Tonight and the rest of My life
Chapter 13
Buffy stood silently the whole room was thick with the errie silence. Heaven picked up a chair that Angel had knocked over when he was getting his soul ripped out of him. There was little chance that Glory could live to see the end of this now.
"Thats it." Heaven said slamming her hand down so hard on the counter she left a small handprint.
"Was that what I just thought it was?" Xander asked stupidly.
"Yeah, it was." Spike said looking at Heaven.
"Thats totally then end of Glory. Exscuze me while I go get me a piece of Hell God ass." Heaven growled leaving the kitchen and grabbing her keys.
She stepped out of her house and before anyone could even come after her she was in her car and pulling out of the driveway. She sped down the street feeling for Glory's presence. She pulled up infront of a large nice building of Condo's. She knew this was the place by the dead guy with large fang marks laying on the ground infront of the door. She stepped over the body.
She pushed on the door but it was locked no doubt. She slammed her hands hard on the door forcing it open. A man at the front desk was holding a phone up to his ear when Heaven ran up the stairs leading to Glory's large, expensive apartment. She kicked down the door and entered through the cinders of wood that flew around her.
"Well, I knew you would come." Glory said with a smile.
"You turned Angel. You did it today, now this is the end of you. I have had enought time to play around now I'm just going to snap your neck like a twig." Heaven couldnt believe the hate that was spilling out of her.
"I've got something you dont." Glory smiled. "Him."
Heaven did a back flip kicking Angel who was behind her in the face. He stumbled back then attempted to attack her again and she shoved her fist into his face. She turned around and kicked Glory with the side of her foot. Angel grabbed Heaven by the neck and began to tighted his grip. Heaven pulled up her own hand and hit Angel on the arm with the side of her arm. He hissed and pulled his wounded hand back. Heaven turned to face Glory but she was ambushed by three of the nasty mingons that Glory kept around. Glory came up between them and punched Heaven in the face sending her flying out the window. She hit the ground hard ontop of a rock. She looked up to see Glory and Angel standing at the window with big smiles on their faces.
When they dissappeared it hit her. They had done this on purpose to lure her there so that Buffy was alone to fight them when they came for the key. They knew it was in human form and that Buffy was protecting it. They would go for Kitty she was the newest member to the group. Heaven pushed herself off of the ground and with all of the power she had she began to run. To her car, which was now nothing but metal with a large hole in it and flipped on its side. Heaven didnt care, she ran as fast as she could but she wasnt in a car like dumb and dumber.
She ran through her front door but it was too late. Buffy was unconcious on the floor in the living room and Spike was tied to the chandelier by a rope. Heaven ran through the house, Tara, Kitty and Dawn were missing. She got on her knees and shook the crap out of Buffy till she woke slowly with a grunt. She had been hit hard on the back of the head.
"Buffy they took Dawn, Tara and Kitty." Heaven cried and Buffy snapped her eyes open.
Heaven ran up the stairs then halfway up jumped off the side and pulled on the rope holding up Spike. He fell to the floor with a curse word. Heaven shook him to wake him up but he was badly beaten up as well.
"Damn." Heaven said sitting on the floor and covering her face with her hands.

The sun was coming up whenever Buffy finally came to. Heaven had spent the better half of the night nursing her wounds with the help of Xander on the large one on her back. Buffy sat up and looked around, the phone was ringing.
"Hello." Xander said painfully. "No, this is her friend. Oh. Yes of course, thank you."
"What is it?" Heaven said pulling the back of her shirt back down over the bandage.
"Its Kitty. They found her in a feild with a woman. They need Kitty's guardian down at the hospital. I think the woman was Tara. No word on Dawn." Xander said as Buffy sat up.
Spike howled in the hall way and pulled himself out of the light. He had burnt his arm in the light. Anya was on the sofa with an ice pack to her head and Giles was in the kitchen out of them he was in the best shape so he was making Coffee and tea. Willow was in the large chair with a spell book open.
"Then I better get going." Heaven said standing with lots of pain.
"What happened to you?" Buffy asked Heaven.
"I got thrown out of a window." Heaven said. "Can I borrow someones car?"
"What happened to yours?" Anya asked.
"Theres this gaping hole in it from being flipped over." Heaven said grimacing just thinking about it.
"So what you were just saying was that they found Tara and Kitty but no sign of Dawn?" Buffy was talking to Xander not Heaven.
"Bugger this." Spike growled from the hallway crawling into the living room.
"I gotta run." Heaven said looking around.
"Ill drive." Xander said standing and following her out into the sun.
"I'll come too." Willow said slamming the book shut and following them out of the door.
"This is just the worst thing that could happen." Heaven said limping to Xanders car.
"You do understand that she has Angel now." Xander said getting into the drivers side.
"Yes Xander. I undestood it when I got thrown out of a window." Heaven leaned her head back.
"That is a nasty wound you have there. What do we do now? You, Buffy and Spike are all seriously injured and Glory has Angel and they are both in perfect condition. And they have Dawn now." Xander shook his head.
"Remind me again Xander because I dont think I got it the first time." Heaven growled.
"Sorry." Xander said sheepishly.
"Whoa. Wait. I think I have an idea." Heaven said looking back at Willow.
"What?" Xander asked as they pulled into the parking lot of the Hospital.
"Wil, your a powerful witch. Think you can handle some serious power?" Heaven asked sliding out of the car painfully.
"Yeah, I think so." Willow said following the two of them.
"Thing is, in a great battle like this is about to be a god can call on the ancient powers to protect. With Angel on their side this is a completly differnt game." Heaven said as they entered the busy hospital.
"Are you worried that Glory will do that?" Xander asked her as the nurse pointed them in the direction of the hospital ward.
"Yeah, but she should be worried that I will do it. Being a direct disendent of Apollo I can transfer power, split it. Send it. I can do what I want in a crisis like this. My father would understand that Glory would wreak havoc on this world and there is no way we would let her drain Dawn. She has to be stopped before she kills Dawn." Heaven said plainly.
"Miss Gordon?" A good looking male nurse said to her with a smile.
"Yes thats me." Heaven said with a warm smile.
Xander poked her in the back and she lost the smile and followed the doctor. They came into a room where Kitty was laying on a bed staring at the ceiling next to Tara who was talking about something that didnt make any sense.
"Tara!" Willow cried running to Tara.
"Whats wrong with Kitty?" Heaven asked the nurse.
"Complete withdrawl. She hasnt said a word since we found her." He said looking down at Kitty.
Heaven covered her forehead with her hand and forced herself to keep from crying. What was she suppose to do.
"Heaven, tonight is the... thing. Shouldnt we just leave her in their care for the night and the come back for her in the morning and see what we can do?" Xander said to her.
"Yeah, I guess your right." Heaven said looking at Kitty.
"I would have sugested that she stay here for the night or maybe two." The nurse said.
"What about Tara?" Willow said hugging Tara.
"I think it would be best for Tara to stay here for the night as well." The male nurse said making Willow even more upset.
"Forget." Willow said raising her hand slightly.
The male nurse looked around then turned and left the ward. Willow got Tara out of the bed and Heaven kissed Kitty on the forehead and they left.
"We need to get to the house. We have to make a game plan." Heaven said as they got into the car together.
They reached the house about ten minutes later. Everyone was fully awake now and Willow took Tara upstairs to change into actual clothes instead of the hospital gown she was in. Buffy had opened Heaven's chest of weapons and was going through them and Giles was giving everyone coffee or tea. Anya was still on the sofa with the ice pack and Spike was sitting in the chair in the corner. Xander sat next to Anya and studied the bruise on her forehead and Heaven grabbed a candle then made for the dining room. She pushed everything off of the table and sat on it then lit the candle. She closed her eyes and they opened again a few seconds later but just white bulbs of eyes.
Heaven stood in the white hall once again. She knew it well, her father stood infront of her.
"You do not have much time. I wish to instill the power of your people in you my child for you to be able to fight this war and win. I will do this, but if you fail your powers will be stripped from you. All of your rights as a god will be taken from you and you will be left with only the powers from your mother. Go now." Her father summed it all up and left her without a word from her own mouth.
She opened her eyes and fell off the table. She laid on her back as a white light flowed through her, she cried out as the pain ended and looked around. Spike, Buffy and Xander were standing over her.
"Ow." Heaven said sitting up.
She noticed that the pain in her back was gone. She felt her back and it was completly healed. She smiled up at them she was so not one to be messed with now.
"Do we have any clue on how to find her?" Heaven asked pushing herself up.
"Not a one. Besides where you found her apartment but I bet she vacated that hot spot." Xander said following Heaven into the living room
"Well we all need to be well and whatever for the thing. How long do we have Giles?" Heaven asked opening a spell book from off of the book shelf.
"We have until midnight tonight." Giles replied not taking the chance to move.
"Hmm." Heaven said takin the book into the kitchen and grabbing some liquids and herbs then coming back into the living room and sitting on the floor next to Buffy.
"Whats that?" Xander asked looking down at Heavens pot as she dumbped the herbs and liquids in the pot.
"Healing potion." Willow said.
"Why dont you just call for your brother?" Anya asked her moving the icepack to her waist.
"Because he only has so much power and there are six of us that are injured." Heaven said mixing the concoction.
Heaven looked back down at the tub of ingredients. This was bound to be a very long night.
-----
Heaven yanked her long hair up into a pony tail as the group followed Tara. Spike was moaning and complaining about how Tara was going the wrong way that this was too far out of the way for Glory to be taking Dawn when they reached what looked like a chop shop but there was a massive tower infront of them.
Anya let out a gasp and she was honestly speaking for the whole group because Dawn was up there, she could be seen only by the fact that she was a dot but she could still be seen. Heaven smacked Buffy out of her trance and she nodded. Heaven would find Angel and do her best to keep him all tied down til she could do the spell on him. Buffy would find Glory, keep her off track while Spike or someone whoever could be avaliable would go and get Dawn.
Heaven swept to the side she felt Angels presence near the entrance of the large factory and she shot her hand in the direstion in which she knew Glory was. Heaven headed to the gate. It was locked so she slammed her hand down hard on the lock and it broke in two. She slipped through the gate and into an open mechanical field. She was near the entrance of the tower but she knew if she made a run for it Angel would find her, or Glory would then she would just be putting Dawn in more danger.
"I am not surprised to find you here." Heaven heard and she turned to see Angel behind her.
"What? Did Glory send you to snuff me out Angel? Cant she do it herself?" Heaven asked Angel with a smirk.
"You know what Heaven, you are always sticking your nose in other peoples business why cant you just stay out?" Angel growled with a swing to Heavens face.
She did a backflip kicking Angel in the face and mounting herself for the next thing he wanted to throw at her. He actually did pick up a large piece of scrap metal and threw it at her barely scraping the side of her face. She came foreward and Angel kicked her in the stomach. She spun around taking him in the side of the head with her left foot. He grabbed her foot and flipped her backwards. She landed on her back with a thud. She threw her hands at Angel freezing him in mid air and anked the locket she had brought for this special occasion off of her neck. She pulled a knife from her felt and grabbed Angels hand, she cut it and of course he was frozen his blood wasnt flowing. She cut her own hand then unfroze him.
"What the ..." Angel hissed as Heaven closed her palm around Angels with the locket in the middle.
"???? ??? ?????? ??????, ????? ????????? ??????????? ????? ????????, ??????? ?? ??? ??? ??? ?????? ???????, ???????? ?? ??? ??? ??????????? ???. ????? ??????? ????? ??? ????? ???, ?????? ?????? ???? ??????????? ???????, ??? ?????? ??? ???? ??, ????????? ??? ?? ??? ????????????." Heaven spoke the whole summoning spell in Greek.
She gripped Angels hand harder as the locket began to heat up. A white light enveloped the two of them and when it ended they fell to the ground breathing hard. Heaven looked up to see a whole opening in the sky, it was a white hole that spread. Angel jumped up and pulled Heaven with him as a hole opened up behind them, it was a demonic realm like the one that Giles had told them would open. Heaven and Angel began to run to the large tower but made a dead stop when they saw someone jumping off of the tower.
"Buffy!" Heaven screamed, she was falling right into the light.
The rest was blurs of people crying and holding each other. Heaven knew what was coming next, she had failed. The world had lost a slayer, Glory was caught in her vulnerable state and was killed. Angel was back and everyone was in severe pain and denial.
Heaven fell onto the ground as the soft golden glow she had escaped from her and went towas the heavens. She felt empty all of the sudden, now she wasnt immortal. She still had her powers the ones she had gotten from her mother but she was no longer her fathers daughter.
