Chapter Six
Day Four: Crazy Emotions

"So," Anya said, looking at Sage who was lying on the couch, watching TV.
"Yeah?" Sage asked.
"Peanut?"
"I'm allergic," Sage said.
"Oh," Anya said. "Peanut?"
"I said no!" Sage scowled.
"Water?"
"No thanks," Sage said. "I don't think Holy water tastes right."
"You knew it was Holy water?" Anya asked.
"Yeah," Sage said. "Looks different."
"Oh," Anya said. "You get to sleep in the room at the end of the hallway."
"You're not gonna tie me up?" Sage asked.
"No," Anya said, shutting down the TV. "Let me tell you a secret," Anya sat down on the couch and leaned in.
"What?" Sage asked.
"I'm on your side," Anya whispered.
"Huh?"
"I'm all for you being the Queen!" she said urgently. "I tipped off Willow, Buffy, everyone else so you could get outta there! Then, I told Spike and everybody that it was okay and you didn't have to go! Seriously! Do you ever listen?"
"Not usually," Sage said. "So, why do you want me to rule the world?"
"Well, all demons are currently on your side," Anya said. "They don't have to go evil to be on your side. They just support your rising. Now, if you were the new Master, or a big killing demon, you'd have problems."
"And I don't have problems?" Sage asked.
"Not really," Anya said. "Some of the oldest, most known vampires are sleeping in sewers waiting for your rising."
"Are you gonna call me Queen and stuff?" Sage asked.
"If you feel like it," Anya said. "Now, it's time for you to go to sleep. Future queens of Hell need sleep."
"Right," Sage said, practically smiling. "Going to sleep," then, she walked into the room that Anya said was hers.
Two hours later, Anya checked on Sage and made sure she was sleeping. Anya closed the door quietly and grabbed her phone and dialed Buffy.
"Did it go right?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah," Anya said. "This double spy stuff is really annoying. But I would be really non-annoyed if I had some money."
"Too bad," Buffy said. "Thanks for the help anyway. You did tell Spike not to storm the house, right?"
"Oops," Anya said. "I sorta.forgot. But I told Sage I did!"
"Buffy! Help!" Dawn yelled in the background.
"I've noticed," Buffy said. "I've gotta go now, bye!"
"Great," Anya said.
~*~
Sage couldn't fall asleep. She could never fall asleep. And after two hours lying in bed, Anya had come in and checked if she was asleep. Then, she heard Anya calling somebody, and Sage's ears had perked up.
"Yeah," Anya said. "This double spy stuff is really annoying. But I would be really non-annoyed if I had some money."
Sage wondered what Anya was talking about.
"Oops," Anya said. "I sorta.forgot. But I told Sage I did!"
What had Anya lied to her about?
"Great!" Anya said.
Sage scuttled out from under her covers and pressed her ear to the door. She heard the TV turn on, then the sound of popping popcorn.
"Boy," she heard Anya say. Vampire senses were doing good for Sage. "I go through all this trouble to get Sage over here so Spike doesn't take her and Buffy yells at me because I forgot to tell Spike to not go. I knew I forgot something.and now I'm stuck with Sage. This sucks."
Sage's eyes widened.
"And then now a bunch of demons are gonna try killing me if they find out. I'm dead, this sucks," Anya said. "Sage sucks. There's like no use for her. Just some lifeless thing lying around who's gonna end the world."
Sage fumed, she wanted to go out there and.hurt Anya. And Buffy, and Willow, and Giles, and even Dawn who she hadn't seen for a little while. She wanted to hurt her dad.Oz, he had gotten her into this mess in the first place.
~*~
Oz sat on a bus again. He was going to much on busses, he needed to stop going away from places. But, at least this was a short ride. He was going to an airport in LA, far away from Angel Investigations, then flying to Tibet.
Oz didn't want to know that the world was ending, and he didn't want to kill his daughter. But she isn't your daughter, a voice said inside his head. He loved her like a daughter, of course, but she wasn't his real daughter. Oz thought he didn't deserve to have a daughter, what kind of father was he? He had gotten her hurt, he had abandoned her, come back, then left again. Oz reached into his bag which had a few things he had retrieved from the Summer's house before leaving.
He pulled out a tiny stack of old, tattered papers. They were the papers that made Sage his daughter, and he began to rip them into strips. He ripped them until they were scattered on the ground. Then, he pulled his locket out from under his shirt and opened it. Fingering the picture of him and Sage he peeled it out and ripped it with the rest of his papers.
It was over. The world was now officially over by tomorrow.
~*~
"Dawn!" Buffy yelled. "Get outta here!"
"Okay," Dawn said gratefully.
"Giles!" Buffy said. "Get me a stake!"
Giles tossed Buffy a stake and Buffy staked the vampire in front of her.
"Where's Spike?" Buffy asked, pinning a vampire to the ground.
"Spike?" the vampire asked. "H-he bailed out. Invited us in and left."
"Seriously?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah," the vampire said, grinning. Buffy jammed the stake in his heart.
"I got the water!" Willow said, walking in. Her and Xander were toting buckets of Holy water in and they threw them on the vampires, soaking everything.
"You were supposed to get the vampires," Buffy said, who had gotten drenched.
"Uh-huh," Xander said, putting the buckets down. "Now, what are we gonna do?"
"What do you mean?" Buffy asked.
"It's the fourth day," Xander said. "Tomorrow's the end of the world."
"Not unless Buffy stakes Spike," Willow pointed out. They all stared at Buffy, who had tears forming in her eyes.
"I.I don't know where he is," Buffy said. "Moviefest?"
"Well I was thinking on the lines of love," Xander said. "But movies are good with me."
"I'm going out," Buffy said. "To find Spike."
"Why do you want to do that?" Willow asked. "I have one idea, but."
"I have my reasons," Buffy said. "Bye."
"I believe I must go too," Giles announced. "Maybe I might just find a way." and then he headed out the door too.
"So," Xander said. "What do you want to do?"
"I have some ideas," Willow said. "Like the Snoopy dance."
"I haven't done that for years," Xander said. "I'd love to. Then after that I have several ideas."
"I'm all for them," Willow said, grinning (A/N: I'm not going any further this chappie use your imagination)

Sage rummaged through the drawers in her room. Her clothes were bloodstained, ripped, soiled. She searched for something her size. She found a pair of thin gray sweatpants and a loose red T-shirt that went a little bit above her bellybutton.
She searched for more clothes, but they would have to do. Sage stared at herself in the mirror, her reflection was slowly fading away. The blonde and streaks of brown had reached up above her shoulders. Reaching into a pair of scissors in the vanity, she found an old pair and stood in front of the mirror. She began to chop, watching the locks of hair fall to the ground. Pulling out a brush, she brushed out her hair, having fun trying to style it. Now her hair looked layered and uneven, each strand slightly a different shade.
Grabbing the dark blue button-up sweater she had found, she opened the window and climbed down the fire escape. Her platform sandals hit the ground and she pulled the sweater tighter around her. Where could she go? Spike was probably raiding the Summer's house, Oz wasn't there, he didn't really feel like her father anymore. Anybody else she had ever known in Sunnydale hated her, they would be looking for her once they had found out she had escaped.
She walked towards the high school, the Hellmouth. But she wasn't going in the school, where the Hellmouth really was. Oz had told her it was in the library, or the principal's office or something. She grabbed a hold of the gutter and began to climb up to the roof.
~*~
"What d' y' want, Slayer?" Spike asked, as he was slammed against the wall.
"Why'd you do it?"
"What d' y' mean?"
"You were gonna storm the house, take Sage away."
"And who said I wasn't going to?"
"You're supposed to be on our side, Spike!"
"I'll choose what bleedin' side I want t' be on, Slayer," Spike said. "I'm not your little servant, and I'm a bleedin' vampire! Have you noticed?"
"Yeah," Buffy said.
"And I'm not gonna go turn my bleedin' back on the thousands of vampires waiting for me!" Spike said, then stormed out of his crypt. He felt like finding Sage, she needed someone to be there.
~*~
Buffy headed back home and Dawn was there, watching a movie.
"Hi," Dawn said blandly. "What're you doing?"
"Getting weapons," Buffy said, grabbing several bottles of Holy water, stakes, a crossbow, and even crosses.
"Who're gonna stake?"
"Sage," Buffy said, "and Spike," under her breath.
"I guess I can't come," Dawn said.
"Nope," Buffy said, then headed out the door.
