Chapter 462
Buffy brought Dawn to Castle Dracula on Saturday May 4th. In her mind Buffy knew there were only 33 days until graduation day. She wondered if she'd see more strange things like this after graduating. Dracula and his friends were here. The Prince of lies, Lothos, assorted other vampires it seemed. Vincent was here, always the ditiful bodyguard. Giles said that Vincent had been part of a vampire duelist-cult that had been formidable in the 15th century. When their numbers decreased due to anti-vampire activity and pointless dueling they fell into the service of the Concillium Mortuum. As Buffy looked at this room, things had recently been moved, but this room was likely built to throw big parties. There was music playing, somewhat cheerful but it seemed depressing given their surroundings. As Dracula greeted Dawn and Buffy other guests arrived. Spike, Angel, and Darla. They went near Buffy, showing themselves to be on her side. For a moment the two groups stared silently at each other. Neither knew what to say exactly, neither group sure what the future held.
