Chapter 9
The Klakarec Demon
"Anything yet, Giles?" Willow asked, looking up from the book that she was scanning for information.
"What? Oh, uh, no. I'm afraid not," he responded.
"Bloody demons aren't exactly well publicized are they?" Spike asked from the bookshelf.
"Obviously not," Giles told him.
"But just enough," Willow said, "Listen to this: 'The Klakarec demon is a purplish color and they kidnap young girls, which they have keen scent for, to sacrifice to their master, Klarstik, every year. If they don't have at least 13 girls, they are punished,'" Willow read aloud.
"That's definitely them," Spike said and added, "Sound like real nice guys, too!"
"I've read about them before, but they're supposed to be extinct." Giles looked over Willow's shoulder at the book.
"That's not all. It has a whole description on the sacrifice, which I don't think I want to read anymore of." Willow quickly gave the book to Giles, who sat down and studied the pages.
The door opened a couple minutes later and Buffy, Xander, and Anya walked in.
"Any luck?" Willow asked.
"No. Those guys do not leave tracks." Buffy collapsed in a chair. "What about you guys? Find anything?"
"Willow found out a lot on information of them. Willow, care to explain?" Giles asked.
"Sure." Willow told Buffy, Xander, and Anya what they found out.
"Where can we find them?" Buffy asked.
"Um, well, it says here they like to be underground and they usually build some sort of chamber, and they don't like wet places," Giles said.
"So, the sewers are crossed out. At least that's something," Xander said.
"My favorite color's purple!" Anya said and everyone gave her a strange look.
"Yes, but we must keep researching it. This book doesn't seem to say anything more about them." Giles got up to go get another book.
After going through her fifth book, Buffy got up and got another book, and then sat back down on the couch.
Spike, who was sitting over at the table with the others, got a new book and casually sat down beside her on the couch. Buffy didn't look up.
"Find anything?" Spike looked at her book.
"No. These guys don't like to be found. We need to start searching ourselves. I'm gonna start tonight. Do you want to come with me?" She looked up from her book at him.
"Sure. It's not like I've got anything better to do," he responded.
"Thanks." Buffy smiled and he smiled back.
Buffy got up and went over to the others to tell them her plan. Spike followed her.
"Me and Spike'll head out tonight," Buffy finished and turned to Spike. "Thanks again. Without you, I don't know what I'd do." Spike's face lit up. "You're one of my dearest friends," Buffy lied and Spike's smile faded.
She went over to talk to Giles and the others. Spike sighed and went and sat back down on the couch and opened a book. Will she ever love me? Spike asked himself. Little did he know, she already did.
END OF CHAPTER 9
This chapter was a little more interesting than the last one 'cause you find out about the demons and all. I liked this chapter a lot. I don't know why. I had fun making up the Klakarec demons. It took me, like, two days to come up with that name. It just popped into my head. Well, I think I'm going to go back to chapters 10-14 and re-write ita little bit, add some Spuffy in there somewhere, and I should be done with this story. Don't worry, I'm going to do a sequel. Not sure about what, but I will. Review please!
