Here's chapter 6. I hope you guys like it. I thought the begining of this chapter was obvious, that it was Velma's pov. But when I read Dreamy Girl's review, I noticed that it wasn't. So I took it down and added 'Velma's pov' at the begining. And now you can enjoy it again with the little change that I made.

Chapter 6: Reunited
Velma's pov
It had been 24 hours since she got kidnapped. Velma knew her friends would come, but didn't know if they would make it on time. When the kidnappers got home yesterday, they walked down to the basement, one of them took the bag off her head and before she could get her barring she was thrown in a cage. As her eyes started to adjust, she looked around and saw lots of eyes staring back at her. Two cages down, Velma saw four figures grabbing four girls and walked off with them, kicking and screaming. Then it went silent. Those left behind either cried or prayed.
"It's been like that, for some time now." one of the girls said as if she had read Velma's mind. "They come and go. Some times to put more kidnapped girls in the cages. Other times its to grab one or four of us and... well... you saw what happens." A couple minutes later, two of the figures came to her cage and pulled Velma out.
"Let me go. Where are you taking me?" she shouted. She soon knew where the girls went.
Her captors took her to a place that use to look like a family room. On the far wall sat a pale looking girl, the only thing was she had furry wings and her eyes had an evil look to them. As her captors pushed Velma towards the girl, a second mouth began to grow out of her stomach. When they got closer, the mouth stopped growing and the girl smiled at Velma.
"We sense a second heart betting from this one." she said and put her hand on Velma's stomach, then laughed. "We will not devour her, instead when the time comes for the one in her to be born, we will possess the child and you will care for us. When we become of age, we will not need you and then we will devour you."
"I will not let you." Velma told the monster.
"And how, pray, do you intend to stop us?" it asked.
"I will kill both the child and myself." Velma said seriously. But the monster laughs, waving her away.
Somehow the figures know of their mistress' plans, for when they returned, Velma was put in a cage by herself. She was crying and started to rock, mubbling to herself. Ten feet away from Velma's cage was another. One of the girls in it asked what happened, when Velma told her the girl turned and told the others. The news of Velma's bad luck had spread like wild fire and every time she looked up, Velma could see the pity and jealousy in the girl's eyes. Well jealous that she wasn't going to die and they would.
Now she huddled in her cage, alone and scared. The figures had left and when one returned, Velma turned her head to see it had yet another victim. But this one, she and everyone else, noticed had a lot of spirit.
"Put me down! I'll sue! You'll never get away with this, I have powerful friends!" the girl screamed kicking the figure in the leg, as it throws her in the cage. The girl landed hard on the floor, cursing as she got up. Velma's tears started up again. It happened every time those figures brought some poor girl back here. She wasn't crying for just herself anymore, but for all of them. Someone threw a rock at her, it was their way of telling her to shut up. Velma saw the new girl scolding whoever it was that threw the rock. In her heart, Velma thanked the new girl, for no one had stood up for her.
"She doesn't know that they're all jealous of me," she thought sadly. As Velma eyes wondered, she thought she saw something moving in the shadows. A man then stepped out and was talking to the new girl. She heard the girl say something about wanting out and her complexion. Velma also heard her name come from the man. How he knew her name she didn't know. As he said it though, a girl in the cage next to him grabbed his coat and pulled him over to her. Again Velma only heard pieces of what they were saying, not that she was trying to eavesdrop, but she was curious.
Suddenly the man disappear, looking around Velma couldn't find him. As she kept on searching she didn't notice he had reappered until she was staring into a pair of brown eyes. Velma yelped but fell silent has he put a finger on his lips.
"Are you Velma?" he asked her.
"Yes but how do you know my name?" she asked him.
"A man by the name of Shaggy told me." he told her smiling. Velma grow teary eyed when she heard the name. The man introduced himself as Angel and he pointed to the new girl saying her name was Cordelia, explaining that she is a friend of his and that he had followed her captor here. He also told Velma that his other friends and the gang shouldn't be too far. Putting her hands over her mouth, Velma let the tears fall as the vampire did his best to comfort her. A noise from upstairs brought everyone's eyes upwards. Angel told her, he'd be right back and he went back to the shadows. Just as he arrived to the stairs, the figures appeared to find the source of the noise.
Angel's pov
He had just gotten to the stairs, when he notices the four figures coming out, probably to see what caused the noise. As they walked away from the stairs, Angel quickly ran up the stairs. Once on the top floor, he could hear some whispers of pain. Heading towards the voices, he noticed his friends and Mystery Inc. all lying on the ground each rubbing a sore part of their body.
"What are you guys doing?" Angel hissed at them.
"Would you believe, like, helping." Shaggy whispered.
"And how is crashing to the floor, making lots of noise and getting the enemies attention helping?" he retorted. Daphne told the vampire that Wesley had found a way to kill the demon.
"What demon?" he asked her. Wesley explained has he handed a book to the vampire.
"The demon Balial is one of the most powerful demons, next to Satan. When summoned, she has the appearance of an angel with big furry wings. If she possess a body, she must sustain it by eating her victim whole. If she so desires, she can destroy the world." The book also had an exorcism spell in it.
"Now we need a plan," Gunn said thinking.
"And I have one," Freddy in an exclaimed whisper. "But first we need those hooded figures to come up here."
"Let me guess, like, Scoob and I are the ones who are going to do that." Shaggy said as Freddy answered with a nod.
"And I'll go with them." Angel said, as he started heading towards the stair. Shaggy and Scooby gulped and followed the vampire.
Velma's pov
"What's going on up there?" Velma wondered. As this thought passed her mind, she noticed Angel coming down fallowed by Shaggy and Scooby. Knowing they had some kind of plan in motion, she did her very best to stay as quiet as possible, but failed as Velma choked back the sob that came to her throat. Hearing the sound, she smiled as Scooby jumped in Shaggy's arms.
"What ras that?" the dog asked.
"Probably one of the girls, they are scared out of their wits." Angel said pointing in the direction of the cages. Scooby climbed out of Shaggy's arms, Velma could see them looking around them. Then Shaggy noticed her. Totally forgetting his mission, he ran to her as Velma stretch her arms out to him.
"Velma!" Shaggy cried out as he tried to hug her.
"Oh Shaggy." she said placing her hand on his check. Feeling a wet nose on her check, Velma did her best to give the Great Dane a hug. Hearing the sound of a throat being cleared, the trio broke the embrace.
"I'm sorry, but we need to get back to the plan." Angel stated.
"What is the plan?" Velma asked. Shaggy explained it to her.
"Well..." she started and point towards the figures that were now slowly approaching them. As Shaggy and Scooby ran towards the stairs, two of the figures fallowed them. Angel, Velma noticed, was not one for runing from a fight. But she urged him to follow her husband's example. With a low growl, the vampire ran.
