Pairing: FFA #193 Amy/Prue Halliwell
Amy groaned as she trudged through the snow to the cabin. She'd hightailed it out of Sunnydale after doing the guilt spell on Willow. If she'd stayed around - well, Buffy and Willow may not have been so forgiving this time around.
Her father had had this cabin for nearly three years, he'd bought it conveniently after her disappearance. It was nearly two in the morning, and the dull violet sky shone off the snow. Fog coiled around her ankles as she numbly made her way to the cabin.
"You know, running away never solves anything." A voice rang out from behind her. Amy spun around to face a tall brunette woman.
"Where the hell did you come from?" She demanded.
"That's a tough one to answer. Mind if I come in? It's really cold out here, and I just wasn't expecting that."
"Who are you?"
"Prue Halliwell. Can we go in now, or would you rather play another round of twenty questions?"
"What are you?" Amy demanded, backing up slowly.
"Well, I'm a whitelighter, or at least I will be someday very soon."
"So you're a W.I.T.?"
"Basically. Look, you're not safe out here." Prue looked around them several times.
"Why not?"
"Because your demon of a mother escaped the cheerleading statue and in turn resurrected the spirit of Santa Claus." Prue backed her toward the cabin.
"And Santa's spirit is a bad thing?"
"It is when he's a demon."
