Previously: We laughed and joked and talked for a while, then Dawn and her friends said that they were leaving so Dawn could grab some things. Buffy didn't like Dawn wandering around in the dark and so she let them go.

Faith also said she was leaving, only to find somewhere for her and Robin to stay and then she was leaving him there and coming back in time for patrol. There was no way she was going to miss that.

I was hungry so I also left, in order to swing by the butchers for tea. Had to keep my strength up if I was to go on patrol and 'wrestle' with Buffy.

Chapter 34

Dawn, Carly and Candice were sitting on the rug in the lounge room. There wasn't enough space in Candice's room for them all to sleep so they had set up camp there. Carly had teleported back to her house to grab some noodles and marshmallows. She then teleported to the nearest Chinese shop however because they burnt the noodles. How they didn't really know, but Carly had been cooking them, so anything was possible.

They sat on the ground in their sleeping bags and comforters talking about boys, shoes and clothes when Candice bought up Angel.

'I seriously did think it was a chick's name!' Carly cried thinking Candice was bringing it up for a laugh.

'I know you did, but did anyone else get 'Nasty' vibes from him? Or was it just me?' Candice looked around. All she got were some blank stares.

'Nope. Normal Angel vibes. Broody and all' Dawn said. She was slightly annoyed that Candice thought her friend was evil.

'Dunno. I was to busy with the whole name deal' Carly stated as she popped a marshmallow into her mouth.

'Hmm… ok' Candice rummaged through the DVD cupboard. 'Wanna watch anything?'

The girls went through DVD after DVD until they finally found one they all agreed on; 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.

They all agreed on it only because Johnny Depp played the awesome Jack Sparrow. They all admitted to fantasising about him at one point or another.

Candice put the DVD into the DVD player and switched the TV on. It was going to be a good night.

They had just reached the bit where Jack and Will use the canoe to get aboard the ship, when Carly cursed.

'Be right back guys. I hear a vengeance call'

'Ok. Be quick!' Dawn and Candice chorused as she hit pause. Carly disappeared into thin air.

Carly arrived in a factory. She knew why she was there; to wreak vengeance for a girl. She had been walking along with her boyfriend when a guy had stepped out of the shadows and had demanded the girl. The guy had thrown the girl to the ground and had left her for the man, who was a killer. The girl had been betrayed by the one she loved most. Bastard.

The factory was cold. Carly forgot that she was only wearing her t-shirt and jeans. She'd taken her heavy jacket off at Candice's because Stone had turned the heating up. She mentally cursed herself for forgetting it and slowly ventured forward. She could hear sobbing and by those sounds, guessed that the girl was gagged.

She could hear other voices too. One of them being rather familiar. it was dark and was hard to see, but the girl stood out easily. Her red hair told Carly exactly who it was. Ally.

Ally who had been her friend, who had been taken from her by a vampire and who now stood before as one. It was terrifying. Carly shivered.

There was a part of the factory wall that jutted out, so Carly chose to hide behind it. From there she would be able to hear the girl's wish and grant it, without hopefully being caught by Ally, the other girl or… ANGEL!

Carly's eyes widened in horror. Angel was here! And Evil!

He stood before the gagged girl, her on her knees; he was talking to Ally and the other, who he called 'Dru'.

Where had Carly heard that name before?

'What should we do with this one?' he stroked the girl's face. She flinched away. He must have hit her before in order to get a response like that, Carly figured.

The women threw suggestions at Angel, but he didn't like any of them.

'I know' he said as he knelt on the ground in front of the girl. 'Such a pretty blonde, such a short life' he murmured.

The girl was crying silent tears down her face now. She must have known that it was impossible to get out of here alive.

Angel removed the gag and the girl tried to cry out, but he grabbed her by the throat, stopping her airflow and her scream.

'Ah ah ah. We don't do that here' Angel whispered as he felt the girl up with one hand.

It was enough to make Carly sick, but she couldn't do anything. They would kill her anyway, unless the girl made a wish and soon.

Carly sat there for a whole half hour listening to the girl sob and whimper as Angel raped her over and over again. Ally had gotten bored and had sat herself on a sofa that was lying there, but 'Dru' remained standing, watching Angel.

After Angel was done with his fun, he motioned to Dru and Ally to 'come here' and both vampires did.

Together they knelt around the girl, who was going to die any second, from either exhaustion or blood loss, Carly couldn't tell. All she knew was that she would die without her wish.

The vampires were all smiling and joking. On the count of three they all turned into their 'game faces' and suck their fangs into the girl. Her eyes bulged and at first she struggled, but that was only for a few seconds; she then lay slumped against Angel's chest.

The vampires fed until the girl was dry.

Angel dropped the body to the floor and reached out for Dru.

'Wasn't that fun?' he crooned. She giggled like a three year old

'T'was daddy. Can we do it again?'

'All in good time sweetheart. Right now I have better ideas' and he grabbed her and puled her giggling self towards him.

Ally rolled her eyes and stood. She really disliked Angelus. He was a pig.

She exited the factory from another door and disappeared into the took the hint and left also, before Angel and Dru got down and dirty.

Carly appeared in the lounge room seconds later, white-faced.

'What took you so long!' Dawn cried. 'We've been waiting for ages!'

Candice seemed to have noticed Carly's pale expression.

'What's wrong Carly?'

Carly stared at her sleeping bag as she spoke the first few words.

'You know how we were speaking 'bout Angel before?' she looked up at her friends. 'How Candice thought he was evil?'

Both girls nodded. 'Yeah. What's that got to do with anything?' Dawn asked.

'Well…' Carly looked at both of them 'She was right'

Dawn was taken aback. 'What! No! Not possible!'

'Are you sure?' Candice looked worried. Partly because Dawn's shrieks would probably wake her parents. 'Shut up Dawn' she hissed.

Dawn quietened down but still wouldn't believe it. 'No way'

Carly nodded her head. 'Way. I saw him. I was meant to grant his dinner a wish. Angelus is back. And bigger and badder than ever'

It finally sank in for Dawn. 'We have to tell Buffy! We let him into our apartment!' Dawn whipped her mobile phone out as fast as she could. With shaking hands, she dialled her number and waited for Buffy to answer. Finally she did and Dawn went into speed mode. She explained everything and Buffy listened.

Later, she hung up.

'What does she want us to do?' Candice asked.

'Stay here and she also wants to know if I can stay longer?' she said

Candice promised she would ask when her parents were awake. The girls decided to turn off the movie and try and get whatever sleep they could. Not that it would be much, but at least it would be some.

Carly lay there, sleep wasn't going to come. She could get the images out of her head; Angel, Dru, the girl, Ally… Ally.

She had decided it best not to upset Candice as well. Candice had taken it hard when Ally had 'died' and Carly wasn't prepared to go through that just yet.

Ally had looked just like she had years ago. It was amazing, though no surprise. That what being a vampire meant; no aging.

Carly rolled over and faced the ceiling. She just hoped that she hadn't been spotted by any of the vamps. If so… Uh oh!

She was going to be in so much trouble…
