Chapter 8: "Hay! Watch the eye."
Scene:The library
It had just gotten dark and Willow was on the net looking over some
websites. {I'm probably the only person who has the obituaries
bookmarked.} she thought to herself as she typed away.
She was still waiting for Oz to come pick her up. Before sunset Xander came by to go on patrol with Buffy, she was going to mention to Xander about her letting it slip to Buffy that Xander and the Buffy of this reality were a couple, but Xander was out the door once she told him Buffy had already left. Willow heard the library doors fly open, making her jump.
It was Giles and he was out of breath "Wher...where's Buffy?" he asked,
then looking around the library and seeing that she was no where in
sight he knew she had left "Damnit!" he muttered.
"Giles what it is?" Willow asked getting up from her chair.
Giles caught his breath and then continued, "We have to find her, I
found the way for her to get back to her reality."
"How?" Willow asked.
Giles indicated with his finger just a minute and started opening the
book he had under his arm before continuing, "The key is the demon's eye on his forehead. It has some kind of magical power that allows him to control doorways to alternate plains." he said looking at Willow who
had a confused look on her face. He claified "Alternate realities."
Willow shook her head "No I understand alternate realities...w-well
sorta, but what I don't understand is why are you in such a
hurry since you said the demon can't open the doorway until the full
moon?"
"Because I also found out how to kill the demon." Giles said.
"Good." Willow replied with a smile until she saw Giles'
expression, "Not Good?" she asked sounding uncertain.
"No, not good. It seems the only way to kill the demon is...to
destroy the eye."
Willow looked at Giles with alarm "So if Buffy encounters this demon
and kills him she..."
Giles finished for her "She will possibly destroy her only way back
to her reality."
======================================================================
"So this is the slayer I've heard so much about." said Darla as she
circled Buffy, who was now standing next to Xander.
Xander was watching Darla out of the corner of his eye, but most of
his attention was focused on the three eyed demon.
Darla saw Xander staring at the demon and she smiled "Looks like your
boyfriend is pissed at somebody."
Buffy turned her head slightly, so that she could still see Darla in case she made a move, and saw Xander looking angrily at the three eyed
demon.
"Xander!" she yelled. When he didn't answer she yelled again, "Xander!
Focus." she said hoping he would snap out of whatever state of rage he
was in.
Xander wanted to go over there and rip the demon apart for killing
the person he loved, but he was starting to get control of himself
hearing Buffy yelling his name, well, until the demon spoke, "I guess I get a second chance at you boy. To bad your girlfriend isn't here." he
said glancing at Buffy before the demon corrected himself "Well, I mean the one I killed." he said smiling.
Xander snapped, pulling a stake out of his pocket as he charged at the
demon and two vamps, "Xander No!" Buffy yelled, but it was too late. He was out of her reach before she knew it and too her surprise Xander
dusted the two vamps so quick they didn't even have time to react,
but the demon was another story, to which Xander found out too late. After he stabbed the demon in the chest with the stake the demon
growled in pain and then flung him backwards on the grass.
Buffy turned to take on Darla, but she was gone {She's a coward
unless she has guns} Buffy thought as she turned her attention to the
three eyed demon.
The demon staggered, holding his chest as he faced off with Buffy. The
eye on his forehead started glowing, and then Buffy knew what she had
to do to kill the demon.
======================================================================
Scene:Back at the library
Willow was sitting by herself at the table as Giles was in the book
cage {What if Buffy can't get back to her reality, then she thought
about that. It would be nice to have Buffy back, but it wouldn't be
what Buffy would want...I mean if I were stuck in some other reality
I wouldn't be happy} Willow thought as Giles came out of the book
cage with some weapons as he handed Willow some holy water, crosses, and stakes. Then keeping some for himself, including a big sword. As they headed towards the library doors to go find Buffy, Willow told Giles about her letting it slip to Buffy that her and Xander were a couple in this reality.
"We'll deal with that later." Giles said looking at her as he nearly
bumped into Oz, who was coming through the library doors at the same
time they were leaving.
"Hey, What's with the heavy armory?" Oz asked looking at the sword
Giles was carrying.
"We have to find Buffy and Xander." Willow said.
Oz was about to ask why, but Giles cut him off, "We'll fill you in on
the way." he said getting his keys out of his jacket.
"Well, if we'll taking your car then I'll have time to hear the long
version." Oz said half smiling at Giles.
"Fine, we'll take your van. Lets just hurry." Giles said as they
walked out of the library while turning the lights out.
As they left the library a figure moved through the library to the back of the stacks.
