Buffy sighed as she woke up. She went downstairs and all the potentials were already there eating. "Hey guys," she said. They smiled at her and mumbled hello. She went to find Dawn. She

saw her asleep by the computer. "Dawn," she said gently shaking her. Dawn sat up. "Oh Buffy Im

sorry I was looking for information on the first and I must of feel asleep and I...I" "Its ok

Dawn. Go get something to eat. I geuss you could stay home from school today." "Oh thank thank

you so much Buffy." Buffy glared at her. "Do you have a test or something today?" "Oh no Im just

not in a school mood today." Buffy looked like she didn't belive her but still let her stay home.

Later that day Buffy had the potentials training in the basement. "I'll be right back. I need to

get something to drink." She headed upstairs were Dawn was looking for more info on the computer

and Willow was looking through books. Buffy poured herself a drink of orange juice. Xander came

in the room looking annoyed and Andrew was following him. "I like the orginal Star Wars the best.

With Harrison Ford." "Will somebody please shut him up," Xander said. Anya went over and slapped

him. "Ow that hurt," he whined. "Shut up," Anya said. "Ok," and he went and sat down on the couch.

Then Giles came rushing in. "Giles are you ok?" Buffy asked. "Its..the..evil..followed," Giles

said panting. "Breathe in and out slowly," Buffy said. "Here," willow said handing him a glass of

water. "No time," Giles said waving his hand away. "We have to get out of here. It was...was..

following me..Angel can help us. Call him..we'll meet him." Then it came this time morphed as the

master. "The time has come, for you all to leave!!!!!!!!!!"

Down in the basement they heard much noise. "I'll go see whats going on," Spike said and ran up

the stairs. He saw they were all in a corner except Buffy. She went right up to 'The Master' and

took a swing at him. He doged it and threw her with the others. "Are you alright," he asked.

Buffy noded and got up. "You will all be gone to a place you don't know were you will surly die."

Then he waved his hand and a portal opened. And started sucking them in. One of the potential,

Kennedy came upstairs to see what was wrong and her eyes widened when she saw the master. One by

one they were getting sucked into the portal. First it was Andrew, than Xander, than Giles, than

Anya, than Dawn. Spike was trying to hold on to something but then he to go sucked in. Alls that

was left was Buffy. But her hands were slipping she looked at Kennedy and said," Find Angel, he's



in LA tell him what happened." Then she to went into the portal. Then it closed up. 'The Master'

stood there looking at her then said,"I could kill you right now but I think I'll wait. The pain

will be greater than. Then he left. Kennedy rushed back to the basement and told the other

potentals what happened. "We have to find Angel. Buffy said hes in LA." "But what if the first

kills us?" "We go now. Take as many weapons as you can carry. We have to save Buffy and her

friends, where they are."

Buffy got up. For miles and miles all she could see was trees. "Great," she mumbled. And went off

to look for her friends. She heard talking but it was not anyones voice she reconized. She went

behind a tree and waited. Finally 3 things came into view. Two were boys and one was a weird

little creature. She thought they looked harmless enough she stepped out and walked towards them.

"Hi, my name is Buffy." They looked at her, "What are you doing out here?" one of them asked.

"Its a long story...I'm trying to find my friends..they are lost like me." "Where are you from?"

"Sunnydale" "Wheres that?" "California." "Um..Wheres that?" Buffy sighed, "Listen. I need to find

my friends. Its very important that I find them." "Well we haven't seen anyone." "Damnit,"

Buffy said.. "Do you know were the closest town is?" "Arent any towns around here. Would have to

walk a ways to find one." "Well were are you going?" "Ummm." Buffy heard a noise a whirled around.

It was the strangest thing. Someone covered all in black riding a horse. She could not even see

there face. "Who are you the grim reaper?" She looked back and boys and weird little creature

looked terifed. "I'm gonna take a wild geuss here and say your the bad guy?" It got off its horse

and Buffy started to fight it. She kicked it, punched it but nothing bad seemed to happen to it.

"You can't kill it," the boy said. Buffy ignored him and continued to fight. It through her to

the ground. A box of matches fell out of her pocket. "I was wondering were these went," she said.

She lit one and thourgh it at the thing. It started screeching. "Come on guys," she said and

they all ran. They stared at her in amazment. "So ya gonna tell me who you are?" One of them

stepped forward. "I'am Fordo, this is Sam and Smgeul." "So ya gonna help me find my friends?"

"We have our own mission to do," Sam said "And whats that?" "I'm afarid we cant tell you." "No,"

Frodo said. I trust her." And he told her the whold story about the ring and what happened and

what he must do. "I'll help you but only if we look for my friends on the way?" Buffy said and

she held out her hand. Frodo smiled and shook it. "Lets go," Sam said and they went on there way.
