Buffy dialled the phone number, figuring that is where Giles would be at
this time. With the tears still streaming down her face, she waited for
Giles to pick up the phone. Three dials had gone and Buffy was about to
give up on anyone answering when someone answered. It was a familiar voice
to her - but not the voice she was expecting. But she didn't really mind.
"Hello, Sunnydale Library" said the voice.
"Err Xander, can you please put Giles on the phone. I need to talk to him." Buffy replied softly and in an obvious saddened voice by something.
"Is everything alright Buffy?" said Xander Harris, a loyal friend who has always stuck by Buffy.
"Just put Giles on please." Buffy didn't mean to be so abrupt with Xander but she was in such distress all she wanted to do was to find her Mother and get her back safely.
"Erm, yes of course Buffy, I'll just go get him." Xander said, who was obviously taken aback a little. After a few seconds there was the voice that she did want.
"Hello Buffy. What is the problem? I hope its nothing too serio-" her Watcher got cut off by Buffy
"Giles, its my mother. She has been taken" Buffy replied, obviously shaken.
"By whom? Can you describe the demon? Do you know where it has taken her? queried Giles
"Giles stop. Too many questions. I'm coming into the library." Then Buffy hung up. She put her head in her hands and wept for a couple of minutes. Then she wiped away her tears and headed towards the library. She had not thought that she would be returning to Sunnydale High so soon after leaving in the evening.
Sat on the library table was Buffys best friend, redhead Willow Rosenberg. Ever since Buffys brief phone-call to inform Giles on what was happening, Willow has not been able to rest. She jumped off the table and onto her feet. "Oh God, Oh God" Willow muttered. Joyce was not just Buffys mother; she was a friend to the Scooby Gang and meant an awful lot to Willow. She glanced the library to see what everyone else was up to. Xander was pacing around the library, obviously as frightened about Joyce as she was. Giles was, as he usually is, researching. He had his head stuck in a big, dusty book, probably about demons that can vanish into separate dimensions. I guess it was his way to show that he was helping Buffy. Even though things were a bit awkward after they were all turned into crazy children after eating candy, Giles still obviously cared greatly about Joyce. Willow hated this, with everyone so upset; she just wished she could do something that really helps. Then the library doors slammed open and then stepped in a teary-eyed Buffy. Willow ran towards her and hugged her.
"I'm so sorry Buffy," said a now very upset Willow; Tears began to dribble down her cheeks. She grabbed onto Buffy tighter and gave her a bigger hug. She wanted Buffy to know she was always there for her.
Buffy let go of Willow and asked her, "Where's Giles?"
"In his office, he's doing research but I think he needs more details." Willow replied.
"Thanks," Buffy made her way past Willow and into Giles office. It was just how it always has been, with his big, old, dusty books about vampire, demons and all things supernatural, just the opposite of any other schools librarians' office. Buffy nearly managed a smile but instead, after getting Giles attention, began to fill Giles in on all the happenings of the terrible incident.
"Oh my, Buffy. I am so sorry that you had to see that. You should never have to go through that." Giles said and Buffy knew that he really meant that, and that made Buffy happy and realise just how lucky she was to have such a good Watcher. After Buffy described the demon to Giles, he had recognized it instantly and immediately got out a book and started flicking through the pages and then found the demon. "The 'Revel' demon is a one single type demon that thrives on women. When the Revel spots a woman he wants, he never gives up until he has her. Once he has her and has tasted her blood, he transports her to a separate dimension where she is made a Queen. Every time a Queen is made, a new Revel is formed and the Queen is killed. The process takes two days for full completion." What Giles said scared her but meant she only had two days to save her Mom. And she would.
