Chapter 11:
In the old library, Wesley, Dawn, Spike, Xander and Angel poured there hearts into researching and finding this demon. I watched them huddle around the table with books and computers and realized that these people here would lie down and die for me if it meant saving the world or me. Also, that I would do exactly the same for anyone of them.
I was not a very good a researcher, this much I learned after all these years of doing my job, but I tried my very best to research and focus on the task at hand. I wanted to find this demon. I wanted this demon to be gone.
Eventually Xander who is equally as bad at researching took a break and went to settle a dispute between two slayers and come back an hour later with coffee and doughnuts from the kitchen. Xander went back into research, but I knew that he hated it but like I said he would do anything to protect me and I would do the same.
I did being to realized that I was more a bother then a help, when I got yelled at by both Dawn and Wesley for messing up there organizational system. So, I stopped researching and brought food in and decided not to touch the books anymore. I was helping more by not researching then researching. It was a little frustrating, that I couldn't help research, I wanted to find this demon more than anyone else besides Angel, who was fanatically looking for answers and became more impatient and worried as the hours passed. I assumed that because of his mental state he was just as bad at researching as I, but I don't think anyone wanted to tell him to stop becasue he would must likely yell at them and continue. Wesley and I both tried our best to help Angel clam down but it was no good, becasue Angel was to focused and to determined to let anyone calm him down or distract him.
Spike cracked jokes, trying to make the situation lighter but it didn't, if anything the atmosphere was getting more and more tense. So, he just stayed back and researched, he was a great friend. Now, he was someone i could totally depend on, in a time of need. who would have thought that he would turn out like this.
As, I sat there and watched my friends and family, I thought of names for a baby. I always like the name Charlotte for a girl it was just cute and strong, and I could call her Charlie. "A boy," I thought, "what would I name a boy?" Something strong and dignified, like his dad. I honestly couldn't think of one. I curled up in the chair with a blanket and typed on the computer baby names. I looked at a few but nothing really struck me as a name for my child.
Then I though Irish, Connor is an Irish name so maybe he would want an Irish name for his next child. I typed in 'Irish names,' I sifted through, I read names, Aidan, meaning little fire, that was kind of ironic because his dad was a vampire. Then I saw Declan, I thought that is cute. The more I thought about the name more I realized, what a bad choice it was. People would probably make fun of him and call him Ducky. I got grief for my name being Buffy and I don't really want my child to go through that, so that meant Shamus, was out to. So Aidan it was for a boy, maybe. Then what a bout a girl. I looked to see if Charlotte was Irish and it wasn't. I still liked. I looked again for Irish girl, I read Bridie and laughed, that was a funny name. Caeley, was cute and I liked that the spelling was different then the normal spelling of Kayley. I also liked Colleen, it was pretty soft but strong. Then there was a scream of "Yes!" I looked up and so did everyone else. It was Dawn.
Dawn had found a picture and a passage about a demon the matched the picture Angel drew (which are crazy good, they were almost photograph like) and what Angel described. Dawn read the passage out loud.
"The Abenbaster is a nocturnal Demon that comes out once every four months. There are many different legends all over the entire world that suggest that this demon is not native to one place but lives all over. It is generally lives in solidarity which the exception of when it mates and has children. The Abenbaster eats three children every time it comes out. Usually the child has some kind of supernatural heritage or trait."
I looked down at this demon's picture and chills ran up my spine. Before I knew what he did he didn't look to bad. Bald, spike horns running down his spine and long talons, he looked like nothing I hadn't dealt with before. I felt Angel's hand on my back, and I grabbed his other hand he need comfort as much as I did right know.
"Does it say how it can be killed or where to find it?" I ask, trying to keep my voice under control, I was freaking out. Dawn looked up at me with sad eyes and said, "I don't know, there is a passage below but it is in Latin and I don't know how to read Latin….Wesley?" She hand the book over to him. He stared at it for what seemed like hours but was only minutes. He looked up and started to speak, "It says that there are many legends and it goes on to explain a few and it started to talk about one in Germany, here more specifically in the black forest, um… Maybe if we went in to town and asked around we could get a location of a better version of the story?" He finished with hope in his voice which was both reassuring and annoying
. This wasn't working for me I need to find a location now and I could feel that Angel felt the same way but before I could say anything a Angel spoke, "Okay, I'll go in to town and ask around and…um then we can go to the place and the Buffy and I-" His rant was cut short but Wesley, "Angel it is ten o'clock at night by the time we get there it will be eleven and nobody is going to be available. Tomorrow we will go," he said gently, "why don't you and Buffy get some sleep and in the morning we can go. Okay?" Angel and I nodded and went up to my room reluctantly.
