The sewers.

Willow paces impatiently, "I'm bored." She complains to Xander. "When is the stupid sun going to set." She pouts.

"Now now Willow baby, don't get so frustrated. It's still early too early to leave."

Willow turns to him and wraps her arms around his waist. "I'm sorry, to be so complainy, you know I get bored easily." She looks up at him innocently.

"Don't worry, as soon as the sun sets, you and me are going to have some fun." He grins.

Buffy's house

Buffy looks at herself in the mirror as she tilts her head, looking at the bite marks left behind by Luke. She opens up her dresser drawer and pulls out some bandaging tape as she covers the wound. She then changes into some jeans and a button up dark red shirt. And then puts her shoulder length brown hair in a ponytail. She then makes her way down the stairs and to the kitchen.

"Morning Buffy." Joyce smiles at her. The smile turns to concern when she sees the bandage on her neck. "What happened to your neck?"

Buffy, stunned by the question, "Uh, its nothing." She quickly replied. "Just a scratch." Buffy grabs a bagel and leaves for school before her mom can ask anymore questions.

Angel's place

Angel lays asleep on his bed when he suddenly hears a knock at the door. Still rubbing his eyes he opens the door. "Buffy, what brings you here?" has asks, a bit surprised to see her.

"I just wanted to stop by and say hi before I headed to school." she smiles.

Angel looks down at the bag she is carrying.

"Oh, this is for you." Buffy hands him the bag. "Fresh from the market."

Angel opens the bag and gives it a quick glance at the container of blood and sets it in the fridge. "thanks." He says softly. "How's your neck feeling?'

Buffy rubs at her bandage, "It's fine." She says, forcing a smile. "Well, I guess I better get going. Buffy turns around to leave.

"Wait. Um, thanks for stopping by." He finally manages to say.

"No prob." Buffy says with a smile as she leaves.

Later, after school has ended and the sun finally sets, Giles straightens up his place as well as he could. He had to make sure that everything was just perfect.

Outside, Jenny straightens out her skirt as she walks closer to the door. Unaware she was being watched. Luke eyes her with great curiosity, he has been watching Buffy and her friends. He has seen this one hanging around the librarian before. He quickly makes his move before Jenny could knock on the door, grabbing her from behind, muffling her screams with his hand. Jenny kicks wildly as she tries to escape, but he is too strong. Luke smiles as the teachers' fear grows. Luke then drags her to the sewers. Where she then has her wrists tied down to the armrest, and her ankles bound tightly to the legs of the chair.

"What do you want with me?!" Jenny yells out.

Luke laughs under his breath. He then walks up to Jenny and squats down in front of her. "You're the bate."

* * *

Giles looks at his watch. Jenny is an hour late. Giles picks up the phone and calls her house, but only gets her answering machine. He hangs up. Figuring she just forgot or just decided not to come.

* * *

Willow and Xander walk side by side as they enter the bronze. Willow smiles as she hears the music playing. And leads Xander with her hand as she walks to the dance floor and begins dancing seductively. Xander smiles as he watches her dance and then joins in. She then drapes her arms across his shoulders and kisses him deeply and whispers in his ear, "I'm hungry."

Xander eyes the room, looking for the perfect meal. He finally spots Harmony. He smiles as he points her to Willow. She nods with approval. Willow watches as Xander approaches her. "Harmony," Xander calls out to her.

Harmony turns around to see Xander standing there, "Yeah? What do you want!" she snaps at him.

"I just wanted to let you know that Cordelia is looking for you," he says, glaring at her.

"She is? Where is she?" Harmony asks, looking around the room.

"I'll take you to her." Xander takes her hand and leads here out of the bronze, clear from anyone's view.

"Well, where is she?" Harmony asks impatiently.

Xander then shows his vampire face to her, "How should I know where that Bi*** is."

Harmony gasps with shock, before she can even scream Xander quickly bites down on her neck. Willow walks from out of the shadows watching, "hey, your supposed to share" Willow pouts.

Xander pushes Harm to her, Willow catches her and begins to feed off of her. She then drops her lifeless body to the floor. "My tummys all full and happy now." She smiles at Xander.

The two return to the sewers, surprised to see their former teacher tied up.

"What's this hag doing here!" Xander yells out to Luke.

"She's are key to the slayer, so that means she must remain alive!" Luke says with a growl.

* * *

Giles enters the library, hoping to find Jenny, but only sees Buffy. "Oh, hello Buffy."

"Hi Giles, just stocking up on my stake supply. What brings you here?"

"I was looking for Jenny, she was supposed to meet up with me." He says, fixing his glasses.

"I'll let you know if I see her," Buffy slides the stake in her pocket as she leaves the library. She doesn't get to far from the school when she hears a rustling sound behind her. "Whose there!" she calls out. Buffy turns back around and is startled by a figure standing in front of her. Buffy quickly pulls out a stake from her jacket pocket. "Come out of the shadows so I can see you!" she demands.

When the shadowy figure steps out of the shadows and into a lit area Buffy lets out a sigh of relief. "Must you always test my reflexes!" Buffy complains

"Sorry, could not help me self." Kendra replies with her strong accent.

"Why are you here?" Did your watcher send you?

"Actually twas your watcher, said you were in a bit of a crisis." Kendra replied.

Buffy looks a little surprise. "Well, I guess I could use all the help I can get."

"So this Luke, tis he really as bad as he says?"

"Worse" I'm sure Giles sugar coated the actual problem we have here.

Kendra looks up at Buffy with a bit of sympathy, "Sorry bout your friends Xanda and Willow."

"Me too. Just do me a favor and stay out of my way!" Buffy gripes as she storms off.

Kendra watches her as she walks off. "It's not me fault I was sent here!" she yells out to her.

Down in the sewers

Willow walks into the room where Jenny is kept tied up. Jenny eyes her carefully as Willow circles her. "Lukey says I can't kill you," Willow pouts. "But that doesn't mean I still can't torture you." She smiles. "Willow squats next to her chair and looks at her hands. "Such pretty hands, I wonder what they will look like with the fingers bending the other direction." She smiles as she lifts up one of her fingers on her right hand and yanks it backwards with a quick pull as the bones crunch. Jenny lets out a loud scream as she can feel the pain throb throughout her whole hand.

Willow smiles with satisfaction. "Did I hurt you?" Willow moves to the next finger as she gently picks it up, and then quickly yanks it back.

"PLEASE STOP!" Jenny pleads.

"Oh, I've just begun to start." Willow pulls out a knife from her boot. "Now, lets see how many cuts we can make before you pass out." An evil grin spreads across her face as she takes the knife and makes a quick slash at her arm. Screams continue to fill the room.

* * *

Outside Cordelia's house, Xander lurks in the shadows, watching her from her window. Even dead, she is his obsession. He has strong feelings for Willow, but something about Cordelia always made him want her. He watches her as she walks throughout the house.

Inside…

Cordelia picks up a cup of coffee from the kitchen counter. She then walks into the living room and spots a picture frame holding a picture with her and Xander. A tear runs down as she looks at it. She lightly sets it back down as she quickly wipes away her tear and takes another sip of her coffee.

Xander walks around the house as he eyes Cordelia from outside. Not being able to take his eyes off her. "Miss Cordelia Chase, even in death your all I can think about." He smirks letting out a sigh, glaring at her. Just wishing she would step outside for just a minute. One minute is all he needed. One moment of carelessness on her part for him to make his move.

Xander eventually stays there all night, unaware of the hours that have passed; he can sense that the sun will be rising soon. Taking one last look at her he leaves and makes his way to the sewers.

* * *

The next day, Buffy storms into the library. "Why did you ask her to come down here?! Did you not think I can handle Luke on my own?" she says, furious.

"Obviously not" Giles says looking at the bandage on her neck.

Buffy quickly covers the bandage with her hand. "That's not the point." She pouts, realizing she could use the extra help. She then removes the bandage, throwing it in the paper basket. "It's healing see!" she says with a bit of an attitude.

Kendra steps out from Giles office, carrying her latest toy, a crossbow. "You mind if I borrow dis?" she asks Giles.

Giles turns around to see what she is talking about, "No, course not. Go on ahead."

Buffy rolls her eyes at what she considers sucking up. "I have to go to class." She says with a sigh.

"Awe yes, I forgot you have other tings besides your slaying duties. No wonda you're so distracted." She says while holding the crossbow.

Buffy just ignores Kendra's statement as she leaves the library.

After Buffy finishes class, she sees Cordelia in the hallway. She notices the dark circles under her eyes. It looks as if she hadn't slept for days. Buffy approaches her, "Hi Cordelia".

Cordy turns to see who is calling her name, "Oh, hi Buffy" She says with a bit of an attitude.

"Are you okay?" Buffy asks with concern.

"No, I'm just find and dandy." Cordy says sarcastically. As she walks away from her.

* * *

Later at home, Buffy pulls out her Jacket that Angel gave her from the closet and slides it on. Stuffing a stake in the pocket. She then stuffs some pillows in under her bed covers and turns out the light, just in case her mom walks in. She then carefully crawls out her window and drops to the ground with ease. Buffy then walks the streets of Sunnydale, on patrol. That's when she sees one of Luke's men feeding off of a girl. She quickly pulls the vampire off the girl. "Run!" She yells to the girl.

The terrified girl quickly struggles to her feet, and runs away, not looking back.

Buffy faces her attention towards the vampire. "I'm going to give you one chance to answer correctly, where's Luke!

The vampire replies, "You don't scare me." The vampire smirks.

Buffy grabs him by the shirt and pushes him into the side of the building, holding up her stake in her right hand. "Wrong answer." She smiles as she stabs the stake into the vampire's chest and watches him burst into dust.

"Looking for me?" a deep voice says from behind her.

Buffy quickly turns around and comes face to face with Luke. "Yeah, I was." She then grunts as she jumps and kicks him in the stomach with all her strength.

Luke stumbles back, and laughs at her. "Is that all you got?"

She then swings her fist at him. Luke blocks the punch with ease. And punches her in the face with his other hand. "I wouldn't try that again if I were you school girl." Luke laughs. "I have a friend of yours. And if you wish to ever see her alive I suggest you follow me. Alone."

Buffy is shocked by Luke's statement. "Miss Calendar?" Buffy looks down at the ground and hesitates at first, but relentlessly agrees to it, not wanting to see someone else end up dead.

Buffy follows close behind as Luke leads her to the sewer. Through the maze of tunnels, Buffy is eventually led to a small area where Jenny sits there tied up, scared out of her wits. "Oh god." Buffy quickly kneels down next to her and tries to untie the ropes.

"Buffy get out of here! It's a trap!" Jenny yells out. Buffy looks up to see Luke come closer and closer to her.

Luke laughs, "Stupid girl, did you actually think I would lead you to your friend and let you leave, alive?"

Buffy's eyes fill with horror, she quickly readies herself for a fight. Luke backhands her, making her fly into the wall. Buffy quickly jumps back to her feet and throws a punch at him, hitting him across the face. Barely fazing him.

"Give up, you're no match for me!" he growls

"I'm not giving up without a fight!" she says doing a jump kick into Luke's stomach, causing him to fall to the ground. She quickly reaches for a stake from her jacket pocket.

Just as she is about to jab it into his chest Luke grabs her arm. "You didn't think you would win that easily did you?" He then begins twisting her arm till it snaps.

AWW! Buffy yells out in pain as she cradles her broken arm.

Luke smiles as he grabs her by her broken arm and shoves her into the wall. Buffy whimpers in pain as Jenny watched helplessly, still tied to the chair. Luke leaned in close to her as he held her against the wall. "You might want to close your eyes, this will only take a second." An evil grin spreads across her face as he once again bites down on her neck. Buffy squeezes her eyes shut as she lets open her mouth trying to scream from the pain. She squirms and twists and struggles to try to escape his grip, ignoring the pain from her broken arm. When suddenly the pain in her neck stops. When she opens her eyes, all she can see is a cloud of dust. When the dust finally settles, she sees Kendra, standing there holding her crossbow up. For once, she was actually happy to see her.

Breathes heavily, cradiling her broken arm, "How did you know where to find me?"

"I had followed you, I knew you would need my help." She says with a smile, almost in bragging mode.

Jenny then says, "Not to interrupt or anything, but do you mind untying me?"
