| Episode4 PAN MANSION BEDROOM (DAY) We open up in a mansion bedroom cover in direct morning light. We see Angelus lying on the bed, he starts to twitch, he slowly wakes up and seeing the sunlight hitting him, he jumps out of the bed looking for a dark place but then notices he isn�t burning. He then starts to look around and see the room has a big door leading out to a garden, that is wide open letting in direct sunlight and a small place above the door, where a window would be, but there isn�t one there. Symbols are painted on the doorway and around the window, he walks over to a doorway and puts his arm out of the doorway but it starts to burn. He pulls it back in quickly and turns as he hears footsteps coming. To see a woman in a vamp face older than anything we�ve ever seen. This woman is tall, and still under that old vamp face she is still beautiful, flowing blonde hair, and a gorgeous golden tan skin. She is wearing nice tight jeans and a wonderful silk tank top showing her body off nicely. Her arms are cover in the same symbols as the doors and you can see that the symbols go up her arms and down her body. Woman: �Ah, you�re up finally. I was afraid you were going to sleep the day away; it�s such a pretty day.� Angelus looks at her, she seems familiar but he can�t place it. Angelus: �What�s going on? Where am I?� Woman: �You�re still in L.A. only up in the mountains. I have heard of you Angelus, but nothing good of late.� Angelus looks at the woman and smiles. Angelus: �Yeah, well, I�ve been out of commission for a while, but I�ll get back into the swing of things.� Angelus looks around at the room at the symbols. Angelus: �Those symbols�� Woman: �Keep the suns rays from frying you? Yes. A little majick trick I picked up in my lifetime.� Angelus: �Look, I�m grateful for what you did, but I don�t play well with people I don�t know, or care to know.� Woman: �You will care to know me, Angelus, I am Victoria Aurelius.� Angelus: �Aurelius� As in the Order Of Aurelius?� Victoria: �That is the order I started and my childe, Nest, took control over.� Angelus: �Nest?� Victoria: �I forgot, he changed his status after he took control, I believe you know him as �The Master�.� Angelus looks at her and now seems to be able to place her. Angelus: �You sired him, didn�t you?� Victoria: �He had such potential, just like you.� Victoria starts to head down a hallway that is cover in more symbols and direct sunlight. Angelus follows her. PAN BANQUET HALL They come to a big banquet hall, covered in direct sunlight and symbols, there are live humans surrounding a table, talking and having a good time. Angelus just looks at the table and then at Victoria. Victoria: �I figured you�d be hungry so I had these brought here for you, all different types and from different areas, but all fresh, so please take your pick.� Angelus walks around the table but when none act like the see him he looks at Victoria. Angelus: �What�s wrong with them?� Victoria laughs a little. Victoria: �A hunter to the end, aren�t you? Nothing is wrong with them; they are under a glamour, if you like, I can take it off of the one you wish so you may hear them scream, I know that was your forte.� Angelus walks around the table and picks a small young child, girl. Victoria waves her hand and then we see the young woman look of panic and she starts to scream. Angelus just revels in the child�s screams and then we see him morph and bite down on her neck. We see the child fall to the ground and Angelus looks up; he has a small about of blood on his cheek. Victoria walks over and hands Angelus a napkin. He cleans off the little bit of blood on his cheek. Victoria: �Now that you have eaten, let us get down to business.� Victoria heads down another set of halls cover in light and in symbols. We stop at a door and she pushes it open. PAN TO ROOM It is a big room and really decked out. The main thing in the room, however, is the chair in the direct sunlight. Victoria heads to the chair and have a seat, Angelus has a seat as well. Angelus: �Look like I said before I don�t play well with others and I don�t like working with people I�ve never known.� Victoria: �Trust me Angelus you will want to hear what I have to offer you.� End Teaser Fade into Credits Starring David Boreanez as Angel Amy Acker as Illyria James Marsters as Spike Alyson Hannigan as Willow Eliza Dushku as Faith Vincent Kartheiser as Connor Guest Starring Jennifer O�Dell as Victoria Aurelius PAN HYPERION LOBBY. We see the gang all around the counter. Each member is tending to the wounds they have. Faith: That is the third vamp nest we�ve clean out this morning. You sure that, that woman was a vamp? Spike: Yeah I�m sure. She even seemed really familiar but I can�t seem to place it. Willow: We need to find them soon. I�ve been trying to do a locator spell but something is blocking it. With what you told me, Spike, the way she just walked out into the sun like that carrying Angelus she must have some knowledge of majick. Connor: And the way she looked made her seem like she was old, and I mean way old, like older than anything I�ve ever seen. Willow, faith, and Spike all smile at each other as if to share an inside joke. Connor just looks at the group strangely. Illyria: We need to find Angelus we should head back out. Faith: whoa there girl we need to get clean up here. Illyria tilts her head. Illyria: how long must you need to clean battle wounds? We have to leave now. Spike: I get what you�re saying Illyria, but I think right now we need to rest we�ve been to three vamp nest in less than 12 hours and none of them know anything, if you want to go back out be my guest but we need to clean up. Illyria tilts her head again and then heads out the door. Connor faces Spike. Connor: you had to say that didn�t you? Connor runs out after Illyria. Spike just looks at the front door. PAN TO GARDEN Illyria is about to head pass the gate when she stops. Connor comes running up beside her. Connor: hey hold up Illyria stops and faces Connor Illyria: I will not listen to you. You are the reason we have to do this. Connor bows his head. Connor: I know Connor then looks up. Connor: but you can�t go out there on you own, you know that. Illyria turns around so fast that that Connor doesn�t even see the hand that reaches for his throat. Illyria looks at him then cocks her head, and lets him go. Illyria: as much as a displeases me to say, you are not wrong. Connor is rubbing his neck. Connor: yeah well good He turns around and heads back in leaving Illryia in the garden Illyria then closes her eyes and is not moving at all, clearly resting. PAN TO LOBBY Connor walks back in, and see faith and willow looking at him. Connor: well I don�t think she�s going to go off anytime soon Connor looks around but doesn�t see spike. Connor: where�s spike? Faith: he went for a bite in the kitchen, so she�s still out there? Connor: yeah Willow: so what are we going to do |
