The Huntress
Ok, I had to remove this to make a lot of changes but I think I fixed it. Let me know what you think. No flames please.
I really suck at summaries but...Someone from Angel's past shows up in LA with a secret that could turn his world upside down. Things get interesting when the Scoobies arrive and something very bad happens.
Disclaimer: I do not own Angel or BtVS. Only Neala, Branna and the plot and later in the story, Skye.

Chapter 1
London - 1764
A wooden arrow hissed through the air and hit its target with ease. The vampire looked down at his chest before he burst into dust, leaving nothing but the arrow on the ground where he had stood.
The sound of heals clicked in the darkness as a figure emerged from the shadows to collect their weapon that lay in the light of a street lamp. A slim, delicate looking figure stepped into the light and picked up the arrow that lay at her feet. The raven-haired woman looked around discreetly before picking it up and reloading her crossbow. She held it at her side as she walked through the dark night, moving it from hand to hand when a human walked by on the side she was holding it.
Though, she didn't really need it, she just wasn't in the mood to ruin another dress fighting. Even though she didn't look it, she was incredibly strong and agile and could break the legs of a strong human male with one kick. She was given the name Huntress by the demons she encountered. Most of the ones she ran into were dead (or dust in the case of vampires) but some were able to escape and warn their friends about her.
The Huntress slowed to a standstill in the middle of the street, bright green eyes flicking from side to side. She could sense an attack coming before it came and this time was no exception. She fired her arrow at the first vampire and then had to rely on her strength and magic to help her ward off the rest. She lit the next few on fire with a snap of her fingers before she was hit in the back of her head and knocked to the ground. Her vision blurred for a minute as she felt her head being yanked back to expose her neck. Before the vampire could sink his teeth into her, a voice interrupted the fight.
"Stop!" The Irish male voice commanded. An Irish man in England? She thought dizzily. "She's mine." The man stepped into the pale light of the streetlights, revealing himself to her. The Huntress's eyes widened with surprise and horror when she saw who it was. Angelus! Her mind screamed. She wanted to say it out loud but her voice caught in her throat. Angelus it was indeed. The most feared vampire in England was standing in front of her. He dropped down to her level and looked her in the eyes.
"So, this is the famous Huntress. I kind of expected her to be taller or. . .something." He drawled in his thick Irish accent. "Put these on her," he said tossing cuffs and chains to the nearest vamp, "she's comin' with me." The vampire that held the chains didn't dare defy Angelus and did as he was told. Angelus yanked her up and pulled her along with him in the direction he had come.
"Before you try any kind of magic spell or something let me just tell you that these cuff were made to stop any and all kinds of magic. So, you can't do anything to me as long as I keep you in them." He informed her as her pulled her into an abandoned building and threw her on the floor. She found her voice and decided it was time to talk.
"What do you plan on doing with me?" She looked at him and noted to the surprise in his eyes when he heard her own accent.
"You're Irish." He stated still shocked by the sound of her voice. She didn't talk much, but when she did she tried to disguise her Irish accent with a British one.
"Wonder how you figured that out." She said sarcastically. He growled and backhanded her across her face. Any normal person would have fallen over at the impact, but The Huntress was no normal person. Her head jerked, but she remained on her knees. Angelus chuckled quietly.
"You're going to be fun to break." He pushed her onto her back and straddled her. "After I have some fun first."
A scream echoed through the night as he bit into her neck. Then for her, everything went black.
