By the pace that Nina and Faith took to the crypt, they probably arrived a
good 15 min. before Buffy and the Scooby gang. It was almost 11:00 at
night, pitch black outside. The only reason they could see was because of a
small glow coming from under the crypt door. "They must have a lamp," said
Nina, "Hopefully oil." "Why oil?" Asked Faith, "What's so great about
that?" "Because it's easier to burn vampires when there is something to
light." "Of course," smirked Faith. That has to be Faith's favorite
expression, thought Nina. Then with one powerful kick from Nina, the crypt
door flew open. There were about twelve vampires standing there. None of
them turned. They were deep in an incantation, and if any of them moved,
the spell would be broken. "Wait a second," whispered Faith, "I know that
chant. It's used to extract a vampire's soul. But who's soul are they
trying to take?" And then, Nina saw it. Angel's old diary was sitting in
the middle of the circle. They wanted to take away Angel's soul. One of
them had made the call to Angel; it was all making sense now. They needed
Angel to complete the circle. "I don't know what they're doing," Lied Nina
to Faith, "But I say we don't wait to find out." She new Faith didn't like
Angel, and wouldn't help her stop the vampires if she new the truth. "We
have to get that book." "OK," said Faith, taking a step. "Wait," ordered
Nina, "One more thing. See that vampire on crutches over there?" "Yeah,"
answered Faith. "That's the one we're leaving." "OK," said Faith. Now these
vampires were pretty stupid, they had formed this circle with the twelve
they had, not bothering to post bodyguards. So easy for Nina, all she had
to do was walk up to the strongest vampire in the place. He wouldn't turn
around for fear he would break the spell, and she could just kill him. So
with her high heeled boots clicking, she strutted over to him, and giving
Faith a quick glance, slammed her knife though his back. A horrible blood-
curling scream pierced through the air as both the spell and the vampire's
existence ended. "Pity," said Nina, "I never even found out his name."
"Let's get this party started!" Yelled Faith. The fight was on.
