Buffy the Shemale Vampire Slayer Part 7

Fortunately, this third vision was the last to flash through Buffy's mind. Were these hideous images merely the products of her own frightened imagination or were they clairvoyant perceptions of the torments that her friend, even now, was suffering at the hands, claws, pincers, talons, and tentacles of her abductors? Buffy didn't know-and she sure as hell didn't want to guess. She knew two things only-she must rescue Willow and she must make Anya pay for subjecting her best friend to the torments of this hellish demon dimension. She swore she would accomplish both objectives.

Continuing to run as fast as she could, following the spherical light that Willow had sent to guide the Slayer, Buffy flung out her arms, her eyes snapping wide as her lower jaw dropped, astonished to find that the ground underfoot was-well-no longer underfoot. Instead, she was falling through thin air. Darkness rushed past her. Then, abruptly, something solid struck her, and she twisted, landing upon her left side. The sphere of light was nowhere to be seen.

Painfully, Buffy rose. Her left shoulder ached, but no bones seemed to have been broken, for which she could, once again, thank her superhuman condition. She must have fallen the equivalent of several stories. Such a fall would have killed a normal person, but it had left Buff no more than badly shaken, with nothing more than bruises and a few cuts, scrapes, and scratches. The lacerations, abrasions, and contusions were already beginning to heal.

She'd be all right.

She hoped she'd be able to say the same for Willow.

The light globe was gone. Presumably, it had remained upon the planet's surface, failing to accompany the Slayer underground when she'd fallen through whatever it was she'd fallen through-a thin part of the crust, a hidden crater, the concealed entrance to a vast subterranean cavern, or, perhaps, a trapdoor. The light was faint, but enough illumination pierced the underground chamber for Buffy to realize that she was in a cave or a tunnel.
