THIRD PERSON POV

"Come on, mum, please?" Buffy and Joyce were walking through the Sunnydale mall later in the evening. Together they were shopping and running some errands. Buffy had tried an outfit on, and was pleading with her mother to purchase the outfit but Joyce was not budging. Joyce sends Buffy on a mission to collect an outfit for her, although only after Buffy teases her. 

After leaving her mother, Buffy gets distracted by a man and a girl, eventually following them and discovering the man was a vampire ready for his next feed.

"Angel?" Camila steps through the door of Angel's apartment, calling out to him. After closing the door gently behind her, she sees him placing some books back on the shelf. "You ready?" 

"Let's go." he replies, shrugging his leather jacket on before following Camila into the night air. Together they walked down the back alleys before reaching the Bronze. 

"Here vampires, here." Camila mutters, stake clutched in her jacket pocket. Behind her, Angel holds back a laugh as she continues to look around for vampires. "What are you laughing at?" she asks, raising an eyebrow at him. 

"They aren't going to just come to you." Angel says, his hands shoved in his jacket pockets. 

"I know. Just thought i'd try." she responds, folding her arms across her chest. There is a moment of silence before a scream is heard in the alley across from them. Camila's eyes widen as she looks at Angel before they both begin walking fast towards the noise. At the end of the alley, there was a couple. Softly Camila creeps in the shadows to reach them. As she approaches the man, she kicks the back of his knee, letting him drop to the ground, his wide eyes looking up at her. "Hi there." she smiles sweetly before watching him scramble from the ground. 

"Oh look at you. Such a pretty little thing." he taunts, standing opposite her. 

"Oh please." she smirks, grabbing his forearm as he lunges at her, flipping him over and backhanding him so he stumbles backwards. Before he can make another move, she roundhouse kicks him into the wall, shoving her arm against his throat, the stake pushing into his chest. "See how you like it." she seethes before pushing forwards slightly, the stake piercing his heart. Satisfied, she turns to see Angel comforting the girl. "Are you alright?" Camila asks gently, standing beside where the girl was sitting on a crate. 

"What was he?" she trembles, looking to the space that he was in. 

"A very bad man." Angel replies looking at Camila slightly. She raises an eyebrow at him before turning back to the girl. 

"Do you want Angel to walk you home?" Camila asks and the girl nods, standing as Angel offers his arm. 

"Thank you." she smiles and Camila nods. 

"All in a days work. Get her home safely Angel, i'll see you later." she then turns on her heel and walks the opposite way to Angel, her leather jacket flowing in the breeze.

"Mmmmm."

"Ohhhh." the broom closet was dark, two figures melting together in a passionate embrace. "Xander?" 

"Shhhh." 

"I'm just worried that we're going to miss class-" there is a pause before the light turns on. Now exposed to each other, Cordelia and Xander back away from each other. 

"You know. It's really better for me if you don't talk." Xander replies and Cordelia rolls her eyes. 

"Well. It's really better for me with the lights off." she argues, reaching for the string that turns the light off. As soon as the light is off and the pair are surrounded by darkness again, the room is filled with the familiar sound of kissing. Then the light is back on.
