Chapter 6
Buffy walked into the lounge which would have taken a long time to find if it wasn't for Miss Abby taking her there. It was an elegant place with a fireplace and chairs of the color green. On one side of the wall, there was a tapestry on one side of the wall. It was a map of some foreign land. The atmosphere seemed cozy.
It took Buffy a while to notice that there were some people there. She saw the markswoman who had a surcoat on that was the color of dark blue. There was the brown hair girl who had a green dress on with the purposely large sleeves. Two women were beside her. One had blond hair. The other had red.
"I see you are awake," a voice said from behind. The scared enough girl whirled around to find a gray hair man who looked like he was in his forties.
"Who are you? Where am I? How can I get back home?" the teen asked the old man. He simply took off his glasses and began to rub them.
"You might want to sit down. This will be a lot to sink through," the man told her. Buffy obeyed sitting down on the dark green chair. It almost ate her.
"First of all, I am Mr. Rupert A. Giles, but you could call me Rupert. I am owner of this castle and friend of this land," Rupert started looking at the new victim of the book. "Secondly, you are in the country of Myth next to the Republic of Washer and the Kingdom of Flesher. You are in the district of Raychild of the four districts and all of this is in the book, The Wonders of Myth, the retired solder told the girl.
It took a while for Buffy to take all of this. What would you expect? She was being told that she was inside a book! How many times does that happen in a century? After a few minutes, a noise started to fill the silent room with eyes staring at the blond teenager. That noise was laughter, and it was coming from Buffy.
"I believe she is taking this very well," the dark hair markswoman stated getting up to get her a glass of water from the pitcher. The other four kept on looking at the laughing girl who was looking at them like they were loony.
"You have got to be kidding," Buffy said clutching her sides. Everyone looked like they were not kidding.
"He i-is not kidding. It is true. You have f-fell v-victim to the book like many others," the blond hair stranger who was sitting next to the young eleven year old girl said.
"Yes, and if we don't act quickly, you could be stuck here forever," Rupert continued. He was going to say more, but at that moment, a knock came from the door.
After Giles said it was ok to enter, a boy her age with blond almost white hair came in. Buffy remembered him as the teen at the barn. She sat gazing at him with his lovely blue eyes. I'm in love. She thought.
"Yes William, what is it?" Rupert asked the soldier in training.
"Xander and the others have come back from the search party. It seems like Angelus' men attacked them," he replied.
Everyone sat up wide eyed and ran out the lounge with the 16 year old soldier in training. Rupert stopped at the door and turned around to see the girl was still there.
"We will talk about this later. We seemed to have met a speed bump," he told her leaving her as he raced towards the wounded.
The only thing that was going through Buffy's mind was when she was getting some answers.
