"Angelus is here," I desperately tried to keep my voice calm for Jenny's sake.
"Oh God!"
"It's going to be alright. Stay by my side and I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." I indicated for Jenny to come over to me, which she did. Every muscle was tense as we waited to see what Angelus would do.
From the small window beside Giles' door, I watched Angelus reach the door and stop. He'd seen the crosses. I just hoped they would stop him from entering! He snarled. I felt Jenny shaking beside me, and I placed a reassuring hand on her arm. Angelus seemed to be contemplating his options. He swiftly turned around. To my horror I saw Giles coming down the steps. Jenny voiced my thoughts, "Rupert! Oh God! No!"
I made a split second decision. "Stay next to me, no-matter what," I told Jenny, as I shoved the chair out of the way and yanked open the door. "Angelus!" I shouted. He spun around and looked at me. Seeing Jenny behind me, he snarled and said to me, "So it was you. Nice little trick."
"Yeah, I think so. And I've got plently more of them up my sleeve." While I spoke I was only too aware of the fact that Angelus was postioned inbetween Giles and I. I needed to think of a way to allow Giles safe passage over to us. But what?
I needed to move fast before Angelus attacked. Okay here goes nothing. With a sweep of my hand, I sent Angelus flying off to the right, clearing a route from the left for Rupert. "Giles, run here now!" I yelled. Giles quickly complied and sprinted over to Jenny and I.
I stepped aside as he squeezed past me, over the threshold. "Both of you, do the uninvite spell," I commanded. "There's stuff in my bag. I'll keep Angelus at bay."
Angelus was back on his feet, and extremely angry. "Oh, we have a witch do we?"
I shook my head. "Nah! It's all in the mind."
He started to approach me. With another swish of my hand, I halted his progress with a large ball of flame. The look on his face was priceless as he saw it zooming towards him. At the last moment, I willed it to circle him, like a lasso of fire, forcing him to stay in one place as it continuously circled his body just a centimetre from touching him. "Ooh, this is fun!" I joked and grinned at him. "Now, as much as I'd like to stay here and play, I've got other stuff to do, so are you gonna clear off and go back to your factory or do I have to persuade you some more? Hmm?"
He glared at me. I pointed in the direction of the steps. "Go."
"The fire?"
"Although I'd really like to see you turn to dust, Angel has some parts to play yet, so I suppose I'm going to have to remove it. Darn!" The fire dissipated. "But don't get any funny ideas. You try to do anything other than go straight back to the factory and stay there, and I'll know and send a nice rain of holy water down on you. Not enough to disintegrate you, but enough to reeeeallly hurt." I smiled sweetly at him.
Taking my threat seriously, Angelus turned and walked off. I called after him, "Don't you know by now that good ALWAYS wins!"
I stayed outside, guarding the doorway, until Giles and Jenny had finished the uninvite spell. Once it was finished, I gave each of them a hug and then vanished back to my own reality.
