Bryan, Spike, and Wesley on patrol.
"Willow, maybe we should try a different way of finding her." Angel suggested, not really wanting to make the Wicca anymore angry than she already was.
"Angel, we've tried everything else!" She said, her voice sounding of desperation.
Angel was about to try to calm her down when there was a knock at the front door, Angel leaned over a bit and saw the massive amount of demons standing outside.
"I suggest you don't answer that." Lorne said.
"Giles what it that?" Buffy asked her ex-watcher. The creatures were purple with horns, scaly arms, and red hair and eyes.
"I believe they are called Liva demons, they usually are sent after people by vampires. They also usually eat young people." Giles explained.
"How young are you talking?" Dawn asked.
"Mostly under 30." Giles replied.
"That's all of is but you, Angel, and Lorne, I think. What do we do?" Buffy questioned.
"I thought you were supposed to be 'plan girl'." Angel said rolling his brown eyes. Buffy was surprised, they had been getting along well, Angel had Cordy and she had Spike. 'That was a dumb question for someone that had been a vampire Slayer for a little over eight years.' Angel thought. "Willow, take Fred, Lorne, Anya and Dawn in my office and lock the door." Angel commanded.
Willow nodded an okay and the five of them walked extremely quickly to Angel's office and all went inside and Willow closed and locked the door as commanded to by Angel.
"Weapons for all!" Cordelia smiled as she opened up the weapons cabinet and tossed Angel a sword. The demons were beginning to grow restless and about three of them decided to try to knock the door down.
Buffy grunted as Cordy tossed her a heavy axe and she slung it over her shoulder and followed Angel and Xander toward the door. "Don't get in my way." Angel said, not even bothering to look back at the blonde Slayer. To him, this was, in a way all her fault. It wasn't just the demons banging to be let it, the Hellmouth changing to L.A, as if the city wasn't strange enough.
"Don't get in mine." She growled in return.
Xander shifted the axe around a little bit; the tension in the room was very high. They had all been starting to get along, but the happy was starting to fade. Xander wouldn't have been surprised if after the demons were dead, if Angel and Buffy started attacking each other with pointy weapons. The united gangs stood a few feet back form the doors with various weapons in everyone's hands.
"Let's do this." Angel said.

"What's with the demons?" Gunn asked as the five of them walked down an alleyway in a neat row.
"Don't you mean lack of?" Faith asked while twirling her stake between her hands effortlessly.
"Maybe they are planning something." Wesley suggested.
"Once a watcher always a watcher." Faith smiled as she continued to twirl her stake as the five of them turned a corner.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Wesley asked. He hadn't been around Faith that much and she obviously wasn't aware of how much he had actually changed.
Bryan looked at Faith, "Are you directing that at British boy only or are you also insulting me?" He arched an eyebrow.
"Nah, never seen you wear tweed therefore you still have respect in my book." Faith smiled, throwing her stake up and catching it in her other hand and then pocketing it.
"Thanks Faith." He smiled. The five walked in silence for a moment but a single vampire in front of them soon interrupted it.
"You work for Angelus?" He asked with a strong southern accent. For a vampire, he appeared to be pretty cocky; country but cocky.
"Are you a Tim McGraw wanna be?" Faith asked as she not so subtly pulled her stake back out.
"Lookie here pretty little thang I got something to tell you for you to run back and tell Angelus after I kill all your friends. You go tell Angelus that I did what he asked, I found his kid." The vampire told the five of them.
"Where?" Bryan asked.
"New Yawk."
"Thanks." Faith didn't even smile, she just flung the stake through the vampire's heart. "What now?" She asked Gunn and the two ex-watchers.
"Think we go tell Angel." Gunn said.
"He's not gonna try to go to New York, is he?" Bryan asked.
"Maybe." Wesley replied. Without another word the five of the them started back toward the hotel to tell Angel.

The GTO screeched to a stop and Cameron hardly gave herself anytime to think before pulling herself out of the car with a sword in her left hand. Connor got out seconds after she did, but he was unarmed. The pair were followed by Adrienne, Kara, Tommy and Terry who all got out of Terry's charcoal Tundra. Cameron raced to the back of the alley where her vision had taken place with Connor by her side. By the time Kara, Adrienne, Terry and Tommy arrived Connor and Cameron were looking at each other then back at the alley.
"What happened here?" Terry asked looking over the bodies of several dozen demons, that were all mutilated in different ways.
"Charlize did this." Connor said as he looked over the bodies of the demons then at the wall. Where something was written in a deep purple demon blood: 'GO HOME'
"Go home?" Cameron raised an eyebrow.
Connor smirked a little, every time the half-demon was confused she sounded a lot less southern and a lot more Irish. "I thought was supposed to be fighting pretty hard for this one." Connor said as he continued to look around the bodies, hoping for a missing clue.
"She was, I don't get it." Cameron said, still sounding a bit confused.
Connor looked at the wall then at Cameron and her gang as if he just had an epiphany. "I have to go back to L.A." He said staring at them as if they were supposed to get it.
"Isn't that what she wants so she can wreak havoc here without you to stop her?" Kara asked with her brown hair bouncing in the slight breeze.
"'S called reverse psychology my friends. She wants him in here so she can go back to L.A." Cameron said, saying exactly what Connor had been thinking.
"Cameron, can you get me a flight back to L.A.?" Connor asked his new friend, eager for a little help.
"Connor I won't get you a flight back to L.A. It's obvious that Charlize and her friend left a while ago. And we need to get there before they do so we can come up with a plan." Cameron told Connor.
"How?" Connor asked.
Terry laughed, "She's not just vision girl, bein half demon Shorty has some tricks up her sleeves." He explained.
Connor looked at Terry with an odd expression, he thought Cameron had told him everything, but obviously not. "Connor, do you need to go get anything from the hotel?" She asked as she reached into the pocket of her jeans.
"No, I don't have anything that can't be replaced. But how do you plan on getting there?" Connor asked.
Cameron threw Tommy her keys, "You scratch it your dead." She said firmly with a smile. He nodded, and Cameron took a few steps to Connor's side. "This is gonna seem trippy at first cause you've never done it before but it's not that bad, but you gonna have to hold on." She instructed putting her arm around his waist, then Connor did the same.
"What are we-
Connor began but Tommy, Kara, Adrienne and Terry didn't hear the end of his question, Cameron and Connor disappeared in a shimmer-y kind of way.
~~~~
Less than 10 seconds later Cameron and Connor reappeared on top of a closed dumpster in a Los Angeles alleyway. "Where are we?" Connor asked quietly.
"In the African desert." Cameron said sarcastically, letting go of his waist. Connor was about to say something when she interrupted him, "L.A." She said truthfully.
"How did you do that?" Connor asked, still wondering how he got from New York to Los Angeles in virtually no time.
"Half-demon. I can do a lot of things that can surprise." She smiled. "Uh, Connor, not that I'm complaining or anything but you can let go of me now." Cameron said, blushing slightly, and sound extremely Irish.
"Sorry." Connor blushed also. "Why are we on a dumpster?" Connor laughed.
"I don't know." Cameron burst into a laughing fit. Connor leaped down from the dumpster and helped a laughing Cameron off of it. "Thanks." She smiled.
"Okay I have a question. Why do you change the way you talk? Half the time you sound like you are from the south and the other half you sound Irish." Connor told her.
"The southern thing is for when I'm in New York, no one wants to hear Irish people sing, and I took voice lessons so I can actually sound like I'm from anywhere but the Irish accent is the normal way I talk." She smiled as the pair of them left the alley side by side. "Which do you prefer?" She laughed, but was being semi-serious.
"I think the Irish accent is cute." Connor replied, blushing a little.
"Alright then." She said, talking how she used to around her brother, which was completely natural. "Connor, where is Angel Investigations? I think we should probably go there first and tell yer dad what we know." She said as Connor led her down a different street.
"What do we know?" Connor asked.
"Charlize's coming back to Los Angeles." Cameron replied. Connor nodded in agreement and put his arm back around her waist and not really knowing how to respond Cameron did the same.
~~~~
"How many of these things are there?" Cordelia asked as she sliced another demon in half. For the past hour the Liva demons had come with vengeance, every time the gang thought they were about to win more and more demons came.
"Question is do they ever end?" Xander asked in reply. He was starting to get tired, so were Giles and Cordy. Even Buffy and Angel were showing signs of fatigue, it really was beginning to become seemingly impossible. They kept coming, and coming, and coming.
Suddenly the demons stopped coming, Angel killed the last one in the hotel and looked up to the lobby entrance. "They ended all right." A blonde haired girl with bright blue eyes and an Irish accent smiled. Angel was surprised, Connor was standing beside her. "Angel," She walked down the stairs ahead of Connor and in front of Angel. "Nice to meet cha." She stuck out her right hand.
"You seem-
"Familiar? Yeah, name's Cameron Doyle." She said, introducing herself as Angel shook her hand.
"Did you say Doyle?" Cordelia looked to the girl.
"That I did." She smiled. "You must be Cordelia. God, Francis never shut up about you." She looked at Cordy who appeared to be freaked out. "I'm Francis's baby sister." She explained.
"Question, do you get the visions too?" Cordelia asked, not really knowing where to stop.
"Yeah. I do." She sighed.
There was silence.
"So Cameron what brings you to Los Angeles, with my son?" Angel asked, getting vibes that maybe Connor had a little crush on this girl.
"Not quite sure, thought I came to stake me a vampire but can't quite do that seeing how Connor is in love with her and she's half human." Cameron explained.
"Xander, Buffy, Giles, this is Cameron Doyle. Cameron these are my friends. Some of them anyway, uh Xander could you go get the others out of where ever we hid them?" Angel asked.
Xander, whom usually didn't like to listen to Angel, did it anyway seeing as he said no then Buffy would just make him.
Moments later Anya, Dawn, Fred, Lorne, and Willow returned back upstairs with Xander. Cameron introduced herself and told the gang she was a seer, and who her brother was.
"Are you half demon also?" Anya asked, remembering seeing Doyle a few times when she was still a vengeance demon.
"You're half demon?" Buffy asked. She'd seen vampires, demons, hell gods, spirits, children of vampires, but never a half demon.
"Yeah." Cameron said. She was about to explain something but she suddenly stood up straight and raised her hand and had the expression much like the one she had in the GTO before she had her vision. Connor rushed to her side, prepared to catch her if she fell. Cameron didn't have a vision; she sneezed. When she sneezed her skin turned green and deep blue horns popped out all over her face. Cameron shook her head and turned back into a pretty Irish girl.
"Whoa." Buffy said, obviously surprised but in a serious tone.
The Irish half-demon stood up straight and suddenly her expression came back but this time instead of sneezing, she screamed out in pain and collapsed almost to the floor but Connor caught her.

It would have, but she kept getting the same results as before, it almost worked then glowed in 'I told u not 2 try' across the map.
