Chapter 1
One girl, three guys; good odds for the girl. (This will be easy. I thought I'd surely see more action tonight.) She ducked and thrust her fist forward into the stomach of the vampire who just attacked. After standing up and sparring a bit more she dusted him and a second before noticing that Number 3 was missing.
"Now where did he go? There's no way I'm letting that one get away." She looked around and listened carefully but neither saw nor heard anything. When she turned to look behind her the vampire was charging straight at her. "Wow," she managed to yell before jumping up to go over his head.
When she would have normally landed, Buffy found the she was hovering about 4 feet about the ground. "What the-" she was cut short when whatever happened ended and she crashed to the ground with a grunt. "I so don't have time for this now." Seeing the vampire preparing to attack again, she picked the stake back up and stood up. "Buh-bye."
She threw the stake and hit target right in the vamp's chest. As he turned to dust Buffy turned and headed home. (Did I imagine that, or was I really floating? I'll ask Willow about it when I get home, or maybe it would be better to talk to Tara. Why do these things have to be so complicated?)
At the same time that Buffy was fighting and ended up floating above the ground, something happened to Tara and Willow as well. The two girls were taking a late night walk and a demon shimmered into the sidewalk right in front of them.
"What is that thing!?" Tara screamed, running backward to get away. Before Willow could even try to answer, however, an energy ball appeared and shot toward her. Just before it would have hit her, something mystical happened. White lights swirled around her and she vanished. The energy ball went straight through and hit the lamp behind her. The lights returned and Willow reappeared.
"Willow, watch out!" Tara cried, throwing her hands out in front of her. When she heard Willow crying her name to look up she saw another stranger occurrence had happened. The demon wasn't moving. Tara looked all around and when she looked at the lamp, she noticed that all the moths that began flying away had also stopped. It was almost as if time had stopped. "Willow, lets get back to the house. Something happened and we need to find out what. I thought you had gotten back into magic but I don't think it's just you."
The two girls broke into a run back to the house they shared once again with Buffy and Dawn. When they got there Buffy was already there, but what they saw was very unexpected. Buffy was looking down at them and Dawn from four feet off the floor.
"We need to talk." Buffy said, half seriously, half scared to death.
"Uh-huh," was all the Tara and Willow could say.
