Chapter Four
Scooby Meeting
A few hours later everyone was at the library. Buffy sat at the table holding onto Angel for dear life. After they got to the library it had occurred to her that Angel could get this sickness and it scared her. Xander and Cordelia sat across from them. They were all researching. Even Buffy was researching. Which surprised everyone because Buffy was more for action then the reading. Willow and Oz sat at the computer looking for other cases of the illness on the Internet. Giles was at the counter on hold with the watcher's council.
"I got something," Willow exclaimed.
"What do you got Wil?" Buffy asked.
"It's not good. Two of our basketball players collapsed at today's home game."
"So what we know is everyone is dropping like flies but no one knows why," Cordelia summed it up for everyone.
"That's exactly what we know," Buffy said.
"I think I know of a book we could look at but it's back at my house," Angel said.
"I think it would help tremendously if you got it Angel," Giles told him.
Angel got up and walked over to the door but didn't make it because he collapsed onto the floor.
"Angel," Buffy yelled running over to him.
Angel started to shake. Buffy leaned over and tried to stop him from shaking. Everyone stood staring at them feeling so helpless. Angel finally stopped shaking.
"Buffy," Angel said before he lost consciousness.
Tears started to stream down Buffy's eyes. She turned around to face the others.
"Giles. What s should we do?" Buffy stuttered.
"I don't know what we can do. I think you should take him home and come back here so we can research this thing," Giles instructed.
Buffy nodded.
"Xander can you…"
"Sure Buffy," Xander cut her off.
With Xander's help Buffy got Angel out to Gile's car. Xander drove because Buffy didn't trust herself behind the wheel. When they got to Angel's mansion Xander and Buffy carried Angel up to his room and Buffy tucked him in.
"Xander. Is he going to be okay?" Buffy asked through clouded tears.
"I'm sure he'll be fine. He's a fighter," Xander told her.
"Thank you."
"What did I do?" Xander asked.
"I know you hate him. It means a lot that you could put your feeling's aside to help me," Buffy explained.
"I would do anything to help you. You know that right?"
"I know."
A/N: I know this was short. But I needed to get more things done before the excitement starts.
Buffy's joy is Angel and my joy is reviews.
