Chapter 10

Spike and Xander had returned with food for the humans and more blood for the vampires, and still no one had seen or heard Buffy or Willow. Angel had forsaken his brooding for pacing alongside the fire.

"Will you sit down before you wear a hole in the carpet" Gunn said although it was taking all his will power not to join Angel, he didn't like sitting down doing nothing when someone he cared about was in pain.

"If you put a hole in my carpet be prepared to pay for replacing it." In unison everyone turned his or her head in the direction of the voice.

There in the doorway stood an extremely tense Buffy and a nervous looking Willow, everyone tried rushing towards them but Buffy motioned for them to remain seated. Slowly they entered the room, mindful that all eyes were watching them. Willow sat next to OZ and almost immediately they joined hands giving each other strength and support.

Buffy went and sat next to Angel while they sat close they didn't sit close enough for their friends to start asking questions, Buffy saw Gunn glare at Angel she threw him a confused glance before dismissing it out of her mind.

"Where to begin" Buffy muttered to herself.

"How bout at the beginning" Xander said lightly, Buffy had stopped being so hard on the joking man when she understood that it was his way of dealing with his life choice.

"Not all of you are aware of this cuz it doesn't actually happen a lot but when Willow gets extremely upset or needs to use a lot of power her eyes tend to turn black. That in it self isn't a problem but the minute you see her hair turning darker, get the hell away from her and find either Oz or myself, if you don't she might just kill you before doing some really bad things." Everyone turned their heads to the redhead who just hung her head in shame as she recalled all the bad things she had done with her magic in the past.

"Um mind explaining that Red" Faith asked trying not to upset her friend by changing the way she acted just because Willow had done some things that wouldn't be considered good, but hey they all had things they regretted right.

"A Wicca's power and control come mainly from her emotions, normally most spells require the spell caster has to be calm and in control, but if she or he let a single emotion take control like anger or grief then they become consumed by it and all control is lost." Willow had come to grips they she had a darkness inside of her that she couldn't ever get rid of so she used it now to good to hopefully balance out some of the evil she had done.

"Five years ago Amy sensed a strong force inside Willow and did anything she could to release it, and she succeeded" Oz said continuing. "What Amy didn't count on was Buffy and I to come along and fight Willow" Everyone gasped at that shocked at the fought of them fighting each other.

"We didn't have a choice by the time we had found Willow, she was well unrecognisable, she wouldn't listen to anything we were saying, and Amy just stood there repeating about how we were jealous and wanted to take her power from her." Buffy said in a tired voice as she recalled the bloody battle in vivid detail, discreetly Angel grasped her hand and rubbed his thumb over the back of it, they didn't see the look shared between Faith and Willow.

"By that time I was so addicted to my powers and magic I couldn't form a coherent form, and didn't fully realize what I was doing, Amy thought she was in control until I started to slowly tire out, so I got the closest power I could reach which was both Buffy and Amy. I sucked Amy dry almost killing her but Oz managed to get Buffy far enough away from me to leave her conscious."

"It was Buffy's positive energy that finally made Willow stop long enough for me to talk some sense into her, after that she just kinda lost it she started screaming and convulsing, energy was everywhere and I realized that she was getting rid of all the excess magic, the building we were in started to collapse and I just managed to get both girls out of their alive." Once Oz was finished a silence entered the room before Spike asked the one question that had been bugging him.

"So what happened to this Amy chick, Faith said you guys didn't think she was a problem anymore?"

"We didn't think she was, for all we knew she had died when the building collapsed I guess she somehow got out" Buffy said after thinking about it for a while.

"Actually I think she had some help, when I sensed her power, there was something off about it, I don't think she's your average witch anymore" Willow commented.

"What is that suppose to mean?" Gunn asked

"She's a vampire and I think I know who would be twisted enough to change her" Buffy's voice started to get sharper and everyone caught on to her thought.

"So Dawn sired her and now Amy is protecting her" Angel summarized for everyone.

"No she was protecting her, Willow got the location of where they are hiding in two nights we attack, take no prisoners, and Dawn is mine" Everybody unintentionally shivered at Buffy's tone, no one had heard her be that cold and unforgiving and everyone was equally grateful that they weren't the one on the receiving end of her anger.

Meanwhile underneath the local college

"Sir our inside informant has reported in" Agent Forest said standing in front of his commanding officer, Riley Finn was a hard but fair man and was respected and honoured among his men. He resolutely believed that eventually this false treaty will be broken and all vampires will turn on the humans.

"Well, what's the news" Finn ordered not looking up from his papers.

"There is going to be a battle, apparently between the two Summers vampires. The order is take no prisoners" Finn had stopped writing a report and looked up thoughtfully.

"Do we have a location?"

"Not yet sir" Forest grew slightly nervous at the almost insane grin on Riley's face.

"Prepare the troops once we have the location dispatch a team to secure the area then we will destroy all of them at once."

"Sir it is also believed that Prince Angel is with the group and is going to help in the battle"

"I want him alive, we can use him to get to King Giles, and once we have him we will kill them both" Riley then dismissed Forest standing up he went to close his door. For the first time he could see the end of all vampires and he only whished his mentor Professor Walsh was here to see it.
