CHAPTER 7 : Mortal annoyance
During that time, in Sunnydale Buffy's friends don't know what to do and the time is passing really slowly, as if it was against them. They don't speak or look at each other much since they came back in Buffy and Dawn's house. Sometimes one begins to speak and another speaks a bit but not for a long time. Than nobody knows what to do or speak about. That's the mortal annoyance.
The most worring thing wasn't that Buffy left without telling her friends but only Spike but to know if she was going to come back. As she once left for a few months when she was called « Anne » they're scared she'd do the same thing again.
Buffy grew up a lot and learnt the sense of responsability after her mother died cause she since had to take care of her little sister.
But we can't anticipate the reaction of a very sad slayer.
Buffy loves Angel so much that her heart is broken when he leaves, like if a part of her was dying. Buffy's not the same girl now. Turning round Spike isn't much a good idea. So now she decided to leave, but where? For how long ? Those are the main questions Buffy's friends are worried about.
Suddenly Willow's cellphone began ringing, she takes it and looks at a number of cellphone she doesn't know. She picks up the phone.
- Allo, says Willow wondering who calls her.
- Allo Willow, it's me Buffy.
Willow is relieved now and her friends can see that on her face.
- Oh Buffy is it really you ? asks Willow to be sure she's not dreaming.
- Yup Willow it's me, listen…
And Xander takes the phone out of Willow's hands…
- Buffy where are you ? Why did you tell Spike and not your friends ? Why did you leave ? Because of Angel ? When are you coming back ? We were really worried…
- Xander, calme down, says Buffy. First I can't tell you how much I'm sorry about this. I shouldn't have left without telling you, I'm really sorry. Could you please give me Willow ?
Xander, a bit upset that Buffy hasn't answered his questions, gives back the cellphone to Willow.
- Where are you Buffy ?
- In Roswell ? answers Buffy.
- But what are you doing in New Mexico ? asks Willow.
- Listen Willow, I took a bus and then I walked several hours and I stopped here. I'm ok, I met people from my age and they're not that normal either. They're aliens but nice ones, not the kind I have to fight with ok. They're really friendly. One of them knows a lot about me cause he knows Giles…
- What ? You say one of them knows Giles ? asks Willow surprised.
Suddenly, after Buffy mentionned the name of Giles, Willow realized none of us told Giles what happened to Buffy, her disappearance…
How is that possible that the gang forgot to tell Giles ?
- Yes, the Sherif Valenti knows Giles and Giles told him about me, some of my missions…
- Ok, says Willow, so everything's going fine?
- Absolutely, well not cause Angel left and I don't know why. I had so many demons to fight those past days I wanted to have a rest. I'm deeply sorry for not telling about this. I didn't think before telling Spike and not my true friends. I'm SORRY.
- I understand, it's normal to turn crazy after all you're gone through. But Buffy when are you coming back ? asks Willow.
- I don't know, answers Buffy.
- But, you… you'll come back huh ?
- Yes I will in a few days I promise.
- Ok, says Willow.
Buffy hangs up the phone and Willow does the same.
The conversation seemed to be long to Willow and in fact it only lasted 2 minutes.
Everyone's looking at Willow to know what Buffy told her.
Willow explained everything and they now are less worried.
