The Bargain Chapter 4
D'Hoffryn's Trap
Disclaimer: I own no rights to Buffy, I'm just a simple storyteller.
D'Hoffryn had a sudden inspiration as he followed Kendra and Spike down the highway. "Okay, the Slayer is impervious to death, but there must be another way."
For fun, he suddenly bewitched the radio in the Winnebago. A soft rock radio station came on. Kendra tried to turn it off, however the radio was stuck on.
"I bloody hate this song." Spike commented.
"Me too." Kendra added.
Spike kept driving on, occasionally glancing at Kendra.
"I must say, you're not so bad looking."
"Is that a vampire compliment?"
"I dunno."
D'Hoffryn decided that it was time to put a plan into effect. He used a simple love spell which hit Spike, then it hit Kendra.
Kendra sat back, listening to the radio and sighed.
"I'm sorry about that crack." She said.
"All right, there, Luv." He reached over and squeezed her hand.
Just then, D'Hoffryn changed his voice and came through on the radio.
"Tonight we're giving a special shout-out to all young lovers out there. Gentlemen, best way to spend the night is to take your ladies out for a special night."
"Some special night." Spike commented, finally able to shut off the radio.
"True." Kendra replied, looking at her hands.
D'Hoffryn sent a stronger love spell that hit Kendra. The love spell this time was almost like Cupid's arrow.
"We have three days." Kendra said, softly.
"What?"
"Come on, Spike. We have three days." Kendra said. "And I've never noticed how cute you've become. And I havn't had anything good to eat since I came back."
"All right, we'll stop for the night off." Spike said, not entirely too angry at the thought.
D'Hoffryn stood behind them, floating over the road. He chuckled evilly, "My plan is coming through."
Back in Sunnydale, things weren't looking too great.
"Have you tried that brown text over there?" Lucy pointed out to Willow.
"That's all love spells." Willow said, glancing at Tara.
"It's mine." Tara admitted, straightening out her red nightshirt.
"I don't know what to do." Willow told Lucy. "I can't find anything to counteract a demon's magic."
Over the process of two hours, Willow and Tara had managed to cover Joyce's old room with many books on spells.
"Sweetie, what about this little book." Tara piped up, realizing she'd been sitting on a little black book.
"That's more dark-ish, but let's give it a try." Willow sat beside Tara, flipping through the pages.
"Try infernal contracts." Lucy suggested. "That seems to be what D'Hoffryn specializes in."
Suddenly Tara squealed. "I found something." She pointed to a picture of a triangle that shone many colors.
"Where?" Lucy floated over.
"Here." Tara read, "The infernal contract can be broken with a device called an Auros. It keeps the demon from taking his victim."
"The Auros is a very old and rare artifact." Lucy stated. "Where can we find it?"
"The magic box." Willow said. "If it's not there, Giles could tell us where to find one."
"The magic box is closed now, we'll have to go tomorrow." Tara reminded her.
"Okay." Willow stated.
"Tomorrow then, I must find Kendra and tell her the news." Lucy faded out.
The next morning, after sunrise, Kendra was walking around a shopping mall that was located near the hotel where Spike was currently resting. Probably watching Passions. Kendra thought.
Just as she was about to enter the bookstore, a sudden movement from somebody struck her eye.
"Who's there?" She called.
D'Hoffryn stepped out of the shadows.
"Oh, hello." Kendra said.
"How are you faring?" D'Hoffryn asked innocently.
"Very well."
"You havn't made much progress since last night."
Kendra smiled, thinking of how nice Spike had been to her during their date the night before.
"We're doing very well."
"Really? Because it seems that you're falling behind."
"I'll be in Maine by tomorrow morning."
"What if we gave you another challenge, Kendra?" D'Hoffryn sneered. "I know why you're talking to me like that, you've been talking to Lucy Hannover."
"Yes."
D'Hoffryn laughed. "Well, let's give you one more." He waved his hands and a far off rumble was heard. "Now you have to find another path to Maine, the highway you've been traveling on had just broken down."
As D'Hoffryn vanished, he said "Cheers."
Kendra stood there, wondering how she was going to finish her mission.
