The slayerettes rushed into the library, desperate to find out whether
the council had agreed to help them. Giles had called them from the plane.
He only told them to meet him in the library and to set the rest of the
plan in motion.
Giles had been gone for two days. In those two days the slayerettes had
waited anxiously, afraid that the council would deny its help. Giles
activation of the plan had given them hope.
When they entered the library, they were surprised to find a group of
strangers sitting around THEIR table. They looked at each other, trying to
figure out what to do next. Before they could open their mouths and ask
the strangers who they were, Giles came out of his office. Kendra
following close behind.
"Kids, I’m glad you made it," said Giles. "Did you proceed with the
rest of my plan?"
"YES," they answered in unison.
"Well done!" said Giles as he kept walking, oblivious to the
slayerettes' aroused curiosity
"Giles, If you don’t mind me asking," said Xander with impatience. "Who
the heck are they?"
"Oh, I’m sorry," said the watcher finally realizing the teens needed an
introduction. "Let me introduce you to the Watchers Council."
"Goody!" Willow giggled excitedly. "Does this mean they will help us
with the spell?’
"Yes it does," said a man who appeared to be the youngest member of the
group. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Cassiel. My colleagues and I
are here to help you."
A woman was the next to stand up. "Hi my name is Artemisia Gentileschi.
It is an honor to finally meet the famous 'slayerettes'."
"Did you hear that? We are famous," said Xander as he turned to glare
at Giles.
"Famous and appreciated," said the third member of the group. "I’m
Domenikos Theotokopoulus and it has been a pleasure learning of your
creative ways of fighting the forces of evil. Mr. Harris I specially
enjoyed your use of the missile launcher to kill the judge."
The slayerettes looked at each other, surprised to learn that the
Council knew exactly who they were. The Council had carefully reviewed
their profiles before approving their participation in the slayer’s sacred
duty. Formal introductions were unnecessary.
"So Giles why did you have us get permission to use the underground
club," said Cordilia finally breaking the uneasy silence that had filled
the room. "Are you planning a party for the council or something? Cause if
you are the Bronze so much better. The other club is totally creepy, I
mean Buffy’s friend got turned into a vamp there."
"No, I’m not planning a party of any kind," Giles smiled at the
comment. He had actually missed her simple-mindedness. "I’m planning to
lure Buffy and Angel to the club and trap them there while the spell is
performed by the Council members. That particular establishment is
appropriate for our purpose because its entrance door can only be opened
from the outside once it is closed."
"No offence, but I don’t think that is going to work G-man," said
Xander. "They’ll know it is a trap right away."
"They will have no other choice but to come to the club. They will be
made to believe that Watcher’s Council ordered Kendra to contact the Order
of Taraka and put a contract on Buffy’s life," said Giles as he glared at
Xander. "They will be told that Kendra wants to do the job herself and
that she is challenging Buffy to a fight to the end."
"What if they decide not to fight Kendra and head for the hills?" asked
Willow suddenly afraid that they wouldn’t be able to pull this off.
"That won’t happen," said Giles sounding very sure of himself. "They
know that there is no way to escape the bounty hunters. They also know
that the only way to cancel a contract is by eliminating the person who
ordered the contract in the first place. In our case that would mean
eliminating Kendra."
"Wow G-man, that is pretty impressive coming from your tweed-wearing
uncreative self," said Xander.
Giles let out a deep sigh as he closed his eyes, tired of Xander’s
unsolicited comments. He also reminded himself to ask the irritating teen
to refrain from calling him that ridiculous name
"So this is happening tonight?" asked Oz trying to distract Giles. He
could clearly see the angered expression on the librarian’s face. He also
found Xander to be pretty exasperating and couldn’t understand how his
beautiful and intelligent girlfriend could be friends with the geek.
"Yes it is. I know that I don’t have to tell any of you that this will
be very dangerous." Giles tone had become deadly serious. "Buffy and Angel
will put up a fight. I will understand if any of you decides to stay out
of this.’
"No way are we staying out of this. Buffy and Angel are our friends and
we will do whatever it takes to get them back," said Willow. The other
teens nodded in agreement.
"Well if you are sure, there are other arrangements that need to be
made for tonight’s ceremony," said Giles before proceeding to give the
teen further instructions.
The slayerettes quickly dispersed to do their assigned tasks. The
council members looked at each other, amazed at the palpable loyalty
amongst the group.
Across town a note was being delivered and a challenge accepted.
Tonight the fate of Sunnydale and possibly the world would be decided.
Tonight true love would fight the forces of evil.
