"We'll be back when we've found a bit more cash money! Keep the girls warm!" Liam yelled as he was drunk after he got thrown out a pub.

The Tavern Proprietor slams the door shut, and Liam pounds on it a couple of times.

(Moans) "Let's go," Liam's friend moans

Liam staggers back over to him and puts his arm around him. They begin to walk with a definite sway in their step.

"Come on. We'll sneak in and take some of me father's silver. He'll never miss it. He eats with his hands, the pig," Liam said

His friend is too drunk to go on, and faints dead away, falling out of Liam's arm to the pavement. Liam looks down at him.

"Ah. Why don't you rest right here," Liam says

He takes a look around and spots a noble lady in a fancy period dress standing in an alley beyond an archway. The woman gives a slight backwards glance to be sure she has his attention, and starts to walk further into the alley, disappearing around a corner from Liam's view. He fallows her.

The woman continues her slow pace and looks up when Liam comes through the archway and begins to speak. As she is faced away.

"So, I'd ask myself . . . What's a lady of your station doing alone in an alley with the reputation that this one has?" Liam says

"Maybe she's lonely," Darla said still facing away from him

"In that case, I'd offer myself as escort to protect you from harm and to while away the dull hours," Liam said

"You're very gracious," Darla said

"Hm. It's often been said," Liam said

"Are you certain you're up to the challenge?" Darla said turning around to face him.

"Milady, you'll find out that with the exception of an honest day's work, There's no challenge I'm not prepared to face," Liam says approaches her

He stops in front of her and look into her eyes.

"Oh . . . But you're a pretty thing. Where are you from?" Liam said

"Around. Everywhere," Darla said while smiling

"I never been anywhere myself. Always wanted to see the world, but . . .," Liam said while trailing off

"I could show you," Darla said smiling

"Could you, then?" Liam asked

"Things you've never seen, never even heard of," Darla said

"Sounds exciting," Liam said

"It is. And frightening," Darla said

"I'm not afraid. Show me. Show me your world," Liam said

"Close your eyes," Darla said while doing the same thing.

Liam follows her example. She puts her hand on his shoulder, and than she wamps out. She smiles as she bites him. He can't keep steady so he falls to his knees. Darla let's go as she lifts her hand to her chest as she draws blood and than pulls Liam's head to make him drink.

And now Angelus is born.
