CHAPTER 6

EVERYONE

" So let me get this…you all had visions…too?" Giles asked once everyone had returned. They were all gathered in the library around a table.

" Too?" Buffy questioned.

" I had one as well…"

" Hmm…I guess we found out what that monster did to us." Xander mumbled.

" Now…we have to figure out what these visions are showing us…and why. Angel…what was your vision?" Giles asked as everyone's eyes turned to Angel. Angel had been in his own thoughts and suddenly jerked up and awkwardly glanced at Cordelia.

" Ummm…I-I basically saw m-me…"

" Yeah…" Buffy prompted.

" I saw me helping C-Cordelia get up off a floor of a hotel…I was c-consoling her." Willow and Xander's eyes widened as Buffy gasped.

" You and Cordelia?" She said gaping at Angel.

" Hey…sitting right here you know!" Cordelia replied noticing the reactions her name had brought up. She had to smirk at them.

" I was just helping her up." Angel replied apologetically to Buffy.

" Oh…what did you see Cordelia?" Giles said turning to her after rubbing his glasses.

" I also saw me and Angel…but we were like having an argument…"

" Oh really?" Buffy said, perking up now.

" Well he was going to go fight something and he wanted me to go home…we were like at this hotel…so basically it was like an argument for each other's safety…" Cordelia continued looking at Buffy.

" Oh." Buffy replied.

" You and Angel? At a hotel?" Xander exclaimed.

" Hey…I'm just tellin' you what I saw!" Cordelia replied. Angel then turned to Cordelia.

" Each other's… safety?"

" Yeah…kind of like what happened a while ago." She replied uneasily.

" Oh." Angel said as his mind wandered off again.

" Hey what happened a while ago?" Buffy asked curiously.

" Nothing." Cordelia said innocently.

" Anything else?" Giles asked Cordelia.

" Not really…oh but I had short hair…chin length…kinda cute." Cordelia responded indicating the length of her hair. Angel smiled slightly…but then suddenly stopped.

' Whoa…why did I smile?'

" Hmmm…what about you Xander?"

" I saw this girl…that I was thinking of asking out today…and we were like at this table talking…Willow was there too with this other girl. And I think we were engaged…" Cordelia, who was taking a sip of water, sprayed it all over the table.

" You…Xander? Engaged? Now that's something I got to see!" Cordelia scoffed.

" Hey!"

" How much did you pay her? Was she ugly?" She continued.

" She was one of your friends!" Xander retorted with a smirk.

" What!!! Wait…which one? Was it Harmony?  Oh my God! You were engaged to Harmony!" The two then started yelling at each other.

" Ok…children…settle down…we do have a bigger problem here then Xander being engaged to Harmony…which by the way…ewwwww!" Buffy interrupted.

" It wasn't Harmony!"

" Please…we have a serious problem here. What about you Oz?" Giles responded.

" I just basically saw MTV sayin' that my band's song was number one."

" Really? Wow…my boyfriend's a star!" Willow exclaimed as she gave Oz a peck on the cheek.

" Hmmm…what about you Willow?" Willow's joyful eyes then darkened.

" Well…uhhhh…I was overcome with magic or something…warlock was making me dance around…it was confusing…" She stammered.

" She was high on magic." Buffy replied casually.

" Buffy!"

" You said you were!"

" Really?" Giles asked Willow softly.

" Yeah…I think so."

" Oh…"

" But I know that I would never do that…" Willow stammered.

" We know you wouldn't." Oz said as he consoled her.

" What about you Giles?" Buffy asked.

" Well…this is hard."

" All of them are hard…spill old man." Xander said.

" I w-was leaving Sunnydale…I was leaving you, Buffy."

" What?"

" I don't know why…I'm sure that it must have been for a good reason."

" Wow, this day couldn't get worse!" Buffy grumbled to herself.

" What did you see Buffy?" Angel asked softly. She turned to look at the others and gulped.

" I s-saw my grave."

" What?"

" I saw a grave of me…with a tombstone and flowers and everything."

" Are you sure it was you?" Giles asked calmly.

" I think I know my name and it was on the tombstone…except also on my t-tombstone it said 'beloved sister'…I don't have a sister." Buffy responded, as there were some murmurs.

" A sister? Dead?" Angel repeated bewildered.

" Yeah…I'm gonna die."

" We don't know that." Angel responded placing his hand on her shoulder for comfort. Cordelia looked at the two and for some reason fidgeted.

" Yeah…well Giles did say this was a future demon…didn't you Giles?"

" Well yes…"

" So it's obviously showing us our future."

" Is that true Giles?" Willow asked.

" Well…I believe Buffy is right. This particular futurus demon showed us our futures through visions. I haven't found much information about the visions themselves, their consequences and why they are being shown to us…yet."

" So now we know what it's showed us. Now we want to know why…" Buffy began as the others turned to look at the books.

" Ummm…I know this is getting all interestin' and stuff…but it's late…I need shut eye." Cordelia responded getting up. Research was not her thing.

" Cordelia's right…you all need sleep. We shall continue this tomorrow. Meet me here in the library tomorrow morning…all of you."

" Ahmmmm…" Angel coughed as Giles looked at him.

" Oh yes sorry…after school then…in the afternoon." They all got up and retreated from the library slowly. They were all deep in thought about what their futures held for them and what their friend's futures showed.
