Chapter Four
Day Two: Oz's Return
~*~
"You beat up Sage!" Dawn yelled at Buffy when she got home. "Be nice to the girl, she's dying in six days!"
"Well she's obviously not coming back," Xander said. "At least according to the mess of blood on the floor that she left."
"Well where would she go?" Anya said. "She just came here, so she doesn't have any friends, or relatives-"
"Except for Spike," Willow said.
"Okay, so we go to Spike's crypt," Buffy announced.
"Then what?" Dawn asked. "She probably all hates us now."
~*~
"I hate them all," Sage told Spike as she massaged her arm.
"Don't say that," Spike said.
"Why?" Sage asked. "Buffy nearly tore off my arm."
"Then hate Buffy, no reason to blame the Bit, Red, and everybody else."
"Okay," Sage said. There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Go get the door," Spike said.
"Okay," Sage said, then walked to the door and opened it.
"Who's there?" Spike called. Nobody answered. He walked up to the doorway and Oz was standing there.
"Hey, Spike," Oz said.
"Get out of my crypt!" Spike yelled.
"You sorta have to," Sage said. "Cause you're out to kill him and everything."
"What happened to your arm?" Oz said, staring at Spike.
"Whoa," Sage said. "Spike didn't do this, Buffy did."
"Buffy?" Oz asked.
"Yeah, because you dusted Angel," Sage said. "Then she got mad at me cause I'm your kid. She staked my arm."
"I'm sorry, Sweetie," Oz said, calling Sage her kid name. He pressed his lips to her forehead and tucked her hair behind her ear. "What's this?" he stroked the bite mark on her neck and stared at Spike again. "Did I win my bet?"
"Nope," Sage said. "Drusilla bit me. Then I dusted her."
"Good for you," Oz said, looking at her arm again. "I think Willow can fix this up for you."
"Sure," Sage said. "But I think Buffy might kill me if I go within a block of her house. And I think Buffy just might kill you if.she sees you."
"C'mon," Oz coaxed. "If Buffy hurts you, I'll pay you ten dollars."
"Okay," Sage said. "Why'd you dust Angel, anyway?"
"I didn't," Oz lied. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You mean you didn't dust him, seriously?" Sage asked.
"No," Oz lied again. "Why would I do something like that?"
"See ya, Spike," Sage said, and hugged him. Spike looked down at Sage, and then up at Oz, with a look of horror on his face. Oz's mouth curved upward. Then, Spike wrapped his arms around Sage and snarled at Oz. "Bye!" Sage called, then went out with Oz.
~*~
Sage stood at the door of the Summer's house and knocked.
"Oh, hi Sage!" Dawn said, opening the door. "And Oz," she scowled.
"Hi Dawn," Sage said.
"Buffy!" Dawn yelled. "Sage and Oz are here! You guys better come inside before Buffy gets here. You're invited in Sage."
The Scooby gang was sitting at the kitchen table, with mugs of coffee and juice, and donuts. There was an eerie silence, and nobody spoke.
"Where's Buffy?" Sage asked. "Ow!"
Buffy had hit Sage in the back of the head and knocked her to the floor while Oz was already knocked out and being tied to a chair.
"What're doing?" Sage asked while Buffy dragged her into the basement.
"This is for your own good," Buffy said.
This was where Sage found the upside to be turning into a vampire. She had vampire strength, and was probably stronger than Buffy herself.
"You're so getting it," Sage said groggily.
"What?" Buffy asked.
Sage jumped out of Buffy's arms and did a punch at her stomach. Oz had taught her a few fighting moves just for the fun of it when she was younger. Buffy slammed against the wall which actually wasn't very wasn't very far in the narrow staircase. Buffy slammed Sage against the adjacent wall.
"Rude," Sage said, rubbing her injured arm. She leaned against the a step and tripped Buffy. Buffy fell against the stairs, and Sage jumped on top of her.
"Help!" Buffy yelled as Sage jumped off of her into the basement, arming herself with a discarded sword on the floor.
Xander, Anya, Giles, and Dawn appeared at the foot of the steps.
"Hi!" Sage said. "I just wanted to say I give my greatest sympathies to the death of Angel, and why the hell are you trying to lock me up?"
Xander helped Buffy up and she seemed to be limping.
"I think she broke my back," Buffy groaned, "The only person who could do that would have to be inhuman."
"Sorry," Sage said, still holding her sword up. "I'm sure you staking my arm and dragging the strake through, then kicking me out the door was really inhuman."
"Okay, that's it," Xander said. He ran down the stairs with a double-bladed axe and Sage began taking him on.
"I'm sure that when you were a little kid you thought girls were all weak," Sage said, as Xander lumbered with the axe at her.
Sage grabbed the handle of Xander's axe and expertly twisted it out of his hands. She threw the axe onto the floor and continued for a few seconds with hand and fist fighting. In the end, Xander's head was wrapped with her arm, her sword at his throat, millimeters away from cutting his skin.
"I could kill you," Sage said. "But that's what other people do. Me, I'm just a person who's turning into a vampire, and you're ruining the last six days of my life."
Then Sage keeping the sword at Xander's throat, she walked him to the staircase. Her hand trembled, and to anybody it looked like she was ready to cut off his head. She lowered the sword to the ground and pushed him up the stairs.
It was then Xander, Anya, and Dawn who went in the next wave, dodging and ducking, barley having anytime for attacking. Sage hit Giles down first, with a simple trip and his glasses broke. She let Anya sprain her ankle trying to do a high kick, and for Dawn she kicked her several times in the stomach.
"I'm finished with Oz," Willow said. "And now I'll finish Sage," she stuck out her hand and pointed at Sage. "Sage to chains," and instantly Sage was thrown against the wall onto a heap of chains which tied her up.
"So," Buffy said, walking up to Sage and staring her in the eyes. "How do you like being a hostage?" Sage shot a wad of spit in Buffy's face.
"Gag," Willow said, and a piece of cloth appeared and tied itself around her mouth.
"Let me ask you again," Buffy said. "How do you like being hostage?" she said, pulling the gag forward so Sage could talk.
"I think it's horribly stupid and a waste of my short life," Sage scowled.
~*~ Flashback to: This afternoon ~*~
"So, why'd you try to slay her?" Anya asked.
"Because Oz dusted Angel," Buffy said.
"So?" Xander said.
"She's his kid, and Oz wasn't around," Buffy said, shrugging.
"And you staked her," Giles said.
"She's gonna be a vamp," Buffy said. "Oh," Giles said. "I finished the Vampyr Codex last night. And there's um.something I read. Sage, she's the.is immortal until the ritual is performed."
"But she's evil," Buffy said. "She's gonna end the world, and Oz is gonna kill her. So we trap Sage, and when the time comes we kill her. The end."
"The world still is gonna come to an end," Willow pointed out.
"We could throw her into the Hellmouth," Anya suggested. "That usually works, I guess. Sacrifice her to hell, nobody will want to come up. Or, maybe the Hellmouth will just close up."
"That's.actually a good idea," Giles said. "She'll come back soon, or one of us can get her."
"How do you know she'll come back?" Dawn asked.
"It's something you do when you run away," Buffy answered. "I know."
"So, what do we do?" Willow asked.
"When Sage comes, Dawn, you can invite her in," Buffy said. "I'll knock her out, tie her up in the basement."
"What if Oz comes?" Anya asked.
"Do the same thing," Buffy said. "Except tie him up in my room."
