Another soft whisper billowed softly through the cool night breeze, its
words lingering around Buffy hauntingly in a slow, soft murmur.
"Help me," the soft voice whispered in her ear pleadingly.
The night air became more cooler while leaves rustled against the breeze.
"Someone's here," Buffy whispered to Angel, pulling back tendrils of hair
behind her ear, her eyes searching through the night forest for
hungry eyes that were lingering behind the lifeless trees.
"Help me," the whispered voice pleaded once more.
The sound of crickets once again sang in nightly symphony all around Buffy.
Crows screeched while owls that stood on the lifeless branches gazed at
Buffy with its large, haunting eyes that stood out in the eerie forest.
A chill pressed through her slim form as leaves crunched softly
underneath her, still feeling the hidden eyes watching her, waiting in the darkness.
Hazel eyes searched throughout the forbidden forest for eyes that stood out until she
heard soft gasping and panting coming from where the weathered graveyard stood.
The weathered tombstones took on a grotesque and ominous appearance under the silver
glow of the full moon, radiating on a tall shadow that was swaying back and forth
in tune to the sound of the soft breeze cascading through the woods.
The tall shadow moved closer to Buffy as her heart began to pick up
rapidly while tiny goosebumps shivered under the cool breeze.
Buffy took a step back, crunching and breaking a fallen branch that lay behind
her as the tall shadow crept closer and closer, its shadowed arms reaching out to
her until she could feel herself falling on top of
the branches and leaves that rustled underneath her.
White mists carpeted her like a soft white blanket as she felt the
shadow's eyes lingering on hers, obsidian against the silver kissed glow of the moon.
No words escaped from Buffy's lips as she felt shadowed arms
grabbing hold of hers tightly, its fingers clasping around her wrists until she
felt the shadow move away from her, the strong
hands of Angel's clasping its shoulders roughly.
Tiny wisps of smoke escaped from her lips, creating a soft white mist that
surrounded her as she pulled herself up, shivering against the night air.
The full moon kissed its silver kissed glow on her face, radiating from its
breathtaking beauty that stood out from the everlasting darkness that surrounded her.
Her hazel eyes widened at the tall shadow t
hat stood before her, the airy mist
surrounding its small frame as well.
Another missing person.
Buffy's eyes widened even more.
"I'm so sorry i scared you. I didn't know where else to go or to turn to.
I was trapped inside that mansion with *them*. They did things to me," a female voiced shivered softly.
The silver glow revealed the face of a cinnamon, short hair girl with
pale facial features that stood out against the glow from the night sky.
Fear etched in the girl's naturally beautiful features, her brown eyes wide with terror.
"Please you need to help me. I need to get away from this forest.
If *they* found out i escaped, they'll come after me," the girl pleaded.
Leaves that rustled all around them fell gracefully from the starry sky.
Buffy felt dark, obsidian eyes that belonged to Angel's lingering into her silently.
Once again, the forbidden forest plunged into the eerie everlasting
silence while two pairs of eyes lingered on the girl suspiciously.
No nightly sounds emancipated from the eerie woods once again, only the
familiar dead silence welcomed the three trespassers that haunted the forest.
"How do we know you're not one of *them?" Buffy eyed and questioned
the girl suspiciously, picking up a thick branch that had fallen near her boot.
"I'm *not* one of them! I swear I'm not! If one of those cloak figures find out i escaped..." the girl
stopped, looking over her shoulder for the eerie presence
of the cloak figure who might be lingering quietly nearby.
"Please you need to help me!" The girl continued to plead before Buffy quieted her into silence.
There was something else there in the dark forest with them.
Her senses could feel it.
Smoke billowed from her lips and she
clutched the girl's hand tightly in hers, urging her to stay quiet.
Rustling loomed from where the eerie mansion stood in the darkness, but
she couldn't glance at anything that was hiding under the dark.
Buffy and Angel heard a rough voice from a few feet away behind the trees.
"Where is she you dolt?? She wasn't suppose to escape!!" One rough voice
yelled, breaking the nightly silence that bellowed the forest.
"We need to get outta here," Angel whispered, his sharp fangs glistening under the silver kissed glow.
"The Leader will kill you if she finds out one of the missing residents escape.
Find her now!" The rough voice continued, getting much closer.
"I told you so," the girl cried, tears pooling in her eyes that shimmered in the night.
"Let's go," Buffy whispered, clutching the girl's hand more tightly around
hers, and she, Angel, and the girl took off through the forest to escape....
