Chapter 4
The next day, Anya was watching the magic shop while Giles went to go talk to Spike about the demons. They were both in Spike's crypt. Giles was showing him some demons in one of his books, so he could identify the right one. After a while, Spike saw what he was looking for.
"That's the one. I would know that scar-face anywhere." Giles looked at the demon that Spike chose.
"Oh, dear!" Giles exclaimed.
"I hate it when you say that, what kind of demon is it?" Spike asked. Giles looked at him.
"This would be a Lochnah demon. They're very strong and powerful." Giles told him. Spike nodded.
"Yeah, I noticed, but what did it do to Buffy?" Spike asked, annoyed.
"They have lived for a very long time, it says that they have the power to turn good into evil, they can literally steal the soul of anyone good and change them into an evil soulless demon, like themselves." Spike stood up.
"Buffy." Spike said, almost a whisper. "That demon did something to her, does that mean she will actually become one of them, because that wouldn't be a pretty picture." Giles shook his head.
"Not exactly, I don't believe Buffy will actually turn into one of the demons, I think she will only change from the inside, she would become pure evil that it would be as if she was one of the demons, but I don't believe she would look like one. I hope anyway, the last thing we need is a demonic Slayer, she would be unstoppable." Spike nodded.
"Couldn't agree with you more, Rupert. So, how do we get the Slayer back?" He asked.
"It says that the only way to kill one of these demons is decapitation, I tell you, they are not very original these days, but yes besides the point, anyway, I believe decapitating the leader would turn Buffy back to normal, the other demons would just be for the hell of it." Giles said, and then looked at Spike. "I suppose you should be the one to do it, I somehow don't think Buffy would." Spike smiled.
"With pleasure, I just have to find them, shouldn't be too hard." He said. Back at the magic shop, Buffy was in the back going through Giles' weapons. She saw a big knife and picked it up.
"Score!" She claimed. "This will come in handy." She walked to the front of the store with the knife in her hand when Anya stopped her.
"Hey, what do you need that for?" Buffy looked at Anya with hard eyes.
"Well, aren't we a little nosy, I need it for anyone that gets in my way, or just anyone that tends to annoy me, kind of like you are right now." Buffy told her.
"Oh, I get it, that's a joke; it's not really funny though." Buffy just glared at her.
"It's not supposed to be." She said her voice sinister and deep. Anya took a step back.
"Um, Buffy, are you feeling okay? I mean, you are kidding right. You wouldn't really kill a human." Buffy gave her a wicked smirk.
"You know what, I just might. I mean, don't you feel that way at times. You were this powerful vengeance demon and now you're nothing, just another pathetic human. If I was you, I would have snapped a long time ago, but I guess you just don't have it in you, well catch you later." With that she started to leave the magic shop when Anya grabbed her arm.
"Wait!" She said. Buffy just shook her arm free of Anya's grasp and glared at her.
"You must have a death wish." Anya didn't know what was wrong with the Slayer, but she was really starting to scare her.
"You can't leave." Buffy rolled her eyes.
"Watch me!" She told her.
"Buffy, I don't know what's wrong with you, but Giles said that if you showed up that I had to keep you here, he wanted to talk to you about something." Buffy rolled her eyes again.
"I don't have time to wait for the old guy. I have places to be and you are really starting to bug me, but I know a way to shut you up." With that Buffy punched Anya in the face and she fell, unconscious. Dawn just walked in and saw the whole thing, she ran to Anya's side.
"Buffy, you knocked her out, what's wrong with you?" Dawn stated, upset. Buffy just smiled at the younger girl.
"Something evil, don't wait up." With that she left the magic shop.
