Buffy gave Willow a look of sympathy, she knew what it was like to wish things that happened here could be normal. But unfortunately, that was really rare. She placed a hand on Willow's shoulder. "How much I wish this were normal, Will. It would be easier... but I don't think it is." She offered a smile to try to comfort her friend.
At Faith's question towards her, she nodded. "Wouldn't hurt to have a look. Maybe we could all investigate. If it's the work of demons, there would be more." She looked to Angel, wondering what he thought about that idea.
Buffy looked up at Giles after he stopped Xander looking through a book. She raised her eyebrows and laughed. "Okay, dare I ask?" Before Giles had a chance to answer, Angel finally spoke up, saying something about police reports.
"Good idea... Willow, can you find them using the computer?" She looked to Willow, glad to give her something to do.

Willow ripped her eyes away from the article, "Yeah. Sure." She said, her voice a little faint, she got up and went over to the computer in the shop and started typing. Her fingers moved quickly over the keys, a new determination had set in now that she had something to do, especially since it was something she could do and wasn't likely to get anyone killed.

Faith stood up. “Ok Im all for recon” Faith said stretching. “Who's with me?” Faith asked. She stood a better chance on finding info on the streets than in books.
Faith grabbed her trusty knife and leather jacket. She knew a couple of good joints she could get info from. If this was demon activity that was spreading, she was sure to find something.
“Call me on my cell if you guys find anything” Faith put her cell in her pocket. “Ill check out the usual haunts.” Faith was slightly excited, she was starting to get slightly bored from the slow rate of vamp activity. She didn't know if that was a good thing or bad thing.

Ususally Xander was the first one to agree to recon, but tonight he didn't feel up to it. "Looks like your on your Faith" Xander said when no one volunteered. "Besides we all have something do, me with the books and Willow with the computer. But have fun!" He smiled.
The bell above the door chimed, signalling that someone walked in. "Sorry but we're closed" Giles walked up to the man to usher him. "This way" Giles pointed to the exit.
The man didn't respond, he came further into the shop so the light was now on his face. He is the demon, although no one knows that. "I don't wish to leave" he said turning to Giles.
He turned his attention to Buffy and Faith, "you two are the chosen ones, are you not? The slayers?" Before either one of them could question or fight, he waved his hands and they both flew into the wall and pinned against it.
Xander pounced out of his chair and charged at the demon, he waved his hand again and Xander was still, in a trance and so was everyone else.
The demon began chanting. He held his hands out to his side, to stengthen the spell. His body began to glow blue in colour. It rose out of his body and and into everyone's body. It was doubt.
He grinned at his work, and exited the shop. Once the door was closed, Buffy and Faith fell to the ground, and everyone was out of their trance.
"What just happened?" Xander asked.

Angel start walking for towards the door without saying a word, silently agreeing with Faith to check whats going on outside and stopped to wait for her. Xander chimed in that no one was going to go with her and Angel said, "I'll go. I could probably probe some people. See what the word is out there about these killings."
Before he could say anything else, a man came inside, and Angel instantly knew it was a demon of some sort. And it seemed like he wasn't going to be cooperative. When he pinned Faith and Buffy to the wall he immediately charged for him, like Xander, but didnt get far. He was immediately stopped in his tracks, overpowered by some demonic spell.
....
Then Angel heard the door close. He blinked a few times and shook his head. Turning around he looked at everyone, scratching the back of his head, a bit disoriented. "You guys alright?"

Buffy looked up when Faith announced she was going out to investigate. "I think I'll stay... good luck though." She smiled, then looked down again at the paper Willow had abandoned, hoping to find some clue. She looked up once more with more curiousity as Giles began to speak to someone who just entered the shop. She took a step forward and folded her arms across her chest. "He asked you to leave.." She raised an eyebrow and kept her voice light, not wanting trouble.
However, both eyebrows shot up after the man asked about her and Faith. Buffy opened her mouth to retort when suddenly she found herself and Faith pinned against the wall. "Xander, no!" She yelled, noticing he was about to charge at whatever it was. But everything then went blank and the next moment, she was on the ground.
Buffy raised her head and looked around, confusion etched on her face. "I... I don't know." Was her reply to both Xander and Angel.

(I guess I'll keep this moving ) Angel rubbed his forehead trying to get the fuzziness out. Something strange was going on. Really strange. "We should...we should try to find what's going on with these murders..." He struggled to say that sentence. He looked at Buffy for a long moment, mouth a jar, not being able to say anything for a moment. Not when thinking about exactly what he was doing here. He'd came to Sunnydale because he was afraid of what he might do in L.A. When he kept seeing Darla everywhere, what was he afraid of exactly? Right. So what makes him think he should be anywhere near Buffy? His expression turned into one of uneasiness and he then shook his head. "I shouldn't even be here, I..." he paused. "I can't help you guys." How could he help them, when he couldn't even help himself? Or his friends back in L.A.?

(OOC- Good on ya Angel, keeping this thread moving Xander began to feel dizzy, he stumbled backwards and fell into a chair behind him. "What w-w-was that thing?" He asked stuttering. "We got to find that thing and stop it!" Xander reached for a book, flipped it open but closed it immediately. "But how are we going to stop it? It's so strong and powerful, it would surely kill us." He started picking at his cuticles nervously, obviously suffering from the effects of the doubt demon's power. "It will kill us, it will kill us" he kept repeating.

He looked at all of them at a lost of what to do. He felt bewildered and exposed. He couldn't let that thing hurt Buffy or any of them. But he couldn't let himself hurt them either. What use was he in a situation like this? 200 years of living, so many years of so-called atonement...to come to this. To nothing. Really what did atonement matter? Could he really ever atone for all the pain and suffering he called. No. Not at all. Prophecies are faulty, translations are unreliable. He had no place here. Anywhere.
"Buffy..." He said, looking at her painfully. "I-I'm sorry...I don't want it to hurt you but...I'm of no use to you. Any of you..." He paused, another realization occurring in his mind. "I left you Buffy...I should have never come back here, it's too dangerous for me to be around you..."

Buffy only watched Xander and Angel for a while. What Xander was saying over and over again and cutting into her. Didn't he think she could handle it? What gave her the right to think she could handle it? She'd only probably fail, then that would make it angrier which would cause it to grow stronger... whatever it was.
"I... I can't face it. I won't be able to destroy it." She spoke out loud, running a hand through her hair. "You should run... not wait for it to come after you. Let it come for me... I could distract it long enough, at least."
Buffy now glanced at Angel, his words hurtful. "No, you had every right to leave, Angel. I don't deserve your help... you're too good for me." As she spoke, she looked back at Xander. "I don't deserve any of your help and it's been great while I've had you all by my side... but I can't keep putting you in danger... especially when I fail."

I hope it's ok if I join this.))
Blinking and coming out of the back room with some books, Dawn sighed as she listened to Buffy and Angel then looked down at the books. Biting her lip, she kept her opinions to herself as they blamed themselves for what was going on. Shaking her head, she looked at Faith as she said she was going to do some recon.
Smiling a little and looking back at her sister, she again bit her lip then started for the door, grabbing her coat from the hook next to it. "Recon? Sure...I'll join you..." Knowing that would get her sister to respond in the way she remembered, she looked back at Buffy waiting for her response before heading to the door after Faith.

(( Totally fine, Dawn )) Buffy swung to look at her little sister when she heard her voice. She hadn't remembered Dawn being in here and now she was ashamed that Dawn had overheard her words of weakness. She was supposed to be a role model for her sister... someone to look up to. What kind of example was she setting by giving up before she'd even started? A flash of panic went over Buffy after hearing Dawn volunteer to join Faith and she moved quickly to hold Dawn back. "No! I might be a sucky Slayer but there's no way I'm going to add bad sister to that as well. You're staying with us... at least I can keep an eye on you here."

Xander rolled his eyes, typical Angel he thought, saying that it was too dangerous for him to be around Buffy. Hello, Buffy was stronger! Well it's not like he was complaining.
Xander listened to what Buffy was saying to Angel, and the expression she wore. It sounded like, to him at least was that she was 'breaking up with them' in a way. He stood up, "Buffy what are you saying?" He said, voice quivering. "Sounds like to me that you don't want any of us here, you can't do that. You need us... I think."
He sat down, when Buffy turned to speak to her sister. "It's not like we can fight the thing anyway, it'll kill us before we could even try." Even with two slayers and a vampire[i/] he thought but wasn't game enough to say.

Blinking Dawn hid a grin glad to hear her sister saying something else besides negative things but frowned as Buffy held her back. Sighing, she shook her head then looked back at Faith "Come on Buffy...what can happen? I mean, Faith will be there...and if Angel stops moping, so will he."
Hearing Xander, she furrowed her eyebrows then sighed and shook her head "What is with all the moping people?" Sighing, she looked down and bit her lip "God, this is as bad as school, with most of my classmates saying they're worthless..." Closing her eyes, she turned away from Buffy and shook her head muttering "Makes me feel like I'm worthless...like my life doesn't amount to anything...I mean...what can I do? I'm just the Slayer's sister...nothing special..."
