Chapter 8:
As Dawns face fell in confusion and disappointment as she thought
Where's Buffy? Why didn't the spell work? And what's Angel doing here?

She looked at Angel in surprise and was about to ask what he was doing here but Angel looked around the room and asked, "Where's Buffy?" before Dawn could.

"Oh great, Nancy Boy's here." Spike muttered under his breath.

"Uhh, Willow replied confused, "hi, Angel. Buffy isn't here right now, we were doing a spell to get her back but it didn't work."

"I think I can explain that," Pheobe replied. "We did a spell to summon the Slayer, but I bet the wizard knew we were going to do that so he must have put a magic force field or something around Buffy so the spell wouldn't work on her."

Everyone nodded in understanding except Angel still looking a little confused. "Who are you?" he asked the Charmed Ones.

One they had explained the situation of the Charmed Ones coming to aid the Slayer and Buffy getting captured and why they had performed the spell, Angel then understood and asked "Do you have any idea where they took her?"

"If we did, do you think we'd be sittin here?" Spike quickly said annoyed before Willow could answer his question.

"Spike, what are you doing here?" Angel said angrily.

"Wh-" Spike began to answer but was cut of by Willow yelling "Will you two knock it off? We have to help Buffy right now but if you two cant work together than leave!"

Angel and Spike nodded as they sent each other evil glares across the room.

"Angel, not that I'm not glad and all to see you, but what are you doing here?" Willow asked puzzled.

"In LA, Cordy had a vision and said it was gettin pretty bad down here so I came to help, she also said that if we don't stop this Camazotz, he will take over Sunnydale, and maybe even other cities, who knows."

Once they had all processed this information, they all started brain storming plans.

Buffy's cell: As Buffy sat in the corner of her room, with the dim light flickering on and off in the centre of the ceiling, she looked around the room looking for any possible way of escaping.

Damn, these guys are well prepared, I'll give em that. She thought as started to stretch her arms and legs trying to get the feeling back into them as she stood and went over to the bars at the front.
Their she saw two vamps, one on either side of the bars holding, what looked like, long poles and she could only guessed were to electrocute her if she tried to escape.

She tried bending the bars but found they were to strong and she couldn't bend them, she then turned around to see if she had a window, but found there was no window which was probably in case the sun light was to kill any vamps.

She then looked inside her jacket for Mr. Pointy but found the vamps had taken away all her weapons.
She then sighed and looked around the room to see if any thing was made out of wood but found everything was made out of metal and was welded together so it couldn't be broken and used as a weapon.

She then sighed once again and paced the room hoping that these vamps had kept their promise and didn't hurt Dawnie or any one back at the Magic Box.

She then heard a door open and she quickly moved up to the bars to see who had come.
She then saw a door up the isle of empty prison cells and saw another two vamps coming her way.

"Hey, where the hell am I?" She demanded angrily.
When no one answered she yelled, "Answer ME!"
Still, no reply.

After a while when she still didn't have any answers to her questions, she gave up yelling at the vamps and sat down to think of a plan. She then realised, if they wanted to keep her alive, they had to feed her which means they would have to open the bars, then that would be the only time she could get out of here.

A couple hours later, the vamps, plus 2 more which came with her food, stepped up to the bar and said, "Move up to the back of the wall, now."
Once she had, one of them opened the door while the other watched her to see if she was going to try to escape.

Once thy had entered the cell, the vamp holding her food came and put it onto the floor, he then turned around and started toward the exit but was to slow to move when Buffy ran up beside him and shoved him so he fell half in half out of the cell door so the vamp desperately trying to close the door couldn't do it quick enough so that Buffy couldn't escape.

As she ran out of the cell bars, she was instantly met with 3 vamps, and the one that she shoved just getting up, surrounding her.

She then saw them raise their weapons, which electric shocked any one touched by them, and them start to move in closer.

She tried to the one which the still unbalanced vamp which she shoved had in his grasp but realised that was a big mistake because she had turned her back onto the other vamps and had given them an easy target to shock.

As soon as she turned, she felt bright, hot pain course through her body as she fell to the floor.
She then heard one vamp say "Nice try" and then she slipped into blackness.

---
Oh god, my head is killing me. Buffy thought as she awoke lying on the cold, hard concrete of the floor in front of the cell bars.

Just as she was coming to, she heard a loud bang and realised the door at the end of the corridor was being opened.

She quickly closed her eyes and pretended she was still out when the two vamps guarding the door turned and bowed to, what looked like through her squinting at the figure incase she gave away that she was awake, the wizard from the Magic Box.

"We need to assemble another team as our Seer has had another vision, she has seen that there is a vampire in town. Not any ordinary vampire, because this one has a soul, and he and this Slayer's friends," He looked at Buffy "plan on rescuing her. He is also supposed to be a 'champion' of some sort and is well trained in combat. If he is as formidable as his reputation is, I would like you to set up another cell incase we manage to capture this one as well."

The vampires then nodded and bowed as the wizard left.
Buffy lay there taking in all the new information. So Angel was back in town to help rescue her and Camazotz also wants him captured.

At least her friends had Angel to protect them, not that they didn't have Spike to protect them, and also the Charmed Ones. But what if the wizard also binds Piper's and Phoebe's powers and captures Angel? She trusted Spike but she didn't think he could face all of Camazotz followers alone.

"Okay, so if we've got everything sorted out, grab some weapons and lets head out." Angel instructed the team as they got ready to go rescue Buffy.
