On Sunday night Buffy who is wearing a strapless black dress, which is knee length and black high heel dress boots and Owen Thurman who wearing a pair of black dress pants and a white dress shirt is on a date at the Bronze. Xander, Willow and Catalina are also at the Bronze too. Willow is wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, lavender short sleeved shirt and white tennis shoes, Xander is wearing an old pair of jeans with holes in the knees, a red button up short sleeved shirt and black tennis shoes and Catalina is wearing a black skirt, red tank top with thin straps and black tennis shoes. Catalina is sitting at a table by the dance floor and Buffy, Owen, Xander and Willow are on the dance floor and the band Superfine is on stage preforming the song Already Met You. Willow and Xander are dancing together and Buffy and Owen are dancing together, Catalina is watching her friends dance and listening to the music and is wishing that she could be out on the dance floor dancing too, but is not able to seeing that she is still on crutches and wearing the knee immobilizer on her left knee. Catalina notices that Buffy has her head resting on Owen left shoulder as they are dancing and can tell that Buffy is tired, but at the same time is enjoying her date with Owen. Angel walks up beside Catalina and taps her on the left shoulder. Catalina turns her head toward Angel and gives him a look of hate and he gives her a small smile and start to talk to Catalina.
"I come to let you and Buffy know that a vampire name Claw is in town and he has three large metal claws where his right hand should be. He used to be part of the Order of Aurelius until he displeasing the Master and the Master cut his right hand off, then kick him out. You and Buffy should be careful when you are out patrolling and keep an eye out for Claw and make sure Willow, Xander and the guy Buffy is dancing with gets home safe tonight."
"I will and thanks for the warning."
Catalina turns her head away from Angel and he knows that she is not going to say anything else to him. Angel walks away from Catalina and walk toward the door of the club wishing that he was dancing with Buffy, but can see she is happy dancing with the teenage boy. Angel does not know that Buffy sees him, as he walks out of the club or that Buffy has feeling for him. Two hours later Catalina, Buffy, Willow, Xander and Owen are walking away from the Bronze. Owen has his right arm wrap around Buffy's waist and she is resting her head on his shoulder and Buffy is thinking why am I so tired. Owen looks at Buffy and Buffy give him a smile and at the same time he starts to talk.
"Did you have fun Buffy?"
"Yes and I am sorry we had to end the date yawning earlier because of me being so tired."
"It is fine Buffy, let just get you home so you can get a long night of sleep and not be tired at school tomorrow."
"That sound yawning like a great idea."
At the same time Willow is holding Xander right hand and the two of them are watching Owen and Buffy who are both talking to each other and not paying any attention to Xander, Willow and Catalina. A vampire that is dress in all black clothing and that has three large metal claws where his right hand should be at, jumps in front of Owen, Buffy, Willow, Xander and Catalina. Claw hit Catalina with his metal claws and she starts stumbling backwards. Buffy pull away from Owen and runs at the vampire and does a roundhouse kick that sent the vampire flying backwards and at the same time Owen runs up to Buffy.
"What are you doing Buffy, we all should be running away from him not fighting him?"
"It is fine Owen, I can take care of myself and I am strong enough to fight him."
The vampire grabs Owen and lean toward Owen to bite him, as the vampire teeth touch Owen's neck, Buffy grabs the vampire and pulls him away from her date. Willow and Xander run over to Owen. Buffy punches the vampire in the face, then Claw slaps Buffy in the face with his claws. Then Buffy does a roundhouse kick that knocks the vampire down and Buffy takes a second to look over at Willow, Xander and Owen.
"Willow and Xander get Owen home, I will take care of this and Catalina will watch my back to make sure no more bad guys are hang around and waiting to jump out at me."
"(Willow and Xander) sure, see you tomorrow Buffy and Cat."
"No I want to stay and help Buffy."
"Owen go with Xander and Willow. I will see you tomorrow at school."
Xander and Willow lead Owen away from Buffy and the vampire that she is fighting, as the vampire jumps at Buffy and cut her right forearm with his claws. At the same time Catalina start looking around for any vampires, but does not see any more vampires around the area. Catalina's pick up a piece of breaking wood off the ground and tosses the wood at Buffy, who catches the piece of wood in her right hand and then stake the vampire with the piece of wood and the vampire is thinking two slayers did not see that coming and a few moments later he turns to dust. Buffy walks over to Catalina with a sad look on her face.
"What an awful way for my date with Owen to end, I hope he is not mad that I made him leave with Willow and Xander?"
"If he really wants to date you and love you, he will not be mad at you."
"I just wanting to date a boy that did not know I was a slayer and not have to worry about vampires or demons and have one part of my life that was normal, but after tonight I am starting to think that I will never have a normal life again. That date someone that does not know about me being a slayer is not a good idea because they could end up being hurt or killed because of vampires and demons always find me wherever I go."
"I know how you feel Buffy and it does not get any easy after a year of being a slayer either. I am going to go home for the night and get off my left leg. I will see you at school tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, I going to head to Resstfiled Cemetery and do a patrol at that cemetery seeing that four bodies were buried there this morning and afternoon and there is a chance that the bodies could have been turned into vampires seeing that all the bodies have bite marks on the necks."
Catalina starts hop east toward Sycamore Street on her crutches and Buffy walk west down Fourth Street, which is the street the Bronze is on. When Catalina turns left onto State Street, she walks west toward her house, which is on the left side of the street if walking west (Sunnydale Gymnastic Club is across from the back side of the Victorian row houses), at the same time a trio of powerful vampire warriors runs up to Catalina in full vampire faces. Catalina drops her crutches and then punch the center vampire in the face and he punches Catalina back and the punch is so hard that it knocks Catalina off of her feet and she falls to the ground. As Catalina is trying to get to her feet, the three vampires walk up to Catalina's licking they lip. Catalina lifts her right leg and kicks the vampire that is in the center in his right knee cap and the vampire start screaming in pain. Angel comes up behind the warrior vampires with a stake in his right hand and he stakes the vampire that is screaming in pain through the heart, as the vampire turns to dust, Catalina kicks the vampire on her right on the knee cap of his right knee and Angel start to fight the other vampire. Catalina using the time that the male vampire is screaming and holding his right knee, to get her right leg under her and then to stand up from the road. Catalina punches the vampire that is hold his right knee and screaming in the face and he falls to the ground, at the same time Angel start to yell at Catalina.
"Get into your house and lock the doors and stay there until the sun comes up."
"I will Angel and thank you for the help, go find Buffy and let her know about the warrior vampires."
"I will just get inside your house and I know for a fact that these vampires work for the Master."
"That is not good."
"No, it is not good."
At the same time Catalina pick up her crutches and notice that Angel is wearing a pair of black pants, white tee shirt and a black leather jacket. Catalina puts the crutches under her underarms, then gives one last look at Angel and gives him a warm smile for the first time. Catalina then heads up to the front door of her house and as Catalina is heading into her house, Angel knocks the vampire he is fight to the ground. The two warrior vampires get to they feet and run west away from Angel. Angel then goes to find Buffy because he knows that she is at Resstfiled Cemetery, which is west of Catalina's house. At the same time in Catalina's house, she has just step off the last step of the staircase and onto the land of the second floor. Catalina hops down the hallway toward her bedroom on her crutches hope that Angel find Buffy before the warrior vampires find her in Resstfiled Cemetery. Once in her bedroom Catalina sits down on her bed and take her shoes off, then puts her legs up on her bed and lean against the headboard of her bed. Catalina then picks up the cordless phone and call Giles to let him know about the three warrior vampires and about Angel coming to her rescue once again.
A few minutes later Angel walks through the gate of Resstfiled Cemetery and see Buffy standing in front of a headstone of a new grave six rows away from the gate of the cemetery. Angel walks over to Buffy who is staring at the grave and yawning into her left hand and he forgets about why he came to the cemetery to tell her about, because all he can think about is that Buffy is beautiful and about asking her on a date. Angel then starts thinking that Buffy would rather be at home in her bed asleep then waiting for a vampire to raise from the grave because she looks exhausted and can't stop yawning. Buffy looks up from the grave when Angel walks up to her, Angel stops beside Buffy and Buffy starts to rub her arms and he notices that Buffy is rubbing her arms.
"Are you cold Buffy?"
"Yes."
Angel takes off his black leather jacket and puts the jacket on Buffy, who smiles at him and Angel smile back at Buffy who is now yawning into her left hand again. When she stops yawning, Buffy turns toward Angel and then looks at Angel and at the same time start to talk.
"Thank you for putting your jacket yawning on me. I'm a lot warming now."
At the same time two warrior vampires, which are the same two that run away from Angel not that long ago runs up to Buffy and Angel. Angel does a roundhouse kick to the vampire that runs at him, which is the one he was fighting when Catalina was head to her front door and at the same time Buffy does a roundhouse kick to the vampire that run up to her. The vampire falls to the ground and Buffy notices the two vampires are wearing medieval clothing as she looks for a piece of wood on the ground, Angel tosses Buffy a wooden stake and she catches the stake in her right hand and as Buffy catches the stake, the vampire Buffy knock down come running at Buffy and pouch Buffy in the face so hard that she flies through the air and lands on top of a headstone. As Buffy roll off the headstone a hand grabs her right ankle, Buffy looks down and sees a new vampire come out of the grave. Buffy pull the vampire the rest of the way out and then stake the new vampire through the heart before he can attack her. Buffy then goes back to fighting the medieval vampire she was fighting a few moments ago and start shouting at Angel.
"Great first a vampire with three metal claws on his right hand and then two medieval vampires start fighting us and then I had to stop fighting one of yawning the medieval vampires long enough to stake a newly raise vampire, yawning."
"I came here to let you know about the medieval vampires, there were three of them, but I stake one of them earlier when they were attack Catalina. Catalina did mange to knock one down, as I was fight one of the vampires. I made Catalina go inside her house and told her to stay there until the sun comes up in the morning. A minute later the two vampires ran away from me and I went to look for you because Catalina asked me to let you know about the warrior vampires."
Angel and Buffy stop talking and Angel does several roundhouse kick to the vampire he is fighting and Buffy does several roundhouse kicks to the vampires she is fighting. Angel and Buffy fight the vampires for an hour and then Angel and Buffy stakes the vampires through the hearts and a moment later the vampires turn to dust. Buffy start dusting the dust off her dress and Angel leather jacket and Angel walks up next to Buffy. At the same time Buffy sits down on the headstone that is behind her. Buffy starts to yawn again and at the same time close her eyes. Angel looks at Buffy and can tell that she is exhausted.
"Buffy you cannot stop yawning and look exhausted go home and go to bed, I will patrol tonight."
"Thank you, I am going to take you up on that I am too tired to patrol tonight."
Buffy stands up from the headstone and start to take the leather jacket off but Angel puts his hands on Buffy shoulders to stop her from taking the jacket off. Buffy looks at Angel and start yawning again.
"Buffy wear the jacket home. I will get the jacket from you later."
"Thanks, see you around Angel and I will call Catalina when I get home to let her know the warrior vampires are dead."
Buffy walks away from Angel yawning into her left hand, when she stops yawning Buffy puts her hands into the pockets of the jacket because her hands are cold. Angel watching Buffy until she is out of sight and then he starts to walk around the cemetery, which is off of the corner of Teacy Street and Market Street. At the same time Buffy is walking down Hamilton Street toward Revello Drive and is thinking why can't I stop yawning and how can I be cold when it not cold out? I hope that I am not getting sick because I hate being sick. A few minutes later Buffy walks up to the front door of the white two story house and a few moments later open up the front door of the house. Buffy walks into the house and see that all of the lights downstairs are off. Buffy close the front door of the house and lock the door. Buffy then walks over to the staircase that is across from the front door on the right-hand side after the doorway to the dinning room, if standing with your back to the front door. Buffy walks up the stairs yawning into her left hand and when she steps onto the landing of the second floor Buffy looks to her right and toward the end of the hallway and sees the door to the master bedroom is close. Buffy walks up to the close bedroom door and knock on the door.
"Moms' I am home, I am going to take a shower, then go to bed because I am exhaust."
"How Ah-choo was your date?"
"Bless you and my date was great, are you still feeling sick?"
"Yes and I start to run a fever. I am going to go to bed."
"See you in the morning mom."
"I love you Buffy and I will see you in the morning too."
Buffy turns so her back is to her moms' bedroom door and then walks away from the master bedroom and walk by a small hallway and then head into her bedroom, which is the door after the small hallway and across from the staircase. Buffy grabs a pink nightshirt, pajama bottoms, clean pair of underwear and a bra and then heads into the bathroom, which is across from her bedroom. Buffy closes the hallway door and then walk past the bathtub and shower combination on the right-hand side and toilet on the left-hand side if your back to the hallway door, then walks past the white cabinet and white title counter top the sink is inset into on the right-hand side and a tall cabinet on the left-hand side if your back is to the hallway door, Buffy then turns and walks over to the door, which is across from the sink and the door that lead into her moms' bedroom. Buffy close the bedroom door and then walks over to the toilet and puts the lid of the toilet seat down, then set her nightshirt, pajama bottom, bra and underwear on the lid of the toilet seat. She gets a hair towel and a body towel out of the tall cabinet. Buffy then hangs the towels on the towel rail that between the sink and the bathtub and shower combinations. A few minutes later Buffy is taking a warm shower.
Meanwhile, at Catalina's house, she is upstairs in her bedroom and is sitting on her bed working on homework. After getting off the phone with Giles, Catalina talks to Xander and knows that Xander and Willow got home safe and that Owen got home safe too. Catalina has been working on homework for a half hour when the house phone rings. Catalina's pick up the cordless phone from the base and put the cordless phone handset up to her left ear.
"Catalina Victoria Reducan, who is this?"
"It is yawning Buffy. I am just calling to let you know that Angel and I dust the last two warrior vampires."
"Thank you for calling and let me know Buffy, go to bed and get some rest because you sound exhausted. I will call Giles and let him know that all three warrior vampires are dust, which is going to make the Master furious with me, you and Angel."
"Yes it will and I am exhausted, see you yawning at school tomorrow bye."
"Bye."
The two slayers hang up the phones, Catalina dial Giles's home phone number and at the same time Buffy lay down on her bed and pulls the bedspread up. A few minutes later Buffy is sound asleep and Catalina has gone back to working on her world history homework. Three hours later Catalina has got all of her homework done and is putting away her notebooks, textbooks and pen in her backpack and then changes into a black nightshirt. A few minutes later she heads to the bathroom to finish getting ready for bed. At the same time Angel is walking through Shady Hill Cemetery cheek graves and looking for any vampires that are out looking for dinner and Giles is sitting in the home library of the house he is rent reading the writing of Aurelius and this is what he is reading "And there will be a time of crisis, of worlds hanging in the balance. And in this time shall come the Anointed, the Master's great warrior. And the slayer will not know him, will not stop him and he will lead her into Hell.' As it is written, so shall it be. Five will die and from their ashes the Anointed shall rise. The Brethren of Aurelius shall greet him and usher him to his immortal destiny. As it is written, so shall it be." Giles' pick up the pen and start working out when the Anointed will raise on a piece of paper, which turns out to be tomorrow night. The rest of the night Giles spent looking up information on the Anointed one, so he can tell the slayers when they come to see him in the library after school tomorrow.
The next morning Buffy hits the snooze button on her alarm clock five times before getting up. Once up Buffy walks over to her closest doors and is rubbing her eyes. Buffy open up the closet and grabs a lite blue skirt out of the closet and a lite blue sleeveless sweater out of the closet and get a bra and underwear out of the drawers and then get dress wishing that she was still in bed sleep because she is still exhausted and is now achy all over too. Once dress Buffy puts Angel leather jacket on and then leaves her bedroom and goes into the bathroom. Once is the bathroom she notice the door to her moms' bedroom is still closed. Buffy close the door to the hallway and then walks over to the sink. Buffy looks into the mirror and see that she has bags under her eyes and looks tired. Buffy open the door of the medicine cabinet that the mirror is in and takes out the thermometer and then take her temperature. A short time later Buffy finds out that she is not running a fever. Buffy puts the thermometer away and then finishes getting ready for school. As Buffy walk into the hallway, Mrs. Summers open up the master bedroom door and then Mrs. Summers leans up against the door frame and pull a tissue out of pocket of her white robe and starts to blow her nose.
"How are you feeling this morning mom?"
"Like I have been hit by a truck. I called by assistance at the art gallery and let her know coughing that I am stay home sick today."
"But you have that art show opening up tomorrow, can you afford to misses work today?"
"Not really but, I am going to stay home and rest because I will have Ah-choo go into work for the art show tomorrow night even if coughing I am still sick."
"I need to get to school. I will see you tonight."
Buffy walks away from her mom before she can say anything and walks into her bedroom. Buffy grabs her backpack and then head downstairs. A few minutes later Buffy is walking to school with her hands in the pocket of Angel jacket. At the same time in the high school library Giles's is wearing a brown tweed suit, brown tweed vest and white dress shirt under the jacket of the suit and he is pace around the library. Catalina who is wearing a pair of black short, a white tee shirt that says Atlanta 1996 summer Olympic with the Olympic rings under the words and a pair of black flip flops is sitting on the second chair at the study table on the side across from Giles's office and has her legs up on the first chair. Giles stops pace and looks at Catalina then he starts to talk.
"And there will be a time of crisis, of worlds hanging in the balance. And in this time shall come the Anointed, the Master's great warrior. And the slayer will not know him, will not stop him, and he will lead her into Hell.' As it is written, so shall it be. Five will die and from their ashes the Anointed shall rise. The Brethren of Aurelius shall greet him and usher him to his immortal destiny. As it is written, so shall it be." Catalina it is happening tonight."
"What do you want me to do Giles, I can't even put weight on my left leg yet without the knee hurting really badly, I'm in not shape to stop any of the Master vampires or any vampire that will have the power of an anointed one?"
"I do not want you to do anything Catalina, beside tell Buffy to come see me in the library after seventh hour."
"I will let her know that you need to see her after school day ends and that it is important."
"Thank you and Catalina's go home when school over and get off you feet."
"Love too but I can't, I have to go to Sunnydale Gymnastic Club and see the physical therapist that work there and start physical therapy doctor orders. Then I will be doing strong training with Gina Ionescu my gymnastic coach."
"After you are done at Sunnydale Gymnastic Club go home and ice your knee and take it easy the rest of the night."
"I will Giles, I need to go meet Willow, Amy, Xander and Buffy outside our lockers, I will see you tomorrow."
Catalina stands up and puts her backpack on her back, then grabs the crutches that were lean against the study table and puts the crutches under her underarms. Catalina then hops toward the library doors. Meanwhile, outside Buffy is walking toward the main doors of the high school, when Owens who wearing a pair of khaki pant and a red polo shirt walks up to Buffy and stop in front of her.
"Buffy how about we go see a movie tonight, just the two of us?"
"Owen you are a great guy, but the two of us dating would not work out because being around me is not safe for you. Last night you were almost killed when we were walking home."
"But you save me and I want too spent more time with you and get to know you more."
"It is not fair for me to put you in danger every time we go somewhere and right now my life is too unpredictable and dangerously for you to be around me. There are lots of girls at Sunnydale High School that would love to go out with you."
"But I do not want to go out with anyone but you."
"It is not going to happen and it breaks my heart to say we can't date each other, but we can't."
Buffy walks around Owen and walk up to the main doors of the school. Buffy open up the center door and walks into school, then slowly walks to her locker. At the same time Xander who wearing a navy blue tee shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans, Amy's who wearing a gray long sleeved dress, Willow who wearing lite blue jean overall with a red sweater and Catalina are standing beside they locker waiting for Buffy, so the five of them can walk to world history together. Catalina is looking around the hallway for Buffy and Willow is reading her world history textbook and Xander and Amy is talking.
"You did not come to the Bronze last night Amy."
"No I stay home and work on homework and went to bed early because I was tired and was not feeling to well."
"Are you feeling better this morning?"
"Not really, but I was not running a fever, so my dad made me come to school."
Amy start yawning and put her left hand over her mouth and at the same time Buffy walk up to her locker and start turning the dial on the combination lock. A few moments later Buffy open up her locker and put the textbooks and notebooks that are not need for the morning classes into her locker. Buffy close and lock her locker, then leans up against the door of her locker. Buffy start yawning into her left hand and Catalina looks over at Buffy. And Catalina sees that Buffy has bags under her eyes and looks tired.
"Mr. Giles wants to see you after seventh hour Buffy and he said it was very important."
"Ok thank you for letting me know Catalina yawning."
"How did you sleep last night Buffy?"
"It was the best night sleep I had in a long time, but I am still exhausted and I woke up achy all over this morning Catalina. But I am not running a fever so I made myself come to school because Principal Snyder watching me like a hawk and say the next time I miss school that I need a doctor note because I miss too many days of school this year already."
"It not just you, Principal Snyder says that I am not allowed to miss anymore days until I have been cleared to compete in gymnastic again, but by then it will be summer time."
Buffy, Willow, Xander, Catalina and Amy start to laugh and then the five of them start to walk to the world history classroom. As they are walking to class Buffy looks over at Amy and see that Amy looks tired and that she keeps yawning too. Buffy starts to zip up the leather jacket because she has starts to get cold and at the same time is thinking I have to be getting sick, I am exhausted, cold and now I have a headache too. Once in the world history classroom Buffy take her seat and then lay her head down on the desk and close her eyes. Catalina who is sitting next to Buffy looks over at Buffy and can tell that Buffy is not feeling well and feel bed for not give her the head up about what Giles want to talk to her about, but before Catalina can say anything to Buffy, the bell for class to start rings.
The school day goes by too fast for Catalina, who is looking forward to going to Sunnydale Gymnastics Club and get her first training session in after physical therapy, even though she can't do the vault, beam, the floor or any dismount off of uneven bars yet, it will just be great to be back in Sunnydale Gymnastic Club and training with her teammates at the club. But for Amy and Buffy the school day goes by too slow, when the last bell rings Amy, Catalina and Xander rush out of class and leaves the school right away. But Willow walks with Buffy to the school library because she wants to work on homework and wants to know what Giles needs to tall Buffy. Buffy looks at Willow and start to yawn. Once Buffy stop yawning, she starts to talk.
"Willow will you copy your physical science notes on phases of matter at the start of class and then the notes from the movie we watch yawning on atomic structure from the second half of class and I will get them from your before school tomorrow yawning?"
"You should have stay awake during class and not sleep Buffy."
"Willow do not start with me I think that I am coming down with a cold or the flu, I am exhausted, have a headache and I am achey all over too."
"All right but only this once, stay awake in science tomorrow."
"I will try too."
Buffy and Willow stop talking to each other and Buffy rubs her forehead as they walk toward the library. A few minutes after the last bell of the day rang Willow and Buffy walks through the library door, Willow walks over to the study table and sit down on the first chair across from Giles's office. At the same time Buffy hops up onto the checkout counter, then lies down on her back with her feet pointing at the library doors and Buffy is yawning into her left hand and has her eyes close. Giles walks out of his office with a book in his hand and start to read out loud to Willow and Buffy.
"And there will be a time of crisis, of worlds hanging in the balance. And in this time shall come the Anointed, the Master's great warrior. And the slayer will not know him, will not stop him, and he will lead her into Hell.' As it is written, so shall it be. Five will die and from their ashes the Anointed shall rise. The Brethren of Aurelius shall greet him and usher him to his immortal destiny. As it is written, so shall it be."
"Great when I see this Anointed one I will dust him and make the yawning Master mad at me once again."
"Buffy's it is happening tonight five bodies were buried at Shady Hill Cemetery this morning and I believe that the Anointed will raise tonight. We need to be there to stop the Anointed one from making it to the Master and what I read you from coming true."
"Fine I will meet you at your house a half hour before sunset and we can go to the cemetery together. But right now I am going home to take some Tylenol for the pounding headache I have and take a nap because I am exhausted."
"Fine but do not be late, we cannot miss the Anointed one raise."
"I will not run late Giles."
Buffy sits up and then hop off the checkout counter, she grabs her backpack off the floor. Then Buffy waves bye to Willow and walks out of the library, yawning into her left hand. At the same time Willow take out her physical science notes and an extra notebook and a pen, then start to copy today notes for Buffy. Ten minutes later at the Summers's house Buffy is walking up the staircase to the second floor. When she reaches the second floor, Buffy goes into the bathroom and take two Tylenol and then head into her bedroom. Buffy close her bedroom door and then changes into a pair of black bootleg cotton workout pants and a white long sleeved shirt with a v-neck line. Buffy then set her alarm clock and lay down on her bed and pull the bedspread up. Buffy goes to sleep right away and does not wake up until her alarm clocks start to beep at her. Buffy sits up in bed and then turns her alarm clock off. Buffy gets out of bed and puts on her white tennis shoes, then walk out of her bedroom and goes into the bathroom. Buffy combs her hair and then puts her hair into a ponytail. Buffy looks into the mirror and see that the bags under her eyes are darker then when she got home from school and that she looks a little pale too. Buffy thinks about taking her temperature, but decide not to seeing that she was not running a fever this morning. Buffy leaves the bathroom and walks into her bedroom, then puts on Angel leather jacket. Buffy puts a few wooden stakes into the inside pockets of the jacket, then looks at her alarm clock to check the time. At the same time Mrs. Summers walks up to Buffy's bedroom door and Mrs. Summers is blowing her nose into a tissue.
"How are you feel this evening mom?"
"Awful, are you going out?"
"I am going over to Catalina's house for a few hours to watch a movie and then I will be home."
"Buffy maybe you should stay home tonight?"
"I am going out mom."
"Buffy when you come home from school you lay down and went to sleep and did not wake up until Ah-choo a few minutes ago. In addition you look pale and have bags under your eyes."
"I am fine morning, I had a headache when I get home from school, so I take some Tylenol and take a nap, but the headache is gone now."
"Coughing ok but do not stay out to late it is a school night!"
"I will not stay out too late mom."
Mrs. Summers walks away from her daughters' bedroom door and then Buffy walks out of her bedroom and heads downstairs. Once downstairs Buffy grabs a bottle of water out of the kitchen and put the bottle into the inside pocket on the right side of the jacket. A few minutes later Buffy is walking west down Revello drive, thinking why did I lie to my mom and say that I am fine and that the headache is gone when I still have the headache and it has getting worse and I am exhausted still and my throat has starts to hurt too. Buffy zips up the leather jacket because she has starts to get cold and then puts her hands into the pockets and is thinking I really should have taken my temperature when I get up from my nap, because I felt feverish since seventh hour. When Buffy is walking toward the front door of the house Giles is renting, she sees that Mr. Giles is waiting outside for her. Giles walks away from the front door and walk over to the 1966 Citroën station wagon in the driveway. Buffy walks over to the passenger side of the Citroën and open up the door. Buffy and Giles gets into the car and a few moments later Giles's is driving to Shady Hill Cemetery, on the ride to the cemetery Buffy lean the seat back and close her eyes. When Giles stops for a red light at the intersection of Beaumont Street and Market Street Giles looks over at his slayer and notice that his slayer looks tire, has bags under her eyes and is a little pale.
"Do you still have a headache?"
"Yes, but I feel well enough to patrol Shady Hill Cemetery tonight and keep an eye out for the Anointed one."
"That good because you not get out of it because of a headache and being tired."
"I know slayers do not get sick days."
The light turn green and Giles look both ways and then he drives forward a little, then turns left onto Market Street. Five minutes later Giles pulls his car up in front of the Shady Hill Cemetery that is right after Peters Street turns into Paris Street and the cemetery is on the south east end of Sunnydale. Giles puts the car into the parked position and then he turns the car off, at the same time Buffy take her seat belt off and then open up the car door. Buffy is already walking toward the cemetery gate when Giles gets out of the car with a crossbow and arrows in his hands. Two minutes later the watcher and slayer are walking around the cemetery. The two of them find the area that the bodies are buried at, which is in the center of the cemetery. Giles and Buffy walk over to a very large headstone that is carved out of granite. The headstone is of a monk kneeling in front of a stone tomb and the monk is crying. The tomb and monk are setting on top of a medium granite square that is on top of a large granite square and it carved from one large piece of granite. Giles sits down on the lower square and Buffy sits down on the top square and take the bottle of water out of the inside pocket of her jacket. She then takes the cap of the bottle of water and take a drink and at the same time the watcher and slayer start to watches the five new graves. Buffy looks away from the graves and looks over at Giles who is sitting on her right.
"How long do you think that we will have to wait?"
"I do not know Buffy."
"Great we could be here all night."
Buffy starts to yawn and puts her left hand over her mouth, seeing that the bottle of water is in her right hand. Giles looks at Buffy and then start to yawn himself. When the two of them stop yawning, they start to laugh and when they stop laughing Buffy and Giles goes back to watching the graves.

At six thirty in the morning Buffy alarm clock start beep in her right ear, Buffy reaches over with her right hand and hits the off button. Then Buffy rolls onto her back and feels her forehead, which feels clammy. Buffy start thinking about going back to sleep and stay home from school because her throat is killing her and still has a pounding headache, along with being achy all over and being exhausted. But then remember about the nightmare she was having about a young boy name Collin been bitten by a vampire after the bus he was on crush into a tree last night and Collin being turned into a vampire and Andrew Borba a wanted murderer been bitten and turned last night and three other people dead in the bus crush and then the dream switch to her and Darla fighting in front of her moms' house. Buffy throws the bedspread off and then get out of bed rubbing her eyes. Buffy walks over to her closet and opens up the doors, then start looking at her clothing to find something to wear to school. A few minutes later Buffy pulls a pair of dark blue jeans, a white wide strap tank top and lavender long sleeved shirt out of the closet. After change out of her pajama and getting dress for school, Buffy walks out of her bedroom and into the bathroom closes the hallway door behind her. Buffy sees that the door to her moms' bedroom is open and walks over to the door. Buffy looks through the door and see her mom is not in her bedroom, but close the door to the bedroom anyway. Buffy walks over to the sink, then open up the medicine cabinet and gets the thermometer out. Buffy takes her temperature and finds out she is running a fever of a hundred and one degree Fahrenheit. Buffy puts the thermometer away and is thinking great I am sick, this can't be happing right now with everything that is going on. Buffy brush her tooth and then take the ponytail out of her hair. Buffy combs through her hair and then put a ponytail into her hair. Buffy then puts on some makeup to hid the dark bags under her eyes and how pale she is.
A few minute later Buffy walks into the kitchen wearing Angel leather jacket and has her backpack on her left shoulder. The kitchen is at the back of the house and on the right-hand side if your back is to the front door of the house. Buffy sees her mom sitting on the first stool at the kitchen island and Mrs. Summers is drinking a streaming hot cup of herbal tea. Buffy walks over to the kitchen island and pick up an orange, then Buffy leans up against the cabinet in front of the kitchen sink and start to peel the orange.
"How are you feeling this morning Mom?"
"A little better then yesterday, but I am going to stay home from work this morning and afternoon to rest Ah-choo."
"Bless you."
"Thank you Buffy."
"You are welcome, I need to be leave for school now."
At the same time Buffy pull a slice of orange off of the orange and then take a bite of the orange slice. Mrs. Summers looks at her daughter, as Buffy walks over to the refrigerator and can tell by how slowly Buffy is walking that her daughter is not feeling well. Buffy open up the refrigerator and grab a twenty-oz bottle of apple juice out of the refrigerator. Buffy put the bottle of apple juice into the side water bottle holder on her backpack, Buffy close the refrigerator door and then start walking toward the kitchen doorway. At the same time Mrs. Summers starts to talk.
"Buffy what coughing time did you get home last night because I did not hear you come in last night?"
"At eleven o'clock, but I was quite because I know that you were not feeling well."
"I was Ah-choo all ready asleep that must be way I did not hear you come into the Ah-choo house and come upstairs. Buffy are you feeling all right because you seem tired, are moving slowly this morning and you look cold too?"
"I feel fine mom. I just had a rough night because of a nightmare that I was having."
"Ok then you better leave for school because you are running later then normal Buffy."
"I am leaving now."
"I love you Buffy Ah-choo."
"Love you too and bless you mom."
Mrs. Summers pulls a tissue out of her right robe pocket and start to blow her nose into the tissue and at the same time Buffy walk out of the kitchen and start walking to the front door of the house eating a slice of orange, despite not being hunger. As Buffy walks to school, she is eating the orange and hope that she can make it through the school day without have to go see the school nurse. Five and half minutes later Buffy walks onto the front lawn of Sunnydale High School, which is off of State Street and the school is across from the front of the row house that Catalina lives in and the row houses on each side of Catalina's row house. Buffy walks up to the main doors of the high school drinking her bottle of apple juice and once inside the high school Buffy goes straight to the library. When she walks through the library doors, Buffy sees Giles looking through a pile of return library books, Buffy tosses the empty bottle of apple juice into the trash can. Then Buffy looks around to make sure that she and Giles are the only two people in the library and start to talk to him as she walks over to the study table.
"Giles's I had a nightmare about a young boy name Collin that was bitten by a vampire after the bus he was on crush into a tree last night and Collin was turned into a vampire and a guy named Andrew Borba who is a wanted murderer was bitten and turned last night too and three other people dead in the bus crush and then my dream switch to me and Darla fighting in front of my moms' house."
Giles looks up from the books and then looks over at Buffy who is now sitting on the first chair at the first study table and is sitting across from his office. Mr. Giles also notices that Buffy has her legs up on the study table and her eyes are closed. Giles set the book that in his hands on the checkout counter and then walk out from behind the checkout counter and walks over to the study table. When he reaches the study tables Giles's takes his glasses off and start clean the glasses in his white handkerchief.
"I was not totally wrong about the Anointed one raise last night."
"How are we going to know who the Anointed one is Giles?"
"That is a good question, but I do not know the answers. When Willow gets to school, I will have her get online and check to see who was brought into the morgue last night, the body that was not taken to the morgue I believe will be the Anointed one Buffy."
"Ok Giles."
At the same time Catalina hops into the library on her crutches and is wearing a pair of dark blue jean overall short, a pink short sleeved shirt with a scoop neckline and a pair of white tennis shoes. Catalina hops over to the study table on her crutches and once at the study table set the crutches up against the second study table, then pull the second chair at the fist study table, which is on the side that Giles's office is on and then Catalina turns the chair, so the chair is facing the library doors. Catalina then sits down on the second chair. Then pull the first chair out and turn the chair so the seat of the chair is facing her. Catalina puts her legs up on the first chair and then start to talking.
"How did the hunt for the Anointed one go last night Giles?"
"No bodies raise from the graves."
"But I had a nightmare this morning about a young boy name Collin that was bitten by a vampire after the bus he was on crush into a tree last night and Collin was turned into a vampire and a guy named Andrew Borba who is a wanted murderer was bitten and turned last night too and three other people dead in the bus crush and then my dream switch to me and Darla fighting in front of my moms' house. And Giles thinks that the body that was not taken to the morgue last night will be the Anointed one."
"Buffy's was the other three people that dead in the nightmare bitten?"
"No Giles only Collin and Andrew Borba."
"Then I believe the Anointed one is either Andrew Borba or Collin."
Giles looks at Catalina and notice that she is looking at her left knee and then Giles notices the knee is swelling. Giles walks into his office and gets the ice pack out of the first aid kit. Giles walks out of his office shake the ice pack and then puts pressure onto the pack to break up the gel inside, then he pushes on the ice pack to move the gel around, which make the ice pack cold. By the time Giles reach the study table the ice pack is ready to use, Giles set the ice pack on Catalina's left knee and she smiles at her watcher.
"Thank you Giles."
"You are welcome."
At the same time the library doors open up and Willow who wearing a purple short sleeve dress that button up in the front and purple Mary Jane dress shoes and Xander who wearing a pair of black jean and red tee shirt walks into the library. The two teenagers walk over to Giles, Buffy and Catalina who are sitting at the study table or standing beside the study tables. Giles smiles at Willow and Xander, then he starts to talk.
"Willow I need you to get on the computer and get online and see if an Andrew Borba or a boy who first name is Collin were taken to Sunnydale Morgue last night."
"Sure Giles."
Willow walks behind the checkout counter and then she gets on the computer. At the same time Xander sits down on the second chair next to Buffy and across from Catalina. Xander looks at Buffy and notice that she has her leg up on the study table and has her eyes closed. Xander then notices that Buffy has her arms wrapped around her stomach. But before he can ask Buffy anything, Willow clear her throat. Xander, Giles and Catalina look over at Willow, but Buffy keeps her eyes closed and does not look at Willow.
"An Andrew Borba was brought into Sunnydale Morgue last night with bite marks on the right side of his neck, but no one named Collin was brought into Sunnydale Morgue last night."
"Thank you. Buffy and Catalina's I think that Collin is the Anointed one and that make sense to me."
"(Catalina and Buffy) how does that make sense?"
"Buffy and Catalina's would you believe that a young child could be Anointed one with great capable of sensing psychic powers and ancient power?"
"(Catalina and Buffy) no."
"And did I not say yesterday that "and the slayer will not know him, will not stop him, and he will lead her into Hell?"
"(Catalina and Buffy) yes you told me that yesterday Giles."
At the same time Willow walks over to the study table and sit down on the chair next to Xander. Giles starts to pace around the library and has also starts to clean his glasses with his handkerchief again. After a minute of pace Giles stop in front of Buffy who still has her eyes close and he starts to talk.
"Buffy you are to patrol around town and in the cemeteries tonight and keep an eye out for Collin who will mostly likely be accompany by a few of the Master minions."
Buffy does not say anything when Giles stops talking, which makes Giles, Willow, Xander and Catalina look at Buffy. Giles taps Buffy on her right shoulder and she opens her eyes and looks at Giles with a look that say what did I do?
"Buffy did you hear what I just told you?"
"No I doze off sorry, what did you tell me Giles?"
"You are to patrol around town and in the cemeteries tonight and keep an eye out for Collin who will mostly likely be accompany by a few of the Master minions."
"Ok. I am going to use the restroom before going to world history. Catalina, Xander and Willow I will meet you in the world history classroom."
Buffy takes her legs off of the study table and then stands up from the chair. Buffy grabs her backpack off the floor and then walks toward the doors of the library. Catalina, Xander and Willow watch Buffy leave the library and notice that she is walking very slow, when the library doors close, Xander starts to talk.
"Did Buffy seem really quiet this morning and did anyone else notice that she seems really tired and walking slowly then normal too?"
"Buffy and I were out really late last night waiting for the Anointed one to raise, she did not get a lot of sleep before having to get up and get ready for school this morning Xander."
"Not that I am saying you are wrong Giles, but Buffy was holding her stomach and had her eyes closed and legs up on the study table and she dozes off when you were talking to her and that is not like Buffy at all!"
"I am sure that Buffy is just tired Xander, now will the three of you leave the library so I can get some work done?"
Xander and Willow stand up from the chairs they were sitting on and then grabs they backpacks. Willow and Xander then start to walk toward the library doors, but Willow stop walking when she notices Catalina is not walking with them.
"Catalina are you coming with us?"
"I will meet you in class, I want to ice my knee a little longer."
"Ok."
Xander and Willow walk out of the library and then go to they lockers. At the same time Catalina is staring at the ice pack on her left knee and is thinking I wonder how long it will be before the knee stop hurting? Meanwhile in the girls' restroom that is nearest to the library, which is the restroom that has green subway tiles on the bottom half of the walls and is white on the top half of the walls and green toilet stall, Buffy is standing in front of the restroom sink and looking into the mirror over the center sink that is on the right-hand side of the restroom if standing with your back to the restroom door. Buffy is thinking today is going to be a very long day and long night patrolling. Buffy walks over to the large mirror that between the restroom door and sink and then sit down on the floor and bring her knees up to her chest and wraps her arms around her legs. Buffy then lays her head down on her knees and close her eyes, because the headache she has is so bad that the light is hurting her eyes. Buffy sits on the floor for a few minutes thinking maybe I should just leave school and go home seeing that I am running a fever, have a headache, a sore throat and now I have a stomachache too. The bell to head to the first class of the day rings, but Buffy does not stand up. After a few minutes' Buffy stand up from the floor grabbing her backpack at the same time, then Buffy walks out of the restroom and start walking to the front of the school and to the world history classroom. Buffy walks into the classroom right as the bell for class to start rings. Mrs. Jackson stands up from her desk chair and walks up to the chalkboard and start writing notes on the chalkboard.
"Buffy Summers's take your seat and get your textbook, notebook and a pen out."
Buffy does not say anything to Mrs. Jackson, she just walks over to the row of desks by the classroom window and sits down on the chair of the desk that is the second to last desks in the row and Catalina is sitting at the desk to her right. Catalina looks over at Buffy, as Buffy is getting out her textbook, notebook and a pen to take note with. Catalina lean toward Buffy and start to whisper into Buffy's ear.
"Buffy you were in the restroom for a long time, is everything all right?"
"Ahem yeah, I just really had to use the bathroom."
"Buffy Summers and Catalina Reducan stop talking and start talking notes on Chapter two: first civilizations of Africa and Asia from 3200 B.C. through 500 B.C."
Buffy open up her notebook and at the same time Catalina start to take the note on the ancient kingdoms of the Nile. Buffy opens up the textbook to chapter two and see not only does the chapter cover the ancient kingdoms of the Nile. But the chapter also covers Egyptian civilization, city and states of ancient's Sumer (land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which was supported the development of Sumerian civilization), Invaders, traders, and empire builders and The Roots of Judaism.

Once English class starts Ms. Miller passes out a pop quiz on the first half of The Grapes of Wrath. English class seems to go by slow for Buffy. Buffy looks over at Willow when the bell for second hour to end rings and see Willow has a huge smile on her face.
"I know that I get an A+ on the pop quiz."
Xander and Buffy roll they eyes, as the two of them put they English textbooks and notebooks into they backpacks. A few minutes later Buffy, Willow, Xander and Catalina are head to physical science and when they walk into the science lab Catalina, Buffy, Willow and Xander see that Dr. Gregory is not in class and that there is a substitute teacher. Buffy, Xander, Willow and Catalina head to the back of the classroom and sit down on stools at the last lab table on the left-hand side of the room if your back is to the teachers' lab table. When the bell for class to start rings, the substitute teacher starts to talk.

"Buffy and Catalina after seventh hour gets out, I want the two of you to go check out the science lab, after the substitute teacher leaves because Dr. Gregory mostly was killed in the science lab."
"(Buffy and Catalina) yes Giles."
Xander looks up from eating his hamburger and sees that Buffy is just picking her jell-O with the spoon and she is not eating the jell-O. Xander set his hamburger down on the plate and once he has swallowed the bite of hamburger he starts to talk.
"You are not eating your jell-O Buffy."
"I do not have an appetite Xander."
"You need to eat Buffy."
"I know that Xander, but I am not hunger."
Giles walks up behind Buffy and puts his hands on her shoulders and Buffy is happy that she is still wearing Angel leather jacket and that Giles is not able to feel the heat coming off her shoulder, from the fever she is running.
"Buffy eat your Jell-O because you need your strength for tonight patrolling."
"Fine."
Buffy starts to eat her jell-O and at the same time Giles walks up beside Catalina. Catalina puts her fork down and then takes a drink of water, at the same time Giles start talk.

"There was no other injury to the body, but the head was not in the refrigerator and I did not notice a head laying anywhere in the science lab, when I was in science class, Willow, Xander and Buffy did you see a head anywhere in the science lab?"
"(Willow, Xander and Buffy) No."
"Catalina and Buffy, when checking the science lab after school I want the two of you to check the closet in the classroom."
"(Buffy and Catalina) ok."
Giles head into his office to start looking up what demons behead their victims and the teenagers go back to eating they lunches. When lunch hour end Willow, Buffy, Xander and Catalina head to the gym for gym class. Willow and Buffy go into the girls' locker room to get change for gym and Xander goes into the boys' locker room to get change, as Catalina sits down on the first bench of the bleacher seeing that she can't take part in gym class because of her knee. Catalina spent gym class watching the class play basketball, when the bell for sixth hour to end rings Catalina join Buffy, Xander and Willow in the hallway and the four of them head to the computer lab for intro to computers. Once in the computer lab Xander, Buffy, Willow and Catalina walk over to the group of four computer desks at the very back of the class room, Buffy sits down on the chair that is on the left side of the room if your back is to the classroom door, Catalina sits down on the chair that back is to the teacher's desk. Xander sits down on the chair across from Catalina and Willow sits down on the chair across from Buffy. At the same time Buffy lay her head down on the desk and closes her eyes, wishing the headache would go away and that her throat would stop hurting too and that the stomachache she has will go away.

"Buffy's go to the nurse and go home sick and rest until you have to go out on patrol tonight."
"No school almost over and then I will help you search the science lab."
"I will search the science lab on my own, go home and get some rest before going out on patrol this evening because that is something I can't do yet."
"Ok. I will go home when school gets out yawning."
"Buffy Summers and Catalina Reducan stop talking and get to work on your assignment that is due at the end of the hour."

Mrs. Summers then blows her nose into the tissue. Buffy close her eyes and start to dozes off again, thinking my mom is not buying that I am fine and just need sleep.
"Buffy open up your mouth right know."
"(Yelling) Mom's I am not sick, just leave me alone and let me get some sleep."
"(Yelling) Fine do not let me take your temperature, but you are stays in tonight and going to bed early. Dinner Ah-choo is whatever you can coughing fixes yourself because I have to get ready for a doctor appointment and then I have to go to the art gallery for opening of Ah-choo an art show that I cannot get out of and I will not Ah-choo be home too late."
"Fine."
Mrs. Summers leaves the thermometer on the nightstand and walks out of her daughters' bedroom and goes into her bedroom. Buffy gets out of bed and walks over to her bedroom door and close the door because her mom left the door open. Buffy then walks back over to her bed and lay back down pulling the cover up. But before going back to sleep Buffy picks up the thermometer and puts the thermometer into her mouth. A short time later Buffy takes the thermometer out of her mouth and sees that her fever has went up to a hundred and two degrees Fahrenheit. Buffy set the thermometer on the nightstand and then lays her head on the pillows. A few minutes later Buffy falls to sleep, Mrs. Summers looks into her daughters' bedroom ten minutes later and sees that Buffy is sound asleep. Mrs. Summers close Buffy's bedroom door and then she goes downstairs. She then walks into the kitchen and pulls a piece paper off the pad on the refrigerator and writes Buffy a note, once the note is finish Mrs. Summers set it on the kitchen island, then leave the house to head to her doctors' appointment.
Buffy roll over in bed and looks at her alarm clock and see that it is six o'clock at night. She sits up in bed and rubs her eyes. Buffy then get up and walks over to her bedroom door. She open up the door and walks across the hall to the bathroom because she needs to use the bathroom. A few minutes later Buffy walks out of the bathroom and head downstairs with her arms wrap around her stomach because her stomach is still hurting. Buffy walks into the kitchen and see a note from her mom on the kitchen island. Buffy walks over to the island and pick up the note and start to read the note. Buffy I am sorry that I yell at you about not allow me to take your temperature. I feel awful and was mad that you would not let me see if you had a fever. I know you are getting older and I need to trust you when you tell me that you feel fine and are not sick. But it is my job to worry about you and when I saw you sleeping and shivering in your sleep, with the fact that you have been acting off the last few days, it made me worried that you might be catch whatever I have. Take it easy to tonight and make yourself a can of chicken noodle soup and make sure to drink enough to night, because I think you might be coming down with something, love your mom. Buffy set the note down and then walks over to the refrigerator and open up the door of the refrigerator. Buffy looks into the refrigerator wishing that she has an appetite seeing that would make find something to eat easy. Buffy grabs a twenty-oz bottle of apple juice and a strawberry yogurt out of the refrigerator and then close the refrigerator door. Buffy gets a spoon out the silverware drawer and then sits down on the second stall at the kitchen island. Buffy open up the apple juice first and take a drink. A minute later Buffy starts to eat the yogurt despite having not appetite and her throat hurt so bad that it hurts to swallow. When she has finished eating and drinking the apple juice she throws the empty bottle, yogurt container and note into the trash can and then head upstairs. Once upstairs Buffy walks into the bathroom and sees that her hair is a mess. She takes the ponytail out and combs her hair, then French braid her hair. Buffy brush her tooth and a few minute later Buffy walks out of the bathroom then goes into her bedroom. She sits down on her bed and looks at the alarm clock and sees that it is six twenty-nine and that means she needs to get her shoes on and leave the house because the sun has already set. Buffy puts her white tennis shoes on and then stands up from her bed. Buffy grabs the black leather jacket off the armchair because she is cold again. She puts the jacket on and checks the inside pockets and finds the wooden stakes are still in the inside pockets. Buffy lift up the window a little that is near the tree for if her mom gets home before her. Buffy then walks over to the bed and puts a few pillows under the bedspread and cover them up with the bedspread, so it looks like she asleep under the cover that way if her mom looks into the bedroom when she gets home, she thinks that her daughter is asleep. Buffy walks out of her bedroom close the door behind her and a few minutes later Buffy is walking down Revello Drive. She is heading to Sunnydale Cemetery first and as Buffy is walking down the street she zips up the leather jacket wishing that she was home in bed because she feels awful. As walking through the gate of Sunnydale Cemetery Buffy puts her left hand up the sleeve of the jacket and start itching the back of her right wrist because the wrist has starts to itch. After walking past the fourth row of headstone, Buffy walks over to the first headstone in the fifth row and sits down on the headstone. Buffy close her eyes and is still itching her wrist. Buffy stop itching her wrist and rolls the sleeve up to see a red blister rash on the back of her wrist. Buffy turns her arm so the top of the wrist and hand can be seen and see the same red blister rash on the top of her wrist and hand too. Buffy pulls the sleeve down and then stand up and start walking around the cemetery again and does not notice that she has put her left hand up the right sleeve and is itching the rash on the back of her wrist because that itch more then the front of the wrist and top her right hand does. Buffy stop walking because she realizes that she is itching her wrist and pulls a stake out of left inside pocket and put the stake in her left hand to keep herself from itching. But that does not work a few minutes later the stake is in her right hand and her left hand is up the right sleeve itching the red blister rash on the back of her right wrist. At the same time Buffy gets a tickling feeling on the back of her neck that she gets when a vampire is around. Buffy like around the cemetery and see Darla and a vampire named Jane walking along side Collin. Buffy pull her left hand out of the sleeve and start walking toward the two female vampire and the boy vampire that is between Darla and Jane. Darla sees Buffy and looks at Jane.
"Jane get Collin out of here and take him into town to find someone to eat, I will take care of the slayer."
"Collin come with me."
Collin and Jane run to the gate of Sunnydale Cemetery and are going before Buffy can stop them, but does not have time to think about it because Darla comes running at her. Darla does a front kick and her foot hits Buffy in the right hip and the slayer hip make a popping sound. Buffy stumblers backwards. Darla rushes up to the slayer and push Buffy backwards. Buffy falls to the ground and Darla jumps on top of the slayer.
'This has been fun, but I did my job and Collin has got out of the cemetery and he is on his way to find something to eat and I will see you later slayer."
"Ahem this is not over!"
"You not sounding too hot slayer, it sounds like you have a frog in your throat."
"I feel well enough to fight you."
"Sorry I have somewhere I need to be."
Darla hops up and runs out of the cemetery and she runs to the Sunnydale art gallery to watch Mrs. Summers work at the art shower. At the same time Buffy slowly gets to her feet and pick up the stake she dropped when she got knocked down by Darla. Buffy walks out of the Sunnydale Cemetery, because she knows Collin is not there and starts walking around town looking for Collin and Jane itching the back of her right wrist. Buffy is half way to the Bronze when Angel walks up on her right side. Angel sees that Buffy is itching the back of her right wrist and is yawning too.
"Good evening Buffy."
"Ahem hello Angel have you seen a vampire name Jane and a young boy vampire named Collin?"
"No Buffy."
At the same time Buffy stop itching her wrist and then unzips the jacket because she is hot. Angel walks in front of Buffy and sees a red blister rash on the part of the chest and shoulders that the tank top is not covering. At the same time Buffy take the jacket off and ties arms of the leather jacket around her waist for if she gets cold again and Angel sees that the red blister rash is all over Buffy arms and top of her hands too and walks behind Buffy and sees the red blister rash is over Buffy back too. Angel walks back in front of Buffy and gives her a worry look.
"Buffy do you know that you are cover in a red blister rash?"
"No I know there was a red blister rash on the back of my right wrist and top of the wrist and hand but did not know that the rash was all over."
"The rash is on your arms, shoulder and the part of the chest the tank top is not covering and your back too, Buffy."
"Great now I have a red blister rash with the sore throat, headache, stomachache, being achy all over and a fever, can today get any worse?"
At the same time a shirtless Andrew Borba comes running toward Buffy and Angel in full vampire face. Andrew runs past Angel and up to Buffy licking his lips. Buffy does a roundhouse kick and her right foot hits Andrew in his face but the vampire does not move.
"The Master told me about you as I sleep and you do not seem as tough as he said you would be!"
"You have not known me long enough to say that I am not taught!"
Buffy does another roundhouse kick and this time puts more force into the kick and Andrew fly backwards and his back hit the sidewalk hard. He jumps right back up and runs up to Buffy and grab her around the waist, then throws Buffy across the street. Buffy back hits the wall of an old brick building and then she falls to the ground. Angel grabs the stake Buffy drop and runs up to Andrew and grabs him from behind. Angel then sticks the stake into Andrew heart. A few moments later Andrew turns to dust and at the same time Buffy stand up from the ground with her left hand on her forehead. Buffy walks over to Angel and take the jacket off her waist and put the leather jacket back on because she has start to get cold, but does not zip the jacket up.
"Thank you for the help Angel."
"You are welcome, do you want me to patrol with you tonight?"
"Yes that would be nice."
Buffy and Angel start walking down the sidewalk and Buffy tells Angel what Jane and Collin looks like, so he will know them if he sees them. After thirty minutes of walking Buffy stops walking and puts her hands on her knees. Angel walks in front of Buffy and sees that the red blister rash is now on Buffy neck and face too.
"Buffy I think that you should go home and go to bed, the more I look at that red blister rash that is spreading, the more the rash looks like chickenpox."
"Chickenpox is a childhood illness and I am a teenager Angel."
"Teenagers and adult can get chickenpox too, trust me I have been around a lot of years and seen tons of people with chickenpox. I help my mom take care of my little sister, when my father and sister had chickenpox at the same time."
"Ahem I do not need to go home Angel I am fine, beside I can't rest until I find Collin because he is the Anointed One and Giles does not want him to get more powerful then he already is."
Buffy stands up straight and put her right hand onto her forehead that is very clammy. Buffy start coughing into her left hand and walks away from Angel, but stumblers. Angel walks up beside Buffy and puts his right arm around Buffy's waist.
"Buffy you are shivering and sweating at the same time and have started to cough too, you are too sick to be out patrolling for vampires and demons."
"I am fine Angel, if you do not want to patrol with me go home, but I am not going home."
"Fine, but let walk slowly and if you start to feel to rough let me know and I will walk you home and make sure you get inside safe."
"That is fine."
Angel keeps his arm around Buffy's waist because she still seems unstable on her feet. The two of them start walks and ten minutes later the slayer and Angel walks past the Bronze, which door is opening and the two of them can hear Dingoes Ate My Baby playing the song shadows. Angel takes his eyes off Buffy when he sees a small boy trying to get into the club, but the bouncer is not letting him into the club and sees Jane inside the club, but Jane sees Angel and runs to the back door of the club and takes off. At the same time the bouncer starts to talk to the boy.
"I cannot let you into the club you are too young, you have to be in high school to be allowed inside."
"I did not ask you if I could come in!"
The young boy pulls the bouncer off of his stool and then bring the bouncer neck up to his mouth. Angel and Buffy run over to Collin and the bouncer. Buffy pulls Collin off of the bouncer and at the same time Angel help the bouncer into the club and then Angel come out of the club and close the club door behind him to see Buffy fighting the young vampire. Buffy does a roundhouse kick, but miss Collin and she start to stumbler. Collin runs away from the Bronze, as Buffy falls to her knees. Angel runs up to Buffy and help her up. Angel puts his right arm around Buffy's waist and she lay her head on his humerus (the upper arm), see she too short to reach his shoulder in tennis shoes.
"Angel will you walk coughing me home, you are right I am too sick to be patrolling tonight."
"Sure and then I will patrol the rest of the night for you."
"Thank you Angel."
Buffy and Angel start walking away from the Bronze and four and half minutes later Buffy and Angel turn left onto State Street. Three minutes later they turn right onto Revello Drive. Angel looks at Buffy and sees that she is doing ok. A few minutes later Angel start walking Buffy up to the front door of the house, because her mom SUV is not home and she is in no shape to climb up the tree and go through her bedroom window. Angel is helping Buffy walk up the porch steps, when Darla walks out of the shadow and walks toward Angel and Buffy.
"Oh this is so cute, a vampire with a soul helping a sick slayer home."
"You leave Buffy alone, Darla!"
"You know that I can't leave her alone Angel, she keeps stopping the Master plans and that has to end. I was going to drink her mother blood and turn her tonight, but then I change my mind because I know that Buffy is in no shape to beat me tonight, so I come here to kill her when she come home from patrolling tonight."
"I will not let you kill her, Darla."
"I cannot believe I every loved you Angel, what did I see in you?"
"You did not love me, you loved Angelus the soulless evil monster that you created. I am not Angelus anymore."
"No you are not, Angelus would never help a sick slayer or injured slayer or have feeling for a slayer like you do. That right I know you have feeling for Buffy Summers and it make me sick to my stomach."
Darla runs up to Angel and Buffy and grabs Angel by the waist and throw Angel through the air and he hit the front of the house across the street hard and then Angel falls to the ground and lands in the flower bed that is under the windows. Then Darla runs up to Buffy who has made it to the front door of the house and is putting her key into the door. Darla grabs a hold of the slayer and throw Buffy off the porch. Darla then jump off the porch and on top of Buffy. The female vampire switch to full vampire face and start licking her lips as she leans toward Buffy neck.
"I have always wonder what a slayer blood taste like and I think I am going to find out tonight."
Buffy pull her legs up and puts her feet on Darla stomach and then start to push Darla away with her feet, but in her wreaking state, Buffy is unable to push Darla off. Buffy starts to cough and at the same time her legs give out and Darla falls on top of her. Darla push up and then start lean toward the slayer neck again and at the same time Angel walk up behind Darla with a wooden stake in his right hand and push the stake through Darla back and right into the female vampire heart.
"No!"
Darla turns to dust and the dust falls onto Buffy, who is still laying on the ground coughing into her hands. When Buffy stops coughing, Angel takes her hands and pull Buffy up. Buffy starts to walks toward the house, but her legs give out on her. Angel catches Buffy before she falls to the ground. Then Angel puts his arms around Buffy and then he lifts Buffy up. He then carries Buffy up the porch steps and to the front door. Buffy turns the key in the lock and then take the key out of the lock. Angel open up the front door, but does not walk through the door.
"I can go into the house because you have to take it from here Buffy. If I put you down will you be able to make it inside on your own?"
"No, Angel's I invited you into my home."
Angel walks through the front door of the house and then he puts Buffy on her feet long enough to close and lock the front door of the house. Angel then picks up Buffy and carry her upstairs and into her bedroom. Angel sits Buffy onto her bed and then he takes her tennis shoes and socks off Buffy feet and sees the red blister rash on Buffy ankles, the tops of the feet and the bottom of her feet too.
"The rash is on your ankles and on top and bottom of your feet too."
"Now I know the reason my feet and ankles are itching."
Angel goes over to Buffy's closet and grabs a pink over sized nightshirt out of the closet. He walks back over to Buffy and hand her the nightshirt. Angel then turn so he back is to Buffy and then she stands up on her shake legs and changes into the nightshirt. A minute later Buffy pulls the bedspread back and puts the pillows back at the head of the bed. Angel turns around and sees Buffy lay down on her bed. Angel pulls the bedspread up and covers Buffy up. Angel walks over to the open window and closes the window, he then locks the window.
"Buffy do you need anything before I leave?"
"Don't leave yet Angel, I do not want to be alone and my mom will not be home until late because of the art show at her art gallery."
"Buffy you need to rest and if I stay here you will not rest."
"Then stay until I fall to sleep, please."
"Sure Buffy, but I want you to take your temperature."
"Ok."
Buffy picks up the thermometer from the nightstand and take her temperature. A minute later she looks at the thermometer and sees that her fever is now a hundred and three degrees Fahrenheit. Buffy set the thermometer on the nightstand and then start to cough into her left hand. Angel sits down on the edge of the bed and looks at Buffy, who has rolled onto her left side, so she is looking at him.
"How high was your fever?"
"A hundred and three degrees Fahrenheit."
"I am going to go into the bathroom and get you a paper cup of water and two Tylenol, you need to get the fever down."
"Ok."
Angel stands up and walks out of Buffy's bedroom and goes into the bathroom. A minute later Angel walks back into Buffy's bedroom and over to her bed. Buffy rolls onto her back and then sits up and Angel hands Buffy the two pills. She puts the pills into her mouth and Angel sees that chickenpox rash is in Buffy's mouth too.
"The rash is in your mouth too, Buffy."

"I am not going anywhere Buffy, just close your eyes and go to sleep. I will stay until I hear your mom pull into the driveway and then I will run downstairs and go out the back door before your mom is even out of her SUV."
"Thank you, come sit on the edge of my bed and hold my right hand."
"Sure Buffy."
Angel stands up and walks over to the bed and sits down on the edge of the bed. Buffy rolls onto her left side and Angel takes a hold of Buffy right hand in his left hand. Angel then puts his right hand onto Buffy's forehead. Buffy open up her eyes and looks at Angel.

"Ok I will keep an eye on you tonight and when the fever starts to go back up, I will give you some more Tylenol and in coughing the morning I am calling the doctor and making you a doctor appointment. I did not think that you would get the chickenpox at fifteen and half years old."
