A/N: ok everyone, this is the LAST CHANCE to submit an OC to be the first big villain of the story. I have 3 really good ones right now, and if I do not get one before I post the chapter after this one, I ll just pick one of those. Their all really good, so it will be an awesome villain regardless. It can be any kind of creature except for a vengeance demon, because one of my friends wants me to write her in later as one lol. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! R&R pleas!
Later that night, me and Buffy headed to the library to meet up with Willow, Giles, Xander, Oz, and Amy. Well, actually, Amy was not there when we arrived.
"Why is she always latte?" pondered Xander.
"I hope no night hunters got her," worriedly said Willow.
"She's fine," I calmly reassured them. "The night hunters are only after me."
"Oh, ok," they all sighed with relief.
At that moment, Amy walked in.
"Sotty I'm late guys," she said.
"it's ok," I replied. "We were just getting started."
"So," asked Giles concernedly, "what did you and Buffy discover, Erika?"
"Well," I began, crossing my arms and closing my eyes as I began to sort the details, "me and Buffy went hunting. We defeated a small nest of vampires, then, just as we were about to call it a night, a night hunter attacked me. We worked together, and I managed to defeat it by chopping off its head."
"Wow, you managed to stop one of those things?" surprisedly asked Oz
"Yes," I replied," but it definitely WASN'T easy."
"Anyways," I continued, blushing slightly from embarrassment, "like I said, I managed to chop off its head." I reached into my bag, and I pulled out the creatures decapsitated head
"Eeeeeeewww!" yelled Willow, Amy, and Xander.
I rolled my eyes and continued. "Anyway, we may be able to use this to discover who cast the summoning spell in the first place."
"Using the creature's flesh and blood to trace the blood of the original summoner…" pondered Giles. "That's quite brilliant idea, I must say."
"So, how do we do it?" asked Willow.
"We'll need to gather some supplies," I stated. "Willow and Buffy will come with me to the magic shop. Giles, Xander, Oz, and Amy, you all stay here and look through the books, as well as the enemies list I made earlier, to see if you can find anything on the creatures, especially past use of them by those who despise me We'll be beack soon."
Me, Willow, and Buffy then left the library to go to the magic shop.
We managed to walk there without running into any people, vampires, or night hunter demons, thankfully. But, when we got there, the store was already closed!
"Oh no!" said Willow. "How will we get the supplies we need now?"
I grimaced, then handed my steak to Buffy. "Desperate times call for desperate measures," I said wisely as I leaned over and picked the lock.
"Um, Is this a good idea?' Buffy and Willow asked?
"No, but we have to stop these creatures before they hurt anyone," I replied. "We shall lock the door back and leave money for what we take when we leave to return to the library."
I got what we needed, then left money and locked the door back. If it were'nt for the money left, no one would ever know we were there. Anyway, it started thundering and lighting, but not raining.
"Looks like bad weather is coming," said Buffy.
"Yeah," I replied. "lets get back before rain starts"
"Ok," replied Buffy and Willow.
We returned to the school and entered the library just as it started raining.
"Do you have what you need for the spell, Erika?" Giles asked me.
"Yes," I replied, placing my bag on the table next to the head of the monster. "Did you find any new info?"
"Unless you count the fact that night hunters have been known to eat pickles, then no," stated Xander, slamming a book shut.
"Ok, let's do this then," said Amy.
I prepared the ingredients, and had everyone stand in a circle and join hands. I took some of the blood from the creature's head nad mixed it with the ingredients in a silver bowl as the lighting, thunder, and heavy rain continued outside.
I then began the spell. "The blood of the demon, seeking the warrior," I said as I placed the demon's head in the bowl. I then took a sliver knife and cut my finger, and let it bleed into the bowl. "The blood of the warrior, injustly hunted," I continued. "I beseech thee, powers of supernatural forces, lead us to the culprit who would seek to do harm!" Upon this, my eyes turned completely black, and lots of thunder and lightining outside increased. A small, gold light came out of the bowl, and flew out the door of the library.
"That's it!" I yelled as my eyes returned to normal. "That light will lead us there! We have to follow it!" I began running after it, with everyone else behind me.
"Hopefully, this will be the end of it…" I thought to myself worriedly.
