Willow calmly walked to the classroom door, brushing the vamp's dust off of her clothes. She moved the desks and unlocked it with a flick of her hand. "Let's go." She said softly. Without another word, they headed down the halls to the basement access. Buffy pulled a stake into her hand. Giles raised his crossbow and notched a wooden bolt into place. Willow clenched a cross with a sharpened end, and also had a bottle of holy water. Buffy looked at them with pride. She was the slayer, it was her duty to do this until she died. Her friends were here to help and in a way, she felt that made them far more heroic than she. "We don't want to get into a battle that we can't finish. Let's just get Spike and get out." Buffy said softly. "If you get into a situation and you have to run, find someplace to hide in the sun. We'll meet up as soon as we can." Willow nodded. "I suggest we go in quietly. We may yet have the element of surprise on our side." Giles said. "I agree." Willow shook her shoulders and shifted her feet. Buffy raised her head and met her best friend's eyes. Without saying anything, they prepared for battle.
