*Note: The very beginning of this was from another site which you could enter your own part of the story to it... which is how this series began. I entered my part and then I kept adding more and it turned into this first episode! So section that starts with the with mine is labeled MINE :)
It's a cold winter's night and Buffy is on patrol as normal, wandering through the town. She looks up at a flickering street light and begins to think about Angel and how much she loves him. Suddenly, a gust of wind knocks her off her feet, throwing her into a pile of wet leaves. As she tries to get up she feels a cold chill running through her body as a dark shadow is cast over her. She looks up and sees .....
By Virus
The distorted face of one of the multitudes of vampires lurking around Sunnydale. As the creature snarled and tried to give Buffy a solid kick in the ribs. It's eyes flashed with surprise as she swiftly swung around, knocking it's feet out from under itself. The vamp fell to the wet pavement and Buffy quickly struck it in the back with good old Mr. Pointy. The cloud of dust settling on the black ground was all that was left of it. "Damn I got mud all over my new pants." Her head snapped forward with a quick snap as a filthy, grayed plank connected with the back of her head. It fades to black. By Becky
The creature behind her dropped the board, chuckling wetly to itself, and leaned over to sniff at the fallen Slayer. She was unconscious. Good. A glistening thread of hot drool oozed from its heavily fanged mouth, splattering against her cheek. She winced and opened her eyes groggily as two roughly furred hands clamped around her ankles and began to drag her off into the dark.

Buffy opened her eyes and was met with darkness, the kind of darkness even Angel would be afraid of. She tried to climb to her feet only to find her hands chained to the wall behind her and her feet chained to the floor. As quietly as possible she tried to strain the chains enough to snap them. The rough metal cut into her wrists and as the first drop of her blood fell to the floor a raspy voice whispered,"Slayers rein in blood.....". "Who are you?" She asked, her voice shaky, afraid of her unknown captor. "and so shall it end." he continued. By Ivy
She squinted into the darkness trying to make out the form of her captor. In the halflight she could just make out the silhouette of a figure hunched over a desk, for a split second she was reminded of Giles hunched over his books but such familiar memories faded quickly as she remembered where she was. Out of the darkness a cold draught carrying the smell of blood blew past her and then the figure spoke again.
By LittleThor
His voice was gruff, and raspy. "I need you slayer, soon we will have the ritual, but until then..." He threw in some bread and water.
Buffy looked up at him. "What, no blood in a goblet? I think your manners are lacking, didn't you go to Vamp school?"
He snarled and turned away. "Obviously not," she murmured and looked begrudgingly at the water and bread, for now it was all she was going to get, she might as well eat it.
Back at the library Giles sat filing some books back in the stacks. He heard someone entering the library, the squeaking of the doors. "Ahh, Buffy, was it good patr..." he walked out and stopped when he saw Angel standing there, looking slightly worried. "Angel, sorry, I thought you were Buffy." He walked down the stairs and rested the remaining books on the desk.
"Isn't she back yet?" Angel asked, a look of concern in his eyes. "She was supposed to meet me an hour ago, we're supposed to be at the cinema right now. I thought I'd show her that new thing that's on there," Giles looked over the rims of his glasses.
"A date? She was supposed to be helping me tonight," he sighed and both men raised their eyebrows. "But it is a bit worrying that she didn't come to see either one of us, well you." Giles went and picked up the telephone, leaving Angel round the other side of the desk. "Maybe she had another one of those 'tute' sessions with Willow. Hmm."
He knew that it sounded rather strange that Buffy would miss out on a session with him, well maybe not, but he didn't see her as one to miss a date with Angel at the pictures. "Yes, Willow, he said after explaining things to her. "No, no need to worry... yet. No, Willow she'll be fine, you know Buffy... Well yes you do know Buffy, Ok, you'd better come down here."
And shortly after that the entire scooby-gang arrived at the library. Willow sat on Oz's knee, whilst Xander kicked his legs up on the table. Angel and Giles remained standing.
Giles tapped Xander's feet, and he quickly took them off the table. "Well, it seems we might have a problem..." By Mazza The gang stared at him wondering what's going on "Well..." prodded Xander, Willow gave Giles a worried glance "It's Buffy isn't it?" Giles took off his glasses and started pacing around "Yes, I'm afraid so." "What is it this time?" Cordelia said impaitiently stepping into the library "I mean haven't we saved her butt one so many times already." Angel gave her a glare but let Xander do the talking "How many time has she saved your butt you ungrateful bratt!" this took Cordelia by surprised, she tried to cover up her hurt look but Xander knew her to well. "Buffy hasen't shown up, to check in or Angel's date." continued Giles, "Oh no!" gasped Willow, Oz gave her a hug to comfort her, Willow gave a small smile "We better go search for her." Angel nodded in agreement "Not again" moaned Cordelia, they all shot her a look.
Meanwhile in the empty damp cold lair, Buffy was still trying to get the chains off her wrist, blood stains were all over her brand new shirt that she was going to wear to the movies with Angel. The unknown figure gave a cruel laugh "You can never get those chains off, those were made for slayers." he gave another laugh, Buffy held the urge to break the chains, go up to the figure and slap him silly. She cursed loudly as the chains cut into her wrist again. The unknown figure suddenly stood up "It's time" he hisses, Buffy shuddered as she saw his eyes glow red, he started towards her. As the figure came into the light Buffy gave a gasp of shock and surprise......
*** THIS IS MINE \/ ***
Buffy breaks free of the chains, the only thing keeping her from kicking his butt. The figure with the glowing red eyes says, "What!! Those chains were meant to keep a slayer under control."
"Obviously you don't know that chains aren't meant for slayers. It just shows what a pathetic weakling you are football head." said Buffy. "What do you want? I know what I want. I want to kick your demon butt!"
"Oh really? You think that you truly have the strength and skill to beat me or what you say, kick my butt? Also I happen to like football." said the figure.
"Really. . . I don't think you'll like it when you're the football being kicked." said Buffy.
The fight began with a powerful kick from Buffy and some more comments on the side. Giles says, "Lets check the cemetary."
Angel says, "O.k. But I think I know where she might be. Come on we better move fast."
"Getting tired football brain?" said Buffy.
The door crashes open and Angel and the gang show up. Buffy and them surround the demon. Before they can make one more move the demon leaps over their heads and out the door. "So you've come to join the party. Giles, what kind of demon was that?" said Buffy.
"I think it was a Footoury demon. Lets go back to my place and serch for info on this demon."
"O.k. You guys do that while I go and find that demon. See where it hangs out." said Buffy.
"No. I'll come with you. I think it looks like a strong demon." said Angel.
"It coud barely touch me."
"Yeah, but I think it was holding back and there might be others." :Angel
"Fine. Angel come w/ me and Willow, Oz adn Xander help Giles find something on the Footoury demon. Let's go." said Buffy.
"So, Buffy since we didn't get to go to the movies tonight would you like to go tomorrow night?"
"If we get this demon. There's one thing I noticed in the demon before you all came crashing in. His eyes flashed a few times. I think I felt a presence of him in me." said Buffy.
Angel said, "I think this demon has the power to create illusions and he specializes in fighting slayers. I think he is like you in an opposite way --"
"Hah... No way! I'm not like the Footoury demon!"
"He hunts slayers. They are known for their great strength. They're as powerful as you. Thats why I wanted to come w/ you." said Angel
"What? You don't think I can handle that demon? Why didn't you tell Giles?"
"It's not that. I sensed he was holding something back. Maybe a specific power. He could barely make a puncture on you, but you could barely make a puncture on him. Maybe when his eyes flashed he was about to let out the power and then he flew out."
"Still, why didn't you tell Giles?" said Buffy.
"Because I don't know everything about the demon. I'm sure there's more to him. They would probably think that that info is all there is about the demon." Angel paused & said, "I just thought it would be better to tell you first."
"Lets go to Giles and tell him what we know." Said Buffy.
"I'm not so sure if you can kill the Footoury demon with a steak. I think that only kills it temperelally." said Angel.
"So, we've got to search for a way to kill him and to stay dead?"
"Yes. . . unless you want him to come after you again." said Angel.
"What if the flash of red in his eyes was the power? Maybe that unleashed an illusion thing on me. Maybe I'll start having illusions..!" said Buffy.
"Wow! Buffy, calm down. And if he released an illusion power on you, you'd probably just have illusions around the demon only. They'd probably be minor first unless he's controlling the illusions."
"Wait . . . so he could make me see or hear things where ever I am and even if I'm not near him."
"No Buffy. He'd have to appear infront of you, just near you."
"So he could appear infront of me and make it so I see whatever he wants me to see?" said Buffy.
"Yes." "If he gave you illusinations your going to have to be careful."
Buffy knocked on Giles door. Giles answered, "Buffy, Angel come in. Did you find the demon?"
"No, but I have to tell you about the Footoury demon. I didn't tell you right away because I wanted Buffy to know first since she was going patrolling for the demon." said Angel urgently.
"Go ahead." said Giles. Angel told them what he told Buffy.
"We're still looking for how to kill the demon other than using the stake and about its other powers. Now you guys can help us." said Giles.
"So, this demon is supposed to be a slayer hunter and has super strength?" said Willow.
"Yep... could be as strong as Angel." said Buffy.
"Don't want to be there when it's angry." said Xander.
"It'll be angry when it finds out it can't kill me." said Buffy. "Mr.Pointy's a little upset that he can't kill the deemon. Now, we have to find another way to kill him or we have to give him what he wants. . ."
"What he wants?" said Angel with his concerned face.
"To let him kill me except he'll die when I die. I won't let him live after I'm gone. I'll kill him at the same time as he kills me." everyone was silent.
Angel broke the silence saying, "Buffy you can't. The world needs you. I need you."still w/ his concerned face he said this softly.
"There's you." said Buffy.
"But Buffy we don't just need you as a slayer. we need you as the friend."said Willow.
"Chill. Don't start crying now. It's not going to get to the time when I need to give my life. THat's like a plan B. We are going to find a way to kill this demon."
"Buffy's right. We can't start crying now. We have some researching to do. The rampage begins." said Giles.
"I found it!" said Willow.
"You did?!" said Buffy.
"It says a witch has to do an anti-Footoury demon spell and be killed by the demon.." Willow read.
"well I guess we have to sacrifice me."
"No we don't Willow.. here it also says...oh.. to drain the blood of a slayers lover." said Buffy.
"Sacrifice me." said Angel.
"Or you can sacrifice me" willow.
"No, we'll give the demon my blood." said Angel
"NO!! No, we won't give him your blood or the life of Willow. I don't want any of you giving your lives to a demon."
"Buffy. Then what are you going to do, give your life? Angel here has lived the longest"
"Xander!" said Buffy.
"No he's right. I don't want you giving up your life for me. I've lived for more than 200 yrs. You've only lived 19 yrs. You have a life ahead of you." said Angel.
"I don't care what you say or what you want-- we're not giving the demon your blood. It's me he wants it's me he gets!" and Buffy went to the door and grabbed her jacket.
"where are you going?" said Angel.
"For a walk before I have kill myself and I'm going to tell my mom."
"She's not going to approve w/ this." said Giles.
"It's not her choice. See you later." and she left the house
"You can't let her do this."said Oz.
"I know I won't.." said Angel. "i'll make sure it's me to die. The way you drain my blood is the demon has to drink me. I'll let her think she's going."
"Buffy! your back. Told your mom?" said Oz.....
"Yeah.. I told her she had the choice to come to have a last look at me or to stay home hoping everything will be all right." said Buffy.
"what do you want?"said Xander.
"I want her to stay home and hope. I could sure use aprayer for tomorrow night."
Angel said, " What do you think she'll do?"
"I think she'll come. I'll find out tomorrow won't I," "I guess it's getting late I better go home.."
"Hey Buff.. you didn't come back her for nothin' Eat w/ us . Giles is cooking something. Aren't you GIles?" said Xander.
"Yes Stay fo dinner. At least let us have one last meal together." said Giles.
"O.K. Let me just call my mom and ask her to come over.
-- Mom. It's Buffy. Giles is cooking dinner for us. so why don't you come over?"
Joyce: I'll be right over.
"She's coming. So what ya makin'"
"I'm not sure yet." said Giles
"Buffy, before you sacrifice yourself can we have one last date? Say at the movies Graveyard?"
"Before lunch. Your finally ok with this? Angel?"
"Can't go against you - you might stake me hehe! I love you. Your my gal"
"I love you. Your my Manly Vampire."
"Hello Giles."
"hello Joyce"
"When I'm gone you can use my room as the do it room for the two of you K." said Buffy.
"It was just the candy!" said Joyce. Angel smiled.
"Let's umm.. eat now." said GIles.
"O,k." Buffy said in her perky voice.
"Buffy.. speaking for everyone We will miss you." said Giles.
"We will always love you after your gone.." said Willow.
"Oz and I'll visit you grave everyday."said Xander.
"Good to be loved. Doesn't the Footoury demon have trace of Vampire in him?" said Buffy.
"Yes" said Angel
"Maybe if he kills me he'll bite me and I'll be a lady Vamp and I can live w/ U 4 ever and we can go further then a kiss." everyone stared. "I'll just eat."
"I want you all to know I love you." said Buffy.
"Actually back to the demon biting U part. He won't. With a stake. he'll stake you below the heart." said Angel.
"Oh.....oh.. there's blood onmy plate!!!" said Buffy.
"What?" said Giles.
"The illusinations Buffy it's not real. TOuch it. It's not blood." said Angel.
"Oh....mmm I'm just going to go home. I'm done eating."
"Buffy. Want me to come with you? I can drive you." said Joyce.
"No..you finish eating.. I'll walk I need fresh air anyway. Bye." said Buffy.
"I"m coming." said Angel.
"I'll be ok!"
"Buffy I'm coming incase the demon apprears. I want to spend as much time as possible w/ you."
"Fine" said Buffy.
"See you tomorrow." said Angel.
"Bye." Buffy.
Buffy and Angel walked arround the park and to Buffy's house. They get to the door."Hihihi.." Buffy was crying very hard on Angels shoulder.
"I"m scared. Afraid of dieing. I don't want to."
"So let me die instead." said Angel.
"no.. I don't want you to die."
"Come on. Lets get you into bed. Put on your PJ's while I make some tea."
"Are you whering anything under that comforter?" said Angel.
"Yeah! I'm whering my silk red PJ dress. It's supposed to be worn on special occasions, but since after 2 night I won't get to where it. So I put it on" said Buffy.
"Here's your tea. " saod Angel
"Thanx. I love you." said Buffy.
"I love you too!" said Angel."I'm going to go now. Get some rest."
"Goodnight Angel."
"GOodnight Buffy."
Joyce comes home. Buffy puts a jacket over her pJ's, gathers clothes for the next day. "Mom, I'm going to Angels."
"Goodnight" said Joyce.
"Angel."
"Buffy. What are you doing? You'll catch cold."
"Who cares? I'm dieing tomorrow night anyway. I just wanted to be with you. Now let's go to bed together." Buffy is still in her pj's Angels in his BOXERS. Nothing but the BOXERS and an undershirt:) They're talking in bed.
"Were you lonely?"said Angel.
"A little. I was aching to see you. I wanted one last night in the same bed as you." said Buffy.
"We can't do what I think you have in mind.."
"Pleeeease.. what's the harm? It's just for one last night?" said Buffy
"You remember what happended the last time." Buffy made a face and out came." O,K." (You can picture the thing going on) An hour went by. Another hour went by. THen Buffy just cuddled close to Angel. Angel looked at Buffy as she fell asleep by his side. Angel said, "GOodnight" and kissed her on her forehead! The next morning:
**********
Angel's in a robe and making eggs, which of course can't eat. yesturdays dinner he just watched and drank blood* Buffy took a shower and came into the kitchen. With a smile Angel said,"Buffy, I made eggs and bacon for you.. Sleep well?" he smiled.
"Hehe.. yeah & thank you." said Buffy.
"For what? Breakfest?"said Angel
"Yes.." 1 hr past. IT's 10:00 a.m.
"Let's see a movie or go shopping." said Angel
"But how. it's daytime? You'll burn."
"The sewers." Angel.
"Oh yeah.. I should of guessed.. I'm ready when you are...."
THey went to the movies and went back to Angels place and lay next to each other. "Tonights the night. THe night I die! I love you. " said Buffy
"I love you very much. I'll mis you fore ever. I'll never forget you." said Angel. Tears came down both their cheeks.
THey lied down all day. NOw it's 6:00 p.m.
"It's time to meet Oz, Xander and Willow at Giles." Said Buffy gathering her weapons for the fight.
"Hi Giles."
"Hello Buffy, Angel"
"Buffy , your going to have to keep an eye out for illusions. They're strongest near the demon" said Angel.
"I won't fail. I won't let anything get in my way. Let's Go."
"Buffy, I'm still looking for the protecting spell." said Willow.
"Forget the protecting spell I don't have time. He's going to come ~4~ me. I don't want that. I want to come after him. Let's go now!" said Buffy.
Angel grabbed Buffffy and gave her a long kiss. And once more said," I love you!"
"Footoury demon(in the park)" Buffy started kicking and hitting him, then the illusion came.
"They are all demons. See. look a them. THey are demons and your vampire toy is evil. Kill them all." said the demon.
"I have to kill them." said Buffy in trance.
Angel ran up to her and shook her. Everyone ran up to her to hold her while Angel was heading towards the demon. "It's not your time to die."said Angel..
"BUt you said --!" said Buffy.
"Only someone who didn't love you would let you die. I love you. You can't die yet. I have to." said Angel.
4 feet from demon. Buffy tried to get free of her friends holding back. She knocked them down.
"Buffy!!" Willow shouted. Buffy ran nd jumped over Angel to be N front of him and kicked him back.
With tears she said,"I said I'd be the only one to die! Goodbye"
"Turn around!!" yelled Angel.
Buffy turned around and the demons stake went below her heart. Buffy quickly with alll her strength staked him in the heart and it vanished while she fell to the ground. Everyone was crying. They ran p to her. Angel picked her up. "She's lost a lot of blood! We have to get her to hospital now!"
THey ran to the hospital. "Someone help me!!"
Angel yelled..
DOCTOR: She need's a lot of blood. Even after she gets the blood, it will be a while before she wakes up.
"Buffy......"Angel sat alone by Buffy. He didn't leave her side. ~2 days went by.
Buffy opened her eyes and said , "Angel" in a weak voice.
"Buffy Your awake! Doctor says it will take time for your wound to heal." said Angel.
"My wound? Was it deep?'
"Yes.. you lost a lot of blood. You'll be o.k. though. just rest!"
"Have you been here all night?" said Buffy
"Buffy, I've been here for 2 days and nights. I couldn't leave your side. I wanted to be the first person you saw"
