Caleb/Corny

Willow/Phobos

"Angel!" Buffy cried as she ran to the vampire. He stepped through the glass, and picked up the brick that had smashed the libery window. Shrugging his apology, he place his arms around the Slayer. Giles just shook his head and turned back to the book.

"GILES, I FOUND SOMETHING!" Willow screamed. Everyone ran to the computer genuis and crowded around her.

"So someone update me on the news then." Angel grinned, his arms still around Buffy.

"Yeah, and me!" Cordy gasped. Xander had just pushed her into the table and knocked the air out if her.

"The Heart of Kandracur, whose Keeper is a 13 year old name Will. They, the Guardians of the Veil, battle against the evil Prince Phobos in Meridian." Buffy let out a small giggle.

"Sounds like something out of a comic, is this a joke?" Giles shook his head, "Then who the hell is this evil Prince Phobos?" She turned to Angel, who was over a thousend years old and had once been known as the evil vampire, Anglus. But he just shook his head.

Buffy frowned. The vampire was quiet tonight, was he hiding something from her? Last time he had been so quiet had been when she had first met him. He had spoken in riddles and confusing her, had enabled her to stay safe. And why hadn't he used the door? Hum...

"A heart? You mean, like that beating bloody thing in us?" Cordelia mumbled. Giles shook his head.

"The Heart of Kandracur is a ball of power encased in glass. It is surported by some special metal." He held up the book with the illustartion of the 'Heart'.

Angel tensed.

Giles then flipped the page to show a photo of six girls. Each girl wore a top and skirt just like the pixies Buffy had encountered.

"What do you mean? These girls are some type of... Slayer?" Xander grinned. Buffy's colour rose with anger, Angel gripped her shoulders before she lunged for him.

"These girls, but they're just teenagers." Angel started, "I saved that blonde one from Spike last night." Buffy turned towards him, her fists clenched.

"WHAT!" She fumed.

"Uh, Angel's in trouble." Xander sneered.

"Whoa, let me finish!" Angel stepped back with his arms up. "Last night I was looking for you Buffy. You told me to meet you in the alley at sunset. But you weren't there. I went through old Smith's house, tailing Spike, he got in through a smashed window."

"I thought vampires couldn't enter houses unless invited?" Willow quizzed. Angel nodded.

"That's true. But there was a dark skinned teenager there, I think she was to scared of Spike to say no when he asked her to let him in. She proble thought I was with him." Angel continued. Buffy shook her head.

"I left just before that I guess. I broke the window." Everyone turned to her, Buffy never made a mission more painful then it had to be. Shrugging she just turned back to the book. "So, whose Yah Lin then?" But no-one was listening now, outside the wind stood the five girls of whom they had just spoken about.

Everyone went silent as they listened to the girls speaking. An over head light shone down on them as the libery clock chimed 3am.

"Right, let's meet here tomorrow morning. I wanna check for portals." Will commanded outside the window.

"What time Will?" Irma yawned.

"7:00."

"Will! It's 3 now, school doesn't start till like, 9!" Cornelia moaned.

"That's my girl." Cordy whispered.

"Corny, after what you did you me tonight, you don't deserve to have a choice." Will explained. Suddenly the walls of the libery shook and there was a scream.

Then silence.

Thanks for not reveiwing! NOT! Please reveiw, no matter how terrible. Or I will not carry on...
