Where Do We Go From Here?
Chapter 1: Until the Day I Die
By: Rogue-Slayer13
Disclaimer: I don not own any of the character from Ats or Btvs, sadly, they all belong to Joss Whedon.
A few quick notes to help make the story easier to understand: Takes place after Not Fade Away. Lorne has a change of heart and comes to the alley to help the group fight. Illyeria used some of her remaining powers to prevent Wesley from dying and brought him back to The Hyperion with her.

Angel and the others looked down the alley toward the approaching demon horde. Angel had expected Wolfram & Hart to come at them with everything they had and sure enough, that's exactly what they did. Angel knew that Spike, Illyeria, and himself could hold their own in any good brawl, but this was too much for even them. Even if Wesley and Gunn were fighting without their injuries, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
"Y'know we're gonna die, right?" asked Angel as he looked over at Spike.
"Aren't you optimistic," replied Spike sarcastically.
"I cannot believe the insolence of these creatures. Once they bowed before me and now they dare to rise up against me?" commented Illyeria.
Angel looked over at Spike who has started humming 'Tainted Love' by Soft Cell. The older vampire rolled his eyes before directing his attention back to the demon horde.
"In terms of a plan?" asked Spike, not taking his eyes off of the horde.
"We fight," said Angel as he took a step forward.
Spike gave Angel a look that said No shit Sherlock. "Bit more specific?"
"Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon."
"Of course you do," said Spike under his breath as the demon horde attacked.

To Be Continued . . .
I know it's short, I'll try to make the others longer.
The reason I had Spike hum Tainted Love, is because it says ". . . once I ran to you, now I run from you . . ." it fits in with Illyeria's feelings of betrayal.
