N.F.A: Wow look another chapter within a week of posting the last one. I must be ill. Ha ha ha. Actually I'm just trying not to keep people waiting as long as the last one. Also I want to start a Harry Potter story but I can't until I've finished this one. I have to warn you this may be the last chapter for 3 or 4 weeks because I have my exams coming up and I need to start my revision. Enjoy, Natalie.
Disclaimer: I don't any of the characters yada yada yada, they don't belong to me. I only made up the plot and the vamp/orcs.

Buffy once again was shut in her prison room. She was glad for a chance to sit down and gather her strength. Now she could finally figure out a way to get out of here. If she could just get a message to Giles she would be able to leave. "Now how on Earth am I going to contact Giles," Buffy sighed. She sat down on the bed by the window and lowered her head onto the pillow. She really was quite tired and they weren't going to need her for a little while.
Buffy could tell that she was going to be in the room for a while since the arrival of the hobbits. "Whatever they are" Buffy though. She had been rushed back here under the orders of Lord Elrond. Something had obviously happened. Something important. They were going to be a while.
Buffy closed her eyes and felt herself relax. "Hang on," she told herself, "if they are busy then now is the perfect time to escape." She opened her eyes again, "I can't expect to fight well with little energy. Cleaning all that weaponry really wiped me out." She felt her lids grow heavy and she closed her eyes again and drifted into a deep sleep.

The Magic Box was dark the only light came from the back of the shop. The ground that Buffy was standing on was shaking. Buffy looked up from the floor to the back of the shop, where Willow and Tara were crouched on the behind the burning candles. Giles sat around from Willow and next to him was a man Buffy had never seen before. He was reading from a large book on the floor in front of him. "A spell," Buffy thought. Between the four of them a bright light was shining. "What are they doing?" The hairs on the back of Buffy's neck stood up, her spider senses were tingling. She spun around quickly she could see a shadow sliding across the window of the shop; it wasn't human. "Willow," Buffy whispered, "WILLOW!" Buffy turned and ran to the back of the shop. "Willow stop this spell," she reached down for Willows shoulder but her hand passed right through her. The demon exploded through the Magic Box door. "Do not stop chanting Aragorn," she heard Giles cry. The Magic Box began to fade from Buffy's sight. "Aragorn?" The shop darkened completely and Buffy could no longer see Willow or Giles or the demon. "Aragorn," she thought again, "where have I heard that before?"

Buffy sat upright on her little bed. "Of course," she whispered. She glanced up out of the window. The sky had darkened in a haze of greys and purples. "How long was I asleep?" she asked herself. She slid her legs over the side of the bed and stood. She brushed herself down smoothing the creases that had appeared on her dress. Once she was ready Buffy moved over to the door. Knocking on it she called out to the guards, "hello? I could really do with a drink in here," she waited and there was no answer, "Hello? I need you to come here so that I can start my escape plan." There was still no answer. Sighing loudly Buffy looked up out of the window on the door. There was no sign of the guards anywhere. "Oh boy. They're just going to leave me in here to starve," she stepped back onto one leg and raised the other kicking the door hard. It creaked a little but it did not open. She tried again but it still did not budge.

A shadow danced along the walls, slipping unseen over every painting and pillar. It moved along the empty corridors of Rivendell and descended a staircase. The sound of footsteps echoed along the deserted building. Turning a corner a loud thumping could be heard. "So she's still alive and trying to get out," he thought, "that's good." He pulled keys from his pocket as he reached the door. Selecting the right one he pushed it into the lock. The thumping behind stopped and he pushed open the door.

Buffy heard a clanging noise from the other side of the door. She lowered her leg and stepped back into the shadows breathing lightly. The door swung open and a figure stepped through the doorway. She rushed forward and knocked the figure against the wall locking her elbow she held her arm up against the figures throat. "Lady Buffy," he squeaked,
"Huh?" Buffy asked,
"Its me Boromir," he gasped,
"Boromir?" she looked at the figure against the wall and saw the familiar eyes, "what's going on?"
"Can't...........breath........"
"Oh!" she lowered her arm from his throat and stepped back.
"We can't talk here we have to move," he said rubbing his throat,
"I'm not going anywhere until I know what is going on," she said firmly,
"Lady Buffy, I need your help," he turned and walked out of the room.
"What? W..Wait a minute," Buffy called, she chased after Boromir, "help you with what? You lock me up and then.......WOAH!" Buffy caught her foot on something on the floor and flew onto the ground. She landed heavily with a groan. She looked back to see what had tripped her. In the middle of the floor was a body. She crawled over to it and pulled it onto its back. "What?" she said allowed, "A vampire?"
Boromir moved over towards Buffy and the body, "You know what that is?"
"Yes," she said, "its a vampire, but this one is different,"
"Different?" He asked,
"Yes," she looked at it carefully, "this one is dead but it has not turned into dust."
