Discuss:
"Greetings to you Miss Summers, and to you Ms Blake"
"Your journey I trust, was not hard to make"
"Allow me to introduce myself, Albus Dumbledore"
"I'd like to be the first, to welcome you to our shore"
#
They looked to each other, then looked around
Both would feel better, if they were up off the ground
Buffy and Anita, rose from the floor
Their eyes taking in, the wizard Dumbledore
#
In purple he was dressed, from his head to his feet
He looked quite imposing, but his smile was sweet
He had a long beard, and his hair was all grey
He stood in the light, of a single sun ray
#
Anita stepped forward, and stuck out her hand
"Thank you for welcoming, us to your land"
"Buffy and I were told, help you could give"
"If so we'd be thankful, as long as we live"
#
Dumbledore smiled, taking her hand in his own
In his blue eyes, a sparkling light shone
He said "I would be happy, to assist if I may"
"Allow me to show you, where you both will stay"
#
"For now you should rest, from the journey you took"
"Then around the castle, I will take you for a look"
He turned with a flourish, and led away with a stride
The Slayer's instinct was tingling, tickling her inside
#
Buffy just watched, did not offer her hand
Her senses were screaming, from the power of this man
She just wasn't sure, if she trusted him or not
Buffy would make judgment later, not on the spot
#
She walked out beside them, all three in a row
Down a spiraling stair, past a gargoyle they go
Passing through corridors, with pictures on the wall
The people inside them, were moving they saw
#
Walking down halls, and stairways that change
Seeing pictures that move, was really strange
They stopped at a portrait, which was also a door
"To open it speak a password", said Dumbledore
#
Anita glanced at Buffy, then "Vengeance" she said
That was also the word, which came to Buffy's head
The portrait swung open, and they stepped inside
Then took their first look, at where they'd reside
#
Stepping inside the room, while looking around
An elegant suite, is what they found
There was a main room, which was lavishly furnished
Full of dark woods, and brass that was burnished
#
Vases held flowers, which were in full bloom
Three doors that led off, from out of this room
Two went to bedrooms, and the bath was the last
The lighting was from candles, like out of the past
#
Anita said "Thank you, Professor Dumbledore"
"This is very beautiful, we could ask for no more"
Buffy had to agree, it was really quite nice
Though there was no sign, of any electric device
#
Dumbledore spoke, "It is my pleasure, to help ease your stay"
"We seldom have visitors, from so very far away"
"I'll leave you both to rest, and when you're refreshed"
"Join me in the Great hall, having some food would be best"
#
"Thank you, Mr. Dumbledore", Buffy spoke up
"We hope that your day, we did not disrupt"
"Please call me, Albus", Dumbledore replied
And as he turned, his robes swept to the side
#
"Anything you need, please both of you just ask"
"I will help all I can, in your dangerous task"
Giving a nod of his head, and with a slight smile
He walked out of the room, leaving them alone for awhile
#
A little while later, after they'd settled in
Anita and Buffy's, search did begin
They finally found, in the big dining hall
Dumbledore at the table, as he stood up to call
#
"There you are ladies, and exactly on time"
"I'd like you to meet, a fellow professor of mine"
"Severus Snape, is our potions master"
'His skill has prevented, many a disaster"
#
"Severus, this is Buffy Summers and Anita Blake"
"The "Slayer" and the "Executioner", so there is no mistake
Snape's eyes got slightly wider, as he looked at the two
Buffy had noticed, it seemed Anita did too
#
Snape looked these women over, both up and down
"I thought they'd be bigger", he said with a frown
"We get that a lot", Anita snapped back
His obvious hostility to them, felt like an attack
#
A feeling of darkness, was coming from Snape
As he stood there, wrapped in his black cape
It tickled her senses, which were tied to the dead
She stared in his eyes, as she tilted her head
#
Snape looked away first, and returned to his seat
Dumbledore had insisted, these girls he should meet
And though they were small, great power was there
He could feel it on his skin, crawling up under his hair
#
They all sat to dinner, and had a small meal
When it was over, Buffy asked "So, what's the deal?"
"We were told you could tell us, about this Voldemort"
"He's some kind of dark wizard, the real evil sort"?
#
Dumbledore was amused, However Snape appeared not
He sneered, "The Dark Lord, could kill you, both on the spot"
Buffy looked over at Snape, her eyes slowly going dead
Their emptiness convinced him, more than what she said
#
"Many have tried, but I'm still around"
"And they've all been planted, down in the ground"
Anita then broke in, adding her own part
She looked him in the eye, and spoke from the heart
#
"You do not know, what we're able to do"
"This is not the first evil, which out of darkness grew"
"He made a big mistake, attacking our families first"
"Now for his death, we both have a thirst"
#
Dumbledore spoke then, to break up the mood
He allowed Severus, to sit there and brood
"Voldemort was born, Tom Riddle you see"
"And as a young wizard, he soon came to me"
#
"He attended our school, and learned very fast"
"But always was troubled, by his unhappy past"
"He leaned towards the dark side, of the magic he used"
"Anyone who crossed him, was apt to be bruised"
#
"As he got older, and his followers grew"
"So had this obsession, I knew not what to do"
"He was looking for ways, immortal to be"
"To overcome death, was all he could see"
#
"He finally found a way, to not end up dead'
"His soul however, he had to shred"
"A sacrifice of life and magic's most dark"
"Is what it took, to protect his life spark"
#
"He split up his soul, hid the pieces away"
"We are trying to find it all, to this very day"
"As far as we know, for now he can't be killed"
"However by a Slayer, his blood has not yet been spilled"
#
The girls needed time, to let this sink in
To sort what they heard, think where to begin
The day had grown long, night coming on fast
They wanted a walk, since the grounds were so vast
#
Thanking the professors, for the info they shared
With all of this background, they'd be better prepared
They took their leave, to wander the night
And talk over what they learned, under the moon light
#
Anita and Buffy walked, into the wood
Following the paths, to where huge oak trees stood
They came to a clearing, and looking around
They both tensed up, when they heard a sound
#
Several loud pops, and men in masks did appear
Silver shaped as skulls, made to cause fear
Next to the men, three vampires stood
It looked like a bad night, to be in the wood
#
The biggest man stepped forward, boisterous and bold
His voice when he spoke, was angry and cold
"You have made this to easy", he said with a sneer
"My Master will be told, how you've been killed by Fenrir"
#
Buffy glanced to Anita, and then she looked back
Both of them ready, for the impending attack
Buffy spoke "So you are the leader, the one named Fenrir"
"You should not have come, to our homes far from here"
#
"Your friends may kill us, they are welcome to try"
"But for harming my family, I'm going to make sure you die"
Anita stepped to the side, to gain them some room
Knowing that the attack, was bound to start soon
#
The wizards moved first, their wands were brought out
Anita drew her gun, and then heard a shout
She got off four shots, but none were her best
She hit all three vamps, though none in the chest
#
She was hit by a spell, from off to her right
That caused her gun, to spin off into the night
She dropped low and spun, coming up ready for the fight
When she noticed a blur, of blonde hair in the night
#
Buffy was moving, almost too fast to see
Pummeling the wizards, she knocked out all three
She had all their wands, the wizards were through
With a flexing of her wrists, the wands were broke too
#
The vampires had recovered, enough to attack
Anita pulled a short sword, from down her back
The blade made with silver, the pommel traced in red
It sat in her hand, aching to take some vamps head
#
She had plenty of practice, taking a vamps head and heart
Buffy was pulling out a stake, to help do her part
Together they fought, back to back and side by side
Beheaded and staked, is how the vampires died
#
They then turned their eyes, to the one that was last
Giving him time, to reflect on his past
Here was the one that had caused, all of their pain
They savored the moment, soon he would be slain
#
Fenrir saw them come towards him, but could not believe
The total destruction, these girls could achieve
His options were zero, he could not run away
To report to his Master, he failed again on this day
#
His fate has been sealed, his mind is derange
He threw back his head, and started to change
They moved in as one, to finish this part
Buffy ripping off his head, Anita cutting out his heart
#
This battle was over, the ground drenched in blood
They both needed showers, to remove all the crud
They walked away in silence, and they both know
There is still one more battle, the worst left to go
