Chapter 12:

Angelus wasted no time in getting to Wolfram&Hart. Once he he got there he snuck in, and left a trail of dead, drained, and mutilated corpses in his wake. He burst into Lilah's office, and roared as he vamped out, and jerked her to her feet by her hair and started to strangle her, " Why did ye hire that nancy boy ponce Dracula."

Lilah croaked, " Because you betrayed us. You said you would kill the witches, and you save one from the Furies. What's worse Angelus the scourge of Europe, fell in love with a witch, a Charmed One in fact."

Angelus gripped her throat tighter as he growled, " What's yer point lass?"

Lilah was about to respond, when Lindsay, and Holland Manners walked in. Holland asked, " What's wrong my friend?"

Angelus growled, " We ain't freinds ye soddin poof. I'm here to deliver a message."

Holland asked, " And that is?"

Angelus flung Lilah into her desk, and grabbed Holland by the throat, and hoisted him into the air as he growled, " That I'll kill the bleedin lot of ye wankers if ye go after the witches again."

Holland croaked, " We understand."

Angelus gave him a sadistic smile as he said, " Ye're lyin. As soon as I'm gone ye'll send someone after me. Then ye'll have that buugerin sod Dracula kill em."

Holland was about to argue that he wouldn't, when Angelus suddenly snapped his neck, and flung his lfeless body out the door. Then he growled as he turned his glowing yellow eyes Lindsay, andLilah, " Ye two just got a promotion."

Lilah said, " We thank you..."

Angelus cut her off as he knocked her back into the wall with a vicious backhand as he growled, " Shut yer bleedin gob ye stupid bint. The only reason both o ye are still breathin is cause I gotta go stop Dracula, but when I'm finished with him, I'll be back."

And with that he left the building. He raced along the rooftops towatd the Manor. He saw vampires, and demons were swarming the place. Suddenly a cold malevonent rage consumed him, and coursed through his system. His face transformed into that of the demon. He dove off the roof, and silently landed behind a Fyarl demon, he snapped it's neck, then he tackled a Grocslar demon, that was trying to get in the Manor. He punched it several times in the face, then he ripped it's throat out. Then he jumped to his feet, and raced inside the manor. The minute he was inside, he grabbed two warlocks, ripped their throats out, then he whipped out a stake, and started dusting vamps right, and left. He spotted Cole battling 6 vamps at once. He used all of his vampiric speed to get to Cole's side. Just as he got there Cole threw an engery ball turnuing three of the vamps into dust. Angelus snarked as he staked one of the vamps, " Watch out ye almost got me."

Cole looked over at him, and asked, " Did you take care of the lawyers?"

Angelus drawled as he mercilessly beat a vamp, then staked him, " Yep. Killed one, hurt the other two."

Cole said as he killed the other two vamps with an energy ball, " Your slipping. Time was you'd have killed them all."

Angelus growled low in his chest at him, and was about to argue that he was the same, when suddenly he heard Paige scream. He whirled around, and the sight that confronted him, made his blood boil. Piper, and Phoebe were both unconcious, and Dracula held Paige in the air by her throat. Angelus roared, " Let er go ye bleedin coward, an face me."

Dracula smirked evilly as he applied more pressure to Paige's throat as he said silkily, " Or what Angelus. I wonder if you'll revert back to your normal self if I kill your precious witch."

Angelus was suddenly consumed by a strange unknown feeling as he glared daggers at Dracula as he growled in a low deathly calm voice, " Ye just fucked up big time Vlad."

Dracula smirked evilly as he applied even mpre presure to Paige's causing her to lose conciousness as he said in an amused voice, " How so Angelus?"

Before Angelus could respond, Dracula vanished in a black cloud of mist, taking Paige with him.

What should Angelus do?
