Darla laughed at Angelus' reaction. A little girl had just looked the most dangerous man in history square in the face and told him that she wasn't afraid of him. The girl was either incredibly brave or extremely stupid. He looked to her with a pleading look but she shook her head.

"Don't even touch her. We need her."

Judy suddenly felt very cold. She hadn't thought to ask the most important question above all.

"What do you want me for? I'm just a farmer's daughter." She asked Darla, her eyes wide again. "Why am I so special?"

Darla pulled the child to her chest, stroking her hair. If she hadn't known better, Judy would have said it almost felt motherly if it wasn't for the coldness of her skin.

"You'll find out soon enough, Judy. There will be plenty of time in the future for that."

Judy pulled away quickly. "You're going to change me." Darla smiled, letting a panicked look cross the child's face. "No! You'll have to kill me! I won't kill! I won't be one of you! You can't make me!"

Angelus yanked the child to him, pulled her head back against his shoulder. "We can and we will, child. You forget who's mercy you are at." He then whispered dangerously. "I'm not feeling very merciful at the moment either."

Judy struggled to find that bit of confidence that she had before. All she could think of now was the door's only five feet away. If I jump, I could land safely and run…or I could die and be left on the side of the road. It'd be better than this. Juliet would have at least bit him or something-

That's it!

She quickly turned her head to the side and bit down as hard as she could on the cold flesh of his hand. Angelus cried out in pain as blood filled her mouth with a sour, metallic taste. His hand slapped across her face but she glared at him, not even flinching.

"I'm not afraid of you, Angelus."

The carriage pulled to a stop. The three of them could hear the coachmen step down from the reins and the door opened.

"Master, Mistress, we have arrived at our destination."

Faster than Judith could see, Angelus had her by the collar and out the door, knocking the coachman down. She fell down to the ground as Angelus grabbed the innocent man by the throat.

"Are you afraid now? Allow me to show you what I can do."

Judy watched in horror as he gauged out the man's throat as he screamed only to be cutoff brutally when Angelus' hand ripped out his heart and threw it to her feet.

"Are you afraid yet? Allow me to show you what I can do!"

He took the knife off the now-dead coachman's belt and marched forward. She turned to run only feel his cold hand in her hair again, yanking her backwards into him. He jerked the knife upwards, tossing a knot of her hair into her face. She reached up her small hand and felt where he had cut off her hair right up to the nape of her neck.

"Angelus, that's enough. You'll scare the poor girl. Let's at least get her to the ship."
