Chapter 9
Willow looked up from the computer a while later. She turned to look at the table, where Buffy and Xander lay asleep on their arms. She smiled softly, looking at Xander. How could he be so. . .
The young Wicca shook her head, not wanting to finish the thought. After all, it was her fault that Cordelia was dumped. She stood up and walked to the two.
"Buffy, Xander, wake up. I've found the lair," she said softly.
Buffy stirred and peeked open an eye. "Wha-? I was asleep?!"
Willow nodded and pointed to Xander.
Buffy sat up and gently nudged the sleeping Xander. He stirred and mumbled something that sounded like, "Five more minutes, Mom." Willow but her lip to stop herself from laughing.
Buffy rolled her eyes. She leaned closer. "Xander, oh Xander. Wakey- wakey. Willow found the Master's lair," she whispered in his ear.
Xander opened his eyes and looked around. "Buffy. Willow. I-I-I thought I. . ."
Willow burst out laughing. "We know. 'Five more minutes, Mom'," the redhead teased.
Xander blushed. "I said that?! No way!"
"Way," Buffy said. "Now come on. Willow said she found the lair."
Buffy and Xander stood up and followed Willow to the computer. The computer whiz sat down at the computer and moved the mouse, de-activating the screensaver.
"Bingo. It's where that club-Silver Stone-used to be before it was torn down," Willow said.
"Then that's where we're going tonight," Buffy said, straightening. "Have you told Giles?"
Willow shook her head. "Going to." She stood up and headed to Giles' office. She pushed open the door and saw Giles pouring over a thick volume, more volumes occupying the only space that was left on the table.
"Giles? I found the Master's lair."
Giles looked up. "Magick. I think magick might weaken him."
Willow walked over and looked over the Watcher's shoulder at the text. "Won't it be a little hard to perform?" she asked when she had scanned it.
"It might. But I have full faith in you."
A pink tinge crept up Willow's face. "Oh come on. I'm not all that good. Maybe if you were there to help, then it would work."
Buffy and Xander came into the office. "What would work?" Xander asked.
"A complicated spell Giles wants me to perform," Willow replied. Course, it's not as complicated as some of the others I've done, she thought to herself. But if Giles found out that she had been performing harder spells. . .
Buffy nodded. "Okay. So, should we attack tonight?" she asked Giles.
Giles pondered the thought for a minute. "Yes. Tonight, we'll all meet here at sundown. Willow, I'd appreciate it if you bring some magickal items, like candles or anything that might prove useful in this spell."
"Gotcha."
Willow, Buffy and Xander, the Slayer and the Slayerettes, left the library, lost in their own thoughts.
A/N: Sorry if the chapter's a bit short. I'm suffering from writer's block. My finals are over, and I've got the results. From now on I'll try to update faithfully. Pardon me if I don't. ~.^
