Buffy walked with the two frightened young women. She Sophi by the sleeve because she was afraid she would break down any minute. Buffy looked from side to side a few times when she heard a noise. It was nothing but a street cat so she continued walking a brisk pace. Nancy held her sword, while cautiously looking over her shoulder once or twice every few minutes. It wasn't paranoia or anything remotely close to that. It was just that she felt safer doing that. Besides, a few minutes ago she was attacked by a spiky demon. Sophi trudged along; still recovering from the horrible demon she had seen. She was thinking about how she could die. She didn't even know where Buffy was taking them. What if it wasn't the shelter but her lair where she would kill them? These thoughts raced across her mind, but as she looked at Buffy's face, she quickly dismissed them as just the ramblings of a scared person.
Then Nancy just stopped. She looked over her shoulder and saw someone or something. Buffy looked at Nancy then yelled, "Get down!" Nancy and Sophi dropped to the ground like weights just as Buffy swung her axe, decapitating it. "What was that?" asked Nancy. Buffy looked at it and said," Looks like a Kaliff Demon. I've seen it in books while researching but I don't think I've ever killed one before." Nancy thought it was strange that Buffy had just shrugged the killing off like it was all in a days work. Sophi stood up and looked the dead monster lying on the ground. This was the strangest day she'd ever had. Demons, vampires, and hell pretty much summed it up in one word so far. Buffy looked at both of the girls. They were both looking at the dead demon and she couldn't blame them. "Let's just hurry up and go to the shelter before any more demons try to hurt us," Buffy told the girls. She started to walk to the shelter again with both girls following her.
It was pretty uneventful as they got to the shelter. Buffy staked a few vamps but other than that, everything was fine. As Buffy came in The Immortal rushed to hug her. "I thought you were hurt because you were gone so long!" he said. Buffy pushed him away. "Well, other than a few demons, I was fine. Don't worry yourself. I mean we didn't come all the way from Europe to get me killed, did we?" Buffy said. The two girls watched on, waiting on instructions on where to go. Buffy turned to the two girls. "Um, why don't you grab a bed? I'll go tell Willow you're here." She said. Sophi following Nancy to a bed and took the one right next to hers. They sat there for a while; just thinking until an overly happy Willow came to sit down. "Hiya! My names Willow. I hope you're comfy because you're gonna be here for a while!" Sophi looked at Nancy, who was looking at the peppy witch. This was gonna be a long day.
Angel sat down on one of the beds, still recovering from the strange thing that happened in the Hyperion Alley. They were all standing there, Spike, he, Illyria, and a wounded Gunn, ready for the fight of their lives. A mob of demons ran towards them and then surprisingly, past them. The remnants of the fang gang (excluding Gunn) ran after them for a few miles but in the end they couldn't keep up. Angel didn't know where they were headed. Surely this was the wrath of the Senior Partners raining down on them! So why hadn't they attacked them? A mob of giant creatures couldn't be that elusive but since he had no car and no resources anymore, he couldn't track them. Heck, he didn't even have a TV anymore! He got his crew back together when she arrived.
She was the one girl that he always loved, no matter what. It was Buffy. But something was wrong with her. She was acting too happy. And when she mentioned hell rising in Sunnydale, a question popped into his head. Wasn't Sunnydale a big hole in the ground? It was even more awkward when she saw Spike. She just looked at him a said something like, "Hey! You're alive! Hop in!" Angel reluctantly admitted to himself that Buffy had real feelings for Spike but what had just happened was beyond strange. Buffy, believe or not, was a real emotional person. And acting like Spike didn't die at all was unthinkable if what he heard about the Spike and Buffy couple was true.
All of this was too much for Angel to comprehend at the moment. The Immortal said he planed to get the Slayers together to fight this thing, but in the mean time, everyone should rest. How could Angel rest? It seemed that the Senior Partners were raining a full-fledged apocalypse not just in LA but in other places too. And where did that big ol' army of demons go? And with Gunn in a hospital in LA where he was in critical condition, Angel felt like the weight of the world was on him. Plus, Illyria was having some type of breakdown or mid life crisis. Angel slid into the bed and tried to sleep. I'll get through this. Tomorrow is another day. he thought. If the world doesn't get destroyed that is.
