Alexa looked up into the face of a young red haired woman, standing next to a man who looked very tired. "Hello," Alexa said, as she moved to go towards Sara only to come across a force field of some sort. "Ah, a witch." Alexa looked over at the young witch. "Haven't seen one of your kind more a few decades." She then turned to go back to Sara and across the field again, and she let out a sigh. "Enough with the childish games."
"Sounds good to me," the red-haired witch said, as she turned and shot Angel a smile. "Hello guys."
"Hello, Willow," Angel replied, as he looked at her. "It's good to see that you guys got here as fast as you could. Hello, Giles."
"Who's this?" Giles asked, as he pointed to Alexa. "Another vampire."
"What gave you that clue?" Alexa morphed into her vampire face. "Does this help?"
"Giles don't," Angel said, as he came up next to them. "She's a good vampire. She's just lost right now."
"Enough with these child tricks." Alexa said a foreign word and sent a blue ball towards Willow. She threw up a shield just at the last minute. "Good, you're not as young as you look." She then looked over that the girls who were starting to look scared. "Protect the queen. I'm going to have a little fun with the witch." She turned to face Willow. "This shall be fun."
"She's under the Demon's spell," Angel whispered to Willow, as he looked at Alexa. "But be careful. She still has her vampire strength and speed."
"Thanks for the heads up, Angel," Willow said to him, as she turned and looked at the vampire. "But I think I'll be okay."
"Don't get kill," Giles said, as they moved away, as the two began to circle each other.
"Smart words," Alexa said, as her face morphed back into her human one. "For a human."
"He's a very smart man," Willow said, as she kept her eyes on the vampire. "Much smarter than you'll ever be."
"Oh, really?" The vampire crossed her arms over her chest and gave the young witch a look. "I've probably eaten a dozen of his type before. All smart, all knowing. In the end, they all tend to taste the same." Alexa could hear Willow's heart beating faster and she smiled. "Nothing tastes better than fear."
"She got that part right," Spike whispered to Faith, only to have the Slayer elbow him. "I was just agreeing with her."
"Don't make me stake you," Faith said to him, as they watched as Alexa and Willow kept circling each other. "Oh, come on, fight all ready."
That got Spike to chuckle. "Patience, Slayer." They heard a gasp, and turned to see that Alexa had Willow down on her knees. "Oh, darn. I thought that the little witch could surely take her down."
"I thought you would have given me more of a challenge," Alexa sneered at Willow as she threw her down to the ground. "Guess not." Shegot to her feet, brushed her hands off on her pants, and looked at Angel. "It's been fun, Liam, but I have to take our queen now. The demon needs her now."
"We won't let that happen," Angel said, as he went to attack Alexa only to have her throw him into Willow. "Sorry, Willow."
"I'm okay." They shot a glance over to see that Alexa was heading for Sara. "But she's going down." A bolt of blue energy hit Alexa square in the back, dropping her to her knees. "I won't allow her to hurt those girls." Spike went over to look at Alexa to find her out cold.
"She's out cold," Spike said to Angel, as he helped Willow to her feet. "Good shoot, Willow."
"Thanks." Willow then shot a glance down at Alexa to see her in her human face. "She looks so innocent."
"She's not." Spike grabbed a set of restraints from Wesley and bound her hands together. "She's a little hell demon, trapped in a vampire's body." He then frowned as he looked down at her. "I've forgotten why I sired her in the first place."
"I always wanted to know that," Angel said, as he came up next to Spike. "There had to be some reason for you to do it."
"What does the Demon want with that little girl?" Willow asked, as she came up to them and looked down at Alexa. "Why not an older girl?"
"Because she's special," Alexa mumbled, as she slowly began to regain consciousness. "She's different from all the other potential ones." She then slipped back under.
"So why did the spell effect Alexa?" Fred asked, as she came up to them. "She isn't a potential."
"No, she's not," Angel said. "But since she's all ready protecting Sara, the bond between them all ready was stronger than the Demon hoped to ever get between Sara and one of the potentials. So he tricked her and placed a stronger spell on Lex."
"Why was she going to hurt the other girls?"
"She wasn't going to hurt them," Faith said, as she came up to them. "She was going to protect the queen. Our queen."
"Not you too," Spike said, as he looked at Faith. "Makes sense though. The slayer would be the one who would fight the spell the longest."
"Don't worry, Spike," Faith said, as she shot him a smile. "I'll go easy on you. You won't have to suffer all that much longer." She pulled out a stake and took a step towards him. "See with the Demon, I have all the power in the world at my fingertips."
"No, Slayer, you got it all wrong," a voice called out from behind Faith and she turned around to get a punch in the face from a very weaken Alexa. "You're weak." She slammed a kick into the Slayer's chest, knocking her back. "The Demon may have promised you overwhelming power and all, but in the end, you will not see any of it. Why? Because you'll be dead." She then punched Faith in the head, knocking her out, and she turned to face Sara. "Let's do this. I want the little girl I rescued back."
