Chapter Four: Dreamland
Buffy and Angel lay side by side on the ground.
"What happened to them?" Dawn asked about to go and touch Buffy to see if she was awake or sleeping.
"I'm really not sure" Xander said grabbing onto Dawns arm knowing what she was about to do. "I'm guessing there…umm"
'They are now in a sleep like state" the monk said as he circled them. "I preformed an ancient spell on them to awaken the spirits and ghosts of the future past and present. They should find what they are looking for"
"Well that should be helpful" Spike said.
"Totally" Harmony said. "…I'm bored. can we go now"
"No" Spike said. "Not until they are finished there dream thing"
"Fine" Harmony said looking around bored. "We'll stay"
"They look so peaceful" Willow said
"I wonder what there dreams are like" Xander said
"Probably nothing to shocking" Wesley said. "Probably just like a normal dream"
(Cut to Buffy's dream)
Buffy walked down a white hallway. The hallway was long. It looked like the walls were melting and the ground was made of sand. Buffy looked up at the roof. Only there was no roof. Instead there was the night sky. Stars and two moons. Buffy then looked at the walls. Now there were pictures of old ladies and men hanged on the walls. There eyes seemed to follow her as she walked.
"Hello?" Buffy asked as her voice echoed in the room.
Buffy kept walking until she came to a door. The door looked like her old houses front door. Buffy slowly opened it. A bright light comes from the room. Buffy looked into he room and all she could see was white. She slowly walked into the room
(Cut to Angel's dream)
Angel walked out of a white room. He walked into a garden but he stayed in the shadows of the trees. Angel saw three little girls playing out in the open with a ball. They skip and sing 'ring around the rosy'. The song echoes thought the garden. There ball rolled over to Angel. One of the girls walked up to him and picked up the ball.
"Hello mister" the girl said. "What are you doing here? And what's your name"
"Angel" Angel said as the girl approached him. "I'm trying to find answers"
The girl looked at him bluntly.
"What's your name?" Angel asked her
"Angelina" Angelina said.
Angelina drooped the ball and t rolled into the sun
"Could you get it for me" Angelina said pointing to the ball.
Angel started to walk to get the ball but stopped at the end of the tree's shadow.
Angelina walks into the sun and picks up the ball and rolls it to the other girls who began playing games again.
"You wish you could come, don't you" Angelina said. "In the sun. To be human again. To feel your heart beat like it used to. To be alive"
"Yes" Angel said
"You don't seek what the blonde woman seeks" Angelina said. "You don't want to know about the evil. I will show you. Tell you. Just step into the light"
The Girl takes Angels hand and walks into the sun. Angel follows but does not burn up.
They walk down a path.
(Cut to Buffy's Dream)
Buffy looked around. She is back in the cave where she fell asleep. She sees herself on the floor next to Angel sleeping. Buffy sees Willow and Xander talking. They move their mouths but no sound is coming out. No sound can be heard but the noise of the flame.
"What's going on her" Buffy said.
Buffy noticed the monk. He was looking right at her. She looked behind her. No one was there. He must have been looking right at her.
"I love the quite" a voice said echoing the room.
"What?" Buffy said looking around. "Who said that?"
Doyle walked out of the shadows.
"Who are you?" Buffy asked
"The names Doyle" Doyle said as he walked up to her. "Used to work for me good buddy Angel, when he first came to L.A. Before Wolfram and Hart"
"Doyle" Buffy said remembering something. "Willow said something about you. You died your dead or something. What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to help you with what you seek" Doyle said. "To answer your question"
"Oh" Buffy said
Doyle slowly walked out of the cave
"Follow me" Doyle said
Buffy quickly ran after her in to the dark cave
(Cut to Angel's dream)
Angel and Angelina walk into the black thorns meeting room where Angel had signed his chance of becoming a human again away.
"Angelina" Angel said. "What are we doing here?"
Angelina picked up a piece of paper that was on the table.
'To be Immortal" Angelina said. "But not to experience true happens forever must be some version of hell"
"More than that sometimes" Angel said
Angelina unrolls the piece of paper and looks at it.
"You want to make this go away" Angelina said showing Angel the deal he signed. "To give you hope of to somehow become human. That is what you seek. Away to be human or at least to give you hope."
"I…" Angel started to say
"There is no shame in wanted to be human" Angelina said smiling. "If you want it bad enough, anything is possible"
"I want to be human more then anything else" Angel said. "Otherwise…"
"…What you're
doing is all pointless" Angelina said. "You signed it way. This
contract is binding"
Angelina showed Angel the contract he had
signed.
"It can be broken"
Angelina said. "It's just a piece…of paper"
Angelina
ripped the contract in half. It disappeared. Then a light appeared at
the table and the contact appeared fixed.
"But a spell guards it" Angelina said looking at the contract. "Break the spell and destroy the contract and you can have hope again. That one day you will be human. Live again"
(Cut to Buffy's Dream)
Doyle and Buffy sit in the desert. It is Night and the sky is full of stars.
"I remember this place' Buffy said looking around. "This is where I meet the first slayer. In this desert"
"Yes" Doyle said. "You answer is not a very short one. It needs to be explained which I don't think I will get to this night"
"Tell me, Show me anything just give me the answer" Buffy said.
"This evil isn't evil" Doyle said. "This evil isn't evil at all by books and minds of today"
"What do you mean'
Buffy asked confused.
"With the name it was given no one would
suspect" Doyle said.
"What?" Buffy asked standing up.
(Cut to the others)
"This is taking forever" Spike said walking around the room.
"I know and the muffins are like almost out" Harmony said looking in her basket.
"Ok just a little longer" Willow said
"We hope" Xander added.
"Hey, where did the monk do?" Dawn asked.
"That's weird, he was here a second ago" Wesley said.
The ground started to shake. Bits of the roof started to fall down.
"WHAT"S GOING ON" Dawn yelled over the noise.
"EARTHQUAKE" Xander yelled over the noise.
"WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE" Wesley yelled over the noise.
(Cut to Buffy's Dream)
'Tell me, what's the evil?" Buffy said. "What is it?"
The ground started to
shake
"This evil is…"Doyle said before fading away.
The whole place went white
"Wait" Buffy called
out. "Wait I'm not done yet"
Buffy woke up and looked around
he room. Angel picked her up and started to run out of the temple.
They caught up with the others and got out of the temple just as it
fell down.
"What happened?" Buffy asked.
"Earthquake" Angel said putting her down.
"Did you find what the evil was?" Spike asked.
"No" Buffy said.
"Well that was a waste of time" Spike said annoyed.
"But he did say that we wouldn't get to finish our night" Buffy said
"Right…" Spike said dragging it on. "Are you ok? You didn't bump your head or something on the way out did ya?"
"No" Buffy said. "The person I was talking to in my dream new there was going to be an earthquake. He new he wouldn't get to tell me what I needed to know".
"And what does this all mean?" Angel asked.
"This just wasn't some earthquake" Buffy said. "The evil made the Earthquake so we wouldn't find out who it was. It distracted us."
"I get it now" Angel said.
"We need more help then this" Wesley said walking towards the car.
"Where are we going" Dawn asked
"To an old friend" Wesley said.
"Who?" Buffy asked.
