[Heaven and Hell VII]
Buffy quickly ran over to wear she heard the screams. There she saw two girls, one brunette and one blond being taken away by three vampires. The brunette girl looked liked the girl she had bumped into this afternoon, but a second glance showed she was wrong. Among the vampires was also a green-scaled demon, which by the looks of things was the leader. “Didn’t anyone ever tell you guys that no means no,” Buffy said with sarcastically. The green demon looked at Buffy and then turned to of two of the vampires. “Kill her.” “Kill her. How original. You obviously are not from around here because that line has been used already,” Buffy quipped as the two vampires approached her. Buffy dusted the first vampire really quickly using Mr. Pointy. As the second one came upon her she delivered a hard kick to his stomach followed by an uppercut punch. With the vampire down on ground, she straddled the vampire and staked him.
Buffy stood and began to advance on the last vampire, when she noticed that the green demon had fled with the brunette girl. The vampire looked nervously at the Slayer while holding on to the blond girl. His fear got the better of him. He released the girl and ran of. Buffy decided not to pursue him. Instead she looked around for any signs of where the green demon had gone with the other girl. Buffy looked at the girl who was shaking on the ground. “Don’t worry. I will find your friend.” Just then scream pierced the night.
Buffy followed the scream through the park. She ran as fast as her slayer speed could take her. She was heading in the direction of the old caves by the lake when she spotted the green demon and the girl. Buffy grabbed the demon from behind causing him to release the girl. Buffy looked at the girl and shouted, “Go!” Without hesitation she ran off to go find her friend.
Buffy threw the demon up against the tree, holding him by his neck. “Here’s the deal. I’m going to ask you some questions and you’re going to answer. If you’re a good demon, I might let you live,” she said. “I will never tell you anything,” the green demon choked out. “Oh I think you will. Who do you work for? What is his name?” “I will tell you nothing.” Buffy strengthened her grip on his throat and banged his head hard against the tree. “Whoops, wrong answer. Try again.” The demon’s black claws began to grow and he imbedded one hand into her side. Buffy let go of the demon and staggered back. “Wrong move, Bitch.” The demon began to advance, but Buffy gave a sharp blow to his knee, breaking the knee cap. She knew she was hurt and decided not to risk it. She ran as fast as she could through park to escape.
The green demon tried to follow, but his injuries were too much. He limped slowly back to the caves to face the wrath of Macero. He was not going to be pleased.

All the Scoobies, including Spike, were gathered around Giles’s apartment researching when Buffy staggered in from her patrol. “Oh, my Goddess! Buffy what happened,” Willow asked. “No big deal Will. I’ll be OK by tomorrow. Accelerated healing abilities. Comes with the whole Slayer package,” Buffy said as she sat down gingerly on the couch. Giles crouched down beside her, medical supplies in hand and began to dress her wounds. “What happened,” he said. Buffy began to describe the events of night to everyone.
After Buffy stated all that had happened she gave a clear description of the girls. “One of the girls was a brunette and the other girl was a blond.” “Well, I’ve been doing research on the net on the missing girls. It seems as though most of the girls kidnapped were of medium height and build with dark hair and green eyes. The few blond girls that were kidnapped were friends of the brunettes and they were usually last seen together,” Willow said. “That definitely fits the description of the two girls I saved tonight. The brunette girl seemed familiar. She looked like this girl I bumped into this afternoon. I first I thought it was her. Oh my God! Giles I forgot to tell you about the girl this afternoon,” Buffy exclaimed. “I was running back to my dorm room to get ready for training when I bumped into this girl. Her papers flew out of her binder so I went to help her pick them up. All of a sudden I got the strangest feeling from her. It was like my spider sense, but different. It was totally wiggy considering it was daylight out.” “Did you happen to get her name? She might be the girl we have been searching for. If it was you may have been sensing her powers. Especially if she is as powerful as the demons claim she is,” Giles asked. “No, I didn’t get her name. She ran off so quickly. She did leave this behind though.” Buffy pulls the paper out of her pocket. She opens it up and reads. All of a sudden she is filled with hysterical laughter. “What’s so funny, Buff,” Xander asks. “Listen to this…’My heart expands/ ‘tis grown a bulge in it / inspired by your beauty, effulgent.” At this Xander and Anya begin to laugh. “That is some of the worst poetry I have ever heard,” Anya said. “And I’ve been around a long time.” Even Willow and Giles chuckled a little at the silliness of it.
After everyone had finished Buffy asked, “So what now?” “She obviously likes poetry, whether she wrote the poem herself or not. I could try and do a search tomorrow on the all the poetry books that have been taken out the library recently and see if anyone fits her physical description. I can also do a search on the students with that physical description taking poetry or literature classes.” Willow said. “That would be most helpful, Willow,” Giles replied.
During the gang’s laughter and discussion of what they were going to do, nobody noticed Spike’s angry and pained expression as he stomped out of Giles’s apartment.
