CHAPTER 3 : Sunnydale
During that time, in Sunnydale Buffy's friends, together in Buffy's house, were wondering where she was. They didn't see her since lunch and she gave them a rendez-vous at her house to watch videos between friends. Willow tried several times to reach Buffy on her cellphone but there was nothing, not even a tonality, as if the batteries were out and that was probably the case.
One thing that also worries her friends is that she also forgot her beeper at home. That's not normal because she always take it wherever she goes, and her cellphone as well.
Dawn, Buffy's little sister, was also worried and she was crying. For her it's obvious her sister disappeared.
Xander was walking around the living room. One thing we can say about him, the good friend, is that we can always see the panic on his face. Even when he tries to hide it. He makes others panic as well.
Willow is sat on a sofa and doesn't say anything because she's trying to stay calm and to look like she's calm but she wasn't in the inside. She knew that something wasn't normal. Buffy never leaves without telling someone.
Anya, old avenger demon, doesn't seem to panic. She knows how strong the slayer is and she wouldn't do something stupid like leaving without telling anybody.
It's the silence in the living room. Everyone's deeply concentrate on their thoughts.
Xander finally broke that silence that became unbearable :
- God, what's happening ? I don't understand anything. Why is Buffy not here ?
- Xander, says Willow complaining, we're all as worried as you are.
- And me, says Dawn crying, do you think I'm not? My big sister isn't here. I'm sure something really bad happened to her. She never leaves without telling us.
- Wait a sec, says Anya, you never thought maybe she was bored of fighting everyday and she wanted to have a rest in a calm place ?
- She would never do that, yelled Dawn still crying.
- Look Dawn, says Willow trying to reassure her, we'll search and we'll find what's going on with your sister, I'm sure of that !
They begin thinking again in different places in the living room.
Suddenly :
- Yes, of course…, how didn't I thought about that before ? I'm so stupid… she must be there, says Xander to himself without noticing everybody heard him and is looking at him.
Everybody turned on Alex looking at him. Willow began saying again what Xander just said.
- Xander do you know where Buffy could be? Ask Dawn and Willow in the same time.
- It's obvious she's at Angel's.
- Yes sure, says Dawn a bit reassured, it's obvious, how didn't we think about that earlier ?
- I don't know, says Willow surprised.
- Well, says Anya, we have to call Angel and we'll find Buffy.
- Does anybody know the phone number of Angel? Asks Xander. I don't know it because I don't really love that vampire !
- No, says Dawn, even if we had it Angel barely knows how to use it, says Dawn smiling.
- No panic, I'll take control of everything, says Xander smiling.
Willow, Anya and Dawn looked at him seriously.
- If we can't even laugh anymore… says Xander. I'm sure she's having fun with that guy.
- Everyone take his jacket and we're going to Angel's, says Dawn more calm then before.
They leave the house leaving a note for poor Buffy in case she'll be home before them. They take Xander's car and drive till Angel's house.
