Hello Hello, first chapter of the year... (nervous laugh) ... hereI come with my handy pack of excuses, school, school, school, I have nothing else 'cause I doubt you'll care if my printing machine died, so I only have the lame excuse of not having time to write because of my lovely and adorable school. But, is not for the lack of ideas, I have tons inside ofmy little head, but I don't have the time to type them.
I quote myself on my profile:
"Chapter 25 miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight be a special... coughs twelve paged coughs... chappie if I have enough reviews, lately I've been having one review per chap and it's getting me well, even when I love writing this story 'cause it the coolest well sometimes we wannabe-authors like some reviews to know our job is alright. So if you guys would be kind and lovely to put some little words like "it sucks" or maybe " it doesn't suck THAT much" or if you want to be cheerfull "You rock" or "It's cool" or which ever it is the crazy idea running thorugh you dear readers heads, I would apreciate it A LOT!"
So guys I want to thank Allen Pitt, again for correcting my chappie. THANKS!
And again, I'm looking for someone who could re-correct the posted chappies, if anyone who has time could, please leave me a review with his/her mail. I'll get back at them as soon as I can. I have no time limit so anyone who thinks, I can't do it from one day to another, don't worry I give lots of time!

"They were different," The slayer confirmed. "Not like those I fight everyday with" She explained.
"Maybe I could help with that," Jonathan said appearing from one of the doors.

CONSEQUENCES:
Chapter 24: Secrets
"…how?" The slayer asked wincing once more.
"I…. well… I … omitted certain details before" Jonathan said uncertain.
"You what!"
"I didn't think it would be important… I didn't think he would be able to open it anyways," He continued hesitating a bit.
"Open what Jonathan?" The slayer asked seriously.
"La Boca del Infierno" Jonathan said.
"What's that?" Ron asked not understanding Jonathan's Spanish.
"He opened up the Hellmouth" Hermione whispered with her eyes full of worry.
"Who's he?" Buffy hissed.
"Warren… I mean, the first," Jonathan said
"How do you know he opened it?" Giles asked holding the slayer next to him.
"You know those creature's that attacked you?"Jonatahn asked hesitating. "Well we… when … when Warren told us about the seal, we… we decided to search for it… you know be prepared… we found out what came out from the hellmouth… they are called, Tur-"
"Wait" Giles said, "They came out of the Hellmouth?" He asked as if he was snapping out of trance.
"Yes, he's been saying that a few times now" One of the potentials answered smartly.
"The Hellmouth communicates this world to another, to hell," Giles continued not caring for the sarcastic comment. "The level of evil on that dimension is incredibly pure… almost primitive"
"Why is he heading out of the subject?" Buffy heard one of the potentials whisper to another.
"The creatures coming out of the seal, might be primitive forms of our own demons" Giles explained.
"So we might be facing primitive forms of demons, before they mixed themselves with humans?" Kennedy asked.
"Well yes, but I don't know if it would be right for me to assume that if these creatures are primitive and come from a hell dimension they might not even know about the human species" Giles explained cleaning his glasses.
"Then why would you want to bring those creatures here, if they wouldn't even know whom to kill?" Molly asked.
"That's exactly the reason why, they are the perfect lackeys" Jonathan said everybody just stayed looking at him confused. "They don't have enough knowledge to make decisions on their own so they always answer to someone, we thought we could be that someone"
"So your idea of making a world controlled by you did have some basis" Anya commented as she looked at the geek with her eyebrow perfectly raised.
"I wasn't the promoter of this idea, I first thought it would be stupid of us to play with that" Jonathan reasoned. "I … Warren didn't tell us what we were going to unleash, he didn't tell me… but I know now he told Andrew about it" Jonathan explained looking at the ground.
"So after you found out what was coming out of the seal what did you do?" Buffy asked gently.
"I questioned Warren about it, he told me I didn't need to worry, that everything was going to be perfect and at the end of this I would be the one victorious" He answered. "I won't deny it was quite tempting, but I was even more surprised of the way he sold the idea to me, Warren has never had a strong selling point…. But I didn't think about it too long, I was to engrossed by the idea of owning a whole world"
"Why did you need blood?" Willow asked.
"Well, Warren told us that to open the seal we would need blood….. But Babe wasn't enough; Warren tried convincing me of …" He bit his lip anxiously.
"of what Jonathan?" Xander asked impatiently.
"….of killing Andrew, but I couldn't!" Jonathan said sitting on one of the couches. "…I guess he was disappointed at me… because he asked Andrew to kill me…"
"How do you know that?" Hermione asked softly.
"Because when we were on the seal Andrew was almost able to do it, but he backed out… I didn't trust him since" Jonathan confided.
"What did you do after it?" Buffy asked.
"We decided not to tell anything to Warren but we would lie about killing a person, we could always go to the butcher's and ask for some blood, we could always put it on the seal, it would open and Warren would never know we weren't capable of killing a person" Jonathan said quickly.
" Then we found you" Willow continued and he nodded.
"We knew he didn't want you to notice our presence here, that's why we lived on the other side of the city, he told us what you did, your routine and all, so we would be careful enough not to bump into you" He said to the slayer.
"How long has he been watching me, watching us?" She asked softly.
"A long while… he talks about you as if he knew you from a long time ago, as if you two were …friends" Jonathan said torn. Everybody stayed in silence thinking about the information recently introduced to all.
"Do you know why he would need Spike for?" Buffy asked changing the subject. Jonathan looked at the slayer straight in the eye and nodded, he then looked at the potentials and the slayer understood the worried expression. "All the girls go upstairs," She ordered.
"But Buffy we deserve knowing about the first as much as you do!" Diane said angrily.
"I'm ordering, go now upstairs this doesn't concern any of you" The slayer replied coldly. "Dawn, you too" She added.
"You can't keep me away from this forever you know?" The teenager challenged
"I know I can't, but I will until I'm not able to anymore," The slayer challenged back.
"This affects my life also!" Dawn cried. "What concerns you concerns me also, you promised Buffy!"
"Buffy maybe…" Willow started.
"Let her stay then, I'm not going to preach anymore, I leave the duty to you Will" The slayer said softly before Willow could say something she continued directing to Mandy. "Do a barrier or something, we don't want any intruders to interrupt," She said.
"Alright" The witch said awkwardly.
"Why does he need Spike then?"
"He told us once he was collecting his army, he said he had some sides assured… he said the slayer would not come out of this war alive" Jonathan said remembering.
"What sort of army?" Giles asked.
"He never said so, I always thought he wanted to revenge his death… but I never thought he would be going for Buffy I always thought he would go for…" Jonathan stopped uncomfortable.
"Me" Willow answered. Jonathan nodded awkwardly.
"But he always talked about how he would create a world no one had ever imagined… sometimes I noticed he forgot to mention ourselves in that plan…" Jonathan commented.
"Did he ever mention anything about this army?" Buffy asked.
"I know for sure he counted on the vampires, he counted also to any demon that could come with the opening of the seal" He said. "But he was careful enough not to mention much to us, he never said anything about the army… he never explained how he had found it, I always thought it had something to do with when he died… I thought you had sent him to a hell dimension in which he met some people" He said to the witch.
"What about Spike?" The slayer asked once again.
"… When we came here, he mentioned once about how he was waiting and preparing a new weapon… something that would destroy you forever" Jonathan said to the slayer. "I suppose he was talking about Spike"
"He could have been talking about something else" Buffy said disappointed. "I think we shouldn't loose more time … I want you to make a locating spell, I have a clue of where he could have hide Spike, but I don't want to risk ourselves by going there without some hint"
"Alright" Mandy said again and she stood up. "Can I take off the barrier?" Buffy nodded.
"I think we need some time to rest, we are going to need all of our strength" Buffy said. "Tomorrow we are going to start gathering our selves, we are going to start preparing our own weapon" She said determined.
"And what will that weapon be?" Draco asked curiously. Buffy smiled and left without answering the question.
-
"… I might" Mandy said as she tried once again the locating spell. "But I understand if you prefer to stay away, the wand boys can give me a hand also"
"Alright" Willow said as she sat on the couch, it was the farthest to where Mandy tried her locating spell.
"So which of us will be the lucky guy?" Draco asked.
"I don't know, the first one that sits in front of me" Mandy said carelessly, she cleaned the map for the third time in the morning and she put it in front of her, she looked up to see the space still available. "Any volunteers?" Ron looked uncertain and Harry was simply not paying attention so dismissing them both Draco sat Indian style in front of Mandy.
"So do I need to say anything?" Draco asked. Mandy tossed him a book.
"Open it where I put the feather" Mandy ordered, and he did just that. "Alright, guys do I need to repeat any warnings?"
"No interruptions" Ron said.
"No loud sounds" Harry continued.
"No sounds at all" Mandy corrected. "We have a newbie here," She signaled Draco with her head "so for him the concentration can be lost easier" She continued. "So I will ask you all to leave the room, and one of you please make a barrier on the room, Willow if she prefers"
"I'll do it" Willow agreed and everybody went out of the room closing the door after them.
"Barrera Fortis" Willow muttered and she felt the energy covering the place.
"What's that?" One of the potentials asked as she took another bite of her sandwich.
"A barrier," The slayer answered as she imitated the potential's actions. "Nobody goes near that room, got it?"
"What happens if we do?" Another potential asked looking curiously at the closed door. The slayer smiling devilishly.
"Nothing pretty", They said continuing her eating.
"…Nothing pretty how?" The potential asked.
"How how?" The slayer asked after taking the last huge bite of her sandwich.
"… How pretty?" She asked.
"Nothing" The slayer said immediately. "The point is, don't touch that or you'll answer to me"
"She could have said that from the beginning" The potential muttered as she went upstairs.
"Slayer hearing!" Buffy yelled and she smirked. "So girls, ready for touching pointy things?" She said to the rest of girls waiting for her on the living room.

"Here it is" Mandy said pointing the x on her map.
"It would look like a treasure map if it was more… yellow… or older" Dawn said as she sat next to her sister on the dinning room.
"Are you sure?" Buffy asked.
"I can't double check it" Mandy said pointing at the pale Malfoy.
"Can't you drain Harry or Ron?" Buffy asked sweetly and the named ones glared.
"So that's all you have" Mandy said. Buffy meditated for a second. Moved the map a couple of times.
"… Buffy?" Dawn asked.
"Yes?" Buffy answered snapping out of concentration.
"What are you going to do with that?" The teenager asked curiously. The slayer smiled once again.
"You'll find out in the near future" Willow answered.
-
"I'm not sure about this Willow" One of the potentials near her said obviously frightened.
"There's nothing to be scared of" Willow said.
"What about those creatures, the ones Buffy couldn't fight off?" She asked. "They could have killed her in matter of second if we had stayed there longer"
"But they didn't" Willow answered hesitating slightly. "Buffy is strong she won't die that easy" The witch said smiling a bit.
"Do we have to do this?" Another potential asked.
"Are we being forced to?" The first one asked.
"I suppose not" The witch said uncertain. "Don't be scared girls" She encouraged. She then started to walk and as the potentials saw her they saw how she looked mentally absent.
"What is she doing?" One of the potentials hissed to another one.
"She's probably lost and doesn't want to let us know" Another one answered.
"Don't be stupid, you dwarves…" Molly preached looking with admiration at the witch. "She's mind speaking"
-
"How so I have to be with you?" Draco whined for the third time.
"Shh" Xander said. He helped one of the girls jumping over a fallen trunk. "Don't worry next time I'll ask Buffy for different partners"
"Good" Draco said. "Hum, Xander?" He asked after a while. "Do you think Mandy and Buffy are right?" He asked softly.
"I trust Buffy" Xander answered.
"But do you think they are right about this place?" Draco asked.
"Why are you doubting? You saw it for yourself, this is where you found him" Xander answered.
"Actually it looked nothing like this…"

tina7610813: Lol, thanks a lot for reviewing this last two chaps! You are the coolest!
lightdemondarkangel: OF COURSE I DO! How could I forget one of my fab reviewers! When you told me you couldn't review anymore I was like... awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww no! .. but being the selfish inmature girl I am I got over it and understood your lifes can't be around reviewing my story, and boy! was that hard! Lol.
The Turoks appeared already, but they might not appear in like two chaps (counting this one).
The Brown person... (smiles innocently)... he's just a watcher (grinns and a halo appears on her head), why do you ask so? (the halo falls and two little horns appear) MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.You'll find about him on th next chapter.
Kennedy/Willow, I doubt it cause I suck on writing about them, I tried in one or two chaps before this one before I realized I really suck about K/W, plus Kennedy is way too bossy for my taste.
And well, I love annoying potencials, I mean it's fun to be annoying, I love it... my sister doesn't but well, she has to deal with it! So as you see I missed you A LOT! see my poor empty box of reviews, (cries) if it wasn't because the Author's Alerts are intact I would start getting worried. THANKS A LOT FOR COMING BACK! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY
