I knew somewhere inside me that she would do this. I just knew it and was stupid to even agree to it in the first place. Sweet damaged little Faithy let pussy boy loose and now where is she? Not here. Not in the basement that I myself helped chain Angel down, in chains that were unbreakable, and she went and gave him the key. Set him free. I was a

I followed Mom up into Wolfram and Hart and really all I could think about was Angel. I didn't know anything about him but I felt like I knew him, understood him somehow. Mostly I just wanted to...do things that I shouldn't want to do. At least I didn't think so, I wasn't even more than six months old and already I was thinking about that. I shook my head trying to keep a clear focus because for once? Mom was actually being cool and she was going to tell me what was going on.

When we got upstairs I stopped short. Connor. Angel. Angel. I shook my head. Angel? There were two of them and they were all bruised and beaten and wailing on eachother. I was still dreaming. My hand was probably somewhere between my legs while I laid between the sheets back at home. The only thing that drove it home for me that it wasn't a dream was because mom was there. I didn't think my Mom would be in this dream with Connor and two Angels. She was yelling at me to go call Dad and I froze not sure what to do. Why were they all fighting.

That was when he hit her back. Connor nailed Mom in the face with an elbow and I didn't even think, I just burst into action. Angrily I punched him in the face, letting my hand smart across his jaw before I grabbed him by the arm and flung him towards the other side of the room. He smashed up high on the wall before sliding all the way down to the ground. I thought Connor was...why was Connor hurting my Mom? Why were there two Angels and why were they fighting eachother? I was so confused and none of it made sense at all.

I was about to open my mouth and give voice to my confusion when I stopped in my tracks.

"Boys, why does everybody always have to play so rough?" Low, sultry so familar voice. Like I knew it, knew her. Knew everything that she'd ever been and I didn't understand.

Slowly I turned my head towards the pale dark haired girl standing near the edge of the room. Just coming up from the stairs below and everybody had just stopped and was staring at her. But I was....I couldn't even explain what I was. I just wanted to touch her.

I turned from beating Angel's pretty face when I heard the sound of Faith's voice filling the room. I shoved Angel back and looked around the room, we had more company than I thought. Company looked delicious too especially the little brunette that came in with Buffy. Alexia nearly all grown up and probably giving her parents a ton of grief. I watched as everyone in the room looked at her like she was a shining piece of metal, something that catches the attention briefly. I walked over closer to Faith with a proud smirk as she looked over Alexia with awe.

"Sometimes Buffy I'm not quite sure what you're thinking. I mean honestly bringing your daughter into the mix of evil nasty vampires that want to make her a handy snack?" I scratched my head and smiled at her. "Doesn't that sound a little oh I don't know. Dangerous?" I could feel the tension rising in the room. Connor, Faith and me all ready to jump anything that so much as blinked. Buffy, Angel and Alexia just standing like deer in headlights.

"I think my Faithy here wants to get to know her a little better." I moved fast and had Alexia in my grasp and back beside Faith when Buffy lunged forward. "Ah ah ah Mommy Dearest you wouldn't want me to snap her neck now would you." I gripped Alexia by her arms and handed her over to Faith figured I'd let them duke it out if it were gonna be me and my boy against Angel and Buffy.

Everything moved so damn fast that it was sort of hard to figure out what was happening. Buffy had a hold of me and I punched her. Of course punching Lexi's mom in front of Lexi just pissed her off so she punched me and threw me into a wall. Man, she was something else. I liked it when girls played rough. Reminded me a lot of...

Faith who had the best timing ever. Except the way Faith and Lexi were looking at each other sort of freaked me out. There was this fascination on Lexi's part and whatever was coming from Faith gave me chills. Next thing I knew Dad had a hold of Lexi and handed her to Faith. Shit.

"Could we not hurt Lexi?" I asked, directing my attention to Faith, but keeping an eye on Buffy and Angel. Hopefully they wouldn't do something stupid that would cost Lexi her life.

I couldn't help but wonder where the hell was Cordy in all this? Would she side with us? She did let Faith out of the cage which confused the hell out of me. I thought she was scared of Faith.

"Seriously, Faith's free. We don't need to hurt Lexi, right?" I had a feeling I was pissing Angeus off, but I didn't think grabbing Lexi was going to be part of this. Whatever. I'd already chosen my side. There wasn't much I could do at this point but hope they decided not to hurt her. Or I could betray Angelus and Faith and die since Buffy and Angel were not about to step in and save my ass. Right. I was following Dad and Faith's lead.

Angelus pushed me back and now I noticed there was someone else in the room that I didn't want to see. She shouldn't be up here, she should be downstairs, about to get ensoulled, or try to anyway. There was so much I wanted to do right now, so much. He took her, my son and ... everything just felt so hopeless. I walked out into the lobby and narrowed my eyes, keeping an eye on Angelus and Connor. I wasn't worried too much about Faith. I got her once, I'd get her again, unless I finally didn't care anymore.

That seemed like an option.

Angelus grabbed the girl and I stepped forward as Buffy did too, but he stopped her. I just stood there, watching and waiting. He passed Lexi off to Faith. Glancing at Buffy, I waited for some sort of indication and then listened to Connor, his voice. He didn't want anything to happen to ... Lexi. I could probably use that to my advantage. I just wanted them all back and Angelus gone, was that too much to ask?

Of course it was.

I gripped Lexi around the throat, my other arm locking around her chest and pressing her arms to her side. It was interesting because I could smell the fear coming off of my sister slayer in waves. What? No kiss goodbye? No hug? No I love you crap right before I was about to die? Not that she could kill me, she didn't have the strength. The only strength in this room lay inside myself and the little girl in my arms. For her part? Lexi seemed completely unaffected just confused. She didn't flinch as I tightened my grip on her throat, she just stayed perfectly still like she was watching this all on a movie or something.

Still smirking at Buffy I shook out my game face and looked enticingly at Lexi's throat. I wondered what would happen to that soul if I drained her and I knew I could. More importantly? I knew that she'd let me right now. Would Angel only try to shove it back inside of me? Would it return to floating in the ether? I didn't know, but I wasn't willing to risk that yet.

Suddenly Buffy lunged at Angelus and I gripped Lexi more tightly as Angel slammed into me from the side and forced me to lose my grip on my little treat. I wasn't hallucinating now, I knew right where my Angel hid himself. Knew every single corner of his mind and I knew just how to hurt him most. Lashing out with a punch I shoved him back towards Lexi expecting to knock them both to the ground.

To my surprise. Lexi just shoved Angel to the ground, like he weighed nothing. Like he was nothing. Her eyes were locked on mine and I watched her throat as she swallowed hard.

Now I knew it. Now I knew what I smelled like when I was afraid. Because it smelled like her right then and there.

"You and I have a lot to talk about, Lexi." I said in a low purr as the rest of the idiots continued duking it out on the sidelines.

Did I plan to have Buffy grab me? I wasn't sure. Everything inside my head was screwed up. Things had gotten so complicated and all I could think about was that Lexi did not need to be here. Buffy was going to use me as a trade and I had a feeling that even if both my fathers agreed, Faith wasn't going to hand Lexi over for me.

Then Buffy pushed me into Dad and things went into total chaos mode. Faith lost her grip on Lexi. Buffy and Angelus were fighting while Angel made his move on Faith. I did the only thing I could do. The thing that would probably cost me the family I wanted. I betrayed Angelus.

It was Faith's words when Lexi pushed Angel away from Faith that sealed my fate. That purr made my blood run cold. I couldn't let her take Lexi. I had to save the girl.

Running as fast as I could, I knocked Faith out of my way and grabbed Lexi's hand. I had to drag her out of room. What the hell was wrong with her? Oh yeah, I was the one who chose to side with Angelus instead of Angel. Kids in glass houses shouldn't toss stones.

"Lexi, fucking run, she'll kill you." I growled as I continued to pull her behind me. I could feel it. Faith was coming for us and I wasn't so confident that I could take her anymore. Slayer turned vampire? Fuck me this was going to suck.

I didn't have the first clue about what was going on, but I didn't fight her when she grabbed my throat and held me still. I could smell my mother's fear, see it in her eyes but I wasn't afraid. I was just curious about her because I didn't understand her but I felt like I should. Or that I did somewhere if I could only find it.

Finally she let me go and she said she would talk to me. We had a lot to talk about. I wasn't afraid of her and I wanted to talk. I wanted to know why I feel these things that I do and why I was so different then all the other kids. She wouldn't lie to me like my parents would. I knew that. But then Connor had to grab me by the hand and start dragging me away. I had forgotten how strong he was. Not as strong as me I don't think but I wasn't sure.

I dug my heels into the floor because I didn't think Faith would or could kill me and I wanted to talk to her. Besides, I didn't get dragged off by boys who hit my Mom. I didn't understand what was going on at all and I was just dizzy with confusion when a cold hand locked onto my other hand.

Turning my head I could see Faith glowering at Connor as the two of them tugged me in opposite directions. "Stay out of this, Connor." She hissed at him and pulled so hard on my arm I was afraid that the two of them might split me in two. Squeezing my eyes shut for a minute I wasn't sure what to do until the pain got so intense I couldn't take it anymore.

Angrily I flung them both away from me in opposite directions, surprised at how much strength I packed in a punch. They both went flying and I watched wide-eyed as Connor crashed into a small glass....thing? I didn't know what it was but as soon as it shattered on the floor a bright white light flashed through the room.
