Angel thought fast he couldn't fight but Buffy couldn't face Demrahc alone. He struggled and tore at his bonds ignoring the pain that shot through him in sweeping rushes. He ripped and they loosened allowing him to break free, he fell to the floor with a thud pain yet again shooting through his straining muscles.
Angel watched from the floor as Buffy snap kicked Demrahc's abdomen but like he had to Angel it did not faze him. He just smiled hauntingly again.
That pissed Angel off and with a groan he lunged at him grabbing at his horns and pulling with all his might he tore them out.
Demrahc screamed in pain as his fist connected with Angels face sending him reeling backward. Buffy watched as Angel yet again hit the floor holding on to the demons horns then glanced at the demon. What had Angel called him…. Demrahc? Who was holding his face in his hands as blood dripped to the floor mixing with the dirt.
Buffy watched in amazement as Demrahc pulled his hands down and new sharper thorns burst through his scared head then he grinned. Oh boy was the only thought Buffy had before the demon grabbed her in a vice like grip pulling her close to his black-blooded face.
But she never got there, Demrahc howled in pain dropping Buffy in his small pool of blood as he turned snarling on Angel.
Angel snarled as he morphed into his inner demon. The bumps prodding out onto his forehead, fangs glinting in the pale glow cast from the boiling pits of magma. They circled each other slowly stalking their prey.
Angel reacted first slamming into Demrahc, but it was like hitting stone. He would not budge; Demrahc having the upper hand snatched Angel up in his grasp and prepared to throw him into the magma-a killing strike.
He never got there…
Buffy lunged back into the fight, thrusting her fist into Demrahc's back. Making him reel over finally feeling pain-dropping Angel in the process. Angel hit the ground the breath nocked out of him while Buffy continued to hit Demrahc: in the stomach in the back in the chest over and over.
"You can mess with me but you cant mess with my boyfriend!" Buffy said with finality and kicking Demrahc in the back of the head she sent him to his knees. "You've got a deadly surprise" Buffy exclaimed with triumph and twisted Demrahc's head around creating a sicking cracking sound that echoed off the walls.
Demrahc's soulless form fell to the floor with a thud igniting into flames the reeking ashes falling to mix with the dirt. And finally becoming still.
"Angel?" Buffy whispered rushing to his still form. His skin was charred and crumbling. "Angel?" Buffy asked tears in her eyes threatening to spill at any time,
"Buffy…" Angel gasped trying to turn over, he grunted in immense pain and lay still opening his eyes he gazed up at Buffy his head in her lap. "Is Demrahc dead?" Angel asked.
"He needed a little down time" Buffy replied. Seeing Angels confused look Buffy said "he's dead".
"Oh" Angel remarked.
"Lets get you out of here" Buffy said kneeling so she could help pull Angel gently to his feet. Angel groaned his body not coping with the pain and pressure of his weight on charred limbs. "Easy" Buffy said once Angel was standing upright with assistance.
Angel glanced up toward his living room and sighed, "How are we going to get out?" he asked pleasantly staring at Buffy.
"Oh and here I was hoping we could stay down here, its soooo nice and cosy…." Seeing Angels inquiring look she sighed and said, "I don't know".
"Buffy are you down there?" a questioning voice asked as a head popped over the hole into the view of Buffy and Angel.
"Willow!" Buffy cried, "What are you doing here, no don't tell me I just want to bask…ok im basked what are you doing here?"
"Well you didn't show up in the library this morning so I got a little worried then remembered you telling me you were going to Angels, so I came to check in with Angel" Willow finished taking in a gasp of air and looked down on them "Oh Angel your hurt!" she exclaimed.
"Willow can you get us outa here?" Buffy inquired "as much as I love being in a deep dank and laver hot hole im sure up there is much more better for my completion".
"We can get you out Buff" Xander replied sticking his head down the hole, "Now what have I told you about going down strange holes missy? Hmm?" Xander teased throwing down rope.
Catching it Buffy smiled and replied "nothing"
"Oh well that did so much for my manly pride" Xander resorted "couldn't you just make up something?"
"Xander could you please shut up!" Giles said in his British accent staring down at the ascending pair.
Glancing up from her work she exclaimed in dismay "you bought Giles! You might as well have bought my mother".
Reaching the top Giles stated, "Now hold on just a second, what did you mean by that"
"That your not going to be happy with where I was before school and tell me that tardiness is not acceptable" Buffy replied. Giles stared at her in shock too startled to speak.
"Wow that's a really big hole" Willow exclaimed "doesn't everyone think it's a really big hole?" she repeated nervously trying to change the subject.
"Yea it's a big hole Will" Xander stated, would anyone like to go to school?" he asked looking at both Willow and Giles.
"Oh…Oh yes…. to school" Giles replied catching Xanders hidden meaning, "Well Buffy we will continue this conversation later". Giles said before they left.
Buffys P.O.VAngel was a bloody mess: his hair was mattered with blood and soot debris, his clothes (or rather what was left of his clothes) hung off his daunt form as he lay on the couch bits of scaled flesh were visible through rips and tears caked with blood. His face was covered with blood and bruises a long gash ran down the left side of his face and his wrists and hands bore healing rope burns where the skin had been rubbed raw in his sudden struggle to break free.
Angels P.O.V
Buffy's clothes were covered in soot and blood both her own, Angels and Demrahc's. She sported small bruises on her face and arms and a slight cut ran down her arm. Over all she was far better off than he was.
Buffy helped him to his room and cleaned his wounds and burns. Finally when Angel could bear her soft touch no more he sent her to school and lay in the dark…in the shadows where he belonged and pondered who Demrahc was and if there were others.
Buffy P.O.VI walked through the deserted school toward the library and pushing the door open entered. Everyone was there skipping classes to demand what had happened at Angels and why there was a hole in the floor.
They all turned to stare at me as I entered taking in my soot-streaked face and blood caked clothing without saying a word I lowered myself into a chair and stared at Giles as I began to tell them all about Demrahc.
