Hmm, have to do some expo. for all you non buffy fans.
Quentin Travers is from the Watchers Council. The people who find the slayer and appoint a watcher to...er...watch over the current slayer. Quentin has been in ooh about 2 episodes (I think) and both times comes across as not a particularly nice individual. Cold and heartless actually.
The first time he came he insisted on Buffy doing a test (unbeknownst to her) to see if her intelligence matched her strength. This was done by disabling her strength (don't ask - this explanation will be long enough without it) and then she had to rescue her mother from a nasty vampire. Which would be bad enough without the fact that he did it to her for her birthday. Personally, I think I'd prefer money for a present but there you go.
The second time he insisted on her doing another test to see if she was worthy of him giving the information the watchers council had, which would enable her to save the world if she wasn't good enough then they kept the information, and probably bring about the end of the world in the process. What a lovely person.
And suddenly I'm glad I don't own him. Or anyone else in this story for that matter.
Chapter 10
Faith looked around the room, weighing up the possibilities. Escape seemed highly unlikely. If eight vampire slayers had tried to get out already before she arrived and now they were down to six, things were not looking good. She laid down on her bed and decided to try and get some rest. Perhaps I'll dream a way out of this place, she hoped.

The first thing that the Fellowship found themselves faced with was clothes. Modern day clothes. Travers explained to them that they would be far too suspicious in their current garments and it would be best if they changed out of what they were wearing and into something else which he had provided. It took some convincing, but soon they were dressed in clothes that would make them less noticeable. Although Travers thought that even in normal clothes the Fellowship looked highly unusual anyway. He prayed that people who saw them would just assume their way of explaining odd occurrences away as they did with the existence of vampires.
In fact the Fellowship didn't look too bad in modern clothes. Once they had changed Travers took it upon himself to explain the situation to them.
"The demon who has caused all this basically wants to destroy all slayers for all time. You know what a slayer is correct?" The Fellowship nodded in answer. "Good. The other problem is that once that happens, barriers between worlds will weaken. Your world could end up with something that it is unprepared for. Vampires for instance. The problem then is of course that your world is unequipped for them. And there would be nothing there able to stop them."
Legolas shuddered as he thought of the stories Faith had told him of her world and battles there. It had taken her a long time to open up and tell him everything about it. She had dreamt of evil for a long time after her death, many times he had to wake her up from yet another nightmare. If she was scared of those things and she was a slayer, how would middle earth cope? He realised that he hadn't been listening to the watcher and turned his concentration to the man known as Edmund Travers.
"...Our priority is of course the slayers." Travers continued, "We must rescue the current slayer. The others are already dead and are therefore negligible..."
"No." Gandalf said.
"Pardon?"
"The other slayers are not 'negligible'. We will rescue them all." It was perhaps fortunate that Gandalf was the only other creature in the room who understood the word negligible besides Travers. The rest of the Fellowship, particularly Legolas would have reacted less calmly.
"The other slayers are not important!" Unfortunately Travers was not as intelligent and observant as he thought he was. He found himself facing an arrow pointing at him from an enraged elf.
"We are here for Faith." He stated quietly. "You will rescue your own slayer."

This is taking longer than I thought..... Sorry! Real people around me seem to be under the impression they are more important than this and consequently I keep getting interrupted... Oh yeah I'm not describing what they're all wearing - you can all imagine that for yourselves.... R&R please!
