Buffy had been in Sunnydale for a few weeks patrolling with Faith and patrolling without her. Giles had been right on the mark when he said there was an increase of demon activity. Every night she seemed to stumble across more than the usual amount of demons.
Tonight however was a very different night to the rest of them. She had entered the building having heard someone hitting something not really expecting to see anything. What shesaw of course made her eyes widen and hurry over to the man sitting tied in the chair badly beaten. She was talking to him letting him know he would be ok while she untied him when she felt the presence of another in the room creeping up behind her.
She swung around and grabbed what appeared to be a beautiful human woman but she knew better. She wasn't really expecting it but when the woman hit her, it hurt like hell and she went flying across the room. What proceeded would more be called defending then attacking because she knew right from the get go that she never stood a chance. When she saw the opportunity she grabbed the man much to the woman protesting her to "Get her own monk!" and dived out of the window, taking the brunt of the impact.
She watched satisfied from a distance as the building collapsed before turning towards the rescued monk. Kneeling down she tried to see how badly injured he was when he caught her arm in his hand. He gasped and said "You have to protect him!" Buffy confused replied "Who!" He struggled to breathe and said "The key, we made it human….Sent it to you." Buffy struggled with these words and said "Sent it to me?" He nodded obviously dying and said "The Slytherin Twin. Protect him from the beast, if she gets it he will die". Buffy watched shocked as his last breath escaped him and she backed away slowly.
The process in her mind was quite simple. "Slytherin, Hogwarts, Key, Twin, die, Sent it to me?"
And then she was running.
Author note: This is only a short interlude but kind of vital for you to know. Sorry about the shortness, which would be the reason for the double update. ( oh and you will understand why Dawn is in Slytherin eventually. I do have a plan and this is AU). Thanks for the reviews guys, you all totally rock. (seriously can't say that enough)
