DISTANT EVIL
Rogue-angel82
Stars swam in Buffy's clouded over mind, and the world around her span fiercely as her eyes opened as slits. She slammed them shut immediately, as the desire to vomit almost over came her. Ether that or just faint again. A sudden unnatural and all to familiar piecing scream filled her ears, and Buffy's eyes shot open to the bright sunlight glare. It took only a second for her eyes to focus, before she could make out the figure standing over her. The black-rider screamed again, and struck out. The slayer rolled to the side, narrowly missing the creature's armoured fist as it hit exactly where her head had been.
Moving all her weight to the shoulders, Buffy used her legs and kicked out. Flinging the thing away from her as she flipped to her feet. She kicked it again, sharply before turning to the pick up the sword it had dropped. Another scream and Buffy whipped around, watching as the thing rose menacingly in front of her. It was the first time Buffy had seen the creature in proper light. It was huge compared to her, the long black robes making it look even more so. She gulped, as her eyes widened.
Buffy stood for a moment poised with its sword, before she turned and fled. She wanted to know, as much she could about is thing, so she knew how to fight it. But that meant getting out of this alive. It was only then that she noticed the change in scenery, the docklands where she had been the night before were gone, replaced by a forest of ancient looking trees. Vines, moss, ferns and other forest litter covered the ground causing Buffy the trip every now and then. She cursed under her breath, and redoubled her pace. How long she had run she knew not, but her breath was starting to come short, each gasp like an icepick in her lungs. Slayer though she was, she know she would not last.
Risking a glance over her shoulder, she noticed the thing wasn't in pursuit. Must likely realising that it couldn't catch her without its mount. But not wanting, to risk everything on a guess she continued on ignoring the burning for air that was building in her chest.
It was sometime later that Buffy stumbled to a stop, falling to her hands and knees, gasping for breath. She felt slightly light headed, from the exertion of energy. But she forced it down, and focussed on her surroundings. The faint sound of running water, was the most beautiful sound Buffy had every heard. Her head whipped around in search of the noise. She spotted a small waterfall trickling in to a small river of the clearest looking water Buffy had ever seen. She didn't dwell to long on that thought as she scrambled to the edge.
Remembering not to drink to fast, she took slow, small slips. Occasional dripping her hands and wiped it across the face and over her hair. She sat back, and enjoyed the feeling the cool breeze against her damp skin. After resting for a time, Buffy climbed to her feet sighing. She bent to retrieve the black-riders sword, maybe Willow could use it to look up what-ever-the-hell that thing was at the magic box.
She glanced around amount, before starting up again. She climbed over the dark rocks that surrounded the water, leaping from one to the other as she cross the water. She paused on the other side, and glanced back the way she'd come. She needed to find a phone or even a road, so she could tell where she was. Taking a deep breath she turned and continued on, there didn't appear to be any roads anywhere near.
How long she had been going she didn't know. She had stopped running some time going, and started walking. Deciding that since there didn't seem to be any roads, or building around it would be best to try and keep her energy. When day shifted to night, and the stars came out to play Buffy started to panic. Where had that creature teleported them to? If at all, the black-cloaked thing had been behind the lights display the night before, she thought frowning. Unless I've been abduced by aliens! She added with a smirk.
To be continued...
A/N; Sorry 'bout this I would love to continue really I would but I must ask your opinion. Should I set this at the beginning of the fellowship of the ring, or the two towers? Or at a completely different time. Tell me what you think, and what you think of the story, response would be greatly appreciated.
