"Is she alright?" Joyce asked running towards them
"The doctors aren't sure." Giles replied
"What?! I don't understand what do you mean they aren't sure?!"
"They don't know what's wrong with her."
"Oh my god! Where is she? What happened?"
"She is in the ICU we cant go in they told us to stay in the waiting room." Giles said
"What happened Mr. Giles? And where is Willow and Xander? Did they do this?"
"I assure you they didn't have anything to do with this. Something happened to her that I really can't explain."
"Try!"
"She said that someone cut her and poisoned her while she was out patrolling that's all I got before she fainted."
"Unbelievable! You are just so unbelievable! You are supposed to protect her! Where were you when this happened?!"
"I don-…"
"Look at what's happened she's in there and I don't even know if she's dying! I'm her mother I'm supposed to know! She would've been safe if it wasn't for you and this slayer job!" She said with tears coming down her face.
"Mrs.
Summers please understand."
"No I don't want to understand!
Just go away!"
"What?"
"GO AWAY! STAY AWAY!"
"I'm
just doing my job."
"And I'm just doing mine now please
just go before-…"
"Okay, I'll go."

"Well? How is she?" Willow asked.
"I don't know the doctors don't know…"
"Why'd you come back so early?" Xander asked.
"Buffy's
mother was just… it was so awful I feel so terrible. You should
have seen it."
"I can understand actually. Buffy's mom
never really even sees Buffy. I-I mean y-you know uhm she goes to
school in the morning, when schools done she usually hangs out here
or in my or Xander's house and when it's night Buffy goes
straight to bed. She says maybe two or three words to her mom. I mean
try to understand how you only daughter cant make time for you. That
must be awful."
"Yes, well… Lets see that book you were looking at about witches." Giles said.
"Yeah, right uhm…"
Willow grabs the book and scans it.
"Here. The pendant that Buffy saw was as I said earlier a Triqueta. Uhm it's a symbol of a witch group called Veneficus. It says here:
Veneficus is a group of witches and warlocks. Each member is called a Lamia. They gather every full moon in cemeteries. On the first night of the full moon they offer up a wolf. On the second night they offer up a ram and on the third and final night they offer up a hart. On the third night after they sacrifice their deer (hart) the process is complete. The process called invalesco, is when the group offers up the three animals to the gods to make themselves stronger. After the process, Lamias can get very dangerous. They all hold poisoned athames or double-edged knives. When Lamias gather (especially after the third night of offering) they are more powerful than any demon, witch, vampire or slayer they are almost invincible. The only thing that can destroy them or heal any wound that is caused by them is by using the crystal medicor. Their powers are called Order of Valeo.
TO SUMMON A LAMIA: you need to make a mixture using- sage pepper, black, alba, frog legs.
When the mixture is complete, chant the words: NOS ADSUMO QUILIBET NOS ADVOCO LAMIA"
"Oh well, what if we cant find this crystal medicor?"
"Oh there is another way it says here to heal someone who's been cut or stabbed it's-… oh"
"Oh,
what?"
"Uhm w-well it says use the crystal medicor or uhm…"
"Just say it Willow."
"If
she's sired by a vampire."
"Oh."
"So her title would be Buffy the Vampire, theVampire Slayer." Xander said.
