Thanks to Lunara Dragon for the review.

Part 7:"Perfectly safe rightttt!"

Beneath her tough broad act Buffy was frantic with worry. 'Willow and Tara have been missing for days! What they must be enduring! Gotta find them now!' She thought as she shoved her way through the partygoers! Prue followed but lacking Buffy's superhuman strength fell further and further behind!

'Slow down!' Prue thought and then saw Buffy shove several people aside and run through a doorway! Prue hurried after her as Piper and Phoebe tried to catch Prue.

Buffy had seen a real vampire and given chase! A couple of other vamps tried to ambush her from connecting hallways, but all the Halliwells found of them was dust!

Buffy caught up to the vampire as he tried to close the doors of a normally hidden elevator. Buffy was just getting his dust off of her hands as Prue arrived.

As Piper and Phoebe rushed in they heard Buffy say, "So we just go down this demon elevator and"

Piper screamed "EEK!! No more demon elevators!!" Once again the others argued against her but Piper had had enough! Waving her finger she said, "This is an obvious trap! We will find some stairs instead. I will blow that deathtrap up before I let my sisters get on another Hellevator!"

Phoebe was shocked by Piper's ultimatum and even Prue seemed stunned but Buffy was adamant! "It's perfectly safe!" As she stamped her foot a trapdoor opened and "AAAAAAAH!!" Buffy fell screaming into the darkness!

Piper folded her arms and stared at Prue and Phoebe as she said, "Perfectly safe righttttt!"

Part 8:"Thanks for..."

"AAAAH!!" Clipping her head on the edge of the trapdoor Buffy fell head over heels down the dark shaft. She shook off the blow and tried to stabilize her fall, WHAM!! Too late! Buffy slammed into hard concrete after a 100' fall! As her consciousness faded someone approached and knelt beside her!

Back in the mansion above the Halliwells searched for another way down. While doing so Phoebe got a premonition. Coming out of it she saw her sisters looking at her and said "follow me!"

Finally let into the party Cole and Leo began to search for the witches and Slayer. They noticed that quite a few of the partygoers were dressed as comic book vampires of some sort. Cole said "You know Phoebe and I were just cuddling in front of the TV once and the Spider-Man cartoon came on. A vampire on there looked just like those 6 guys over there!"

Leo rubbed his chin and pointed out, "Also those 5 guys are wearing cowled and winged purplish costume with swastikas! Looks like Nazi vampires to me. Coincidence?" The two men warily eyed the comic book vampires and continued on. The vampire costumed men slowly began to follow them.

Buffy started coming around as she felt her arms jerked behind her and tightly bound! As her senses returned she found her movements very restricted. Her wrists, elbows and forearms were all tied, with ropes above and below her breasts and around her waist pinning her arms to her body! Her legs were tied above and below her knees and at her ankles. A red bandanna with a knot in the middle had been placed in her mouth and then tied at the back of her neck. Additionally multiple strips of duct tape made sure her gag would stay in. As one of her captors picked Buffy up and carried her over one shoulder she thought, 'I know I have a smart mouth but isn't this gag a little much? It's not like I am a spell casting witch and must be gagged at all times! Oh well! These ropes would hold any normal woman but I can break free. I'll just let them take me to Willow and Tara and then bust loose! These morons must not know that they need chains and drugs to hold me!' Buffy shook off her aches and pains and her eyes smiled as she neared her friends.

Phoebe's premonition led the Charmed ones to a secret door which revealed a long winding staircase. It went down further than they could see. This was due to the only light coming from torches 10' apart. As they headed down the stairs Prue said, "Somehow I think this underground complex wasn't built by mortals." As they started down the door closed and caught the edge of Phoebe's Supergirl cape. Rip! Getting it loose cost her a corner of it. Grumbling and nervous the Halliwells descended the stairs.

Buffy was put on her knees in front of a man(?) who sat on a type of throne with the bound and gagged Willow and Tara kneeling in despair on either side of him. Buffy was relieved and thought, 'They are still in one piece! Now to break free and kick demon butt!' Buffy strained with all her might and "MMMMMPH!!" screamed through the gag as she discovered, 'I can't break these ropes! It's like I have lost all of my strength!!'

Her captor smiled and said, "Thanks for leading the Charmed Ones here as I knew you would! Like you they will learn the secret of the costumes!"

Next time: The secret of the costumes and the villian's identity finally revealed!(honest!)
