Giles was reading an ancient text as someone knocked on the door, Giles looked up and walked over to the door.
“Bloody hell! Hurry up!” Spike shouted from behind the door, “I’m burning out here!”
Giles reluctantly opened the door and Spike ran in quickly holding a blanket close to his body and there were flames burning through the blanket.
“What do you want?” Giles asked as he crossed his arms in disgust, “I thought Buffy told you we didn’t want anything to do with you.”
Spike was looking for an answer as Buffy herself walked in through the open door followed by Willow who was laughing happily. Buffy looked at Giles and then at Spike looking confused.
“What are you doing here?” Buffy asked she too crossing her arms and waiting for an answer.
“That’s what I’d like to know,” Giles said unhappily, “Willow, do you mind shutting the door?”
“Yeah thanks,” Spike said removing the blanket, “Listen slayer, I’ve got some information.”
Buffy was into a large room that was support by three stone pillars, a large demon sat on a silky mat in the center of the room.
“Welcome Slayer,” the demon said, “I haven’t had one of you for a long while now. The other two are becoming terribly dull.”
Buffy didn’t say anything but looked at the floor, she didn’t want the demon to see her eyes watering. The Slayer could feel the demon trying to read her mind but she blocked it and then finally looked up.
“Do you have something to hide my dear?” the demon snarled obviously quite angry and disrespected, “For I am your friend, I do not wish to hurt you. You have a purpose here unlike my other workers. The Powers have chosen you and I would not wish to destroy their decision.” The demon waited for a moment realizing that she was not speaking, “Speak my dear”
Buffy paused for a moment and searched her brain for the question you wanted to ask most, “Why am I here?”
Buffy waited for a moment and then said, “So your telling me that an ancient prophesy about the chosen one is about to come into pass. In this prophecy a war between four different sets of demons from four different dimensions attack the hell mouth and I sacrifice myself to save the world.” Buffy then stopped and said quietly,” Typical day at the office.”
“You shouldn’t show too much concern Buffy, the prophecy doesn’t label any date or if it’s even you.”
“So your saying that if it’s not me then Faith gets to die.” Buffy looked down again, “God I hate being the Slayer.” Buffy was about to open the door to leave when Willow, Buffy’s best friend, touched her hand.
“Buffy wait. Don’t go. You’ve stopped a prophecy before, killing the Master without…”
Buffy finished her sentence, “Dying? Let’s face it Will. This is the real deal this time. I’m going to die and there’s nothing anyone can do to change that.”
“Do you see?” the demon whispered, “Do you understand now?”
Buffy nodded and forced a smile, the demon had told her what had happened. How she had sacrificed herself for no other reason that it said so in a prophecy. She hadn’t even stopped the war; she had just left her friends to die.
“Now then my dear, it’s time for you to be put to use.” The demon smiled as Buffy looked up into his eyes, “You see I like to mate with Slayers. It gives me strong children, so now then my dear. This is where it ends.”
