An ambush that took place in the Sunnydale High School library was an attack Drusilla on the Scooby Gang in 1998.[1]
History[]
Background[]
Earlier that year, Angel lost his soul and reunited with his former comrades Spike and Drusilla.[2] A few days before the ambush, they stole Acathla and placed the demon in their mansion. Angel attempted to awaken Acathla, who would suck the world into a hell dimension, but he failed the ritual. Not knowing how to complete the ritual, he sent a vampire to call Buffy out to duel one-on-one.[1]
Meanwhile, the Scooby Gang discovered a disc belonging to the late Jenny, which contained the Ritual of Restoration to restore Angel's soul. Receiving Angel's challenge, Buffy decided to accept the invitation while Willow prepared the Ritual of Restoration. The young witch intended to perform it at the Sunnydale High School library, where Giles, Xander, Cordelia, and Kendra assisted her.[1]
The battle[]
While Buffy was away fighting Angel, the other Scoobies were attacked by a group of vampires at the library. Willow was knocked unconscious when a vampire pushed a bookcase on her, Xander had his arm broken but gave Cordelia the opportunity to escape before he was punched out, and Giles got knocked out as well. Kendra fought the vampires, slaying one of them.[1]
Drusilla entered the library and called the vampires to stand down so she could personally fight the Slayer. Kendra tried to fight her, but Drusilla got the upper hand and used her hypnotic abilities on Kendra. Once the Slayer was defenseless, Drusilla used her sharp fingernails to slit Kendra's throat, killing her. Drusilla commanded the remaining vampires to take the Watcher with them.[1]
Aftermath[]
Buffy, realizing her fight was a trap for her friends, ran back to the school. Once Buffy arrive in the library, she only found Kendra's body on the floor.[1] As she leaned over it, the police arrived, pointing a gun at Buffy and believing she was the assailant. Buffy ran away and became a fugitive.[3]
With Giles captured and tortured, Buffy went to rescue him and stop Angel in a battle at Crawford Street mansion. A hospitalized Willow attempted to perform the ritual again and successfully ensouled the vampire.[3]
Kendra's death triggered the next Slayer to be called, Faith.[4]
