Katherine James was a NYC lawyer who worked pro bono for battered, neglected, and abused spouses and children. She lost her sister to an abusive husband that beat her and their unborn child to death, Tatiana had been in her third trimester. She had still been in law school at the time and she regretted so many things. Tatiana and her hadn't been close in years, not since she'd married Ryan and cast our family and all the sacrifices our parents made aside to be a house-wife. There was a time we had been close, back when we were teenagers. We were constantly together watching episode after episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I was a strict Angel fan even when he went berserk. Tati was always going back and forth claiming each one as her favorite with every new guy Buffy dated. It had been our regular bonding time.
It had been nearly 12 years since Tati's death and still to this day she could not understand the sheer depravity of some people. It had been late the night she left her office. She'd gotten off the subway near her apartment at nearly 10. Only she never made it across the block. She'd been pulled into a small alley and a man held a knife to her throat, only somehow he was frozen. When she looked around she realized the entire world was frozen.
"That would be my own doing."
"Thank you but how? Who are you?"
"I am Neutrality." I looked at him as if he'd lost his mind. Yea, ok superhero wannabe. "I can hear you." His voice rang in my mind.
"Oh, shit."
"I require your assistance Ms. James and I am afraid I cannot offer you the option of denying me."
"I don't understand. I'm just a family lawyer, I mean unless that's what you need me for?"
"No, though I'm sure some where you are going some would require such aid."
"Where I'm going? Look, I don--" It was as if my voice had been taken away.
"You see my siblings, shall we call them, have decided that they will simply begin playing with our Father's creations and when they finish one games they reset it and start again. Watching their 'pieces' from afar and occasionally acting in their so called interest." He'd looked down visibly upset before turning to me. "You have seen one such instance with a tv show that was based upon that world. I believe it's called Buffy the Vampire Slayer, correct?"
"Y-You want me to believe your some higher being . . . from a tv show?"
"Is that really so hard to believe when I just froze time?" He looked at me as if I was stupid. "Nevertheless, as I said I am afraid I can leave you no option of denying me. You are the best chance I have."
"Me? I haven't even watched the show in years! Isn't there someone else? Anyone else?"
"If I just needed someone to know the show that would be easy. No what I need is someone who can think and act. Someone who isn't afraid to make enemies or fight back even without help. I need someone who will stand for those who cannot stand for themselves, someone to teach them how and to keep them on the right path. What I need is someone like you. Let me assure you Ms. James, there are far too few of you in any world."
"Well that's nice, I guess. The compliment, not the world of douchebags. Obviously." I quickly stopped myself before I could go on rambling. "Still though, me?"
"If it would please you I could simply wait to take you when you die in a few moments. I simply thought it would be best to take you before such could occur and possibly leave you traumatized." I let out a nervous laugh.
"Wait, are you serious?"
"Very much so. Katherine James is set on this world's death list, tonight. More specifically 1 minute and 27 seconds after I restart time."
"Fuck me."
"I never quite understood even remotely why that was apparently enjoyable. It just seems like a mess of bodily fluids so I'd rather not." My eyes widened and mouth dropped slightly. "Oh, you hadn't meant it that way." I shook my head in a no.
"Regardless, there was to be a Slayer that was called before 'Buffy'. Ironically enough the adopted cousin of Willow Rosenberg."
"Willow has a cousin?"
"Yes, not that she was ever aware. Ira Rosenberg lost contact with his younger sister shortly after marrying. Unfortunately Annabeth, his niece, was killed due to a car accident, brought on by a patch of black ice on the road, along with her guardians moments after being called due to the injuries she sustained. Buffy will still be called as Annabeth's heart gave out on her way to a hospital. But with her death I need you to take her place. Of course, there's also the part in which I need you to ensure Angelus or whatever he is calling himself now is not drugged into his obsession with your new sister and ends up losing his soul." His lip twitched up.
"Drugged?"
"An influence of my siblings the 'Powers That Be', it was a fine but permanent mixture of love and lust spells mixed into a powder that combined with the vision of Buffy's calling and the events following after and his own feeding on the very creature that absorbed it. This and what follows cannot happen. I will ensure Angelus"
"Angel"
"Very well, Angel, listens to the warnings of his inner demon and send my own vision of your calling, temporary death, and survival to be seen when he realizes the deceit before him. This will ensure he knows of you and that he does not in fact belong with 'Buffy' and that such would only lead to ruin what with him needing to be drugged into it."
"And why is he going to care about me being a Slayer?"
"You are his mate which is a loop hole in and of itself when it comes to the gypsy's happiness clause as it completely obliterates it. Mates are rare but not unheard of and only occurs for Master Vampires. A status both he and his childer, Spike, achieved quite young. It is yet another reason I require you specifically. You see Katherine James, your soul is a near perfect match to both him and his demon."
"Near but not exact?"
"There is no exact match. To be exact one must learn the other, have their 'edges' softened, so to speak. The fact is you are it for him or rather you will be once you exist within the same world. A shame really how most soulmates find themselves in completely alternate universes. Oh well. You should be happy though Ms. James, you have a soulmate and are being given a chance to be with him. Now, let's begin the merging."
"Wait!"
"What now?" He says aggravated.
"If I don't even get a choice in this then how about a deal?"
"A deal? What deal?"
"I want to meet Angel when he's Liam. Before he turns into a drunk. And I want to have babies. I mean you're talking about sending me to a world where it does become possible for him to do it and he's going to be my soulmate so I want it to be me having them! But not having them bring about the end of the world you know! And that gem of Amar or whatever its called that can let him walk in the sun."
"I will permit it under the condition that the key, Dawn Summers, be born from you. She shall be the child of you both and must be born within the year of your arrival or you both shall lose the ability to have children. As such it would be best for you to lay with him as soon and often as you can when in the past. If you do not return to your new world's present time pregnant neither of you shall have any child of your creation for it would not be until years later the spell to allow such would be activated leaving your womb as barren as it is now." She ground her teeth together at having that thrown in her face.
"Fine."
"Anything else?" He asks sarcastically and my mind immediately thinks back to his words. Why not ask for more if he was going to be a prick about it.
"Well now that you ask. I want Ethan Rayne to do his Halloween costume chaos a year early, have all the spelled pieces I would need for it, and keep all the benefits but not the negatives of the costumes I make. Also, I want to be emancipated and have enough money to get settled anywhere I want without having to worry about how I'm going to afford rent and food or anything else. Probably in the form of life insurance payouts, stock, or an estate sale. If I'm doing this I may as well be comfortable and have the money to make sure Angel and I and whoever else comes along are too. And you said I could use my knowledge as a family lawyer, for who?"
"I believe the ones who could use your assistance the most currently are Faith Lehane and Alexander Harris."
"Faith? Her parents were alcoholics, if I remember right. Xander too well his Dad at least." Visions were suddenly bombarding my mind. Xander in his basement bedroom and his father coming down, drunk with a belt in hand. The belt striking Xander, the metal buckle cutting at the skin of his side. A young Faith being struck in the face by her mother's boyfriend, as the woman watched. The woman from before screaming that she was useless. A new boyfriend watching as her mother beats her telling her how to not leave bruises. Faith noticing another man watching her from her bedroom door as she pretends to sleep, clutching scissors in her hand.
"The last one was the most recent. You will have your time in the past but you must hurry once you awake in the hospital to save the girl from what is to come. This is what will be the start to her path of darkness. Next you wake, you shall be in 1752. When your time there is up you will find yourself awakening from a coma of 5 months shortly before your uncle would have immediately pulled the plug after being told his medical insurance would no longer cover the cost and therefore leave him to inherit all that was left to you."
