Every where they turn or to look to, the forest seemed to be
taking on even more of a oppressive appearance than before under the
night sky, closing in on all three of them like tall dark shadows flickering eerily
through the cold air that became more colder with each second passing by.
Large branches slapped fiercely on their flushed cheeks while leaves fell
on them gracefully from the starry sky that twinkled with white hot light blazing across the midnight skies .
Then the forest plunged into the dead silence of the night.
Not even a soft whisper lingered throughout the forbidden and dark forest no more.
Everything in the woods was eerie and silent.
Leaves and branches graveled and crunched under Buffy, breaking
the heavy silence that lingered throughout the eerie night.
Tiny wisps of smoky breath escaped from her lips, lingering
with the airy mist that surrounded and blanketed the ominous forest.
Still, no sound pierced the night. All was dead silent and still.
Then came a rustling from behind them.
Senses told Buffy that there weren’t alone any longer.
Something else in the night was with them, hiding between the lifeless trees that seemed endless.
“We…should….go. It could be *them,” the slim girl whispered fearfully, her
face radiating under the still silver kissed glow of the moon.
Pools of tears glistened and shimmered under the silver glow in sheer brilliance.
Buffy whispered for her to stay quiet when she heard another
rustling between the dark trees, its hidden eyes gazing at them hungrily.
Then another rustle came.
And another.
Buffy slowly turned her head around, only to see that Angel
had disappeared once more into the silent darkness.
Senses told her to hide, but she knew she couldn’t leave just yet.
Her eyes gazed into the darkness when she saw piercing
red eyes flickering through the dark trees, gazing cruelly at both girls.
Soft laughter billowed throughout the night forest, echoing through
the cool air that brought on a soft breeze, ruffling the lifeless trees in a enchanting dance.
Another rustle came. And another.
More laughter billowed softly through the night, startling the girls out of their reverie.
That was when the familiar tall, dark shadows stalked slowly
towards them, like hidden panthers stalking the night silently.
The girls were surrounded by the eerie tall shadows that were gazing at them
cruelly, all laughing softly that broke the dead silence that lingered around them.
Tall, shadowed figures clothed in dark cloaks surrounded the girls, carrying
lit torches that flickered shadows in the middle of the woods.
“What….are…..we….gonna….do?” the girl whispered, shivering, her
own small eyes widening with excruciating fear that blossomed on her face.
The cloak figures were getting closer and closer, and the girls could feel the
heat radiating from the lickering flames that burn brightly through the darkened forest, cascading its warmth.
“If they found out I escaped, they’ll kill me,” the girl continued
to whisper to Buffy, flickering shadows blossoming her pale face.
“Who are they?” Buffy whispered back, her eyes never leaving those of
the looming tall shadows that were stalking them like hungry tigers eyeing their innocent prey.
“They belong to those of the Night Ones. They’re servants of the Leader.
They’re all male witches who capture those that try to escape from the mansion,” the girl
whispered in reply, crunching on broken branches underneath her, eyes searching
through the night for a way to escape from the treacherous
shadows that were looming closer and closer.
Buffy’s ears picked up another sound that
growled dangerously behind the cloak figures that stood before them.
It sounded like the growl of the jaguar but it sounded like this time it
wasn’t the only shadow stalking the night along with the cloaked figures..
Something else was there along with it.
Hazel eyes widened at the sight of two predatory animals.
The jaguar that radiated danger and beauty
under the full moon’s glow and a black panther, it’s brown eyes flickering
and glistening under the silver glow, lashing its tongue out
dangerously, stood side by side, glancing dangerously at they prey.
Without warning, the exotic animals lashed out against the cloaked figures and
already blood was beginning to spill into the forest floor, shimmering under the silver glow.
Both girls hid behind the lifeless trees, watching the scene
before them with captivating eyes and awe blossoming on their faces.
Everything went into dead silence once again with shadowed
bodies filling the fallen brances and leaves, dark
red liquid shimmering and glistening under the moon glided
onto dark pools of blood that spilled under the airy mists.
Everything was silent but soon Buffy felt those familiar obsidian eyes
on hers that were glowing fiercely
through the darkness, watching her as it transformed into Angel once again.
The other exotic animal that was lazily sitting on a broken tree stump
transformed as well into a familiar, beautiful man that Buffy had seen once before she had met Angel.
Spiky brown hair glistened as the stranger’s piercing brown
eyes gazed at Buffy with a arrogant smile tugging at his perfect lips.
The sight of the beautiful stranger that stood before her
took her breath away.
What the hell was he doing here??…
