"Hello, Angel, Spike," Faith said, as she looked at them then over to Alexa. "And who's this?"
"Name's Lex," Alexa said, as she turned her attention back to the lock that kept the door to Sara's cage closed. "Nothing more you need to know." She pulled out one of her daggers and broke the lock. "Who is she?"
"That there is Faith,a vampire slayer," Spike said to Alexa, as she took up a very shaky Sara in her arms.
"You were sent here to save the others," Alexa said to Faith, as Sara went from her arms to Angel, who had no other choice but to take her. "Very brave of you to come alone."
"Faith does better when she's by herself," Angel said, as he looked over at the other girls. "Do you know what he has planned for them?"
"They're going to protect me," Sara said, as she reached out and touched a girl's hand. "I'm going to be the new queen. It's their job to protect me."
"Sara, honey, you're not their queen," Spike said to her, as Faith came up to them. "We're not going to allow them to make you their queen."
"But I was chosen above them all," Sara said, as she looked at Faith. "Even above her." Faith frowned, as she hunched down in front of Sara. "I know who you are. You're a slayer. A chosen one. One who will protect the world from evil."
"Okay, but who are you?" Faith asked her, and Sara frowned at her words. "Who are you inside. Who's the little girl that I see before me."
"I'm Sara, the newest demon queen. I will bear forth the off spring that will rules this world."
"No, you're not," Alexa said, as she grabbed a hold of Sara by the back of her shirt. "You listen to me." She then morphed her face into her vampire one and Sara's eyes grew wide with fear. "You are not the newest Demon queen. You are Sara, a five-year-old girl, who has her entire life in front of her. You are a potential Slayer."
"No, I'm not." Tears began to run down Sara's face. "I'm no body. He said so. This is my destiny. If I go against it, I'm a no body. I'll die."
"He's going to have to come through me to kill you." Alexa then morphed back into her human face. "You know that I wouldn't let anything harm you."
"Oh, how quant," a voice called out from behind them, and Faith spun around to face the Demon. "I thought I told you to protect the queen." He raised a hand to strike Faith, but she backed away. "You're useless."
"No, she's not," Alexa said, as she got to her feet and handed Spike Sara. "She's a Slayer. She's one of the good people. And she's going to kick your butt."
"I think not." The Demon made a noise and five demons rushed out of nowhere at them with weapons drawn. "My friends here want to have some fun."
"Oh, goodie," Alexa said, as pulled out her daggers and got ready to fight, noticing that Faith was doing the same. "Okay, let's see what the Slayer can do."
"I'll show you," Faith said, as they rushed at the Demon, jumping in to the fight. "I've been itching for a good fight for a very long time."
"You will not beat me," the Demon said, as he came up behind Alexa and grabbed her by the neck. "You're pathetic. You're a mere vampire. You're a young one, at the looks of it. You've got a lot to learn."
"I know a lot of tricks," Alexa said, as she slammed a foot back into the Demon's leg and an elbow into his chest. He let her go as he was stunned at what she did. She then turned to face the Demon. "I may not be as old as you are, but I'm older than you think."
"Oh, really?" The Demon hit her in the face and Alexa's face morphed. "Still look like a mere vampire to me." The Demon went down with Faith slammed a kick into its back and it turned to face her. "What? Do you want to play?"
"Yeah, I do." Faith slammed a punched into its head, knocking it back into Alexa, who then kicked him back towards Faith. "Now, why would you choose a five-year-old to become your queen and not someone older than that?"
"She's been the one chosen to be our queen before she was born," the demon said, as Alexa shot a glance over to see that Spike and Angel were fighting, but there was no sign of Sara any way. "The Elders picked her out of everyone. They looked past the older ones, for they knew that a young one could easily be manipulated into thinking that this was the only life for them." The Demon grabbed Alexa's arm when she went in for an attack and threw her into Faith, knocking the slayer down. He then took off down into the tunnels.
"Ow," Faith said, as Alexa jumped to her feet. "That hurt."
"Sorry," Alexa said, as she turned to face the vampires. "Where is Sara?"
"I just put her down for a second, love," Spike began as he looked around. "The little bit must have taken off."
"I have to find her," Alexa said, as she moved past Faith, but the Slayer caught her arm. "Let me go."
"You don't know where she went," Faith pointed out. "There could be Demons waiting for you."
"Then they're going to wish that they never met me," Alexa said, as she morphed her face and Faith took a fighting stance. "I see the Slayer in you." She slowly made her way over to Angel and shot him a smile. "She'll be good to have around." She then took off down the tunnel in her search for Sara.
"So what are we now supposed to do?" Spike asked, after watching Alexa bolt off. "What about the girls?"
"Free them," Faith said, as she started to work on the locks of the cages. "This way, we can at least save some of their lives."
"Good plan." Spike then began to break the locks and helped some of the girls out of their cages.
"Get them out of here, Spike," Angel ordered, as he took on an attacking demon. "Now, Spike."
"I'm on it," Spike answered, as he looked down at the squadron of girls around him. "Follow me." Heled the way out of the tunnel and towards the parking ramp.
"Slayer," a small voice called out from behind Faith, and she spun around to face Sara bleeding from a cut on her forehead. "You were supposed to protect me, I'm your queen."
"No, pet, you're not," a voice called out from behind Sara and she spun around to face Angel. "It's good to see you again, Sara."
"You're a vampire. You can't hurt me."
"But I can." Sara turned around only to receive a punch in the face, rendering her unconscious.
