~ Rome, Italy – two months later ~
Rebecca and Buffy sat quietly on the bench overlooking the festivities. They had herd about this cultural festival and decided to check it out. Buffy looked over to her niece and Smiled
“So you feeling any better this morning?” she asked
“Got a good night sleep last night,” Rebecca replied, “first one in weeks without the nightmares.”
Buffy put her arm around her and Becky leaded her hear on Buffys shoulder.
“Giles and Will are looking into it now so we should have some answers soon,” Buffy replied, “hey, do you want me to buy you one of those coffees I can’t pronounce?”
Rebecca smiled and nodded.
“Alright wait right here.”
Buffy wandered off in the direction of the café. Rebecca sat silently and watched the word go by.
“You are confused.” A male voice said
Rebecca looked up to the source of the voice. It was a tall man with a kind face who was dressed like a monk He was flanked by two other monks.
“Pardon me?” Rebecca asked
“Your mind is trying to pull you down two different paths and you are not sure if either is right.”
“I’m sorry do I know you?”
“Forgive my rudeness,” the man replied, “my name is Brother Gabriel. I am one of the monks responsible for creating your mother.”
Rebecca looked up at the man cautiously. Slowly she shifted away from him.
“Okay,” Rebecca replied, “I’m going to be going now.”
“I understand Rebecca. The nightmares of a life that wasn’t yours are overwhelming. And the strange powers you acquired from destroying the Star of Asgeroth are equally confusing.”
Rebecca was mystified. How did this monk know so much about what was happening? Brother Gabriel sat down next to her.
“What do you want with me?” Rebecca asked anxiously
“We are here to help you,” Brother Gabriel explained, “and to tell you the true purpose of why you were created.”
“I know why I was created. Wolfram and Heart used me to get Becky from the hell dimension.”
“Oh no. That is the reason they think you exist. You birth was prophesized centuries ago.”
Rebecca shook her head in disbelief. This was making no sense at all.
“What?” Rebecca asked
“Come with us Rebecca I promise to explain everything to you once we arrive.”
“I can’t,” she replied, “Aunt Buffy will be back shortly.”
“The Divine One is not willing Gabriel.” The monk standing to Brother Gabriel’s left hand side said anxiously
“Patience Brother Marcus,” Brother Gabriel replied, “She is willing. Her fear holds back her true potential.”
Brother Gabriel touched Rebecca lightly over her heart. There was a small static shock then suddenly waves of energy flowed from that spot.”
Rebecca stood up anxiously as the energy filled her body. For the first time she felt the full force of her new power. She looked over to Brother Gabriel in shock
“Will you come with us Rebecca?” Brother Gabriel asked
“Alright,” Rebecca replied.
Something strange was definitely happening to her and for some reason she felt these monks had the answer. Brother Gabriel took her by the hand and walked her away from the crowd. They entered and Alley. Brother Gabriel waved his hand and chanted something in Latin. In front of them a perfectly circular portal opened. On the other side it looked like some kind of temple. Rebecca looked hesitantly at it at first but the comforting look from Brother Gabriel made her forge on.
“I promise you will be ready to meet your destiny . . . Divine One.” Brother Gabriel said as they walked through.
The portal closed behind them.
Buffy return back to the bench she looked up and noticed it was empty.
“Rebecca?” she asked curiously
Maybe she had gone for a walk to clear her head Buffy thought. It was then she noticed Rebecca’s handbag still sitting there. Buffy dropped the coffees and looked around the festival anxiously
“Rebecca!” she called out
Buffy searched every inch of the carnival. By now she was frantic. She almost tackled any brunet that was near her. finally she ran to the center of the festival.
“REBECCA!!!”
