To Alexa surprise the demon did rather well up against both herself and the once rogue slayer. "Okay, this isn't going the way I wanted it to," she said, as she picked herself up after being knocked to the floor. "You're the one who's supposed to be going down, not me."
"I will live forever," the demon sneered at her. "You and this mere girl will not kill me. The power I have over that little girl." He pointed to Sara. "...will keep me alive for ages. She will die and another will take her place. It's been this way for many years."
"You see, that plans sucks, so I'm not going to let you to go along with it." Alexa took a step towards the demon. "You picked with the wrong little girl to mess with." She then morphed back to her human face.
"And what you could have given her a better life? You're a vampire. Your goals in life are to feed and make more vampires. You don't care about the humans, they are food to you. They are weaker than you. You'll outlive them and that doesn't bother you at all. Your heart is as dark as mine is, as is your soul."
"Vampire's don't have souls, idiot." Alexa then attacked it, in the stomach with a kick that sent it back a few feet. "I thought that you knew that, being that you know so much about our kind." She then shot Faith a smile as she came up to her side. "And I'm not all that mean to humans. There are some good ones out there and some bad ones. You just have to eat the bad ones and keep the good ones alive to keep the world going."
"That's pitiful." It blocked Faith's next attack and threw the slayer across the floor. "Are these humans worth risking your life for? What have they done for you? Surely that child hasn't done anything all that important."
"She keeps me human." The demon shot her a frown, as it threw out its hand and Sara came flying across the room to its side. "Don't you dare hurt her." Alexa put up her hand as Angel and Spike rushed over to her side. "If you do, you're going to die for sure."
"I would never hurt my queen," it said, as it ran a finger alongside Sara's face. "She's so innocent, so full love, life, and dreams. You really should see what she's thinking." Before they knew what it was doing, the demon said something and an orange ball hit Alexa, causing her to fall to the ground. Images and visions went through her head like a bullet. She quickly put her hands over her ears to block the screams. "Now you see what she sees." Angel hunched down next to Alexa and put a hand on her back steading her.
"Let go of me," Sara pleaded, causing the vampires to look up at her. "Release me. I'm your queen. You do as I say." She tried to get away from it but could not. "Do as I have ordered you. Let go of me."
"No, my queen, I cannot allow you to return to them," the demon said, as it took a tighter hold onto Sara. "In time, you will forget them. The visions will soon drive the vampire insane enough that she commits suicide. Then there will be no one left to fight me for you."
"There's always me," Angel said, as he got to his feet. "You don't have the right to do what you're doing."
"We've always had the right. It's in our genes. It's basic instincts for us to survive in this world." Sara then began to cry in fear and it sighed. "It would be so much easier if we didn't have to pick mere female children to be the ones to bring our offspring into the world. They are so hard to get collected then trained so that they don't break the codes. We want ones who will die for us, not try to kill us." It snarled at Faith, who was helping Spike help Alexa to her feet. "But never in all my years, have I meet a vampire who took so much care into one child. I don't see the connection between them, but I do know that it's strong. It was that connection that made it easy for me to turn her against you in the first place."
"She loves me," Sara said, causing the demon to drop her. The moment she hit the floor, she rushed over to Angel's side. "I keep her human. That's why the bond between us is so strong." Sara then went over to Alexa's side and put a hand on her arm. "I'm here, Lex."
"She doesn't have much longer to live, my queen." Sara looked back at the demon. "If you come with me peacefully, I will let that messily half breed to live. Don't, and she dies within the hour." Tears soon began to run down Sara's face as she looked from the demon to Alexa, torn between doing something that would save her friend's life and something that would bring the world to an end. "Times up, what's your decision?"
"I'm coming with you." Sara moved away from the others and towards the demon. "Now stop the visions." The demon grabbed her arm and headed for the doors. "You said that you would stop them."
"I lied." Then they were gone in a whoosh of grey fog.
"Lex?" Spike called out to her, as she let out a loud scream as she fell to her knees. "Lex."
"I'm going to kill him," Lex said, as she struggled to her feet. "That bastard hook me up with a direct feed out from the Powers That Be. The visions I'm seeing, are not from Sara, but from everyone in the world who needs help. You, humans, are always in trouble." She shook her head as she looked around. "Okay, here's the plan. We go after that demon, get Sara back, and kick its ass until next year. I'm tired of its childlike mind games. It's really pissing me off and that's never a good thing."
"No, it's not," Spike said, as he followed her towards the door. "You tend to get moody and very independent."
"Ah, Spike, you remember," Alexa said, as she turned to face the girls. "Let's see what they know." She went over to them. "You're queen is gone. Where is she?" They didn't answer her. "Okay, let's do this another way." She morphed into her vampire face. "For every wrong answer, I'm going to eat one of you. I do enjoy children's blood." The girl's eyes filled with fear and she smiled. "Now answer my question."
