Near the village was a farm with a few stables in one of these old and dirty stables was a young woman busy feeding the animals and cleaning things up.

Her name was Winifred Burkle but her friends knew her as Fred.

“Friends, when was the last time I had those?” Fred thought wryly.

Fred exited the stable with an empty bucket in her hands to get some water when she heard the sound of someone crying.

Fred dropped the bucket and traced the sound to a young woman with dirty blond hair.

The woman was sitting with her back against the the stable wall, her face was strained with tears and her eyes where red from crying.

Fred just stood there for awile studying the woman not knowing what to do or say.

“Hi I’m Winifred Burkle.” Fred introduced herself. It had been some time since she talked with another human so this was the best she could do for now.

“My friends call me Fred….So you can call me Fred too, that is if you want to be my friend.” Fred immediately stopped her ratteling when the woman turned her head to look at her.

“I…..I’m….Bu..Buffy.” the woman finelley manged.

“Nice to meet you Buffy.” Fred replied. she was happy that she finally found someone to talk with.

“Leave us cow!” Silas barked at the groosalug who bowed and obyed imidiatly

“Ok that was rude.” Cordelia  said while staring impatiently at Silas.

“Your majesty we have a gift for you.” Silas explained after a beat.

“You know what? That’s great but I don’t need anymore gifts, I’ve got all the gifts I need.” Cordelia replied while lusting after the place she’d last seen the Groosalug.

Silas ignored Cordelia’s protests and waved to a couple of cows who immidatly came forward carying a sliver platter between them.

“Thanks but I already ate.” Cordelia said while eyeing the platter suspiciously

“We’ve brought you this traitors head as an example for all too see.” One of the cows said while removing the lid off the silver platter.

Cordelia gasped and grabbed her throne in shock.

On the platter lay the severed head of her demon friend Lorne.

“You shall be our new leader.” The rebel who called himself Sasha said to Wesley.

The other rebels seemed to agree.

“Very well then, we shall make a plan to attack the palace!” Wesley yelled.

“Excuse me but I ain’t attacking anything, why did they make you the leader anyway?!” Gunn whispered to Wesley carefully not to let the others hear.

“Well they obviously saw me as the smarter leader type kind off man.” Wesley answered.

“Yeah right.” Gunn snorted.

--When they where about to die one of the Deathwok demons who happened to be Landok stopped the rebels from decapitating them.

After Landok explained that Wesley & Gunn where the good guys he left again mumbling something about a thing he had to collect.--

“Listen we have to attack the castle in order to save Cordy and stop Wolfram & Hart.” Wesley explained still whispering.

“All I’m trying to say it would be a lot easier with Angel around.” Gunn replied.

At that moment their ears where filled with a loud roar

“What was that?!” Gunn asked trying to figure out where the sound came from.

Out of nowhere there was a loud growl followed by some kind of monstrous creature that landed right in front of Wesley & Gunn.

The creature had a green skin and its face was covered with horns, it had huge sharp teeth and claws.

“Don’t move maybe it’ll leave.” Wesley whispered well standing frozen on the spot.

“Or maybe it’ll eat us first.” Gunn replied when the creature came closer and closer.

The rebels slowly surrounded the creature trying to make as little sound as possible.

“Wait.” Wesley ordered. If the rebels attacked it would only make the creature angrier than it apparently already was.

The rebel Sasha had enough of waiting he grabbed a sword and advanced on the creature that had its back turned to him.

But the creature seemed to know what was about to happen and in only a few second it had turned around and lashed at Sasha with one of its claws.

The other rebels attacked as well trying to aid Sasha who was now lying on the ground unconscious.

Everyone even Gunn attacked except for Wesley who studied the creature in shock.

The suddenly a girl appeared not to far away from the creature her hand was what seemed to be the colour of blood.

She waved her hand high in the air and after a few minutes she turned around and ran away followed by the creature that was growling and thirsty for blood.

“Man we really gotta find Angel.” Gunn stated after he made sure everyone was alright

Sasha was still unconscious but other than that he seemed fine.

“I don’t think we have to find Angel anymore.” Wesley replied staring in the distance.

“Why what’s wrong?” Gunn asked not understanding what Wesley was trying to say.
