"Protect your queen," Sara cried out to the girls as they headed towards her. "Kill them if you have to, but they shall not harm me." She coward away in fear as the girls began to attack the others. "The Master will not want you to fail."
"Somebody shut that kid up," Spike said, as he grabbed onto two little girls and threw them down. "This isn't bloody right. We shouldn't be fighting children."
"That's fine with me, Spike," Faith said, as she came up towards him. "How about you fight a Slayer?" Spike shot Angel a smile as he lunged forward to attack the once Rogue Slayer. "Wanna see if you can take me down?"
"Sounds fun," he said, as he lashed out at her noticing the others moving towards Sara. "I've always had a thing for Slayers."
"I know." Faith got a kick into Spike's chest sending him across the room. "And here I thought you were be a better sparring mate."
Alexa grabbed onto Sara from behind and she let out a blood churning scream, as she fought the vampire to get free. "Let me go," she demanded. "I am your Queen."
"No, pet, you're not," Alexa said, as she leaped up onto the balcony above them and let go of Sara. "You're not the Demon's queen, Sara. You're a little girl, who's a potential to become a Slayer. You're destiny is to fight evil, not bring it into the world." She blocked Sara's punch as the little girl began to attack her. "Stop."
"You're not my mother, vampire," Sara snapped, as she looked up at her with eyes full of anger. "You'll never replace her. You're a demon. You have no soul. You have no destiny."
"I have made my own destiny." Alexa threw her back onto a couch. "It was to protect you. I saw something very special in you when I first saw you. I saved you from being killed that night. If I hadn't been for me, that Demon would not have chosen you to be their queen. You're small and useless to them. They didn't make you a fighter because they knew that you were weak. You're just a weak, human female. Only good for food or to be a vessel for their off spring."
"Then why didn't he choose the others to be the queen? Why did he choose me?"
"Ask him yourself." Sara then spun around to face the Demon and her face fell. "Master." She dropped to her knees in front of him. "I've not betrayed you. They tried to take me away from you." He placed a clawed hand on her shoulder and she shivered in fear. "I'm sorry, Master."
"You did well, Vampire," the Demon said to her, as he looked over Sara at Alexa. "I should have made you the queen, not this clingy child."
"You choose her because she was a potential and you thought with her being stronger than most girls, you might have a better chance at bringing offspring into this world." She then came over and hunched down next to Sara. "Do you really think that I had other plans for you child?" Sara looked at Alexa in fear before Alexa punched the demon and threw him back away from them. "Cause I did." She then grabbed the back of Sara's shirt and threw her off the balcony. "Liam, catch her."
Angel's head snapped up at the command and looked up to see Sara come flying over the balcony. He lunged forward and caught her in his arms. "Easy," he said to her, as he looked up to see the Demon walked towards Alexa. "Fred, Wesley, take her." He then handed her over to them, before heading off to help Alexa. "Keep an eye on her."
"You tricked me," the demon sneered at Alexa as Angel came up behind her. "What are you?"
Alexa's face morphed into her vampire one as he came closer to her. "Vampire, idiot." She then slammed a fist into his face dropping him. "You have no right to feast on little girls. They have their entire lives ahead of them."
"You're a vampire who used to eat children because they tasted sweeter than adults." Alexa paused and he got a hold of her throat. "Don't think I don't know who you are Alexa." He then threw her back into Angel. "I know all about you wanna be good vampires. Angelus, William the Bloody, and Crafty Alexa. You don't fool me. You're still evil to the bone."
"Well that's nice to know that we got fans," Alexa muttered to Angel as she leaped to her feet. "So how come now you decided after living a very long life, to choose potential slayers to be your queens?" She brushed the dirt off of her duster before looking back at the demon. "It's a very smart idea. That way you don't have to worry about the Slayers coming after you." She paused and shot him a smile. "I wish I had thought of that."
"Vampires weren't always the smartest of the half breeds." Alexa morphed her face back into her human one. "You can pass as a human but you are not one of them."
"This, I really ready knew." She shot a glance back at Angel. "What shall we do with this pitiful demon, Angelus?"
"Angelus?" the demon gasped, and Alexa smelt its fear. "You're good now. You have a soul. So you can't be Angelus."
"We kinda lost his soul," Alexa said, as she went up and curled up onto Angel's side. "You know how close we were, right? You know about everything else." She then shot a glance over the balcony at the girls. "Thank you for bringing us dinner."
"You're going to eat those girls?" The demon shot a glance at the girls and he frowned. "That's just wrong."
"Oh, really." Alexa left Angel's side and went up to him. "You said that they were nothing. I do crave children's blood more than I do adults." She then grabbed onto its arm and brought it down to its knees. "Here's the deal. You leave these girls alone including the ex-slayer and Sara, and I won't kill you."
"I have a vampire's word?" It then laughed. "That's touching." He threw Alexa back into Angel and then got to his feet. "I would have thought that you would have taught this one better manners, Angelus." He brushed off his clothes and shot the girls a frown. "Well I'm off to find another queen. Goodbye Angelus."
"You want to tell him or should I?" Alexa asked Angel only to have the demon stop and turn to face him. "He's still Angel and you're done with turning girls into your queens. It's not a good business to be in."
"What are you going to do?"
"Stop you of course." She grabbed onto his arm and threw him over the balcony. He crashed on the lobby floor below them. "Oops, did I do that."
