A/N: Thanks for the reviews! We're glad you like it, keep reading and please keep reviewing!
By the time night had fallen, there was still no word from Buffy. Angel was really worried by now and wasn't doing anything to hide it.
"I'm sure she’s fine Angel" Willow tried to comfort him.
"You don't think she would've gone after the Judge by herself do you" Jenny asked trying to help although she knew more than the others did.
"No she's smarter then that" Giles reasoned, hoping he was right. Buffy, in the past had been impulsive and would do anything to keep the people she cared about out of danger, and the judge was definitely classified as danger.
"Well Deadboy was the last to see her." Xander reminded them.
In any other case Angel would've just glared but he was already on edge and he snapped.
He shoved Xander against the wall and pinned him there with his arm.
"What are you trying to imply, that I did something to her? I would and never will hurt her. I love Buffy." Angel said those last three words loud and clear to get the message across.
"Angel I know you are worried about Buffy but this isn't helping" Willow said as she pulled Xander out of Angels grip.
"I need . . . I just need" What Angel needed was Buffy in front of him unharmed and laughing with her friends.
"Look the sun is down why don't you start looking for her." Giles instructed.
Angel dimly nodded and headed out.
Cordelia rushed over to Xander.
"Are you alright?" she asked concern etching her features.
"Yeah I just have to learn when to keep my big mouth shut." he paused and looked in her eyes. "He really loves her doesn't he?"
She nodded and did something that shocked them all. Cordelia Chase kissed Xander Harris. But what happened next was even more shocking as Xander put his arms around her.
"What?" Willows voice was small and hurt describing exactly how she felt. Her best friend who she had the biggest crush on since forever, and their mutual enemy were making out like no one else was even there. They pulled apart and looked at her each looking a little guilty.
"Willow" Xander began but she ran off.
Evil doesn’t sleep. If anything it rests its mind so it could come up with torturous evil games to play when it wakes up. Buffy Summers wasn’t asleep and in a way she wasn’t Buffy anymore. The woman who lay limp in the corner was not her, it had no soul, no thoughts except evil, manipulative things.
Another woman sat on a rug near by, performing a ritual. If Buffy had any good left in her it was slowly drifting away, maybe that’s why she was whimpering.
“Free of soul, Free of mind. Let the being be free.”
When the woman sat up she was satisfied with what she had done.
The woman got up and unchained Buffy and then left the room knowing she would hopefully never see her again.
