Disclaimer: I never did this for the other chapters but well, here goes. I don't own Charmed, Angel, or Buffy!
Chapter 5
Angel filled them in on the way to the scene. He explained that ever since Cordelia died, her visions passed on to him and that's how he had been getting his information. He further said that he just saw a group of demons circling around three women, who looked dazed.
"Maybe the women are under some sort of spell?" Buffy ventured. Angel nodded and said, "Maybe, but I don't know. I also saw…" and he hesitated. "What, Angel? What did you see?" Buffy prodded.
"I saw claw marks all over their bodies, like it has some kind of ritualistic meaning," he added.
They approached the scene stealthily. It was just Angel, Buffy, Spike and Connor who had come to save the women. The rest were needed to work on the coming apocalypse. They heard a twig snap in front of them and Connor whispered harshly, "Who's there!"
They saw Phoebe and Paige in front of them, crouching, as they hid behind a bush. "Shhhhh!" Paige shushed. "We can take them," Spike said. "It's not like we've never done this before," he continued. Suddenly, his eyes glazed over.
"Hey Angel, doesn't this look familiar?" he asked. Angel looked at Spike and back at the scene. "Oh boy…" Angel said suddenly. "What! What!" Phoebe hissed. "Things are about to get messy, that's what!" Spike explained. But before he could launch into a detailed explanation, the chanting stopped suddenly and all they heard was silence. The demons stood frozen as the women started to scream.
Without warning, three huge alien beings burst forth from their bodies, with high-pitched cries. "Gross!" Paige said, disgust evident on her face. "We've got to kill them now. Once they grow, it'll be quite difficult to get rid of them," Angel said.
"You mean, they're babies!" Phoebe asked, incredulous. Angel nodded. "They're the biggest and most disgusting babies I have ever seen… even for a demon," she said. Paige looked at Spike's axe and immediately called for it, "Axe!" and directed it towards one of the babies.
"Hey! That was mine!" Spike complained. The fighting ensued. An unspoken agreement descended upon them. Angel, Connor and Buffy fought the babies while Phoebe, Paige and Spike fought the demons.
They came back to the manor, all bloodied and drenched in green goo. "I hate demon blood. I hate demon blood," was all Phoebe had been chanting ever since she got home. She and Paige were cleaned up and they passed out towels to their 'guests'.
"So… how was it?" Piper asked. "Without me?" she added. "It was fine! Though we could have used some of that blowing-up power of yours that I keep hearing about," Connor replied.
Piper grinned. "Good boy! Aww, you're such a sweet boy," she said, delight apparent in her voice. Connor turned red and he backed away from potential smothering. "Well, it appears as if Blondie here," Paige nudged her head towards Spike, "and his gang knew about the Fosal demons as well," she said. Angel sulked at being classified under Spike's gang and Spike balked at the mention of 'Blondie'.
Buffy found it amusing that Spike was still bothered about what people thought about the colour of his hair. She was comfortable enough being quiet and letting others do the talking. She had always been the leader and it was time she relinquished the role to someone else… for now. "Fosal demons?" she inquired.
It was Angel who spoke this time. "Fosal demons, or nannies as we used to call them," he said. "Nannies?" Connor asked, obviously amused. "They have only one purpose, that is to impregnate human women with their master's spawn and care for the babies once they burst out from the women," Angel explained.
"Yea, that was kind of gross," Paige added. With that, Buffy and the rest decided to leave. "I suggest we convene regular meetings here, so that we can decide what to do and gather all our work together," Piper said. The rest agreed and they left quickly.
"So!" Phoebe shouted. "Blondie huh," she said. "Well yea, he is kind of cute. I never did know you were partial to blondes, Paige," Phoebe teased.
"What! I just… I just…" Paige sputtered.
"It's okay, Paige. We understand," Piper winked. With that, the two sisters left the living room, leaving a very embarrassed Paige behind.
A/N: It's quite short, but I was reading up the previous chapters and decided to complete this one. Yes, I know Charmed has moved forward and Chris is gone! (nooooooooooo!) but fan fiction rules so I can do anything I want! Muahahahahahahaha! Ahemm..
