BUFFY
It was as if time slowed down, she watched as the arrow flew in the air and head straight for Angelus heart.
'There I did it,' she thought 'no turning back now.'
Then why was she praying for Angelus to step out of the way, hold an arm over his heart. Anything! But he just stood there, grinning like an idiot. Seconds later, she found out why.
Inches before the arrow hit home, it hit some sort of invisible barrier, causing it to fall helplessly on the ground.
"How.." Thank god. Buffy muttered watching Angelus pick up the fallen arrow.
" Sanctuary Spell," Angelus offered, "kinda like a no-demon-violence thing!" He laughed loudly "Damn! Here I get a message from one of my lackeys saying that the slayer is out for blood, and you can't even hurt me!" more snickering
' Wills,' Buffy thought, ' can you here me? '
' yeah' she heard Willow respond in her head. After a moment.
' can you remove this sanctuary spell?' Buffy asked, her lips never moving. Her eyes never leaving Angelus, currently having a fit of laughter.
' I'll try ' was the response ' but I can't promise anything' Buffy nodded.
"Your whole life is like a crappy poem," Angelus continued oblivious to the exchange, "just filled with Irony" he spread his hands out to emphasize his point.
' Done' came Willows thought, and Buffy saw her chance. She took aim and fired the arrow directly into one of Angelus's outspread hands.
A series of outcries came from every direction. Angelus doubled over and cradled his injured hand.
"Thanks Will's" Buffy said out loud approaching Angelus, she stopped about 2 inch away and took aim again. "Last chance," she said, " Where's-- Dawn?"
"Maybe I underestimated you" said Angelus positioning his other hand on top of the protruding arrow."Maybe you can,"he yanked the arrow out ""Kill me." he closed his fingers into a fist, hiding the wound from view and causing Buffy to involuntarily wince. "But what good would that do little Dawnie? She'll still be dead." Buffy loaded another arrow into the cross-bow. " If my minions don't hear back from me, " he continued, " I've given them permission to eat her.."
"Shut up!" Buffy hissed
"And who could resist all that juicy slayer blood?" he continued
"WHERE IS SHE!" she screamed
"Your not asking the right questions Buff, your still not Asking The Right Questions!"
Buffy opened her mouth to retaliate, when the 2nd door, next to the one Angelus was leaning on opened.
Oh NO
