Chapter 87

When Buffy woke up on Sunday morning she figured she'd give her friends a day to absorb what they'd seen. Even Selena seemed to be avoiding Buffy, but that was probably her imagination. Dawn might be avoiding Buffy, but that was nothing new. Buffy told Rupert Giles everything. He resisted the urge to say "I told you so." Giles didn't know who this "Angel" was, but promised to inquire with the Watcher's council. Giles was more concerned with the fact that someone seemed to be actively going after Buffy. Someone had brainwashed Dana into murdering potential slayers, even children and infants. When Buffy killed Dana se might've made herself into an even bigger target. They made Ford into a vampire, probably hoping that someone so new at this couldn't kill her old friend. Buffy and Giles decided to talk to Caligo's coven. He seemed to know about Buffy, hopefully he told his disciples something. They went to the cave where Caligo held his services. Much of that group was absent, particularly Warren and Amy. Violet was still there, but not happy to see them.

Violet: What do you want?

Buffy: I was hoping you could tell me about Caligo.

Violet: Okay, he was a hero. He gave his life to save innocent lives from being killed by fanatical Christians. I thought you might be confused since you claimed he kidnapped you.

Buffy; He did kidnap me, but I understand why he did it. He needed my help to stop them.

Violet: And yet you went along with the lie.

Buffy: I was scared, I'm sorry. But someone or something is still trying to kill me. I was hoping he knew, maybe told you something

Violet: Caligo's original name was Michael. Michael's sister Sarah believed it was okay to murder innocents. Her logic was that an innocent dies, the other God accepts them into heaven. Kill a child, spare it from Hell.

Buffy: That was Dana's logic.

Violet: Michael believed Dana might've been trained by Sarah

Buffy: Sarah's dead.

Violet: Yeah. Are all of her followers dead.

Buffy: I don't know.

Violet: I'm just guessing here, but that group would be my main suspects.

Buffy: Thank you.

Violet; Michael liked you, I don't. If you try to hurt my friends, this coven, you'll see him again real soon.
