Chapter 6 A Mystery

Buffy lay in bed that night, tossing and turning. She couldn't seem to get comfortable. She'd been tingling every night. Tonight it was so bad that it was almost and itching feeling all over. She finally gave up on the idea of sleep and sat up in her bed. She looked around. Willow and Dawn were both sound asleep. She carefully untangled the sheets from around her and quietly stepped out of bed.

She glanced over at the clock. It read 11:39 PM. Buffy was well aware of the 10:00 curfew, but chose to ignore it. She was wearing pj's so she slipped into a pair of light blue sweatpants and a navy blue wife beater. She crept over to the door and quietly slipped out of the room.

She paused after exiting the room. She tried to feel which direction she should go. She finally decided to turn left and head towards the east wing, which was currently closed off for "construction and renovation purposes". Or so she was told. When she reached the end of the corridor, she tried the double doors. They were unlocked. ♦Odd...♦She thought. On the other side of the double doors was a ribbon of yellow tape reading "keep out". She easily ripped it in half and continued on to a small concrete sidewalk. She went left from the double doors, following the sidewalk until she started hearing strange noises. She stopped dead in her tracks and hid behind a wall. Peeking over the wall, she saw a courtyard overrun by vines and other various weeds. She couldn't see much. There was a thick, stickyblanket of fog surrounding the area. She could also make out two figures standing fairly close to one another. One had shackles and chains around it's wrists.

Buffy squinted her eyes and tryed harder to focus on the scene in front of her. She could see a cage with green vines twisted around the bars. She could make out something inside the cage. She couldn't tell if it was a human or not, though. She looked next to the cage and saw these...things slithering towards the cage

Buffy blinked her eyes in disbelief. It looked like something out of a warped thirty's horror movie. The things writhed and squirmed on the ground, crawling towards the cage in desperation. After staring for what seemed like forever, she turned to leave, seeing as the mysterious figures weren't doing anything new. She quietly tip-yoed back into her dorm and slid into bed. When she finally fell alseep, she had no answers for anything she saw.
