Finally free, Faith massaged her hands and scratched her nose. Things were definitely getting interesting around here...
Desmond walked over to Xander and pulled him up so they were level, he leaned into Xander's neck and bit into his neck. "Ahh!" he screamed in pain.
Faith immediatly sprung into action, charging between the two of them and used her arms to force them apart. Then, focusing her strength, she latched onto Desmonds coat and headbut him.
Fighting through the pain, Faith struck him with her left fist. She could feel his teeth shatter upon impact. Then swung with her right fist and uppercut him, sending him flying into the air.
After he crashed to the floor a few feet away, she used her foot to smash a nearby stool and scrambled about fashioning a stake from the rubble....

"OK Giles, 1.....2.......3 GO!" She moved the little sun ball towards the vampires near the door and singed any that were trying to break through and hurt Giles, "Remember get Angel out of here!" She said to him, also picking up a stake to protedct herself from anyone that got too close for comfort.

(Angel is probably saying several different varieties of explicits right now, in english and in irish LOL!)
Desmond kicked Angel back and to the ground before getting up and grabbing the girl.
"No, wait--!" Angel shouted as he started to get up but it was too late.
A surge of anger and helplessness went through Angel all at once when he saw the girl die.
It was another innocent person killed, directly or indirectly, by Angelus. By him.
This split moment of shock gave another one of Desmond's minions a chance to grab him. But now that Angel was healing somewhat, Angel found it easy to grab him and throw him several feet in the air and into the glass mirror behind the bar. He didn't have the patience to kill him, he had to get to--
Then he saw Buffy.
Desmond said something and kissed her. The sight of it hurt him, but Angel was more concerned for her life at the moment. Angel looked hurt and shocked as Buffy was being tied up, but really he was taking the moment to think. He had to think. What will get this guy after Angel, instead of everyone else?
He needed to think quick, he resolved, because before he knew it Desmond grabbed Xander and bit him. He ran towards him but Faith, luckily, had escaped her chains and was coming at him with a stake. But of course, Desmond's minions would not make the job easy. Two of them grabbed Faith from behind before she was able to find something wooden. Angel took this opportunity to grab something from the rubble and charged at Desmond. Desmond was able to stand before Angel came at him, and caught Angel's wrist before the wood penetrated his chest. They backed up against the wall.
"Did I strike a nerve, Angelus?" Desmond snickered as both of their hands shook from pushing against each other's force.
"You don't care about you're family do you?" Angel answered with another question, his voice escaping through his teeth.
"I--"
"You're pretending that you do." Angel gripped the stake tighter and pushed harder, the tip touching his chest.
"I want you to suffer what you did. And you having a soul is making it considerably...." Suddenly Desmond twisted Angel's arm forcing in him to drop the stake, and punched him in the face, making him stumble back. "...easier."
Desmond started towards the chained Buffy. Angel had to think quick.
"She was scared you know." Angel said. Desmond paused. "Extremely scared. You're daughter. I remember hearing her heart racing from where I stood. I enjoyed it."
Desmond spun around, fury in his eyes from the memory. Angel knew it wasn't his family's death he was furious about, it was the pure lust for destruction and death. He knew it all too well. Giving Desmond the excuse to perpetuate that towards Angel's direction would be enough. Unfortunately for Angel, he was too immersed in the current fight to notice Willow and Giles emerging with the sun ball.
"She was crying." Angel continued mysteriously, his words escaping his lips slowly, cautiously. "Her body shook and she was calling out for you. But you couldn't do anything."
There was a brief moment of silence from Desmond. Come on, Desmond, Angel thought. If you want me, come and get me.
Sure enough, yelling angrily, Desmond charged at Angel, grabbed him by the throat and shoved him against the wall. Angel's feet dangled. "You deserve much more than death could ever give." He spat.

Buffy was taken by surprise as Desmond yanked her hair and kissed her. She tried to pull away, but the hold he had on her was too strong. It then clicked what he had said... and now it made sense why Faith had been abused before. This vampire was here to get revenge on Angel... by getting her? She then heard chains rattling and the kiss was finally over. Buffy made a show of spitting on the floor in disgust and was about to pick up the stake that had been discarded when she was suddenly grabbed.
She tried to struggle but she was feeling... weak? She was even starting to feel tired... what had Desmond done to her? Or was she just becoming fatigued over all the fighting she'd done? Through her almost closed eyes, Buffy could see Xander being bitten by Desmond and she tried to scream out, but she was too weak to make any noise. However, she managed a small smile of gratitude when Faith came to his rescue.
She then heard the worst part... Angel and Desmond talking. She felt like yelling at Angel in frustration for egging the other vampire on, but now she couldn't even open her mouth. What is happening to me? Buffy thought fearfully. The last thing she saw was Angel being shoved up against the wall before she finally gave up on keeping her eyes open and everything went black.

Everything was happening so fast. First Desmond was biting into his neck with the intention of turning him in to a vampire, then he had pinned Angel up against the wall. It was like every few seconds he would black out. He saw Buffy fall unconscious.
He ignored the blood rushing out of his neck, and rushed to her side, holding his hand over the wound to slow the bleeding. She was still breathing, but barely. He glanced over to Angel, by the looks of it he was still having trouble. "Faith! Go help Angel!"
He turned his attention back to Buffy. He got worried every time it looked like she had stopped breathing, then he stomach would come up. That's how much she was breathing. "Please Buffy, please don't die, please." Tears started to form in his eyes.
Two drops of blood fell from Xander's hand and onto Buffy's face as he rested his head upon hers.

It was like everything was happening in slow motion. Xander was losing alot of blood, Buffy was unconcious, and Angel was in trouble. Two vampires had grabbed her from behind and were dragging her towards the back room. Faith glanced back at the door, struggling with her captors. The door was opening and the harshest of bright lights spilt out from the room....
"Faith! Go help Angel!"

All of a sudden Giles comes onto the scene and shoots a crossbow bolt at Desmond, piercing him in the arm! Giles then quickly unties Buffy. "Are you okay Buffy? Did he hurt you much?" Giles was very concerned.
Unknowingly to Giles, Desmond pulls the arrow out and throws it at Giles, hitting him in the back of the shoulder. He falls to the floor, screaming in pain. "You old fool, thinking an arrow could stop me..now look at you...on your knees where you belong old begger! Now you can watch your slayer die and see what a failure you are!"
Giles shows pain in his face, then it quickly turns to anger. He gets back to his feet and picks up the crossbow. "You self centred coward of a vampire!" Giles begins shooting furiously with the crossbow at Desmond, letting out a howl of anger.
Desmond dodges the arrows and runs for cover. Giles then goes and helps Anger, telling him to take cover from the spell.

Willow followed behind Giles keeping ampires away from her with her mini ball of sun, she nearly lost her concentration when she heard Giles scream with pain, but she knew it was for that very reson she had to keep going. She looked around to make sure Angel wasn't anywhere, she saw him crouched on the floor were Desmond had dropped him.
"Angel" She shouted over to him "You need to get out now,otherwise my spell might kill you! She said, a few tears working their way through her anger into her eyes.

Angel grinned a bit at Desmond's threatening tone. "Did I strike a nerve?" he retorted back.
Desmond, still holding Angel up with one hand, punched him hard in the face several times until Angel morphed. Desmond then said, "I wanted to see that. I wanted to see the fact that killed them. The face that changed me into," He morphed himself. "...into this." Desmond took Angel an threw him several feet, making him land hard on his back. When Angel tried getting up, he saw Buffy pass out.
"What did you do to her?" Angel growled, his yellow eyes glaring as Desmond approached him.
"Oh." Desmond looked behind him to see Xander come to her aid, then turned back to Angel. "Would you not have chosen her to die?" He snickered through his fangs. "Would you have sacrificed the other slayer? Perhaps the other friends of yours?"
Angel got up and charged at him but Desmond picked him up mid-charge and flung his body against the wall. The impact made the wall crack and plaster fall everywhere. Angel hit the ground hard.
"Did you ever wonder why I'm stronger than you Angelus? Why two powerful slayers could not handle us mere vampires?" He started to approach Angel as he was doubled over on the ground in pain, the pain forced him out of his morph. "Did you ever wonder why you didn't foresee the inevitable? Your defeat? As I told you before Angelus, I did my research. I've been planning the worst way to make you suffer,"
"Couldn't find anything else to do with your eternal life, huh?" Angel said through the pain wrecking his body. "Gotta say, that's pretty sad, even for you."
"Oh but it paid off, you see. Stumbled into a little something called Black Magic. Made me a bit stronger than you remember all those years ago. And it also made me look at the idea of 'a deadly kiss' in a whole new way." He bent over him. "So Angelus, now you won't be able to save her. And if you try to attempt to do so, she has very little time to spare."
Suddenly, Giles started striking Desmond with arrows. He took one and threw it at Giles. Then, Giles started unleashing a slew of arrows at him. Angel turned his head and saw the sun ball Willow had created. He looked at Desmond, "Looks like you do too," he said to his last comment.
Desmond started to duck for cover and Angel start to stand. Giles came over to Angel to warn him about the spell. Yeah, considering he probably wouldn't get along with a sun spell too well Angel was way ahead of him. "Thanks," he said. He quickly scanned the area and knew he wasn't the only one who needed to get out of there.
He ran quickly over the Buffy, still clearly hurt from being thrown like a rag doll. He put a hand to Buffy's face, seeing her shallow breathing. "Buffy, stay with me," he said. He swallowed hard, the guilt really starting to hit him now. Buffy might die because of his past, the past that will never go away. It was hard to accept the fact that even though he knew he had a soul, Angelus was just as destructive and cruel today, acting strictly through ghosts from the past. Angel found himself feeling hopeless. How could he even live knowing he was still the direct reason for so much suffering? Redemption....a term that seemed completely still and dead now, just like his cold unbeating heart.
The smell of blood stuck his nostrils and he looked up, seeing Xander holding his neck, crimson streaming from the wound. He gazed over at Willow, the sun ball about to strike. Pulling himself together, he looked at Giles. "We have to get them out of here," He then realized something. "Faith? Where is Faith?" He gazed around the room quickly and saw the doors to back room just close. "She's in trouble. I'll go in the backroom and you can run the spell." He looked down at Buffy again, seeing the complete stillness of her body. He had to go... even if the last thing he wanted to do was leave her side. Without another word, though, he ran as fast as he could.
Take care of her Giles, he thought. The best thing for her is to be away from me.
He burst through the back door.

Xander untied Buffy and put her around his shoulders, she was quite light. He followed Angel out into the back room. There was nothing here he could do. Willow's spell was the only thing to save the day.
Xander lightly placed her on the floor. He noticed that her breathing becoming even shallower. He looked into Angel's eyes. His tears still unshed. "What are we going to do Angel? We can't take her to the hospital because what are we going to say? That's she was made breathless by a kiss due to dark magic?" His hysteria was making it self known. Tears started falling down his cheek. Xander heard screams from the vampires in the other room. Willow's spell was working.
Xander noticed that the door wasn't barricaded, so any vampire could get in. "We need to barricade the door!" Xander exclaimed.

Once the doors to the back room closed, the vampires threw Faith to the ground and morphed.
She wasn't particularly worried, two vamps didn't scare her. She took the time to catch her breath and gather her strength.
As they began to close in on her, she rose to her feet. That's when the door burst open and Angel came into the room. After him came a visibly shaken Xander carrying an injured Bufffy. He layed her on the ground and began babbling and crying.
"We need to barricade the door!" Xander exclaimed.
"No, open it." Faith ordered, "We forgot to take out the trash." She smirked, popping her knuckles...

Once Angel was out the room Willow let the sun ball expand to its full potential wiping out any nearby Vampires and keeping any others away, a couple of angry tears were falling down her face, she'd seen what they'd done to Buffy. "What have you done to her?" She demanded to Desmond, pushing the sun ball a little closer, but not enough to kill him, "FIX IT!" She demanded, her power flaring suddenly and the sun ball expanded beyond her control.
((OOC: Can someone RP as Desmond for me or write what he'd sort of do in this situation lol))

(Im posting as Desmond)
"You stupid, stupid witch" Desmond came foward mere inches away from the sun ball, he was uneffected by it. "You see, I not only made my self stronger, I also made it so I don't die the way a normal vampire would." To prove it her picked up a peice of wood from the ground and drove it into his own heart, nothing happened. The other vampires, that hadn't died from the sunball seemed to oblivious to this fact as they all gasped when he did it. Desmond back handed Willow and made her go flying into the stage. The sunball dissappered, "There's only one way to kill me".
A vampire, Desmond's minion came foward, "what did you do Desmond? No vampire should be like this, it's not right. What did you do?!" the vampire demanded. "Did you remove your heart." Desmond shook his head. "Did you...." the vampire suddenly clicked to what he did. He was to scared to say aloud what he did. "No Desmond, you didn't?" Desmond just smiled at him. "You've doomed us all Desmond!" The vampire pounced on him to get rid of him himself. Desmond was too quick, he grabbed the vampire by the shirt and flung him agaisnt the wall, before the vamp recovered Desmond pulled the stake out of his chest and threw it at the vampire getting him in the heart. It turned to dust. "Anyone else dare challenge me!" He yelled as he turned to the rest of his minions. They all shook their heads, "no, Master" they said in unsion.

"Oh....that's not good." Said Willow as Desmond was unaffected by anything that most Vampries would usually be killed by, "What have you done to yourself? what was that other vampire talking about?" She asked him, trying to control the sun ball before it destroyed anything major. She got it back to palm size but kept it raised infront of her to fend off ay other vampires that tried to get cocky with her.

Giles slowly gets up. "This is bad..." He mutters to himself. "Very bad....we must leave, there is nothing we can do."
