Chapter: 8
While driving to her new hide out, Carmen's thoughts
went back to Calvin. Tears came to her eyes when she
thought about what happened to her twin brother. Calvin
had come to Sunnydale on some business with a vampire
named Lucas. Lucas decided to welcome his guest with a
feast of about ten teenagers and one of the Slayer's
friends were killed. When Buffy arrived at the party all of
the vamps fled except Calvin who wasn't too bright.
Buffy's friend, the well-known Angelus caught him and
tortured him to tell her the whereabouts of Lucas. When
he refused he was staked and since he was part demon he
bleed to death. She shuddered when she thought about
what happened to Calvin. He was her only living relative,
her best friend and if it wasn't for the Slayer and Angelus
he would still be alive. "You're going to pay Slayer for
taking my brother away. I promise you, you will pay with
your life," Carmen said as they pulled up to the new hide out, where
Buffy would meet her end.

"Tell me what you know and I promise I wont kill you," Spike said as he
held the other vamp by the neck. "Ok I'll tell you. Have you ever heard
of Catriona?" Spike thought about it, "Yeah, what about her? I thought
she was dead?" The captive vamp shook his head, "She is back and very
powerful. She is no ordinary vampire, she is part demon and has the
power to control ones mind. She has tortured many with her power."
Spike became agitated, "I know that already but what would she want
with the Slayer?" he said as he tightened the grip on the vamp's throat.
"Why would any vampire want to get their hands on the Slayer . . . With
the exception of you?" he said with a smirk. "Get to the point Lucas, I
don't have all night and neither do you if you get my drift." Lucas
gulped, "she's back to avenge Calvin of course. You see the Slayer and
Angelus killed him, her twin brother. Poor chap bled to death." It was
the first time Spike heard of this incident for he was in England at the
time. "Is there anything else you have to tell me?" Lucas shook his head.
Spike grabbed a stake and stabbed Lucas in the heart. "I only keep
promises to Buffy." And with that said he and Anya went back to
Buffy's house to tell Giles what they found out. "I'm coming Buff, hang on, be strong luv."

GILES /WILLOW etc POV
"Giles come quick I think I found Buff's location!" Willow excitedly
yelled to Giles. "What, you've found Buffy?" Giles asked as he hurried
over to Willow. "The location is just off 13th street between oak and
maple . . ." Willow was interrupted. "That's the street where the old
warehouses are." Giles and Willow turned to see who spoke, it was Oz.
"Oz, what are you . . . How did you . . ." Oz went over to Willow, "It
doesn't matter. I'm back and I heard about Buffy." Willow stood there,
shocked. She snapped out of it and rain into Oz's arms, hugging him.
"Oh Oz, you're back," she said. "It doesn't matter now Will, we'll talk
about that later. Right now we have to save Buffy." Willow nodded her
head in agreement, "right, we should round up the others and head to the
warehouses."
~*~
"So she's gone again?" Dawn asked Xander after he explained to her
what was happening. "Yeah, but don't worry Dawnie, we'll find her.
Spike, Anya, Willow and Giles are out looking for her right now. Plus,
Buffy can fend for herself. You know how strong your sister is." Dawn
nodded trying to keep tears from falling down her eyes. She lost Buffy
once, she couldn't lose her again. "Come on Dawn, let's go downstairs
and see if Will and Giles have made any progress." Dawn nodded and
somberly followed Xander down the stairs."

"Giles we found out who might have taken Buffy," Anya said as she
and Spike walked through the door. "That's great, but we've got greater
news. We know where Buffy is," Willow exclaimed. "You what? Then
why are we bloody still standing here? Lets go get her," Spike said. "We
are. But we don't know what we could be going against." Spike shook
his head, "Did you not hear Anya? We know who took her. Giles have
you ever heard of Catriona?" Giles looked through one of his books,
"Oh dear." "What is it Giles?" Willow and Oz asked. "We're dealing
with a very ancient, very powerful vampire," he said solemnly. "I
already new that," Spike said. "And turns out she's not just a vampire,
she's part demon, a powerful one at that. She has the power to read and
control minds," he added. "Is Buffy strong enough to resist her power?"
the soft voice of Dawn asked. "Dawnie, are you alright?" Willow asked
when she noticed who was speaking. "I'm fine. But you didn't answer
my question. And don't give me false hope; I'm old enough to handle
the truth. I'm sixteen for Pete's sake," Dawn said, now getting
frustrated. Giles answered her question when no one else spoke,
surprised by her boldness and maturity, "Buffy's strong but . . .But we
cant be sure that she will be able to beat Catriona on her own." Dawn
nodded and then she noticed Oz. "Who are you?" she asked. "I'm an old
friend of Willow's. I know Buffy and Xander too." Xander had just
noticed Oz's presence too, "Hey man, nice to have you back. Oz
nodded. "Hate to interrupt this little reunion but we know where Buffy is
and who has her. So lets grab some stakes and find her now!" They were
all used to (except for Oz) Spike's tone when he was worried about
Buffy so they all nodded, grabbed some weapons and headed towards
the warehouses. "I'm getting closer Buffy. Luv, I will find you before its
too late. I swear to you," Spike said as he headed out the door not
knowing that he was one step behind Buffy.
