This Chapter is dedicated to AR for inspiring me to keep writing. Thx

This chapter is going to touch on some err I guess gory things, its just a small glimpse but I figure I warn since I am not going to be painting a pretty picture in the next chapter.

Chapter 15: Haunted

Buffy walked around the dorm areas as the girls finally settled down to sleep. She was glad she made some rooms where groups of four could stay because at the number of girls that Willow said would be arriving within the next few months it seemed that it would be a tight fit. The coven also seemed to be finding new slayers left and right lately, apparently because of a shift in the cosmic balance that has allowed them to find girls as young as thirteen. Buffy shivered at this as she walked down the quiet halls. How could they ask thirteen year old girls to fight against the things they were just starting to believe never existed. She started down the stairs towards the infirmary, the girls from Puerto Rico had arrived early in the morning, the moans and the commotion waking many of the girls as they were brought downstairs for treatment. Buffy shivered at the look of some of the wounds as she remembered talking to the girl that ended up taking charge when the Head Girl was killed in the last attempt to get away.

“They just attacked without warning during the night” the girl said as Buffy helped her into the bed. “They killed the girl’s on post and made their way to the house. One of the younger girl’s insisted that we let her dog stay with us, I’m glad she did” the girl said as she settled in the bed.

“Why?” Buffy asked as she looked at the wound on her head and her arm.

“The dog never barked, which is why we let it stay with us. As the demons closed in on the house the dog just started barking like crazy, then he stopped suddenly…

FLASHBACK:

She growled as she sat up, hearing the dog barking loudly outside. “Never should have let that dog stay here” she muttered as she went to get out of the bed. Suddenly the dog stopped barking and she sighed in relief,

“Finally sleep” she said as she rolled over, reaching her hand out for her girlfriend, but the bed was empty, “Danny?” she called out. Suddenly the door flew open, revealing her girlfriend in a frantic state.

“GET UP WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!” Danny yelled at her as she tossed her a sword. She scrambled out of bed and to the wall hitting the alarm.

“We have to get these girls out of here and to Sunnydale” Danny told her as she entered the hallway, the sound of glass breaking and growling mixed with shouts for help and battle cries.

“I will gather the girls and get them into the tunnels I need you to assist the girls fighting and then get yourself to the tunnels as quickly as possible” she told her young lover.

“Danny please be careful” the young girl said to her, kissing her quickly. Danny smiled at her confidently,

“Aren’t I always Kat” she said as she rushed down the hallway, shouting out orders to the girls. Kat heard a growl behind her and smiled,

“You messed with the wrong slayer” she said as she turned to face the demon behind her, slicing its head off cleanly. She chuckled as she ran to the broken window the demon came through. The battle was being pushed outside as the girls tried to fend off the never ending stream of demons. She stepped back and jumped through the window and rolled as she hit the ground, springing up to join the battle. She saw Danny quickly and quietly ushering the girls not fighting over the wall, towards the tunnels behind the house. They were hidden by the stone walls and the woods that surrounded the house. Kat smiled as she jumped into the battle, fending the demons off and killing what she could as the girls helped the wounded.

“Alright ladies it’s time to leave” she yelled out as the girls started to back away,

“Danny NOW!” she yelled out covering her eyes as the floodlights suddenly came on, illuminating the entire battle zone. The demons yelled in fury as they were suddenly blinded. Kat grabbed a girl who was struggling to stand and ran, dragging the girl behind her. She hoisted the girl up onto the wall and climbed up beside her. Two other girl’s ran up to the wall, taking the girl from her as she slid down the wall.

“Is that all?” Kat asked them, knowing they had little time to get away.

“Veronica is missing, she was next to us one minute when we landed on the other side of the wall and then she was suddenly gone. We heard you yelling so we came back to see if it was Veronica” the one girl said, pointing to where they were.

“All right get this girl to Danny I will do a quick check hurry, we don‘t have much time before” she urged them as the lights suddenly went out. “That… Listen tell Danny where I am then get into the tunnels and don’t look back. If anything that is not human follows you, kill it” she ordered as the girls nodded as they hoisted the girl onto their shoulders and disappeared into the night. Kat walked cautiously and silently through the darkness, her senses buzzing from the battle. She heard a whimper towards a clearing that lead back to the house.

She peered into the clearing, seeing a vampire sucking on a girl’s neck. She growled as she jumped into the clearing,

“Put her down!” she ordered as she squared off at the vampire. He looked up and smiled at her.

“Its quite alright I am finished. Oh do I love the taste of slayers, so full of life” he said as he tossed Veronica to the side. Kat gasped as she recognized the vampire from the drawings she saw in class.

“But you” she started as the vampire laughed.

“I was one of the good guys right? Well that’s changed now” he growled at her. Kat turned on her heel and started to run, yelling out to warn the girls ahead of her. She saw Danny in front of the tunnel but tripped over a branch, hitting her head on a rock. Blood poured down her face as she struggled to see. She felt something cold pick her up and heard Danny yelling down the tunnel for help.

“Why thank you for showing me your little getaway” the vampire smiled at her. She growled and with the last bit of strength she had she grabbed the dagger in her pants and slashed at the vampire’s face. She fell to the ground and stumbled away from the vampire as his cries of pain echoed through the forest. She felt strong arms grabbed her,

“Alright baby I got you” Danny said as she dragged her towards the tunnel.

“He knows, we have to kill him” she muttered as Danny opened the tunnel.

“Well isn’t this sweet, an all you can eat slayer buffet. I can’t wait to get to your friends” the vampire said as he came into view.

“Angelus” Danny growled as the two girls from earlier came into view. Danny turned to them,

“Take her and run as fast as you can” she said as the started to drag Kat down the tunnel. She stopped and turned, searching Danny’s eyes.

“I will be right behind you baby, I just have to take care of him I love you” she whispered reassuringly, but her eyes betrayed her plans.

“NO!” Kat cried as Danny kissed her goodbye, the girls dragged her away as Danny slammed the tunnel door shut and locking it.

“Awww how heroic and sweet, love is such a wonderful thing” Angelus smiled at her, the cut on his face already healing.

“Well nothing has changed has it Angelus, you still like to talk a lot” Danny said as she moved to block his access to the tunnel.

“Well I love my voice” he said as he charged her. They fought exchanging blows left and right. Angelus grabbed her arm and twisted it, enjoying the sound of the bones snapping as she cried out on pain, grabbing his forearm as he grabbed her throat.

“Two slayers in one night, and a sea of bodies just ready to be desecrated” he smiled evilly at her, throwing her into the door of the tunnel. She yelped in pain as he grabbed her, spinning her around so she faced the door, “When I’m done with you and I am going to have a lot of fun with your girlie, its been a while since I’ve raped and tortured people, she seems like a good start” he whispered into her ears.

“Over my dead body” she said as she elbowed him in the stomach and kicked him away from her. He growled at her as she smirked at him.

“You really think we would make finding this tunnel easy?” she smiled at him as she held up a small box with a button in the middle of it. “Boom” she smirked at him as she pushed the button. Angelus turned around at the sound of the house behind them exploding, the night sky illuminated by the blast. He looked back at her as she laughed at the sounds of multiple explosions echoed through the forest.

“I hope you can run fast” she said as the woods around them began to explode left and right. Angelus ran past her as she looked up at the night sky, remembering when she and Kat came up with the contingency plan.

FLASHBACK WITHIN FLASHBACK:
“I just hope we never have to use it” Kat said as buried the last bomb. Danny smiled at her and pulled her against her body, slowly running her finger down Kat’s face.

“I love you” she whispered to her, kissing her softly. Their tongues danced with each other as Danny began to lower Kat to the ground, slipping her hand underneath her shirt as Kat squirmed beneath her,

“I love you too” Kat breathed out as Danny lowered herself down her girlfriend’s body.
end of second flashback:

Danny looked up at the sky as the woods around her burned, tears flowing down her face. “Be safe Kat” she whispered as she closed her eyes, the ground beneath her rumbled then exploded.

“We put in the bombs because we knew one day we would have to make a quick getaway and we couldn’t leave anything behind. Danny and I knew that one of us would have to set them off, but we thought we would be running down the tunnel together. The cut on my arm came from a piece of the tunnel that came flying past us when the blast occurred. We fell into the cavern just as the blast blew over us” Kat stopped, her lip quivering as tears flowed down her face. “If Angelus followed us down the tunnel I knew we would all be dead, if they weren’t seriously injured the girls were too young and inexperienced. But that doesn’t stop me from wishing he did follow us, that I was with her when she died” Kat sobbed. Buffy pulled her towards her, holding her as the girl’s words echoed through her mind.

End of 1st Flashback:

“Angel” Buffy thought as she looked up at the ceiling, tears in her eyes as she comforted the girl in her arms.

Buffy looked over the girls as she walked past them. “How are they Michelle” she asked as she approached a women looking over one of the girl’s charts. Michelle was an old friend of Giles and both her and her husband were accomplished magical and physical healers. Buffy was glad when Giles introduced them to her a couple years ago. Not long after the Headquarters was done she had called them up and asked them if they would help her if the time came for another battle.

“They are fine, I’m worried about Leah, she hasn’t woken up yet. How they made it here without anyone stopping them amazes me” she said as she motioned for Buffy to follow her to her office.

“The amazing world of money and ignorance” Buffy said as she sat down. Michelle looked at her quizzically.

“I used the airline that the Council used to do their dirty work and then I bought the local bus station here in Sunnydale with their money. So now it is easy for me to get a bus out to the air strip, pick the girls up and bring them here. As for the neighbors I learned early how ignorant people can be, even my mother was like that. When I was younger my mother would wash the blood out of my clothes all the time, hell she would have to wash them twice because the water in the machine would be red, but she didn’t want to believe what she saw. Its amazing how the human mind can block something a person doesn’t want to see” Buffy said as Michelle’s husband popped his head in the door.

“Willow’s looking for you Buffy” he smiled at her warmly. David was a kind and gentle man in his early fifties.

“Thanks David, keep me posted on the girls Michelle?” Buffy asked her as she stood up.

“No problem Buffy” Michelle replied, watching Buffy as she left. Dave looked over at his wife.

“Is everything okay?” he asked her.

“I hope so”


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ronwe growled, slamming his hands down on his desk.
“You failed you idiot. They weren’t supposed to get away. I gave you a simple task, take out the Slayer’s bases and you failed. Not only did you fail you took out a hundred demons while you were at it!” Ronwe yelled out, the room shaking as his power threatened to spill from his body.

“Well it wasn’t like I was planning on getting them blown-up, which by the way why did they have explosives? This is the second group that has tried to blow me up, I don’t like that” he said, his smug smile settling on his lips as Ronwe looked at him, outraged by his arrogant tone.

“The only reason why you are not dead is because you can get under the slayer’s skin” he growled at him, sitting down in his seat with a huff.

“Which slayer, there is so many of them now that I can’t keep track of them, but who is complaining really. A sea of young slayers, think of all that wonderful blood” Angelus smiled at the thought, licking his lips.

“Well forget about going after the rest of the bases. By now Buffy has called and warned the other bases about your reappearance“ Ronwe started, Angelus scowled at him. Ronwe ignored him and continued

“My scouts have reported that a large movement of the slayers have been occurring at all of their bases across the world. They are heading to Sunnydale I am sure of it but Nacon hasn’t reported back to me about what is going on there. I just wonder how she is going to take care of that many girls or for the matter what she is up to gathering all of them. I understand bringing them in, I know they have been reporting back and forth to each other so she knows about the attacks by now. But she can’t be bringing them back for protection” Ronwe started as he leaned back, forgetting that Angelus was in the room.

“Well all I know is that Angel sent her all of his life savings, which he is lucky he had a nice cushiony job otherwise I would have to go back into his mind to kill him” Angelus growled.

“I should have changed Spike over” Ronwe growled at him.

“Yea right, bleach boy. You wouldn’t have been able to take his soul for shit. He is too much in love with Buffy and her pathetic Scoobies” Angelus babbled, oblivious to Ronwe’s annoyance. “I mean look at Angel the pathetic poof he gave away his life savings and his mans…” Angelus was stopped by Ronwe’s hand.

“Will you just shut up and leave! Not only have you screwed up my plans to surprise Buffy with you, but you let a base of slayers get away!” Ronwe bellowed at him. Angelus just shrugged and got up,

“I can still get under the bitch’s skin, I am her soul mate” Angelus laughed as he walked out of the room.

Ronwe shook his head, fading from the room into the cavern where the sword was hidden. He looked down at the workers who were resting along the floor of the cavern,

“DID I SAY THAT ANYONE WAS ALLOWED TO HAVE A BREAK!” he yelled down at them. The workers jumped up, rushing to get to work.

“Awww what is the matter Ronwe? Something not go as planned” Hecate’s voice whispered into his ear. He shrugged his shoulder where her hand materialized.

“Lucifer had to take the army and settle disputes in twelve different hell dimensions, which will take months to settle and I can’t get these incompetent maggots to keep working” Ronwe growled in frustration. Hecate hid her smile by masking it with sorrow.

“What could the slayer do in just a few months, she is just a mere mortal and you have one of her champions. Calm down Ronwe otherwise you will lose your head before it is time to destroy Amdis and her little slayer” Hecate purred into his ear, her stomach turning in disgust. Ronwe smiled evilly at her,

“I love the way you think Hecate, always managing to keep me focus” Ronwe said, kissing the back of her hand. Hecate smiled back at him, swallowing down the bile that threatened to spill from her mouth.

“I will just let you go on with your wicked plans. One of my minions might have a lead on Amdis so I want to follow it personally, you know, make sure it is all that it is cracked up to be” she said as she turned to leave.

“Where did your guy say she was last spotted?” Ronwe asked her.

“Somewhere deep in Greece, her old home billions of years ago I think. Even if the land has changed a bit, I think she is trying to trace something. What I don’t know, call it a woman’s intuition” she smiled at him as he nodded his approval.

“Umm before you go globe trotting can you find Nacon, he hasn’t checked in and I want a full report on what the slayer is up to” Ronwe said as he turned to look down at his workers. Hecate smiled at him, knowing exactly what happened to the ancient God.

“No problem Ronwe, you wish is my command” she said, bowing her head towards him. He grunted his approval as he frowned at his workers.

“THE NEXT PERSON WHO WANTS TO TAKE A BREAK WITH FIND THEMSELVES BROKEN IN HALF!” Ronwe bellowed as Hecate disappeared next to him. He stared at the spot where she was, staring as his thoughts raced through his mind.

“What’s the what Willow?” Buffy asked her friend as she walked into the living room of her house. Willow looked up from the tome on her lap.
“Ahh there you are” she smiled as she set the tome on the coffee table.

“Why aren’t you researching in the rooms set up for you?” Buffy asked her.

“I didn’t want to disturb the girls since it took forever to get them settled down after the injured showed up” Willow said, shuttering at some of the wounds she saw on the girls.

“Okay then what did you need me for?’ Buffy asked as she sat down in the chair.

“How much has Faith told you about her past?” Willow asked her as she flipped through some pages in the tome in front of her.

“Bits and pieces really, it seems very hard to get her to talk. She is very ashamed of her past even the times when her human soul was in control of her body” Buffy said as Willow looked down at the page.

“I can’t make out the language in this book, it’s the same language as the prophecy” Willow said as she turned another page.

“It’s in Atlantean” Buffy said, her eyes lighting up as if the light bulb turned on in her head.

“What?” Willow asked her disbelievingly.

“Faith talks a lot about Atlantis. The ruler of Atlantis, Eve, was her lover for many years. I don’t know much except that something bad happened. Atlantis was gone and Faith lost her human soul again for some time” Buffy said as Willow grabbed another tome, looking at the pictures and symbols.

“Oh my goddess” Willow whispered as she realized that Buffy was right.

“You mean that legend was true?” Willow looked up at her.

“You have no idea at how many legends are true. Arthur and the round table, the Greek gods any legend you heard of is probably real” Buffy said as Giles came into the room looking flustered.

“What’s the matter Giles?” Buffy asked him.

“I figured out the prophecy. It is amazing it’s in….”

“Atlantean” Buffy finished for him. He looked at her quizzically.

“How did you know?” he asked her.

“Faith told me, what does the prophecy say?” Buffy asked him.

“Ahh yes well umm it says that they will come together, the old and young, and will fight in a war that will rip the skies and crumble the grounds. Spirits from the past will awaken and the Earth will overflow with the blood of the weak and strong. If the chosen two fail the world’s will collide bringing the destruction of the human race. The reign of demons will renew as the fallen prince bows down to the knowledge of the new age. But if they succeed, the rule of the demons will end but only one of the chosen will be standing” he finished looking at her as she looked out of the window.

“The prophecy mentioned the Chosen Two, I know I was the chosen one before we released the slayer line but now that prophecy can relate to anyone” Buffy looked up at Giles. Willow looked at her friend worriedly.

“Yes well I believe you are one of the chosen in the prophecy. The line runs directly through you into the other girls which is why you are still stronger and faster then the rest. As for the other chosen one, I have a feeling that it is Faith” Giles explained as he sat down next to Willow.

“Why do you say that?” Buffy asked, looking confused. Willow chuckled at her.

“You were never one for prophetic understanding” she muttered. Giles gave her a stern look before continuing.

“The old and the young part of the prophecy. She is very old, a couple billion years your senior in fact” Giles joked, trying to break the tension in the room. Buffy looked out the window, lost in her thoughts.

“Don’t worry Buffy we have beaten prophecies before and proven them wrong. We can beat this one as well” She said rubbing her friends back. The prophecy played over in her head.

“If they succeed the rule of the demons will end but only one of the chosen will be standing” Buffy’s thoughts raced with this information. She broke herself out of her thoughts as she stood up.

“Yes well, we will win of course. So you guys are going to look through the rest of the books, especially the one where you got the prophecy right?” she said looked at Giles.

“Actually well I found the prophecy on a piece of paper in one of the books. The books Faith gave us touch a little on what is going to happen and past events. I am sure she has other books that will clarify things better for us but until we have them I am afraid it is like dealing with Mayor Wilkins and Glorificus all over again” Giles said looking at her apologetically.

“So we have a prophecy and some history but we don’t know much about our enemy and a Noble Demon who has decided to fight for good. What’s an apocalypse without us being completely in the dark about it” Buffy bantered as she left the room. She walked into the kitchen and jumped up onto the counter.

“So is everything okay?” Dawn asked coming into the room.

“Okay left an hour ago” Buffy said as she looked out the window into the back yard.

“Buffy I don’t want to burden you but we need to find out what is going on in Africa” Dawn said as she walked in front of Buffy.

“I don’t know how we are going to get out there. If something went down I don’t want to send Xander or Giles, and I can’t leave here” Buffy said as she put her head in her hands.

“Well what about this new demon, Faith. Maybe she can go over there and find out what is going on” Dawn suggested.

“We can’t send her, the demon that has started this war is looking high and low for her. If he finds out she is in Africa then he knows she is in this dimension and will try to flush her out by attacking us. But…”Buffy stopped as she thought of something.

“I am going to go” Buffy said as she got off the counter and walked back into the living room.

“What Buffy wait you said you couldn’t go” Dawn stumbled over her words as she followed Buffy.

“Go where?” Willow asked as she stood up.

“I’m going to Africa to find out what is going on, and I might call on a new friend to help me. I can’t tell you all much because you can’t lie about what you don’t know” Buffy said as she motioned for them to follow her to the basement.

“I’ll be on the first trip out of here, I’ll found out what is going on and bring anyone I find back with me. When the next group arrives sit them down and explain to them what is going on” Buffy said as jogged down the stairs and over to the door.

“How long do you plan on being gone?” Willow asked as they followed Buffy quickly down the hallway.

“Chances are I will be gone a week, maybe more” Buffy said looking down at her watch.

“It is five o-clock in the morning Buffy you haven’t slept in close to two days. You should rest first” Giles said as they walked into the headquarters hallway. Buffy turned her head and smiled at him.

“I am fine” she said as she walked down the hall. She knocked on one of the doors. Rhona appeared at the door with a dagger in her hands. Buffy raised her eyebrow and smiled at her. Rhona smiled apologetically at her.

“Sorry it is hard to break that habit” she yawned as she walked into the hallway and closed the door behind her.

“It is okay. Listen I have to leave for a couple days and I need all the special ops units to take charge over the girls. We will conduct the tests when I get back but until then I want you guys to condition the girls in the basics. Pay special attention to the younger girls they are going to need the encouragement” Buffy instructed her.

“No problem Buffy, I let the rest of the girls know the situation when they wake up” she said as she started back into her room.

“Be careful Buffy” she smiled at her as she closed the door.

“Alright that is taken care of. Now you guys get to bed, I’ll be gone when you wake up” Buffy said as she started back towards the tunnel.

“Buffy” Dawn said running up to her sister. She hugged her tightly.

“Thank you, bring Lehana back safely” Dawn whispered into her ear.

“I’ll try my best” Buffy said as she turned and left. Willow looked up at Giles.

“Is it me or do you have a bad feeling about this?” she asked him. Giles just looked at her and walked away.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffy pulled up to the mansion and turned off the car. She sat there for a minute just staring at the soft glow in the windows.
“Are you just going to sit there or are you going to come in” came a voice next to her. Buffy yelled out in fear, clutching her heart.

“Oh my god Faith don’t do that ever again” she panted as she tried to calm down her heart. Faith chuckled at her.

“Sorry I keep forgetting that you can’t sense me” she said as she looked into the back seat.

“So where are we going?” she asked as Buffy refused to look at her.

“There are some girls in Africa that we have lost contact with. I am going there to find out what is going on” Buffy said as she looked down at the steering wheel.

“Africa is in the middle of tribal warfare’s, and major demon movement. It is very dangerous to go there right now without some back up” Faith said looking at Buffy curiously.

“That is why I was hoping your friend Hecate would help me out” Buffy said as she looked tentatively at Faith.

“She is busy dealing with Ronwe. Listen I am coming with you whether you like it or not” Faith said, lifting Buffy’s chin so she had to look her in the eyes.

“Ronwe would find out that you were in this dimension” she said quietly.

“He already knows but he doesn’t know where. It will be okay, you shouldn’t go alone” Faith told her, leaning back into the seat.

Buffy looked Faith over, knowing that when she arrived in Africa she would be there waiting for her.

“Alright” she said as she started up the car.

“You know it would be faster if I took us” Faith said as Buffy pulled out of the mansion’s driveway.

“I know but that way it doesn’t look so suspicious having my car parked in the mansion’s driveway. We can leave it at the airport and then we can leave from there” Buffy said as she sped through the quiet streets of Sunnydale. The sun was just peaking up over the horizon.

“We always manage to be together at sunrise” Faith said as she looked out the window. Buffy smiled at her as she pulled into the road for the airport.

“I love this time of day, it is when all the things that go bump in the night disappear” she said as she pulled the car into a swift stop. She reached into the backseat and grabbed her bag.

“Alright let’s go then” Buffy said as she held out her hand to Faith. Faith looked at her hand for a minute then smirked.

“Alright” she said as she grabbed Buffy’s hand, fading them both out of the car.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“You have to let me near her at some point or other. The powers didn’t bring me back for this short time for me to see who did your decorating” Eve said as she paced back and forth in Hecate’s living room.
“Oh shut up, I want to give Faith and Buffy a chance to get close first before I let you fuck with her heart” Hecate said as she picked at her nails. She was reclining on her sofa in front of a warm fire.

“I love her and she loves me how could I fuck with her?” Eve asked indignantly, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Well let’s see if we can poke holes in that one. I know about the book, the Immortal and the Slayer. It charts their journey through their lives until they reach each other’s hearts. They were meant to meet each other, it was obvious even three billion years ago when you came across that book. Buffy’s soul and Faith’s soul were always so close and yet so far from each other and now that they have finally found each other you can’t stand it. Like you couldn’t stand that you were able to show her what love was again, but you would never be able to fill that last part of her heart, the part that yearned for her soul mate. Even if Faith couldn’t see it or realize what it was, you did and it tore you to pieces to give her your love fully and know one day it would be taken away from you” Hecate said coolly, looking over her nails carefully. Eve stood there, clenching her fists at her side. After a minute her shoulders slumped in defeat as Hecate’s words hit home.

“You are right, I knew that. I just wanted her to see that she could still love without needing her soul mate.” She said softly. Hecate looked up from her hand.

“She did, she loved you more than anything in this world. But you were a kindred spirit to her. Faith and Buffy need to be together, if not for their souls, but for the world” Hecate said as she stood up. Eve nodded at her, as she stared into the fire.

“You are here for a reason. It will be made clear soon but until then, sit tight and stop nagging me” Hecate said as she returned into her nails. Eve chuckled sadly as they sat together in silence.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffy stumbled and fell onto the mossy floor of the rainforest as Faith stood next to her, surveying the area.
“That is one intense ride” Buffy muttered as she shakily returned to her feet.

“It takes a couple times before you get used to it” Faith said as she looked deep into the dense forest.

“Well you sure had plenty of time to practice” Buffy joked as she finally took in her surroundings.

“Alright the base should be close” Buffy said as she started off towards the base. Faith quickly grabbed her and pulled her back.

“There is something seriously wrong here” she whispered as her eyes started to turn gold. She motioned for Buffy to quietly follow her. Buffy breathed in heavily, worry filling her head.

“What is that smell?” she whispered to Faith as they came into the base’s clearing. Buffy gasped, turning away from the building as her dinner rose in her throat. Faith looked over the carnage, her eyes radiating gold.

“Blood” she growled as she rubbed Buffy’s back as she started to gag, trying to get the image of the graveyard of limbs and bodies out of her mind as the scent of blood drenched her senses.
