Chapter Eleven

Chapter Eleven

As Buffy entered her house, she decided just to take it easy and flopped down on the couch. Doing so dislodged the papers that described the injuries that Xander had, and she saw for the first time, in Angel’s handwriting, what had happened.

“God this list makes me look really really bad. If they see this the Council will have no reason not to find me guilty, I need to do something about this. Maybe if I write my report explaining what and why I did what I did, then I might have a chance,” Buffy said out load. She did not realize that doing so might make it look worse for her.

So instead going out to check on the new Master, she began writing her own report to the Council. She planned to give it to Giles to send in with his. She left nothing out; from her feelings about Angel to her final act of screaming at them in the library this afternoon. She wrote of love, anger, and betrayal all perceived by her, and what she thought of as true love.

Willow walked towards the library. She noticed that she felt different, as if she was out of touch with things around her, that she was one step off from everything else. Then she realized she was. She had relied on her magic for so long that she forgot to remain connected to the earth that the magic came from. The earth and all its plants and animals were strangers now, whereas before they were friends and guides. Maybe she needed this to guide her back to the path she needed to be on. Smiling sadly, she entered the library.

Xander sat in the library. He was supposed to be reading. He had no idea about Buffy, but he could feel Willow almost make it back to the beginning again. Just a little more time, and she would be ready to start again. This time he would summon another priestess to help in her training. Jenny started, but she died before she even got a good start. He smiled in joy knowing that at least his oldest friend still might be saved, at least he hoped.

Angel looked over at Xander and noticed he was smiling mysteriously, and shrugged it off as something magic users did, for Dru would do that on occasion. He just wanted to get the boy alone and finish the make out session they started, not all the way of course, but there were other ways.

Joyce leaned over and nudged Giles and nodded towards Xander and Angel’s end of the table. She had noticed that their chairs were getting closer and closer for the last half hour or so. Giles gave her a wink and a smile.

“Gentlemen, if I hear one more scoot from either of you, I’m putting Dawn in between you two, do I make myself clear? If you want to go make out, go into the stacks like Angel and Buffy used to do. At least then we don’t have to see it.”

Which, of course, ruined any mood either one of them had for making out, just as Giles had planned. Joyce giggled, and Dawn laughed, and they all heard Willow laugh as she came down the stairs from the stacks.

As Willow approached the table, she smiled at Xander, leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “I will learn again,” she said, causing the others to look up in confusion , while Xander just smiled and nodded.

Xander stood up from the table, and looking at Angel, who nodded, turned to Giles. “Giles, I’m going to need Ripper’s help tonight. I have to return to my parent’s home and retrieve what is left of my stuff that my dad hasn’t destroyed yet. Can you please come with me? I need all the help I can get.”

“My boy, you just needed to ask. I have a few words I want to say to your father any way about how to treat one’s child.”

“Alexander, do you mind if we tag along to handle your mother? I would like a few words with her as well,” Joyce asked, with a hard look in her eyes.

“Hey, the more the merrier, I say,” joked Xander, who everyone could see was getting nervous about going back to the place where he was tortured and raped.

They packed up the books for reading at Angel’s place, went back to Giles to get Angel’s car, picked up Vic, and all of them went over to Xander’s old home.
