Chapter 13 Ready for change?
"Hello? What's the Shan-something Prophecy?" Buffy asked a bit agitated.
"It is a reward to a Vampire with a Soul." Giles replied sitting down. "Life."
"A Vampire." Giles gives Buffy a nod. "But Angel?"
"I know. That's more of the reason why so much has happened; why there have been more apocalypse's. We have altered time inexplicably."
"There's always another." Buffy said to herself.
"What?" Xander heard what Buffy said.
"Two slayers, two Vampire's with a soul! It's all happening for a reason. There's something stronger and greater that's coming." The gang each looked at each other worried over Buffy's point she brought out.
"Oh, we're not going to have to bring all the Vampires together and in-soul them all now are we?" asked Xander, not taking this all to well. The scoobies stared at Xander over the odd comment. "What? Like you all weren't thinking it." The team just ignored his comment and continued with theirs.
"Wow, if that's true then, who does the prophecy belong too?" Willow asked, taking this all as exciting and yet disturbing all at the same time.
"Woe, hey B. Imagine what the fang gang must be going through, with Spike and Angel, mortal enemies, battling it out to see who owns the prophecy?" Faith began to smile in laughter over the thought of it.
"The fang what?"
"The fang…oh never mind."
"Why haven't you ever mentioned the prophecy to me before?" asked Buffy walking towards Giles.
"I felt there was no need."
"No need?"
"Yes. I learned about this prophecy far before even Angel, never believed in it until I met him. I knew it before I came to meeting you, before I left England…"
"How?"
"A group of us, from the watchers council Buffy--were chosen to meet a great power, who helps us with our information. We lost contact with them slowly through the years, but I have recently heard that they have a new source to go through now. Angel. Well that is until Cordelia was forced into a coma, from a Higher being."
"Cordelia!" The three said in shock!
"That's what happened to her? I knew something was off!" replied Faith, almost spacing off.
"What source? Power?" Buffy asked getting back on subject.
"The PTB. Powers that Be. They have all the information needed."
"Where do I find them?" Giles looked up at Buffy unsure if he should tell her or not. "Look Giles--Spike deserves this Prophecy, and I don't know what's happened to Angel lately but if he's the same as when I last saw him, then he deserves it too, and I'll do what ever is necessary to see them get what they both deserve."
It's been almost a week since Angel called the watchers society and still no one has shown up. Angel refuses to believe an attraction between him and Kate. And he plans to prove it. There's not a day that goes by where Angel doesn't hang out with Kate, them becoming more and more like friends but nothing more. He seems to look at her more as a sister than anything else. Even Lorne admits to be mistaken, but he could of sworn he sensed a Vampire will have a change.
He suddenly becomes confused when he senses the same thing with Spike, and neither will sing or even hum a tune around Lorne anymore, making sure he doesn't sense something again. But Lorne already suspects it, someone or something special is coming, and will help change the team. Maybe it isn't a romantic change, possibly much more, a change towards the look on life, or possibly the change of life itself. Although Lorne finds this to be the most confusing sense he's had, he still believes they are all connected to it; which gives him excitement and fear.
"Hey?" G began to say walking passed Kate. "Anybody want to go out?"
"What do you have in mind?" Kate asked smiling.
"I don't know, something fun." G replied.
"We always have fun." Angel mentioned in a dull tone, with his eyes closed lying on the couch.
"We do the same thing everyday." G was annoyed with this whole routine they seemed to do everyday.
"I don't know about that." Spike said walking out of the office with a book in his hand.
"Think about it. Vision, slay, Lorne's, home, relax, read." G was pointing out. Kate started to chuckle seeing he was dead serious about all of this, and right on. "It's the same thing everyday." G moaned flopping back onto the chair.
"No one is forcing you to stay, G." Angel said annoyed over his complaining.
"How about the movies?" Kate suggested seeing the argument just waiting to start.
"I'm up for that!" G shouted raising his hand. Angel rolled his eyes and got up from the couch.
"You guy's have fun." Angel said walking up stairs.
"Oh no you don't!" Kate ran over blocking Angel on the stairs. "You're going to."
"Kate." Angel began to say. She just crossed her arms and stood her ground.
"Oh come on. Let's go. I need to rest my brain anyway." Spike suggested closing the book. Kate smiled, Angel just rolled his eyes and slightly gave her a smile back walking with her back down stairs. They grabbed their coats and headed out.
"You always have to choose their side." Angel said to Spike.
"Hey, what ever gets on your nerves." Spike said following. "Plus, I'm serious about those books. When's that bloody watcher going to get here?" He asked closing the door.
A slight knocking comes from the back door, and it opens to reveal a young tall handsome man, Golden/brown hair and blue eyes.
"Hello?" asked a Australian accent man. "New Watcher here. Anybody? Angel? Spike? Slayer? Anybody?"
