Angel and Buffy headed towards the vampires ready for a fight. They caught the 15 vampires off guard and the battle started.

The vampires came at them left and right. Buffy and Angel struggled to fight them all off, while the vampires didn't even have a scratch on them. Buffy went to stake one and she did perfectly in the heart, but the vampire didn't turn into dust. They knew something was up.

After 10 minutes of what seemed a lifetime of staking, Buffy and Angel opted to run since none of the vampires seemed to die off.

"Buffy! We have to go! It's no use, they aren't dusting!" Angel shouted.

They ran as fast as they could, hoping to reach a nearby shelter. The ferocious vampires follow at an inhuman or even in-demon rate. The sky started to crackle with thunder. Finally, they reached a house that was similar to theirs but on the other side of the island. The door was locked tightly and the vampires were gaining on them faster and faster. Buffy broke the lock and hurried inside.

"Buffy you have to invite me in!" Angel said in panic.

"Oh right. Angel come in." Buffy said as she slammed the door behind him.

"Angel" Buffy whispered in the dark.

"Shhh… they're still outside. I think they saw us come in." Angel whispered back.

"But we're inside a house, we're safe"

"I don't think they're your normal vampires." Angel pointed out.

"SURPRISE!!!" Giles, Cordy, Josh, Willow, Oz and Xander yelled as the lights came on.

It was a surprise indeed. There was a series of loud banging followed by a vampire squad crashing in through the windows.

The gang jumped into action grabbing stakes.

"Giles! They can't be staked!" Buffy yelled as she knocked out a vampire.

Just then, Angel had an idea. "Giles, where are your swords?!?"

"Upstairs in a trunk… Willow! Oz! Cordelia! Go get them!" Giles shouted as they zoomed off to retrieve the weapons.

"Hey catch!" Oz said as he tossed weapons to the struggling fighters.

In a snap, they slashed and decapitated all the vampires. They barricaded the doors and rested in the living room.

"Whew, that was to close for comfort." Said Buffy.

"Yes, I wonder who er… what they were. I've never seen any vampires like that before. Very strange." Giles said with major concern.

"Which brings us to another mystery, what are you guys doing here? I mean it's not that I'm not grateful but yea…" Buffy said.

"Well for what it's worth, we set this up to be your vacation and we just came to party Buff…. Surprise?" Xander said

"We as in all of you?"

"Yeah… even Angel" Willow said smiling.

"Hmm… and you had a part in this Angel?" Buffy said with a smirk.

Angel grinned.

"Look I'm not trying to be a party pooper, but we kinda have that vampire issue at hand." Giles said.

"Giles… come on, let's just wait till tomorrow. I mean we just fought them off and I don't think they'll be after us right about now. So please let's us party tonight…" Buffy whined as Willow and Xander joined in.

"Pretty pretty pleaseeeee." Willow and Xander pouted.

"Oh very well… bring on your loud music and you may have your party." Giles blew into a noisemaker. After a while, he retreated back to his room.

Upon their party, they turned the lights of and had nothing but a flashlight, they were swapping ghost stories. Josh took the liberty of telling one about the island.

"Hey everyone, remember when I told everyone to pick Amti Island for the vacation spot?" Said Josh.

"Yeah" they all said.

"Well I heard about it in a story, and that's the so-called scary story I'll tell"

"Ohh, I'd loved to hear it!" Willow chirped.

"Willow, I didn't know you were into scary stories." Buffy said.

"Well I am, it's just when it truly happens… I don't wanna be around that."

"Well I'll protect you" Oz said.

"Aww you'd do that for me." Willow and Oz kissed.

"Ok well.." Josh started "Amti Island is suppose to be like our Hellmouth, the central of a mystic convergence… monsters, demons, you name it. From what I heard, there was once this early family that settled here. Some say they worshipped evil or were demons themselves; others say they were disturbed spirits that have come the haunt the island. I know… no surprise to the most of us anyway right?" Josh said the last comment sarcastically.

"Anyway, It is believed that the family settled here and there were 10 people in the family; The mother, father, 5 daughters and 3 sons. They all lived very secretively and were rarely seen in town unless for supplies. A couple years later there was this weird plague and 7 of the children died. I heard tat some limbs fell apart and the family never quite recovered all the pieces of their children for burial."

"Ewwww, that's disgusting Josh." Cordelia squealed.

"I remember something like that back in the day." Angel said quietly.

"Angel… I didn't need to know that" Buffy said jokingly in disgust.

Josh continued "The family moved away and was never heard of again. People say that the family's only child survivor chopped her siblings into pieces out of jealousy; others say the family killed each other because of some kind of demonic possession, from the mystical convergence perhaps, or a misfire in demonic worship. No one knows for sure." Josh now lowered his voice into a faint whisper, and they all leaned closer.

"Then a couple years ago, this really rich distant relative of the family purchased the island and named it Amti Island in memory of the family. The relative made it open to the public. Amti Island is supposed to be an acronym for the family or something like that. Every year around summertime the dead members of the family are spotted roaming around in search of peace. I heard that if they caught anyone disturbing their peace, they would kidnap them, every once in a while, to be their eternal slaves, many don't make it out alive and…….. BOO!" Josh shouted as loud as his could.

Everyone had jumped, it had scared the wits out of them for a second or two. When they realized that they have fallen for Josh's joke, they laughed nervously.

"Great story Josh!" Buffy exclaimed.

"Yeah, it was fun, but not in a morbid sense." Willow said.

"Ha ha, very funny. But if you lived on the Hellmouth most of you life, nothing really scares me anymore." Xander said with a cynical tone.

Just then Cordelia snuck up behind him and said "Boo!" in his ear.

"Ahh!" Xander yell.

" Nothing but a 'fraidy cat." Willow teased.

" It's not you, I-I just have an ear thing…" he justified.

They partied the night away.

The next morning

Cordelia woke up at 5 am in the morning. She usually would have went back tosleep but this time it was different. A chill swept past her, and a green glowing hand beckoned her to follow. She followed it with caution. They headed to the wooded area of the isladn. The hand and Cordelia finally stopped and they were in front of a small cave. The glowing hand disappeared into the darkness of the cave.

Without thinking about the consequences, Cordelia went in the cave. Cordelia had loved porcelain dolls ever since she could remember. It was her secret obsession and she had plenty of them all around her room. But due to the evil IRS, each and every one of the dolls had to be taken away. Once in the cave, Cordelia saw a large and beautiful collection of them.

She examined each doll carefully, remembering every feature. One of them looked exactly like her; the soft brunette hair that perfectly rested on her shoulders, the jewel-like eyes burned into her own, and a light and pleasant smile. The doll seemed to be smiling at Cordelia.

"Do you like the doll miss? If you want, you may have it. I already have enough." A small voice said.

Mesmerized be the doll, nothing else in the world had mattered. She picked the doll up and then, a shot of unbearable pain shot through her. She felt as though she was being pulled apart.

Then she was gone.

Back at the house…

"Buffy, where are you?" Giles almost ripped around the house trying to find Buffy.

"Buffy!" He shouted, and woke everyone up.

"What?" Buffy yawned.

"Good you're still here. Well it's…it's"

"What is it Giles?" Buffy said seriously.

"Were are in tremendous trouble." Giles said solemnly.

"Nothing I can't handle right?" Buffy half-joked.

Giles stood silent.
