Chapter 9
Two figures could be seen walking through the dark forest that was lit only by the stars above. Their movement where slow and steady, the figure in front suddenly stopped.
"Ow!! Wesley could you watch where you're going?" Willow complained. "I know I heal fast but if you could not stab your axe in my behind, I'd really appreciate it."
"Well if you'd of given me a little warning you were about to stop, it could have been avoided." Wesley whispered back.
"I was expecting you to watch where you were going."
"How can I bloody watch where I'm going, I can't even see my bloody hand if I held it up to my bloody face in this dark." Wesley's whisper becoming rather loud at this point.
"Shhh." Willow held up a hand to silence him. "I hear a rustle of bushes."
"It's probably the dam windhhhhhh…" Wesley deduction was interrupt as something very large slammed into him. The creature growled in his face before slumping on top of him, minus the growly head. The creature's slimy yellow blood poured out of its neck. "Uch thank you very much." Willow pushed the headless demon off Wesley and helped him up.
"You ok?"
"Except for the slime now coating me from head to toe. Just peachy. What should we do with the body?"
Willow looked down, muttering a few words under breath she flicked her hand towards the creature's body and head. They caught fire and within a few seconds where fully cremated and the flames went out leaving nothing but ashes behind.
"Very impressive Willow." Wesley said in praise.
"I try."
"Well now the demon is a pile of ash. Shall we patrol around the town?" Wesley asked and offered her his arm.
Willow nodded her head in agreement and accepted the offered arm.
"Excellent, then you can tell me a bit about what happened when you first arrived in the past."
