Hi folks...so I haven't updated...well in a while and this chapter was kinda written on a whim so if it sucks tell me if it doesn't-tell me, if I should keep writing- tell me…I think you're getting the picture.
Buffy paced restlessly in front of Giles, stopping periodically to run her hands through her already mused hair or to throw her hands up in the air in sheer frustration.
“Buffy, I won’t be able to begin looking for something unless you calm down enough to tell me what happened a little more clearly.”
At that Buffy stopped and glared at Giles, “Giles, I’ve been through it so many times it barely makes sense to me.”
Giles pointed to a chair and, getting the hint, Buffy sat down and took a deep breath and tried to explain what happened earlier more calmly.
“Ok, I was patrolling with Angel when I got that weird feeling again,” she began
“What weird feeling?” interjected Giles, confusion clearly etched on his face.
“The one I was telling you about earlier, how I felt scared…” she reluctantly admitted, “and before you can say anything, I know I said I was just tired but now I know I wasn’t,” she added off of Giles’ look.
“Fair enough, please continue,” Giles concluded, thinking that his slayer knew him too well.
“Well then something hit me, I don’t know what it was but all I saw was everything that has ever scared me in my life. Things that scared me when I was a kid and things that I assumed I had gotten over,” she paused and took a deep breath.
“When I came to, I was on the ground and whatever did it was standing in front of me. When we-“
“We?” asked Giles.
“Oh…um Angel was with me, anyways when we asked what she was she said she didn’t have a name and that she was old…is that even possible?” she asked.
“There are records of beings so old they escape name,” Giles told her
“Well this one said her name was Anna. She was short-ish…red hair…and she has power Giles. I don’t know what she did but she had Angel on the ground in seconds.”
“She’s stronger than Angel?”
“No, she didn’t physically get him on the ground, it was more mentally. She said she could show people more than what they are afraid of. She closed her eyes and he went for her and at the last possible second she opened her eyes and he was on the ground.”
“Well you said you saw everything that scared you in your lifetime, what did he see?”
“I don’t know, he wouldn’t tell me,” she finished.
“Where is he now?” asked Giles
“I made him go home and then I came here. Giles please find something on this…thing, soon please? I really don’t want to feel that way anymore,” she all but pleaded with her watcher.
“I’ll try my best,” he promised me
“All right, I’m gonna head home then,” Buffy said as she stood up.
“I don’t want you out there alone, Buffy,” Giles said.
“She won’t be,” a new voice rang out. Giles and Buffy turned their heads towards the new comer.
“I thought I sent you home,” Buffy told Angel, clearly annoyed at how he didn’t listen to her.
“I couldn’t go home until I knew you were home safe, “ he said, somewhat embarrassed.
“Fine, lets go. Giles, I’ll see you tomorrow ok?” Buffy said as she crossed to the doors.
“All right, and do be careful you two,” he added as Buffy and Angel walked out of the doors. He sighed and got up and went to his office. He pulled out his teapot and began making himself a cup. It was going to be a long night.
