Author's Note:
I was getting a little worried. Most of the reviews stop after Chapter 2. It's like they get past that point and it gets really bad and ppl stop reading!. Lol. But I'm a drama queen, so I'm going to see if anybody reads on. :-D
I want to thank Soymaid, Harry2, Entertainer Girl and MadRoswellFan for reviewing!
Willow The Witch
Chapter 5- You Heard Me
Everything was starting to fall into realization to Willow. She was the new Slayer. Now that things were lessening, the rambling going on in her head quieting, she finally realized what was going on. Travers was walking to the door, almost gone. And she had a Watcher? No…this wouldn't do.
"No." Willow spoke defiantly, standing from her chair. Surprising almost everyone, since she had not said barely anything the whole time.
Travers turned around. "Pardon?"
"You heard me…no!" She sounded as she was just getting used to the fact herself. "You can't just walk in her all big and mighty, throw this at me and leave! I want Giles to be my Watcher!" She looked at Beth. "I'm sure you're nice and all, but…I want Giles to be my Watcher." She spoke again, still sounding like she was unsure.
"Willow?" Giles asked.
"You're a Watcher. The Watcher. Our Watcher…The Official Scooby Watcher and all. You've always been. Wesley came and left. But you're still here. If I have to do this…I want Giles to be my Watcher."
"That's not probable Ms. Rosenberg." Travers looked at her, "He no longer works for The Council."
An image of Buffy ran through Willow's mind. She set her jaw, determined now. "I don't care. You will let him be my Watcher, or I quit." She looked at him sternly. "Yeah! Before I start, I'll quit, and don't think I won't…'cuz I will!" She sat down in the chair she had been sitting in before and looked at the elderly man.
Travers seemed to be in deep thought for a moment before speaking. "Fine. Ms. Miller, come with us."
The woman looked like she was about to protest, but stopped and followed. And with that they all left.
Everyone looked at Willow. This was all a little much. Willow. Their Willow…was a Slayer? This couldn't be good. Xander looked at his best friend with pained eyes. Nobody knew how much this hurt him. They had always been in danger. All of them. But being the Slayer…that was a new league of danger in it's own. And he had the feeling she would have to face it all alone. Just like Buffy. And look how that worked out. Xander couldn't take it, he had tears in his eyes as he stood up and grabbed his jacket.
"Xander?" Willow asked, a little afraid of what he was doing.
"I'm sorry, Wil. I can't. Not right now." He gave her a weak smile, tears still in his eyes. "I have to go…I'll see you later." And then he was gone.
