Chapter 17 A Cold day leads to freezing nights!

"What ever this is, it's effecting Kate." Angel said noticing her sweating and pale.

"Bloody Hell the phone lines are down too. Twiddle dumb and Twiddle Dee have disappeared. I can't even get a sent from either of them." Spike mentioned aggravated over everything.

"Where'd they go?" Angel asked.

"Oh. Yeah, I've noticed it also, that's one of the reason's why I came down here. Get the blood pumping, but I'm still cold." Kate said looking at G and Alex.

"Yeah, it has been a lot colder lately here." G replied. The three suddenly felt a little off guard and headed up stairs.

"Open the door!" Shouted G pushed up against Alex, Kate behind him.

"I can't it's stuck!" Alex shouted back.

"Guy's!" Kate quickly said noticing the white frost slowly crawling towards them on the walls. G pushed Kate behind him, so she wouldn't be near the stuff. He then quickly raised his arm and put a warm shield up, which seemed to be melting the frost.

"Hurry! I can't hold this for long!" Shouted G. Kate finally pushed Alex out of the way and kicked the door down.

"Come on!" She shouted. Alex grabbed G by the wrist and pulled them both out closing the door. They both fell to the floor. "Francis!" Shouted Kate in horror.

"Come on we have to get Angel and Spike!" shouted G getting up from the floor with Alex.

"Kate?" Alex asked looking at her. She looked scared and was crying, as if she saw something horrible happen.

"What's wrong?" G asked. Alex placed his hand on Kate's shoulder and all it did was go through her. The two stared at each other shocked over what just happened.

"Angel?" Kate asked weak and scared.

"Kate, don't tell them about us, they didn't hear you scream, just tell them how cold it's getting." G whispered in her ear hoping she'd hear him.

"What!?" Angel sternly said, not realizing it was Kate. "I'm sorry, what is it Kate?"

"Haven't you noticed it's been getting colder?" Kate asked.

"It worked!" Alex said surprisingly.

"Of course it worked, we have a connection." G replied.

"We're having a very important argument love, couldn't that wait?" Spike asked.

"Sure, only I'm really cold, and feeling a bit--weak." Kate suddenly collapsed and the two rushed to her side.

"Kate!" Alex and G said, trying to grabbed her but she slipping right through them.

"What's going on?" Spike asked.

"I don't know." Angel replied holding Kate.

"I'm thinking it has to do with a demon, probably a Hilzar demon." Alex was saying to Spike and Angel, who were just looking confused at the walls.

"Alex! I don't think they can hear you!" G said sternly. Angel and Spike headed quickly up stairs to put Kate into a warm bed. Alex and G followed from behind.

"Kate was able to hear you." Alex replied.

"Like I said, connection."

"Ah, a spell."

"No, connection. A bond." G replied. "Which you two seem to lack."

"A spell." Alex replied leaving at that.

"What ever this is, it's effecting Kate." Angel said noticing her sweating and pale.

"The Hilzar is eating off of her." Alex said worried.

"What!?" G asked worried also.

"Bloody Hell the phone lines are down too. Twiddle dumb and Twiddle Dee have disappeared--"

"Hey!" The two shouted, Spike of course not being able to hear them.

"I can't even get a sent from either of them." Spike mentioned aggravated over everything.

"We're right Here!" Shouted Alex.

"It's like they disappeared." He finished saying while rubbing the back of his neck.

"We did, you Billy Idol wannabe." G replied, knowing Spike wouldn't be able to hear him.

"Where'd they go?" Angel asked.

"I don't understand. I read so much about Angel and Spike." Alex was saying. "If we're ghosts they'd be able to know. Same as if we were invisible."

"Well maybe we're neither!" Shouted G. "We're not ghosts. No bodies! We're not invisible, cause I can see you!!"

"Is it just me, or do you feel a presence?" Spike asked standing his guard.

"It's not you." Angel replied.

"They must feel us. Shout again." Alex said to G.

"I can see you!!" G shouted again and the two waited for something. All of the sudden a crash came from down stairs and Spike quickly ran out, Angel following.

"No! You can't leave her behind!" Alex shouted.

"Why? What's wrong?" G asked.

"The Hilzar demon needs his victim alone to fully take her soul away."

"God, why do those two always have to be in a competition!?" G asked aloud. Following while Alex stays behind to watch after Kate.

"Yeah! Finally a challenge!" Shouted Spike while fighting a huge demon creature.

"They have to go for the eyes!" Shouted Alex up stairs, leaning over the side. "It's a Slogath Demon!"

"Alex! Get back to Kate!" G shouted back. G quickly raised his hand towards Angel and placed a spell on him, enabling G to speak through Angel.

"Go for the eyes!" Said the two together. Spike only hearing Angel.

"Oh, come on!" Spike shouted still fighting. "Let me at least enjoy this before I annihilate it."

"If you like, I'll buy you a dog, now kill it!" Angel shouted sarcastically back, trying to lure the beasts attention towards him.

"Hey!"

"Spike!" Angel shouted, seeing that he was being pushed against the wall. Spike quickly ran towards the other wall and jumped off it, flying onto the head of the monster and stabbing it in the eyes with two stakes. Spike laughed over the slaughtering, and the creature suddenly turned to goop Spike falling straight to the ground. Angel came and helped Spike up.

"Faced this creature before huh?" Spike asked.

"No, never, only heard about them." Replied Angel.

"Good thing you remembered how to kill them." Spike brought up.

"I didn't." Angel said.

"Then how'd you know?" Spike asked, looking at Angel as if he's lost his mind.

"I don't know."

"That really took allot out of me." G fell on his side, noticing he's been using to much power. He's heard that it's possible, from reading's and stories; about drawing power from the earth to heal. He's heard mostly information on the certain Witch he looked up to; Willow. But he had his own tricks too, he closed his eyes. "A-lash, Qutock, Demock, Demosh!" A shimmering light came swirling up G from the ground--he began to feel his strength return to him, making him stronger. G suddenly opens his eyes with a gasp.

"What was that?" Angel asked. Stopping on the stairs.

"Another demon?" Spike asked.

G felt something was wrong, he sensed Alex was in danger was being hurt. He stopped what he was doing and quickly flew up to the top floor, and ran to the room. But he was to late. He found Alex pinned up against the wall weak and pale as was Kate who was still lying in bed. The creature, who Alex called a Hilzar Demon, was sucking the life from Alex, his eyes were black as night--he could see his soul being drained from his body. The creature finally dropped Alex's corpse, and headed towards Kate, G shouted in horror--opening his eyes, and finding himself still soaking in the power.

"Hel-Mar!" He shouted. And the power stopped. He quickly flew up to the top floor.

"What was that?" Angel asked. Stopping on the stairs.

"Another demon?" Spike thought aloud.

G made it to the room finding Alex pinned up against the wall the creature just beginning to feed. G raised his hand a shot a shimmering white light towards the creature; making the demon scream in horror while dropping Alex to the floor. He turned to face G, who quickly put a shield up around the three, making sure the creature wouldn't touch either of them. The demon made a click, click sound as he moved back and forth trying to find a way in; but G stood his ground. Angel and Spike ran in, and the demon disappeared. G let his shield down, as the two went right through him; revealing Alex.

"Alex!" Spike and Angel ran to him lying there on the floor weak and pale.

"Angel! Spike!"G shouted noticing them being able to see Alex. But they still couldn't hear him, he noticed he was alone. He rushed back down stairs confused, and afraid over what was happening. He was angry and began to grab things from midair throwing them around; destroying them. He suddenly stopped from hearing a noise. A click, click sound which he heard before the demon disappeared.

"Bloody Hell!" Shouted Spike seeing the mess everywhere. He didn't even see G facing the demon staring right at him. The demon bolted towards G who placed his hands out stopping the creature. G with anger in his eyes, grabbed all of the energy around him; soaking it in.

Spike stopped, from seeing the shimmering light coming out of no where; like a glistening sparkle. Angel heard the commotion and came to help--suddenly stopping on the stairs after seeing what Spike was. Golden sparkles appear around G as he starts to float up in a corridor of white light; his eyes black as ever. The shimmering light, surrounds the demon, holding it motionless. The light began to slightly clear, revealing G to Spike and Angel. They could see the change and sudden determination to fight back. The creature slowly rose from the ground choking, and his skin slowly pealing away. Angel and Spike ran down to stop G. But he slams the creature down into the ground. As the demon shatters, an explosion of bright white light shoots out, sending both Angel and Spike back from the blast.

"Are you guy's ok?" G asked with his hand's out to help the two up. He was back to himself, as was everything else.

"Are you?" Angel asked letting G help him up.

"Yeah." He replied smiling. "Kate!" G ran up stairs to check on them. Angel and Spike glance around seeing nothing damaged, as if nothing ever happened. "They're healing!" G shouted leaning against the rail, after rushing out of the room. He went back to check on them again; happy as ever. Angel and Spike looked at each other worried over what they just witnessed.

"Where did those things come from?" Angel asked.

"Don't know, but we better keep an eye out for more." Spike replied, as the two headed to the room.

Out from the shadows came a figure--he pulled down his hood, revealing it to be Trevor the warlock, who came to Angel and Spike about G.

"He's ready." He said to himself.
