"Can't we talk about this?" Spike asked, as the Demon threw the little girl at them. Angel caught her before she hit the ground. "Good catch."
"Lexie," Sara cried out, as she fought to get free from Angel's hold of her, and help Alexa. "Don't you dare hurt her." She swung a punch at Angel. "Let me go, I have to help her."
"No, little one, you don't," Spike said to her, as Angel passed her over to him before rushing in to help Alexa. "Angel's going to help her."
"Who are you?" Sara asked him, as she looked up at him. "Why is your hair so white?"
"You sure ask a lot of questions for a child," Spike said to her, as Wesley and Fred came running towards them. "Fred, take the girl." He then handed her Sara. "Fred, Sara, Sara, Fred."
"You have a boy's name," Sara said to Fred as she took her into Angel's office and shut the door. "Why do you have a boy's name?"
"It's short for Winifred," Fred replied, as the sound of fighting became louder and Alexa burst through the doors. She landed hard on her back and shot Sara a smile.
"Hey, squirt," she said, as she jumped to her feet. "Do me a favor, draw me a picture." She then ran out into the lobby to join back into the fight.
"Lexie takes good care of me," Sara said to Fred, as she climbed up into Angel's chair and began to draw on a blank piece of paper. "She saved me from the Demon."
"Really," Fred said, as the Demon throw Alexa into Wesley knocking him down. "Careful."
"Lexie's always careful," Sara said, not looking up from her drawing. "You don't have to worry about her."
"I kind of figured that," Fred answered, as she hunched down next to the desk to look at the picture of Alexia that Sara was drawing fairly well. "That's really good."
"It's Lexie."
"I kinda figured that one out on my own." Sara then began to draw onto to the picture, drawing yet another face of Alexa, her vampire side. "You know that she's a vampire?"
"Yeah, I do." Sara continued to draw while the fight continued in the lobby. "But I don't care. She takes care of me."
In the lobby, the Demon had three more come of nowhere to help him fight. "This is not going to be easy," Wesley said, as he was knocked down to the ground again. "They keep coming."
"Looks that way," Alexa said as she cut off one of the Demon's head and the Demon fell to the ground. "Sorry about the mess."
"It's okay," Angel said, as he took down anther Demon, only to have another one take it's place. "We got a great cleaning service."
"They just keep coming," Spike said as he took down another Demon. "Were are they all coming from?"
"From him," Alexa said, as she pointed to a bald man chanting spells in the far corner. "I don't recognize the spell."
"It's to make the fallen to be replaced by two," Wesley said, as he slowly got to his feet. "For every one that we take down, another two will take its place."
"So in other words, shut up the bald man," Alexa said, as she grabbed her knife and threw it at the man, catching him in the stomach. He fell down to his knees and the chanting stop. "Why didn't you say that before?"
"Because it never accorded to me, that's why," Wesley replied.
"Children, behave," Spike said, as the last demons turned to look at the bald men then turned to look at them. "We're not done fighting them just yet."
"Then let's finish this," Alexa said as she twirled her daggers around. "I'm growing tired of this."
Flashback
Alexa watched as Angelus began to practice with his swords. "What are you doing, Liam?" she asked him, as she came up to him, and he spun around with a sword ready to attack her. "Easy, I'm on your side, remember."
"Lex, what are you doing here?" Angelus asked her, as he let the sword arm drop to his side. "Why are you bothering, Dru, Darla, or Spike?"
"Because I wanted to spend time with you, Liam," she replied, as she took up a sword. "Can you teach me to fight with these things?"
"Why would you want to learn that?" Angelus came over and took the sword from her hand. "You could hurt yourself on these things."
"I wouldn't hurt myself," Alexa said, as she took the sword back and turned it in her hands. "My father used to make weapons for a living. So as a child, I was always surrounded by very sharp objects."
"Then why didn't your father teach you?" Angelus asked, as he took the sword from her again. "That way, I don't have to waist my time teaching you."
Present Day
"Lex," Angel called out, as he tossed her a sword, as she lost her daggers as a Demon charged at her.
"Thanks," she replied, as she cut the Demon's head off. "Where's the leader?"
"Fred," Wesley said, as he rushed into Angel's office and knelt down to a wounded Fred. "You all right?"
"Where's Sara?" Alexa asked, as she came up to them, leaving Spike and Angel to take down the remaining two Demons.
"The Demon came out of now where and attacked me," Fred started, as Spike and Angel came up to them. "He then grabbed Sara and took off."
"Damn it," Alexa yelled, before she threw the sword into the wall, not but a foot away from Angel. "I promised her that I would protect her."
"We'll find her, Lex," Angel said, as he went over to her side.
"I hope so, because if we don't, I'm going to have to kill her, and I don't really want to." She then left the room.
"So what should we do?" Fred asked, as Wesley and Spike carefully help her to her feet.
"Try to find the Demon," Angel said as he started to follow Alexa only to pause a moment to grab the sword from the wall. "I'm going after Alexa. We need to talk some more."
