CHAPTER 1
**************************************
Three young adults were in search of a secret coven of demonic monks, when they busted in on them during a summoning spell in the dark forested area in the outskirts of town. An attractive, somewhat short, green-eyed, dirty blond haired girl, who seemed to be the leader of the gang, quickly stepped forth and said, " Well, I hope you guys have a license to be performing a ceremony in a public place." As the monks surrounded the gang, the leader quickly commenced fighting with her nearest opponents. A girl with dyed reddish hair uttered some mystical words, which sent the monks that were running towards her, flying back by an unseen force. The only male in the group had his hands full as three foes surrounded him as started to beat him with their powerful arms. " Buffy! Willow!" he cried as he tried to fight back. The blond haired girl quickly went to his aide. She pulled off the monks and after delivering several heavy blows to them; she released them. " I have never been so happy to see you Buffy!" exclaimed the man as he hugged the girl. " Alright, alright. I get the point Xander." Buffy said as she pulled away from him, " we're still not finished here yet!" As the trio fought, a dark figure, who had secretly followed them, saw a lone monk finishing the incantation. A surreal portal suddenly opened, and beautiful girl emerged slowly yet unconscious. The man, being the only one not participating in the fiasco, saw the angelic-looking creature emerge and suddenly slump to the floor. Not knowing what was going on, nor caring to ask, he carried the girl to safety. " Bloody hell..." he grumbled to himself about the kind act that he is performing. Buffy questioned the last monk about what it was that they were doing. " The princess has been summoned, it is only a matter of time before...." He responded telepathically. " Before what? Huh? What princess?" she asked impatiently. Her questions were not answered however, for the monk had sustained serious injuries and had died. The gang was left with many unanswered questions. They had burst in on a seemingly extravagant ceremony, and it had appeared that the result of it had been somewhat accomplished. Willow had a feeling that they were not out of the woods yet. " I thought I saw Spike leaving, carrying something, or rather someone out of the place." Willow said. " Hey, you know what? He probably took one of the dying monks for a bite to eat." Xander commented, " that son of a gun..." " Are you sure you saw him here?" asked a somewhat surprised Buffy. " Well, if there is someone else with bleached hair, all dressed in black, and complaining about something in an English accent, well then it wasn't him." responded Willow. " Sheesh, I was only asking, no need to bite off my head!" responded Buffy. The gang left the premises somewhat hesitantly.
