Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the characters, except the ones that are
invented. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the property of Joss Whedon, WB,
Mutant Enemy, and so on . . . anything that is similar to any other fan
fiction is TOTALLY coincidental. (I borrowed one or so scenes only to
create a mood, I give full credit to the writers and junk if I can
remember their names, please don’t sue.)
OTHER STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOW: 2 stars ** means inner thinking. This fan
fiction starts sometime after Angel has turned evil ...
(Brackets) will show up as a narrative on my part, I felt it would add
some appeal tell me what you think. Another thing and I promise you
( the reader) this is the last unless I have more stuff you need to
know before reading this, when I'm writing events that happen in the
Show, I'm gonna write it differently, or writing it the way *I* think it
should happen.
Okay I'm done, now you may enter the fanfic ;)

Part 5
Nighttime
** Just floating away. Carefree. Serene.** A gentle voice was guiding
Buffy. ** Float away and never return. **
Buffy suddenly woke up, with a violent jerk. Something touched her
hand. Soft, fluffy but eerily cold.
“Meow?” It was the black kitten that visited her a couple of nights
before.
Though Buffy was ready to fight when she woke up, she gently picked
up the small fragile kitten and petted it.
“Hey kitty” whispered Buffy to the cat. “Hmm... you seem like the only
thing that’s making any sense to me right now. You see... ” she quietly
whispered to the cat her troubles and the kitten seem to dose away
and cuddled up in her hands. “I knew I was boring you, sleep now.”
Buffy drifted off to slumber herself.
The next morning
RINGGGGGGGGGG! PLEASE WAKE UP. BREAKFAST IS SERVED AT THE STUDY HALL,
rang the terribly annoying P.A. system.
Buffy and Willow were standing in line for Breakfast.
“Hey Buffy!” Willow chimed in.
“Uh, hey yourself. We’re in a cheery mood aren’t we?” Buffy said.
“Well... yeah.”
“Share... ” Buffy said mischievously.
“Share what?” Xander interrupted will his mouth full from a blueberry
muffin.
“Well Willow was just about to share a certain something that’s
making that wide smile on her face.” Explained Buffy.
“Oh... um never mind Buffy, I’ll tell you later. I’ve got to go.”
Willow’s face had a hovering mysterious glow and she disappeared into
the crowds of hunger students.
“That was weird. Oh well forget her.” Said Xander. “So let’s study
for that test we have tomorrow k? We have a lot to catch up... I bet no
time for slaying now right?”
Buffy was now very certain something was definitly wrong. First
Willow being totally cold and mysterious around Xander. Xander
actually caring about school and saying “Forget her” indicating
Willow and ----
Interrupting Buffy thoughts, Giles said “Um.. Buffy. Can I see you
for a moment?”
Giles led her to that study hall’s mini library and said “I think
I’ve found this Oblivon fellow.”
“Well what are we waiting for? The sooner I get the thing out of my
mind, the sooner I can get on with my life.” Buffy said eagerly.
“Well the thing is you can exactly ‘get rid’ of it.” He said. “You
have to, well beat it at it’s own game.”
“And how do I do that?!?”
“It says here..” referring to the book in his hand, “Oblivon is the
master of illusions and all of memories—“
“That was that voice said... ” Buffy said in realization.
“Yes, what else did it say”
“Well... I dunno... It’s very misty right now.”
“Anyway, Oblivon has the power to deceive and kill mortals of all
kinds. It is usually summoned by a demon to do it’s bidding. I’ve
tried to find anything that leads to destroying it, but the writer of
these books of old don’t say anything useful at all. But there was a
passage where it said that the number 39 and an anhk, the egyptian
sign of life, that can harm it.”
“Can you show it to me?” asked Buffy.
Giles found it for her in the mini-computer that Ms. Calendar gave
Giles.
Buffy read the passage out loud, hoping there was a clue to
destroying it. “13, 39 oh the new great almighty shall rise. Overcome
cruel Obilvon, thus destruction of gold, of truth and loved of one.
She’ll die in dawn. Protecting Anhk of life. To slaying the one. And
Chant the 39 and 39 and 39 of separation. Please page of addition.
Will Lose the most of dearest and own thus insanity... . What?”
“Exactly Buffy.” Said Giles. “I’m as puzzled as you. But we have to
find and destroy it quickly as possible.”
“Yes.. but why?”
“Because, if we don’t... ... .you’ll reduce to a psychotic... . episode Buffy.”
“What? But can’t you do something about it?” Buffy exclaimed.
“Seek and Destroy.”
For the afternoon, the group (Buffy, Xander, Willow, Cordelia, and
Giles) was researching on how to destroy Oblivon.
“Nothing. Geez! I wish that these books weren’t so damn cryptic!”
Said Giles.
There was a knock. It had startled everyone.
“Buffy I think it’s for you.” Said Cordelia without answering the
door.
Buffy looked outside. No one was there. She walked through the door
and suddenly everything changed and a trail of roses was in front of
her. She followed them and it led to a small, glowing silver statue
of an angel. Images flooded her with love, hope, affection, then
despair. Suddenly something came at her, hitting her unconscious with
one blow. Darkness.
