The girls looked up, in unison, as their demon master crashed down onto the floor and rushed to help it to its feet. "What do we have to do to break the bloody spell?" Spike called up to them, as he continued to fight Faith, not trying to hurt her all that much, just tire her out.
Alexa looked down at the demon and frowned. "That wasn't as rewarding as I thought that it would be," she said to Angel, as he came up to her side, as they watched Spike and Faith continue to fight. "We really should break them apart."
"I'll deal with them," Angel began, as Alexa jumped over the railing and landed on the floor next to the demon. "You can take care of the demon." He then jumped down next to her side. "Just be careful."
"I always am, Liam," she said as she shot him a smile, as she turned to face the Demon and came face to face with a hand ful of girls. "I don't want to fight you. I really don't have the time." They lunged at her, and she threw them back with a force field and they all landed hard across the room. "See, you really didn't want to make me upset." She then shot a glance over at the demon. "You and I have to have a nice talk."
Angel watched as the girls struggled to get to their feet only to come across another force field and he looked over to see Willow muttering something. "Thank you, Willow," he said to her, as he came up to her side. He then turned his attention back onto Spike and Faith. "Ah, now to stop the fight." He grabbed onto Faith's shirt and yanked her back away from Spike. "This ends now."
"Let go of me, Angel," Faith ordered him, as she fought to get out of his hold but could not. "I said let go, Vampire."
"Easy, Slayer," Spike said to her, as he morphed back to his human face. "You're not thinking straight." Faith continued to fight to get free but Angel wouldn't let her go.
"Yes, Vampire, I am." Alexa shot them both a glance before she turned her attention back on the demon. "You wouldn't be able to beat me."
"Let's think about this, children," Angel said to the both of them, as he shot Spike a look that said 'Don't you dare try it', and he tightened his hold of Faith. "We're here to fight the demon who's enslaved these little girls. Do you remember that?"
"She started it," Spike said, as he looked over at Angel. "And you always take their sides." Just then Alexa slam into Angel and Faith, knocking them to the ground, and Spike looked up to receive a blow to the face from the Demon. "Hey, that was uncalled for."
"You're hurting one of my girls," the demon said to him, as it went over and helped Faith to her feet. "You had no right to attack one of my girls. They are to protect the queen and myself."
"You need them to protect yourself?" Alexa said, as she got to her feet with Angel's help. "Aren't you an all powerful demon?" He shot her a glare that got her to smile. "You're weak without your magic or your body guards."
"Shut your mouth, Vampire," the demon snapped at her. "You have no right to talk to me in that tone. I took away that little girl from you to become our queen, and there wasn't anything that you could do to stop me."
"Leave her alone," Sara cried out, as she bolted into the room with Fred behind her. "Protect Lexie." Faith's eyes flashed silver as she broke free from the demon's hold of her and moved over to stand next to Alexa. "Protect her at all cost from the master."
"Yes, my queen," Faith said, as she looked over at the demon with fire in her eyes. "You will not harm her."
"Then I shall kill you all," the demon sneered, as he lunged at Faith, only to get knocked down by Alexa. "How dare you attack me?"
"You're asking me why." A smile crossed Alexa's face. "I've wanted to be the one who takes you down since the first time that I saw you. You took Sara's parents from her and filled her head with false ideas. She has the right to make up her own destiny, you can't make one for her." He lunged at her but she simply knocked him aside. "You tried to control me, and you failed. You use potentials because they are stronger than normal humans, so you'd have more power and you would be protected. I've seen your kind before and I've never really cared for it."
"You think you know me Alexa, but you're wrong. You are weak compared to the others. You'll end up dead long before they will."
"I got some breaking news for you." Alexa's face morphed to her human one. "I'm all ready dead." She then threw him across the room. "Life doesn't get any worse than this."
"You ever think she's upset about being turned into a vampire?" Spike asked Angel as he came up to his side and kept an eye on Sara. "She's never really told us if she liked it or not."
"Spike, now really isn't the time to talk about that," Giles pointed out, as Alexa went to swing at the demon only to have it knock her down. "Shouldn't we be thinking about other things."
"Right you are, Giles," Spike said, as they watched as the demon took Alexa by the neck and held her off the ground. "That's not good."
"Watch my queen, as I kill this half breed," the demon called out to Sara, who had been stopped by Angel. "Then you'll have no one left to protect you."
"Forgot about me," a voice called out and the demon turned to face Faith. "You can't hurt her." She then attacked the demon. Alexa was thrown to the ground and she looked up as they fought. "You had no right to hurt them." Alexa's human face appeared as she got up to join in the fight alongside the slayer. "You're going down."
