Giles looked at a book inquisitively, occasionally scowling at Dawn who was dancing to extremely loud music.

Dawn mouthed the words as her body moved to the music. She looked like a famous singer in a music video.

Giles sighed in frustration as he looked up from his book, "Dawn will you please turn that off!" He yelled. Dawn glared as she folded her arms.

"Hey I'm just trying to have a little fun. Don't you watchers do anything besides researching and sipping tea and pointing and glaring? My god now I understand why Buffy makes fun of you so much. You're like a Human Textbook!" Dawn shut off the music as the watcher continued to glare at her.

He remarked, "At least I'm not listening to music that will melt my brain." Sipping his tea he looked back at the book in remorse.

Before Dawn could speak, Buffy came back from the basement red in the face. Instead Dawn laughed, "Spike beat ya up in there?"

Buffy turned even redder but to hide her embarrassment she said, "Spike has information for us. Seems this Teckra guy can be killed by some Amulet that starts with an 'O'. Any ideas?"

Giles shook his head, "No. But this does give us a helping hand. We should check an amulet book. If this as powerful as we think, Willow might be fine soon. Is she alright?"

Buffy drew silent. Her face could be read from anyone with at least half a brain. Her eyes looked down slowly and she tried to hide it with a smile but then came the tears. "I'm so sorry Giles. I don't mean to cry, especially when we half to work. But this thing is hurting her and it's taking her soul. Soon she'll be just like she was last year and we won't be able to stop her. I mean…what if she already turned evil? What can I do?"

Giles spoke in the calmest voice possible, hoping to reassure her that things will be all right, "Buffy, you mustn't fret over this. Willow will be fine and you know it. You're the slayer and you can hurt whatever this demon thing is. You've got a wonderful Gift. Now you must use it."

Buffy looked up, tears covering her face. Her makeup was smeared and it looked like she was still embarrassed. "I can't do this. I'm really losing it Giles. I don't even know yet how to kill the demon and my best friend is wallowing in her own grief. How can I possibly…oh I'm sorry Giles. I don't mean to act like this. Let's research this amulet and hopefully…Dawn why are you wearing my shirt?"

Dawn looked down at the white tank top she was wearing. "Oh. It went with my new leather pants. So I thought I'd borrow this shirt. You don't mind, do you?"

Buffy wiped away her tears suddenly looking at the stain near the bottom. "Hey! You spilled grape juice on it! How could you?" She walked quickly over to Dawn, "Do you know how much that shirt cost me?"

Dawn backed up, "Chill super-girl. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. It's one shirt.

Buffy sighed and picked up a book by her slumping in a chair. She was holding a book on jewels and amulets and she skimmed the pages sadly. "I hope this thing comes up soon. Hopefully within the next five minutes."

Giles shrugged, "Well these books aren't helping much as to how Teckra came to being so I don't know how far you'll get trying to find the amulet to---

"Wait here it is!" Buffy shouted so Giles could shut up and hear her out. "The Odeon stone. Used by the force of a slayer to kill the race of demon called 'Teckra'. Giles This is the amulet. Now all we need is to find it."

Giles pondered, " How will you use it?"

Buffy looked down back at the book, "Well it's a ring and if I put my fist through this demon's stomach it'll kill him automatically. Sounds kind of lame."

Dawn cringed, "sounds kind of messy and gooey. I wouldn't do that for fun."

Giles said, "Actually there is a different side to this. It is very hard to locate this demon, he only lives in places with very dark and dank fixture to them, I'm doubting he's anywhere in sight. If we're to find this demon we need flashlights."

Buffy smiled, "And information."

Buffy opened the door of the rusty looking place as she walked up to the bar with Giles and Dawn following after. "Do you know anything about a Demon named Teckra? Do you know if you've heard or seen anything about where he's staying?"

Willy the bartender looked around nervously at all the demons that were looking at the slayer up and down. "You know that you always coming her seriously is making my demons a little edgy."

Buffy sighed, "I just need the information Willy."

Willy thought about it then finally nodded, "Okay. Someone came in recently. A witch. She says how she wishes she could have made her revenge final but there was something in the way. A girl. So she says to me how she brought back to life a demon called Teckra. He's been living in this shack beneath the mall. But be careful if you're going there."

Buffy asked, "Will he kill me right away?"

Willy remarked, "Of security guards. They see you go down there they'll put ya in jail for sure. No one is allowed to go down there. Not even them."

Buffy smiled, "Thanks Willy. Oh and tell these guys that keep looking at me…I won't hurt em'."

Willy smiled as they walked away. "Come again." He said as he poured himself a beer and downed it.
