"Yes... I guess that's what friends do." Wesley smiled to himself. "I almost wish I had been there so I could at least have an idea of which demon it might be. Black squid like demon. Perhaps if I look up the symptoms after one is attacked I might find the right demon." Wesley flipped through a few more pages. "Fred you don't recall anything else special about it?"

"Black, rubbery, tentacles, round, grew in size when angry, black insides, didn't like fire or the ax, ate the clients toy poodle..." she ticked off while rocking back and forth underneath the table.
Samantha was still here... Wesley didn't believe her... she was on her own...

"Was it solid like a squid or was it more like a pudding?" Wesley looked at Fred. "Are you alright?" He watched her closely.

"It was... lines of black, squishy sounds like wet rubber, rubbing against itself... little protrusions that got very big... there were no teeth... no eyes... no... nothing... just a ball of black." Her eyes stung, how could she fight off magic in her state? She felt so very alone... She wrapped her arms around her stomach. Something was happening to her insides, it hurt so much, and Samantha was going to kill her. She started crying silently under the table. Hoping that she was as alone as she felt.

"Fred." Wesley crawled under the table and put his arms around her. "Its okay." He was quietly starting to panic. Perhaps it was already too late. Maybe it had been for hours and there was nothing he could do. He was going to loose her. 'No Wesley calm down. Freak out and you will loose her.' He thought to himself harshly, as he forced his mind to calm down. "Every things going to be okay. Remember what I promised? Nothing is going to happen to you. Because I am right here."

She wanted to believe him, and she felt a little of her rightful courage fill her when his arms where around her. She could still feel the panic clawing at her mind, telling her to run, telling her she wasn't safe, that she was in danger, that Samantha would hurt her and Wesley would abandon her. She knew as soon as Wesley let go of her, and left her alone in the increasing darkness that they would take over again.
"Wes," she whispered, "you have to let go of me now. You have research." she was terrified of what would happen when he let her go, but she could be brave. "You have to find out how to fix me." She tried to put on a smile, a show for him, even though she didn't know if he was even looking at her. She reached out slowly looking for his cheek, "I'll just go nuts under the table, nothin' new right?" She tried to joke.
'He can't save you,' her mind whispered, 'the girl will kill you and he won't raise a hand.'
Her stomach lurched as she tried to push the voice away.

It was hard for him to pull away but he did. It was like fighting an unseen monster. Fred was right. He was the only one that could help her right now. "Alright but I am right here." He slipped out from under the the table but didn't get off the floor. He didn't want her out of his sight. He pulled up the book once more and continued from where he left off. Why was it so hard for him to concentrate?

Fred hugged her knees to her chest, but hist in pain when her legs brushed against her stomach. She held herself tightly, trying to hold on to her courage. She closed her eyes to not think about how blind she was and tried to tune out the world.
Her mind was pushing for her to flee, she was in danger, she couldn't fight, she had to run, find somewhere to hide, some deeper darker cave where she would be safe. She dug her fingers into her legs. She couldn't run... she wouldn't. She had to stay, she had to face it. Another spasm of pain ripped through her stomach and she bit lip until it bleed to keep herself from screaming. She was better then this... but he didn't believe her and Samantha knew and was going to kill her...

"Wes I can't find anything." It was the first time she had actually called him that...Samantha was happy to have a friend like him yet determined to try and find the answer. Though at this point it seemed pretty hopeless.... She put another book in the finished pile going onto the next one. She'd keep reading until they found what was wrong.

"We can't give up hope. We need to find the answer. It has to be in one of these books somewhere." Wesley picked up another book and continued looking. "Or maybe I am looking at this all wrong. Maybe I need to get the answer from a source." Wesley got up off the floor.

"You mean like another Demon or vampire right?" Samantha was always left behind....but she might know someone who knew. Probably not since they were attacked in LA. But this wasn't a major city so they'd hear of it pretty fast if they did. Not that she would let Wesley see them. She didn't want him to see how nasty or cruel she could get with her humanity still.... She'd let him call the shots.

"I mean a demon. I feel bad for suggesting this. Me and him don't exactly have a good history. We never see eye to eye and he always gives me a string of sentences before he's willing to help me. And even then he's prone to mood swings." Wesley said calmly. "But I'm sure I can get him to help. Do you have any summoning spells on hand?"

"Depends on how hard he'd be to summon. I know some weak ones by heart, but the stronger ones I've got a book in here for." She stated and looked at him getting up herself. Samantha looked through the back walls shelf bulling out a black leather covered book. "Ah here we are, the Cromwell's summoning book. My mom gave it to my for my Eighth birthday." She looked at the book. "Can you do it? Or shall I?"

"Oh I am pretty sure I have to do it. I just wanted to know if you had the ingredients." Wesley stared at her as he grabbed the book slowly from her. "Can you set it up for me?"

At the word 'Summoning' Fred's eyes snap open. Summoning meant dimensional shifts, dimensional shifts meant portals, and portals were bad!
She began crawling out from under the table fumbling as she tried to escape. That was how the girl would kill her, a portal. Her innate fear of portals gave the panic waves the winning edge against what was left of her reason. 'Out!' her mind cried and she tried to obay. Her movements were clumsy and floor bound but even without her site she was crawling straight for the door.
