=09After having fought Angelus, Buffy raised her sword to dispatch him, b=
ut=0Astopped herself when he suddenly gasped loudly and groaned in pain. =
She saw=0Ahis eyes glow bright red for an instant and go back dark. He lo=
oked up at her=0Abut quickly collapsed to the floor, crying. She stared d=
own at him, but still=0Aheld her sword in case he was faking. He raised h=
imself back up, his eyes=0Aheavy with tears, and looked into her eyes.
=09"Buffy?" he asked softly. "What's going on?" She just looked at him, c=
onfused=0Abut not yet ready to lower the sword. He looked around a bit an=
d got to his=0Afeet. "Where are we? I-I don't remember."
=09Finally Buffy realized that the curse has worked slowly lowered her sw=
ord.
"Angel?"
=09"You're hurt." He gently touched her arm and embraced her tightly. Oh,=
=0ABuffy... God." She still wasn't completely sure that it's true, but ac=
cepted=0Athe hug. "I... I feel like I haven't seen you in months. Finally=
 she accepted=0Ait, closed her eyes and breathed out a deep sigh. "Oh, my=
 God, everything's so=0Amuddled. I=85Oh, Buffy...What's happening?"
=09"Shh. Don't worry about it." They then embraced in a passionate kiss, =
the=0Avortex enlarging behind them. I love you."
=09"I love you."
=09"Close your eyes." She nodded reassuringly, and he closed his eyes. Sh=
e tried=0Ahard not to start crying, and kissed him again gently. Stepping=
 back, she drew=0Aback her sword and thrusted it into his chest. His eyes=
 whipped open in=0Asurprise and pain, and a bright light emanates from th=
e sword. She stepped=0Aaway from him. He reached out to her and looked do=
wn at the sword thrust=0Acompletely through him. He looked at her implori=
ngly, completely bewildered by=0Athis turn of events. She could only star=
e at the sword protruding from his=0Achest, and slowly stepped further ba=
ck.
=09"Buffy..." his last word was. Behind him the power of the sword began =
to=0Aswirl into the vortex. Buffy stepped further back, still looking onl=
y at the=0Asword in his chest and not into his face. He still holds out h=
is hand to her.=0AWhen the vortex finally met him it suddenly closed into=
 Acathla's mouth=0Awithout so much as a spark, taking him with it. Buffy =
stared at the stone=0Ademon for a long moment before breaking into sobs a=
nd tears.
=09Leaving the mansion, she walked to her own house.
***
=09"Buffy?" Joyce asked. She was confused by the clothes on Buffy=92s bed=
 and=0Afloor. Noticing a note on Buffy=92s bed, she picked it up and read=
 it. Suddenly=0Ashe started crying.
***
=09Giles, Willow, Cordelia, Xander, and Oz assembled in front of the scho=
ol to=0Atalk. Willow sat in her wheelchair while Giles stood there with h=
is broken=0Afingers and black-and-blue eyes.
=09In the distance, Buffy watched her friends talk. I=92m making the righ=
t=0Adecision, she thought as she started to walk away.
=09Without looking back, she left the school grounds.
=09Buffy sadly looked out the window of the bus as it passed by her house=
.=0ASitting there, silently, she thinks about her beloved Angel, her mom,=
 and=0Aeveryone she had left behind.
=09She looked out the window calmly as the bus drove on. As the bus left=

=09"Anybody sitting here?" Buffy turned around at the sound of the voice =
and saw=0AWhistler in the seat next to her.
=09"What do you want?" she hissed. "And don=92t give me the =91I need a d=
ate to the=0Aprom=92 crap =91cause I=92m really not in the mood to play g=
ames."
=09"Fine, I=92ll cut to the chase. You have to get home," he said.
=09"No, I can=92t," she muttered back.
=09"Why not? They need you to protect them."
=09"Much good my protection did. It got my friend killed, Xander broke hi=
s arm,=0AWillow was knocked unconscious, Giles was tortured, and Angel wa=
s sent to=0AHell. I sent him to Hell. There, happy?"
=09"You made a mistake. But you fixed it the best you could. You did the =
right=0Athing. You found out who you really are."
=09"Yeah, well who=92s that?"
=09"It took a lot of strength to do what you did. You should be proud of=
=0Ayourself."
=09"Than why do I feel so lousy?" she closed her eyes for a moment, but w=
hen she=0Aopened them, he was gone. Just a dream, she thought. Just a dre=
am=85
=09"Excuse me, miss, may I sit next to you?" a voice asked. Buffy had bee=
n on=0Athe bus for almost twenty-four hours now, and she really didn=92t =
want anybody=0Aelse=92s company.
=09Turning around, though, she noticed that he wasn=92t half bad. His eye=
s smiled=0Aat her with a warmness that she hadn=92t seen for a long time.=
 When he smiled=0Ayou could see two little dimples. His voice was invitin=
g, not like most guys=0Ashe knew. She knew somehow that she could trust h=
im. Although he was older, he=0Aseemed to treat her as his equal. Buffy a=
lmost felt uncomfortable in her baggy=0Ajeans, worn-out tee-shirt, and ma=
ke-upless face. Almost, that is. "Yeah,=0Asure," she said, wearily.
=09"Hi, I=92m Andrew Potter," he said, putting his hand out. Buffy carefu=
lly=0Aaccepted it, still unsure of her feelings for him. "And you are=85?=
"
=09"Bu-Willow. Willow Harris," she lied.
=09"Willow," he said, "that=92s a pretty name. But then again, you=92re a=
 pretty=0Agirl. Where=92re you from?"
=09"Thanks," she said awkwardly. "I=92m originally from LA"
=09"So am I. What high school did you go to?"
=09"Hemery. But I moved the middle of my sophomore year to Sunnydale."
=09"I went to Hemery. I was the class of 1987."
=09Twenty-nine, she thought. That=92s not that old.
=09"What year did you graduate?" he asked.
=09She responded, "Oh, I didn=92t graduate yet. I just finished up my jun=
ior year=0Aat Sunnydale."
=09"Shouldn=92t you be in school still?"
=09"It=92s complicated. Let=92s not talk about me. What about you?"
=09"Me? Well, I went to college at Juliard. I always had wanted to be an =
actor,=0Abut it didn=92t work out."
=09"Why not?"
=09"I was destined to do something else in life. Now I=92m in between job=
s."
=09"I know what you mean. I=92m forced into this job that I totally hate.=
"
=09Before Buffy knew it, she and Andrew were the only ones left on the bu=
s.=0A"M=92am, Sir, we=92re at the last stop," the bus driver said as he p=
ulled up in=0Afront of a grave yard.
=09Buffy grabbed her bag while Andrew took his luggage and went off the b=
us onto=0Aa deserted dirt road. Both watched as the bus drove away.
=09"Where are you heading?" he asked. "I=92ll escort you there."
=09"I=92m not going anywhere in particular, just far away. And I can take=
 care of=0Amyself," she said defensively.
=09Suddenly a vampire rose from one of the graves. Andrew grabbed a stake=
 and=0Across and stood in a fighting stance. "Stay behind me, Willow. I=
=92ll take care=0Aof him."
=09Instead, Buffy took her own stake out. As the vampire started to charg=
e at=0Aher, she tripped him. Unfazed, he got up and threw a punch at her.=
 She fell to=0Athe ground, but when he leaned over her, she kicked his ch=
in, swung her legs=0Aaround, and stood up. She kicked him up against a gr=
ave, and he couldn=92t get=0Aup. Grabbing her stake, she shoved it into h=
is heart, and he exploded into=0Adust. Andrew just stood there in shock.
=09"You just ssslayed a vampire. You, you, you=92re Buffy Summers, the, t=
he=0AVvvampire Slayer," he said.
=09"What?! How did you know my name?"
=09"I=92m next in line to be a Watcher."

    He left her crying on the floor. After three hours of her sobs he'd
given up - so much for the meaningful conversation with his soul-mate.
    Lydia on the other hand had long ago awoken, and was in the process of
annihilating the house. Screaming and shouting at the top of her new
found lungs.
    Angelus watched as she lifted the chair, a good 3 times larger than her
and slammed it against the railing sending wood splinters everywhere. He
assumed it was actually quite a breath taking site to see such a small
child rip the house apart so effectively. But none-the-less rolled his
eyes as she ran into the bookcase.
    She'd awoken early, most vampires don't rise for a good 24 hours.. But
then Lydia was special.
    Like her sister.
    Angelus got up, grabbing the small child - successfully getting her
attention.

*
    Lydia stopped, the pain vanished as Angelus grasped her waist lifting
her into the air.
    Her eyes bolted to his, but she didn't see him. Stars had exploded from
the moment she'd awoken - and they'd not vanished since. The pain glozed
over her eyes making her head throb as she listened to the sounds of the
forest outside the cottage.
    "Are you insane?"
Lydia presumed it was not meant as an insult, his tone was playful. Yet
she wanted to cry. What had he done to her? And when would he fix it?
     She just blinked. Her red eyes trying to focus on his quite human
features - before sinking her new found teeth in his neck.

*

"Who will be left if I leave?"
    Sniffing she pulled herself up from the floor to look out window. The
reddening sky was a god send. The demon that haunted her every move was
held captive by the sun's gorgeous rays, and could cause her no harm.
    Drusilla's gaze shifted to the broken mirror, a splinter of glass
showing off her red face and swollen eyes.
    A hand ran over her face and through her soiled hair, and when she
managed to focus on the mirror again it was a pair of doll's eyes at
greeted her own.
    Bold glass pupils stared at her. Daring her to run. Daring her to help
her sister. Daring her to stand up to the demon she loved.
    "I can't" she whispered to the doll. But it didn't listen - didn't care
what she wanted only what she had to do.
    She blinked but image remained, adventurousness eyes discerned with
her, only wanting to get away, and to run from this horrid place.
    "It can't," Drusilla told the image "he'll find me. I can't run from
him!" She was crying again, just when she thought all will to cry was
extinguished she found a new horrible reason to be afraid.
    When she blinked again she saw a foggy picture in the glass. A large
wooden cross hanging high above a cement sanctuary...

way to Sunnydale.

                            Kender Chaos Chapter 4

    "No!  He can't say here," Giles said again.
    In Tasslehoff's fit of boredom, he had found the weapons closet and
opened it while no one was looking.  Out of sight, out of mind, as the
case usually is, Buffy and the rest didn't notice what Tas was doing.
That is, until Buffy found herself catching an arrow that was whizzing
by her head.  This was accompanied by a quiet "OOPS" from Tas and a loud
clatter as he dropped a crossbow to the floor.
    Convinced, after this that it was a wise idea to keep an eye on the
little Kender, Willow sat Tas down in a chair next to her and mesmerized
him by showing him how her computer worked.  Giles, Angel and Buffy, in
the mean time convened in the librarian's office to decide what to do
with him until they could find a way to send him home.
    "He's right," Angel agreed.  "We can't leave him here by himself.
There's no telling what he'll do to the place."
    "And we can't send him home with you, Angel," Buffy said.  "He might
incinerate you.  As cute as he is, I might have to hurt him for that."
    Angel smiled a silent "Thank you," as he had no more wish to have the
Kender in his apartment than he had desire to be burnt to ashes.  Giles,
also, had sternly insisted that he could (or would not, rather) take Tas
back to his place.  They were running out of options.
    "We could let him stay in Snyder's office," Buffy smirked.  "Or we
could take him over to Cordelia's."
    "No," Giles said, hiding a smile, "Principal Snyder would probably send
him to the police or one of the Elementary schools."
    "And Cordy would probably kill him," Buffy nodded.
    "We could take him to Xander's" Angel suggested.
    "And give him *another* reason to kill you?" Buffy asked, raising an
eyebrow.
    Angel gave her a rare, sheepish look and Buffy shook her head.  The
three of them remained silent for a time, trying to decide what to do.
    "Well, I suppose I could take him to my house," Buffy sighed.  "My
mom's gone, after all.  I'll just have to lock up the knives and stakes
and stuff."  She sighed again and looked out the window at Tas and
Willow, "That is, unless Willow wants him.  They seem to be getting
along well."
    "I guess that settles it then," Giles said, looking relieved.  He
checked the clock on the wall, "You best, go home and get some sleep,
Buffy."
    "Yeah, I don't wanna get caught sleeping in class again," Buffy
groaned.  "I'll go give Will the 'good' news."
    Giles and Angel watched Buffy walk out of the office and over to talk
to Willow.  After some small discussion, it became clear who was going
to be the 'lucky' one to take Tas home.  By the time Angel and Giles
came out of the office, Tas was standing next to Buffy, ready to go and
Buffy had resigned herself to her fate.
    Angel gave her a sympathetic smile and offered to walk Tas and the two
girls home.

*   *   *   *   *

    The journey home took longer than usual.  They often had to stop while
Tasslehoff marveled over the cars, or the power lines, or the electric
lights, or something else.  All the while, he babbled on and on about
how these wonderful inventions actually worked, as opposed to Gnome
inventions.  Or how he simply had to tell his friends, Tanis and Caramon
about this or that.  Or how he had such wonderful new stories to tell
his friend Flint, who was waiting for him by a tree.
    Because of this, it took them almost an hour and a half to get to
Willow's house.  And, with Buffy's house still several blocks away and
sunrise coming in only a couple of hours, Angel was forced to pick Tas
up by the waste and carry him the rest of the way.  This produced a tiny
squeal from the Kender and a new commentary on how Angel was probably as
strong as his friend Caramon, even though he didn't look it.
    From there, Tas started relating stories of the great feats of strength
his friend had performed.  None of which was heard by Buffy and Angel,
but it soon became apparent to them that Tas was could be just as happy
talking to himself as he could be when faced with a audience.
    Needless to say, by the time they got to Buffy's house, Angel was in a
hurry to get as far away from Tas as possible.  So much so that he
hurried the other two inside, gave Buffy a quick peck on the cheek and a
"see you tomorrow," and left.  Though Buffy was disappointed at this,
she understood Angel's need to get away.
    Taking Tasslehoff to the guest room, she left him in there and ordered
him to get some sleep.  After repeating the order several times, Tas
finally complied and Buffy shut the guest room door, went to her room
and fell into bed.  She fell asleep, hoping that Tas would do the same.

*   *   *   *   *

This part is kind of boring, but I wasn't in much of a mood for
craziness today.  But I promise that more mayhem is on the way!!

                      Kender Chaos Chapter 4

    Sleep, unfortunately, was, as usual, not a very pleasant experience for
Buffy.  As was usually the case, her sleep was troubled by strange
dreams.  But this time, the dreams she had were stranger than usual.
    In this dream, she saw Spike and Drusilla standing in a room next to a
befuddled, old man in brown robes.  Then, suddenly, Drusilla whispered
something to the old man and he raised his hand.  The old man raised his
hand over his hand and whipped it forward in a throwing motion.
    Before Buffy knew what was happening, a huge fireball was hurtling
towards her.  She threw herself to the ground and the ball of flame flew
over, just barely missing her.  Hair and clothing singed, Buffy looked
up.  But the three were gone.
    That was when she noticed a presence beside her.  She got to her knees
and looked up to find the old man standing right next to her.  As he
stared down at her, his befuddled appearance melted away and was
replaced, first with a stern look, as if he were studying her, and then
with a look of great kindness and compassion.
    The old man reached down and helped Buffy to her feet.  ôTas knows,ö he
said.
    ôTas knows what?ö Buffy asked him.  ôWho are you?ö
    The old man was about to answer when he was drowned out by a horrific
pair of screams coming from behind her.  Buffy turned around to look,
and found that she was standing outside, below a city in the trees,
watching a gathering storm.  She returned her attention to where the old
man had been, but he was gone.  She looked for him, but he had
completely disappeared.
    Then she heard the screams again.  They were coming from above her this
time.  She turned her face to the sky and watched as two huge,
terrifying forms flew over head.  They turned and made another pass,
then another, getting lower each time.  Until, finally, they swooped
down and landed only a few feet away from her.  They screamed again and,
this time she joined them, backing away in terror.
    As she did, she slipped on something and fell, hitting her head.  The
next thing she saw was darkness and, out of that darkness, she heard
something else.  But this wasnÆt a deafening scream.  This was a tiny,
high pitched voice calling her name.  Something was shaking her, and the
worried voice continued pleading, ôBuffy wake up!  Please, Buffy wake
up...ö
    That was when she realized that her eyes were closed.  Desperately, she
fought to open them again.  When she finally did, she found herself
looking into the face of a worried little Kender.

*   *   *   *   *

    Tasslehoff had been awakened from a light sleep by a scream coming from
the next room.  Wondering what on earth it could be, Tas jumped out of
bed and hurried to the next room.  The room he walked into was large,
compared to most rooms he had stayed in, and nicely decorated.  In fact,
he wouldnÆt have minded exploring it a little.
    And he was going to, but his attention was drawn away from the room to
the girl who was tossing, fitfully in bed.  This Tas found even more
interesting, until he saw the pained and fearful expression on BuffyÆs
face.  Worried (not fearful, mind you, as Kenders donÆt know the meaning
of fear), he ran over to his new friendÆs bedside and started calling
her name to try and wake her up.  When that didnÆt work, he started
shaking her and pleading with her to wake up.
    BuffyÆs eyes suddenly snapped open.  She stared at the ceiling for a
second and then looked at Tas blankly.  Recognition finally came over
her and she sat up.
    ôAre you ok?ö Tas asked.
    ôYeah,ö Buffy groaned, rubbing her head.  ôI just had a weird dream.  I
get those a lot.ö
    ôOh,ö TasÆs eyes widened.  ôI had a weird dream like that once.  I
died.  Actually, in it, all my friends died, except for Tanis and
Raistlin, but I let Tika die and then I got poisoned by a booby-trapped
lock I was picking.  And it actually happened too!  Except Tika was
alright and I would have died, but Raistlin saved me.  Raistlin had
weird dreams too, but he never told me about any of them.ö
    Buffy smiled as Tas continued, only half listening.  She was busy
concentrating on the dream and checking the clock.  It was 7:30.
    ôAaww man!ö she cried.  ôIÆm late!ö
    Grabbing Tas, who was already dressed, she stood him in a corner,
facing the wall while she changed.  She then grabbed her backpack, her
purse and Tas and rushed downstairs and out the door, dragging the
little Kender behind her.
    The two of them ran all the way to school, but Buffy didnÆt stop there.
She headed straight for the library, almost mowing down Oz, a few other
kids and Principal Snyder on her way.  Not stopping to listen to Snyder
yell at the two of them, Buffy dragged Tas down the hall and through the
double doors of the library.  Only then did she stop to allow Tas or
herself to catch their breaths.
    ôShouldnÆt you be in class,ö Giles said, as he walked out of the stacks
with his nose in a book.  However, when he looked up and saw the
expression on BuffyÆs face, he immediately regretted those words.
    ôI had one of my dreams,ö Buffy said between breaths.
    But before she could go any further, the library doors swung open and
Willow, Xander and Cordelia walked in.
    ôWe saw you run in here,ö Xander said.  ôWhat happened?  And who is
he?ö  Xander pointed at the Kender whoÆs hand was still tightly gripped
in BuffyÆs.
    ôThatÆs Tasslehoff, heÆs not from around here,ö Willow said quickly,
ôbut thatÆs not important right now, SnyderÆs coming.ö
