We are in a research mode trying to find out, what they did to her. She already woke up but what she says doesn't make any sense. She talks English, but who does answer 'How are you' with 'It's so shiny'. And other stuff she says also make no sense.
I have gone through five books and still nothing on our demon. I can't stop thinking whether it was Treya behind the demon attack or if it's just an accident.
Everyone is nervous and itchy. Will is crying almost all the time, sitting next to Kennedy on the couch. We moved her from the hospital bed. Cause everyone wanted to know how she is but we needed to do the research.
She is able to move, it's her upper body that's hurt. Scars all over her face and she is crazy, but according to doctor, there is no brain damage, so it must be some spell or poison.
That's the reason for the books.
At first, we tried to translate the sentence they told us, but we can't even agree on how it sounded, so we gave up and try to find them by their look.
"I may found something."Dawn says for the sixth time today, but we hope no less.
"Show me," Buffy says and looks at the demon.
"That's him." We all look hopefully at them.
"I am not sure if I can translate it, Giles?"Dawn gives the book to him.
"It's Arvha demon, here it says that they have poison in their claws. If they cut someone, he will only see the inside of his mind within three days. Umm, that probably means something else. "
We stay quiet while he tries to translate the rest.
"There is a spell here to fix it, however there is a catch. Unfortunately, I can't translate it."
"Tell me the spell."Will says between sobs.
"You will need few supplies and it can only be performed by sunrise."
"That's in 15 minutes. We have to get ready."Will search for the supplies.
"There is a bird. Death bird, yet he is alive is it a vampire? Is it illusion?"Kennedy talks crazy.
Arvha demon, it sounds familiar. I feel like I read somewhere about it. I wonder where. I start looking through the books I read already, while Will comes back with all the supplies.
Aeran, no. Suphhara demon, no. Bentar demon, no. Arvha demon. I got it. Willow has already started the spell. Arvha demons , okay it says here… Oh my god…
"Will stop the spell now."I yell at her but it's too late. There is a blue light shining from Willow to Kennedy. Ken starts screaming from pain, all her scars start bleeding again and she shakes hard. She keeps screaming and then the light is gone. Plenty of new little scars show up on her body. She cries.
"What happened?"Giles asks. And everyone looks at me.
"Will, just killed her."Okay that sounded a lot worse than in my head. Everyone gasps.
"I mean the spell uses the strength from her body to heal the poison, unfortunately the process will kill her. So when she is finally sane again she will die. "I clarify.
"What are we gonna do?"Buffy asks, as Willow collapses on the floor. Buffy goes to her and hugs her, but Will only shrugs her off.
" I still have a lot to look through in this book, there is some legend about this spell. It may help us."
I continue reading and translating.
"Many years ago, young woman was born. She was a witch and she told her friend and family. They thought she was crazy and were very determined to cure her. They used many experimental medicines and treated her for so long she started to believe she is insane. At the end of her life, she met another wizard. He told her, she is not crazy and helped her to escape her family. Nevertheless, they found her and used one last 'cure' that killed her. Last moment of her life, she wished they would go through what she did. They would be crazy and then someone who supposes to love them would kill them. That's how she became the first Arvha demon ever."
"Can we cure her?"Buffy asks, still kneeling beside Willow trying to comfort her.
I ignore her question and keep reading.
"There is another spell here but it requires a lot of power." I think if Will uses this spell, she will turn evil.
"I can't do it."Will sobs as she came to the same conclusion.
"I'll do it," Treya says. No, you wouldn't. You will kill her, wouldn't you? You will pretend and then let her die. Angel looks at me she probably thinks same thing. I walk over to her and take her hand.
I stare at Treya as she takes the book, luckily there are no supplies needed so she can do it immediately. Or fake doing it.
She closes her eyes and I can feel the magic radiating from her. She really looks like she does the spell. She says the words and…
Nothing.
"Something is blocking me."Treya says. Something? You are blocking yourself. I knew you won't heal her. All of this it was your plan. I gotta get out of here and do the spell.
I take my jacket and start leaving.
"Where are you going?"Faith asks me.
Okay brain come up with something. Now. "Demon club, what else am I supposed to do? Something is blocking her. Well then I am gonna beat the crap out of demons until I find the one and kill him. Then Treya can finish the spell."I almost yell at her.
They look at me, then at Treya, then at me.
"We know who is doing this."Treya says. Oh no, tell me you don't know who I am and don't plan to turn this against me.
"What?"Angel asks her. Thank god for her to be sane enough to keep with the cover.
"A woman, Adria, she is doing this." Oh god, you don't know, do you?
"Who is she?"Angel keeps up.
"I am from the future and so is she. She wants to kill us all." I have to do the spell or else Ken will die.
"We don't have time for this" I say, "Ken is dying. Now that I know who I am looking for, it will be easier, but it changes nothing."
"She is right, we tell them later. I'll keep trying to break the spell," Treya agrees.
"I'll go with you." Faith says. No I need to be alone for the spell. Well not for the spell but I need to take of my necklace so I can really use all of my powers. And then I'll look like Adria.
I nod.
