They also didn't have such fancy weapons. Most had spears or swords, though simply made. Some even had a shield, whether it was kite, round, or long an rectangular shaped.
Another difference about these statues was that the stone they were made of did match the wall. They were all a dull grey color, Buffy guessed slate or granite. The other difference was that, the marble statue was built into the wall; these men seemed to be stuck in the wall.
All she could see of the young man was his waist up, the rest of him wasn't there, covered in stone. His body was parallel to the floor, like he was diving away from something. His arms were outstretched and his face had a mix of terror and pain all over it. She walked over to another statue and found basically the same thing.
This one seemed to have been running, his muscles pumping hard, his face with panic all over it, but what was he running from? She walked around the room and found at least twenty statues, besides the one made of marble, all of them scared and seemingly frozen in time. All running or jumping or cowering away from something. All with faces twisted in agony.
She went back to the marble statue, unable to look at the other statues any longer. She walked up to him, now realizing how out of place and different he seemed compared to the rest. He seemed almost calm, even though he seemed to be shouting orders. She walked up to the man and touched the amulet briefly.
It began to glow, it started out small, a feint glimmer, but then it expanded, until the entire gem was a glowing mass of light. Buffy backed away, unsure of what was happening. The expanding of the light continued, going up the strap of the necklace and then continuing through the statues entire body.
Now the outline of the statue was completely white light and the amulet was a small sun. Buffy shielded her eyes and then she heard a loud crack. She turned to look and found that the marble statue was falling out of the stone wall. No, not falling, walking out, the whole statue was walking out. It was moving and it was breaking out of the stone it was connected too.
She backed away even more and suddenly the light stopped glowing, the amulet had stopped shining. And standing before her, completely made of marble, was a living statue. The statue walked forward, his face placid, his walk a swagger. He stopped right before her and smirked. "Hail young maiden, what are doth doing here?" His voice was deep and cold, his tone taunting.
A/N- By the way, you may find that the statues will sometimes speek old fashioned and sometimes not. Excuse it, chalk it up as error. Plus, I know the statues wouldn't speak english, but can't you just imagine that that's part of the spell. For me, please. I don't think it would be very interesting if we couldn't understand what they were saying. Thanks.
