Author's Notes: I left "The Substance of Evil" pretty much open ended, and it didn't xactly make me happy, So I wanted to add a real ending. So if you are reading this and get confused.. read the original "The Subsatnce of Evil".
BTW: Ethereal is a real word.. look it up. The story picks up two days after the original.

Part Two
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xander policed himself from screaming at the top of his lungs in terror."Vic.. What're you doing here? Again?" Xander spit the words out of his mouth as fast as he could.
Victor's essece was apparent.
Xander's eyes were being blinded by the blueish light that surrounded Vic's almost transpaent body.
"The demon still dwells," Vic's voice sounded like mutiple echoes.
It's sound sent chills down Xander's spine.
"What?" the bewilderes Xander was confused.
He stared at Victor's feet which were stil floating a few inches off the ground .
"I thought I killed the demon, But I still felt its prescence on earth," Victor shakingly said.
Xander was still confused.
"How can you tell?" Xander eyes squinted for a moment.
"I can just feel it," Victor forcefully yelled back with assurance.
"Well, uh.. thanks for the clear answer", Xander continued," But What do you want from me?"
"Well, Once a parasidic demon is defeated, but not destroyed, it goes after the ones who attacked it," Vic answered back.
"So.. ," Xander tried to think.
"Buffy."
Xander's voice was fearful now.
"Buffy", Xander realized.
Victor's body began to twitch, his lightnig blue body flickering into nothing.
"I warned you.. ," Victor's voice sounded out, repeating the same line over and over until Vic completly dissapeared.
Xander scrambled in his room, What was he going to do next? Call Buffy? Wait for her at school and tell her? Was she in danger at the moment?
He quickly darted to the phone nearest to him.
* * *
The phone rang violently, over and over.
Until a half asleep Joyce Summers picked up the phone.
A hysterical Xander was on the other end.
"H-Hello, Is B-Buffy there?" His voice was unnerved.
"No, i'm sorry, she's not in at the moment, may I ask who's calling?" Joyce questioned back.
Xander quickly Hung up the phone.
Joyce Summers just shrugged and hung up her phone.
* * *
"Oh man, Oh man, Oh man, this is bad voodoo man!" Xander said to himself out loud.
He tried to register the thoughts in his head.. ..
The Bronze wasn't open tonight, Where could Buffy be?!
"Willow!" he shouted out, quickly he pulled out the phone again, frantically dialing the numbers which had been regular 7 digits tatood on his brain.
He remembered that Willow had told him, that Buffy was hanging out there that night.
"Pick up baby, pick up," Xander's encouraging words spilled over the dialtone.
* * *
Willow crept into the living room, carrying a large bowl of popcorn, handing it to Buffy.
The two girls were in their Pajamas, Buffy's Pink and oversized, while Willow's was was covered with wacky designs.
It was a slumber party. Willow's parents were out for the night, and she didn't want to be alone.
So Buffy voulenteered herself to hang with Willlow tonight.
The girls rented three films, one, horror, one a love story, the other a comedy.
"Ahh, fattening food!" Buffy smiled quickly letting the aroma of the pop corn creep up her nostrils.
Willow smirked, raising one eyebrow, she began to program the VCR.
The phone was not off the hook, the girls didn't want to be bothered tonight. They both wanted to forget the outside world, enjoy some movies and most importantly talk about the boys they dreamt about.
* * *
Xander beat the phone ontop the reciever,"Pick up the mother.."
Right then Xander's mom caught him almost releasing an expletive.
"What were you going to say?" Xander's mom said with authority.
"Xander tripped over his tounge.
"Uhhhhhhh," Xander tried to cover his tracks," Mother Nature.. isn't it beautiful?"
He let out a little nervous laughter.
Xander's mom, squinted one eye and went back to her bedroom.
"Shazbot!" Xander yelled.
He quickly got on his feet, put on his sneakers and jacket and ran out the front door.
He forgot that he was still in his boxer shorts, but that was the last thing on his mind.
* * *
Willow put the first tape in the VCR,"Scary moooovie," Willow Tried to make a menacing voice while shaking hr hands in the air.
It made Buffy laugh.
Willow picked up the VCR remote as she was about to plant herself on the couch next to Buffy, who was eating popcorn kernals one by one.
When a sudden knock pelted the house's front door.
Willow jumped at the sound.
"Oh man," Buffy moaned.
"I'll get rid of whoever it is, nicley of course. ', Willow cracked a smile.
Willow walked towards the door, when she looked throught the peephole, no one was there.
She grimaced and turned away, when the door ripped off of it hinges and and teo hands, grabbed willow and dragged her out.
"Buffy!!!!" Willow screamed out.
Buffy dropped all of the popcorn on the ground, and ran towards her friends cries for help.
Willow was gone, a trail of white ooze leading down the street.
"Oh my god," Buffy's face went pale.
A freezing Xander ran down the street!
"Buffy! Buffy! Thank god you're safe!" he was beginning to lose his oxygen.
Bending over placing his hands on his knees to catch his breath.
Buffy stared at Xander, eye to eye.. .. .
"What?" Xander quickly realized the sorrow in Buffy's face.
"Willow.. she's been kidnapped. ," Buffy was horrified at the thought of losing another friend, one she cared for.
Xander lowered his brow.
The both looked at the white trail on the ground.
"Let's go," Xander's voice was in a deep tone now.
The two ran down the avenue, hoping that they hadn't lost Willow forever.
