Ken-
"Ok it's been a to long since we came up with a serious challenge. I'm getting all kinds of bored." I said complaining as I walked across the small road. Alex and Chloe followed, "would ya keep it down." Chloe said. Alex looked at Chloe and rolled her eyes a little. "She's right; Buffy won't let us go after anything that's doing serious damage. She takes those on herself as if we're not ready." Alex agreed with me. "Thank you, that's what I'm talking about." I claimed as I sat on a bench. I looked up to see a vamp walk up behind Alex. He's small so I'm not worried about her. I motion in his direction and Alex goes off to fighting him.
"We haven't even been able to go after this stupid clan." I reminded them, "Right,…It's not Like…we Can't Handle them" Alex called back to us while fighting. Then she stakes the vamp then walks over to us. "Remember what happened last time we tried to take on a group of demons by ourselves?" Chloe questioned still trying to be the voice of reason. "Which ones the Seguir demon or the ones in LA?" I asked sarcastically, Chloe crossed her arms. "Both…" Chloe stated crossing her arms and giving the natural, 'I'm a woman and I'm mad'. Looks like Alex isn't getting any tonight.
"Buffy isn't going to put us in something we can't handle until we show her we can. This isn't Sunnydale, she's still trying to get used to this city too." Chloe stated. "I like it this way. Less for me to worry about." Chloe said as she walked off a little pissed. Alex rolled her eyes and sighed then ran after her. I pulled myself up off the bench and followed them. I gotta remember that she came from a different side of the tracks then we did.
I slowly walk behind them as they continue arguing. As I walk up next to them and stick my nose in the air as I smell something that isn't normally in the cemetery other then the rotting dead and vamps. Looking ahead I could see a mausoleum. There was light coming from it. "Guys" I whispered as I pulled them behind a big hedge stone. They sat and looked up at me confused as I knelt trying to see over it. All I could see was a building. I looked at them and Chloe looked up at me still lost but Alex I think caught on. She sat up on her knees and Chloe followed slowly.
"Should we check it out?" Alex asked looking from me to Chloe. Without answering I stood and walked to the back of another tall grave stone. "Ken?" Alex said as she followed. The door opened and I pulled her down behind me. I looked back at Chloe and motioned for her to stay there. I could hear it walking in the distance, with others following him. I looked over the grave again and saw that they had their backs facing us. I motioned for Chloe to come to us.
Chloe ran over and slid into place next to Alex. "We should go get Buffy." Chloe demanded. I knew she was going to say that. She went to stand and I guess run but I grabbed hold of her belt yanking her ass back to the ground. "No…I want to check it out see what their up to. Do recon." I continued and looked up at Alex who shrugged her shoulders then looked at Chloe as if to say what choice do we have. "That isn't a good idea." Chloe stated voicing her worries, "We don't know how many of them there are. Or what they are for that matter." She argued and I smiled. "Right ok so we do recon then go back to big bad Buffy Summers." I expllained and Chloe rolls her eyes and we all stand.
As I watch them closer I look to see they look human. We could so take them, this would be so easy. As I run from stone to stone ducking behind each one Chloe and Alex follows. Were about 20 yards away now and I could hear them talking. Their voices sound human. I look over the hedge to see that they've gone back into the mausoleum. I sit and look up at Chloe and Alex to see they were still looking themselves. I look to each side and see a way we could go. I motion for them to follow me then I stand and run to the back of the mausoleum.
When I get back there I slide under the window and sit against the wall. "They're chanting." Chloe stated, "thank you captain obvious." I said as I looked up at her. I sit up and onto my knees pulling myself up to look in the window. Seconds later Alex follows and does the same.
I count eight, no nine men in dark black robes standing in a circle. I can't see their faces. So I don't know how inhuman they are. There a small fire in the middle along with writing on the floor around a pentagram. Ha I know something. Having a Wicka for a girlfriends does come in handy. Their still chanting but it's not all the same words at the same time. It sounds like Latin, Willow has taught me some but I'm not all that good at it so I don't know what they're saying. "epitah" they all said at once and one of them looks up in our direction. I drop to the ground. I reach up to pull Alex away from the window but there a flash of light and she goes flying back. Shit.
Without stopping to look back I grab Chloe's arm and we run picking up Alex as we do. We're kind of dragging her but I don't want to stop. I look back as I run and the men hadn't come out to look and see where we are. We run past the stone we were at earlier. "Ok, I don't think they're following us" I said as I stopped behind the hedge. Now I'm wishing we would have taken the escalade. I looked down at Alex and she looks stunned but she's conscious. "Alex… Alex" Chloe said trying to get her attention but Alex doesn't really say anything she just nods her head. "She's ok, come on." I said as I bend down and put Alex's arm over my shoulder. "I'm..i ca wa" she said but her sentence was fragmented. I couldn't understand her "I think you hit you head." I said as I start to walk. "Why didn't they follow us?" Chloe said looking back. "They don't think we're a threat." I said as I picked up the pace and we walked out of the cemetery.
I stopped at a bench outside the gates and let Alex sit down to rest. "Txt eve and tell them they should head home soon. Because we're leaving." I said as I knelt in front of Alex. Chloe looked at me and shook her head, I held up a finger in front of Alex's face. "I'm fine" she said a little clearer. "Yea right… come on lets get you home" I stood holding my hand out for her to stand. "They said they're on the way now." Chloe anounced looking at her phone. "K lets go home" I looked back into the cemetery. Looking back at Chloe she rolled her eyes. "Oh don't even start." I said as I knew she was about to say 'I told you so'.
I walked back into the house with Alex and Chloe following me. I could hear Buffy in the kitchen. "I'm going to get her to bed." Chloe said and put her arms around Alex's shoulder. Alex turned to follow me but Chloe wouldn't let her. "Don't let her go to sleep. I Think willow should take a look at her." Chloe nodded. I walked on to the kitchen to see Buffy standing there reading something off a package. She put it in the fridge then looked up at me. "What are you guys doing back?" Buffy questioned, I looked to my right to see Willow and Faith get up off the couch and walk in my direction. "We ran into some guys dressed in robes. They were chanting something, and standing around a pentagram." I explained and that got their attention. "Did anything happen?" Buffy asked, "Did you understand anything they said?" Willow questioned. I looked at Willow then Buffy, "well I only caught a word that they all said together. Epitah" I stated and Willow looked at me then realized something. "After that one of them saw us and knocked Alex off the window." They all looked at me curiously. "Is she ok?" Faith asked leaning on the counter. "Yea I think she just knocked her head pretty good" I stated.
"BUFFY!" someone screamed it could have only been Chloe, We all turned and Buffy took off running upstairs. We all followed. I stood just inside the door and Willow pushed past me. Faith came to a stop a foot or so behind me. "I don't know she just…she passed out I can't get her to wake up." Chloe cried as she made room for Buffy on the bed. "Sometime it take concussions a minute." Buffy explained as she moved to sitting closer. Willow sat on the other side looking up at Chloe and Buffy. "I can't speed up healing on the brain because there might be brain damage" Willow stated and looked down worried. "Well why don't you make sure that's all it is?" Buffy said as she looked up at Willow concerned.
"She ain't a brain surgeon B." Faith walked in a few steps. "Willow…" Chloe said as she looked up at Willow almost pleading. Willow took a second to think then placed a hand on Alex chest. The was a small light, Willow brow furrowed and then she stopped. "I didn't sense anything." Willow stated, but it was strange, she didn't look worried. "She doesn't have a concussion either" Willow said and turned to me. "Baby exactly what did you see?" Willow asked. I walked till I was standing next to the bed.
"It was just a flash of light to me. I was already back on the ground as it hit her, I think?" Willow looked back down at her. "Well she's just sleeping. We'll have to wait till morning." Willow stated and looked up at Buffy. We all stood, Willow left a comforting hand on Chloe shoulder. "Call for me if there's any change ok." Willow ordered Chloe then looked back at me.
Willow walked to me and out of the room. Faith stood just behind her. Buffy said something to Chloe then followed. "Come on, you're going to show me." Willow stated and we walk down stairs to see the rest of the girls getting back from the patrol. I followed her and Buffy downstairs and stood off to the side. "Did the three of you see anything?" Buffy asked. As they stood there looking confused. "No just a few vamps." Nikki said, and then looked at me. I didn't do anything. "Ok, Rona Nikky Vi" Buffy said as she looked at them. She looked so serious, I'm not sure if I wanted to go. But I guess don't wish for something if you don't want it. "Kennedy, come on lets go." Buffy said walking to her chest and grabbing her stake. I looked up at Faith who looked at me looking longing to go with us. "I'll stay here and hold down the fort" Faith said as she smiled all fake. "Ok call Giles and let him know what happened. Maybe he'll know something we didn't think of." Buffy ordered. Faith nodded then pushed me in the direction of the front door and we all left.
Next morning-
So those guys weren't at the mausoleum later last night when we got there. They did something to the pentagram so we couldn't really tell what it was. From what Willow could make out it was a summoning circle. We got a good couple of pieces from the ashes from the fire though. Some pieces were human body parts. Willow mentioned something about there would be other ingredients' but I couldn't really tell from just lookin at them. I officially got no sleep last night. I don't think Willow slept much either. She stayed up most of the night lookin over the stuff from that fire before I felt her get into bed with me really early this morning.
I rolled over and to see Willow sound asleep. It looked as if nothing in the world could bother her right now. It's a good thing its Sunday because I wouldn't be going to school if it wasn't. Sitting up slightly I look at the clock. 12pm. Great Buffy is going to love that, but I could lay her and watch her sleep for hours. How did I get so damn lucky?
Willow scrunched up her eyebrows then opened her eyes. After blinking really hard a few times she rolls her head and looks over at me. "Morning" I said quietly as if there was a bunch of people in the room to hear. "Hi" willow stated and rubbed her sleep ridden eyes. I moved so I was closer and kissed her lightly. After the kiss Willow rolls her head in the direction and looks at the clock. "Hmm, I wonder why Buffy didn't wake us up?" she gives me this concerned look and sits up. She's such a work-coholic.
After stretching a little we both get out of the bed and walk to the dresser. I put on a shirt because I don't think everyone wants to see me in my bra and undies. Willow grabs a pair of PJ pants and walked out of the room putting them on. I follow.
Stepping out of the room I didn't see where she went. "Willow" I called and she stuck her head out of the bathroom then motioned for me to come in. Then I heard it, "baby please go get me a glass of water?" Willow yelled back so I walked past the bathroom to see Faith in there kneeling over the toilet. So I picked up my pace.
Downstairs Nikki sat talking with Buffy and Giles. "Good to see you decided two join the rest of us." Giles greeted as I walked over to the cabinet and grabbed a cup. "Have one you checked in on Alex?" he continued as I got water from the fridge. I shook my head 'no'. "I'll look in on them, gotta get this to Faith she isn't feeling well." I said then turned, "Is she ok?" Buffy said shooting up from her seat as if I told her Faith got hit by a truck. When she noticed how she reacted she straightened herself out. "We got it B. It's no big right?" I said as I took steps backwards. "right no big…" Buffy said repeating what I said trying to look as if it wasn't a big deal. She had a look on her face like someone just took her lollipop. I shook my head and turned running back upstairs with the glass of water. These two really need to get their hands on each other before the other explodes.
As I turned into the bathroom Faith was sitting with her back against the wall. "I can't even sleep in because of this shit." Faith complained as she threw a washcloth against the wall, then looked up at me as I stood at the door. "I could probably conjure something up for that." Willow states looking all concerned. Faith looks up at her unsure, "I'll call some of my old coven and see what they recommend." Willow continued because she saw the hesitation in her face. I took a few steps in and handed willow the glass of water. "Ok so I'm already starving again." Faith stated and reminded me I had another task on my hands. Checking in on Chloe and Alex. "I'm going to check on Alex." I said as I point a thumb behind me. Willow nods and Faith just kinda smiles something uneasy. Then goes back to her new best friend the toilet.
Turning and walking out of the bath room something hits me really hard. I stumble back a few steps. "Doesn't any one walk anywhere!" I yelled and looked up to see a panicked Chloe. "There's something wrong with Alex." She said then turned and ran back into her room. I walk backwards a few steps and look in at Willow who looking up not wondering what's going on. "I heard her" Willow said then looks back at Faith. Faith just nods looking up at me understandingly. I walk till I'm in the room. Alex is sitting on the floor holding her head. I take a few steps in and sit next to her. "She's talking all funny…I can't understand a word she says." Chloe explains and looks at me. "Alex" I said reaching out to her. "uoy raeh nac i ereh thgir gnittis m'I" she said and I sit back, "woah trippy" I state and Alex looks up at me rolling her eyes. Chloe reaches out for her and she backs away looking at us like were the ones who are acting funny. "Can you hear yourself?" I asked and Alex nodded 'no' then looked at me confused.
"What's going on?" Willow announced herself as she walked into the room. "I don't really no." I state looking up at her. Alex looks at most frustrated. "It's like she's speaking another language." I said as Willow kneeled between me and Chloe. Alex stood and walked to the other side of the room. "eniF m'I" Alex said then turned her back to us. "Ok" Willow tried easing her as she stood and walked towards her. Willow held her hands out cautiously. "cigam on oN" Alex said as she backed away from her. "I just want to see something." Willow said trying to comfort her. I looked at Chloe who sat there looking up at them worried. I rubbed her back once before standing. Chloe stood with me a just little more confident than before. Alex let Willow do what she needed.
"Well it's a low level spell." Willow said as she turned back towards us. "Is it going to get worse?" Chloe asked as she walked toward Alex and hugged her. Alex grunted and eased out of her arms looking annoyed. "I don't know." Willowsaid then walked in my direction. She cupped my cheek, this normally means she want me to pay attention her. "Stay here and watch her. I'm going to go get Buffy." She stated and look over her shoulder. Alex rolled her eyes and wined then went to sit on their desk in the corner. "Giles is here too." I said as she walked out. I walked over to the bed and sat down. "ynnuf gnikcuf toN" she said and I stifled a laugh. "You should really hear what you sound like." I said and looked over at Chloe and she looked at me as if to say don't egg her on. I was totally going to till Alex wanted to knock me out probably.
"Have you tried writing something?" I said and Alex lit up, and then turned on the desk grabbing one of her notebooks. It took her a second but she wrote something and turned back to us holding the notebook out like it was a present or something. I stood and walked over to her taking the notebook. I looked at it and had to stare, I had not the slightest idea of what she wrote. "What the…" I said without continuing. Chloe snatched it from me and starred at it hard for a second. Alex saw the looks of confusion in our eyes she grunted in frustration. So I guess that what's its going to have to be body expressions and grunting. "Who's the cave girl now?" I said taunting her a little as Buffy walked in with Giles following. Alex gave me a death glare then walked to the far wall away from everyone.
"I don't think she like to be examined like a lab rat." I said looking up at all of them. "What do you mean?" Buffy said as she look from me to the frustrated Alex standing in the corner of the room. I nodded towards Alex and she got my drift. "skcus tihs siht" Alex said and Buffy took a step backwards. "When did this start?" Buffy stated as she turned to Chloe. "As soon as she woke up. I could understand her at first then it just faded into this." She said as she looked at Alex. I know she wants to walk over and comfort her. Alex on the other hand feels so uncomfortable she isn't having it. "There nothing I can do. There's some kind of wall I can't get around." Willow stated and looked up at Buffy and Giles. "Well we don't want to go poking around without knowing more." Giles said and I could see the frustration with Alex growing as she started to pace.
"Well come downstairs where we all can watch you. A few other girls are coming over too" Buffy said as she held out her hand for Alex to come with her. IT took her a minute but Alex walked over to Buffy. We all walked down stairs and as Chloe went to walk past me I wrapped my arm over her shoulder. "We'll figure this out." I said in her ear as we followed them.
Down stairs I actually got into the conversation with all the scoobs. Faith walked in from the kitchen and sat down on the other end of the couch I'm sitting on. "Well if they could put up a wall there could be traps. You could set off a bomb." Faith said and sat up from the couch a little. "I know…I don't know too. It could be just there to keep everyone out. I wouldn't know unless I tried. I'm pretty sure I could get around it." Willow expressed looking over at Faith from the other couch. "I thought the last time we would see warlocks was in Sunnydale?" Buffy said as she walked into the living room and sat down on the floor in front of the TV. Now this seems before my time. "Yea well I think we should focus on these warlocks because I have a feeling they're doing low level magic to gain." Willow stated and we all looked at her to explain more.
"That would explain things. Epitah. They were probably in the middle of a summoning spell when you three were spying on them." Giles stated, "Which is why they wouldn't stop to follow you." Buffy retorted and we all looked in her direction. "Did you find anything on the word?" Buffy continued looking up at Nikki. "Yea but it's just a simple ending. Like live long and prosper type, its standard. Without knowing what they said we're not going to know what they were conjuring" Nikki answered and everyone was kind of quite. "pu meht kcuf og stel meht llik og stel os" Alex said and we all looked at her. Faith's eyes widened. Alex leaned to her side and grabbed a stake motioning stabbing. "I don't know, it just seems like to much of a risk sending you guys out there again." Buffy states and I sit up. Willow gives me a look warning me not to do anything but I couldn't help myself or this. I shook my head knowing this is probably going to back fire on me.
"Buffy, you can't not take us with on this one. What if you go out there and something happens to you. Then what? We're still here and no Buffy. So I think we should all go. We're a team right?" I ranted sitting forward looking at all the other miny scoobs for some help. I feel a little alone in this argument. I'm not sure how Rona feels about us doing so little fighting. I know Vi is a team player she always says that we should all stick together. So she's kind of on my side.
"She's got a point Buffy. You probably shouldn't go light handed." Xander finally speaks up, all the miny scoobs look up and I send him a silent thank you. "Ok…Xander. You and Willow and Nikki get back over to the cemetery and see if there anything else you can find. But get back before dark. I don't want you guys caught up in an ambush. Miny scoobs get ready to go out tonight I want to see most of you training. The rest wait for those three to get back and hit the books." Buffy ordered and I look over to Faith and she looking at Buffy smiling a little. "Ok people you heard the lady lets go." Faith said clapping her hands a couple of times. Everyone in the living room stood and got to whatever it is they were supposed to be doing.
I go to stand but Faith pulls me back on to the couch and look up to see Buffy walking in my direction. She sits on the coffee table, I go to stand and walk away again but Buffy grabs my arms and motions for me to sit back down. I do so. Buffy waits for everyone else to leave and I look around hoping willow had stuck around but she didn't. Buffy turns so she facing us. Here goes the part where I said this is probably going to back fire on me.
"Are you sure about this?" Buffy asks but I'm pretty sure this is one of those just nod questions that isn't rhetorical. "I just want you to be sure because fights like this I don't need someone who going to question my decisions." She said sitting up straighter. She's pulling the alpha slayer bit right now. I sit back trying to sink into the couch as much as I can. I read somewhere that dog roll over onto their backs and put their paws up. I was about two seconds from doing that if this goes sour from me just speaking my mind.
"Yea, I just don't think you should go out there alone. Ya know? Just in case." I said trying to sound sure of myself as possible. God we faced the first together you'd think she would trust us more. Treat us more than just a bunch of teenage girls. "B." Faith said and Buffy nodded I looked back and forth between the both of them but they were doing the whole reading minds by facial expression. "Ok well here's your chance to prove it" Buffy states and stands. I look at Faith and she just smiles evilly kinda. "It coulda been worse" she said and stands and follows Buffy. Shit.
Chloe- Few hours later
I turned to face Alex. Does she have to be so distant, I'm honestly trying to understand her but she's not helping much. Alex walks across the room and sits on the floor. "Baby please just like motion it or do something so I can understand." I said and confused when she just stares at me. "Alex, do you want me to go or not?" I stated and she still just stares at me. She has this blank look on her face as if she doesn't understand me. I slide to the floor and slowly crawl over to her. "Can you understand me?" I asked saying it as slowly as I could and she just sat there, then raise her eyebrows surprised. I went to touch her hand and pulled it back. This look of fear came over her face. Whats going on with her?
"How she doin?" I look up to see Faith standing at the door. I shake my head 'no' slowly. "I don't know, she's just…I think she's getting worse." I said as I looked at Faith hoping she would have an answer but she looked at Alex just as worried as I did. "Do you think she would want you to go?" Faith said and motioned over her shoulder. Faith must of heard part of our onsided conversation. Alex looked up like she understood and at Faith. "I don't know what to do Faith?" I said and I couldn't help but look at my clueless girlfriend. She said something stood and walked out of the room.
"Give me a minute ok" Faith stated as she stood. I stood behind her and walked out of the following them. I stopped at the top of the stairwell to see Alex walk off faith not to far behind. "Alex…wait" Faith called out but I don't think Alex stopped. "Ok so we're trying to help you." Faith called out as she caught up to her. Alex gave Faith the same blank reaction she gave me. Then Alex bit her lip. "You gotta give us somethin to go on here." Faith continued, Alex grunted and raised her hands. Then walked off. Faith looked at me then looked for alex and motioned for me to follow. Faith caught up with Alex at the garage door. I understood where Alex was going. She's frustrated so she wants to go riding. Alex stood in front of Faith trying to get her to move without hurting her. "NO" Faith said sternly.
Alex then reached for the door to push it open because the lock isn't all that good. Faith grabs the handle and shuts it. They glare at each other for a second then Alex give her a 'what the fuck' look. If it wasn't for their relationship I don't think Alex would be trying to challenge her right now. "She's wanting to go riding." I said as I walked up to them. "I know," Faith said looking back at Alex concerned. "What's going on in here?" Buffy said coming around the corner. "Alex is mad." I state and look at my confused girlfriend that just opened the door to the garage and went in there. Faith stumbles back holding her shin, "that little shit!" she cried. I ran past Faith into the garage. Alex is sitting on the bike before i can stop her. Doing the next best thing, I grab the handle and straddle the wheel. She not going to try and take off with me on it because she'll hurt me. At least I don't think she will.
Alex looks up at me with furrowed eyebrows. "It's not safe." I said trying to convey how serious this is. I wouldn't want to know what would happen if she was to be found like this by anyone. Human or supernatural. She sits back and motions for me to get off without touching me or the bike handles. I look back at Faith and Buffy for help. "Come on miny me…not right now." Faith tried as she walked over to her and stood next to her. I'm kinda of surprised Faith hasn't just went to knock her out. Alex points to Faith's stomach then shrugs her shoulder then points to her head making a crazy jester then a motorcycle jester. What in the hell was that? "She's trying to say there nothing wrong with her to the point that she can't ride. She's right I'd be going crazy too if I were her. She expecting me to understand." Faith stated and walked away. I stayed straddling the bike and Alex got off of it frustrated and walked back into the house.
I followed and watched as she walked past everyone storming back to our room upstairs. "Well are you going tonight?" Buffy asked and I walked past her. "I was trying to see if she didn't mind if I did. But it looks as if she doesn't care."I said bowing my head. Ken walks up to me, "Alex would want you to go. She wouldn't want you sitting here babysitting her." Ken stated and smiled I half expected her to say Alex told her I should go. "Right so leave the babysitting to Mrs. prego." Faith stated and walked off somewhere, she doesn't look to happy. "I'm so over being pregnant." Faith screamed from somewhere in the house. "…SENSATIVE!" Kennedy screamed trying to be funny. "Enough babe." Willow said and walked over to her. "Well it's getting late I bet there probably on their way out to the cemetery. They have to do the ritual at midnight. I doubt they have had time to change venues" Willow stated and turned toward the front door.
I looked up to see Buffy going though her box. She tosses me a small sword then starts handing out other weapons to the girls around her.
"All right so everyone got the game plan." Buffy asked, "Kill only if necessary" eve said. "Protect you're self or another slayer." Someone else said. "Capture one if you can." someone else said and I looked up. "What if they try and kill us." I said as took a step into the middle of the circle. "I doubt they will want to. If they do defend yourself, we don't even know if their demons or not. Warlocks is just what we assume. They could be everyday people." Buffy said as she looked at me then the rest of the girls. We all nodded, "Ok lets go" Buffy ordered as she looked down the hall and smiled at some one. "Be safe girls." Giles said as they all walked out. I looked up the stair to see Alex sitting there. She knew I was leaving so she waved a little. I smiled and waved back. I could have honestly used a hug just then.
As we pull up to the cemetery I looked around to see everything looks normal. Well for a cemetery at least. I grabbed my flashlight and got out with everyone else. I nodded I was so ready for this. Ken looked back at me as she love tapped my shoulder. She nodded along with me. "Ok come on its this way." Buffy directed as she walked into the cemetery in the direction we were walking last night.
It took a matter of minutes for us to get there. The same smell was coming from the same mausoleum. I can't believe they came back. Buffy crouched in front of all of us. "Ok you two stay out here just in case. Keep a look out." Buffy said looking at me and Vi. Vi rolled her eyes, I felt her anger because neither of us wanted to be left out of the action. Buffy gave Vi a stern look and Vi backed down a little. Then Buffy turns towards Willow. "Ok Go," she said and they all get up and run into the mausoleum.
I sit and watch and wait for anything to come out. I walked around to where the door is and I watch. I can't tell from here but all the girls are fighting. The men in robes are fighting with knives. Typical. Kennedy punches one of them and send him flying across the room. There something else in there too. Its big, "Vi, do you see that thing?" I ask as she looks inside and see's it too. Her eyes widen as she looks at me. The Huge ugly scaly looking demon is fighting Buffy. "eww" I state and looks as it grabs her by the throat and tosses her. Neither of us saw where, demon follows his thrown victim. Vi gets up to run in there but I grab her shirt. "We're the last line of defense." I said and she give me this look like let her go. "Two of them are down. This is it." Vi stated and I looked in again, when I do Ken run across stopping in front of someone then gets hit by some sort of light.
I looked up to see Willow follow one of the robbed men out of the mausoleum as Vi runs inside. He turns and hits Willow with that weird light. Willow takes steps back and them throws him across the cemetery without touching him. "Go help them." Willow states as she points back into the mausoleum. I get up and run in to see a Buffy fighting one of the men. Kennedy is on the floor dazed and three of them run out of the mausoleum behind me. The demon is in the corner with Vi whose now unconscious. I go to throw the sword and just as I let it go it turns on Buffy. My sword hit the wall just above Vi and stays there. Some kind of light goes though me and all I could feel is this jolt of electricity. I balled my fist and fall to my knees. I can't hardly move and It hurts god its hurts.
Looking up I see the tall scaly demon walk toward Buffy. "Buffy" I scream but its too late. As she turns there's this puff of smoke along with a bright light and the room fogs out. I hear footsteps leave the mausoleum. My body hurts and everything is a little hazy still. My throat hurts more then everything else. I sit up as the pain sort of numbs. I'm able flex my fingers. Then toes to make sure everything still functioning. As I stand I have to lean against the wall. I look around and all the rest of the girl are in the same sort of daze state also. I walk over to Vi who just sort of looks up at me confused at what just happened. Ken stumbles in our direction looking around. "Where's willow?" she asked as she rubbed her eyes and squinted for a second. "She was outside." I said pointing towards the door. Ken sort of gets the look of panic on her face and stumbles running out the door.
"Is everyone?" I ask and look around. Rona walks to the center, followed by Nikki and Eve. I look amongst them then turn to Vi and helped her stand. "What in the hell happened?" Rona asked, "They had help?" eve stated and looked around at us. We were all beaten others worst then most. I looked around at the group then looked around to everywhere else in the room as the dust cleared. No demon and none of his loyal warlocks stuck around. There was only a few broken lamps and cracked walls. "Where's Buffy?"
