Chapter Five
As Giles entered the room he looked at Buffy after making sure that she was okay for now, he glanced around the room and asked, "what happened " Willow looked at him and sighed "it seems that Buffy found her diary." As she said this Giles turned his head and gave her a very stern look, she hurried on before he could say anything " That I might add she never told me she had or I would have told you when you asked." He looked at her and nodded his head. "I think tomorrow morning we should take Buffy to be checked out at the hospital just to be sure" said Giles.
As he was saying this I was wondering how he had arrived so quickly after Buffy went in to shock then that little gruff voice said " that's a real interesting point why don't you ask him." As Giles and Willow were putting a blanket on Buffy I looked at him " Giles " he glanced up "I was wondering how you knew Buffy was in trouble." He looked a little sheepish and glanced at Buffy then looked up with a slight smile on his face and said " I cast a couple of extra spells on Buffy after Willow and Tara left to look for you. " Willow just looked at Giles but Tara looked over at Willow and grinned "Pay up" Willow looked at Tara then shot a disgusted look at Giles she then took a bracelet of her wrist and handed it to Tara. Who smiled sweetly "told you so" As Giles was watching Willow and Tara he suddenly looked up, "Xander" when I looked at him he continued. "I was expecting Willow or Tara to comment on how fast I arrived," he paused "but I wasn't expecting you to notice as you should have had other things on your mind." As he said this both Willow and Tara both looked at each other then as one they both looked at me. As I was wondering what to say that little voice in the back of my mind started whistling "will you stop that I'm trying to think "
"Sure kid I wouldn't mind hearing how your gonna get out of this one myself, with out them thinking your nuts"
"Thanks" I replied dryly
"Um Xander who are you talking to?" As I was about to speak that voice started laughing "so what you gonna tell them" as I was wondering the same thing myself I told him to shut up and looked at Giles "Pardon" as I looked at him with a vaguely puzzled expression on my face.
For a moment it seemed to work and I was starting to relax when Willow looked at me "I know your hiding something Xander, you might as well tell us" they all stood around waiting for a few minuets "Xander don't make me bring out resolved face"
I looked at Willow "just promise not to say anything until I'm finished explaining, Okay" as I was saying this I glanced around at everyone and they all nodded there heads so I walked over and sat on the table.
"Okay now this is so going to make me sound like a crazy person, but for about five weeks I have been hearing a voice in my head" I paused to gauge their reactions Willow and Tara looked concerned and Giles looked like he thought I was joking. "Um Xand, what does this voice sound like" I just looked at her and she continued " I mean does it sound like your voice or is it different" I looked at her and she seemed more interested than worried. "Well it does kind of sound like me but sort of sounds more gruff and older" As I was watching everyone Giles looked like he was about to say something but thought better of it. "Well they took that better than I expected you did good kid" as I was about to rely Willow looked at me "Xander what does this voice say when it talks to you" she paused suddenly looking worried "it doesn't tell you to kill evil politicians " I just stood there and looked at her for a couple of seconds "No will, it doesn't tell me to kill evil politicians it mostly give me advise and annoys the hell out of me" Willow looked a little embarrassed and Giles was looking at her with an amused expression on his face.
"Um Willow Honey" she looked at Tara "have you been drinking coffee again?
Willow went bright red and stuttered " Coffee, I no coffee bad, bad coffee, coffee makes me nervous and Jittery and I don't drink it " Tara just looked at me and I smiled and walked over to Willow
"Willow" she looked at me "deep breath" she just nodded her head.
I was kind of hopping that with all the other stuff going on that they had forgotten all about the little voice and to tell the truth I was a little relived "Guess what kid, Giles may have been diverted for a moment but he is watching you again" I looked over at Giles and saw him watching me. Just as I was about to say something he spoke " Xander, how long has that voice been present and was this the first time it has appeared " as he spoke Willow and Tara both looked over at me and I could see the shocked and embarrassed expressions on there faces, I just shrugged "I first noticed the voice appearing just after the solider boy Incident at Halloween, it usually appears when I am either stressed or panicking, but up in till now the longest it has stayed was three hours, it seemed to find the whole Love spell fiasco very funny even if it was not much help until I was attacked by an axe" at that remark Willow blushed and started to say something "chill will, I was not trying to bring up bad memories but Giles wanted to know when the voice had popped up. It also has access to all my memories and has helped me deal with certain other things that have happened to me over the last few years" Giles looked at me "what type of things" I looked over at Giles and said "things to do with Kill me, stuff me and mount me," Giles looked confused for a moment and then smiled "Ah yes, quite the less said about that the better" I smiled and nodded my head "the voice has mostly been around when ever I am in trouble, coaching me and telling me what to do to escape and evade capture by the various nocturnal nasties that inhabit Sunnydale" as I finished speaking Giles was sitting on a chair nodding to himself and looking at me. After a moment he looked at me and "I don't think there is anything to worry about, from what you said the voice only pops up when your stressed, worried or panicking, I think the voice is just you minds way of helping you out by utilizing you Halloween memories and other such things that you have come in to contact with. The voice just puts your options out in front of you and helps you chose the right one" Willow just looked at Giles "so he is not Nuts then" I looked at Willow "Gee thanks will" Giles and Tara both seemed amused by what she had said "no Willow Xander is not nuts" he paused "although that would explain a couple of your decisions" I glanced at Giles who was trying to hide a large grin and failing miserably" I smiled and him thanks for the vote of confidence G-man" his smile vanished and a look of resignation flashed across his face " I suppose in deserved that one but how many times do I have to ask you not to call me that infernal man" I just smiled at him "I don't know G-man I could always come up with a new nick man like Ruppy or Tweed-man" as I said this Giles shook his head and scowled at me. As I was about to launch another verbal volley Willow looked at me "as much fun as it is to watch you to verbally bash each other what are you going to do about Buffy" as she said that I started to think about what has happened in the last few hours, she must have noticed something happening as her and Tara both walked over to me and hugged me "don't worry Xander we will help you work something out" As she said this a voice from across the room said "shouldn't I be in on any decision regarding that subject."
Sorry about the delay on getting this chapter out I have had various commitments placed on my time and have been unable to devote as much time and effort to this project as I would have liked. Once again any feed back would be appreciated and I will try and get the next chapter out quicker than this one.
