Part Two

"Nothing!" Buffy yelled, scared and frustrated. "If this girl is so powerful, then why can't we find one stinking bit of information on her?"

Giles looked briefly at Buffy and then held his head low. For the first time in his life as a watcher, he didn't know how fix this. Even with the Master, he was willing to offer himself, but this time, that wouldn't work.

"Wait, I think I found something. Yes, I found it." Willow looked around the library trying to grab everyone's attention. Buffy rushed up behind Willow who was sitting at her laptop.

"What? What'd you find?!?" Buffy couldn't control herself. The thought of her winning against Savarah seemed impossible, but the slightest hope was all she needed.

"Whoh! She sure looks good for someone who's 1200 years old."

"1200?" Buffy and Willow both leaned closer to the computer to examine the picture and facts next to it. "Yeah, I'd have to say she looks good."

"In 794, she was transformed by a vampire known as Rockter. He was a big and as bad as the come. Months after she became a vampire, Rockter faced a slayer to the death. After hours of fighting, the element of exhaustion was factored in and he was killed. When Savarah found out about this, she avenged her sire's death by going after the slayer. Savarah killed the slayer in minutes."

"Wait, she was a vampire? What about this "human" thing she was talking about?"

"I'm getting there." Willow tried not to snap, but Buffy's enthusiasm towards killing Savarah was being to freak her out. "In her years, Savarah faced and killed 4 Slayers. Each one, she killed with ease. At the age of 600, Savarah encountered a man who called himself, 'The Dark One.' He made her a deal she couldn't resist. His time as 'The Dark One' was near its end and he wanted Savarah to take his place. Her strength and willpower was more than enough to prove that she was the only candidate for the job. She accepted and took over as 'The Dark One'.

"'Dark One?' What the hell is that?" Buffy's voice trembled with fear.

"The Devil." Giles quietly added in.

"What?" Buffy gasped and stared at Giles, impatiently waiting for an answer.

"'The Dark One' is not exactly the devil, but the name fits. It's the ruler of the darkness. Every vampire, demon, and creature of evil worships it. Vampires are the worst, they would kiss the ground she walked on if asked to do so."

"I really don't see Angel as the ground-kissing type."

"I'm afraid to say, but Angel is the worst of all."

"Oh," Buffy spoke under her breath. She dropped her head as far as she could.

"Angel. You know this Slayer pretty well, huh?"

"You could say that." The slightest bit of fear exposed itself in his voice.

"Good. Then you can come with."

"Where?"

"We're going to pay our little Slayer a visit. When she faces me, I want it to be fun. And it won't be any fun if she isn't scared."

"I do love the way you think," Angel spoke with a small grin on his face. "Among other things."

Savarah smiled lightly back at him. "We'll be back in a while. You two hold down the fort while we're gone."

"We'll do that," Spike responded sarcastically.

"Spike..."

"Sorry."

Angel was shocked. In his time knowing Spike, he had never seen him apologize to anyone but Dru. Angel and Savarah left the warehouse hand in hand. It was completely dark outside now.

As they left, Drusilla fell into one of her visions. Spike rushed to her side as she collapsed into a chair.

"Dru! What do you see?"

"She knows. She knows everything. Something's going to go wrong. Someone will betray."

"Dru, who?"

"The Slayer." Drusilla went unconscious and fell off the chair. Spike caught her in his arms and pulled her onto his lap. He was worried, but not sure for whom. He wheeled the two of them off to the bedroom.
