Liz sighed, trying to think of a way out of this mess. She knew they
wanted answers, answers she wasn 't ready to give yet. "W...where did you
get that?" Giles asked, stuttering with suprise.
Liz shook her head, "Not important right now. What is important is
that I'm here and I can read the stuff." she said quietly putting her
jacket back on.
Tara had just joined the group along with a chattering Dawn behind
her. All talking ceased as they both felt the major tension in the room.
"What's going on?" Dawn asked.
Anya explained, "This is the Slayer when Buffy died the last time.
You know, and came back because Willow took her out of Heavan," she said
without missing a beat even though everyone else's faces downcasted, "and
now she and Buffy share dreams, along with Faith. And the girl can read a
language that Giles obviously can't." She smiled at herself, very pleased
that she didn't need to take a breath explaining all that. Dawn's mouth
went into 'o' formation and she looked at Buffy who was staring intensely
at Liz.
Buffy was confused. In the dreams they didn't share anything about
their personal lives. Only about slaying but it seemed like Liz was hiding
something. Protecting something. The way Liz stared straight ahead, not
daring to look at anybody else. Then Buffy looked at Spike who was looking
at her with the same expression. Something twisted in Buffy's stomache,
just thinking about Spike having some kind of interest in Liz made her feel
sick. Wait! No! Why should she care if Spike had interest in Liz?
Right? Right, she confirmed to herself. Suddenly Spike caught her
staring. A slow smirk appeared on his face and Buffy turned away, her face
burning. Liz broke the akward silence.
"Are we going to do this or just look at each other." she said, she
sounded more annoyed than she ment to. She had a sick feeling in her
stomache. She felt like this would involve everyone's favorite aliens.
She wanted to keep the two worlds far apart as possible. She didn't want
aliens to interfere with demons and vampires, she didn't want Buffy and her
friends involved in the lies and FBI and everything. They had too much on
their hands as it is with demons and saving the world. The same went for
the aliens, they don't need to know about demons and vampires. Despite how
she acted she still cared deeply about them. Involving them with her life
as a slayer would only make things worse. That's why she pushed them away,
for their own good. She truly wanted Max to be happy, with his son. She
loved him and she knew that if she stayed with him it would only cause
heartbrake for all of them. So she stayed in the middle,by herself,
knowing more than anyone ever should, and she was going to keep it that
way.
"Yes, well, come along then." Giles said leading her to the back. He
nodded to Anya who went to the door and turned the sign over to closed and
locked the door. They didn't need anyone bothering them. Giles got out a
long scroll, that was yellow with age and had cracks in it, and spread it
out on the table. On the top of the scrolls she could see the sign that
Liz had seen so many times. The sign that was burned in the ground, the
sign of the Max's alien lagacy. Liz's mouth clenched. She looked down at
the scroll, the scribbles that no one could read turned into plain english
for her. She looked over it with a confused look on her face. "Well, what
does it say?" Willow asked behind her. "I don't get it..." Liz said then
she looked up at Willow, "It says...
Two wolds in perial Need one another to prevail The four royals from one are in danger The three Slayers from another must protect The Slayer of light; the Slayer of night; and the Slayer of the stars The three must join to become as one An evil unseen threaten both worlds Both evil's combine; so must all warriors of good The Slayer of the stars will be the key to bring together both worlds The son of the King and the Queen is the world's only hope for survical
Liz's eyes were slightly glazed over. She looked up at everyone staring at her in awe. "What does this mean?" Willow said braking the eerie silence. Giles took off his glasses and started to clean them, "Well I'm guessing the Slayer of light is Buffy, the Slayer of night is Faith, wich leaves us with the Slayer of the stars." he looked at Liz who was staring at nothing in particular. The prophcey made too much sence to her. Her worse fears were coming true. It felt like there was a knife in her gut. "We need answers Liz and I think you have them." Buffy said, her expression unreadable. Liz looked at Buffy her mouth clenched, "I think you need to call LA and get Faith out of jail one way or another." she said. Buffy shook her head getting a little angry, "Damnitt Liz, what are you hiding, because if you don't tell us then the whole world can be in danger." Everyone let the scene play out between the two slayers, no one daring to interuppt. Liz looked at everyone very slowly, "I need to make a call, there are people I know, I think they are involved in this. They are going to come and then I will explain everything. I don't feel like repeating everything twice so we get everything straitened out then," she said it calmly and slowly, almost like she was on the edge looking down. She looked at Anya, "Where's the phone?" Anya looked at Liz and pointed, she didn't even protest in making long distant phone calls. That's how high tensions were. Liz walked in the back room with the phone for privacy. ********************************************************** Everyone stood still for a moment, shocked. "What the hell was that?" Xander said looking around, "Was it me or was that weird." "It was weir alright, about a ten on the weird-o-meter." Dawn offered. "I was about to say 12." Xander countered. Giles looked at Buffy who was staring where Liz left. "I think some explaining is in order." he said to her. Buffy looked at him and shrugged. "I know just about as much as you do. She's from Roswell, and she has that tattoo, we never really went into depth in our personal lives in the dreams." Buffy said quietly. "S..something is o..off with her a..aura." Tara stuttered. Willow looked at Tara and went to her girlfriend. She had felt something too. "What is it?" Dawn asked. "I..it's more than human and m..more than slayer. Something I c..can't even describe." she said looking quite confused. "Is it possible she might be decieving us?" Giles asked. Buffy shook her head fiercely, "No, she's not. She's a good person, she just has alot of baggage. I suggest we do as she says. Stay quiet and put until these 'people' get here." Giles was quite surprised at this, Buffy was never one for a 'stay quiet and put' girl. Something was admist. They were so wrapped up in their conversation that they didn't even see Spike slip into the back behind Liz. ************************************************************* Liz dialed and waited for someone to pick up. It was Max's dad. "Hello?" he asked. "Mr. Evans, I really need to speak with Max, is he around?" she asked. "Liz! I haven't seen you around, is everything ok?" he sounded concern. "Everything is fine Mr. Evans, I just really need to talk to Max." "Ok...just a second." A pause and she could here someone yell 'Max!' Then another pause and with her Slayer hearing she could hear a faint 'What?' then a 'Phone!' Someone running down the stairs and a "Hello?" Liz took a deep breath, here goes, "Max." "Liz! Oh, God, Where are you? Where did you go?" she heard worriness in his voice then it was replaced by anger, "Why the hell did you leave! Tess and my son are coming. Kivar is coming." he said in a hushed voice barely concealing rage. "Max, I need you to somehow make Kivar meet you somewhere else. It's very important." she said in a calm voice. "What! Even if I can reach him, where do you want me to go? And why?" he said, his voice was now serious and curious. "I need him to meet you in Sunnydale, California. I need you to come along with Isabel and Michael. I suppose Maria can come but I wouldn't advise it." she said softly in the phone. "Why Liz, what's going on?" he asked suddenly concerned. "Max, you are going to have to trust me. This is life and death. I promise I will explain everything when you get here. But you must hurry, we don't have much time." she said almost despartely. "Alright, Liz, don't get upset. We'll be there, we'll try. But I 'do' want an explaination when I get there. About everything." he said in a stern but gently voice. "Ok...meet me at a place called the Magic Box." she said softly. "Ok...the Magic Box" a pause "And Liz?" "Yeah?" "I miss you.....we all do." A smile on her face, "I...I miss you too." "I love you." he said in a burst of bravery, he braced himself to get shot down. Liz was about to just hang up but before she did she said really soft, "You too." and hung up the phone, wondering if he even heard her. But he had and his heart swelled with new confidence. He immediately picked up the phone and started to call the gang together. As Liz hung up the phone she felt a presence behind her. She whirled around to see the face of a smirking Spike, "Well that was interesting." he said slightly amused. "Go away before you're dust." she threatened. He didn't say anything he just walked up to her and pinched her arm hard. "Ow!" Liz hissed out. She was about ot his Spike but she saw the amazed look in his eyes. "It didn't hurt! It didn't bloody hurt!" he said in awe. His eyes sharpened and he crossed his arms, "What are you?" he asked. Liz looked away and Spike whirled her around. Liz glared at him defiently, "Do you have a death wish?" she asked. Spike smirked, "Not if I can fight back. Now answer me." he said. Liz shrugged, "I'm a little more than human, someone did something to me and I think it changed me a bit." she said. "Who's Max?" he asked. Liz stiffened, "None of you buisness!" she hissed out. Spike smiled lazily, "He's obviously someone if he has you knickers in a bunch." he leered at her suggestively. Liz pushed him away but couldn't help but smile. "He's a friend...well more than a friend. But destiny has been standing in the way." Spike let out a snort, "It's alway bloody destiny." Liz looked at him and smirked, "And what about you and Buffy?" she questioned. Spike sighed, "Am I that bloody transparent?" Liz nodded and giggled, "You like her." she said. Spike shook his head, "More than bloody like, I think I love her. But it's useless, she doesn't care a thing about me. But that sure was one bloody great kiss." he said a bit dreamily. Liz raised an eyebrow, "A kiss, well she must care a little about you." she said. Spike looked hopefull, "You really think so?" Liz shrugged, "You don't see her kissing another vampire do you?" Spike grimaced. "What?" Liz asked. Spike shook his head, he was remembering Angel, but didn't voice it. "It's nothing pet, now let's go back in there before they think we're doing something other than talking." he looked at her, "I wouldn't mind giving it a go." he smirked. Liz shook her head, "Wrong Slayer." she said walking out into the lobby. Spike followed behind her. "They're coming." she said.
