Part One
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffy carefully slipped on the loose black silk pants. With a sigh, she sat back down on the bed. Even with the extreme bagginess of the pants, she could still see the bandages on her legs.
*If I go out, Giles will definately notice. And Faith can take care of most of the Slaying tonight. Sick day.* she decided. She took off her shoes, and shoved them under the bed.
"Mom?" she called, leaning back on the bed, and covering her legs with the blankets. Her mom came in. "Yes, Buffy?"
"I'm not feeling so good. Can I stay home today?"
Buffy's mom nodded. "All right. But I have to go to the gallery today. Are you sure you'll be alright?"
Buffy smiled. "I'll be fine, Mom." she said. "I just need a little rest, that's all. I should be fine by this evening, so I'll patrol."
"Alright. I have to work late at the gallery." her mother said. Then she left.
Buffy watched her go. Then she reached over, and pulled her chest over. She pulled out the first fake bottom to expose her Slayer's supplies, and then she lifted that level out.
A jewel rimmed goblet, a silver athame, a green robe, and a picture bound entirely in blue ribbon sat in the bottom on top of various packages of herbs and candles.
*MOO definately would have had a field day with this.* she thought, pawing through the herbs. Finally, she found the herbs she was looking for, and put the fake bottoms back in.
Carefully, she made her way down to the kitchen, and took out her mother's mortar and pestle. Taking some of the herbs out of their packets, she put them in, then looked in the freezer for the can of bacon fat she knew was in there.
After she ground the herbs, she took out a small bowl, and mixed the herbs and fat together thoroughly.
Carrying the small bowl up to the bathroom, she sat down and peeled off the bandages, then slathered on the salve. Her legs tingled as she applied it.
Buffy put fresher bandages on. Then she covered the bowl, and hid it under her bed. Then she put the herbs back in the bottom of her chest, and lay down on the bed.
She fell asleep almost immediately.
