Chapter 18: Graduation part 1
Buffy and Faith walked into the library, everyone was anxious and tense about graduation the next day. Demons had been laying low; in fact most of them had fled the hellmouth, unwilling to stay for the ascension. Days were actually spent in school, although they were not used for learning, but rather were used to map out battle plans and the works. Nights were used to train; everyone was in training, each person learning the part of the spell that they needed to recite, while the slayers worked out with Angelus and Spike using swords, staffs, and various other weapons.
"How goes it?" Faith asked, as she and Buffy came to a stop in front of Giles and Wesley, who were searching for the correct translation to the spell they had to recite.
"We don't actually have to know what we are saying, do we?" Buffy asked and the two watchers shot her an exasperated look.
"It would be generally helpful."
"Besides, we are looking for the spell in English, so that we know what you are saying." Giles told her and Wesley nodded.
"Ah-ha!" Wesley declared, pointing to a section in one of the books. "Here it is!" Giles and Wesley were extremely excited by this.
"Should I be jealous of the book?" Jenny asked as she walked in and slid her arms around Giles' waist.
"No." he told her and kissed her on the forehead, while Buffy and Faith made gagging noises. "Like you and your vampires aren't worse." He told them and both slayers shrugged.
"You are going to live longer." They told him and look of pain crossed Giles' face, as he once again realized that his slayers would not live to have children or anything else, they probably wouldn't make it through college. Wesley cleared his throat and everyone turned to him.
"What?" he asked in confusion and then realized what he had done, "I don't have anything important to add."
"The slayers need to prepare for the ritual." Doyle said as he entered.
"Any visions about tomorrow?" Buffy asked anxiously.
"No, the PTB have been tight lipped about it, I am as much in the dark as you are." he said, pulling Cordy closer, like he could protect her from the upcoming evil and maybe he could they would find out the next day.
"The town is nearly deserted," Oz said as he and Willow walked in holding hands. "There wasn't a person around, even the graduates have left."
"Yea," Willow said "We stopped a group leaving and they weren't entirely sure why they were leaving, but that they needed to. My parents left, without even realizing that I was still there."
"Not much of a change," Giles muttered and flushed when everyone stared at him. "So sorry."
"It's okay, it's true." She told him and sent him a reassuring smile, "Besides my family is here with me now." Buffy and Faith rushed and hugged her, followed by Cordy and Doyle, Oz, then Jenny and finally Giles and Wesley.
"Aww," a voice said, "isn't that cute? They are enjoying their last moments together, well at least here on earth." Everyone turned and found the other Wesley standing there, looking at them cruelly.
"Well, if it isn't the Wesley wannabe." Faith said, as she and Buffy circled him, "To what do we owe this privilege?"
"I just wanted to let your friend's know that this was their last chance leave town before I ascend tomorrow and kill them and you." He suddenly gasped in pain as a fencing sword was shoved through his chest, turning he found two very pissed off vampires.
"We are so sorry." Spike sarcastically said, "Are we interrupting?"
"As a matter of fact you are."
"Right then, we will just turn around and leave," Angelus told demon Wesley, both vampires turning around like they really were going to leave, "Right after we cut you into itty bitty pieces for threatening our mates."
"Then I would get set for a world of pain, because tomorrow I will kill them both, slowly and painfully." He promised them, "I will have my revenge on them for what they did to my brother."
"Let me get this straight, you're trying to kill us, because your dumb ass brother went and got himself killed in another dimension by us and so you are getting your revenge in our dimension?"
"Ya, so?"
"Just making sure that I understand what is going on in that idiotic brain of yours." Buffy told him, as Angelus stepped in front of her, trying to protect her.
"Adieu, I will see you tomorrow." Demon Wesley told them and turned and left the room.
"Well that was pleasant."
"You mistook him for me?" Wesley asked indecorously. "He acts nothing like me and besides did you see the way he dressed?" he asked, indicating the tweed suit that the demon had on.
"Yes, well you are a watcher." Giles said, "It is the dress code."
"Screw the dress code, besides I was a watcher I am no longer one and neither are you. Do you own anything besides tweed?"
"A question we find ourselves asking all the time." Buffy added and smiled innocently when Giles glared at her, he then cleared his throat and changed the subject.
"Alright, we need the two slayers over here," Giles said, indicating the circle and the pentagram in the middle of it. He placed them on the left and right tip. "Now, you shall recite the words, mix the blood, and hopefully everyone will be able to see the shield." Faith and Buffy made a face when Giles mentioned the blood.
"Why does it have to be blood?" Buffy asked looking from Giles to Wesley, both of whom shrugged, Spike rolled his eyes and commented.
"Because it is always about the blood. Blood is the life, why do you think vampires drink it?" he asked and everyone slowly nodded, knowing that he was right, for once.
"Wow, look at that, blonde does have a brain, he didn't kill it off with all the peroxide." Faith said and everyone stared to laugh, while Spike glared at her.
"Children!" Giles said, "Could we please stay focused? It is only the end of the world." Giles said sarcastically, glaring at them.
"Chill, Giles." Buffy said, "We understand, we are just having a bit of fun before we save the world."
"Again." Willow, Oz, Doyle, and Cordy chimed in and everyone started to laugh again. When Giles cleared his throat angrily; it looked like you could boil water on his head. The two slayers took their places on the pentagram.
"Goddess of protection hear our calls." Buffy commanded.
"Goddess of slayers hear our calls." Faith commanded.
"We give our blood freely so that you may protect this unholy place and keep it from opening." Faith and Buffy said together, slitting their palms and holding them in the middle of the pentagram. Nothing happened at first.
"Gee, maybe it's broken." Angelus said, but there was a sudden burst of light and everyone was thrown backwards, except Buffy and Faith who were suspended in mid air.
"Greetings my daughters." A voice said, "I have long awaited this moment when I would meet the last of the my daughters, the ones to walk for eternity." She continued and Buffy and Faith exchanged worried looks, "Don't look so worried, I would not make you walk this road alone." She said looking first at the two vampires and then at the rest of the group. "When you have finished this fight and your vampires have completed the ritual your friends will follow you into eternity. When your job is done and your task complete you shall find your eternal rest." She told them and everyone looked slightly at ease. "Fair thee well and I will guard this unholy place, but I will also close it for you so that you may leave on the morrow." The light was gone; Faith and Buffy were gently placed on the ground, the pentagram and circle gone.
"Did what I think just happen?" Faith asked, looking at both watchers for confirmation.
"Yes," Wesley answered, "She just closed the hellmouth."
"Screw that!" Cordy exclaimed, "We are immortal."
"Well, not yet there princess." Angelus said, "You have to wait for me and Spike to bind our lives to the slayers."
"Well hurry up and do it." Cordy said looking at the two vampires in exasperation. "I get a chance to stay young and beautiful forever."
"Well, actually princess," Doyle put in, "Only until our task is done." He said and Cordy glared at him. "Besides you will always look beautiful to me." He told her and then kissed her, causing everyone to oh and ah!
"Alright, well that is all that needed to be done tonight," Giles said, "We need to go home and sleep and be back here at nine o'clock sharp and don't forget the swords!" he told them and everyone filed out of the library.

"Tired?" Angelus asked, creeping up behind Buffy and sliding his arms around her waist. Buffy turned in his arms and began to place kisses on his neck, she nipped the artery where his pulse would have been and Angelus vamped, looking down at her.
"Not really." She told him and pulled his hand down for a passionate kiss. She ripped his shirt off and buttons flew all over the room, she giggled when the buttons popped. Angelus returned the favor and her bra followed, he left open mouth kisses down her chest until he was suckling on her nipple, and Buffy's giggles turned into moans of pleasure. He walked her backwards and pushed her down onto the bed, quickly following her down. While he treated the other breast to the same attention his hands went between their bodies and quickly got rid of her pants and thong.
"Are you wet?" he asked and Buffy moaned her response arching into his hand, wanting him to touch her. "Did you want something? All's you have to do is ask." He told her and teased her by brushing his fingertips over her curls.
"Please Angelus!" she cried and arched into him, trying to entice him. She saw him smirk and decided to get her revenge. She reached between them and unzipped his pants and slipped her hand inside to slowly stroke his growing erection. "Want something?" she purred when he growled at her. Angelus stood up and got rid of his pants and boxers and he climbed back onto the bed, making a place for himself between her thighs. He thrust home and passion quickly mounted, until they both screamed their release.
"Sleep, love." He commanded, tucking her into his embrace and underneath his chin. Buffy curled up into him and promptly fell asleep, her hands holding his in place so that he couldn't move.
