"Hello, Love," Spike said, as he moved around the car to stand next to Angel. "Do you remember her yet, Angelus?"
"No, Spike, I do not," Angel snapped, as he looked at the girl. "I just can't remember."
"Of course not, Angelus," the girl said, as she came closer to them. "The spell that was cast by Darla did the trick. You never even looked back at me when you left me there to die."
"Darla?" both Angel and Spike mouthed.
"Then bloody hell, why can't I remember you?" Spiked asked her, as she looked over at him with anger in her eyes. "I would remember a twig like you."
"Would you now, William?" she said, as she put away her bow. "You're just the same way you were back then."
"Okay, Love, care to tell us who you are. Since you already know us so well."
"Angelus is starting to remember." Spike then turned over to see that Angel had a confused look on his face. "Isn't that right, Liam?"
At the word Liam, a fuzzy memory flashed through Angel's mind. It showed the girl in Spike's arms. "She's not one of mine, Spike."
"Okay, let's get this straight." Spike then looked from Angel to the girl to Angel again. "She's one of mine?"
"Yeah, that part I remember, but I don't know why. You sired her one night after a few too many drinks at the local pub."
"So she's a vampire?"
"Yes, you Idiot, I'm a bloody vampire." A crunching noise caused them to looked over to see that she had morphed into her vampire face. "And you still don't remember me, William. That hurts."
"Sorry, Love." A movement behind the girl caught Spike's attention. "Took you long enough."
"Sorry, we're late," Gunn called out, as he, Wesley, and Fred came up behind the girl. She spun around to face them with a growl and bared her fangs at them. "Well, hello."
Spike moved up next to Angel as he watched the girl looked at the three humans in front of her. "They don't stand a chance, do they?" he asked him.
"Not really," Angel said.
"Out of my way!" the girl demanded, as her face morphed back to her human face. "I don't want to hurt you."
"No," Wesley said, as he pulled out a sword and started to move towards her. "We need to talk."
"No, we don't." In a blurred movement, the girl grabbed onto Fred's arm and threw her high into the air. Angel lunged forward, catching Fred in his arms, and they slammed hard onto the ground. The girl paused for a second to shoot a glance over at Angel with Fred in his arms. "Hmm. Strange." Sheblocked a blow from both Gunn and Wesley. "Humans are so easy to break." She then threw them back hard to the ground. "I would play some more, but I don't have time to play with mere children."
"What about me?" Spike asked her from behind and the she turned to receive a blow to the face. "You're been a very naughty girl." The girl then went into action with a combo of kicks and punches. Spike was able to block some and some he wasn't able to. "Where did you learn to fight?"
"You taught me. Liam taught me some. Then a whole bunch of humans taught me."
"I taught you," a voice called out, and the girl spun around to face Angel. "You have more of Spike's style than you do mine."
"You taught me more with swords and weapons." She slammed a kick into Spike's chest sending him to the ground. "But I think I know when I'm not wanted here." She ran a hand through her hair and looked over at Fred. "You saved a human? Why?"
"I've changed since we've last seen each other."
"I sense that you have." Shelooked over to see that Spike was getting up. "As much as I would like to get the chance to be able to catch up with you guys, I have to leave. The humans might do something stupid and they'd soon regret it."
"You're leaving?" Spiked asked, as he looked at her when he came up next to Angel. "But we were having so much fun."
"We'll do this another time when the humans aren't around." Shespun around and knocked the sword out of Wesley's hands. "I wouldn't do it if I was you and wanted to live."
"Wes, let her go," Angel said and Gunn and Wesley backed away, as the girl picked up the sword.
"Hmm, nice sword," the girl said to Angel, as she turned and tossed him the sword. "Kinda looks like the one, you first taught me one. You always were one to collect books and weapons. A trait that I picked up on."
"Really?" Angel threw the sword back at the girl and she caught it single handed. "Nice catch."
"I learned from one of the best vampires in the entire world." She looked down at the sword and frowned. "Other children grew up on fairy tales of elves who made shoes, and I grew up on legends of vampires."
"Doesn't sound so horrible," Spike put in, as she looked at him. "Vampire legends are good to listen to." The girl then threw the sword at Spike and he caught it. "Easy with this things. You can cut someone's arm off."
The girl shot Spike a smile. "We'll meet again, William, Liam." Then she was gone in a blur of movement and Angel caught sight of her up on the roof of the building.
"Okay, you want to fill us in," Gunn said, as he and Wesley slowly got to their feet, as Angel went over to Fred and helped her to her feet. "Who was that girl?"
"She was shocked that you saved me," Fred pointed out, as she rubbed her arm from where the girl had grabbed her.
"Here's your sword," Spike said to Wesley, as he handed him his sword. "Next time don't try to loose it."
"Thanks," Wesley said, as Angel went over and looked at the girl's bow and quiver that she had forgotten. "Who's the girl?"
"Spike come look at this," Angel said and Spike came over to look. Spike's face fell the moment he saw them.
"Who is she?" Gunn asked again.
"That's Alexa," both vampires said in unison.
