Chapter Three

Much to the dismay of the four Scoobies, they heard a struggle going on in a alley nearby. Tara turned to look at Willows freckled face, and found a very frightened girlfriend. She didn't want to take Willow into the alley, but knew they might not be able to handle whatever it was in the alley with just the three of them. They might be in serious need of some Wicca power, and Willow was the gal for the job. Tara squeezed her lover's hand reassuringly trying to give her confidence, as they walked in the alley way.

Meanwhile in the sewers, the uneasiness of the complicated triangle was apparent in the silence. Gunn was getting fed up with this, to him it was getting annoying, and in the way of whatever baddie they were going up against. They should be planning fighting strategies not brooding over the past. "O.k. listen you three, whatever relationships were in the past apparently aren't together at the moment, so lets stopping acting like we're in high school and kill these suckers," Gunn twirled his axe, and marched ahead leaving the love triangle to trail him.

Buffy was unaware of the looks that Angel, and Spike were giving her, she just kept staring at the ground. So many things were going around in her head, and she couldn't pick out a specific one. Seeing Spike again brought back feelings she did not want to go back to. She had told him she loved him the day the hellmouth went down along with Sunnydale. It was true that she loved Spike, but not as a lover, as a friend. Angel on the other hand was a whole different story that she wasn't about to think about.

Buffy snapped out of her thoughts just in time to get hit by something falling out of the air. She jumped back on her feet, and got into her fighting stance. Gunn kicked the vampire from behind sending it in the water. Angel took it from behind it's neck, and tied it with the rope Giles had provided them with. Buffy got the other rope up, and tied it's hand together. She caught the vamp wincing from how tight she was tying the ropes, and only grinned. "For a vamp you're a quite a wimp," Buffy knew that pun was lame, but she was out of the punning loop. She hadn't got the monthly punning magazine in awhile. She laughed at her own thoughts, and went on to his feet.

"Ya know luv if you kill the bastard before we get any information out of him, this whole captive thing will be just a waste of bloody time," Spike spoke harshly as he took over, and dragged the vamp to the nearest dark corner. He didn't want any interruptions while they were trying to get the information that they needed desperately.

Back at Giles Apartment, Dawn was trying not to fall for this new boy. She found though that she was failing miserably. They had stopped researching hours ago, now they were making small talk.

"So let me get this straight, you blew up a whole town?" Connor asked excitedly. Dawn had been telling him about all the apocalypses that she had lived through.

"Ya that would be the jiff. Sunnydale is officially no more. Oh, and ummm did I mention I'm not really human?" Dawn caught the confusion in Connor's face, and continued "Well I am, but I'm not. See these monks made me from a ball of energy. And like three years ago the bitch of a god named Glory tried to use me the key to get her back to her home. As you can see from the living me, she didn't succeed at least the getting back home. The portal opened, and Buffy my sister died," she laughed at Connor's face.

Sure she was still dealing with the whole ordeal, but mainly everyone just found it really amusing now.

"Wow, and I thought I had a strange life," Connor laughed, and thought back to his last couple of years. They were anything but ordinary, but he really didn't want to just spill everything to a complete stranger. He liked Dawn though, maybe even more than a friend, but he knew in a few weeks he would be back with his mom and dad. He just didn't want to get attached to someone who he might never see again.

"Ya, well that is life on the hellmouth for ya," Dawn now smelt his cologne, she could stay with this guy forever.

Xander was the first one to go into the alley way, and also the first one to get punched. He fell down hard on his ankle, trying to ignore the agonizing pain shooting through his ankle, he stood back up. He could hear Tara in the background saying one of her chants, while holding onto Willows hand. Xander then realized someone was missing, Anya. Where was she? Did she even come in with them? He soon found his answer when she knocked the Demon out with her purse. Xander looked down at the demon who was now right by his feet.

"Geese An, what the hell do you have in there, a whole brick house?" Xander laughed at his own goofiness, and stepped away from the green faced thing.

"Actually, you're pretty close. The weight when hit would actually be close to the weight of a house. I had Tara put a charm on it, for extra protection."

Tara and Willow ran up to them asking if they were all right, when everyone made certain they were they pulled out Anya's cell phone, and called Giles.

Xander took the phone before Anya had the chance to speak. "Giles much to your gladness we found something," after a second Xander answered him, "Well it has a green face, and has a strange symbol on it's left cheek," after several yes's from Xander he hung up.

"Well the good news is we can go back to the apartment," Xander smiled hoping they would be happy, but it faded as soon as Willow asked "And what is the bad news, which we all know there is?"

"Well we have to transport his body to the apartment as well," Xander rushed on with the rest of his sentence after seeing the very against looking faces of his friends,

"It won't be hard though, Giles promised. We don't even have to actually touch it. All we need to do is have Tara and Willow work their mojo, so this body can be transferred to the house," Willow immediately shook her head no, while Tara just let her head drop.

Tara knew Willow didn't feel all that comfortable performing magic, but she didn't see any other choice. They couldn't bring the body out in the view of the public.

"Will, we have no other choice. We can't bring him out in the streets, and risk him waking up, and endangering the public," Tara kissed her hand, and smiled at her girlfriend. Willow frown turned into a smile, and shook her had in agreement. After several minutes of words that neither Anya nor Xander could understand, the body was magically transported. Giles telephoned immediately after, confirming the body had arrived.

"Let's just hope we don't run into anything else on the way home," Willow said walking out into the crowded streets of London.

Angel was surprised at how quickly they got the vampire tied up. He was strangely very weak. A quality that wasn't common in vampires. Gunn proceeded to stick a knife to his throat, while Buffy started in with the questions.

"Who do you work for?" Buffy really didn't want to be the one to interrogate the vampire, but since no one else was stepping up, she supposed she would have to do it.

"Like hell I would ever tell you. I'll die before I leak out a word to your pretty blonde head," the vampire shouted out, getting a very unpleasant punch in the face from Angel.

"Let's try this again, who do you work for?" Buffy was getting pissed now. She had a terrible case of jet lag, and just wanted to fall asleep.

"I work for the all mighty one. The darkest creature you will ever encounter. When he gets word of what you're trying to do, he will have you dead with a snap of his dead finger," Buffy wasn't surprised, he heard this from many vampires before. How their leader was the almighty one, the greatest one of all. Yet they had never defeated her, she is still standing here, while they are in the wind being blown around as dust.

"Listen now, I'm up to here with your bullshit. A sleepy slayer is an unhappy slayer, and right now I am very unhappy. You don't want to see what I do when I'm unhappy," she tapped her fingers on her hips while waiting for an answer.

Giles and Wesley were busily tying up the demon to a steel bar in the back of the apartment. They had Connor and Dawn looking up the name of the demon. Suddenly without warning the demon became conscious again. Thankfully he was already securely tied. Giles nor Wesley could make out the language he was speaking making it extremely hard to find out any information about who he or she was, and what he wanted.

Well I hoped everyone liked it! Also good luck to the person who is up next!
