The trio slowly made their way out the door of the club and down the darkened alleyway. Angel as getting weaker and weaker with every step and the girls had to strain to keep him from collapsing face down on the cement.
"God Angel. . . could you be anymore heavier?!" Buffy strained, dragging the weakening vampire along.
"Well well well. . . Isn't this convienient. Two happy meals on legs and an unarmed slayer. This is our lucky night, isn't it?" asked a voice from behind them. Not the normal cocky british accent belonging to Spike Buffy and Angel were used to, more of an american. But Angel seemed to straighten up and go rigid at the voice, more so at the word "our". The three slowly turned around to face the slight outline of twenty or so figures, the one in front holding something. "Nothing like the fresh blood of a body-guard to get ya pumped. . . " the figure said, dropping what he was holding to the ground with a sickening thud. Slowly, he approched them, his face little by little being revieled by the light streaming from the light. Sabrina let out a loud gasp, dropping Angel. The figure's face was fully illuminated now. The boney ridges of his brow casting shadows across his face, his demonishly yellow eyes darting between her and the couple, and his lips curled into a broad grin revealing. . . fangs.
"Oh my God. . . " Sabrina muttered, unawaringly being surrounded by the others behind him.
"H-hey. . . you're that guy who ran off when Faith and I killed that. . . "Kissing Toast" guy. . . " Buffy stammered.
"Ah, Kikistos. A bit of an. . oldie, not very bright if you ask me. I'm amazed you and the other slayer managed to finish him off. He was older than the Master, ya know!"
"What do you want?"
"Whoa. . . touchy. I'm here to finish what Kikistos started-Kill the slayer, or in this case, slayers" the vampire chuckled, slowly walking to them.
"You touch her, and I'll rip your spine out through your nose with tongs, Trick!" Angel hissed, vamping out and standing up.
"Angelus. . . glad to see you again. It's a pity you're on herside now. I bet Darla's not here to save you again, is she?. . . "
"That's none of your business!" Angel hissed again, walking to the slightly older vampire.
"Oh well. . . I guess it's one happy-meal-on-legs, an unarmed slayer and a weak "Distroyer of the World". At least the boys'll have some fun. . . " with that, Trick signaled the vamps around Sabrina to start closing in.
"Sabrina, run!"
"I can't! There's too many!!!" Sabrina called, looking back and forth at the steady enclosing wall of distorted faces. Buffy ran to her, grabbed on of the vamps who was about to pounce, roundhoused him then staked him flawlessly. The witch stood there, spellbound as a few turned in time to see their comrade turn to dust and a petite blonde stand in his place welding a stake. They decided that they could do away with the medling girl, so the few walked out of the circle surrounding Sabrina and headed for Buffy. Angel was having troubles of his own battling Trick, who was winning against the weakend vampire.
"Oh God. . . Um. . . " Sabrina stammered, firiously thinking for a spell to ward off the advancing creatures. She suddenly closed her eyes, out pointed her finger and recited, "Please oh please let this keep them at bay, send these creatures far away!" With that, the familar purple and gold energy circulated out of her finger, surrounded the vamps and they were gone in a flash. Trick, Angel and Buffy just stood there, holding their opponiants.
"What the hell?!" all three asked. Sabrina spun around and pointed at the black vamp holding Angel, than started reciting the spell again.
"Uh oh. . . Kill ya later Slayer!" Trick said, releasing a very weak Angel then running off. Buffy dusted the remaining vamps and then turned to her friend.
"Okay. What the hell was that and what or who are you?!" Buffy demanded.
"Um. . . oh jeez. . . " Seeing an slightly open escape route, Sabrina dashed for the street and made it. Then she turned the corner and ran off, her footsteps echoing into the night.
"Guys? What happened? We thought we heard some fight, then the lights and electricity go off and everyone started screaming. " Xander said, coming out of the darkened doorway. The two just looked at him and Willow, then ran off in pursuit of the fleeing witch. Willow looks at Xander, who shrugged not-knowingly, then ran off to catch up to the vampire and the slayer.
"You didn't answer my question!" called Xander. Then he finally got the clue that something was up, and hurried off after Will.

Sabrina was fast, but Angel was gaining swiftly. She ducked around another corner in hopes of loosing her pursuer, but found out it was a dead end only after running into the brick wall barricading her exit.
"Damn it!" Sabrina cried as she backed up. She screamed again as she bumped into something and turned around. She found herself almost face-to-face with boney ridges, yellow eyes and fangs. Angel limbered over her, slightly wobbley. "Oh. . . " she whimpered, backing away from him. He grabbed the witch by the arm and held onto her tight.
"Buffy!" he called over his shoulder, hearing the slayer's footsteps grow close. Sabrina felt his icy, stone grip go right through her shirt, his beety eyes penetrating her soul the more she looked at him. Finally, she got up enough nerve to teleport herself out of there. She closed her eyes, pointed to herself and was free of the vampire's grip in a swirl of gold energy. Just as Buffy, Willow and Xander came around the corner.
"Where'd she go?"
"I don't know. I had her, then she. . . disappeared. "
"But where would she go? I mean. . . " Willow asked.
"Let's go see Giles. He can tell us why Sabrina can make things disappear like that. " Buffy said, turning to Angel and lightly taking his arm to help him walk straight. Then they and the slayerettes walked out of the alley and towards the high school.
