Chapter Five: A Metting is Held
Everyone sat in the lobby waiting for someone to speak. Buffy and Angel sat together, Willow and Kennedy sat together, Faith, Dawn, Andrew, and Giles sat together, Gunn, Fred, and Wesley sat together, and the potentials had just taken empty spot and were scattered about. Everyone turned to Buffy to see what she had to say.
"I don't think that I've told everyone this, but I've had some strange dreams since we've arrived here. My mother has been in most of them, but it's almost like she's not my mom. She's kinda evil. I know she's not the First though because she's corporeal. I'm just really confused." Buffy turned to look at the group wondering who would respond first. It was Willow.
"That's not anything at all to really go on. Even if we were to do some research, where would we start?" Willow asked.
"Willow has a good point, Buffy. We've been in LA for only a short time and you've had about two dreams and all of a sudden you all 'something evil is coming.' I just don't know it that's enouch to go on, Buff." Xander added.
"You haven't even told us exatly what happened in your dreams." Dawn looked at Buffy hoping that she would provide the group with some details.
"I know...it's just so hard to explain. The first dream I had wasn't that bad. I was patroling in the graveyard and my mom came up to me. She was talking and not making sense. Saying things like I needed to rest and that I had no idea what was coming. She reached out and touched me and then said something like 'I'm back and I'm bigger that ever. There is no way you are going to stop me. I'm going to kill you soon.'" Buffy explained.
"Again with the 'we don't know what it means either' answer." Xander replied.
"I know it isn't much at all. I'd just thought I'd warn you guys. Something in my gut, I can't explain what it is, but ti's telling me something is coming and that we aren't going to be ready."
"Does this sound familiar to anyone else?" Kennedy asked. "How about last time something in your gut told you we had to attack Caleb then and there without knowing anything about him."
"Yeah, B. I think you just need to chill some." Faith looked over at Buffy. "I know you have dreams sometimes that turn out to be prophecies, but I can have them too sometimes. Most of the time we probably have them around the same time. I have to admit that I've been sleeping soundly."
"Faith does have a point, Buffy." Giles took his glasses off, cleaned them, and put them back on.
"Sorry to change the subject here, it's all so interesting, but where is the Principle Wood guy?" Andrew asked.
"I don't know." Buffy responded. "Didn't he come downstairs with the rest of you?"
"No. I didn't see him." Faith replied.
"Me neither." Willow added.
"Maybe he's just asleep or something." Xander suggested.
"Yeah, you guys are probably right. I'm sorry I called together this pointless meeting. Nothing's going on. It's just me being paranoid. I guess it's kinda like with the Master." Buffy sighed.
"And we know how that all ended."
"Sorry."
"It's okay, Buffy. You were upset and just wanted to talk with us." Willow replied.
"Yeah. I'm just glad it didn't end up with more potentials dead and Xadner's other eye poked out." Kennedy added.
Buffy glared at Kennedy.
"Sorry. I didn't really mean it the way it came out." Kennedy appoligized.
"Did you guys hear that?" Dawn asked.
"Nope." Buffy responded.
"I could've sworn it sounded like screaming or something. Oh...there it is again."
"I heard it. Let's go upstairs."
Everyone got up and went upstairs. They listened closely and then heard the screaming again. It was coming from Principle Wood's room. Buffy ran to the door and tried to open it. It was locked. She kicked it down and was shocked at the scene before her.
"Oh my God." Buffy said as entered the room. She then raised her hand to her mouth.
"What is it...oh." Faith saw what Buffy saw and soon everyone in the room did also. Principle Wood lied on the floor. There was blood every where and he was...he was...dead.
