Chapter 7 (Authors note: kk, the poem at the top starts from the
beginning, just because I like it and want to continue to use it, and yes
this will be Spuffy Roxxane, I wouldn't have it any other way and about the
spoilers, I was reading some, but I'm still unclear as to how it's gonna
end, so I started to guess from there, hope I didn't screw up to bad
**Kennedy dies doesn't she :P** but yeah on to chapter 7)
"When judgement is passed on the eleventh hour you spirit must cross or be devoured, the demons and angels will cry out in vain to claim your soul but not your remains, so all of the sins and decisions you made will be put on the scale and carefully weighed, for this is the day when judgment is passed, the day of the first...and the day of the last."
The connection with the punching bag felt good on her knuckles and took the pain away from other parts of her body, well more like her mind, but in other sense she just needed a little closure.
Buffy knew the thing was looking for her, knew that if the rest of the gang was still alive that they would get in the way somehow, but she didn't realize until later on in the day just how much she needed them.
Pulling her hands away from the bag she walked over to the farthest corner of the training room and picked up her duffel bag, reaching into it and pulling out a small flip phone and dialled the number she knew off right away, waiting for the other end to pick up.
"Summer's residence," a male voice answered and Buffy wrinkled her nose, holding back her retort as to why there was a male answering her little sisters phone.
"Yes, can I please speak with Dawn?" she asked, waiting impatiently for the man to go and get her, "this is her sister, can you hurry up please, it's extremely important," she told him trying to speed up the process.
"Oh shit," was her only response before he put the phone down to run and get her, Buffy smirked as she waited, crossing her fingers that the younger woman was home.
"Dawn Summers speaking how may I help you?" Buffy shook her head lightly, a huge smile on her face after hearing her sister's voice for the first time in almost 4 years.
"Dawnie?" Buffy mumbled into the phone and winced when she heard her sister's sharp intake of breath, "I'm sorry I haven't called and obviously whoever answered the phone never told you who it was," Buffy couldn't hold back the sharpness in her voice over the man who had answered Dawn's phone, obviously in denial that she was growing up. She heard yelling in the background and cheered silently as Dawn gave the man a tongue lashing.
"Buff, what's going on, please don't tell me it has anything to do with the slayers, because I can't handle that right now," Dawn whispered and Buffy nodded her head, then remembered that Dawn couldn't see her and replied with a yes, "dammit, I knew something was going on, but I didn't want to believe it, Willow called earlier and told me that she was expecting I would get another phone call but I didn't want to believe that it was more then a dream, even if it was reoccurring every night for the past two weeks."
Buffy listened quietly and smiled when she heard Willow's name, then came back into attention when she remembered about a certain someone else in the dream other then the thing and slayers, "and Spike? Was he in your dream too?" she asked and Dawn went quiet for a moment.
"Yes, he was drinking the things blood but obviously he didn't get a chance to kill it because it got away. It's hunting something Buffy, I don't know what but it is."
Buffy's face fell and she clutched the cell phone to her ear, "I know who it's hunting Dawnie, it's hunting me." Dawn went quiet again and she heard whispering in the background.
"It's going to Sunnydale Buffy, Willow told me it was and I can feel it, I can feel it's hunger, its pissed and when I say pissed I mean pissed. If your right about it wanting you, then it's gonna kill Spike to get to you and Spike's got its blood in his veins, we don't even know what the blood's doing to him either."
Buffy groaned and sat down on the training room floor, "we have to leave don't we?" she asked, but she already knew the answer to that, she had already started packing her bags.
"Lucian and I already started packing, we're leaving in about two hours and I think Willow is already on her way there right now with Giles and Kennedy, I don't know about Xander though, no one knows where he is right now." Dawn told her and Buffy frowned.
"Who's Lucian?" she asked and she heard laughing in the background.
"My boyfriend..he already knows Buffy, he kinda saved me from a vampire about a year ago, I'll explain it to you when I can actually see you alright, until then I hope you have your plane ticket ready and I have your cell phone on my caller ID, I'll call you when I get to Sunnydale."
Buffy nodded as she said goodbye to Dawn then hung up the phone putting it back into the duffel bag then looked around the training room one more time before picking it up and walking out of the room to go and take a shower. The plane was leaving in an hour and a half; she had to get ready to go.
