Just then the headmaster`s face appeared in the fireplace.
"Ahem... It is good to see that you came to an agreement. And I hate to disturb you but the arrangements for your trip are finished. You will apparate to the train station and take the next train to London. From there you will fly to California and then take a taxi to Sunnydale. If something happens you can contact me through the mirror I gave you, Severus or use a fireplace. You will be given an portkey for emergency. I wish you a save travel and be careful! It is dangerous on the Hellmouth!"
With that the three were left alone.
"I think we should get ready." Severus said. He suddenly wasn't so eager to leave Hogwarts and go to the Hellmouth with his two new found lovers.
‚Or rather soon-to-be-lovers'
He couldn't help but think about the three of them together in bed. How it would be to have both under him, writhing in passion and endless desire. Doing things like....
Severus groaned in the back of his throat as he got hard. There wasn't any time to start something.
‚Pity'
After they had everything packed they left Hogwarts and began their travel.
***************
Several hours later
The three men sat together in the taxi to Sunnydale. They were tired and felt
very much in need of a shower.
As they came near the city they could feel a change in the air.
A tension seemed to built in their veins and they looked out of the window just in time to see the Welcome Sign.
Somebody adapted to fit the Hellmouth because the `dale` in the name was crossed out and `hell` was written above.
"I don't like this town. It just don't feel right." Sirius said from the backseat.
"I can only agree with that, Siri. I don't even have to go out to smell death and demons." He told him in a low voice so only Siri could hear it. Severus who listened to their conversation just looked straight ahead.
The driver was just listening to the radio. He was eager to get out of this town and he wouldn't do anything to stay longer than he had to.
**********
They arrived at a hotel and checked in.
After they unpacked everything they wanted to take a walk to get to know this town.
To make sure nothing happened each took his wand and a portkey directed to their hotel room.
"There are so many graveyards here! How is it the people that live here don't know about the things that happen around here..."
"Sirius that is the hellmouths power. It has to exist and it's power lures demons here."
Just as they rounded a corner they ran into a blond girl with a red head on her side.
**************
"Can you believe that Giles thinks we are researching in our dorm. He is my watcher. So it is his job to do this things. And he has got Xander, who isn't good for anything else than to run and buy food. So we two are free to look for hot boys." The blond Slayer exclaimed.
Buffy Summers had changed over the time. She didn't feel like she was a Slayer. No, she was The Slayer and anybody should be at her beck and call.
"You are right. I just can't believe that Tara would rather stay with them than come with us! Although it is more fun this way. Once I have everything from her I need she will have to go." The red headed witch said smugly.
Willow Rosenberg was now a power hungry witch and only did what she thought was right. She and Buffy thought that the others were just there to help them and admire them.
Both had to be the best in everything. They thought themselves very intelligent and that they were the most beautiful girls.
Every time someone of the group tried to be better they showed them the errors in thinking so.
A few weeks ago Xander had come to the magic shop and tried to get Giles and Oz to make a movie night. Without the girls. No, the girls should patrol and keep the people save.
What they didn't do. They went to the Bronze and stood by as a demon killed a few girls of the age of sixteen.
The next day they went to Giles and said that they couldn't be everywhere at the same time and if they had had help this wouldn't have happened.
Xander felt so guilty that he hadn't taken any break from either working, researching or patrolling.
"I hope Angel comes alone and doesn't bring his entire pets with him" Buffy was furious that Angel had taken Spike in after he fled from Sunnydale a month before to get away from her nastiness.
She couldn't think of a reason why he would care for Spike. He was just worthless and useless.
Willow had the same opinion. But the other from the LA Crew were all useless and weak.
Gunn, who never even met Willow was just a weak human just like Xander.
Wesley, OK he was trained as a watcher but that was it. He could do a few spells that were elementary and nothing more.
Cordelia, who tried to be beautiful but couldn't reach Buffy and herself in the process.
And finally Faith, the disturbed Slayer. She had been released from prison two month ago and Angel was so stupid and had taken her in.
They couldn't think of one person within the groups of either LA or Sunnydale who was worthy of them.
With the exception of Angel. He would be Buffy's once Willow could anchor his soul.
Buffy was convinced that Angel was her soul mate and would love her till the end of time.
She didn't want to think about the times when he wouldn't react to her phone calls or how he didn't call her for birthday, Valentine's day or any other holiday.
She thought that the others were distracting him.
Just as she wasn't paying attention someone rounded the corner and ran into her.
*************
Angel had all the time still called Giles or Xander every week to make sure nothing happened.
All the time he just wanted to forget Buffy. His feeling for her had changed after he heard about the changes in her attitude. The last feelings for her died as Spike stood on his doorstep... starved and beaten.
He swore his child that he would get revenge.
Two days before Spike had shown Angel and Cordelia received a gift from the PTB. Angels soul was now permanent and Cordelia hadn't visions anymore. As they asked what the reason was the Powers told them that soon would a prophecy come true which would destroy the evil and that they had to go to Sunnydale.
So they called Giles and told him they were on their way.
Spike and Angel had been loves since that day. They had been in the past but now there wasn't the issue of Sire and Child between them. But something was not right. Something was missing. But what could that be?
Now they crew was packing to go to Sunnydale. It seemed that Willow and Buffy were out of control and Giles, Xander, Oz and Tara were paying for it.
They would also take someone there who wasn't expected.
He had arrived hours ago and made a vow to be a part of the group, not to harm anyone and to be peaceful.
"I am coming, Ripper. They will pay for what they did to you and the others!"
Ethan Rayne smiled viciously.
