Part 11
The first sound Angelus heard when he woke up was Buffy’s voice.
“Wow! This plane is so cool!! It’s got a big-screen TV and everything,” Buffy squealed, exploring the plane they would fly to Romania on. He groaned and tried to move, then realized he was bound in place. He glanced around the spacious plane, taking note of everything. Buffy looked up and saw he was awake. She smiled and walked over to him.
“Well, look who’s awake. Did you have a nice nap?”
“Untie me,” he demanded. Buffy just laughed.
“I don’t think so. We’re gonna take a little trip. To a place called Romania. Hey, don’t you have some friends there? I think they’re called the Kalderash people. Yeah, that’s it,” she said and he growled at her. Unfazed, she patted his head and drew a curtain around him.
She left him and went back to join the others. Giles was talking to the woman the Council had sent to help. Her name was Katrina, and she seemed pretty cool. Buffy could tell Giles had a thing for her already.
“Okay, peeps, let’s get this circus on the road,” Buffy said. She kissed her mother goodbye before climbing into her seat and buckling her seat belt. The others followed suit.
“Be careful, Buffy, and call me when you can,” Joyce said, her heart heavy.
“I will, Mom. I love you.”
“I love you too,” Joyce said and blew her daughter a kiss before walking out of the plane. She stood by the door to the airport and waved as Giles and Katrina got the plane moving. It picked up speed and rose smoothly into the air, beginning the journey that would carry its passengers halfway around the world. They had to try to get help from people who didn’t like them, restore Angelus’ soul, and stop a gypsy vampire from killing them all.
It was going to be fun.
