Beginning!

Eternity! It wasn't so bad, she could tell. Well at least not the big part of it. Once you got the hang of it, it was pretty funny actually. She had lived in many cities – Paris, Rome, Milan, Madrid, Istanbul, Tokyo, Sidney and many more. Now she lived in Los Angeles, it was nice, big shops, big clubs, and big libraries. She was searching if you'd like, but soon she understood that what she was looking for, she couldn't find here. Now all she had to do is wait for backup. She pressed her back to the cold wall to relax her burning tattoo that resembled black rose circled by a snake. The time was coming, her destiny was awaiting her.

Buffy, Xander, Dawn and Anya were sitting in the Magic Box reading Giles's old books, when suddenly Buffy jumped up and growled in frustration.

"That's it. I can't do it anymore. Dawn, why are we just passing book by book and you can't get your eyes off yours?"

"Oh! Giles send this to me. It tells stories about people who were actually good and were helping fight the demons. Now they are all dead, or so I thought, but when I read this I was amazed. This book is based on other people's notes and that's why it can't be fake but listen to this. 4 August 1153 year after Christ. ' We were surrounded. Our enemies had The Judge and we had just ourselves and our weapons. The Judge sent his soldiers against us. We thought it was the end. I was fighting The Judge himself, but he was stronger than me and before I could understand what was happening I was on the ground and he was just about to hit me and end my life when he was grabbed from behind and thrown with incredible force. The Judge couldn't even use his powers before this person stared at him and said these words in Latin – Earth, my voice you hear, from him the world you clear, I am Sun and it is me. Let my will forever be! – and with that the Judge was gone ripped in to pieces."

"Wait a minute, wasn't that a spell?"

"It sounds like one, but I have never heard of spell that uses the power of natural forces."

"Anya's right!" said Dawn "But hear the rest. ' The stranger instructed us to collect the pieces and send them in different parts of the world. Then he turned and left but on the back of the retreating form I saw a painting on his left shoulder – a black rose encircled with a snake. This was real, I couldn't believe it, but it's real, the legends were true.'"

"Legends? That doesn't sound too good!" said Xander

Anya was quiet.

"What? What, why are you so quiet? Anya?"

"This legends. They tell a story of a powerful sorcerer that was immortal and could kill even with his eyes."

"Yeah, that's great but Willow said that they were all dead." Said Buffy

"I know everything about The Black Rose, and believe me when I say that he is probably wondering around Sunnydale."

"Is that good?"

"No, because if he is wondering around here there must be something very dangerous here too. More dangerous than The Master."

"That's bad!" everyone looked around as if expecting something to blow up.

Angel was very worried, there was a book missing, a very important book… and if it was missing then someone took it, and if someone took it this meant that what he hoped wasn't happening was…well happening. So that's why he left Spike with the others and now he going to a occult library a demon had told him about to find this book. Finally he was there; he took an unneeded breath and went inside. He was surprised how small it looked outside and how big it was inside. He headed to the shelves when a familiar voice stopped him.

"Good evening may I help you?"

He turned around and his jaw dropped to the floor.

"Oz?"

"Angel?" he went to hug his friend

Angel couldn't believe how changed Oz. was He was wearing silk shirt and matching pants, he was a bit taller since high school and he definitely had changed his manners.

"You've changed!"

"Well, yeah growing up does do that to you."

"It's nice to see you what are you doing here?"

"I work here, me and almost all of my friends actually."

"Great you'll be able to help me. I'm looking for… God I can't believe I'm asking you about this… The Book of Death."

Oz was strangely quiet for a moment.

"The Book of Death? You mean the black Egyptian book of death which isn't supposed to exist?"

"Right you can't help me." He obviously doesn't believe in it.

"But I know someone who can!" he said smiling brightly.

Twenty minutes later Angel was standing at a big house in the suburbia part of the city. He knocked on the door nervously.

"I'm coming!"

A girl? He sent me to a girl?

The door opened to reveal heavy-breathing girl with bright smile and blazing dark eyes, she seemed to be no more than nineteen or twenty.

"Well, they sent me a nice one this time!" she said between breaths

"Excuse me?"

"Oh sorry, I'm… I can read energy fields and yours is pretty good."

"Oh!"

Then the awkward silence came.

"So, why don't you come in and tell me what I can help with?"

"Oh, alright, sorry!"

When he entered the house to see oriental it was decorated, he followed her to the living room and she motioned for him to sit.

"I'm Ginovive by the way." She said matter of factly

"Ginovive? The on who suffers?"

"Well what can I say parent gotta do what parent gotta do. And you are?"

"Angel!"

"Nice to meet you…Angel? Angelus? The bad and dangerous one?"

For a moment he thought that in a minute this girl who knew too much for her own good was going to scream like a banshee in distress, but the only thing she did was to jump on him.

"It's so nice to meet you; I've read so much about you."

Angel was dumbstruck.

"Sorry about that it's just that… you are famous."

"Don't remind me." But he couldn't help to smile a little at the girl's enthusiasm.

"Sorry, so what are you looking for and who send you?"

"I'm looking for The Book of Death, Oz said you could help me, and why are you asking me?"

"I just want to know who of them sent you."

"Them?"

"They are four, the owner of the library is of friend of mine, sometimes I sent them books but I keep the very dangerous books here. Just wait for a moment."

After a few moments she came back with a heavy black book in her left hand a locket in her right one.

"Oh my God, you have it?"

"Well what did you expect?"

"I don't know, I just thought that you knew about another library or something."

"No, I found that on the excavations few years ago, pure coincidence if you ask me, take it." She passed him the book and lifted the locket in front of his eye "This is the key, as long as it is with you'll be able to open it."

"Thank you… How do I call you?"

"Nev, everyone calls me Nev."

"Alright it was nice meeting you, Nev; I hope to see you some other time."

"I hope so too, good luck with the book." She called after him and closed the door. Nice guy she thought.

Willow has been in L.A. for two years now, she was extremely surprised when that mysterious girl offered to train her in more ways then just magic, and Willow accepted; now she was fighting four vamps, which were giving up without much fight. When she finally dusted them a clap could be heard from behind her and then this voice she couldn't forget.

"Hello there, Red!"

She turned around and gasped.

"Spike?"

Spike was walking in this fine evening in the streets of L.A. when he heard someone fight and saw four vamps struggling to keep their dead hearts from the pointy ones. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of read hair and lifted his scared eyebrow. It can't be he thought and moved closer, well I guess it can be. The girl dusted the vamps and he clapped moving even closer.

"Hello there, Red!"

She turned around and he could practically hear the wheels moving in her head.

"Spike?"

A/N: So, tell me what you think and I'll post the next one as soon as possible.
