Ch11- Mission: Save the teenager's but don't get captured while at it
AN: For all of you that are still reading this even though you stay silent and are just alerting the story - yes you.
-Near Riddle's Place-
Buffy, Faith, McGonagall & Willow all slept in one tent while Angel, Spike, Xander & Wes slept in another one. Hagrid got his own tent though seeing as he was part giant. All of them were awaiting Draco's arrival so they could attack the now castle-like peninsula. The two slayers, souled vampires & Willow had heard the screams coming from the depths of the house that was about two football fields away from them. Sometimes they could distinguish whose scream and others were harder which was making them want to get the fight started already.
As they were asleep, this is why they never heard the deatheaters coming towards the girls' tent. They put a sleeping charm so none of the women could hear them come and take one of them. But the cloaked men never put a charm upon the guys' tent so when Angel & Spike heard something they went and investigated. All the vampires saw were some figures holding a bag while heading back towards the house. "Why do I have the feeling that those aren't the groceries they have?" Spike asked Angel. They then went to go wake the girls up when they realized who the deatheaters had taken: Buffy!!
-Hogwarts-
All the Gryffindor boys were all sleeping downstairs in the Common Room because they were exhausted & decided to sleep there incase somebody broke in, which was rare incident but happened none the less. But they had forgotten the minor factor that they had left their wands in their cloaks, which were on their girlfriends (or potential girlfriends) who were asleep in their own rooms. So when their own group of deatheaters suddenly attacked them all they could do was fistfight. They were all knocked into a world of darkness.
The next morning the girl's got up very happy because it was Christmas and had boy's who loved/liked them. So they headed down to meet them and wish them a 'Merry Christmas' what they saw shocked them a lot. The twins had almost matching bruises all over their bodies Harry's glasses were broken yet again & his nose bleeding still. Ron's arm was bending in a direction that suggested it was VERY broken. Ginny & Hermione immediately pulled out their wands and woke them up
"Please tell me that was a bloody nightmare Harry" Ron said groggily. The severely beaten boys then took a look around the room & discovered that it had not been a dream. The whole room was very trashed even more then after when they won a match against Slytherin "Oy, where's Oliver at?" After Fred's comment they looked all over the room for dear Scottish boy but didn't find him. They even looked on the Marauder's Map, but didn't find him. Hermione was beginning to panic "So you mean he was with all of you when you got slammed?" They nodded "I think we need to go and join the adults now because if they are getting us in here, then they must have taken somebody from their group because nobody messes with Gryffindor's, nobody".
-Camp near Riddle's-
"So you're telling me she's gone. Oh bloody hell!" Draco exclaimed after everyone told him what had happened over night. Everyone had now woken up & was wondering what to do. They had 9 hours left until Voldemort could his ceremony. It had to be done when the moon was out and high according to the information Wormtail told them.
"So now we have to save her, Dawn & Katie now. Not bad, right? I mean it could be worse," Faith said trying to brighten the situation somehow. Then a group of brooms came from above them & landed. It was the twins, Meredith, Harry, Ginny, Hermione & Ron. Willow then turned towards Faith and exclaimed "Faith, I think you totally jinxed it because they have 'we have even crapier news' looks".
Once all the teens were off the brooms George told them what happened "They came to the school & took Oliver. We thought Buffy would know… wait, where is she?" Spike then told them that she was taken as well. Then something scary snapped in Meredith. Her eyes then glowed like fire for a few seconds. Only Willow caught her "Meredith, can you come with me to get something. You know what they say, safety in number's"
She nodded & walked with Willow to the tent. "Yeep, this is definitely one of our crappiest Christmas but this is one of the curses of being apart of the Scooby gang". Xander joked to lighten the tension. It only made half of them laugh though. A few moments later Willow & the brunette potential returned. Everyone was silent for a moment while they prayed or thought on what they were about to do.
-3 PM inside -
Buffy awoke to find herself in chains and noticed her wrists were absolutely killing her with lack of circulation! She could also tell her hair was wet from what felt like blood but could not investigate without a mirror. 'Gee this is familiar…. there so has to be a psychotic guy behind this' she thought as she looked around & saw Katie, Oliver & a very beat up brunette that was Dawn if here eyes told her correctly.
"Hey Buffy, I probably don't look my best, huh?" When her sister spoke her voice was hoarse from all the screaming in pain she had done over the months. Katie & Oliver then noticed Buffy was there. Oliver's face fell then because Buffy was one of the big parts of Ron's plan. The two just exchanged a look that the teenage girls caught.
Before they could say anything else the door to the room banged opened as Voldemort and some deatheaters walked in. "Ah Good Afternoon victims – Oo sorry SOON to be victims... did you sleep well? Actually that doesn't matter since I am going to kill you in give or take 9 hours" Tom informed but mocked at the same time.
"So how is the ceremony gonna go down exactly? I just wanna know so when my friends bring me back from whatever it is I can do the same thing to you" Buffy quipped. The dark lord then walked up to her and slammed her into the wall that was jagged with glass. "And what makes you think you'll be able to come back? I am sucking the life out of all four of you…. I'll live for quite a long time if you're trying to do the calculations" He hissed while they squinted up their faces as one as if counting in their heads to calculate his lifespan.
He got closer and closer to her face as he spoke. He then closed his eyes and focused on it seemed, to observe her. Nobody said a word for a few moments so when he suddenly opened his eyes and let her go it startled them. "You got the wrong slayer! This one is not useful. She came back wrong as one would say" he then paused for a moment as if he was thinking on what to do now.
"But since you got her anyway take her to my chambers" He barked. Once they had left the remaining people began to panic. It took Katie what seemed like forever to remember her link with Meredith they had set up incase they were attacked again. 'Mer? It's me Kit-Kat. Well bad news, Volde-basterd got the wrong slayer. He will most likely go for Faith but there's a very small chance he'll go for you as… well you know. But at the moment he has Buffy being taken to his room or whatever. He was given off the wanting her vibe. So hope & pray nothing happens'. She then closed the link before he figured out what she was up to.
-Outside-
They were planning on what to do when Meredith got the message. Her eyes went glassy like then went back to normal." Uh guy's, Katie just sent me some even graver news. Dear Voldie has Buffy in his room and is trying to…interlock with her. It ends up they got the wrong slayer. They'll most likely come back for Faith but there is like a 5% chance that they could be coming for me but seeing as he doesn't know I'm a potential not likely"
Angel then cussed in what seemed like Gaelic but was ignored when Spike asked, "What can we do now?" Nobody answered since nobody knew
-1 hour before the ceremony in Voldemort's chambers-
His robes now uncovered him so you could actually see his face now which kind of took Buffy by surprise. He looked much younger then she had imagined, maybe it was the whole voice thing that threw her. His hair was dark and that just reminded her of Angelus almost because the whole evil thing and wanting to kill her.
He had actually tied her down to the bedpost and feet were hexed to stay down. Buffy was starting to panic as he made his way towards the bed in his silky jade boxers. He was looking with a dangerous look with a look in his eye she did NOT like at all, it reminded her all to much of everything that had gone on between Spike and herself all to recently.
"My dear, there is nothing you have to worry about at the moment. Nothing can harm you, well actually on my command or the flick of my wrist that can change" he said as he made her drink some blood red wine.
"Psh, yeah right. I'm currently tied down by a dark wizard who seems like he's trying to seduce me so he can just get some. So there's where I get the freaking out," Buffy said while looking into his eyes. Well to say that made him angry is an understatement. He flung the glass of wine above the bedpost making some of it hit her forehead so it was now dripping blood upon her forehead. He then pinned her suddenly further into the, what she would in normal circumstances consider comfortable bed.
"You shouldn't make me angry slayer. It will just make things worse for the both of us". She then got really scared but tried to hide it as she asked, "What are you planning to do with me?" He then leaned in & hovered above her face barely an inch from her lips "All of your worst nightmares". Her pupils then widened "Nightmares? I have no-"
Tom Riddle then cut her off with a passionate kiss as she tried to shove him off but her efforts were little to the Dark Lord who had much power over her.
-Meanwhile -
All the teens, Angel, Spike, Faith & Xander had dark robes on to make them look like deatheaters as per idea from Xander. Faith, Angel, Ginny & George went down one hallway that was split into 3. Xander, Meredith, Ron & Willow went into the middle one. Spike, Hermione, Draco & Harry went down the last one. They had all decided that Hagrid & Wes guard camp.
-Dungeon-
"THE LEAST Y'ALL COULD DO IS GIVE US A FREAKING LAST MEAL!" Katie yelled at the guards out side of the room. Voldemort had set all the other guards up there but the 2 strongest ones were of course with them. And it seemed that Katie, Dawn & Oliver were very hungry after not having nutrition for some amount of time. One of the guards was about to reply when he passed out from a great amount of pain.
"Wow, you lot are certainly hopeless. Asking for a last meal and not thinking we were on our way to save you. Shame on you" Spike jokingly mocked from the other side of the door. Hermione then cursed the door off of its hinges & they all walked in. Katie & Oliver looked very happy to see them. "Potter, you tell the others you had to save me & I'll never talk to you again" Oliver threatened. Harry just nodded & opened his chains with a mutter of a spell.
Once Hermione let Dawn out, the key walked up to a weary Spike & punched him with all of her strength. "That was for making Buffy's past year so crappy" she exclaimed. She then went and introduced herself to the others.
Draco went to help Katie and opened her locks. He then noticed all the cuts on her arms that were slightly faded and some bruises "Who did this". His voice was very cool. She then replied "Your father I think he said. They did the crush curse or whatever it's called". She then walked towards the others but tripped on something, Draco caught her around the waist when he saw her falling. The two stared into each other's eyes for a few good seconds until Spike interrupted them by saying "Ahem, I believe that we need to get you lot out of here before Voldemort comes around to collect $200". They all ran through the place until they escaped successfully and were at the campsite. Draco put Katie on a broom with Fred while Oliver was with Dawn. The four flew back to Hogwarts and only Draco was prepared with his wand "Let's go kick some Deatheater butt".
-The hallway near Tom's room-
Faith, Angel, Ginny & George had been walking for awhile & hadn't seen a thing since they had split off from the others at the hallway intersection. That is until they heard "Please… stop it… get off…" the person cried.
"Does that sound like a spur of the 'end of the world' moment to anyone else besides me?" George questioned. They then followed the voice until they reached a creepy set of doors. At the top of the doors were two snakes intertwining and hissing almost at anyone not welcome. They kicked the door down to see a very shocking sight: Voldemort was on top of Buffy. The slayer was now unconscious and Tom had a very pissed off look on his face. He started talking in parselmouth but Ginny did too thanks to a potion Harry mixed her so the snake got confused and just slithered off.
He then turned and looked at the young Weasley "Ah, Ginerva. How are you? I hope you didn't miss me too much now?" The only thing covering himself and Buffy was the bed sheet the group could tell from the material. Before Ginny could do anything Angel had tackled him and was hitting him with all of his might. The Weasley's that were with them then put a body bind on the Dark Lord. Faith then pulled out her staked and slew him. The adults then just stood there in anger & shock. Ginny then muttered a spell that automatically dressed Buffy again for her decency. They all left the room in silence as Angel pickedup his slayer and carried her out.
Shall post again when the time arrives - job just picked up again, srry. Hope this wasn't TOO dark, especially the last part. And don't worry I shall stop picking on Buffy now its part of my plan for Bangel :D and soon we shall figure what the new potentials deal is /are. Yes something IS going on with them and no they are NOT evil so throw me your theories.....
