"Can you believe him?" Buffy ranted with anger.
"Well, you did say he was a pig etc and so forth" Willow muttered
sympathetically.
"And the fact that you ripped out his heart and ground it into the dust
with your heel, mean nothing to him?" Xander added. Buffy sighed.
Suddenly, the windows and door was shattered open, littering the trio with
shards of glass and wood. A black robe clad vampire stepped in. Her eyes
were black and her flaming red hair was being whipped around by a fierce
unseen wind. The dark sorceress lowered her arms the wind settling. Her
hair floated down gently until it framed her face in graceful waves. The
sorceress glanced around at the damage she created as if it bored her. She
scuffed a few shinny shards of glass with her toe, an aloof expression
covering her face.
"That's it? No protection spells, no magical barriers! I expected better of
you Slayer" she sneered. Willow pulled herself to her feet preparing to
fight this dark sorceress. With a wave of the sorceress hand, Willow was
surrounded by a bubble of black liquid. Willow pounded her fists against
the magic but to no avail. At that moment, Buffy attacked the sorceress.
She was blocked by someone in a large black cloak. She hit the shelf behind
her and fell to the ground.
"Who are you?" Xander whispered in awe.
"Releena, dark sorceress" the female vampire introduced admiring her nails
absently. "That's Nightblade. He's an assassin" she added with a wave of a
hand at the shadow clad vampire who stood over Buffy. He placed a booted
foot on the Slayers back, keeping her down.
"That was too easy!" Releena sneered waving her hand in Xander's direction.
The bookcase behind came crashing down on top of his head.
"Gather the kid and the Slayer, tie them up, and leave the witch to me"
Releena commanded Nightblade, turning to face Willow trapped in the magical
bubble. Willow stepped back as the black liquid melted forming a hole which
Releena stepped through. The two red heads faced each other; witch to
sorceress and enemy to enemy. Releena's dark forest green eyes met Willow's
cold starring ones. Releena took a deep breath as if what she was going to
say next was hard for her.
"I need your help" Releena sighed running her hand through her long red
hair.
"No, don't look" She whispered fiercely. Anger and dread had filled her silvery eyes. Spike ignored her warning as he turned slowly to see what stood behind him. It was a solitary female vampire clad in a short leather skirt and her dark brown hair riddled with streaks of blue. A part of her hair was pulled back in a crown braid and the rest flowed over her shoulders. An odd snake-dragon tattoo was supported on her collarbone. As if on cue, Kerl stepped up behind Shade, followed by a short looking barbarian. A double bladed battle axe was clutched tightly in the hand of the short reddish-brown barbarian. Kerl stepped forward running his palm over the sword at his side. Shade held her ground, her silver eyes narrowing suspiciously. "What the hell do you want?" She hissed through clenched teeth. "And who the bloody hell are you?' Spike added. "I am Kerl, they are Sabre and Scylla" Kerl introduced with a nod of his head to each of the other vampires. "What do you want Kerl? Surly not for me to beat your girlfriend up again?" Shade inquired with anger. Scylla's eyes flashed at the mention of her. Kerl tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and gritted his teeth. The barbarian swung his axe around till it was blade side down and leaned on the end. "He don' kno' ho' ta tell ya this bu'.We nee' ya help lass" He spoke with a faint Scottish accent. Shade paused slightly trying to think things out. "What kind of help?" Spike inquired raising one eyebrow. The barbarian grinned and swung his axe back over his shoulder. "The kin' where we des'roy the Dar' Lor'" He laughed making his braids swing back and forth.
