A/N: OK, I haven't updated for ages so I decided it was time for me to add
another chapter, once again this is kind of one of those inbetweeny
chapters that I just need to add in to get the story to progress a little
further. If I get some reviews from this chapter then I'll try and update
extra soon! Oh and by the way, while I'm talking about reviews I realised
that I was only letting people who were signed in to review, I didn't
realise this but now I have I've turned off that option so everyone can
review!

Summary: After just moving from Britain a girl with unusual abilities meets the scoobies, a pre-chip Spike and unsouled Angel. (Angelus)
Warning: Nothing as of yet, maybe in later chapters
Rating: PG-13
Spilers/Timing: None really, but it's set in season three so there might be some vague spoilers, but if you've seen Innocence and know about Angelus, there isn't anything (hopefully)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
Chloe made her way towards the library slowly she didn't really feel like having a 'Research Party' with the 'Scooby Gang' but they'd only get suspicious if she kept making excuses about why she couldn't come, and hopefully it would be over fairly quickly. She wondered if they'd want her to do some spells, Willow practiced magic but she couldn't really do much more than float a pencil.
Opening the double doors the five faces she had grown to like stared back at her and then went back to looking at their books when they realised it wasn't some random student coming in to take out a book this late at night. One face didn't even bother to look up, but this really didn't surprise Chloe, she and Buffy didn't get on, she didn't know why but they had both taken an instant dislike to each other, but had tried not to show it in front of all their friends.
Giles stood up and walked over to her as Chloe looked at the clock on the wall behind him and realised that she was twenty minutes late. Oops.
"Hello Chloe, I trust you didn't have any trouble getting here?"
"Nope, haven't seen a vampire since I saw you all last night" Chloe decided it would be better off for her sake if she didn't tell everyone how she had invited two master vampires into her home last night, they probably wouldn't be all that happy if they found out that Spike and Angelus had a season ticket into her home.
"Well that's good, I was wondering if you could help me decipher a spell I found in one of my books, It's rather confusing and made up of several languages, but we need the spell to send our latest demon back to a hell dimension"
Chloe followed Giles into his office and tried to ignore the strange looks that Oz was giving her, she couldn't work out what it was, he had been perfectly fine with her the night before, he had probably been talking to Buffy or something. There was something else though, something about Oz that she couldn't remember, something Willow had said and it was nagging her. Then it hit her, shit he was a werewolf, meaning he had very acute senses, but he wouldn't still be able to smell Angelus and Spike on her would he? She hadn't seen them for almost 24 hours.
That brought her onto yet another problem, Angelus wanted information and she was unsure of what she could tell them without causing too many problems. She decided to tell him the basics, that they had opened up a portal to a hell dimension and sent the demon home to Pylea, that should about cut it. But she had to actually open the portal first, og she was in for a fun filled evening.
---------------------------------------------
Walking home from the library where they had managed to rid themselves of the latest demon Chloe tried to clear her head. So much had gone on since she had arrived in Sunnydale, meeting the scoobies, finding out they were the 'official slaying gang', them finding out about her magical abilities, and of course meeting Spike and Angelus.
She supposed she should be used to all of this by now, there was always lots going on, where ever she was, but just when she was getting settled into a nice routine something normally managed to go wrong, and upset her nice comfy little routine, it had happened back in England and it would happen here in Sunnydale, she was sure of it.
Once again being aware of what was going on around her, even when she was lost deep in her thoughts Chloe realised she was being followed and she had a pretty good idea who it was as well. The fact that she had realised he was following her meant only one thing, that he wanted her to know. She stood still and looked around, searching every corner of the world around her but she couldn't work out where he was so she decided to go and sit on the park bench again, he would come along and talk to her when he felt like it.
She was right, no sooner had she sat down and Angelus and Spike came stalking out of the shadows and sat down, one either side of her.
"Really we should stop bumping in to each other like this, people will talk" Chloe couldn't be bothered to even roll her eyes at this comment, she was tired and she really couldn't be bothered to start argueing with him again.
"Mmmmhmmm"
"Somethin' up Ducks?" Spike looked at the small girl, trapped between two very strong vampires curiously, she was unusually quiet and she actually appeared to be dropping off to sleep. Spike supposed that Angelus must have came to the same conclusion when he next spoke.
"Aww look Spikey, someone's going to sleep" Angelus looked at her for a few moments longer before he put his arm around her, Chloe stiffened slightly, but her body soon began to relax as his hand stroker up and down her arm soothingly, sending her back off to sleep. "Lets get you home, the Slayer could pop up at any minute and would assume that we where up to no good"
Angelus picked up the fragile girl in his arms and her head fell gently onto his shoulder as she allowed herself to be carried home, apparantly losing her usual will to fight against him when she was tired, Angelus made sure he remembered that, it could be useful someday in the future. After a quick search through her pockets Angelus found her door key and let the three of them in, no longer needing to ask for an invite after having recieved one the previous night.
He settled down on the couch with Chloe in his arms and gave Spike permission to go and get something to eat. Chloe began muttering a string of words in her sleep and once again Angelus made sure that he remembered them, they might come in handy later on, especially if he could work out what they meant to her.
"Max.... no... Tom... please... sorry... git...no... master......"
She trailed off and Angelus took another moment to evaluate the girl, obviously there was a lot more to her past in England than anyone had picked up on and he was determined to find out what it was, and who Max and Tom were and who she was calling Master in her sleep, it would bevery interesting to find out...
---------------------------------------------
Morning came and Chloe awoke curled up on the couch covered in a long, dark coat. Angelus's long, dark coat. Chloe groaned and was tempted to just go back to sleep and home last night had been a dream before she saw the clock on the wall, she had to get ready for school.
She decided to put the coat somewhere safe, Angelus would be extremely pissed off if she managed to lose his coat, but Chloe didn't want to move, the coat seemed to make her feel safe and right now that was all she really cared about. She didn't even bother to think about falling asleep in Angelus's arms last night, it was done now and there was nothing she could do to change that. Suddenly she shot upright and remembered the dream she had been having last night, or the nightmare, or the memories. Whatever you wanted to call it, and Chloe knew she had a very bad habbit of talking in her sleep, meaning there was a good chance Angelus had heard some of it.
Chloe moaned and got ready for school, she would have to worry about Angelus and the dreams later on, right now she had to get to school, and look forward to the prospect of yet another Scooby meeting after school tonight, honestly did these people have nothing better to do in their lives? She would have enjoyed a nice night out at The Bronze again, but instead she was stuck in a stuffy library with a Slayer she couldn't stand and she would have to go through loads of spell books just to find one little thing.
Oh the joys of living on the hellmouth.
