Buffy sat back in her hard plastic chair in her history class. Although her body was there her mind wasn’t. It was far off, in a different sort of past. The past of herself and Angel. Buffy started toying with the cladar ring Angel had gave her for her 17th birthday. She had turned the cladar ring around, so the heart faced out, if it faces you it means you belong to someone and Buffy certainly didn’t belong to Angel any longer. He was his own self. His know evil self.
“Miss Summers would you care to join us today?” asked a far off voice.Buffy snapped back to reality.
"Umm sorry, did you ask me a question?” she shifted in her chair and she looked away as she felt heat rush up her neck to her face. She glanced at Willow, her dear computer hacker friend, as also a Slayette. Willow gave out a helpless shrug and Xander had a look of pure amusement on his face. Buffy shrunk back in her desk hoping to completly disappear.
“I asked if you would care to join us today Miss Summers.” answered Mr Corel there new History teacher. It seemed they were always getting new teachers, and there was a huge problem with substitutes. Of course Xander always falls for them. There was the prang-mantis woman,who loved virgins, yes Buffy could name a few problems with the substitute teachersat Sunnydale High, it was the Hellmouth after all.
“umm sure, sorry.” murmured Buffy quietly, already distracted from History and all means. Mr Corel started to drown on about the early 1800’s, and again Buffy’s mind wandered back off towards Angel. She HAD to figure out how to cure him, give him back his soul... She wrote Willow a short desperate letter to help her find something to help Angel. “ Hey Willow? Psst! here.” with that she grabbed all her books into her arms and murmured some lame excuse about not feeling well and made a bee line for the classroom door.
I have to get out of here, NOW! Or I will completely flip, not that I haven’t already or anything. Buffy’s black tall heeled boots made an echoing sound on the floor as she headed toward the library. Buffy pushed open the door with her hip and flung her books across the floor, yelling at the top of her lings and making a huge dent in the wall were the books hit. Then again, she was the Slayer, and she had incredible streght. She didn’t notice.She flung herself into a chair , head in her hands she started weeping uncontrollably.
Gilles poked his head out off his private office door, seeing it was his Slayer he dropped his books which he was researching on the floor unnoticed and rushed to Buffy’s side.
"Buffy what has happened?” Gilles British accent seemed harsher than usual. He had never seen Buffy cry, let alone weep. He reached out to put a hand on her shoulder but drew it back. Not knowing what to do, he wasn’t very good at this kind of thing.
“Oh Gilles, it’s often, it’s terrible. I just can’t handle it any more.” with saying this she ripped the cross Angel had given her, off her throat as if to make a point and continued
"Right know if a vampire so mush as will BOO at me I will...” The library door burst open and Buffy stopped in mid-sentence. She looked away. Embarrassed. Willow walked in briskly, with Xander right on her heels.
“ What’s wrong Buffy? Mr Corel is really worried about you, he even excused us us for the rest of class,... to see if we could help.” Xander said stepping in behind Buffy, as he started to massage her shoulders tentivly
"No wait dumb question, sorry Buf, let me guess,it has to do with a bood sucking demond who you're in love with...?” Willow was already on her way to a computer. In quick hurried strides, she sat down on the well cushioned chair and started to type away at the computer, she seemed to completely vanish into the computer. She tapped away at a incredible speed.
* * *
“Buffy I’m not finding anything here that can help you , and your going to be late for your next class, it’s about to start.” Gilles called out from behind a big wall of book
“You might want to be on your way, if Principal Snyder finds out your skipping classes, you won’t be here for a while to come, you already skipped English.”
"Screw English Gilles, screw the world at this point. I really couldn’t care less at this point. And I’m not leaving till we find something !!! Is that to much to ask for? called Buffy from the corner of the room were all her weapons were to stake vampires and other undead creatures or werewolves. She looked back to her work. The stake she was making looked funny. It was way to small and it was so pointy Buffy immediately dropped it and took a step back
“Umm Gilles? Your right. I’m going to class know.” If I stay here for any more time I will kill myself, Buffy thought to herself with a shudder. Picking up her books for her Bio class, she hurried out of the library.
* * *
“Damn it, I forgot my cross at the library. Now I’ll have to go get i back.” Buffy cried out in her sleep. Buffy sat upright in bed
"Why the heck did that dream wake me up? Wired.” her feet hit the cold floor, and with a shudder she pushed herself from her bed. She thought to herself on the way to her closet.
"It must be important, have to get it...” what was before that cross part of the dream," all she remembered was it was all dark_and evil, only a yellow object shone out, the surounding darkness had seemed afraid, of it in a way. Buffy put on a short black skirt, a light lavender shirt, made sure her ring was on, grabbed her black leather jacket_ The on angel had given her. Put on her heeled shoes, got some stakes, just in case and opened her bedroom window. She jumped out of it quietly, Buffy walked around to the front of the house and started to walk towards the school.
“Why Is my Slayer sense tingling ?” She wondered out loud. She then saw a glint of silver off to the side. She went to inspect and picked it up , let out a gasp and put the objet in her skirt pocket. She continued walking.
* * *
Buffy went to the back door of the library and tapped on the door loudly twice, looked around to make sure no one was watching and tapped the door again. She heard soft footsteps, definitely not Giles. She waited.
"Well at least my sense went off,” Buffy whispered to herself just as the door opened and Willow peeked out trough the gap in the door. A look of surprise came across her face then one of guilt, or was it one of sorrow? Willow opened the door and the sound of Aqua at full blast hit her. Buffy wondered, Also the smell of freshly brewed coffee hit her full force. Willow stepped back to let Buffy in.
"Umm, hey Buffy. I’m kinda not done some research yet.” Willow said in a very quiet voice that got more and more high pitched.
“Aqua Will? What’s it for and drinking coffee?” Buffy cried out.
“Umm well I was really tiered and I needed to stay awake to finish this research, I found the Aqua tape in your locker.There actually pretty good, and I needed some caffeine, and I couldn't get a chocolate cause I didn’t have any money, I just borrowed the teachers lounge coffee maker.” Willow said looking very flushed.
"So your finally waking up and smelling the roses Will , good for you” Buffy told Willow happily.
“Would you like some coffee Buffy?”
* * *
“So basically you’ve been here since school ended and you didn’t find ANY information? what’s with the net, you’d think they'd have how to give a demon a soul. God! Damn it, I had had a good feeling on my way over, My Slayer sense must be going." Buffy exclaimed, obviously brooding.
“I tried Buffy, But the net doesn’t have anything on how to give a demon a soul.And what’s this about your *Slayer sense* thing?" Willow mussed. “ And why exactly did you come to school, not just cause of this *Slayer sense thing.* finish Willow.
"Well no I didn’t just come cause of my Slayer sense thing, I had a dream that was all dark and really freaky. Then it suddenly flashed to my cross, and it showed a yellow disk , then I woke up. I had left my cross here at school I threw it a Gilles to make a point, I came to get it. Be right back, It’s in the weapons room somewhere Willow . Now If you’ll excuse me for a moment.”
Buffy slowly surveyed the room for her silver cross necklace. Angel gave me this cross, he has given me almost everything I have. He was so sweet. He gave me his leather jacket, my cross, to protect me from Vampires, My cladar ring, he showed me hoe to loved, helped me fight and taught me how to kiss. Not to mention he saved my life more than once, when the three were after me, is one to mention, with the blood delivery day was an other. GOD I miss him!... Buffy’s mind wandered to Angel, as she spotted a glint of silver in the corner of the room.
“Ahh there my cross is is, good thing I didn’t lose it. Hey Willow, I found it.”
* * *
Buffy Slowly made her way back to Willow.
"Umm Buffy ? The computer just got screwed, we’ll have to ...Ahem... we’ll have to go use the computer room to use a computer.” The voice of Willow rung out somewhat forced.
"So here we are in Miss Calender’s old computer class, I certainly don’t feel any Dejá vu, Nope, none. I feel completely at ease and feel nothing.” whispered Willow hoarsely to Buffy. How can Willow feel so freacked? I’ve had way worse than her, and I’m more put together than Will. Poor her!
"I’m having an other Slayer Vibe here. Only this one is really good. Buffy didn’t realize she had said it out loud till she looked at Willow and Willow Gave her a really weird look. and Said “ Huh?” Willow just stared at Buffy clearly confused just stared at Buffy.
Buffy seeing her friends confusion tried to explain. “ It’s just a feeling I get when soothing is about to happen, when something bad is around, or I over looked soothing, it can be a good vibe or it can be a bad vibe , and this is a really good vibe, best one I have ever had. It’s just a 6 th sense to me , and it’s giving me a really good vibe.” Buffy almost flew to Miss Calender’s desk at the front of the desk.
"WILLOW! It’s over here, COME ON!!!” Buffy cried out very very excitedly.
“Willow I just found something that is going to change us, for the rest of our lives or at least a while anyway.” Buffy glanced at her fast approaching friend and leapt for joy.
