Buffy Fights Evil: Chapter 5


"Well Buffy...I can't think of any reason for Faith to run away from you like this except..." Giles started then trailed off.
"Except what?" Buffy asked.
"Except if..." Giles started again.
"If what? Buffy questioned once again.
"Unless she's a...fake." Giles said and with that, no one knew what to say to that.
"A fake?" Willow asked.
"Precisely." Giles said.
"How?" Asked Xander.
"Ugh...A moment please." Giles said then walked over to the wooden bookshelf and selected a book about witchcraft and spells. "Yes."
"Yes what?" Willow asked confusingly.
" I have it!" Giles exclaimed then laid down the book on the table so everyone could see.
"In here...there is a spell. A slayer spell." Giles started.
"What's a slayer spell?" Xander questioned.
"A spell that gives you the strength of a slayer." Giles answered.
"Oh...yeah...I think I've heard of that." Willow said. "But, what does that have to do with Faith?"
"She might have used a slayer spell to claim her self to be a real slayer...but as we figured out in the beginning, there can only be one slayer. Unless..." Giles explained then looked at Buffy with extreme fear in his eyes.
"Unless...what?" Buffy hesitated afraid of the answer.
"Unless...You're the fake." Giles answered.
"What?!" Buffy shouted. "How can I be the fake? I've been the slayer for years!"
"Well...One of you have to be the slayer...but not both." Giles said.
"Isn't there a spell to uncover which slayer is the real one?" Willow asked.
"Oh...yes." Giles said as he flipped through the pages in the book. "Right here. It says that in order to decide which slayer is the real slayer, we must get three things from that slayer."
"Any three things?" Xander asked.
"No. A certain three things...a lock of hair, a drop of blood and something...anything with the slayers finger print on it." Giles said. Buffy stopped drinking her half full can of soda and brought it over to the sink. She poured it out and then picked up the scissors next to the sink. She cut off a small lock of hair and placed it in a Ziploc bag. She did the same with the soda can. Then she took a knife a cut her finger slightly, so only a small drop of blood would drip out. She gathered up all of the things then walked over to Giles.
"Here's my three things...Now how are we going to get hers?"
