The sound of screams filled the air as the blood red moon came into to view over the graveyard. The screams just made the moon look even more beautiful. Almost as if one could not be there without the other. The chill of winter made it seem like a scene from a horror movie. Connor ran past the graves in search of the person screaming. Maybe he wouldn't just find a lifeless body but he doubted it. The scream stopped almost two minutes ago. Making survival next to none. Coming up on a clearing with very few graves he could smell blood. Too much to come from just one person. There was no sign of foul play, still he couldn't help but get an eerie feeling. Smell of blood and screaming is never a good sign. At least not in his experience.

Moving out of the light of the moon Connor saw two human-like figures a short distance away. He guessed these vampire decided not to go with that strange truce. He took out the crossbow he took from Buffy. He had good aim and they weren't that far away he pulled the trigger releasing the arrow. “Bullseye!” he quietly cheered positive that he hit the heart. Looking up he saw that the two figures turned into to six. Though he would love to say he fought off six vampires but he's not stupid. “Shit,” he ran as they picked up where he was. Throwing the crossbow into the bushes to take the chase up and over a couple of crypts. As he jumped on a crypt one of the vampires grabbed one of his legs. “Get off,” kicking the vampire in the face.

Oh now now, that just wouldn't do. So this was his miracle boy. There was a gang of vampires attacking him, maybe five or six in the group, and there he was, flailing around and throwing his weapon into the bushes. Clearly, Angel'd done something wrong in raising him. Not that he'd really raised him at all. But that wasn't the point. See, if anyone was going to kill this kid, it was going to be him. He was feeling oddly paternal today.

So many vampires in this town, it was really something. Almost like being back in L.A. You know, home sweet home. He'd always had something of a following there, a handful of folks who liked to hang around and remind him of all the evil, evil things that he'd done. Turned a woman here, burned a nunnery there. It was cute, how much they thought he cared. The vampires here were the same. But now these mooks were getting in the way of his fun. Really, he appreciated the fan club and all, but his time with Connor? That was something he wanted all to himself. Sauntering into the pack, he tapped what looked like the head vamp on the shoulder. ... and promptly removed his head.

"Connor, Connor, Connor," he mock-chastised. "I've got to ask you something." Learning in, he pulled his son's face close to his, all wicked smiles and teeth. "How did you survive this long being so retarded?"

Connor was perfectly capable of making his own choices in a fight. Neither Holtz or Angel could control what the boy did when he was being attack. Or even doing the attacking some times. He had learned a lot from both but still Connor usually relied on his fight or flight instinct. In the case it was leaning more towards flight which is why he ran. Throwing the crossbow was just mere instinct as well. He couldn't really do any type of hand to hand combat with it. Also it wasn't the only thing Connor brought to keep him company during this patrol.

Connor had no choice but to jump down after he kicked the vampire in it's face. Getting pulled down half way had made him lose his grip. Just as he turned to face the vampire dust filled the air. He missed the whole removal progress but the vampire was dusted so it didn't matter.

Then Connor saw Angel, well Angelus and Connor froze. He turned his head lightly as Angelus came in close his eyes didn't leave Angelus' face though. "By always having a trick up my sleeve," he said as he kicked Angel back. The other vampires charged at Connor.
