My inner child: School's hell
by Kellcool
Sunlight... warmth...
Sunlight! Shit!
Angel woke up with a yell and saw the curtains were still open and that the sunlight was burning his foot and inches away from Buffy's whole body.
' What...?' said a still drosey Buffy who woke at the yell.
Angel pulled her closer to him, away from the sun's light.
' The sun. The curtains are open!' said Angel.
She opened her eyes quickly and saw that they had backed themselves against a wall with no escape.
' Shit!' Buffy pulled closer to Angel, as he was furthest away from being able to fit in an ash tray.
' Willow, Giles!!!! A little help!' cried Buffy.
' It's no use, I heard them talking last night about going to look at that school today. Listen, they've already gone.'
He was right, she couldn't even hear the quiet beating of their hearts.
' I'm going to have to dive over the bed, roll on the floor to the curtains and close them.' said Buffy.
' No, you'll get burned, and you're not even dressed. That means more exposure. I'll go.' said Angel.
' No, i'm the closest to the bed. Besides, my clothes are here, I can get dressed now. Even though the space is a little cramped.'
She awkwardly pulled on a t-shirt and ran, jumped onto the bed, rolled and tried to close the curtains.
Luckily she haddn't been burned.
' See, I'm fine.' she said, glorying in her defeat over Angels worries.
He smiled and went up to her holding her in a tight embrace, and kissed her softly on the lips.
' No big prob. Hey, it's still daylight, so we can't actually help Giles or Willow do anything right now, so...why dont we make good use of our free time?' she said gesturing her hand towards the bed.
' Mmm, I like that plan.' he said and kissed her again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

' Hey Giles, do you think not being able to get inside the school issues as a big problem?' said Willow.
' Well, yes. It is imperitive that we find out about more of the phenomena that has been occouring here so that we can compare it to the books and journals we have at the hotel and also see if it has any particular patterns.'
' Geez, are all the people here such drama queens? You couldn't just say. It's bad. We need to find out more info on the Hellmouth.' said Willow.
Giles looked at her annoyed and said, ' Yes, well... we need to get inside.'
' I know. See, I know, simple, direct and to the point.'
He gave her another look and started to pace up and down the concrete carpark of the school and the Primary school opposite, thinking of a solution.
' I have an idea, why dont we wait until the children come out of school,though as lengthy as the wait may be,ask them and the teachers questions, then tonight, sneek in and have a look around.' said Giles.
' Or we could just find that spell that Ethan used to make us teenagers, pose as students and do it that way. See, then we will make 2 trips into one, and we wont get kicked off the premises by harrassing students. And that way, the kids will open up to us more.' said Willow simply.
' Uh, yes, that does sound like a rather good and well witnessed idea.'
' See, again, so much drama and long sentences. Why couldnt you just say " Good plan"? '
Ignoring her Giles ferreted through his bag at his side and pulled out the spell book.
' Ah, here it is. Let's just find th....' He trailed off.'Ok, here. Sprirts of youth and soul of time, make the object of wishing be young not only in mind. Dieties of life, make us as we once were, at the age of 13, make it occur.'
POOF! ( And I try to emphisize on the word POOF harder.)
POOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (There, now wasn't that better.)
' I think it worked. You know that spell we used on my parents, do you think it would be useful in making the teachers and pupils think that it's supposed to be our first day here, you know, so that they don't go all wiggy and say "Hey who are they?" and kick us out.' Said Willow.
' Yes, I do believe it would. What page was it?'
' I can do it.' said Willow, hoping to show Giles that she could do more than be the sidekick of all her friends. And besides, she had been practasing some small spells over the past few weeks, and she thought that she would make a hobby of it.
' I think that it should be I, as you have no experience in magicks.'
' Actually, I do.'
' Willow?'
' Don't pretend I'm a child Giles. I know sort of what I'm doing.'
' I can't pretend that I don't like you practicing magick, but, if you feel that you can do it, then show me what you can do.'
' Thanks. Oh here it is. Zomdrende.' she said as she waved her hand.
' Good show.'
' What time is it?' she asked.
' 9:15, why?'
' Because if it was early enough, we could go in now.'
They both began to walk to the small gate to go in, but found it was locked.
' There's anothr entry round the corner.' said a man in overalls carrying a black plastic bin bag.
' A- thank-you...?' tailed off Giles.
' Bob, Bob Dix. I'm the caretaker.' He gestured to the school then to his overalls.
' You two had better get in quick. You're late. Too late.' he said, and Willow got the feeling that he was really saying more than he was saying. If that made sense.
' Thanks.' she said as he turned and started picking up rubbish.
As they walked round the corner, Giles wondered what Buffy and Angel were up to.
Seccond thought, he didn't want to know.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Oh god! Angel! Ah, ah ah ah! Ooooooooh!'
'Buffy! Ah! ah! ah! God...Uh!'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the school, Willow and Giles took a good look at their surroundings.
The carpeting was blue with the school crest on it and the walls were blue too. Will just hoped the pupils mood didn't match too.
Giles aproached the reseption desk with Willow behind.
' Hello. Could you kindly tell us were the Principal is? It's our fist day.' he asked in a polite tone. But Willow supposed he was brought up on polite tones.
' Rupert Giles and Willow Rosenburg? Yes, just go down the hall and into his office, he will be with you shortly.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
' God that was good.' panted an exhausted Buffy.
' Wanna do it again?'
Buffy and Angel leapt on one another once more.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Hello. I'm Mr Bayliss. And here are your schedules. Sorry I have to cut this short. I have a meeting. I seem to forgot that you were comming until a couple of minutes ago. If anyone asks what group you are supposed to be in at that time, then just tell them to get Mr. Ward to sort you out. Nice to meet you. I hope you have a good time here at C.D.C.C.' he said and shook each of their hands hastily and left.
The morning went fast, and Giles soon found out that the school had plenty of problems in the demon dept. and Willow made friends with a girl named Kelly Bexon.
' Yeah, I just live round the corner from here. I go home for lunches. Don't see the point in staying for sloppy cafiteria food when I have mum at home.' she said and smiled.
' Cool.'
' So where do you live?'
' Oh, um, in Castle Donington.'
' What kinda groups do you like?' she asked.
' Chiveo Mono are cool.' Willow replied.
' Who?'
' You never heard of Chivo Mono? Proberly just us Americans then.'
After a beat she said,' You don't really sound like I expected over here. I mean, my friend Giles is English and sounds really pompus. I thought all English people sounded like that.'
' No. Americans think we do, but we don't. Only the rich and snobby talk like that. And the Queen, and apparently your friend Giles.' she smiled.
' Huh, never knew that.'
' S'allright. I thought you lot spoke really weird too.'
' Supose it's just daytime TV.'
' Supose.'
Kelly told Willow about her parents and brother, and about her best friend who left the school. Willow thought this girl had a pretty good life considering that she was living on a hellmouth, but of corse, Willow couldn't tell her that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Ah, Angel! God!.' Buffy cried out with orgasmic influence.
' Could you shut up, your makin' me sick!' Shouted Xander from the other room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The school day had ended and the students were pouring from the small black gate, eager to get home.
Giles and Willow made their way back to the hotel.
' Made a friend, Kelly Bexon.'
' How nice. But you were suppsed to be looking for information on the hellmouth, not make friends.'
' Sorry Mr. Hard as nails. But to get info, you have to be friendly. Plus, she seemed really nice.'
Willow jammed the key into the keyhole clumsily and stumbled into the room were Xander was tied up.
' I wished you had come earlier! The love puppies have been makin a racket all afternoon. Makin me want to heave.'
She said the spell to turn her and Giles back to normal and waved her hand, then Willow rolled her eyes at his comment and peeped into the other room.
' Both of them are sound asleep.'
' Great, now they sleep.' he said.
' Don't you just hate that. They mess around all day and you two slave away trying to do all the work.'
' That's not true, when it's nightime they will help. But, you know at the moment their reacion is kinda ''SUN!'' ' she said and wafted her hands round her head in a panicked kinda way when she said sun.
' Well I don't believe they will for a minute. Darkness comes and splits apart those who are together in one world.' he said.
' Whats that supposed to mean?' she asked.
' It's not supposed to mean anything,' Giles said.' He's distracting us. Buffy!' Giles lept up at the sound of a lamp falling and breaking. He flung open the door to see a dark figure in robes had his hands around Buffys throat and had her dangling in mid-air as he chanted something, Angel unconsious on the floor.
Giles pounced onto the man and Willow bent over Angel.
She slapped him on the face a few times to wake him to help Giles. Giles may be able to hold his own, but he had no supernatural strength, he was no vampire.
Giles was on the man's back being swung about like a lassoo, banging his fists into the mans head.
He let go of Buffy to deal with Giles, banging his head into the wall, knocking him unconsious too.
Buffy tried to get up, but fell down again when the guy's foot bashed down onto her back.
Willow went to grab his foot as he headed to the other room, but he thumped her in the face, causing her to blackout.
He walked into the other room, untied Xander and left in a whirlwind of fog, leaving only the broken warriors behind.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel began to rouse when he heard Buffy over him, talking to him.
It was just a blur at first, but then it became words, then a fragmented sentence.
' Angel, talk to me.....Giles......hospital......are....I...wake up....'
He grunted and opened his eyes to meet Buffys fearful green ones.
' Buffy. What...happened?'
' There was a guy, he knoked you unconsious, and the others. He hurt Giles pretty bad and Willow wont wake up.'
He crawled over to Willow, as she was the closest and felt her pulse.
' She'll be fine.'
Then he staggard over to Giles, inspecting the head wound.
' He needs a hospital. Come on, help me pick him up.'
' What about Willow, should we wake her up? We can't leave her here.' Buffy said.
' Put her in bed, leave a note and lock the door.' he replied.
' But what if he comes back and she's all alone? She wouldn't be able to defend herself.'
' We're going to have to. If Giles doesn't see a hospital now, he's going to die, Buffy.'
She did what Angel had told her to and they called and ambuence, waiting in the lobby.
They climbed into the ambulence when it arrived, Buffy holding Giles' hand while they drove.
She watched as a paramedic in white uniform pulled out a needle and took some of his blood...unable to take her eyes away. The intensity it held on her.
She then realised what the feeling was, she was hungry, her veins burning.
She felt like she was on fire, her every fibre of her being telling her to do something. Telling her to feed. To feed on human blood.
Angel saw her hard stare as blood filled the volume of the needle, mesmerised. He recognised the stare.
He grabbed her shoulder, trying to keep her in the real world, helping her not to lose her grip.
' Buffy'. he said shaking her gently.
She looked at him dazed, but the needle grabbed her attention once again. Luckily the paramedic had done with that, but Buffy could still see the blood comming out of the small hole in Giles' arm. She needed to get out of here, away from these people, these innocents.
Franticly, she turned to get up, get away. Shoving a paramedic out of the way, she swung the doors to the ambulence open and jumped out of the moving vehicle.
Angel stood up as the others looked on inamazement, taking in Buffy's actions.
' Buffy! Come back!'
She ran down the street in a mad rush, Angel, having just jumped out after her, could smell the panick and craving rolling off her in waves.
She turned a corner and came to a alleyway, dank with rolls of smoke in the air. Rats were squeeking in one corner amongst some rubbish bags, and Buffy could hear their every movement, thier heartbeat and rush of blood in their tiny little viens.
But another sound caught her attention,a couple making out, the young male groping at his gal's legs, reaching up her mini skirt. Buffy walked towards them, holding her gaze, her blood screaming to take advantage.
The female saw Buffy comming towards them and made her boyfriend look round.
' Yeah, whats up with you?' he asked bad temperdly after being disterbed.
' Nothing.' she said dazily.' Just lookin' for a place to eat. And I think I found one.
She punched the girl in the nose, knocking her out cold, the guy tried to nutt her at the back of the head, but she caught his arm and broke it before he could have a shot or get loose. Hitting him were it hurt, she then did a rounhouse kick, sending him flying into the discarded, rotting boxes.
Slinking towards him, Buffy picked him up by the collar.
Smelling his scent, she vamped out, revelling in the sensation it brang. All senses tingling.
His head fell back and she bit, hard, making the body jerk in pain, a thought of satisfaction in her mind.
Blood streaming into her mouth, she drank deeply. Human blood was new to her and made her body go wild with lust, filling all her thoughts and feelings, blocking all else out.
Why had I never tried human blood before?
The body hung limp in her arms, lifeless, a shell of a human.
' Buffy?' Angel stood there with a look of horror on his face.
