Tonight and the rest of my life
Chapter 8
Giles was the first person to ask. How was she suppose to explain that an evil woman who just wanted her boyfriend back was about to unleash hell on the scoobies and their loved ones?
"Spike... You broke it off with Drusilla." It wasnt a question.
"Damn right I did. What?" Spike was confused.
"Drusilla is going to have us all killed, the whole City is going to be over run by demons because of me." Heaven touched her forehead she felt like hell had already opened up in her head.
"Shes going to open the Hellmouth." Angel practically read it on her.
"This isnt your fault." Willow said sitting on the floor next to Heaven.
"Shes hired assasins, called the untouchables to kill off me and Buffy then she plans to open the Hellmouth and keep Angel and Spike to herself." Heaven said giving Willow a small smile.
"We can take her. All we have to do it go over there and stake her." Buffy said.
"No Buffy." Heaven stood looking at Spike, she felt horrible for more then one reason. "She isnt alone."
"What do you mean not alone?" Xander asked.
"She resurected Darla." Heaven leaned against the wall next to Spike.
"So, Darla has been snuffed out before. It can be done again." Xander was trying to sound feirce.
"The two of them? Together? Thats hell enough." Angel said and Spike nodded.
"Shes going to come to the house. And shes going to kill me." Heaven knew she wasnt scared of death. She was scared of not being alive with all of these people.
"She is not." Giles said flipping through a book.
"Nope, not for another week." Heaven said she smiled though.
"What about Buffy?" Xander was concerened.
"Buffy's gonna stake Darla but she wont die. She'll be back." Heaven said he head was pounding.
----
Heaven sat in the house with the lights off alone and worried. Not scared, just worried. She leaned against the the large sofa that Jaime had gone nuts over when he had seen it at the store. It was soft and comforting, you could sink into and it would keep you warm forever. She felt hot tears slid down her face, she wad unaware that she had been crying.
She pulled a warm blanket off of the back of the sofa and wrapped it around herself. The rain pelted the windows and the side of the house furiously and althought the lights had gone out hours ago she had yet to adjust her sight. It was still too dark to see.
The back door slammed open then with a large amount of grunting and pushing it was closed again. She heard someone run into something in the kitchen and she knew it was Angel or Spike.
"Where are you?" She heard Xander call through the house.
"Living room." Heaven answered feeling stupid for sitting alone.
"The whole scooby gang should be here soon. Aparently there is some huge to do about something or another." Xander said coming into the living room waving his flash light around.
"Hey, dont go pointing that at people." Heaven ducked from the beam of light.
"What are you doing? Siting alone in the dark." Xander said ploping down on the sofa next to her.
"Just thinking." Heaven said smiling.
"You think to much." Xander crossed his leg over to let his foot rest on his knee.
"You dont think enough." Heaven said breaking out of her weird quiet mode.
"I do." Xander nodded.
"Yeah, okay and I'm Princess Di." Heaven said recieving a pillow blow to the side.
"Hah!" Xander laughed as he ducked pillow swing from Heaven.
Xander bopped her on the top of the head with a pillow and she jumped up smacking him with a pillow then falling on the floor laughing. Xander fell on the floor next to her and they both laughed uncontrolably.
"How old are you two?" Heaven heard Spike behind them with just the tip of his cigarette lit.
The just sent the two of them into more fits of laughter. They were still laughing when they noticed the rest of the scooby gang had come in with Angel holding a large flashlight. All of them, except for Spike had a smile on their face.
"So, whats going on?" Heaven asked sitting up.
"Right, it appears that Drusilla and Darla want more then to uh get Buffy and Heaven out of the way." Giles shifted his weight to his other foot.
"Okay why dont we all sit and then talk?" Heaven said standing and motioning to the sofa, the loveseat and the large winged chair that could sit two people comfortably.
Everyone moved around taking seats in the spacious living room. Heaven sighed looking around into the darkness barely being able to see but knowing everything that was there.
"They have joined forces with an immortal clan of ancient demons to open the hellmouth." Giles said as he sat.
"Who are they?" Heaven asked feeling Spikes cool body next to hers.
"The Gruiaka.We dont know a lot about them, yet." Giles answered.
"But, there is a but." Buffy knew Giles better then anyone else.
"Their destiny is to follow a leader. If Drusilla and Darla want you as dead as it seems they wont stop with the one." Giles said hesitantly.
"How do I kill it?" Buffy was stern.
"I dont know." She heard Giles's glasses clank on the small table next to his chair.
The lights flickered on and she saw everyone sitting where she had thought they would be. They all seemed relieved from the having to talk in the direction of where the voice was coming from.
"There is a spell to kill anything. I know there is." Heaven said flicking her fingers out so that a large heavy book from the shelf fell on the table next to Giles.
"Thank you." Giles was surprised by her power.
She smiled slightly as he flipped through the book. He stopped momentarily to read a page then his eyes lit up and Heaven could feel the happiness radiating off of him. Then he lost his happiness as he read on.
"What is it Giles?" Heaven asked curiously.
"You have to kill the king. There is a spell but it can be done by one powerful witch. There is only one problem, this spell is so powerful that it may kill the witch within." Giles said looking back down at the book.
"On a scale of one to ten how dead will we be when this thing hits the fan?" Heaven asked the room.
"A hundred." Xander said letting his head fall to his hands.
"Then I'll do it." Heaven said with a smile.
"What? No." Giles said looking back at the thick book.
"If I summon him it will keep all the rest of you from the sticky. Then, I bind him so he cant kill me while I turn him into a ball of smoke." Heaven said standing and walking to the book. "Fellion? Thats his name? Got it."
"Heaven think about what you are doing." Buffy said standing and putting her hands on Heavens shoulders.
"You want to do this Buffy? You have saved the world for three years okay give yourself a break or something. Who else can do this? If I dont do this then we ALL die!" Heaven was near tears, as if she wanted to die.
"Giles, if she kills these guys dont we still have to worry about Darla and Drusilla?" Buffy cried, she was tearing up also.
"You wont. They will leave." Angel said it softly.
"Then its done. Im going to do it Buffy dont stop me." Heaven said grabbing the book.
Buffy made an attempt to touch Heaven but was pushed back gently as Heaven put her hands out causing a blue force field in the room.
"You have to get out." Heaven said looking at Giles who nodded.
"Heaven dont you do this." Spike's growl turned in to a begging moan. "You cant leave me Heaven. I just found you."
"Get out." Heaven hissed and as if in a spell the whole room cleared of people.
Tears slid down her face as she chanted the summoning spell.
"Magic forces black and white, reaching out through space and light. Be he far or be he near. Bring the demon Fellion here." She chanted it three times as a white light brought a large greenish demon that resembled the other one but larger.
Heaven clamped her hand into a fist bind the demon but his piercing cry was something she couldnt bind. She had memorized the short but deadly spell.
"Demon king who serves as one, vanquish him may no more come." Heaven only had to say it once.
The white hot pain corsed through her body as the demon bursted into millions of small red lights. She screamed out in pain as she flew backwards hitting the protection bubble that fell down as she hit the ground. The home still intact and everything the same except for the lifeless body laying on the floor in a pool of blood.
