Chapter fifteen- Watch out for the Watchers
As Buffy closed the familiar book in her hand, she heard the doors of the library open, Buffy was not alone. Buffy quickly grabbed the book and hid it under her jacket. Quietly and quickly she walked around the back of the library to make her way out without being seen. As she crept past the shelves of books she could vaguely see the person. Buffy recognised the lady as one of the Watchers from earlier that day. She watched the lady's movement and she was getting closer and closer to where Buffy was. Buffy took a risk and ran straight for the doors of the library and ran out into the hallway. She looked left, no one in sight and then right no one either. Buffy ran left down the hallway and another Watcher came out of nowhere and tried to catch Buffy. Buffy looked right again and the lady was coming to catch her too. Buffy decided to run in the direction of the lady and she dodged as she ran past and both Watchers collided with each other and fell onto the ground. Buffy turned around as she heard the noise, she saw two angry looking Watchers. She turned back around and started to run, she then bumped into someone. Buffy had bumped into the Watcher who had something against her, Wesley.
Buffy's first instinct was to scream and Wesley tried to cover her mouth and she bit him on the hand and then he screamed in pain. Buffy kept running down the hall and Wesley followed her down the hall, around the corner and out onto the field. When Buffy had reached the field, all the potentials were back out there as well as the Watchers. When Wesley got to the field he had lost sight of Buffy in the crowd of potentials.
Buffy looked around and could not see Giles with the other Watchers. She then looked over towards the tower, no sign of Giles. Buffy then turned to the front to see what everyone else was looking at, Giles being put into police like truck by Mr. Travers. The vehicle started its engine and drove off. Buffy was about to cry but she some how managed to stop herself because she knew the council would be watching her very closely.
Mr. Travers walked up to a microphone set up and started babbling on about how there are always consequences for your actions, both good and bad. If a potential does something they will get a consequence either a good or bad one. If they do something wrong they will definitely get a consequence and because potentials get consequences so do Watchers, especially when they do the wrong thing. For the whole time Mr. Travers was babbling on, Buffy did not hear a word of it, none of what he was saying sunk in, and she wasn't listening at all. Buffy had fallen into shock mode and was dead silent. The minute Buffy had seen Giles being taken away by the Council, all of her hope she had left, had been taken away too. This was the moment she gave into everything, there was no hope left in the girl, Giles had gone and she didn't have the strength to fight the Council to find Faith.
The other potentials around Buffy on the field started commenting to each other about Buffy and the way she was acting. They were rudely staring and Buffy didn't care a bit. Normally she would say something to them but Buffy just didn't care about anything anymore.
Everyone seemed to be moving off to class so Buffy followed people from her year to the classrooms. On the way to class the two Watchers who tried to catch her before stopped her. They got hold of her and took her to a building near by and put her into a room. Inside the room was a bed, a desk, a closet, a bathroom and a fridge. Buffy put her pillow, sleeping bag and suitcase on the bed. Buffy did not fight the two Watchers while she was taken to the room; she just accepted what was happening. As Buffy was unpacking she noticed something on the desk. She walked over to it and it was an envelope. On the envelope was written Buffy's name. She opened it up and there was a piece of paper inside, a letter. It read:
Dear Buffy,
The members of the Watchers Council have become concerned of your behaviour at our camps and outside of camp. We have set up this specific room for you. You will learn to control your behaviour, become more sensible, mature, nice and more of an individual. You will follow our instructions and complete your tasks and will then be released from our individual plan a better potential. You will then treat us all with the respect we should get and you will join the other potentials to learn how to fight in combat.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Q. Travers
Buffy walked over to the bed and started to unpack her suitcase and placed things on her desk and things in her closet. Buffy then noticed there was a book on her bed, it was her task booklet. There were little activities Buffy had to do in her book which every night the Council would collect to see if Buffy was completing the requirements for the individual plan.
Buffy had just given in, there was no way she could escape the orders of the Council now. If she didn't obey the Council would find a way to punish Buffy. The Council had once before threatened to adopt Buffy so that remained a possible punishment in Buffy's mind.
She had given in. It was just the beginning of the fight between Buffy and the Council and who was in the lead? The evil Watchers Council. This didn't look good for our little potential, Buffy.
The Council was winning and everyone was grinning except for Giles who had been taken back to his home in Los Angeles. The Council had made sure Giles would not be coming or making his way back to the camp.
Buffy looked out her small window and could see potentials training outside with some Watchers. Buffy wished she was outside and started to daydream about being outside with them and was falling asleep on the bed.
The members of the Council gathered in the common room. Wesley was at the head of the table and the lady from earlier walked into the room with a big smile on her face. Wesley welcomed Gwendolyn Post to the meeting and told her to take a seat next to Travers.
"I have some important news for you Wesley. You will be very happy by what you hear. Everything is under perfect control. She doesn't know a thing; she thinks it's the real place. She's so far adapted well to your plan. As soon as you know it, Faith will be just like the others," said Post.
"And what about that other troublemaker?"
"Ah... you mean Buffy. She is settling in just fine. She has fallen asleep and has not tried to escape. I think your plan is going to work just fine on these two young potentials," answered Post.
Wesley replied with a loud, "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
