Chapter 16:

Angelus glared daggers at Darla as he growled, " Let er go Darla."

Cole growled as he once again transformed into Belthazar, " Hello Darla long time no see."

Piper, Phoebe, and Leo were staring at Dru, and Spike as they walked up. Phoebe asked, " who's the punk, and the goth chick?"

Angelus growled, " Spike, and Dru."

Spike leered at Piper, and Phoebe as he said, " Hello girls."

Leo growled as he formed a white ball of lightning, " Leave them the hell alone."

Spike smirked as he said, " Can it Whitelighter, fore I rip your bleedin throat out."

Angelus turned predatory eyes on Spike as he growled, " Ye heard the Whiteliter, Willy leave em alone."

Spike glared at Angelus as he he growled, " Or what ya bleedin ponce?"

Angelus lashed out, and hit Spike with a powerful side kick, that knocked him through the wall. Dru rushed at him, but he caught her by the trhroat, and slung her into a pile of bricks. Then he turned his attention back to Darla. He saw that she still had Paige by the throat, and started to squeeze very tightly . Angelus growled, " I'm warnin ye fer the last time Darla, let er go."

Darla purred, " I'm going to kill your little witch, then you will come back to me..."

She was cut off as Piper blasted her from behind, causing her to fall, and lose her grip on Paige. As soon Paige was free Angelus yelled , " Orb er outta here Whitelighter."

Leo nodded as he orbed Paige back to the manor. When she was gone Angelus pulled out his Claymore, and growled, "Get up, an get out Darla, cause the next time I see ye I'll have to kill ye."

Darla jumped to her feet, and hissed as she fled, " There will be a next time Angelus."

Piper, and Phoebe went to go after her, but Angelus stopped them as he said softly, " Le er go we'll get er next time."

Phoebe protested, " And why exactly shoud we let her go?"

Angelus sheathed his sword, and let his face chang back to normal as he said, " Cause darlin she's 392 years old, ye wouldn't even have a bleedin chance in hell."

Piper argued, " But I can hurt her."

Angelus shot her his legendary crooked grin as he said, " Ye hurt er once, cause she wasn't expectin it. She'll be ready next time."

Before they could argue anymore Cole asked, " Where are Spike, and Dru?"

Angelus replied, " They ran off wit Darla."

Cole nodded as he said, " Let's just go home."

And with that he shimmered them all back to the Manor.

How will Darla extract her revenge
