"Deal with the Devil"
By Buffyrules.
Summary: After Buffy fights the Master she wakes up on a beach, with a man Standing over her.
Timeline: First Season Finale of BTVS, The Drawing of the Three: The Dark Tower II, before Roland wakes up on the beach.
She was at peace, she no longer felt the weight of the world, she rested. She woke up hours later on a beach, the sunlight was too bright for her, she squinted her eyes as she looked around. What she saw was nothing, nothing but sand and water all around her.
She tried to push herself up but her head wouldn't allow it to happen, she laid back down. Who knew purgatory would be like my old world, she told herself. The sand felt more comfortable then her bed, at her house. Her house, Dawn, Willow, Xander, mom, Giles, god how I miss all of them. She put her hands to her face and cried.
The sound of crunching sand pulled her back into reality, she got up on her elbows, her head started throbbing harder, and saw a the silhouette of a dark man standing against the sun, she couldn't see his face, but he looked like he was wearing blue jeans and a sweatshirt. Even though she couldn't see his face, she could see his grin, the grin of a monster.
He stood over her, hands on his hips and looking down on her. He didn't move, not a muscle in his face moved, even the wind didn't move his hair.
"Hello there" He saluted her and walked a couple spaces towards her, as if he was hesitant to be near her.
"Who are you?" she asked, trying to block the sun so she could look at her face. She could still only see the shadow of his face. She got a bad feeling from this guy.
"Nobody, nobody you know anyways. I am here to offer you a deal." The man reached into his pocket and withdrew a paperclip.
"What kind of deal are you talking about?" the girl asked, the vibe she was getting from him was enough to make her turn it down right now and here, but she wanted to see, just in case.
"Your too young now, but lets say eight, seven years from now when I need help you help me. I will grant you three, yes three wishes between now and then." His grinned managed to stay on the man even when he was talking.
"Ok, but lets say seven or eight years come, what happens then? You come for my soul?" She was now on her feet, even though he head had made massive protest.
"Nothing like that Buffy, you just help me exterminate an old enemy. You aren't well experienced in the ways of magic and the world yet, I would eight years or so you should be perfect." It seemed he had read her mind, she was going to ask him why didn't she just kill the enemy right now.
"Our conversation is done, its time for you to go home." The man walked up to her, put his hand on her forehead and started saying world in the High Speech.
"What's your name?" she asked, but she was thrown backward and everything disappeared. She opened her eyes and was looking right into Xander Harris's eyes.
"Randall Flagg" was what she heard after she caught her breath. He gave her life back to her. She was about to start celebrating when she remembered what was going on. The Master was about to leave the sewer, he did escape the sewer.
