Chapter eighteen, dieing in a dream.
Killing lies time is hard but she came up high her heart a mountain her song a bird her lips an orchestra of song, ways of words simple and subtle she was infinity she was harmless but she was a tiger whose claws had been cut.
Kaiya felt exhausted her lips trembled in indignation to her surroundings, the futon she lay on splayed in blood the cage above her head filled with grotesque mutilated figures, much like she was looking into a renaissance painting. Her eyes closed she was naked covered in moss, part of the elements but still she screamed.
Kaiya woke she did not cry or bolt upright like you're meant to after having such a bloodcurdling dream, instead she rolled out of her warm bed and let her feet sink into the lavish carpet coating her dorm room.
It was another Monday morning she considered having some of her untouched Skiving Snack-box, but instead she resigned her aching body to another day of humiliating class work.
The after math of Halloween was still evident throughout the castle, she thought back to that life altering night.
A wave of red hair fell silky and vigorous, the enhanced sound of a hair band snapping reverberated round the circular room. Ginny glanced coyly to the boy beside her Kaiya followed her line of vision, the hair that had just fallen down Ginny's back was now brushing against the boys chest, along with Ginny's roaming hand .
His eyes rolled back and he whispered in her ear the word of consent, a match struck making an orange flame burst into life, it seemed larger louder than the normal sort as it was bought towards the rolled spliff in Ginny's lips. She took a long slow drag before offering some to Kaiya who bit her lip but took some any way.
The boy left them his waiter's apron billowing in the unseen wind. The room was round and full of their friends Deon danced with an exuberantly dressed girl in a corner, Tyler was outside failing to chat up Parvati who looked hazard and angry.
Vanessa and Aiden shared some unknown secret in the next booth but Conroy and Faye were no where to be seen.
Hogsmeade was packed with students on that moon lit night, they drunkenly screamed and openly kissed each other in the brash lights .Further into the picturesque village was a less pleasant road, this was where the Hogshead lay along with a grubby tattoo parlour whose favourite customer was Conroy.
Sitting in a leather chair was the dark haired Faye her newly pierced lip was throbbing, her belly button pierce was singing a callous tune but she new these two pains were nothing to how she would feel once her tongue was punctured with that metal stud.
Kaiya nor any of the others had any idea the two junkies were there, instead they were sitting in a softly lit tavern getting stoned out of their trees. But it seemed most relationships worked like this Vanessa was still painfully oblivious to who her dad was getting re married to and Ron Weasley was until that night ignorant of his sisters antics.
The five teenagers giggled their way back to the castle singing a tuneless version of "If you're happy and you know it." Ginny walked at the fore front a fire whisky bottle in her hand, the amber liquid was slopping over her ringed fingers and onto the pavement jauntily.
As they got to the chorus Ginny's tiny form slapped into someone's lanky body.
"Whoops sorry," she slurred.
"Ginny fuck is that you?" The boy said.
"Hay you know my name…Ron?" she pouted and tripped back a few steps landing flat on her ass, yes it was her older brother accompanied by his two best friends.
"Ginny what the hell! Are you drunk?" he yelled.
"Lil bit. Oof help me up would-yah?" She commanded. Ron heaved her up holding her at arms length he studied her disgustedly, Ginny thrust her chin up staring at him defiantly.
"Look at your self you're a mess!"
"A mess am I well I'm sorry Wonikins for having a life unlike some people!"
"You call this a life this is pathetic!"
"Pathetic look in the mirror you're so IMATURE you're the only sixteen year old whose never pulled, Merlin I bet even Neville has!"
Ron went a dark shade of pink but as he opened his mouth to reply, a laughing couple walked into the midst of them.
"Oh My God Faye? What the fuck have you done to your face!" Kaiya shouted at the tall girl.
"None of your business retard," she replied snappily. And soon the peaceful deserted streets were full of a hawed of emotional baggage as the three groups screamed at each other, from the outside unknown to all someone watched thankful that things were going his way.
Kaiya felt the tears welling up she felt so lost abandoned and had no idea when things had started to go so wrong in that magical castle, once she had felt safe there now she felt like she was in even more danger.
Dawn suffered the repercussions of her night on the town, Buffy had made her feelings quite clear when she had gotten home I don't mind you drinking with friends but if you binge drink ALONE that's another story. Dawn couldn't remember most of what Buffy said but she was now paying the price for being so careless.
She had an awful head ache, she was doing the washing up, and to make it worse, Spike was watching a seventies marathon on TMF full blast. But if that wasn't enough he was also having a fight with Angel, who during the seventies had been too tortured to care about bands, and was fighting for the remote control.
She sighed and threw down the cloth she was holding. On her way into the living room she collided with Willow who hurriedly told her she was going out for a while. Dawn shrugged, entering her destination she flopped down onto the couch moaning at the feeling of her aching muscles connecting with the soft leather.
"What's up Niblet?" Spike asked.
"Ugh everything."
"Know the feeling here let old seventies rock tunes do their healing," he turned up the volume and started singing along to "The Clash 1977," Dawn laughed and joined in at the chorus.
It was a lazy day, Lola came down stairs at about midday she looked like she'd been crying, and her hand was closed again, round her golden key necklace. Dawn didn't like to ask what upset her but she did observe that Lola never took of that necklace.
Faith joined them a little after that opting to make fun of Angel's new hair cut; everyone else was out on some mysterious mission so they were the only ones there.
"We're back!" Buffy hollered from the doorway in a sing song voice. She, Xander, Willow and Giles entered the peaceful living room; the occupants were all sound asleep. Dawn was laying spread eagled across the sofa with her head on Spike's knees, who had fallen asleep sitting up.
Lola was lying across a plush armchair and Faith and Angel were both sitting on the ground at opposite ends of the coffee table their heads in their arms.
"Hem hem, I had no idea it was so late I guess I shouldn't slam the door…whoops!" Buffy shouted out each word obviously then 'accidentally' slammed the door.
"I'm awake I'm awake!" Angel cried and lifted up his head, where a piece of news paper stuck to his cheek.
Everyone else stretched and grumbled, the clock chimed three a.m and all the inhabitants of the room were sitting down waiting for someone to explain everything.
"Ok basically we went out to find some flew powder and we got it!" Willow said excitedly.
"What's flew powder?" Faith asked raising her eyebrows.
"Ye know that green stuff Angel and Giles got from Mumble-pore and in the fireplace then they were like pop. Gone!" Buffy snapped her finger for emphases.
"Oh my god that's soooo cool we can go ANYWHERE!" Dawn shrieked.
"Yeah so now we can visit here and America without doing a thing, I can get my favourite dress," Buffy said looking proud.
"Wow we are so lazy, let's flew our way into obesity," Lola said snorting at her own joke. Everyone looked at her strangely, but was soon clambering to try out the Flew powder.
Unfortunately this was the last day when they would get to do nothing; Voldemort had immense plans that had not been fulfilled.
Darkness surrounding him, engulfing him. He spoke it he wished it he was complete shadow, reclining in the underworld, the underworld of his mind, aside from his red eyes an inferno of rage.
Voldemort new his name would be the only name the one uttered with fear and admiration, he had always known this and he was right. Now as he gave his orders to a horde of terrifying demons, even they quaked at his name. He was going to bring this world to its knees and those wretched little slayers were going to be the first to go.
Say a prayer now

Killing lies
Killing lies
Killing lies
First you're worried

Don't think that everything is gonna stay the same
That's impossible
Before I let you go
Let me look at you
Don't you worry
You will help me
Killing lies
Killing lies
Killing lies
Killing lies
Oh yes I know you're still
Oh yes I notice you
You are a friend of mine
You are a friend of mine
