Chapter 38: Again??
Buffy slept snuggled up next to Spike not realizing that even though it was daylight, there was danger lurking.
Buffy had to go to the bathroom and she wandered into the bathroom and closed the door to do some thinking about all they had learned from Giles.
Suddenly out of no where a demon bounded into the room and knocked her over the head before she could even make a noise.
The demon then snuck out of the room leaving Spike to sleep through the whole ordeal and proudly taking Buffy back to the factory.

Angelus cackled and Dru moaned saying she wanted her dark princess, not the sunshine but Angelus ignored her happy to have Buffy in his clutches.
He knew it was only a matter of time before eventually Spike would find his girl but since she was unconscious the claim wouldn't work therefore her had time.
He told the demon to chain her to the wall and then gave the demon the money he had promised.
It didn't matter he had stolen the money from a demon of the same kind the night before that he had killed.
The demon took the money and disappeared into the daylight.
Dru started to wail about her dark prince never returning to her and how she wanted to have tea parties with Mrs. Edith and Spike soon.
Angelus was just about enough of Dru and was about to do her some damage when he thought about a different approach, "Dru dear, why don't go to check on Jesse. See if he needs anything before he awakens in a few hours. Make sure he has fresh blood, a fresh kill and is dressed to go out so that he can go right out and feed when he wakes at sunset. Now be a good little girl for daddy and go."
Dru giggled happily remembering her new toy and took her doll and went to check on Jesse as asked.
That left Darla, and Angelus with Buffy as well as a wizard. The wizard was chanting but Buffy was still out cold.
Darla whispered to Angelus, "Will this really work so the claim will not be able to be used?"
Angelus grinned and nodded, "It might even break the bond."
Darla grinned, "Really? I thought claims were unbreakable?"
Angelus nodded and said, "They are but not all the parts of a claim are unbreakable. If I dual claim her as I turn her, She'll be mine. I'll have a Sire powers over the girl. Any desire she has for Spike will be over powered by her desire for me. Then we get to watch Spike suffer."
Angelus cackled and Darla grinned liking the plot to turn the slayer a lot more than the plot to end the world but she knew that he was actually planning to do both.
He would firstt turn the slayer, then end the world.
She wasn't fond of the idea of hell on earth but she figured food would still be a readily source and people could be tortured so she went along with the idea.
So she asked, "How long before the charm is done and how long before Buffy wakes up?"
Angelus shrugged and said, "When she wakes up we will turn her."
With that Darla went back to her pet, Riley and Angelus went back to read some passages on how to open the stone demon. He knew the time would be soon.

He wasn't too concerned until he tried to find her with his claim and couldn't sense her.
He figured that she had fall asleep somewhere and went into the bathroom but again she was not there.
He roared and both Doyle and Dalton entered the room in serious concern.
Spike roared again and demanded, "Did you see anyone take Buffy? Did you see anything tonight?"
Both minions shook their heads and Spike could sense from both of them that they were telling the truth and would have told their master if they had seen anything.
Spike growled and noticed it was sunlight.
He was pissed off. Someone had taken Buffy. Or did Buffy wander off?
Spike decided to run and check her house in case she just went back there to find something and fell asleep.
He threw two blankets towards his minions and grabbed his leather coat and demanded, "Follow me."
They didn't even question his determination to walk in the sunlight only covered by a jacket.
When they got to Buffy's house, they realized it was still indeed empty.
Spike wandered through the house not even noticing the windows weren't pulled as they always were when he entered and he wasn't yet in flames. He was so upset he didn't even think about such things.
He checked the whole house but then noticed his spike started to hum.
He knew somewhere Buffy was awake, but the claim wasn't working.
He roared really upset and went outside again grabbing his jacket and they took off to the factory where he knew Angelus, Darla and Dru were staying.
He wasn't sure it was them who had taken Buffy but finding a bunch of wankers from the council would take longer than to find the vampires.
Wherever Buffy was, she was not answering the claim. That scared him.
Say they already turned the slayer. Did that charm keep her as safe as it was supposed to?
The charm started to hum leading him to where his Buffy was which was in the direction of the old factory outside of town.
