Chapter 14: Sacrifice
For the third time since arriving in this world Buffy dreamed. She knew, somehow, what was going to happen beforehand. So when the other Buffy gave her a sad smile and told her it was time, she knew exactly what she was talking about.
“See you soon.” She said and Buffy nodded.
Buffy woke up. She managed to get out of bed without waking Angel and then she changed. She went in her old pants pocket from that night and took out the needle and ejected the drug into her system.
She bit her lip and looked at Angel, regret showing in her eyes. There was nothing she could do, though. This was something she had to do, her destiny. She suddenly knew how the other Buffy felt.
“I love you.” She whispered and walked out of the room and out of the hotel.
Buffy* had had enough of Drusilla. She walked out of the warehouse they were staying and went out to wander the streets of L.A. She tried to shrug off the feeling that was pushing her in a direction, it seemed right though.
After about fifteen minutes of walking she found herself in an alleyway, she recognized it but brushed it off as she saw a figure standing in the shadows.
“You can come out you know…” She said and smiled as the figure walked into the light.
“Decided to come out now?”
Buffy nodded. “I think you know what I’m doing here.”
Buffy* shook her head. “Oh really? Have you come to try to fight me, avenge her death? Trust me when I say there is nothing you can do to make it better.”
It was Buffy’s turn to smile. “Oh, but that’s what I’m here to do. And I can think of something.”
Buffy took a crossbow from behind her and shot. The other Buffy* dodged it and growled changing into a vampire. “Do we really need weapons?”
“No, but I needed to get started somehow.” Buffy said and closed the distance between the two.
“You know, I know your style. Once upon a time it was our style so I should be able to know your every move.”
Buffy nodded. “I’m counting on it.”
The other Buffy launched at her but Buffy didn’t move.
“If I knew it was going to be this easy I would’ve brought Drusilla.” Buffy* said she knocked Buffy to the ground.
Buffy got up and kicked the vampire, who stumbled and came forward with a couple of jabs to the face. Buffy felt her lip split and tasted blood in her mouth. Buffy knocked the vampire down with a punch, which she recovered quickly from and got up. She launched herself at Buffy again and rammed her into the wall.
Buffy gasped as the wind was knocked out of her. She head butted the vampire and came forward with a kick to the stomach. The vampire fell to the ground and Buffy came forward and slammed her fist into the vampires shoulder, dislocating it. The vampire grunted and threw Buffy off her into the brick wall.
Buffy saw black spots as her head slammed against the wall and she reached up to feel the back of her head, it was bleeding and a big gash was there.
When she looked up the vampire was there. She slammed her foot into Buffy’s stomach and Buffy felt her ribs crack. The vampire grabbed her off the ground and threw her again. Buffy staggered to get up, but the vampire was there. Buffy* grabbed Buffy’s neck, cutting off the oxygen.
“You did good.” The vampire told her and turned to the side to spit out blood. “It’s going to be fun having two of us around.”
Buffy stopped struggling against the vampire and closed her eyes. This was something that needed to happen. She remembered in the book it said that a great sacrifice had to be made for it to be how it once was. Buffy hoped that this worked and that it helped. She silently prayed to whatever god that was out there that her friends would be okay. She hoped they knew what to do. Buffy* lowered her head toward the other Buffy’s neck and bit her.
After a couple minutes and almost succeeding in draining the slayer, the vampire collapsed to the ground, as did Buffy. The drug, Orpheus, began to take effect.
