THE HELLMOUTH REDEEMED – Chapter 3


The Light one's hands had now been cut down to their bone but he refused to give up. He rammed a knee into the Dark one's groin who yelped in pain and crouched down defending it after scrambling off before another attack. Still stunned the Dark one started to take the white one's kicks to his side. The Light one plummeted kicks to the Dark one's side and with an extra successful kick knocked the Dark one's sword from his had. In quick hesitation the Light one scrambled slightly back to retrieve his but rose to the blade of the Dark one who nodded his head in disappointment.

The group watched as the candles on the five points of the wiccan star flared and the pendulum started to rock.

A destination A time unknown Show us where to be The Master's throne

It may not sound too good but it was all Tera and Willow could whip up at the last second, and did it really matter as long as the spell worked? The couple continued to chant and locked hands together.

A destination A time unknown Show us where to be The Master's throne

The pendulum rocked and pulled down to the area outside Buffy's house. It took three seconds for them to react. A wide eyed Buffy asked "Why my house?"

"Because," chuckled the familiar voice of the bleached vampire. "You killed him ... twice"

"Spike we don't have time for this" ordered the Slayer.

"Hey, I'm offended. I walk in on my old friends, the Slayeretts and you immediately think I'm here to cause harm"

"You usually are"

Spike turned to Xander and pointed a finger at him "You, better watch it or you won't know what's coming " he threatened. "I'm here to help"

"Here to help?" The read-headed witch queried.

"See, right now, as far as Sunnydale vamps go, I'm top dog" Xander sniggered, top dog vampire, hanging out with the Slayer and Spike snarled but continued. "If the Master comes along I'll be knocked off my throne and likely to pay for helping you every now and then" he spat .

Giles gave him a disgusted look but the vampire just shrugged it off. "And exactly what are you going to do?" Buffy asked.

"Help of course" he said rubbing his hands together "I want to kick some serious butt!"

"Ok we're going to need all the help we can get"

"Even if it is a vampire" Giles dictated.
