Chapter 6: Unneeded Words
By: Hope
Doc walked into the dimly lit cavern with his glasses in his hands and a sweet yet sinister smile on his disguised face. It had been over 3 months sine he completed the ritual to use the key. He had thrown that pitiful vampire over the edge of the tower and completed the ritual in time when she had shown up.
"Dawn." Doc turned around, knife still in his hand and saw the slayer rush up to the ledge, never hesitating, never stopping to catch her breath.
"This will be interesting." He recalled himself saying. The slayer had paid no attention to him and just simply pushed him off the edge, as he had recently done with the vampire.
Although it was unlikely, he had survived the long fall and came-to only seconds after Buffy jumped into the portal. And even though he was very happy that the slayer had perished once and for all, but the ritual was a waste and the portal was closed.
"Hello?" Doc snapped out of his trance and realized that there was a demon waving his hand in front of his face, with a cigarette in his mouth.
Doc placed his glasses on his eyes and smiled as he offered out his hand for a hand shake. "Sorry sir, just thinking back on the good times." The demon ignored his offer and simply turned around and began pacing back and forth. "Well…might I say what a lovely place this is." Doc said, truly admiring the filthy, empty cavern. There were a few sacred writings on the walls and a T.V. set on the opposite end, with a bed and a chair near it.
"Thanks, I just redecorated." The two demons stood in silence, admiring the cold and evil look of the cave. "I hear that you have news on his whereabouts." The demon said while taking another puff of his cigarette.
"That depends…do you have anything that I might find important?" Doc asked. The demon that was smoking walked through the wall and came back a few seconds later with a brown suitcase in his hand. He set it down on the bed and opened it. Doc looked in and smiled, pleased. "He's at Cordelia Chase's apartment." He said as he quickly closed up the suit case and carried it out of the cavern under his arm.
He emerged onto the street and stepped into the drivers seat of his taxi cab. He closed the door behind him and opened up the suitcase greedily smiling at the contents. Located inside of the case was a mint condition Mickey Mantle baseball card, a signed baseball and a Hzeiklatcha Orb. "Very lovely…" He whispered, smiling to himself.
Sunydale----
Xander was pacing back and forth inside of the Magick Box, still waiting for Willow and Dawn to show up, Anya was sitting at the table bvy the cash register and was staring dreamily at a bridal magazine placed directly in front of her.
The knob of the door turns and Dawn and Willow walked inside, greeting a worried Xander and a sleepy Anya. "Any word?" Xander asked, still not sure what was completely going on. He could hardly understand Willow on the phone before but he knew that it wasn't just Buffy leaving to go get groceries or something the way that Willow had told it. The only thoughts registering in Xander's half asleep mind were: Buffy left Sunnydale. With her weapons. With Spike.
"She doesn't usually drive." Dawn said, eyeing an amulet on a bookshelf.
"Dawn's right." Willow joined in as Anya stood up and walked over to them. "Buffy would walk anywhere that she could, unless she was going somewhere fa…"
"Angel." Anya said, happy that she had thought of something that might help. Everyone stared at her for a few moments, not knowing what she meant. "She probably went to visit Angel." She said, trying to clue them in. "Unrequanted love, it's a beautiful thing…" Anya's voice drifted off as she went back to day dreaming of the perfect wedding.
"Actually…" Dawn said, catching everyone but Anya's attention and gaze. "I think that I heard her say something about Angel, when she was walking out of her room I mean." Dawn said.
"ok!" Xander replied immediately. "Then will, call Angel, see if he's there and if not call Cordelia, Westley, and anyone else that he knows in L.a. but try the hotel first, if he's alright then that's probably where he'll be." Xander took a breath. "Wow, I just thought all of that up by myself! And in less than a day!!" Xander said, trying to releave some of the pressure but also because he was proud of himself.
Anya squeezed his arm and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Goo Xander!" She said happily as Willow and Dawn just stared at them…
