I heard Xander just on the fringes of going outside, heard him...heard him as if I were blessed with the hearing of a vampire. Set against the backdrop of demons screaming and howling and the crashing down of the deluge of the sky, I heard him say, without preamble, that Willow needed to go dark. To me, considering what was out there, I couldn't ( Read more... )

It was all so surreal. Hearing Giles tell everyone as they were going out the door, to work together in three and to watch each other's backs. We didn't have specific partners to work with. In retrospect, we probably should have, because we had time on the flight to make these decisions and we knew who was stronger and who was a better fighter then ( Read more... )

From Mexico to Los Angeles. It's all in a days work. We received word that Los Angeles was under attack by possible demons. There was no way we were going to ignore the call. The chopper was ready and we took off as soon as possible ( Read more... )

Giles had given the orders, but things had gotten jumbled as we raided this vampire Angel's weapons cache in his hotel. All of us could hear the demons outside, and all of the girls went for weapons. Some of their names, I still didn't really know, and when they had a weapon, they all started rushing out of the door ( Read more... )

Justin and I weren't exactly the best of friends. I had planned on killing him earlier this evening. He had let my Brandy die on the cruiseliner coming back to England from the States, and that was unacceptable, and not only because I still harbored feelings for Adria after twenty years, but because it went against the demon code. Not lifting a ( Read more... )

"Okay, everyone, the fight is on. You three stay together and watch each other's backs and fronts. Wesley, you are injured, so cover Spike and Illyria with the bullets and keep your ammunition ready to be reloaded. Don't let any demons get in between you. Spike, Illyria, watch your perimeters, fight back to back, and Wesley, you stay at a distance ( Read more... )

I didn't know how we would survive this, but we had survived it so far, everyione intact. Gunn was a little bloody, but had a broad sword and a gun, so I took him with me. Wesley was banged up too. So he had the same weapons, and I wanted he, Illyira and Spike to stay together ( Read more... )

When I look at my surroundings now, I wish I would have stayed locked in my room. If it wasn't for Bethany leaving like a mad woman, we wouldn't have to go out and track her butt down ( Read more... )

So, here I am in a place, headed for Los Angeles. I started a new life in Europe after Sunnydale sank into the ground. I wanted to start fresh. The only possible way I could have done that was to leave the U.S. Giles wanted me to settle in Cleveland, where the other Hellmouth lived, but I said no. All potentials are slayers now. They didn't ( Read more... )

My eyes opened. I looked around. It didn't take me long to realize that I was in a hospital. I swung my legs over to the side of the bed. Once I stood, and I fell back on the bed. "Dammit! Talk about losing control of my whole body. Come on, legs. Get a move on!" To my relief, I was the only one in the room. At least I didn't have to ( Read more... )
