Buffy and Willow sat together listening as The Dingoes Ate My Baby were finishing their last set. Buffy had surprisingly been having really great time tonight. All was quite on the Sunnydale front as far as she knew. And she had earned a much-needed night off from patrol. And with the Mayor out of the way what was there to worry about she thought. Her thoughts were interrupted when she noticed her mom and Giles come in the doors of the bronze. They spotted her and quickly made their way through the crowd.
When they reached the table Giles looked out of breathe. "Buffy.. thank god we found you." She said gasping for air. He leaned against an empty chair. And Buffy looked at both of them. She noticed how worried and sad her mother looked, and she began to get uneasy as Giles continued, "Your life.. is in danger." He was still catching his breath as he spoke.
Then Buffy interjected, "What are you talking about Giles? I'm fine the Mayor's history. And all is right in Sunnydale. She was both anxious and apprehensive, what could Giles be talking about. She looked at him waiting for him to explain and she glanced at Willow, who looked even more worried then Buffy was.
As the looks continued the Dingoes finished their song and Oz made his way to the table. "what's with the pow-wow?" he asked placing an arm around willow and looking over the faces of everyone there. He noticed the serious faces and the fact that Giles was sweating and figured something must be up and not of the good.
"Buffy, I found an ancient text this evening. And in it predicts the death and mutilation of a slayer in order to bring strength to a new master. One more powerful then any vampire you've ever faced." Giles began he looked serious and distraught. "it shall start with the ritual killing of three boys." He said and paused remembering the report he had heard on the scanner while waiting in the car for Joyce. "Buffy there were three boys found murdered on the lawn of a church tonight just as described in the book another was found hanging in the door way gutted and ripped apart." He finished and looked at her seriously.
"Giles I'm fine." Buffy said then looked at her mother who looked terrified, "Mom it's ok. We took care of the last prophecy where I died this is no different I promise." She insisted. Then it dawned on her, "wait Giles you said a slayer is killed?" Buffy asked as her mind began to work over time.
"Well yes. Why?" Giles replied unsure why she had asked. She sat there shaking her head realizing what it meant, she began to stand. Grabbing her things she looked at the others who looked confused. Then a light bulb went off for Giles he knew now what Buffy was thinking, "oh lord I came to warn the wrong slayer." He paused for a moment then said a single name, "Faith."
"Exactly. Why would any one in their right minds come after a fit slayer when there's one laying in a hospital bed unconscious and unable to fight back?" she asked as they all started grabbing their things, "if they need a slayer that's where they will go first." She added as they began to head for the doors.
