Dedicated to all of my worthy friends.
Thanks to anyone that supported me and told me that I could finish a book. Special thanks to Kelly, Cayla, Ingrid, Donna, Armando, HoiFei, Antonio, & Sarah who read the book and gave me a rank higher than 8.
And to Laurel and Katie who gave me 7!
Special special thanks to Katie who wrote "you suck" on all the pages of the rough draft. Some how, that inspired me to continue writing. Request made from Katie for me to include this sentence.
"They were fighting side by side when Spikes clothes ripped off his body revealing all his private accessories."
(I don't know how I'm going to fit that one in.)
Special thanks to Donna Lee for particular inspiration.
~Keeper of Portia~
"Portals will open, and the slayer will meet her fate."
~Synopsis~
Germanda is an evil sorceress. Ever since the disturbing past she had with her family, she has been searching all the worlds for total domination of power. Now she has obtained the long forgotten amulet of Portia. The one amulet rumored to give the keeper unlimited power to open and close portals. But it needs a powerful soul and the blood of nine to work it.
During a surprise party for Tara, which Buffy and the gang have worked so hard to plan and organize, Germanda, new to town, curses everyone at the party with magically unpleasant breath.
Now, one by one, they must attempt to kill the evil sorceress before she gets her hands on Buffy's soul and their blood in which she will use to work the amulet and destroy the world.
Just when things couldn't get worse, ninjas, dragons, and even seagulls who only know one purpose are sent after them;Kill them all.
One amulet, one tirfix, and one chance to save Buffy... -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1
Amanda walked down the narrow isle offering peanuts and refreshments with a fake Barbie smile to go along with her long strides. She had hitched a free ride on an airplane disguised as a happy flight attendant and was now heading to the beautiful town of Sunnydale, supposedly the Hellmouth, and where the Chosen One did her slaying.
"We'll be arriving in the Sunnydale region in a matter of minutes, please be sure that you are seated and your seat belts are fastened as we prepare for landing. We hope you enjoyed flying Northwest Airlines, it's been an honor to be your captain, and I hope you will choose us for your next flight."
The captain's voice was very corny and Amanda couldn't help but chuckle under her breath as she headed back to her own seat ignoring a lady waving at her for last minute peanuts.
The airplane was steadily brought down to the Airport grounds with out a single bump showing the captain's experience. As the other flight attendants walked down the aisle helping any passengers in need of assistance, Amanda headed toward the exit where a crowd had begun to sprout. Amanda pushed her way through the crowd almost knocking an elderly woman down as she hustled down the hall. She ignored anyone who asked her for directions, as she pushed the doors of the airport open and walked out.
"Soon slayer, soon."
2 Weeks later.
Anya Emerson was counting the register's money for the fourth time that morning, when the bell on the door chimed announcing the arrival of a customer. A customer with money. As she excitedly left the counter with new persuasive selling tips that Dawn had suggested yesterday, she realized it was only Buffy Summers who was ready for another day of work at the Magic Box. With a small sigh she thought Buffy couldn't hear, she walked over to give her the day's instructions.
"We got a new shipment of Mermaid Scales in the storage room that need to be shelved. After that, the ruby flakes have been the center of attention, so put them near the counter so that we can keep an eye on them. We don't want them to be stolen. I think the crystals could do with a little dusting too. That's all for now. Go."
She turned around and went back to the counter as her high heels clicked down the wooden stairs. With a sigh herself, Buffy walked toward the storage room door.

"Who's that?" Willow Rosenberg questioned.
"A sub I guess", Tara Maclay answered as the unknown face walked through the doors to room 108 Psychology. Willow and Tara were well hidden in the seats of the back row to avoid anyone hearing them chat about healing herbs. An immediate silence spread throughout the classroom as everyone noticed the stranger that had just arrived.
"Hi, I'm Mr. Boliss, and I'll be substituting as your Psychology teacher for today, or until they find a permanent replacement for Ms. Tyler."
He talked fast and loud, spitting between sentences as he took a seat at the teacher's desk after he had written his name on the chalk board.
"What happened to Ms. Tyler?", Selma Thompson asked, hands raised as she tried to peer over the other students. She was very short, with hair as black as night but attractive to most guy's standards.
"Why won't she be coming back?"
"I'm afraid Ms. Tyler quit..." A huge outburst of questions and comments from students interrupted the substitute, which seemed to have been a mistake as the sub's eyes flared with fire. "Now that's enough, everyone sit down, take out your Psychology Books, and read pages 120 to 136, while I figure out where Ms. Tyler left off. If you want to know what happened, I suggest you go see someone at the office." His tone was marked with impatience and everyone obeyed as they zipped through their packs for the book.

Down at the construction site, Xander was busy kicking the soda machine that had just ate his money.
"Darn machine, why don't you ever work?" He kicked it again not seeing his boss peer out of his office, confused at what had made the noise.
"Third time this week you ate my money. Do you do this to all the workers?" Realizing that talking to a soda machine wouldn't work, he gave up and put on his yellow hard hat and was ready to return to work when his boss sprung open the door and yelled at him.
"Harris!, get to work!"
"I'm on it sir."
About an hour later, when he peered up into the blazing sun that had caused him to sweat, he noticed a woman walking down the street right outside the construction site's fence. Xander couldn't help but stare at the woman's perfect poise as her hair flipped back and forth rhythmically. She instantly reminded him of Cordelia Chase, his high school fling, but her hair was to dark to be Cordelia's, and she was much too tall. He made quick and obvious observations as the woman got to the corner curb and stopped, waiting for access across the street.
"Tall, gorgeous legs, tight shirt and skirt, sheesh." Realizing what Anya would do to him if she found him goggling over another woman, Xander turned around with eyes closed back to shoveling dirt.
"Anya, I love Anya, Anya, she's the only girl..."

Back at the Magic Box, Giles had a his face buried in a very dusty book as his glasses fell onto the volume's crusted pages.
"Lord, why is the damn print always so minuscule?", He cursed under his breath as he started to wipe his lens.
Anya was helping a customer with ruby flakes, and Buffy was helping her sister Dawn, with Geometry, to no success.
"See, this is a triangle, and if a triangle has three sides, then they all equal five."
"I finally get it Buffy, thanks!" Dawn proclaimed excitingly.
"Do you really get it or are you just trying to prevent me from realizing that you are better at Geometry than me?" Buffy frowned at her.
"Ok, I'm still confused, but you tried, I'll just ask Willow or Tara when they come back."
Feeling completely useless, Buffy got up and walked toward a customer who looked like he could use some assistance. When she got closer, she realized that the customer was barely a teenager. Probably a wannabe to the Wiccan religion, she thought.
"Hi, can I help you with those scent candles? We now have two knew scents. Essence of slug and peach passion."
"Yes, uh no," he put the candles down. "Buffy, I mean slayer, no, shop person. I really shouldn't be here. Bye."
He turned to leave, but Buffy stopped in front of him.
"Have we met before? How do you know my name?"
The boy pushed past Buffy and sped out the door. By the time Buffy was out the door too, the boy was nowhere to be seen. Buffy walked back in wondering if Giles had seen what happened.
"Wasn't that weird?"
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––-
"Weird sub huh?"
"Oh, hi Selma, you startled me. Yeah, what's with the spitting?" Tara answered.
The class with Mr. Boliss had been extremely disturbing, and was fortunately now over. As the students exited the tension full room with soaked clothes, they were greeted and thankful for a bright sun that had presented itself. It would certainly cheer up any normal person as well as dry off their clothes.
"They better find a teacher soon, I wont be able to survive another class with that spitting bimbo. We were in the back row but I was still afraid of drowning." Willow hadn't really liked Ms. Tyler, but she was still eager to find out what had happened with their teacher's quick conclusion to retire.
"Office closed due to leak", Willow read, "since when did they close offices because of a small leak?"
Tara grabbed Willow's hands and led her out the doors, down the steps, and under the safety of a huge overhanging willow tree. They could talk there.
"Something's wrong, did you feel the energy?" Tara's face was marked with concern as she awaited an answer from Willow.
"What do you mean, I didn't feel anything. Was there something I missed?"
Tara frowned as she thought about what she felt. She was certain that a shiver had run up her back when they were standing in front of the door. Something vibed into her.
"I don't know Tara, I didn't feel anything. Let's go to the Magic Box, I need to talk to Buffy."
"Sure, Anya said she had some mistakenly shipped herbs she wanted us to identify."

"Caintigh Keso de fo Ach. Present yourself before me and be powered by me. Awaken! I call you Sari, come through the portal and obey my commands. Seta, seta, seta!"
The portal gap was beginning to open in Amanda's hotel room. Now as the menacing voice replaced the Barbie one she had before, she finished the last incantations that would bring forth the first of many demons that would help her destroy the slayer. The portal was stirring when her last word was said. The misty substance inside began to swirl around. Amanda's grin widened as she realized it was working. The swirling stopped, and a figure was seen stealthily walking toward her from a distance. As the figure neared, it's features began to be noticeable. It was a female. She was dark. She looked like a human. A ninja.
Her sword was sheathed in her belt. It's length and thickness was incredible even from Amanda's distance. Her face was lit up by two orange eyes. The ninja stepped through the gap into the hotel's reality. She looked about and stared at Amanda.
"I know just what you need." Amanda smiled.
