Oh great, Faith thought. Here comes the real trouble.
"Listen!" she finally spoke, her voice rang out and carried around the club which became quiet and still all of a sudden. the band stopped playing.
Everyone within the vicinity stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on the now escalating commotion.
Faith, altogether too tipsy to notice or care, continued on indifferently. "Can't we ever go out in this town without you people trying to turn it into the freaking CSI! We live on a hellmouth, I think you guys would be use to seeing a few ambulances by now!" Her hands were now waving frantically, casting an aura of theatrics. Despite everything she continued on, "It was a vampire! A vampire attacked a girl and buffy slayed it! We are the Slayers, that's our job!"
Now completely red in the face, Faith gathered up her things and made her way over to the exit. Jesus, it's packed she thought as the crowd parted for her. But before she could get any farther, the two guys from the bar each grabbed one of her arms forcibly.
"What the hel-" was what she managed before the entrance doors were slammed and locked.
"LET ME GO!"
Faith began to struggle against the two guys, whose teeth were now defined and faces bumpy, as a tall vampire dressed in all black strode over to her.
He was being accompanied by four others and all she heard was a womans high pitched sceaming before he struck her across the face, sending her crashing to the floor.
All of the vampires laughed hysterically as he spoke, his voice menacing, "No-one's-going.....anywhere."
((let me know if this messes up anything, and WELCOME new people!)

As Faith packed up her stuff and headed towards the exit, Xander followed, hoping to stop her. But there was no need, two vampires had a firm hold against her, not letting her go. "Let go of her!" he shrieked and ran towards the them, but before he got close enough he was flung to the other side of the club. We're not going anywhere, he thought as he got up, slowly. He counted the vampires, 15. That's good. We have two slayers, a witch, a vampire with a soul, and me, he thought. We can take them.

(wait, the doors were locked right? So no one can get in or out or something? So that would make you outside, right Faith?)
Angel looked up at Faith, his deep, dark eyes showing his confusion to her sudden outburst. "Faith," Angel tried interrupting her, looking nervously around the place. "Faith," he said again, now noticing eyes on them. He wanted to keep Buffy in the Bronze to be inconspicuous...not to cause a scene, but as he looked up at Faith shouting, he figured it as time to go to a plan B.
....only, he wished there was a plan B.
Faith started to storm towards the exit, Xander following. Angel stood and shouted, "Faith, wait!" This could not end well.
Angel started running through the crowd, brushing and pushing people shamelessly. As he did, he caught the whiff of Desmond's sent. He heard the scream and once that happened, the scent started moving further and further away from him. He saw Xander fly a few feet and the doors close. Angel looked down at Xander, his face wretched with concern, as he offered him a hand, but retracted it when he saw Xander could handle himself. Angel gazed at him, his eyes serious. "What did you see? Who were they?" He asked quickly.

Buffy looked at Willow with a smile, glad her friend had finally made it, then she turned her attention to a worried looking Giles. She was feeling more confused then ever with all these different attitudes around her. However, that all changed when Faith decided to pipe up. She had been about to answer Angel's question and she couldn't help but feel annoyed that Faith took over, and loudly at that.
Buffy watched all the commotion with wide eyes. Then she frowned at Angel's behaviour... something was definitely up. After a moment, she got up with a sigh and followed the others. With a quick glance at Xander, she was relieved to find he was alright. Purposely ignoring everyone else but one, she stormed up to Angel and grabbed his shoulder, whirling him around to face her.
"Angel, what is going on? You came here to tell me something, didn't you? Well, I think it's time to spill." Her expression was determined for him to tell her whatever he needed to.

"Vampires, everywhere." He answered Angel. "They're not letting us out." Xander's face wa covered in worry. "Does, anyone know why they aren't letting us out, apart from the obvious?" he asked everyone. "This has turned out to be a wonderful night" he joked.

((@ angel, faith didn't quite make it out. the doors slammed in her face before she could leave.))
The leader gestured towards Faith. "Pick her up!"
His minions happily obliged and brought Faith to her feet.
"A slayer, did you say??" he inquired. "Perhaps you are the one I seek?" He grabbed her chin and began to inspect her face.
"Yes, i can see why he would be interested in you..." He came closer and pressed his nose against her cheek, inhaling deeply.
As he pulled away Faith spat on his face, resulting in him grabbing her throat. His face began to change.
Crap, she thought.

Angel saw over the heads of people a group of vamps crowded around Faith in the far corner of the Bronze. He looked while listening to Xander. "Not yet," he answered to his question and started to advance towards the vampires when he felt a hand grab him and turn him around. He stared right into the eyes of Buffy, demanding to know what was going on.
"Look," He said apologetically but at the same time hurriedly. He placed his hands at her sides, looking into her eyes. "....it's a long story. I'll tell you everything later. Promise." He swallowed and looked over to where Faith was. One of those vamps was definitely Desmond. Angel knew they grabbed Faith for a reason...they caught the wrong slayer. He turned back to Buffy. He knew what he was about to say probably won't work but he had to try. "Listen....I need you to stay here. I'll take care of this, trust me. Just stay here...please." His expression displayed his seriousness. Without waiting for an answer, Angel disappeared into the crowd, pushing through people effortlessly until he got to Faith.
He came just in time to see Desmond's face change. The vampire with long straight brown hair, strong jaw and prominent facial structure morphed into his true vamp form. Angel lunged at him, grabbed him, and sent him flying several feet. Once he did that, Desmond's Little Helpers weren't too pleased so they started on the attack. Several started attacking Angel at once. But being a skilled fighter, Angel was swift and quick--right swing, duck, under kick, punch-- he could sense one behind him, so he sent a kick to the gut, sending one of them stumbling back some feet. However he didn't deliver the kick quick enough to recover. One of the vamps took that chance to punch Angel hard in the face. Involuntarily, Angel morphed and now turning to him, his fangs bared, he tackled him--his senses now amplified. In the midst of the fight however, he seemed to have lost track of Desmond, which kept him slightly off focus while fighting. The vampires surrounding him got in more jabs than they would have otherwise.

"Don't listen to him Buffy, he can't take all those vamps on by himself, he needs help!" Xander urged Buffy, and pushed her towards the source of the commotion. Xander went and helped too. He went behind one and tapped him on the shoulder, he turned and faced him, before the vamp could do anything, Xander staked him in the heart with a stake concealed in his back pocket. He laughed in victory, just to get punched by another one. Xander fell to the floor, it starting choking him. Xander lifted the stake to drive it into his heart, but it caught sight of this and knocked it out of his hand.

Just as the vamp looks to be closing in on Xander, Giles shoots an arrow, turning the vamp to dust. Giles then hrries over and puts his hand out for Xander. "Need some help?"

"Thanks, Giles. Where did you get the crossbow?" Xander asked Giles. He took Giles' hand and pulled himself up. He spotted a vampire running at Giles from behind, he flung Giles to the side and kicked his leg into the oncoming vampires abodmen. The vampire was barely affected, but did stummble back. He rocovered quickly, Xander noticed this. The vampire charged at him, Xander grabbed the pool stick on the table and hit the vampire on the head. The vamps skin was so hard that the stick broke in two. That's handy, he thought and staked it in the heart with one piece of the stick.

Giles looks a little bit baffled, but maintains grip of his spectacles. "Uh...good job Xander, I guess today is a day for saving people. Ohhh the crossbow...when I saw the large amount of vamps attack I hurried home and got some supplies..its amazing how many times a crossbow comes in handy...anyway, where is Buffy?...Angel?"

"Angel's over there, fighting some vampires and Buffy's over there." He pointed in there directions. "There's too many of them, Giles, we need some more help. And we still have no idea why they're here, but I think that Angel does. They also seem to be interested in Faith, which doesn't make much sense."

Giles listens intently, and observes in the distance where Buffy and Angel are fighting. He listens as Xander mentions what happened. "Faith? This is unusual...it doesn't have anything to do with Kakistos does it? Hmmm..."
Giles leans against the wall and tries to think. "Are you sure they were after Faith? Xander, this could be vital to determing what the vampires want...

(Buffy isn't fighting)
"Honetly, I don't think so, and it can't have anything to do with Kakistos. Faith killed him years ago." He was starting to believe that this is a case of mistaken identity, cause if this is something to do with Angel, then it has to do with Buffy as well. Xander ducked as a vampire came flying at him, he flew over to his head and into the wall behind him.

What the hell is going on, Faith thought.
During the commotion, she fought of her assailants and began beating on the closest vampire she could find. Being stakeless, she simply pounded his face in until he didn't move anymore.
All of the civilians began panicking and moving about the Bronze in a frenzy, making it harder for Faith to distinguish between vampire and human.
She noticed Angel across the room battling a group of them, and decided to make her way over to him.
But in the mist of all of the chaos, she ended up tripping and knocking her head against the pool table.
People began stepping over her, trying to find hiding spaces. Some jerk actually walked on top of her back, causing her to regurgitate all of the 'spirits' acquired earlier.
