Kidnapped!: Chapter 5: The Great Beast
Buffy POV
The next day Buffy mulled over the events of the night before. She thought of Spike, thinking about everything and anything he had said or done since they had met only a few nights before. Suddenly the phone shrieked at her from the kitchen, signaling a call. She got up off the couch and strode quickly to answer it, wondering who it could be. She picked the receiver out of its cradle, "Hello?"
"Buffy?" Giles's voice rang over the phone.
"Giles, what's up?" Buffy asked.
"I was going through my books, checking prophecies and seeing which ones were already thwarted, when I came across something. It seems that in a few days the moon becomes blue and there is supposed to be three comets going by that night which, if you actually studied the Slayer history you would know and wouldn't need me to look up, is a sign of the coming of the great beast," Giles informed her, sounding like his usual textbook self.
"Great beast? What kind of great beast?" Buffy questioned.
"Some sort of dragon. Its scales are very hard to break through and it breathes fire, so it pretty much is a dragon, a very large dragon," Giles explained.
"How do I find it and/or kill it?" Buffy asked methodically.
"That's the problem," Giles stated.
"So, hard scales, fire breathing, and very large are the least of our worries?" Buffy jokingly asked.
"Actually, yes, you see it has a guise of a human whenever it wishes, so it's harder to find and track down. As for the killing, I would suggest you put a sword through its heart," Giles said, explaining the seriousness of the situation.
"I have just one question: why did they need to kidnap me, besides the fact that I wouldn't be able to thwart their plan?" Buffy sounded confused.
"To bring forth the creature they need the blood of the Slayer to perform a ritual to bring the beast out of the Hellmouth. If they don't have Slayer blood it won't activate the seal to release the dragon," Giles explained.
"So, in other words, don't go anywhere near the mansion till this whole thing blows over?" Buffy asked.
"That would probably be for the best," Giles remarked.
Buffy said a few final words with her Watcher before hanging up. Well, this outta be fun. A dragon the size of the Great Sphinx is coming to Sunnydale in less than a few days. Oh joy, the fun never ends.
