'Angel': 'Time and Tide' (Part 2) by Corrinna Bechko

With Angel’s help, Fred escapes the clutches of Angelus and Darla, and together they hide in the ship’s hold. They are found by the scarab’s owner, and in the resulting scuffle the beetle gets loose and attacks a crewman - causing a second creature to hatch out of the man’s forehead. The scarabs quickly multiply as they attack the rest of the crew, leaving the men in a zombie state after each hatching. Things go from bad to worse when the Galene is boarded by pirates, who quickly fall victim to the scarabs. Angel tries ordering the crew to abandon ship, but is overruled by the captain. After binding Fred’s forehead to keep her safe from the scarabs, Angel takes her to a lifeboat, but they are interrupted by the arrival of Angelus and Darla. Illyria regains control of Fred’s body and overpowers the two vampires, hurling them overboard into the lifeboat; however, Angel is less than happy at Ilyria’s intervention – she has just put his past self in an open-air boat two hours before sunrise…
