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

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.

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.

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.
