Summary: An encounter with a demon doesn't go exactly as Buffy had hoped.

Stupid Demon

The stench coming from the slain demon clung to the back of Buffy's throat and caused her to gag. Trust the stupid demon to smell worse dead than alive. She covered her nose to try and block out the odor as she searched it.

Giles had said that it was carrying some sort of magical amulet - one that could trigger an apocalypse. As long as they could get it, they'd be able to prevent the end of the world… again.

She was so busy searching, that she never noticed the bluish fog emanating from the body. She paused for a moment to swallow the bile that threatened to rise. Opening eyes she never realized she had closed, she searched the last pocket.

Letting out a whoop of triumph, she stood, holding the small amulet out. She suddenly noticed the fog, as it seemed to coalesce around the amulet and glow.

"Uh oh," she whispered.

The blue fog surrounded her before permeating her very being. Her world reeled and she could feel herself gagging once more.

The next thing she knew, she was on all fours on a metal grate floor, the amulet still clutched tightly in her hand. She couldn't hold it back anymore and vomited her dinner.

She groaned as she rolled onto her back to see seven faces peering down at her. "Stupid demon," she muttered before passing out.

"Huh," said one of the men looking at her.
