The Library, Sunnydale High School
Willow pushed through the doors and found Giles and Xander arguing. Most likely because Xander wants to go off half-cocked and save Buffy and Giles knows that they have to wait and make a plan. Faith was there as well, looking bored, obviously wanting to punch something. She, of course, was looking devastatingly sexy, wearing a pair of black leather trousers and a tight sleeveless black top saying Devil on it on red glitter. Faith stared at Angel, clearly recognising him for who and what he was. She gave a low whistle.
"Its no wonder B fell for the un-dead if they looked like that. Damn!" Willow could have sworn that pink tinge was there again. She turned to the breath-taking vampire,
"Angel, this is the other slayer Faith. Faith as you guessed this is Angel."
"Pleased to meet you." Angel said quite formally as he shook her hand.
"Really the pleasure is all mine." Faith murmured, feeling a pang of jealousy. Why was it that Buffy gets a loving mom, great friends, a good looking fatherly like watcher, a one in a million vampire with a soul that's head over heels in love with her and that he's gorgeous? It wasn't fair! Buffy got everything and she still always whines.
Willow rushed over to Giles who was sitting by the table, cleaning his glasses. " Have you found out anything? Any prophecies or something?" Giles placed his glasses back on and started wandering around the table, looking at the open books that were strewn across it.
"No I'm sorry, there's nothing that indicates something coming up that involves the slayer."
"If you don't find her in a few days at least you'll know she's dead because another slayer will pop up." Cordelia said in her usual tactless way.
"Wow the scoobies without a clue, how novel. What straight away you should've bloody well done is checked the underground for info because there aint anything in those mouldy books that's gonna tell you what's going down in 2 weeks time. It's a complete shock to everyone." Spike said as he sauntered in through the stacks. Spike looked dead sexy (no pun intended). His platinum hair was in his usual slicked back style, his rough cockney English accent seemed quite strong at that moment, he was wearing his tight black jeans (a lot like faith) his usual beaten leather coat that was covering his tight white shirt.
"Now who the hell is this?" Faith asked, nearly wiping drool off her chin. She wanted him; she wanted him bad!
"I'm Spike, or formerly known as William the Bloody but if you call me that I'll rip out your spinal cord through your nose. You might have heard something about me."
"I'm Faith, another slayer. I've heard of you, you have killed 3 slayers right? Why are you helping us?"
"It's a long story but the main gist of it is that my ex girlfriend Dru, bloody loon, left me 'cause I fought against peaches over there, when he was bad that is. " Spike nodded towards Angel. "I would just leave Buffy to die but I want to kill her so I'm helping."
The amount of idle talking was adding to Willow's stress factor. Had everyone forgot that Buffy was missing? "Right, can we get some work done now!" Willow yelled. Everyone stared at her; it wasn't like Willow to yell.
"Right, Willow you go on to the ah…the…thing and search on anything big which in two weeks, that is of course if we can trust Spike. " Giles' fear of computers remained, of course that time when the demon Moloch was scanned into the internet didn't really help his fear. Willow was surprised that Giles actually let Angel in. It must've taken a lot of restraint not to stake him right there.
"I'll go on the underground with Nancy-Boy to check out any info there." Spike said, stalking into the stacks and disappearing with Angel behind him.
"I'll hit the books, " Xander said. Cordy followed him, mumbling something about gross dusty books that ruined her nails.
Oz just nodded at Giles and followed Xander and Cordelia. It was amazing how much he didn't say.
"Um, what should I do?" Giles looked at Faith, for once she actually looked quite unsure of herself, shy almost.
"You catch up with Angel and Spike, I think they'll need someone to stop them from killing each other. Well...mainly to stop Angel from killing Spike."
"Okay, gotcha." Faith ran after the two vamps, it was now peaceful again.
Giles grabbed a few books of prophecies, he was sure one of them had something in it about...wait a minute, what day is it in exactly two weeks? He grabbed the calendar off his desk, pushing away the thoughts of Jenny that always came with the word Calendar, and looked over the dates. There it was. No-one could see his face, but if they did they would know something bad had just been realised. Something real bad. Giles dropped the calendar, his hands shaking slightly. Hurriedly, he took off his glasses and cleaned them, then cleaned them again trying to work out what he should do.
They were all doomed.
