A/N Hey Guys thanks so much for the reviews. I am glad you are still
enjoying my story. In this chapter you finally get to find out about the
prophecy and why The First Evil is here. Spikealicious thanks for being a
wonderful beta.
"The Immortal Slayer! I have waited here for you a long time," an old man said.
"Well, here I am," Buffy replied.
"And you must be the extraordinary vampire who sought out a soul. I am honored to meet both of you," the man said sincerely, and bowed before them.
"Look mate, we really don't have time for chit chat. So just tell us what we need to know," Spike said.
"Where are we?" Buffy asked.
"You are in a place that exists beyond time and space. Here I see all that happens before it takes place. I am The Guardian of the Slayer Line. Eons ago, The Powers that Be, created the world. Good and Evil has always existed. There were demons and humans. The vampire hybrid was created when demons and humans mixed. Explaining why vampires have human-like traits. So that the vampires wouldn't over take the world, the slayer was born. The Chosen One, with the demon mixed in her blood to give her the power to fight and kill them. So a lineage was born; when one died, another was born."
"I have demon mixed in my blood?" Buffy asked in disbelief. This explained so much. No wonder she was always fighting the darkness inside.
"I knew the slayer must be part demon somehow," Spike said.
"The demon blood is your power source. Good and Evil are always battling but a certain balance has to be maintained. The balance has been shifted so much, that The First no longer has to be dormant, following the rules."
"Is this because I was brought back?" Buffy asked solemnly. Spike took her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
"No, the balance began to shift even before then. The Key is what began it. It was never supposed to exist, after Glory was defeated," the man said.
"Dawn. Are you saying she was supposed to die?" Buffy asked with wide eyes.
"Precisely! The door for The First began to open then.
"Then, magic was used to bring you back from the dead. Somehow, two vampires were able to have a child? Finally a vampire sought out a soul. All of these things shifted the balance allowing The First Evil to wake up and try to destroy the slayer line and eventually overtake the world with vampires."
"The prophecy though? What about it?" Buffy asked.
"Everything that happens is meant to. The Powers knew that this time would come, and that you would be given a chance to defeat the ultimate evil. That is your destiny. Together you will have the power needed by connecting through a blood ritual. You, the vampire, the Key, and the miracle child's blood mixed, shall then be spread over the center of the hellmouth."
"Of course, it's always about blood," Spike said, understanding how everything worked.
"You said that this is our only chance? So, if we don't do this soon, then The First will succeed?" Buffy asked, looking at Spike.
"That is correct. Time is running out, you must go," the man said, and then he gave them the spell they would need for the ritual.
"How do we get home?" she asked.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Cordy stood, unknowingly waiting for her master to appear.
Suddenly The First was there, in the guise of Faith, and Cordy again went into the trance.
"Cordelia, I need you to disappear and go after Angelus. We need a distraction for the slayer to worry about. I am running out of time," The First explained.
"Yes, Master."
The First then disappeared.
Connor couldn't believe his eyes, "Cordy is working for The First!" he thought in shock.
He walked into the kitchen
"Hey, are they back yet?" Cordy asked.
"I don't know," Connor said, with a wary look.
"Well, I think we have wasted enough time. We need find Angelus," Cordy said with confidence.
"Cordelia," The First said, inside her head, " take Connor with you."
"So are you coming with me?" Cordy asked.
"No, I think we should go and wait for Spike and Buffy to get back. Dad will come here on his own," Connor said, pulling Cordy with him. He didn't listen to her protests.
At that moment Buffy and Spike appeared in the living room.
"So how did it go?" Dawn asked anxiously.
"Well, I think everybody should sit down," Buffy said, looking at the group.
"Hey Guys," Willow said, walking in the house with Faith behind her.
Everybody just stared at them.
"Hey B, I brought Red back," Faith said smiling.
"We think she still has her soul," Willow exclaimed.
"What are you doing here?" Faith asked, looking at Spike.
"Look, we can explain all that if you sit down," Buffy said.
"Yes Buffy, do explain!" The First said, in the guise of Wood, "tell them how you killed me!"
A/N So that is how I would have explained the slayers lineage and solution to defeating The First. Review and let me know if you think it made sense. So I will know if anyone is confused.
Thanks
