Chapter 3: Methos and the Naming
"Methos I have a problem." Buffy said.
'That's like the understatement of the year.'
"What?" he asked, although he had an idea.
'She's worse than Macleod, and he's an overgrown boyscout! But she's stuck on the sacred duty shit!' he thought
"Well, I kind of told Angel that I loved him and he kind of lost his soul and then drained me and fed me his blood and then they buried me and now they think I'm dead and I have two large dogs that are following me around and telling me that they are bounded to me." She spit it all out, hoping that he would only catch a little bit of it, "I need to get out of here."
Methos wasn't sure if he should send her up to Seacouver and then out to England to join him or to a mental hospital.
'Well, she is the chosen one, so weirder things have happened. She wasn't supposed to be immortal anyways.'
"Alright, head up to see Macleod and I'll send my plane to get you and then you'll join me."
"Uhh, Methos?"
"Yes?"
"How am I supposed to take the dogs? They aren't exactly inconspicuous."
"It's Sunnydale, I'm sure that they've seen weirder and will forget about it once your off the bus."
"And Methos?"
"What?"
"You're not allergic to dogs are you?" she giggled when she heard his frustrated sigh, that almost sounded like him growling at her and hung up on him.
Giles House
"We need to think," Giles said.
"Well, Xander may as well go home." Cordy said, eyeing the annoying boy.
"Right," he said, trying to hold the laughter in, as was everyone else in the room, "Were would Buffy go, if she thought we would stake her?"
"Uhh, if I were her, I would leave the town. Remember how she ran after the master killed her?" Willow asked, looking around the room.
"Right, to the bus depot." Giles said and they all piled into his itty- bitty car that was slower than Death itself.
"Giles, could you at least get a real car?" Cordy asked, once again tactless.
Bus Depot
"Now boarding to Seacouver. This is the last call." The annoying person said over the loud speaker.
Buffy boarded her bus with the two hounds and Methos was right, no one seemed to notice them at all. As they were pulling out, Giles's car could be seen.
'Shit! How did they find me so quickly?'
'All will be alright, we will not let anything happen to you.'
The boys thought, trying to calm her, she could hear them chuckle when she had jumped a little bit.
'Hey! You try getting used to someone speaking inside your head. one second thought, you're probably used to it. So, what should I name you?'
'We have no idea.'
'How about Liam and Ainnle?'
'Protector and fierce warrior. We like them.'
Buffy eyed the dogs and wondered which one should be which.
'Uhh.. Do you have a preferance?'
'No.'
Again, Buffy looked at them. They were both huge dogs, but one was completely black, while the other was completely white. They complimented her and Angel, before he lost his soul. She nodded to the black one,
'You will be Liam,' she then looked at the white one, 'And you will be Ainnle.' Both dogs, merrly seemed to nod at her and then laid at her feet waiting for the bus to stop.
Bus Depot (Giles and Them)
"Excuse me sir?" Giles asked the young man at the ticket counter. "Could you tell me where the bus was headed?"
"Seacouver."
"And when is the next bus headed there?" Giles asked, knowing his little car would never make it there.
"Thirty minuets."
"Can I get five tickets?"
Seacouver
Buffy felt the prescence of another immortal and tensed up, Ainnle and Liam stood by her side, ready to attack if necessary.
"You've picked up some companions I see." Said a familiar voice.
"Mac! It is so good to see you!"
"Alright, you ready for your flight?"
"Ya, where am I go and are you going too?" she asked, wanting to catch up with her sparring partner that she had beaten within five mins. of meeting.
Flashback
"I am Duncan Macleod of the Clan Macleod." Said a six foot man, with long black hair, pulled back into a pony tail, he was dressed in dark slacks and shirt and a black trench coat and he was pointing a sword straight at Buffy!
"I am so thrilled for you," Buffy said, "Do you think that you could.. Duck!" she yelled as a vampire hit Duncan with a lead pipe. Buffy and the vampire fought, neither noticing Duncan starting to move, until Buffy staked the vampire and he turned to dust.
"What was that?" Duncan asked a bit shaken.
"Vampire." Buffy said, "Hey! Shouldn't you be dead or something?" she looked at him, when she felt another headache coming on, by the look of it, so did Duncan. Another man, dressed similarly to Duncan came running towards them toting a sword.
"Alright, what type of demon are you?" she asked, "And can I leave, or do I have to kick your ass?" Duncan looked amused by the thought of her kicking his ass.
"Duncan! You all right? And who's your friend?"
"It's okay, Adam, and we haven't been properly introduced, I don't even think she knows what she is." Duncan started, before he was quickly interrupted by Buffy.
"Yes, I do. I am the vampire slayer." She said. She watched as Adam looked at her in open curiosity, while Duncan still had no idea.
"But, you're supposed to be a myth and it was not supposed to pass onto you."
"What wasn't supposed to pass onto me and who the hell are you people?"
"Uhh, maybe we should take this else where?"
"No! Tell me."
"Alright, you are immortal, like we are, and I am willing to help train you."
"Riggggght!" Buffy said, "I'm immortal, except for the tiny fact that I am the slayer, which immediately sets me up with a short life span of only a year or two after being called. Uhh. Try on someone who is more gullible." She turned to leave, when she felt a hand on her shoulder, without thinking about it, she threw Duncan over her shoulder and stepped on his chest.
"Don't touch me." Buffy warned, Duncan shifted under her and tried to flip her, but Buffy was quicker and she somersaulted backwards, and grabbed the sword Duncan had dropped, before turning on him, sword in hand. Duncan eyed the blonde, he shifted his focus, noticing Methos sneaking up on her, but she noticed his eye movement and turned, running Methos through with the sword, he looked at her with surprise, before dying.
"I thought you were supposed to be immortal. Thank you, please come again." She said, before running Duncan through also.
She turned to leave again, never noticing Methos' body get up.
"Ouch!" Buffy wheeled around and found Methos standing there, with no hole in his chest.
"But, I. You." She said, finally beginning to realize that she might be immortal.
"Now are you willing to talk?" Duncan asked, as he too got up.
Buffy simply nodded following them out the door.
That night
Buffy tossed in her sleep as visions filled her head. She saw villages burning and destruction all around and then she saw the four horsemen. She watched as the took of their masks and she saw Adam, but they called him Methos. Buffy woke up screaming, at the bloody scenes the powers that be showed her.
"Buffy?" Methos asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing Adam, or is it Methos?" Buffy watched as pain filtered across his face, before it was gone.
"Where did you hear that name?"
"I have dreams, slayer dreams, when the powers that be want to give me cryptic warnings they send the dreams to me. They said I should learn from Methos and he would take care of me." She looked at him and she saw him nod. "What's your story?" she asked laying back and waiting for him to fill her in.
End Flashback
"England and I wouldn't miss you kicking Methos' ass for all the world!" they both laughed, as they made their way to the plane, Ainnle and Liam following them.
Giles and the Troops
"Excuse me sir, but did a young blonde and two dogs get off here?"
"Yes, they did sir, strangest thing in the world."
"Do you know what happened to her?"
"Yes, a young gentleman picked her up and they were headed to the airport, I think he said they were going to England."
"Thank you." Giles turned and looked at the others, "What should we do?"
"Well, some of us should go after her and some should go back to look over the Hellmouth."
"Excellent," Giles said, "How about, Xander and Cordelia head back, Jenny, Willow and I will head out to England?"
"Alright."
Xander and Cordy headed back to Sunnydale and Jenny, Willow, and Giles headed to the airport.
Later that night in Sunnydale
Cordy was making her way back to her house.
"Hello, Cordy," purred Angelus, "I have been waiting. You know where she went and I want you to tell me."
