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.
( This is where the story is about to change.(
Nina all of a sudden realized what had happened, for she was suddenly
remembering all of this. It was like everything that was happening had
happened once before. And then a scene flashed in her mind. "Five by Five,"
answered Faith, and her head fell back. Nina looked back at the diary in
the middle of the circle. This time Faith wouldn't die. This time it would
be them against the world, or at least against the Scooby gang and the
council.
"You know what they're doing," explained Nina. "That's Angel's diary in the
center of the circle, they're extracting his soul. I say we let them."
"I'm with you on that one," said Faith.
"But we should get front row seats," smiled Nina.
"Of course," answered Faith, "Over here."
And there they waited, on a coffin in the darkest corner of the crypt. They
were there for only 10 minutes, when Angel and Buffy came flying through
the door.
