"Willow, I cannot believe you would do something so irresponsible! So stupid! So! So...!" When Giles couldn't come up with another word, that's when the Scoobies knew he was absolutely furious.

"How many times can I say I'm sorry!" Willow yelled back defensively. "I don't know what went wrong. Maybe I misread the spell or something."

"Well look at it this way Giles. At least she wasn't sucked into Faith's gift," Oz said with a small laugh and only got a stern look from the Watcher. He stopped laughing and gulped. "So how exactly are we going to get Buffy and Xander out of there?"

"I don't know. I have to figure out what went wrong with the spell first. And even if I do, there's no telling if I can undo it. From what I read, the hex won't lift until Buffy is finished with the books," Willow explained.

"Well you guys better get cracking. Bye," Cordelia said starting to leave.

"Not so fast, Cordy," Faith said grabbing her as gently as possible. "You're staying to help us."

"Fine," Cordelia sighed, but secretly hoped that Buffy was ok too. She didn't express the thought, however, because she knew she'd never hear the end of it from the rest of the Scoobies if they ever knew.

Xander was lying on the cold, wet ground. His chest rising and falling with each heavy breath he took. Something attacked him, but it moved too fast for him to see what. All he knew was that thing had cut into his chest. He inspected the wound further and counted his blessings that it wasn't any deeper than it was. Why didn't it finish him off though? Did it want to play with him a little before killing him? As Xander pondered his predicament he heard something rustling through the trees again.

"Buffy! Please tell me that's you!" He called out and only heard what sounded like someone laughing.

A woman who looked a little older than he did stepped out of the shadows. She had pale white skin, blood red eyes, and red hair.

"Who are you?" He managed to ask. The girl looked him over and knelt in front of him.

"My name's Victoria," she answered looking at his chest injury. She rubbed a hand across it and then licked the blood off her hand moaning at the taste.

"Great. A vampire," Xander groaned.

"You know of my kind? You don't seem very frightened," she said sounding disappointed.

"I've seen plenty of vamps before; though I do have to say you're one of the prettier ones," Xander said making Victoria smile a little. "So what are you waiting for? Aren't you going to kill me?" He asked.

"Not yet. I have to wait for a few of my friends to get here."

I wish my friend would get here. Buffy where are you? Xander thought as Victoria continued to look him over.

He started to get an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach when she licked her lips. If there was one thing Xander knew about vampires, it's that when they were around fresh blood, they had the will power of Winnie the Pooh in a honey tree.

Ok, screw this, Xander thought and threw a punch at Victoria's face. It connected and he felt his hand nearly break.

"AH! DAMN IT!" He cried out.

"That was a mistake, human!" Victoria yelled and prepared to bite his neck when she felt herself being roughly yanked off Xander and thrown towards a tree. She flipped in the air and grabbed onto the tree to avoid crashing into it. She looked behind her and saw Buffy aiding Xander to his feet.

"Nice throw," Xander said to Buffy.

"Thanks. Are you alright?" She asked noticing his chest wound.

"I'll live. Just stake the red haired bitch so we can figure out what happened to us," Xander said leaning back against a tree. Buffy reached into her back pocket, but realized she didn't have any stakes as Victoria jumped off the tree and approached her.

"What are you? You look like a human, but there's something different about your smell."

"I'm the Slayer. Nice to meet you," she said taking a fighting stance, but Victoria just look confused.

"What's a Slayer?" She asked.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me. You honestly," but before Buffy could finish her sentence Victoria charged her. Buffy charged too, but she felt the wind nearly get knocked out of her as they collided and slid through the mud. They struggled for a moment, but Victoria managed to pull Buffy to her feet and tossed her at a tree. The right side of Buffy's head clipped the tree and she crashed back into the grass.

She rubbed her throbbing her and saw blood on her hand. Victoria started to run at her again and Buffy leapt up kicking out her leg. It connected with the side of the vampire's mouth launching her back. Victoria slid in the dirt, but sprung up in seconds. Buffy ran at her and shoved her into a tree. Victoria shoved Buffy back and threw out several punches. Buffy dodged the first few, but Victoria landed a hit to her gut and Buffy staggered backwards.

Victoria charged her again, but Buffy gathered all her strength and threw out an uppercut as Victoria ran at her. It connected with Victoria's chin and sent her crashing against a tree nearly unearthing the whole thing. She landed back on the ground mildly dizzy and Buffy rushed her and threw out another punch knocking her a good distance away into the darkness.

"Come on Xander! That won't keep her gone for long!" She yelled to him.

Xander moved off the tree and he and Buffy raced off into the forest. Meanwhile Victoria landed several feet away from them and wiped away some of the mud on her face; smelling Buffy's scent moving away

There was no mistaking that she wasn't like most humans. But what is she? Victoria wondered before chasing after them.

"Do you think we lost her?" Xander asked as they continued to run. Buffy looked behind him and her eyes widened.

"Run faster!" She ordered him. Xander looked over his shoulder and saw Victoria leaping from tree to tree. "Keeping running and don't wait for me!" Buffy ordered.

"Are you serious!?"

"GO!" She yelled and then ran at one of the trees.

Buffy leapt at the tree and pushed her legs off it launching herself at Victoria. They collided with one another again and made a loud crash into the ground; Victoria on top of Buffy. She slammed down her fist at Buffy, which she dodged. Buffy wrapped her legs around Victoria and threw her off her into another tree. She recovered, but slightly slower this time.

"Why won't you stay down!" Buffy shouted and then Victoria sprinted at a speed Buffy almost didn't have time to react to, just barely dodging Victoria's next swing, which still clipped part of Buffy's cheek.

Victoria was suddenly behind Buffy and slammed her back to the ground, but before she could do anything else, Xander suddenly appeared and slammed a small rock against the back of her head, which just broke apart on impact. She lashed out again sending Xander flying and hitting the side of a tree. He gasped and his vision briefly went in and out from the impact.

"XANDER!" Buffy cried and jumped back to her feet.

Victoria attacked her again and Buffy dodged her next punch, which took out part of the tree behind her and then snatched Vitoria's head, slammed it into the tree, and kicked her in the chest. She threw another punch and Victoria let out an almost feline hiss a she felt part of her body almost crack.

She sprinted at Buffy with her vampiric speed again, but was slightly slower and that gave Buffy all the time she need to react. They launched punches at one another almost simultaneously, but Buffy was quicker and hit Victoria's arm.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed as her arm nearly snapped off from Buffy's punch.

That's-that's not possible. No human can harm me! Victoria panicked in her mind. But it had happened. Somehow, someway, this girl had hurt her. And when she saw Buffy was ready to continue fighting, Victoria grit her teeth, took a few steps back, and retreated into the dark forest.

Yeah, you better run, Buffy thought then walked over to Xander.

"Can you stand?" She asked while helping him up.

"Yeah," he said and quickly started to fall. Buffy caught him and held him up.

"Come on, Xander. I think I can see the road from here." She supported him up and started leading them towards the edge of the forest. "Though I had everything under control, thanks for coming back for me."

"Anytime," Xander said as they exited the forest.

They came upon the road and as luck would have it, they saw a truck coming. Buffy briefly let Xander stand on his own and ran out into the street waving her hands to get the truck to stop. To her relief, it started to slow down and pulled over to the side of the road. A girl who looked about Buffy's age stepped out of the truck with an umbrella.

"Are you two alright?" She asked.

"Yeah; just fine," Xander groaned and then fell to the ground.

"Oh my God! Xander!" Buffy screamed running to him. His chest was bleeding a lot worse than it was initially. "He needs a doctor!"

"Get in! I'll take you to the hospital!" The girl said and helped Buffy get him into her truck.

"Thank you so much, Miss...?"

"Bella. Bella Swan."
