Knights, Werewolves, Vampires OH MY!!!!

Chapter Four

The next morning two of the men were awaked with the cries of the third.

“Ow… OW!! OW!!!” The cries of the man with abundant chest hair rang throughout the bedroom that evening, coming after a night of hot sex with no clean up. The other two partners’ snickers soon followed, thankful they did not have that problem.

“SO not funny you guys,” grumbled Xander as he moved carefully around in the bed.

“Not to sound dense or dumb, but what exactly happened last night,” Xander asked as he settled into a more comfortable position.

“Xander, if you don’t know, we are certainly not going to tell you,” harrumphed Oz.

“I don’t mean the sex. Well ya, the sex, but us three doing the sex,” Xander said, crossing his own eyes at that sentence.

“I think it was those sparks and spell last night. I am starting to think it was a botched love spell,” Angel said sadly. He really didn’t want to give up the two young men at his side, spell or no spell. He found what he had been looking for and he was loath to give it up now.

“Just great, a love spell. Just want I didn’t need,” complained Xander. He was afraid of losing what he had just found, he hoped it was more than just a spell that caused last night.

“Come on Xan, you know as well as we do, that you enjoyed last night. Deny it if you can,” teased Oz. He was not going to let his two men descend into a brooding contest.

“Well, no I can’t because I had a hell of a good time. Plus that is something else, when did I get all Dommie all of a sudden,” wondered Xander.

“I think it’s the hyena that is still left in you, and don’t think we won’t be talking about that, because we will. I know that I am a beta wolf, with both of you being Alpha, you sorta had a meeting of the minds last night on who was top wolf so to speak, which leave Angel as beta, and me as omega,” whispered Oz.

“Oz are you sure your okay with this,” asked a concerned Angel.

Oz just smiled and shrugged his shoulders, “Just don’t start picking on me like they do in other packs or in the wild, and we will get along fine”
An arm shot out and grabbed Oz, pulling across both their laps. Pulling up the musician’s head, Xander looked him straight in the eyes. “There is no omega member of this pack, I have two betas, and that is how I like it, and I want it. I know what it is like to be picked on and abused, and I will not let that happen here. If you don’t believe me, look into my mind,” he said as he dropped all guards and let them in. Showing them his life with his parents and friends as he grew up.

By the time the two of them were done looking they didn’t know what to do, either cry or kill.

“You will do neither of the sort. Now that we have each other, we won’t need the others as much, and I can now protect myself from my parents,” said Xander.

“YOU will NOT be going back there,” barked Angel.

“I think it’s time I re-opened the Crawford Mansion. Its big enough for us three, more defensible than this place is with its innocents, and we are going to need that once Buffy finds out what I has happened. We will need a place to hide,” he continued

“I agree,” said Xander with a flash of green. “If she thinks that she is going to get you back she has another think coming,” he snarled.

Turning towards Oz, Xander noticed something.

“Oz, you’re talking a lot more than I have heard in the past, what gives?” asked Xander.

“Your family, pack, why stay quiet,” Oz said shrugging his shoulders.

“Ok-ay, lets get back to the sparkles. Since we missed most of school today, we can ask Giles after school what is going on, because I would like to know. We will see if he can get rid of the love spell, but only if we can stay together. Because I have to tell you guys I love being able to snuggle up to you two. But if he tells us that it will go away with the spell, we will re think about having it removed. We need more info before we can make a decision,” said Xander.

“Agreed” they both said in unison.

Stretching, Angel looked at the disaster that was once his bedroom. “Well we need to clean up in here, grab showers, and then I will fix you something to eat. I hope breakfast food is okay, because that is all I have, but I do cook a mean omelet,” he commented.

“Okay, but let Oz grab the shower first, he needs it,” commented Xander, which got him smacked in the face with a pillow.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After cleaning, showering and eating breakfast, came the next big think. What to wear to school, both the boys clothes were trashed, Oz’s pants were the only think wearable from that heap. Xander decided to make an impression, they were going to see Giles while school was just letting out. In fact just as the last bell rang, so that everyone, and he meant everyone would see the new them.

Oz remembered an outfit that he had in his van that he drove over last night following Angel. Quickly pulling on his pants he went outside to grab the bag he had it in. It was a new outfit he had bought for the band, to wear on a special band night.

The outfit consisted of black and silver-grey leather pants, a cut-off meshed shirt and a long black sleeveless leather duster with silver shades to complete the outfit. He even had black and silver hair dyes. The mesh shirt end just above his abs and the duster, and his abs were shown to perfection boxed in like they were.

Well, that set the tone right there. Angel had the needed outfits for he and Xander. They weren’t as tight on Xander as they were on the other guys, but they would do in a pinch. Angel promised Xander that once he stopped growing he would get him a complete closet full of club clothes.

They as quickly piled into Angel’s convertible. It had tinted windows so that Angel could get around town, and the drove to school. They pulled up into a shaded area that led to a doorway. Everyone was there, and the last bell had just rang for the day. As they piled out of the car, they got stares and comments.

Besides the black and silver outfit of Oz’s, Angel had dressed in a red silk shirt, that was just tight enough across his chest to show off the muscles there. He had put on a little eyeliner to darken the eyes so when he let the demon, out just a little, it caused his eyes to glow brighter, and seem more ominous. He even allowed the boys to spike his hair for this occasion.

Xander had on another sleeveless duster, black, under it he wore a dark blue, almost black silk shirt, leaving a few upper buttons open to reveal his chest and the muscles that he had developed over the summer hunting vampires. He arms stood out with the muscles they had developed, and the soft leather caressing his legs, defined them to a T.
Showing off what the loose, baggy and loud clothes that he usually wore hid from view. He allowed the hyens out to color his irises totally green, and with the spiked hair with silver highlights, all three of them look not only dangerous, but gorgeous as well.

As the three muscular hunters passed throw the school, the crowds parted, the boys nervously, and the girls panting, and truth be told a few of the boys were also panting, slightly and quietly as not to bring the wrath of their friends down on them.

Even Cordy and the Cordiettes, raised eyes brows as the trio pasted them, and Harmony could be heard asking Cordy:

“Damn Cordy, you sure you didn’t make a mistake dropping him?”

Which just caused Xander to chuckle silently, and blush a little bit.

Don’t even think of going back to her, your ours! he heard Angel send. Silently agreeing and sending back assurances that it would not happen, they continued with their way to the library.

What they missed was Cody’s response:

“Shut up, Harm. I just remembered I have to check out a book in the library. I’ll meet you all at the bronze tonight at seven pm. Be there,” the Queen of Sunnydale High ordered.

And she walked off, unknown to her following the same path that the trio did. She knew something was up, and she wanted to find out what. She still had plans for Xander, after he suffered a little more, but it looked like he wasn’t suffering at all. And that did not sit with her at all. She had to know what was going on.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AS the trio of men approached the library they could hear Giles swearing, and cursing up a blue streak. They heard him mumble something about irresponsible children, and where the hell were they. Banging the doors of the library open, they caused Giles to jump up, swing around and aim a crossbow at them. Xander didn’t know who was more surprised, Giles or them.

“Easy there G-man, could you like point that somewhere else before someone looses an eye, namely me?” Xander asked. He walked upped to the Englishman, using his index finger, moved the pointy end of the bow away from them, towards the floor and weapons cage.

“Good Lord, you three gave me a start. First you never come back last night or call in. Then Buffy and Willow proceeded to blow up the chemistry lab with what looks like a botched spell. I have the book here but I don’t know which one they used, but it got out of control. They are cut and burned, and are not healing right. Something is blocking it. Not even Buffy’s slayer healing is working. They are both healing at an alarmingly slow human rate. If the vampires found out, they might be able to kill Buffy. I need to find out what went wrong last night in order to help them. I haven’t even been to see them, afraid I might lost my temper.”

“Now you three show up, dress LIKE FUCKING VAMPIRES ON PARAIDE. What is going on with you children?” snapped the English librarian.

Oz and Xander leaned against each other as the laughed, barely able to stand up right. Angel just rolled his eyes heavenward as if asking for divine help.

After a few minutes of this, and with Giles getting redder in the face, Oz and Xander get themselves under control. Waving Giles over to their normal table, he begins their tale. None of them noticed the door of the library open part way, or that Cordy was just on the other side listening in.

Looking stern and hard, Xander began by saying, “Giles, we will take this one step at a time, and hopefully answer all your questions. I think we have most of the answers for you. But first you need to know both Oz and I are human, and not human.”

“Well the bloody well clears everything up,” groused Giles.

Flashing him a quick smile, “I promise to clear that point up as well.”

“It seems our two lovely ladies last night tried a love spell on Oz and Angel, but because I was with them, it caught me as well. You know the old Xander luck with magic, well it held true last night as well. It seems to have bound us three together, and not the guys to ladies as they seemed to have planned.”

“Giles,” Xander said solemnly, “they have gone too far this time. They could have released Angelus last night, and he would have created two of the most evil childe that he had the pleasure of Siring. There could have been the first werewolf/vampire hybrid, and let’s not for about vampire me.”

When he heard this, and realized the implications of that comment, Giles paled. This town would have been decimated in a matter of a few months, if this had happened. He could picture Angelus back in town, with Xander on his right, and a vampire/werewolf on his left. Nothing would stand in their way. Not even a slayer.

Xander was right, the girls had crossed the line, and to far this time. There was not going back or forgiving for this action. The council will have to decide what to do with Buffy. But what to do about Willow?

Turning back to the men, Giles asks, “What do you want me to do?”

“First, they must be punished. On that we all agree. Second, is how?” started Angel.

“That is simple. Until she learns her lesson, Willow’s magic must be bound, and in such a way that she can’t have it unbound until it is assured that she has learned her lesson,” ordered Xander. He was really tired of being one of her victims when it came to her magic.

“As for Buffy she must be punished as well,” Oz said. Angel reluctantly agreed. As much as he use to love the blonde slayer, the previous night’s spell was the final straw. He was not going be under anyone’s control involuntarily.

Giles nodded in agreement, he could see the need for this and why, “Okay this is what we are going to do…..”

None of them noticed the door silently closing, or Cordy slipping away, tears in her eyes. She now realizes that her one chance at love and happiness is forever beyond her read, and it was the two bitches fault. The two bitches will pay for this if it is the last thing I do, vowed the running cheerleader.

*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A couple of hours later …….. at the hospital………

Since the two girls were friends, and their injuries the same, they were placed in the same room together. They were not in any life threatening problems, but it made the nurses job easier if they were together. Their burns and cuts would not leave any scars but the burns could get infected, so they had to stay for a day or two before going home.

Both ladies were extremely frustrated. They weren’t healing right. Buffy’s slayer abilities were not kicking in, and no matter what spell Willow did, nothing seem to work. Not one cut or burned healed magically or mystically in Buffy case.

Plus they were both concerned about what happened last night with the spell.

“Willow, where is everyone? Except for my mother stopping bye, and yours calling, no one has been by. Now that the sun is down, Angel should at least be here with Oz. But no, not even Giles has been here,” complained Buffy.

“Your right, where is everyone, at least Oz and Angel should be here, the voice from the spell said it worked,” whimpered the red headed witch, as she shift in her bed to look at Buffy better.

“What did when it said we got our wish but not our desire?” asked Buffy.

“I’m not sure, but the spell was a lot stronger than I can cast, and I am pretty powerful,” said Willow. “Someone or something gave it an added oomph, that is what caused the explosion and our injuries,” she continued.

“Well as long as Angel and I can be together, I don’t care who powered the spell. And as for the damage, Giles will cover for me like always,” Buffy said dreamily, lost in the daydreams of her and Angel together, once they got around that old curse of his.

Outside the door, listening in, the three men just got angrier at the women inside the room, while the fourth grew more determined than ever to make sure that these two got back on the right track.

Motioning for the three others to stay in the hallway until he called for them, Giles stormed into the hospital room. A real look of anger on his face, which helped him in his ruse to punish the girls.

“Oh thank the Goddess you two are awake. I would have been here sooner but I had to do some research first. I found this spell book among the ruins of the lab, and hid it before anyone could ask questions. We’ll talk later about stealing my books, but first we have other problems. Willow, did you know this spell is still active and draining your magic as we speak? And it’s doing the same to Buffy’s slayer powers?” babbled Giles, not really giving the girls a chance to think for a minute.

It was essential to his plans that they be dazed and confused by what he was saying, so they did understand what he was doing.

“Oh my goodness, I have been so drained that I daren’t try my magic, so I didn’t know. What are we going to do? I can’t let it drain away all my magic Giles,” cried the young witch. Little did she know that was the least of her concerns.

“According to my research, since you cast the spell, you have to be the one to snap the line feeding it. And yes, I know it is a love spell and yes, whoever, and I can imagine who, you cast it on will snap out of your control, but it’s better than draining your life force away, now isn’t it?”

“Y-Y-Yes,” she stammered, relaxing a little when she realized Giles knew what she did and was not yelling at her.

“Oh no you don’t, we will have that lecture on love spells and such. I could have sworn you learned your lesson when Xander pulled this stunt, but know, you had to try it on your own. Well that is neither here nor there, and we will talk later. Right now we have to stop the magical drain on your two,” snapped Giles. “I am too busy trying save your lives and those on the other end to lecture right now.” Which was true but not in the way the two girls thoughts.

“B-B-But Giles we had to get Willow and Oz back together again,” stuttered Buffy.

“Buffy if I hear one more word out of your mouth, you will not have a mouth, is that understood,” snarled Ripper. Seeing him out just caused Buffy to slide back down in her bed and keep her mouth shut.

Turning back to the red-head, “As for you, young lady, we have to try something drastic to stop this power drain, or IT will start draining your life energy next along with your magic. You need to drink this potion as spread this powdered herbs around your bed and on you, I will then speak this incantation as you drink, do you understand?”

“Yes, Giles, please hurry. I don’t want to die from this,” Willow said as she started to cry. She trusted him completely and took the tumbler that had the brew in it, and awaited his signal to start drinking.

“Okay, ladies, as will drinks and I chant, I need you to think about pulling your power back in, this is very important, it will stretch the link between you four and break it. It’s need to save you both. Combined with the potion, the herbs, and the incantation, we should be able to save you and your abilities,” the Englishman said.

Giles saw that both girls looked dejected at the idea of losing hold of the love spell, but they nodded for him to continue. Smiling at them, he motioned for Willow to start drinking, and he began to chant.

Magic that is strong
Magic used wrong
Magic of the mind
Magic I now bind

Sparkles of light began to form in the room, some came through the window, and other from under the door, until the room was filled, and Buffy had a hard time seeing Willow or Giles. The sparkles seemed to be gathering around both Giles and Willow, thickening into very dense clouds. Those around Willow seems to be slowly sinking inward, as being pulled or pushed into her body.

Power that should have been true
Power that has been given to few
Power that was yours with to play
Power that I now must lock away

The sparkles that were falling into Willows body, seemed to be dimming, some even winking out, as if their batteries were failing. They were falling quicker as they got closer to her, until a funnel effect was taking place, sucking in the reluctant sparkles.


With this potion, these herbs and this spell
I lock you, I bind you, until final bell
No more shall you cast spells to be dread
Cause for you a spell can’t be read

At the beginning of this chant, the herbs around Willow’s bed and on it, began to glow a reddish hue. Soon lines could be seen forming, until a net like outline was completed for all to see. As the last word was said, the net sprung up to capture that few sparkles, and pulled them into Willow, until both the net and the sparks could no longer be seen.

Willow finished the horrid drink, and that was when she realized what Giles was saying, and what the spell was really meant to do. Throwing the container at Giles, hoping to cause him to lose his place, but he ducked, giving her a smirk that was pure Ripper, reminding them both of who was really under Giles’s English finish.

“Giles, please stop, you can’t do this to me,” pleaded Willow, as she struggled with the bed covers to get out of bed and over to him to make him stop. But she could not get free, and Giles just continued on.

Buffy meanwhile could just lay there in stare in amazement as she watched her mentor betray her and Willow both.

Until the binding has reached its time
And three voices raised in rhyme
Speak in agreement the following line
“Serah Aprocha Willow Undine”

Willow knew from this that she would have to find 3 white witches or wizards to break the spell and agree she learned her lesson, or until the caster died and it broke. She was now powerless and on probation for an undetermined amount of time.

Thus this spell is cast
Harm is now of the past
Gifts locked away at last
Gifts you used too fast

“NooOOOOoooooo,” Willow screamed, and fell backwards into bed as a puppet with all its strings cut, crying into her pillow.

“Why did you do this to me, why?” Willow asked, as she tried to reach her magic. She could see it and sense it, but was unable to touch it or use it in anyway. She was truly powerless now, and no matter how hard she tried it was beyond her reach.

“Yes, why Giles, why did you do that to her,” Buffy whispered, wanting to know more. She was still in shock at the betrayal of her and Willow at the hands of her father figure and Watcher.

Turning towards the blond slayer, Giles just snarled, “You be quiet, your part in this has yet to be punished, but you will be punished that is.”

Turning back towards the former witch, Giles thrust a bound notebook at the girl, commanding her to try to read it.

Willows grabbed it, looking at the man in anger, turn to a random page in the book. She recognized it as her first spell book, one that she had made herself and out grew months ago. She tried reading the page in front of her, but it was all gibberish.

“I can’t read it,” she said to Giles starting to cry again.

“Oh stop it, your tears are as false as you are,” Giles said. He stood and rooted threw his bag, pulling out another book and thrusting it at the girl.

“Read,” he commanded again.

Snarling at him, and look at him in defiance, she pulled the book closer to her, “The Tek-marian demon reproduces by laying eggs in living humans, and then watches as the offspring eats it way out…….”

“That is enough. I had to make sure that your would be useful to us at least in the researching department,” conceded Giles. “You also still have your hacking abilities, so you will be of some use to us at least.”

He began cleaning up the residue form the spell, anger in every motion that he made. There was no remorse in him for what he had to do, these girls could have released a demon and his offspring that would have destroyed the world.

Calling out in a loud voice, “You can come in now.”

The two girls turned their heads so quick towards the door, that Giles he could swear he heard a snapping noise on the other side of the room. As the trio pushed open and it swung open, they marched in unison, the looks on their upset faces left no doubt that they knew about the spell, who did it, and why. They also looked like they knew what had happened to Willow in the room, and were definitely not upset about it.

“OH! Oz I am so sorry, I don’t know what came over me,” Willow said starting to cry again. She was trying to make up excuses, like she normally did when she got caught doing something wrong.

Buffy looking at Angel realized that she too had been caught. “I’m so sorry for what happened last night, Angel,” Buffy started saying.

But Xander interrupted ,” And what exactly happened last night, do you really know or care to know,” said Xander in a dry stern voice.

Embarrassed to be caught, Buffy snapped, “ Xander, stay out of this, this involves only us four, so just be quiet!”

“Au contraire, mon capitaine. You little attempt at a love spell also caught me up in its little cluthes, snaled Xnader, letting his eyes turn an emerald green once again. The whole room watched as he slowly let out the hyena that he had kept from the other Scoobies. With his eyes already glowing green, he allowed his canines to elongate, and allowed the hair on the back of his head to standup all spiked and straight.

In a deep growly voice, he said, “Thanks to you, they are now mine; my pack, my lovers, my mates …” And, as he walked seductively over to Buffy’s bed and leaned over, he added, “Mine to love,” he sauntered over to Willow’s side of the room and leaned down, “ and mine to fuck.”

Slowly walking back across to the hospital room to his lovers, he held out his hands and both of them, though they could never teyll you why, knelt and snuggled up to his sides as if her was their mother and owner.

“Because of your greedy little spell, we are now one. You have lost everything, and I have won everything. What you wanted to have and control, I now have. I will never cast aside their love for me, and from this day forward they will never doubt they are loved and wanted. From this day forth you are nothing to us. Buffy, since I have his heart you may keep the ring, if you still can find it in the chem lab mess, cold metal that it is.”

“Oh, and Willow you can keep warm in the knowledge that you have brought us together, FOR ALL ETERNITY. That’s right ladies. Thanks to your meddling, Angel’s soul is now secure, Oz has total control of the wolf even on full moons, and we all gain immortality from your spell. Oh, we know something is planned for us, we are not that naïve, we but face it TOGETHER,” he said slowly.
As Xander did his little improv act and speech, the other three saw the two girls go pale at first at the appearance of the hyena, and then slowly redden into anger as he words finally sunk into their heads.

“You were the one that convinced Giles to bind my powers so that I could never reverse this spell on you three, didn’t you? You little bastard,” growled Willow as she once again tried to get out from beneath the covers so she attack Xander, but the damn covers would not co-operate. No one noticed the little smile on Giles’s face at her attempts to get out of bed.

“Yes, we were the ones to convince him that you needed punishment, and binding your powers was the only way. But I don’t think you two really realize why yet. We were afraid that if you made an attempt to remove this spell, you could let loose Angelus. Just like you could have done last night if the spell worked as you meant it to,” commented Angel, speaking for the first time since entering the room.

This time it was Oz who spoke up, “With Angel being affected by the love, Angelus would have gotten loose. The first think he might have done was turn both Xander and I, and you Buffy, would be facing not only your friend as a vampire, but a very dangerous vampire/werewolf hybrid. Do you really think you could win against all three of us as the undead?”

After listening to the three of them, the girls grew pale again, never realizing the terrible consequences that they could have let loose on the world last night.
