Dracula's Daughter

Author’s Notes: I’m messing with Angel’s time line in this one. Here are the changes, Cordy is already part demon and can sense people’s alignments, Fred is already there though still locking herself in her room and Caritas didn’t end up with Angel’s car through a wall. Ohh, and one more thing, one of my reviewers made a comment on spelling errors in Chapter 5, if anyone else sees errors please let me know, and tell me what they are not just there are errors. My story isn’t beta’d so there may be errors, sorry. And yes the Angel characters may be a bit off but I only watched Angel like twice.

Chapter 7: Threats in the Dark
Shell Gas station outskirts of L.A.

Venka’s POV

I’m walking out of a Shell station, having just paid for gas for my bike, when I hear a scream and the sound of a struggle from a near by alley. Never being one to let an innocent get hurt, I run toward the sounds. As I run around the corner I spot three large demons cornering a young dark haired woman, who from the vibes I’m getting is a seer, well that and at that moment the largest of the three yells out “We’re gonna kill you seer.”, kind of hard to not hear the loud mouth. “I don’t think they heard ya in Romania mate.” runs through my head, I hate loud mouths.

So at that I draw my sword and with one swipe I remove the heads of the two standing at the alley’s mouth, the dumb asses were standing RIGHT next to each other, stupid move that. The loud mouth turns at the sounds of the falling bodies, the heads that rolled by him, he sees me and tries to tackles me to the ground, idiot, I just side step and as he passes remove his head. I snort, looking at the three corpses as they turn to goo, three demons down in less then a minute, Venka:3 Demons:0.

I sigh and turn to the intended victim. She is leaning on the wall at the end of the alley, staring at the dissolving corpses and my sword. I see that my sword is making her nervous so I clean it with a bit of canvas I keep for that and replace it back in its sheath. I look back at the woman, she sees me watching her and tries a weak smile, I just grin and ask if she is hurt, oh I know she doesn’t have any cuts ‘cause I’d smell blood but for all I know the “Three Stooges” could have broken a few bones. She tells me she is fine as she starts to leave the alley, she just about falls when she puts pressure on her right foot, I catch her and help her over to my bike telling her to sit down and tell me where it hurts. She starts to protest but the look I give her is enough to get her to do as I say.

She sits down and says it’s her right ankle, so I take off her high heels, not smart foot wear, to take a look. “It’s just a sprain; you should go home and put it up, maybe wrap it and put some ice on it. Or better yet go to a hospital and have a Doctor look at it.” I get told no hospital; I just sigh and offer her a ride home. I get a look from her but she says ok and tells me how to get to the Hyperion Hotel as she puts her shoe back on. I hand her a helmet and we head off.

Cordelia’s POV

Great, my vision showed me ONE demon attacking a girl, not three; I so should have gotten one of the guys to come with. But Gunn is helping a friend, Angel is helping Kate, and Wesley is trying to get Fred out of her room, I saw one demon so I thought I could take one demon, guess my vision was wrong, just my luck, well at least the girl got away, I’m dead though, damn.

I grab a pipe off the ground; at least all go down fighting. But as the biggest of the three comes closer yelling “We’re going to kill you seer.” the two behind him fall with a thud, their heads rolling by, eww. The big one turns, to see what happened I guess, and we both see a woman standing in the shadow at the alley’s mouth, with a sword of all things. The big one tries to tackle the woman, but she sidesteps and as the demon falls takes his head, at that I let the pipe fall in shock, is she human?? That happened to fast for her to be fully human. At that she turns and looks at me, I just eye her sword; she sees that and cleans the sword then hides it behind her back in her coat.

I watch her trying to tell if she feels evil, yes feel, ever since becoming part demon I’ve been able to tell if people or creatures are good, evil or neutral and she feels neutral to me. She looks at me and I try a weak smile, she just grins and asks if I’m ok. I say I’m fine as I start to leave the alley but when I put my right foot down I nearly fall from the pain coming from my ankle.

Mystery woman catches me and helps me over to a black motorcycle telling me to sit down and asking where it hurts. I start to protest but the look she gives me makes me tell her “it’s my right ankle.” She removes my shoes and looks at my foot and ankle saying “It’s just a sprain; you should go home and put it up, maybe wrap it and put some ice on it. Or better yet go to a hospital and have a Doctor look at it.”

I tell her no, she just sighs and offers me a ride home. That surprises me; I look at her but say ok and tell her how to get to the Hyperion as I put my shoe back on. She hands me a helmet and we head off.

The Hyperion Hotel

Venka’s POV

We pull up in front of the rundown hotel, as the lady gets off I take a look at the building, it’d been 70 or more years since the place was built, I’d been there even lived in the place for a bit. I sigh as I help the seer inside as she babbles on about the hotel’s history and her friends who she works with running a P.I firm, I just let it slide by not really caring. I help her to a seat on one of the couches in the lobby and ask if she wants me to get anybody, as I say this two people come in, from the basement if the building layout is same. One is female mid to late 20’s, blonde, a little shorter then me and just screaming COP, the other is a dark broody looking guy in his mid 20’s, good looks, taller than me around 6’0, 6’1 maybe and giving of the vibes of a demonic vampire but with a odd undertone, if it wasn’t for the fact I can sense the guys demon I’d think he was 2nd Gen.

The seer sighs, still haven’t asked her name, and ask the vampire to get her a ice pack saying she hurt her ankle, huh she called the vamp Angel, now that explains the vibes. He is one of the vampires my gypsy kin cursed with a soul.

I remember this one well; I met Angelus after he was sired by Darla the favorite Childe of The Master head of the Order of Aurelius. Angelus and Darla tried to kill a Slayer I was protecting, they got away but only because a demon decided to show up, but they left a bloody mess. I haven’t seen either of them since then, though I did hear that Darla had been killed by Angel, don’t know how true that is…maybe I’ll ask. I met Angelus’ childe Drusilla and her childe Spike in New York when Spike killed the Slayer Nikki Woods, wasn’t happy about that and I’ve been trying to track his ass down for years now, I came to late to save Nikki but I did make sure her son Robin found a good home and learned about his mother and the other slayers, good boy I’ve kept an eye on him over the years. Bella would be proud of the Slayer I am heading to protect, she took out the Master and bypassed a prophesy as well.

I watch as Angelus returns with the ice pack handing it to the Seer, he calls her Cordy so I guess that is her name, my eyes never leave his form, I ignore the cops questions letting the Seer answer them. Angelus look me in the eyes, I know he remembers me because he start to back away as he says my name gaining me a look from the Seer as I snicker saying, ” I’m honored you remember me Angelus. How has life been with the curse? No moments of true happiness I hope, don’t want you losing that soul of yours Dead Boy.” with that I grin, it’s not a nice grin, it’s the grin that whenever Connor or D sees it they run as far away as possible. Angelus isn’t so smart, he stops and look sat me, though the Seer must feel something because she scoots away from me as Angelus comments, “No Venka, no moments of true happiness.” At that I laugh, “Liar, I know for a fact you’ve lost your soul in the past few years, I heard about the Acathla incident as well boyo.” I get up at that and stalk over to him, without a second thought I grab him by the throat and pick him up off of his feet saying, “Lose your soul again and prophesy or not you’re dead.” I shake him at that saying, “Do you understand me Angelus?” at that I drop him. I get a whimpered yes as I stalk out not wanting to stay around the idiot.

The End.
Longest Chapter yet.
Yes I know Venka didn’t lay in to him much but I really can’t get it to work... Just comes out sounding weird.
