Buffy the Vampire Slayer

The Complete Eighth Season

Episode 1

"The Road Ahead"

Dust clouds shifted throughout the open California dessert, creating mini tornadoes. The road ahead seemed miles and miles of endless pavement. The sun beamed rays of warm light onto the dry lands and dessert vegetation. Buffy and twenty-some slayers stood facing the crater where once stood Sunnydale. The town wouldn't seem much in the eyes of visitors, but to Buffy, it was her home. The warm wind blew Buffy's blond hair in a wavy motion. Faith's ruby red lips pushed together to block from the sprinkles of beige sand entering her mouth. She squinted her eyes from the flamboyant and heated sun. Faith waited for a long time for this moment, when it would be all over. For many years she faced her horribly and devastating past full of crimes and darkness. She begun to feel remorse for her past crimes and with Angel's help she eventually rejoined the side of good in the hopes of achieving redemption. To her, defeating the First Evil was just one of the steps to forgiving herself. Faith lightly touched Buffy on her shoulder and faced the whole in the world.

"We did well" she comforted. Buffy wasn't too sure that it was all over. Yay, they stopped the first from succeeding and taking over the world, but who said he wouldn't try again. Dawn, who was taking the dirt out from under nails, hugged Willow Rosenberg. Willow was taking a minute to let the victory settle in her system and the fact that her dark past was over taken by light. She displayed her true power of light in the most crucial part of the battle in the Hellmouth. The death of her sweet Tara was the final push needed for her to express her feelings in dark ways. Willow was glad she had finally overcome that era. On the other hand, Xander Harris was not exactly up to par with everyone else in celebrating. Anya was killed by a demon of the First's and she will never come back. He wanted for them to be together once again, to be like old times. Xander was devastated by the traumatic events that occurred today and the death of his woman, his Anya.

Robin lay in pain in the most uncomfortable position on the school bus driver seat. He had flash backs before his eyes of the battle, all the blood and the bodies of dead woman, leftovers for disgusting vampires to feast on. The feelings for Faith had increased over his pondering time in the bus during the celebration. He attempted to adjust his body from the awkward position to a more efficient stance. Vi quickly stepped over to Robin to help him sit up.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" she helpfully said. Robin used his arms to pull himself up.

"Yay, well you're not" he bitterly added. Vi back off and Robin wanted to take that back.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to say that. Can you help me up?" he asked in pain. Vi painted a fake smile onto her slightly tanned face and helped dangling Robin up from falling down. Faith walked up the three high steps into the bus to support Robin, who lay useless.

"See getting better already" Faith cheerfully stated. Robin laughed.

"How'd you know? I feel amazing" She bent down to gain eye level with her boyfriend and kissed his moist lips. Robin and Faith shared a beautiful moment with each other, expressing their love for one another. Vi tended to the rest of the injured slayers while the two love birds got their moment.

"So, after all this ass kicking, I'm feeling a slight hunger in my stomach. Care for a multigrain granola bar?" asked Faith handing it to Robin. He smiled and took the snack with his right arm.

"Where did you get this?"

"A couple of girls brought snacks with them just in case they were hungry during the fight" Faith answered. Robin raised his eyebrow.

"Nice to know they were prepared" he thought out loud.

"How's Buffy?" Robin asked. Faith averted her eyes to the open bus door.

"She'll live, right now; I think she's just soaking in the moment"

Robin looked into Faith's brown beautiful eyes and sighed.

"I have something I want to tell you" he stated. She stretched her arms up high.

"Shoot"

"I love you; I want to be with you. I promised I would try to make this work with you when we won. Guess what Faith, we did" Robin spoke those words truly from his huge heart. Faith whispered into his ear.

"Love you too" she opened up.

Andrew and Kennedy were taking care of slayers who were injured after the fight. Blood covered their clothes from stab wounds and slashes to the face.

"It's going to be okay" said Andrew to a Slayer who was lying down. She shook when he pressed a damp cloth covered in alcohol.

"You got some open cuts, we need to close them" he insisted. Kennedy through over bandages to cover the open wounds. Kennedy wasn't all about playing nurse, she wanted get some action. She loved the battle and to her, death was just natural selection. Everyone shouldn't be all sad about it, just think of it was "It was their time to go".

Kennedy came from a really rich family and being stuck-up and snotty was in the job description. She was partially thrilled that Buffy was back as the 'Leader' but she had to play easy. No one wanted the Slayer on their backs. Andrew on the other hand was different; he loved that Buffy was back and kicking ass. He thought that without her, there would be nothing to celebrate, they would be all under the ruins of sunnydale by now. Andrew felt like no one liked him in the scooby gang. Ever since Anya's death, no one respected him as much as she did. Andrew can just picture what Anya did for him during the fight. There was something he never told Xander about that moment she died. She mentioned how she loved Xander and how much she would give up just to be in his arms at her final moment. But she did the right thing, she stayed and saved me, sacrificing her own life for another. That was a true powerful woman, not even Buffy can break down. Anya.

~*~

Dawn was tired of standing and facing the open dessert, so she sat down in the shade provided by the bus. Buffy walked over to Dawn and sat down beside her.

"Are you hurt?" asked Buffy. Dawn shook her head.

"I kicked ass" Dawn said. Buffy smiled and was proud of her sister.

"I'm proud"

"Thanks mom" Dawn answered rolling her eyes. The two Summers sisters shared a laugh that was followed by a smile. Giles kneeled down to Buffy and Dawn and took off his glasses.

"That was a hell of a fight" Giles admitted. Dawn nodded her head.

"If it weren't for me, Xander would be dead" joked Dawn. Giles followed along.

"I'm sure he would be" Buffy was lost in her own world, starring down at the sand. Every sound, everyone was fogged in the background. Buffy glanced back in the past when Spike and Buffy had their final moments. She truly admitted to her lover that she loved him back. He died saving everyone from a fate of death. He was a good man and proved to the world he had a soul to redeem himself from the past.

"Buffy, are you okay?" asked Giles. Buffy shook her head out of her dream world and looked up to Giles, continually blinking.

"Sorry, I was just thinking" Buffy said.

"About Spike?" Dawn asked. Buffy glanced at her sister who was covered in dirt.

"No...Yes...I mean, why does it matter?" asked Buffy fixing her nails.

"It's okay Buffy; we all know you went through a tough time just now. Spike was very close to you and I understand your pain" said Dawn hugging her sister.

"Thank you, but I'm fine Dawnie, you don't need to feel sorry for me. What's done is done, he's not coming back" said Buffy. She got up, kissed Dawn on the cheek and touched Giles on the shoulder, exchanging friendly smiles.

Buffy let the cool wind touch her face and fill her body with victory. Willow stood beside her friend for seven years now and smiled.

"Buffy, you wouldn't believe that overwhelming experience I had down there. I looked into the future and we will do great things" said Willow. Buffy looked at Willow.

"That's great Will, I'm sure we all will in time" Buffy said.

"Poor Xander, loosing Anya must really have him down" said Willow. Buffy looked over too Xander, who was playing thumb wars with Andrew.

"He seems fine to me" Buffy smiled.

"Yay, Andrew has been doing a great job in occupying and annoying everyone" she said. Buffy looked at the heated sun and turned to face everyone near the bus.

"Listen up everyone please! What happened today was both horrible and great. People died in the Hellmouth saving us! Anya, Spike and some many strong women" yelled Buffy. Rona and Vi stepped out of the bus with Faith.

"There is still so much more to do as Slayers and together we will accomplish anything" convinced Buffy.

"We will first get some rest at a motel a few miles from here. From there, we will take it slow. Potentials... I mean Slayers, on the bus" smiled Buffy.

"Will, can you help heal the others?" she asked. Willow held Buffy's hand.

"Of course"

Buffy looked at the long road ahead and sighed. So much more work to do, so many more demons to kill. Buffy had to accept that fact that Sunnydale was just the beginning.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

2 days ago....

The Hilton Motel was built in the middle of the dessert for people on long road trips can make a pit stop. A couple parked in front of the lit up neon sign beaming "Vacancy" in bright pink. The girl was named Tessa. She had long brown hair and was wearing a summer skirt that was baby blue and her shirt was pink. Tessa had been visiting her parents in Sunnydale for the weekend because she heard the news about the citizens evacuating the town. She wanted to make sure that her parents were okay. Her fiancé was tall and had a great build for sports. He was wearing jeans and a black leather coat with Razorbacks printed in white letters on the back. Jason attended high school years ago and to honor his old team, he was wearing his team coat.

"We can stop here for the night" said Jason. Tessa sighed.

"But Sunnydale is only about an hour from here" said Tessa nervous.

"Its okay honey, it will be fine here. I'm getting tired, I'm sure you are too, so let's just get some rest and see your parents in the morning" he insisted. Tessa looked at the road ahead and back at the motel.

"Fine, let's give it a try" said Tessa. The motel had a bottom level of rooms and a top level of rooms. The wood used to build the motel seemed old and very fragile. The architecture of the building was of a "U" shape. Tessa was in university for architecture and was disturbed by the way the place was built.

Jason examined the front and opened the entrance. He held the door open for Tessa who was completely nervous for staying at this motel for the night. The check-in-room was beautiful; it had lovely paintings hung up on the white clean walls and flora to spice up the decor. Tessa felt at ease after seeing the inside of the motel. Classical music played in the background for a welcoming touch for guests. Jason walked over to the front table and rang the little golden bell for the owners to know that someone was there. Meanwhile, Tessa sat down on the brown leather furniture to rest while Jason orders them a room. She tilted her head to her left to smell the pleasant aroma of the flowers beside her on the side table that was made out of oak.

"Are they there?" asked Tessa. Jason rang the bell once again.

"Well they should be, I mean, why would they just leave their customers waiting in the room. That's probably why they have no guests" said Jason harshly. Tessa got up from the chair.

"Can we head to Sunnydale now?" asked Tessa. Jason looked one more time at the owner's office door and no one was coming.

"Okay, come on"

Jason walked to the car and shut his door. Tessa took her time walking to the vehicle and felt the cold night chills.

"Jason, look at the moon, it's so pretty tonight. Its blue" said Tessa stepping into the passenger's seat.

"That's nice Tess, let's just get out of here" he said putting the keys into the ignition.

"This place gives me the creeps" Jason tuned the key and the car made a struggling sound but didn't turn on.

"What the hell?" Jason blurted out as he tried again. The car was dead.

"What's wrong?" asked Tessa. In anger, Jason kicked the car and punched the steering wheel. Tessa touched his face with her cool boney fingers.

"Why isn't it starting?" she asked in her cute voice. Jason faced her and looked deep into her sapphire eyes.

"The battery is dead"

"That can't be, we just replaced it" remembered Tessa. Jason put out all his anger at Tessa.

"I know that Tess thanks for stating the obvious!" he yelled. She moved away from her angered fiancé and opened the car door to leave. Jason realized what she was doing and regretted what he said.

"Wait Tessa, don't go" he said grabbed her think arm with his masculine strong grip. Jason played lots of football and over the years his grip just improved. She stopped advancing further and looked into his forlorn face.

"What Jason, what do you want me to say?" she asked. Jason pulled her closer to him and tried to kiss her. She wanted to kiss him but after he snapped at her, kissing wasn't going to make it all better. Tessa jumped away from him and pulled herself out of his grasp and walked against the wind to the motel front doors. Jason had become to get very frustrated with the whole situation and once again punched the steering wheel.

"Tessa! Tessa!" he yelled. Jason opened his car door, stepped out and slammed it shut. Tessa entered the door and noticed an elderly woman was standing behind the counter. She greeted her with a warm and welcoming smile as Tessa slowly walked closer to her. She was wearing a night gown that had stars and moons floating in a dark blue background. She reminded her of Tessa's grandma and her clothes. Tessa shivered from the cold wind of outside and smiled at the old woman.

"Hello, my fiancé and I here wondering if we could order a room?" asked Tessa. The old lady opened her cabinet drawer and pulled out files and keys.

"Well of course dear, everyone is welcome" she said smiling and handing her a pen. Tessa grabbed hold of the blue pen and signed her name on the check-in list.

"Is there anyone else here?" asked Tessa. The old woman smiled and shook her head.

"No sweetie, they left awhile ago, just you and the hunky boy. Where did you ever score such a hottie?" asked the woman. Tessa blushed.

"High school" she answered. The old woman moved her house coat and revealed her name tag.

"I met my husband in high school too" she said.

"Do you take cash Mrs. Williams?" asked Tessa. The woman nodded her head and handed Tessa her keys.

"Here you go, twenty five dollars for the night" said Mrs. Williams. Tessa handed her the money and Mrs. Williams put on her glasses, counted the money and gave back the change.

"Thank you" Tessa and Mrs. Williams conversation was rudely interrupted by Jason's loud entrance.

"Tess, there you are, why did you leave?" asked Jason. Tessa gave him the eye and he shut up.

"Come on, we have a room" said Tessa guiding him outside.

"Take care" waved Mrs. Williams.

Tessa lead Jason to the stair case on the left wall of the "U" shaped motel. Every step Tessa took up the jagged hardwood, dust fell from the rims. Jason followed behind with the keys dangling from his index fingers. Once the two were up from the long stair case to the upper-level, Tessa looked at the loose golden rusted room numbers hanging from the door. Once they reached room number four, she unlocked the door and opened it for Jason.

"Nice room for a crappy motel" said Jason surprised by the quality of the room with such a bad first impression.

"Jason, be nice; Mrs. Williams was a kind woman to us. At least you can show some respect" Tessa snorted. He threw his bag onto the bed that created a dust cloud in Tessa's view. She started to cough and sneeze her way to the bathroom. Once Tessa reached the bathroom and closed the door she turned on the light to see the most horrible thing she had ever seen. She screamed as loud as she ever could and opened the door, running to Jason.

"We have to get out of her, now!" she yelled grabbing her bags. Jason (in shock) grabbed her by the arm and used all his force to drag her up to his face.

"Honey, honey, calm down, what's the matter?" he asked with his voice ever so gentle.

"Look in the bathroom, you will see" she said pointing to the moving bathroom door from the unbelievable force used to open it. Jason, now nervous, opened the door more to reveal two dead bodies in the bathtub. He covered his face and started to feel his food rushing up to his throat.

"Dear God!" he yelled. Jason ran out of the bathroom from the stench of rot and decay and the swirling files around the dead body.

"Okay, let's go" he said grabbing his coat and opened the door. Once he opened the door, the old woman stood in front of them holding a tray of cookies.

"You aren't leaving already, are you? I just made cookies" she said smiling. Tessa was horrified and scared to even say anything. Jason on the other hand didn't care and he wanted out. He pushed the tray of cookies out of her hand, knocking her back against the second-level railing. She helped herself up while Tessa and Jason headed for the stairs to the lower-level.

"Now wait a second, that wasn't nice" she said running after them. Jason let Tessa go down the stairs first, while he watched her back.

"Go!" he screamed. Mrs. Williams looked at Jason and pulled out her knife.

"Now, now, you must be punished young boy" she said waving her finger like his mother used to do. Jason tried to prevent her from stabbing him, but she launched her knee forward into his male spot and used her left hand to stab him into the chest. Blood slowly poured down her silver knife that had various different symbols engraved on the beautifully crafted dagger. Jason struggled to get out of Mrs. Williams grip, but her strength was too strong for him and he gave up. She stuck the knife into Jason and little more and took out the dagger leaving Jason wobbling. Tessa screamed while standing on the stairs, watching her lover die. Jason fell face first the floor and Mrs. Williams smiled and licked the dagger.

"Perfect, sweet and thick" she commented on Jason's blood. She stood and faced the full blue moon and sighed.

"I saved you for last sweetie" she said pointing the dagger to Tessa. Tess screamed and continued to run down the stairs. Once she stepped onto the third last step, the stairs gave out. Tessa's legs got caught in the termite invested wooden steps, dangling like bait while fishing. Mrs. Williams laughed with red blood dripping off her lips.

"Excellent, I love it when they dangle" she said walking towards Tessa. She screamed as loud as she could and before anyone could hear her, suddenly her screaming was cut short and there was dead silence.

Mrs. William's and with the help of her husband Bill Williams dragged the two bodies of the couple to their basement. Down in the basement, black candles were lit to create a glow to provide peaceful light. Mrs. Williams dropped Tessa's body on the dirty ground and placed her knife onto the ritual table. Once there, she picked up her spell book and started to chant.

"Ego penuriosus is cruor

vitualamen vobis senior of obscurum ,

tribuo nos vox nos peto ,

Mote is exsisto"

The ground begun to shake, cracking the earth beneath them. Jason and Tessa's bodies leaked blood onto the floor, creating a pool of red.

"Drink of this lord Beleth!" she yelled. Red entities broke out of a crack from the ground and into the eyes and mouths of Mrs and Mr. Williams. She turned around, stepping over Tessa's head and opened her eyes to reveal black eyes like pools of oil.

"It is done"

~*~

Their destination was only a handful of miles left and Buffy was getting uncomfortable. She gazed out of the bus window watching as the dessert passed her by like a wall of beige. She never felt as worse as she was now. Leaving Sunnydale behind was a big step for her. It was almost like the time when she left when she killed Angel. She believed she would never love anyone more than she did Spike and Angel. Watching both her lovers die before her eyes was devastating. Buffy tied her beautiful and shinny blond hair into a tie and rested her head back onto the seat. Buffy hadn't had sleep for days. All the preparing for the war was really getting to her. Willow practiced healing on the wounded slayers all evening on the bus. She would place her hand just above their wound and focus all her energy into her hand. From then, a bright white light beamed down and slowly close the wound.

"There you go" said Willow to Rona. She checked the mirror and her cuts on her delicate skin had faded away.

"Thanks!" she yelled and hugged Willow. Will pointed to Rona's cast, which was covered in blood and dirt.

"You can take that you now" she said. Rona unraveled the cast and revealed her healed arm, which was totally fractured all over; a present from kalub. She was happy that Kalub got the sharp end of the Scythe.

"Willow, thank you, I don't know what to say. Thank you" she said from her heart. Willow and Rona exchanged a friendly smile and she moved on to the next wounded slayer. Kennedy walked over to Willow and sat down on the seat in front of her.

"Will, I have something to ask. Do you love me?" asked Kennedy. Willow stopped helping the moaning girl and turned to Kennedy, who was giving her the puppy dog eyes. Willow wasn't fooled by them.

"I know what you're doing and of course I do" said Willow, hiding her true feelings in. Kennedy rolled her eyes.

"You're thinking about Tara aren't you?" she asked. Willow averted her eyes over to Buffy, who had fallen asleep.

"What are you talking about Kennedy?" she asked. Kennedy swallowed her pride.

"You are always thinking about Tara and not me. I know you loved her with all your heart, but is there any room for me?" asked Kennedy. Willow finished healing the poor injured woman and patted her on the head.

"Get some rest sweetie, we will be at the motel soon I hope" said Willow. She turned to face Kennedy once more and stopped moving.

"Look honey, I love you. Tara was the love of my life, but she's gone now. I'm sure somewhere up where she is, she wants me to be happy and after meeting you, I am" Willow explained beautifully.

"Now, if I finish all my healing mojo, maybe we can work a couple kinks off our selves" teased Willow. Kennedy smiled.

"Can't wait"

Giles pondered about all his archives and books that were first edition gone by the destruction of Sunnydale. All his work and diaries destroyed. How would he ever be useful anymore to Buffy now that his weapon (knowledge) was depleted? Andrew walked beside Giles and smiled drinking out of a juice box.

"Squeeze in Mr. Giles" said Andrew insisting on sitting with him. Giles rolled his eyes and started to clean his glasses.

"Bloody hell"

"What's that?" Andrew asked sipping from his straw creating the slurping sound that irritated the hell out of Giles.

"Could you refrain from sipping from that God awful plastic straw?" asked Giles. Andrew stopped slurping and handed the juice box too Giles.

"If you wanted some you could of asked, geeze you silly old British man" he said. Giles looked at the juice box half-filled with fruit punch and averted his eyes to Andrew, who had the biggest smile ever.

"No thank you, I just had one just like it" Giles lied. Andrew continued on with sipping the straw and enjoying his juice.

"You know Giles, as much as I love the next fruity juice goodness, they never come out with new flavors!" yelled Andrew. Giles rolled his eyes and relaxed his head on the window.

"I mean, I love juice and the workers should say 'hey, make some more juice' and then poof, more juice" Andrew continued on. Giles tried to think of a worse situation than hearing Andrea speak about juice. Wait, there wasn't any Giles repeated in his head.

"Enough Andrew, just drink your bloody juice box and shut up!" he yelled. The whole bus went quiet. Robin and Faith stopped making out and Buffy woke from her sleep. Giles smiled and laughed.

"We were just having some fun and games" Giles lied once again to gear the attention away from Andrew and him at the front of the bus. Andrew finished his juice box and starred into Rupert's eyes.

"I have always looked up to as a father like Watcher. Ever since then, I have always wanted to be a Watcher!" admitted Andrew. Giles smiled from his major complement.

"Well why thank you Andrew, I...I am..rather f..lattered" he stuttered blushing. Andrew smiled waiting for a certain answer. Giles couldn't help but want to make Andrew happy.

"Do you want me to train you?" asked Giles. Andrew clapped with joy.

"Of course Sir Rupert Giles" Andrew snorted hugging Giles. Rupert pushed Andrew off of him and looked to see if anyone was watching.

"Don't call me that and don't hug me you fool" said Giles. Andrew smiled.

"Okay, are we almost there because I'm tired and I really need to pee?"

Dawn was sitting beside Willow, observing the way Willow healed the wounded Slayers. Dawn always wanted to practice the arts of magic. When he mother was still alive, she remembered telling her that she wanted to be a witch and her mother just stared at her. Dawn never knew why is what so bad to be a witch. She thought of all the good things that Willow and Tara did to better the Scooby gang and fight evil. When Glory was around, Willow was the only one who was stronger than Buffy to fight Glory. A year later, everything went wrong for Willow and she became obsessed with black magic. After weighing the pros and cons of being a witch, Dawn finally interrupted Willow.

"How do you do that?" asked Dawn. Willow glanced at Dawn.

"Takes a lot of practice little on" answered Willow. Dawn made a half smirk.

"I'm not little" said Dawn apprehensively. Dawn was sick and tired of people calling her a little girl now-a-days. Dawn was old enough to take care of herself! Buffy always treats her as she was her mother and Dawn was her daughter. The moment the opportunity comes for her to leave and live her normal life, she will jump that bandwagon. At the time being, Dawn couldn't go anywhere, she was in the middle of a dessert. Filled with curiosity, Dawn pushed forward and followed Willow's every step in healing the wounded Slayer. Dawn lightly placed her hand just above the open wound and closed her eyes. She felt the nothing coming to her that she could use. She squeezed her eyes tight and tried to force the Wicca in her out. Willow smiled.

"Dawn sweetie, you're trying too hard. Just relax and be cool. Make the world around you a blur, focus" whispered Willow. Dawn closed her eyes and got into a comfortable position. Willow's words suddenly echoed faintly in the background and Dawn was driven to make this spell work. All it takes is time and patience, right? I can do this. Come on Dawn! She repeated in her mind. Dawn suddenly felt a power surge run through her veins like she was on crack. It shot from her feet to her hand and eyes. Dawn grabbed a hold of Willow's hand and immediately began to drain power from her. Willow tried to pull out of Dawn's grip, but her energy faded away. Dawn raised her arms and bright white lights filled the whole bus. Light jetted out the bus windows and on to the passing dessert sands. Dawns eyes were white and brilliant hues of colors hit the wounded Slayers. Once the healing was done, Dawn and Willow fainted from the experience. Buffy looked around her and everyone who was injured were healed by Dawn's white light; down to very microscopic scraps. Buffy ran over to Dawn and held her in her arms, embracing her tight.

"Dawnie, wake up, wake up!" yelled Buffy. Giles walked over to Buffy trying to keep his balance from the shaky bus.

"That light, Dawn did that?" asked Giles. Buffy kissed her sisters forehead. She never knew how much power Dawn had.

"What was that from?" asked Buffy. Giles took of his glasses.

"Well Buffy, you know she is a mystical k..k..Key. She carries unbelievable amount of power that still yet has to be unlocked and I think we just bare witnessed to one of many a..abilities" Giles explained. Buffy was shocked. She looked at Willow, who was in Kennedy's arms and back at Giles with a nervous smirk across her face.

"Why would she faint like this?" asked her big sister.

"She is too young and inexperienced; she doesn't know how to control it. Also, she absorbed power from Willow, who is a high levelled witch" Giles said.

"Maybe she can't focus her energy to one person. If I had my books, I could do research on this" snarled Giles. Willow opened her eyes slowly and looked at the seven heads looking down at her face.

"Hello" said confused Willow. Everyone kept on watching her every move.

"What you guys doing up there?" she asked smiling. Buffy smiled.

"I'm glad you're okay Will, I thought you were badly injured" said Buffy hugging Willow. She pushed Buffy off her and was able to breathe again.

"Okay, really not ready to give hugs yet, where's Dawn?" Rona averted her eyes towards the fainted teenager on the bus seat beside them. What a Drama Queen! Rona said in her head. Willow stared into Rona's dark eyes.

"I heard that, hey! I heard that!" yelled surprised Willow. Giles squashed his face together.

"Heard what?" he asked. Willow got herself up.

"That!" she yelled pointing to Rona.

"Whoa whoa whoa, what is she talking about?" asked Rona. Vi giggled.

"Okay, I'm lost" said Vi. Most people call her Vi, but he real name is Violet. She came from a very average American family in Seattle before she became a Slayer.

Willow rolled her eyes as stress filled her being.

"I heard Rona's thoughts" said Willow. Buffy raised her right eyebrow. It was already enough to hear that her sister magically fainted because she was using her abilities as a magical entity, but to hear that her best friend can read thoughts pushed her off the edge. Buffy remembered what it was like to hear people's thoughts. She loved it at first, but after, it was hell. All the whispering and secrets that clouded Buffy's mind was overwhelming.

"Do you remember when Buffy could hear people's thoughts, I almost went pass border line of frenzy" Buffy explained. Willow laughed.

"Guys, I think this is my start to higher powers" thought Willow. Giles was confused.

"You're telling me that you still have more powers to come?" he asked. Willow nodded her head. While the starring contest between Giles and Willow started, Robin interrupted with the fast stop of the bus. Everyone hit against the front of their seat from the major push forward from the break.

"We are here!" said Robin sighing and relaxing. Andrew clapped.

"My Lord I have to pee!" he yelled. Andrew ran off first. Buffy stood up and picked up her sister in her arms, leaving Dawn's arms and legs dangling.

"Okay everyone, take out all the money we have and go order some rooms" said Buffy. All the Slayers jumped out of the bus and ran to the motel. When Willow stepped out of the bus, she noticed the bright full moon that had shades of baby blue. It was the most magnificent thing she had ever seen. This sadly reminded her of Oz turning all hairy and doggy-like. Something about the moon gave Willow bad vibes about the motel.

"Kennedy, get us a second level room!" yelled Willow. Willow caught up with Kennedy and the others and Buffy walked out with Dawn in her arms. The wind was ever so cool and gently brushed her hair, bringing forth a cool sensation on her sweat sprinkled neck. This sent morbid chills down her spine. Robin turned off the bus and rested his body against the driver's seat. Faith walked over to him and gave him a hand.

"Let's go and get a room" she said.

"Wait"

"What's wrong?" she asked. Robin opened his eyes.

"I made you a little something before the fight, I wanted to give it to you when everything was safe" he said handing to her a wrinkled napkin with the object inside. She smiled.

"A present, but it's not even my birthday" she said opening the napkin. Inside was a necklace with many different rocks and teeth attached to it.

"It was my mothers, all the teeth were her first ten demons she killed and the rocks were from countries she had been too" Robin explained. Faith blushed and smiled.

"I can't take this. I mean, this is your mothers, she gave it to you"

"And I am giving it to you" Robin handed back the necklace. He turned Faith around and she moved her brown hair out of the way. Robin placed the necklace on her white neck and kissed it, sending chills down her body. He made a trail of kisses down to her right arm and up the other. She felt his bulging muscles flex down his left arm. If Faith was good at anything, it was pleasing a man. She turned to face Robin and opened his shirt to reveal his muscle covered chest. She rubbed her hand down every crease and his abs. He unbuttoned her shirt and felt her black bra slide off. The two were in total love.

~*~

Buffy walked into the main check-in room and admired all the beautiful flowers hanging from the walls. The setting of the motel surprised Buffy. All this time passing by it for years going to her fathers, she thought that it was crappy and abandoned. Mrs. Williams entered the room and noticed Buffy.

"Hello there dear, shall I assume you're the leader of the crew of young woman and men who just rented out more than half me rooms" laughed Mrs. Williams.

"Yea, that would be my group" said Buffy cheerfully. She walked closer and handed Mrs. Williams a handful of cash.

"Can I have a room for two please?" asked Buffy. Mrs. Williams touched Buffy's hand.

"Of course dearie, here is your key, you're in room number three upstairs. Oh and watch your step while going up, those stairs have been giving us problems" she said walking to her office behind the counter. Buffy smiled and carried Dawn out the door.

Xander shared a room with Andrew. Kennedy and Willow were in room four upstairs. Vi and Rona shared a room with two other slayers and the others had their own rooms.

In Willow's room, Kennedy placed her bag of clothes onto the bed and looked up at Willow.

"How are you doing?" she asked. Willow sat on the bed next to Kennedy.

"I've been better" she answered back. Kennedy lay down on the hard bed and stared at the ceiling fan, following it's every move. Willow started to rub Kennedy's feet.

"You okay?" she asked. Kennedy was filled with stress.

"I still think that you're thinking of Tara and not us!" she complained. Willow stopped touching Kennedy's feet.

"I can't believe you said that. After all this time we have spent together, fighting along side together, how can you say to me that?" asked Willow in anger. Kennedy raised her voice.

"Tell me the honest truth, that's all you love, Tara" said Kennedy. She started to scream.

"I feel like I'm nothing to you!"

"That's not true"

"Then what is Willow, do you want Tara over me?" asked Kennedy, pushing Willow's final straw. Willow didn't return an answer.

"Tell me!" No answer.

"Tell me!"

"Yes!" yelled Willow. A tear fell down Kennedy's cheek. Willow's eyes became over flowing with tears.

"Yes, I want Tara back, but she isn't coming back and it sucks. I wish I could destroy the world apart to find the one single spell to bring her back and I can't, I've tried so hard to the point that I can't live with myself. I thought by killing Tara's killer was going to make everything better, but it didn't. Oh trust me when I say it didn't. Now, because of my foolish acts I have to suffer the consequences for taking another human beings life!" yelled Willow. Kennedy was shocked. Willow exploded into tears and felt so bad for spilling that to Kennedy all at once. Kennedy felt that it was time to give her a friendly embrace.

Xander sat in his room and pondered, rolling around a ring in his hand. The exact ring that he was going to give Anya after the final fight. He wished he would of had the moment to share his feelings with Anya. Andrew flushed the toilet and walked down towards Xander.

"Anya told me she wished she could be with you in her final moments" he said. Xander was shocked.

"Really?"

"She loved you" Andrew admitted.

"I loved her"

Faith walked the hallway on the second-level of the motel. She looked at all the vacant rooms and tried to find a room that was avaiable. Faith came across the room that was blocked off with tape and nailed wood. Faith got curious and used her strength and pulled the pieces of wood off.

"That's how you do it" she said. She kicked open the door and she investigated the room. Blood was all over the bed and walls.

"What the hell?" she walked around the room and noticed the bodies of many guests from the motel.

"Oh my God" this was worse than anything Faith has ever seen. Yay, she had her fair amount of gruesome killings, but she never saw anything like this. Faith turned around and an old man placed a napkin of chloroform against her mouth. Faith tried to get out of the mans arms, but her conscience was fading away. Faith moaned, but no one heard her. Faith was out.

Buffy stepped into the hot shower water and splashed the water all over her body. Buffy felt like she never had shower in her whole life. The smell of the lemon shampoo covered the room. Buffy wasn't so into the lemon smell, but it was better than the smell of dirt and sweat. She rubbed the shampoo on her head and felt the warm sensational water trickle down her back and neck. Once she was done her shower, she stepped out and put on her clothes again. Buffy was ready for a nice talk with her sister, then bed.

Dawn woke up and stretched.

"What happened?" asked Dawn. Buffy walked into the room.

"Long story, tell you later. I think you should get some rest" suggested Buffy.

"No Buffy, I slept for hours, I'm not tired. Tell me what happened" she demanded.

"Things happened when you tried to heal that Slayer on the bus. You focused your energy and it worked" Buffy said.

"You have powers beyond your imagination. In time you will learn how to control it. I told you Dawnie, you are very special and annoying" smiled Buffy. Dawn rolled her eyes.

"And you're loud and you steal my candies!" she yelled. The two sisters hugged. Robin came running into Buffy's room.

"Buffy, you have to come see this!" he yelled. Buffy looked at Dawn and back at Robin.

"Let's go" she said following Robin out the door. All the slayers circled around the room full of bloody corspes.

"What the hell happened here?" asked Buffy. Robin shook his head.

"I was looking for Faith and I found this door open" said Robin. Buffy was nervous.

"Okay everyone listen to me, this is important. Go to your rooms and lock the doors, don't let anyone in. Willow come with me" said Buffy.

"What about Faith?" asked Robin.

"We will find her, don't worry. Can you watch Dawn for me?" Buffy asked.

"Sure, bring her back please" begged Robin. Buffy smiled and walked down the stairs with Willow. The two girls entered the check-in room and looked around.

"Mrs. Williams?" asked Willow looking behind the counter.

"No one is here" said Willow. Buffy begged to differ.

"Listen, do you hear that?" Buffy pointed to the basement. Willow and Buffy walked over to the basement stairs and listened in to the spell being read.

"Beleth! Come forth" yelled Mrs. Williams. A red cloud of lightning struck Faith (who was tied up to a chair) Faith shook from the power and burned away all the rope with her newly given abilities. Faith turned around and had red eyes.

"We have visitors" said Beleth in Faith's body. Buffy and Willow looked at each other.

"That's not good" said Buffy. The two girls ran up the stairs and Beleth shot red lightning towards the stairs that nearly hit Buffy's foot.

Willow and Buffy ran outside to the front facing the dessert.

"What do we do?" asked Buffy. Willow had an idea. Beleth walked towards Willow and shot lightning at her face. Willow held a blue barrier of light in front of her to block the magic being used.

"Move out of the way witch!" yelled Beleth. Willow's power field gave up and Beleth touched Willow on the face.

"Will!" yelled Buffy. Beleth went out of Faith's body and into Willow's. Faith dropped to the ground and Willow headed towards Buffy.

"The Slayer, I've heard many things about you from down beneath" Beleth said. Buffy smiled.

"Glad to know I'm popular" said Buffy. Beleth laughed.

"I wouldn't be happy. A lot of demons are very mad at you and want to see your body run dry of it's blood" Beleth said licking her lips. Buffy tried to think of a way to get Beleth out of the host and into someone she could physically kill. Beleth kicked Buffy in the stomach and swung her left arm to hit Buffy in the face. She dodged the swing and punched Beleth in the chest and then in the chin.

"Oh, sorry Will" she said fighting Beleth. Giles watched the fight from above and said out loud a host reversal spell he knew off by heart. All of a sudden, red lightning shot out of Willow's mouth and into Mrs. Williams (who was exiting the check-in place.

"Yes, I finally have to power!" she yelled. She then began her transformation.

"Buffy! Kill the host of Beleth before she regains corporeal form!" yelled Giles. He threw down the red and silver Scythe and she caught it with one hand. In a sudden action, Buffy flipped the Scythe in her hand and threw it across and it hit Beleth in the face. Black blood ran down Mrs. Williams face and Beleth was killed. A red face appeared above the body of Mrs. Williams and exploded. Buffy was knocked back three feet and got herself back up.

"Good job Buffy, well done" cheered Giles. Willow and Faith woke up.

~*~

The next morning everyone was showered, dressed and ready to continue their ride to their next destination. Buffy counted all the troops onto the bus, while Willow and Faith packed all the goods they found in the motel into the bag compartment of the bus. Andrew brought the food he found in the fridge for snacks later. Giles walked over the Buffy and hugged her.

"You did amazing" he said. Buffy sighed.

"That was just a normal demon" she said.

"Actually, Beleth is a pagan God of worship and torture" he said. Buffy giggled.

"Awe, add to my trophies" she smiled. All the girls got on the bus. Kennedy looked at Willow with a sad stare, knowing that they can only be friends. Xander continued to play with the ring he never got to give Anya and Faith stared at the man she loved dearly.

"We have so much more to do Giles, I don't know what I am going to do" said Buffy. Giles put his hands in his pocket and stared at the morning sun rising from the distance, lighting up the California dessert.

"Buffy, you will find a way, you always will" he said walking on to the bus. Buffy stared at the road ahead and thought about the work and patience it's going to take to reach the end. Buffy walked on the bus and they drove away.
