AN/Warnings: This chapter deals primarily with Buffy and has
depictions of extreme torture. This is
the beginning of the salvation of Buffy.
This chapter was very hard for me to write and it also reflects one of
the seer abilities that I have hinted that Xander has. Remember this has severe torture and is very
dark.

// represent vision

Buffy
stood on the beach staring at the place that house her Xander. She could see
vampires and humans as they walked from building to building each of them seeming
at ease with one another. Buffy�s long
hair blew around her as the wind raised it and the sand beneath her bare
feet. She wore a pink dress, with small
spaghetti straps and a flowing skirt.
Around her neck hung a cross that had been given to her when she was a
small girl, it was one of the few things from her old life that she never gave
up. On her wrist was a delicate silver
bracelet, a bracelet that hid technology that aided her in escaping the
vampires on more than one occasion.
Buffy never took either off.

The
people on the beach saw only a small, delicate woman with colorfully streaked
hair and scars that covered the exposed skin on her body. Most looked away from the scars, shocked by
how harsh they were, some stared wondering at what had caused those scars. None of them saw the flickering madness in
her eyes. Buffy had long since learned
to hide her madness.

She
had broken up with the man she had been dating, no longer able to handle his
cloying habits and his simple mind. He bored
her, just as all of her so called lovers bored her. Buffy was a restless soul, not just because
of her insanity, but also because she had become used to dealing with smart,
and more of then than not, dangerous people.
She loved hunting some of the vampires, the ones she knew there was a
chance would kill her, but that she would likely never be able to kill. Hunters like Spike, Blade, and Riddick. When Buffy was bored she would try to find
out where they were and play cat and mouse with them. If she wounded them, or just annoyed them,
Buffy felt vindicated and her boredom eased.
If they hurt her, or one day killed her, then Buffy would be free of not
only her boredom, but of the life she often hated.

When
she was thinking clearly, she missed calling up her godfather and listening to
him tell her wild tells or listening to his mate Jack brag of his
adventures. She missed the warmth of
Sanctuary and the people that she knew.
She missed knowing that there was a safe place waiting for her.

When
she was thinking clearly, Buffy also missed Xander and Willow. This was one of those moments. After the first wave of practical jokes Buffy
stopped being angry and started being amused.
Especially, when the young gigolo showed up at her door having been
hired as a joke, he had been hired by Tony.
Buffy kept that gift and enjoyed him for several days before she sent
him on his way. A part of her wondered
how Tony had taken that bit of news.

After
Cerial had left Buffy ordered a bouquet of flowers for Tony, and with a wicked
giggle included a thank you card for the wonderful companion. She just wished she could be there to see
Tony�s face when he read the card. After
she had done that, she got a hold of the vampire aware PI that worked for her
and found out what he knew about where Xander and Willow was. When she learned that Xander was in Miami she
and Yvette had packed up, rented a house, and headed for the beach. While she had been moving on she had heard
about what had happened to Xander and about the woman that was hunting
him. Buffy was going to kill her. No one would ever harm Xander. She would make sure of it, even if she had to
die to do it. Yvette, having heard this
sighed quietly and hoped that this side of Buffy remained in control a little
longer this time.

As
Buffy watched the complex she was also watched, the man eyeing her smiled
coldly and pulled out his cell phone. As
the phone dialed he watched three vampires approach the blond woman. When the phone was answered he spoke, �Buffy
Summers is in Miami. Do you want her
taken?� Once he received a affirmative reply, the man
hung up the phone and sat back to wait for a chance to grab the vampire
hunter.

Meanwhile�

Buffy
didn�t move as the four men came up to her, she knew they could do nothing to
her in the full view of the beach goers, and she had no intention of hurting
them, at the moment. A smirk crossed her
face and a wicked glint of humor lit her eyes as she looked on Seth Gecko, her
godfather, his mate, and a man that haunted her dreams. A man she refused to believe was there. For a slight second she feared for her
sanity, and then Seth spoke, �If it isn�t the great hunter. Out to slay a bottle of hair dye?�

Buffy
merely rolled her eyes, �Didn�t anyone tell you that your tattoos are a fashion
faux paux? Really they are just so tacky.� Buffy snarked back sweetly.

Seth
narrowed his eyes. No one made fun of
his tats. �Buffy, what kind of name is
that? I keep looking around for a cat or maybe a dog.� Seth said with a smirk
of his own.

�Like
your name is any better? Seth Gecko? What kind of name is that?�

�He�ll
save you a ton on car insurance,� Jack Sparrow said causing them to all turn
and look at him in disbelief. Buffy
though shocked them by laughing in genuine amusement.

�I
thought I was supposed to be the insane one here?� she asked before she could
stop herself.

Will
stepped forward and Buffy�s smile faded.
He looked at her necklace and smiled sadly. �You still have it,� he said gently.

Buffy
reached up and clasped a hand around her cross.
�What do you want?� she asked quietly.

�We
want to help you,� Basher said speaking for the first time.

Buffy
stepped back, her eyes blazing with pain, �Stay away from me I will kill you.�
She warned.

�No
you won�t, please Buffy come home. We
miss you, we want to help you.� Will said softly,
sadly.

�Thanks,
I�ve had all the help I need from vampires.�
Buffy counter angrily.

�So
what you come here to kill Xander?� Seth asked irritated. He just wanted to grab her and take her to
Alex, but he knew it wouldn�t be a good idea to do.

Buffy
shocked them all by snarling and nearly lunging at him. �If you or anyone else hurts my Xander I will kill you slowly!� Buffy spat out furiously, her eyes deepening
in rage. Seth and the others looked at
one another in shock.

�You
hurt him,� Basher reminded her softly.

His
words brought tears to her eyes and she shuddered in memory of what she had
done to Xander. �I�m sorry,� she
whispered brokenly, before spinning away from them and running away. Basher started after her, but was held back
by Seth.

�Not
here,� Seth reminded him. Basher looked
at him in anguish, but nodded. They
would all later regret that he hadn�t gone against Seth�s warning.

~~~~~~

Buffy
ran down the beach and towards the house she had rented. She was upset by the fact that she had taken
the time to speak to them, she should have just walked away from them. She was still ashamed of the fact that she
had beaten Xander, but she had been shocked and shattered by the fact that she
had failed to protect Willow from the vampires.
That the gentle girl had been turned against her will, she was going to
kill Willow so that she would not have to suffer what Buffy had after she was
attacked. It wasn�t until later, after
she had found out that Willow was safe at Sylum and that her informant had seen
the other girl playing in New Orleans with Giles that she realized that Willow
wasn�t suffering the way that she had. Buffy
had been relieved by that, but also stricken by the fact that she had driven
away her only friends. The fact that
these thoughts and feelings had only come from her returning to a small
semblance of sanity was something that Buffy did not realize or
acknowledge.

The
vampire that had been watching Buffy followed her through the streets as she
headed home. Once she had turned down a
side street he attacked, Buffy spun trying to escape from her attacker. She had managed to slip from his grasp and run
a few feet, but was hit by a car. The
man that climbed out of the car smirked at his brother/mate and the pair picked
the injured girl up.

~~~~~~

Undisclosed
Warehouse/Rogue Army headquarters

Commodus
and Kai climbed out of the car and walked around to the trunk, Kai reached in
and pulled Buffy out. He threw her over
his shoulder and turned away, heading towards the main living quarters where
their Sire, family, his pet, and their child slaves all resided.

When
they walked in he looked to his left and smirked at the sight of his pet
chained, gagged and hanging upside down.
Knives and other implements of pain pierced the man�s skin. Hagen was a pleasure to break. Once Buffy was dealt with Kai was going to
take his Pet off of the wall and play with him some more. Kidnapping�s always made him horny.

Livia
looked up at the sight of her children and the smell of the blood from Darla�s
last broken plaything. She would have to
call her young friend and let her know what she was going to do with Buffy, but
first she needed to sire a new child slave.

~~~~~~

Another
warehouse same day

Micah
was leading Horatio, Riddick, Speed, the Twins, and a large group of hunters to
another warehouse known to be owned by the Rogue Army. Micah and Selene had learned that this one
housed Rogue vampires and chosen. They
sold snuff films and child pornography. The Twins, Riddick, Elliot, Bosco, and
Adela were acting as the official representatives of the Miami police
department with Speed and Eric there to back them up case wise. They would help cover any forensic evidence
of vampires and make sure anything that did not show vampire involvement was
handed over to the police so that the humans could be arrested and made to pay
for their crimes.

The
warehouse was a small one, and the vampires could all detect human and vampires
inside. Each of the members of the squad
going in activated the dampeners that Will and Xander had made for them the
night before. They were going in quietly
in the hopes that they could protect any prisoners inside from the people
holding them.

It
took an hour for everyone to get into position and take out the vampires within
the building and to subdue the humans as well.
When they went into the office they found a man that was familiar to
several of the vampires, the Twins, Elliot, and Riddick especially. Jack and Kyra growled while Elliot slowly
began to stalk towards the man, the man who had made his mate uncomfortable and
had ogled the children of the clan when they went to pick out play ground and
gymnasium equipment.

�Elliot,
you can�t kill him.� Horatio reminded him regretfully. Elliot growled again but stopped stalking
him.

�I
don�t know H, I think once you see what this sick bastard was watching you�ll
agree he should die,� Eric said in a harsh voice. They all turned to look at Eric and could see
the disgusted, pained look on the younger vampires face. Riddick went to his mate sensing his anguish
through their bond.

What
he saw made him sick and it made him very angry. When the face of the young victim turned
towards him he roared. When he spun to
face the human his silver eyes glinted with rage and Cal saw his death in those
eyes. �Angel, come here.� Riddick ordered softly. The older vampire made his way over to where
Riddick was standing and looked down at the screen, his face turned pale and a
cry of pain tore from him.

The
office door burst open as Vachon ran into the room, having felt his mate�s
pain. Angel turned to the human and
lashed out, lifting him off of his feet by his throat. �You are dead. You have a choice you can die slowly or I can
snap your neck. Keep that in mind and
answer me truthfully. Where did you get
this tape?� Angel�s voice was icy and precise.
No one doubted he was going to kill the human.

�My
love he can not answer you, you must put him on his feet first,� Vachon
reminded his lover gently. He had yet to
see the tape.

Angel
placed the man on his feet and loosened his grip. Cal gasped for air, but answered
truthfully. �My lady Livia gave it to me
as a gift.� Cal answered through sobbing breaths.

�You
know her though?� Angel asked again.

�Yes,
Lady Livia�s companion Darla broke the girl in several years ago; lord Kai gave
me the video as a mark of my position in the clan.� Cal answered
truthfully. He knew better than to
believe he would be shown mercy by this particular vampire. He knew the girls connection to the
vampire.

Angel
snarled again, but asked no more questions, instead he snapped the man�s neck
and looked back down at the monitor, this time tears fell down his cheeks and
he mournfully whispered one word, �Buffy.�
Those who had not seen the monitor gasped in horrified silence.

~~~~~~

Two days
later�

New Orleans

Willow
laughed breathlessly as she lowered the sword and grinned impishly at John who
smirked in response. Willow was an
excellent student and he enjoyed sparing with her during her training sessions
with Gabriel and Giles. The young girl
was not only brilliant and funny, but she was not put off by his caustic style
and they sometimes got into wonderful snarking sessions.

Gabriel
and Rupert were sitting nearby grinning over the antics of their mates. The two enjoyed teasing one another and it
was fun listening to their verbal duels.
It had been a fun and relaxing day so far with no crisis ruining the
easy atmosphere, so when Willow suddenly dropped her sword and grabbed her head
screaming in terrified agony it scared all of them and sent those in the manor
running to the training room.

Miami

Since
the news of the video of Buffy�s breaking at Darla and Livia�s hands had
surfaced everyone had been looking for the young vampire hunter. They now wanted to help her more than
ever. Alex Cross had had to study the
tape and others that he had found. On
two of the tapes they found images of the torture that Nikko and Tru had
suffered. It only cemented the elder
vampires desire to kill the Rogue leaders.
Especially Bateman now that he knew that Selene, the young vampire that
he had just found, his mate had been turned and forced to live in the vampires
control for a year.

They
were all relieved that Spike had dusted Mr. Smith and saved Willow the trauma
of being one of his children. Xander had
been very quiet, somehow he knew what it was that they had found on the tape
and he had retreated once again into the normalcy of his work.

Eric
and the others were growing increasingly worried about the younger
vampire. He had stopped talking again
and they would sometimes find him staring off into space. Merlin, who had seen seers and their gifts
had worried that the boy was seeing something he would not or could not share
with them.

Alexx
and Elliot had finally managed to get Xander to leave the lab, but Xander was
skittish and refused to go outside for very long. They had only managed to get him across the
courtyard and into the main meeting hall.

Vachon,
Angel, Will, and Basher were discussing Buffy and trying to think of a way to
find her. In fact most of the people in
the main hall were thinking of her. It
was perhaps that reason and Xander�s own tie to both Buffy and the woman who
had turned her that made what happened next occur no one would really know. What they did know was that the block that
Xander had put up to keep his mind separate from Willow fell, making it that
she saw what he saw.

From
that moment on any lingering anger that Willow and Xander could have harbored
for Buffy died a shocking and cold death.
In its place was a need to find and protect their friend and in Willow
there was a thirst for revenge and the need to destroy Livia and everyone she
saw.

Xander
was unsettled and jumpy, the emotions from the people around him were wearing
on him and he had not been sleeping or feeding again, his mind to shattered by what he knew had happened to Buffy, and what
was bleeding in from his own nightmarish childhood. It was then that it happened. Xander froze in the middle of the room, Elliot
and Alexx turned to face him, wondering if they were going to have to coax him
into staying. However, the look on his
face froze them. Xander�s green eyes
bled away, leaving no color only black from his pupils. He began to pant and his face turned
ashen. He opened his mouth and a wail of
torment ripped from inside of him.
Xander fell to his knees and shrieked one unending cry of torment; he
was gripping his head as image after image assailed him.

Unable
to contain the mental block between himself and Willow she fell to the visions
and the pain they left. Her screams
joined his and left those watching confused and afraid.

Elliot
crouched next to Xander trying to get his attention, but Xander was lost to him
and to reality. In New Orleans Giles was
in a similar position, terrified by what he was feeling and the fact that he
could not reach his beloved. Gabriel was
roaring for a phone, thinking to see if something had happened to Xander. While in Miami Eric was doing the same.

Elliot
gripped Xander around the waste as the young man�s back arched and a new scream
was torn from him, Willow seized under the assault of the visions and two
voices spoke as one, both screaming the same name, both screaming for her pain
and her violation. �Buffy!�

Vision

//Tears fell from hazel eyes
and the madness that was once well hidden came to the forefront. She was being punished for attacking and
nearly beheading her *brothers* mate.
She had managed to get a sword and had attacked Jessica hoping to fight
her way past the ones who imprisoned her and turned her into a vampire.

Unfortunately she had been
captured before she could completely dust the bitch who
had nearly destroyed Xander. Now Bateman
got to chose her punishment and Jessica gave her
input. Together they had decided to use
a punishment that Jessica had once used on Xander. Hearing what they said and knowing that
Xander had lived through this as a human child had shattered Buffy�s already
broken heart and it made her wish that she could see him one more time so that
she could tell him how sorry she was.

She never knew that as he
was thinking of her, she was thinking of him and a connection was forged,
Xander gained Buffy�s memories, the sweet and happy, along with the painful and
devastating. He also lived what she was
suffering.

Buffy was gagged, a collar
adorned her neck, on the collar were two hooks with
rope leading from them. Her hands were
cuffed behind her back. Her eyes were
open, but sightless. Bateman and
Commodus stepped forward, both of them carrying two
poles with blades on the end. The two
evil men smirked at one another and drove the spikes through the fleshy part of
Buffy�s thighs causing her, and by connection Willow and Xander, to scream in
agony. Kai and Jessica stepped up behind
her and quickly screwed the connecting poles into place before Buffy could
fall. When they were through they forced
Buffy to her knees and tied her ankles to the poles, before connecting the
ropes from her collar onto both poles.

Once this was done the
four flipped Buffy over and raised her onto their shoulders through use of the
poles, Buffy screamed again in pain as the weight of her own body came to bear
on her wounds. The four carried the
broken girl into another room and suspended her from two bars. The four proceeded to take turns raping and
beating Buffy until she lost consciousness.

As
she faded into darkness Willow and Xander were released from the vision, but
through Jessica and Livia�s minds they saw where Buffy was being held. Unfortunately for Buffy and for them they to
lost consciousness and would not wake until late into the next day.

Elliot
looked down at Xander and held him as he screamed he was nearly overwhelmed
with terror himself and the group was unsure what to do. When Xander screamed Buffy�s name Elliot
moaned and feared what had happened.
Eric was on the phone with Gabriel his own fear rising as he heard
Willow scream Buffy�s name in the back ground.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden quiet and they surged forward as one,
both in Miami and in New Orleans. Willow
and Xander were unconscious.

�What
the hell just happened?� Elliot demanded, he was heaving in unneeded breaths
and was shaking uncontrollably.

�I
don�t know, but it affected Willow too.� Eric said shakily, �She is, was doing
the same thing.� Alexx had been crying
and they all wondered what had happened.
