Saving the Future

Prologue

She was running with everything that she had, trying to out run the destruction that was becoming Sunnydale, but, even being the slayer, she wasn't fast enough. The building under her collapsed and she felt herself falling, falling, but to her amazement, she was no longer within a collapsing building.

Buffy hit a slightly damp cobbled street. When just moments before it had been day, she was now looking up at the stars that made her realize that it was now night. And she wasn't alone.

Buffy looked down the alley and saw the face of a very familiar vampire, Darla. 'That's impossible, she's dead!' She thought. 'Well, apparently, dead wasn't what it used to be, she having been dead herself before being brought back from the dead by Willow.

Without having to think about it twice, Buffy gripped the scythe that seemed a part of her, and Darla poofed into oblivion as Buffy decapitated her. And then she saw the face of the unconscious man who Darla had been feeding upon: Angel.
