Giles frantically looked over all his volumes, to make sure the spell was correct. They didn't have much time, they still needed to make sure the demon would stay dormant and right now it was only frozen; for the time being. Willow came from Giles' office with a look of relief.
"I found the correct spell, it's the same as the first spell, only the wording is different, we need Buffy and Angel here; now."
Giles nodded and took off his glasses to pinch his nose, a sign that he was thinking under major stress. "Um..I think I found a way to bring Angel and Buffy back sooner than tomorrow night." Giles took a book from the other pile, and showed Willow the page. "If we perform this spell in the view of the sun, it will substitute the power of the moon.....it makes sense, the moon and sun have equal power."
"Then we have to do it now!!!" Willow said, hurriedly. "Does the spell need anything?"
"No ... we can do it now." Giles got out of his seat to light candles.
Angel traced his hand along Buffy's side, after their little game; the two settled down on the blanket, where they eventually made love in the sunlight. Buffy sat in his lap fully clothed now, as Angel was enjoying the aftermath of their union, kissing each other passionately.
Buffy pulled away first breathless. "Should we head back?" She asked, his mouth returning to hers immediately.
Angel didn't want to speak, he wanted to enjoy the moment with Buffy. Kissing her in the sunlight, watching the sunlight glow on her skin; Angel wanted to savor every moment as he savored the feel of her in his arms. He pulled away, ready to give Buffy his answer, until a dark cloud shadowed over the sun, and the sky became a pale gray......
In Sunnydale..... Giles and Willow held each others hands while they both of chanted in sync... "Gods of Time, here are prayer....."
Buffy and Angel got up from their spot, and looked around, they both had feelings that something was about to happen.
Taking her hand. "Let's go." Angel said, pulling her from their secluded area, leaving the things they came with and headed back toward the mansion.
Angel and Buffy began to pick up the pace, as the sky got darker. Buffy found it hard to run, she kept tripping over the skirts of her dress, and she was unable to hold them up like before. Angel noticed this, he stopped and picked her up into his arms;and ran back to the mansion, it was in his sight.
Giles pulled Willow's hands in the air along with his and chanted louder. "Guide your travels through your passage....let the light shine there way!!!!!!!"
When they reached the garden of the mansion, Angel set Buffy down, and they rushed to the door of the house, and a light blinded their eyes.......
Buffy and Angel found themselves on the floor of the library, with Willow and Giles leaning over them.
Willow scrambled next to them. "Are you guys ok??" She said, pulling them both into a fierce hug, she was worried about them, and she was glad they were safe. "I'm so glad you guys are alright."
Buffy and Angel returned the hug, while staring at each other the entire time, behind Willow's back, and the tears began to form in Buffy's eyes.
Giles breathed a sigh, when they acknowledged they were alright, he helped Willow and Buffy get up off the floor, and encased Buffy in a hug of his own. "Welcome home.." He whispered, extending his hand to Angel, for a handshake; also acknowledging the now ensouled vampire his relief of his safety as well.
"I'm sorry, I must cut this short, but the demon we originally tried to stop, isn't dormant."
Buffy and Angel looked at each other, silently and nodded. They walked toward each other and entwined their hands. Giles and Willow began performing the correct spell, as Giles chanted louder, Willow pulled out the same dagger as before, and struck their hands. As their blood mixed, and ran down the danger onto the floor, the portal closed; the demon was dormant, permanately.
Buffy pulled from Angel in tears. In the back of her mind, she had wished that she and Angel could go back to their little world, where nothing existed but them, where nothing stood between them, and their love was free. She wobbled slightly, but Giles held her up. "You alright? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just tired..." She said, avoiding his eyes, she looked to Angel and he avoided her gaze, a look of pain crossed his features. Willow noticed this as well.
Giles nodded. "That's understandable.....let's get you home; so you can rest."
Buffy nodded,and Giles and Willow helped her to the door, she was a bit
wobbly. Buffy looked backed in search for Angel, but he had disappeared,
without a word, and dread once again clutched Buffy's heart.
