Round the Loop
Disclaimer- All the characters in the following fanfic belong to Joss Whedon, except from Zauberer who is my own.
Buffy Summers and her friends stared silently at the old factory.
“Home sweet home.” Breathed Spike, “I remember the good old times me and Dru had here.”
“Everyone be quiet,” whispered Buffy, “we want to surprise Zauberer.”
She led them to the entrance, “On the count of three, one…two…”
Suddenly Spike kicked open the front door and ran inside. “Three.” He said.
Buffy sighed, and walked in, closely followed by Willow, Xander and Anya.
The place was deserted.
“Looks like no ones home.” Said Xander.
They all jumped when suddenly the door slammed shut behind them. They turned round, but no one was there.
“The wind?” Hoped Anya.
“There isn’t any tonight.” Whispered Willow.A deep throaty laughter filled the factory. The gang stood still.
“You made a mistake coming here, now you will all pay!”
Out from the shadows appeared, Zauberer. He had on a long dark cloak, which made him hard to see, but no one could miss his teeth they glowed an eerie yellow as he smiled at them.
Without hesitation, Buffy charged towards him, axe in hand. She aimed a blow at his head, but wasn’t quick enough. He easily dodged it, then backhanded her, sending her flying unconscious into some crates.
Next came Spike, he didn’t have a weapon. He got a few punches in, but they didn’t harm Zauberer. Soon enough Spike was sent flying unconscious, landing beside Buffy. Zauberer turned to face Xander; he pulled down the hood of his cloak. Xander stood frozen to the spot, hypnotized by it’s bright green eyes. Suddenly a lightning bolt shot out Zauberer’s hand, threatening to hit Xander.
Both Willow and Anya screamed. Anya thought quick and pushed him out the way, taking the bolt for her beloved. She dropped to the ground… dead.
“Oh my god!” Breathed Willow. She stood frozen on the spot staring at Anya’s limp form.
Xander suddenly woke from his trance. “What happened?” He asked. Then he noticed Anya.
“Anya!” Cried Xander. With tears streaming down his cheeks, he knelt down beside his dead girlfriend, and held her close to him. “Anya, no… you can’t leave me… I love you!”
Willow felt tears come to her eyes.
