By the time the councilmen had gotten outside, Faith, Spike and Nina were
already in Nina's car. "See ya later boys," Cried Faith. They sped away
almost as fast as they had come, but this time there spirits were high.
Nina and Spike knew the council wasn't after them, and Faith knew that Nina
had protected her and got them out. Faith was pretty sure she could trust
Nina with her life, and she hadn't thought that way about anyone for a long
time. "Where are we going to hide?" asked Spike. "I'm not one for hiding,"
Said Nina, "We should probably just go back to your crypt and wait there.
There's no way that the men of the council are stupid enough to take on two
slayers at once." "Alright," said Spike. "But why MY crypt? It's really not
as nice of a place as you think." "I can change that," said Nina. The car
stopped right outside the crypt. It had actually flown over the cemetery
and landed there. Then, with a way of Nina's hand, it disappeared. The y
walked up the steps to the crypt door, Spike opened it, and Nina entered
first. "Boy you were right," she observed, "you really didn't give me much
to work with. But, that's alright, I can still fix things." And with a snap
from her fingers and a spoken, "décor mate," everything change. A couple
leather couches appeared, along with a wide screen TV, a stereo system, a
phone, a different bed with better sheets, and the hard stone floor changed
to wood. "I would put carpet," said Nina, "But that's too hard to get blood
stains out of." "I've always wanted one of those," said Spike, walking over
to the wide screen. "You are amazing," said Faith, "How'd you learn to do
all that, magic." "Lot's of practice," answered Nina. "Spike, you want to
come with me to check on the council situation." "Sure," said Spike heading
for the door. "Hello, I didn't mean walk, we'll just pop over there. Faith,
if anyone comes just say return, and we'll come back as fast as we can."
"Alright," said Faith, still looking around. 'We'll be right back." Said
Nina. She walked over to Spike, took his hand, and started chanting.
"Diana, make us cloaked to all, make the sun rise and fall, let us spy as
if we're a wall, but never let them hear our call." And with that, they
vanished.
