made a few spelling corrections thanks to TheShadowCat, thanks and damn my eyes.

TheShadowCat: The door will now be opened, enjoy.
Josie: Thanks i'm glad you're enjoying story.
Chibifae: I'm happy you're liking it.
Anubiset: Can I just say, Wow! And thank you. You are really nice and great and any others words for nice that writers should know, but I can�t actually think of right, now. And no, no beta, just me and my spell checker, which doesn�t actually notice some words. You�ve sounded really busy lately so I don�t blame you for not realising what I�ve been up to. And I�ll definitely be reading that story when you�re done. I�m glad you�re enjoying what I�m doing and I really do want to include Tara somewhere, her and Willow were good together. Who knows maybe soon. And I�m thinking about more stories in the series, but it�d have to be after I get some other stories finished. They�ve been waiting for ages. Anyway thanks again. You really know how to compliment someone *blushes*
Alice: Glad you enjoyed the loving. And i know it's not a main point, but yeah i tried to show some relationship between the two, hoping it would make it work.

Just before Giles got to the door the knocking turned into pounding, rapid thumps nearly shacking the doorframe.
�All right, all right. Don�t take the bloody door off.� he yanked the still slightly loose door open being careful not to pull the very fragile handle back off. In front of him stood a soldier looking very ashen. His eyes were blood shot and the fear radiating from him told anyone who was looking that he was scared half to death.
A couple of soft growls were heard from Dru and Oz upon seeing the soldier, but it was just from discomfort, they also, thanks mainly to a couple of looks from Spike and Xander, didn�t try and attack him. The soldier didn�t even notice the vampires or hear their growls, his eyes still slightly glazed over and uncomprehending of his location.
�Dear Lord!� Giles startled as the soldier seemed to be overcome with dizziness or maybe fatigue that made him wobble, then fall into Giles� arms. Riley was up in an instant and relieving Giles of his burden as he bypassed the vampire group and placed the soldier on the now vacated couch.
The soldier was panting slightly and everyone backed away as a familiar expression crossed his face, he looked like he was about to vomit, but thankfully a glass of water was in front of Riley�s face before he could ask for it.
�He looked a little ill.� Buffy said as she handed Riley the water. She didn�t smile as he thanked her with one of his own, but she didn�t glare either, so that was an improvement.
After drinking enough of the water that he looked like he wasn�t going to spew immediately all over the floor, Riley began to ask some questions in his clipped soldier tone. He seemed to be in army debriefing mode, so no one bothered to interrupt.
�What�s the situation soldier?�
�Sir. It, it was horrible.� the soldier shook his head sadly, he looked almost like he was going to go into shock. Whatever had happened must have been bad. Then adding to the fact that the Initiative had been blown up along with some of his friends while the others had died in the fight and all of this in such a short time would have anyone�s sanity on the edge of snapping.
�What was it? Jake. Jake.� Riley could tell that Jake wasn�t listening and the more personal tone of voice and use of his name wasn�t going to get much of a reaction from the gently rocking man either.
�S-so much blood.� at the mention of blood Buffy�s ears pricked up as did the vampires�.
Jake carried on muttering to himself, not noticing the people around or if he did not paying attention; and then came the shaking. Riley looked at the Jake, he thought for a moment and tried to decide what to do. They still needed their answers.
�Soldier! At attention!� there was no reply. �At attention!.� he repeated more forcefully, the soldier finally snapping out of his slight decent into madness and shooting off the couch then standing stock still, arms at his side, his whole body as straight as an arrow.
�Now, tell me.� Buffy coughed from behind him, �um . . tell us, what happened.� he placed a comforting hand on Jake�s shoulder and pushed him back into the couch, so he at least could feel a bit more comfortable. They waited for him to relax as best he could before he gave the information.

He and the other soldiers had been at the mansion for over 5 hours and were resting the afternoon away especially with nothing to do. There weren�t many places to lay down and relax, but at least some soldiers had the resourcefulness to gather together some provisions such as ration foods and sleeping bags when they escaped, which meant that some were at least comfortable, these being the injured. The others lay where they could, mainly being the cold concrete floor. It wasn�t too bad with the fire burning in the main room where they all were, heating them and the surrounding area up.
They were all dozing as it came to sundown when suddenly a scream of pain echoed around the mansion. It came again and again shattering the silence and calm that had settled over the soldiers. They all looked for the cause running in mad circles around the corridors and looking into rooms. The screams intensified and then were joined by a hell of a lot more, all shrieking and hollering in pain. Calls for help could also be heard underneath their agony. Cries for who ever it was to stop and the begging, that was the worst, soldiers never begged, it was rule one in training, it showed weakness. It made the other soldiers worry even more.
With the more screams, the volume increased and the soldiers were able to pinpoint the direction they were coming from, but by the time they had reached back to the main room the soldiers screams had died down to nothing and it was too late.
In the main room they found around 8 soldiers thrown in a sloppy pile on top of each other, guts spilling from their slashed stomachs and throats torn out savagely until they and the floor were liberally coated in blood, which even now, still slowly gurgled out of one mans neck. What shocked the group the most was that more then half the people on the pile were the soldiers left in the room to guard the injured soldiers who were actually left untouched.
Jake was the soldier chosen to get Riley and the others who had helped them all escape, because right now, they had no idea what they were up against. The remaining soldiers gathered what few weapons they had and took on the defensive, waiting for whatever the demon was to come back. They all crouched on the floor the farthest distance away from the bodies piled in front of them, the injured placed further behind them. No one wanted to go near the pile of bodies left there in the middle of the room, showing the soldiers what could happen to them next.

Jake retold his story with as much detail as possible, but focusing mainly on the broken and bloody bodies of the other soldiers. They all knew he had snapped, that the sight he had witnessed was the last straw and had now left Jake totally unable to cope.
He was unresponsive now, eyes glazed, pale skin and his hair was plastered to his head from sweating either because of his fear or his nervousness around the others, it may have been both. Beads of sweat also adorning his forehead and upper lip, slowly dripped down the side of his face and mingled with the silent tears that ran from his eyes. The small shakes that ran through his body at random intervals caused the man to look weak and scared even with all the muscles.
All the others could do was look on with worry, they really couldn�t do anything for him now and they had to get to the mansion to help the others as soon as possible. In the end it was Buffy who took charge.
�Ok, everyone listen up. Me, Riley, Xander and his vampire posse,� Spike glared at that. �are going to check out what the hell happened there. Willow, when it�s light enough you can go back to campus check on things, make sure no one�s seen anything like free roaming demons or anything.�
�I�ll stay here and wait for any details you have forthcoming once you have seen the demon.� Giles chimed in. �And maybe clean this place up a bit more.� he added, noticing some more blood covering part of his floor.
�Fine all set we�re good to go.� they all nodded at Buffy. Spike adding in a huff as they left Giles� place and headed towards the mansion . The still shacking Jake being led by Riley.

It didn�t take the group long to get to the mansion especially since they ran the whole way there. Riley almost had to carry Jake there as his shaking increased the closer they got. And then there was the muttering, which got louder and more frequent until it became a chant of blood, blood, blood. It proved to them that some soldiers weren�t really cut out for the type of fighting they were experiencing.
As soon as they walked through the main doors into the mansion the pile of bodies could be seen and the congealing blood had even ran to the doorway making the group leave bloody foot prints on the floor. Buffy went in first followed by Riley and Jake as they went over to talk to the remaining soldiers.
The vampires headed in behind them being cautious and using their heightened senses to pick up any noises or scents that weren�t familiar, but everything was, it was all the same, the smell of hints of magic and the smell of Angel, which would be obvious, but inhaling more Spike and Dru came to a realisation, his scent was stronger. It wasn�t the scent that was usually there and faded over time. It was new and strong and it was intermingled in the air.
It was shocking to both of them, but Dru more then Spike who knew that Angel would have to go somewhere after leaving the Initiative. He turned to Xander worry showing clearly on his face, even though he tried hard to look normal. He turned to glance over quickly at Buffy before Xander could see his concern. She was busy asking questions to the soldiers some of which were shaking just as much as Jake had when he first arrived at Giles�, but they really weren�t coping much better. He sighed heavily and made his way over to her.
Xander watched Spike, had been watching him since they�d entered the mansion. He�d seen him tense after sensing something that Xander or Oz couldn�t pick up. He�d even seen the worry on his face from under lowered lashes, but he just didn�t understand what was wrong, even Dru seemed a little nervous as she wasn�t happily spinning or wondering about, quiet Dru was an anxious Dru.
He saw Spike interrupt Buffy and her scowl at him for doing so, but then her face paled and her eyes bugged out of her head in shock. Xander stared hard at the scene concerned for Buffy�s welfare. Then all of a sudden Xander�s blood ran cold, a name he never thought he�d hear again was screeched out at the top of her lungs in shock and echoed around the mansion.
�ANGEL!!!!� and a howl responded leaving everyone�s hair standing on end. The soldiers hunched closer to each other and Spike rushed over to Xander seeing the pale face turn even paler, leaving Buffy, face awash with tears and gasping slightly as if in pain.
Riley was unsure whether he was stepping over the line by wanting to comfort her over her obvious distress, but decided a hand on her shoulder wouldn�t be rebuffed, it wasn�t.
Everyone was quiet, anticipating something, anything. The only one speaking was Dru and it seemed she thought she was whispering, but everyone could hear her.
�Daddy�s back Puppy and he�s mean. He�s angry daddy, hands, face, heart and soul all covered in blood, it would be pretty if it wasn�t so sad.� Buffy started to sob.
