The Prophecy
"Okay I may not be blond but come again? A prophecy?" Xander's jaw dropped at least three inches making him look like a daft puppy dog drooling in his sleep. Giles gave him a somewhat pissed off look and shoved the book right under his nose to find a beautiful sketch of Buffy and Angel intertwined together.
"Oh, right that it explains it, another, Buffy and Angel crisis hogging all the prophecies!" Xander said sarcastically.
"Xander!" Simultaneously Giles and Willow shouted out their frustration!
"The prophecy usually surrounds Buffy and those who surround her. This one may be the answer to why the slayer was plagued with cancer, Sickness are very uncommon amongst Slayers due to the powers that be that need them to stick around to save our asses!" Giles pounded his fist firmly on a near by table.
" The powers that be, slayer, prophecy? Giles please tell me you've been mixing medications!" Xander still was staring at him in disbelief.
"Willow can you take this to the computer and have it translated by the time I get back?" Waiting for a reply from Willow, she snapped out of daydreaming and gave him a reassuring nod of the head. "Good, I am going to check out the morha lair in the basement, see if we can handle it alone, Willow, I am counting on you!" Giles left Willow and Xander staring at the swinging door of the library.
"Eep!" Was the only sound that escaped Willows mouth well a shocked Xander dropped the book in his hands.
Meanwhile Giles, shaking rapidly partly out of fear and out of anger for the plague that was cursed upon his daughter-like slayer. Punching through the sharp glass of a case that held a burning red axe, Giles's hand wrapped around the shaft of the instrument and pulled it out holding it up to the boiler room door. In fear of making too much noise Giles lowered the axe and chose to take a "surprise attack" instead of him barging in on them and getting himself killed/ Yet it still wasn't enough he needed, he needed..
Suddenly a young woman came hurtling through the window of the high school, her hands wrapped around her head to protect her from unwanted scars. Giles was taken aback when the girl lifted her head and started to show great agility. The brunette rushed over to Giles grabbing the axe from his hands and straightening his glasses.
"Hey G-man! The names Faith, and I am your new slayer!"
In the library Willow and Xander were clueless as to what was happening. The Gaelic in which the prophecy was written in was taking a very long time to translate and if she had been more experienced it would have taken less time however she didn't know much about the language this being her first time translating anything more than French.
"Will?" Xander looked desperately into his best friend's eyes.
"Yeah?" Willow didn't quite understand Xander's sudden seriousness, because he was never that serious.
"What if we aren't in time? We will loose Buffy and the world will loose their protector!" Xander was starting to accept the truth behind Buffy's excuses to miss class ectra.
"Our first priority is our best friend, the slayer comes second. Buffy finally needs the world instead of it needing her, and it's time to pay her back for her sacrifices." Willow said this with such confidence that it inspired Xander beyond belief. He had never seen her so strong headed. It was turining him on. Wait bad Xander, not the time for that.
"Ooh!! Xander get over her! It's down the prophecy it's translated!" Willow's eyes lit up wildly.
Giles was still confused as to who was this young lady who claimed she was the slayer.
"You..you can't be the slayer into every generation there is born one slayer. There are no records of two?" Everything that he had learnt from the handbook wasn't adding up.
"Well I am the replacement for the other slayer, you know G-man I think we will get along quite well!" Faith smiled seductively.
"NO, it c an't possibly be, that would mean that Buffy, she has to die?" Was she dead already? Had he failed her?
"Stop with the questions G-man, I am not going to let my sister slayer die on us, that's why I am here I am going to help you get those big nasties juices so she can heal and fulfill her "destiny"." Faith's grammar was quite appling to Giles but she was his only shot.
" So you know about the prophecy?" He asked.
" I know about it but I don't know what's its about! Hey G-man let's go before they get hungry!" Faith kicked down the door and led him to the boiler room. She was a good leader but not quite like Buffy, Faith was more about the kill, Buffy strategized, Buffy was Buffy, loved by all. Faith was a good slayer but she wasn't a Buffy. As soon as Giles opened the door, he saw at least 3 Morhas and a pit of dead bodies.
"Well I solved the crime of the disappearing students!" He said in disgust tot he smell of death and blood. "Take a quiet approach Faith they are very strong demons."
"Right!" Faith headed through the vent on the ceiling leaving Giles to advise her. Trhe vents were small and trapping causing Faith the cough slightly. The demons heads lifted at the sound and Giles's heart stopped for at least 3 seconds. However she hadn't been caught. A wave of relief went over both of them. Faith caught sight of a small hole in the vent and pocked out her the arrow from her crossbow. Giles' did the same with his. The trick was that Giles and her would have to shoot at the same time in order to not alarm the others. Faith would have to quickly shoot the third demon so he wasn't alarmed.
"1,2,3" Giles whispered and the arrows shot out of the ends of their crossbows. All three went down in a swift action but Faith knew they wouldn't be down for long so she shot another five arrows into each of them. All that could be heard were groans of pain from the demons and slight disgust from Giles. Faith whipped out her knife and slashed the neck of one of the demons and poured it into a little scientific vial. (test tube) Giles looked at her with admiration but was interrupted when one of the demons started to stand up. Faith and Giles took a dash for it, running for the door.
"What are we going to do? If they stay alive they will continue to eat the students."
"No prob. G-man, its all covered!" She chucked a grenade from her pocket down the stairs. "Never mess with a boot camp girl!" She looked at the explosion with satisfaction. Giles was still bewildered as of what had just taken place.
"Thabk-you iss Faith, your service was very helpful" he curtly bowed his head and walked towards the library.
"Hey G-man! I am still a slayer and you're my watcher, let me tag on please?" Faith was a bit desperate to have a place to belong.
"Ah sure why not, Buffy needs all the strength she can get!" Faith handed him the vial containing the blood. As they entered the library, Xander and Willow were in the corner of the rooms with their heads down. It looked like they had been crying a bit. Some out of happiness the rest out of despair. Giles looked over at them shocked and confused. Willow raised her tear stricken face and gestured towards the computer.
Giles looked at it and saw that the prophecy was complete. HE turned towards Willow and she nodded for him to continue. He read it out loud;
Before the one is called her Angel will leave her only
to return on her sixteenth birthday where the one and
the angel will be reunited to only be ripped apart again
by a strong and powerful demon.
The one will be cursed with this demon but will hide it
from the Angel. The one will slip in and out of middle
earth and heaven. The ones friends will call the Angel
and the Angel will be at her side once again. The ones
guardian will try and find a healing elixir of blood and
will find it with the help of the Second. The second was
only meant to exist for the purpose of the one.
Before the elixir is brought to the one, her Angel will
have made love to her as her dying wish. After she is
healed she will give birth to a powerful child. The
angel and the one will be wed at the tender age of 18
and twenty. Even though the one's life is spared she
will be taken away from the world before the child
reaches the age of four on the fifth day of the fifth
month.
The Angel will be devastated and will be forced to care
for the child. The child will be forced to offer herself
to the world on the night of her sixteenth birthday. We
will all be spared but the child will not be. Th one and
the child will be reunited leaving the Angel alone.
The Angel will soon join them in paradise where the
three souls will be together forever but her presence
will be missed by everyone damaging the lives of the
guardian and mother. The second will become the one and
the world will once again be at peace. If the cycle is
disrupted the earth will crumble to pieces.
Giles looked up from the computer. His eyes were wet from tears and confusion. The story he had read was similar to what had happened to Buffy and what was to come of her. She would heal, to only die again, but it couldn't be possible that she would bare a child, her and angel would never do anything as foolish has that before she were to die. It wasn't possible something must have gone wrong in the translating. Or could it have all been true?
"Is this true G-man?" Faith looked up at him knowing she was the second and would become the one in the near future.
"The prophecies never lie." Giles said this flatly staring into the back ink of the computer, " Prophecies never lie."
"Okay I may not be blond but come again? A prophecy?" Xander's jaw dropped at least three inches making him look like a daft puppy dog drooling in his sleep. Giles gave him a somewhat pissed off look and shoved the book right under his nose to find a beautiful sketch of Buffy and Angel intertwined together.
