Chapter 13- Checkmate
Her eyelids were heavy as she awoke from her drugged state. The first thing Buffy Summers saw was an arrangement of food placed on a dining table in front of her. It was standard American food. It appeared that she had woken up in someone's apartment, but whom?
By now she was famished so the food looked all the more appetizing to her. She reached for the fork in front of her but then her hand was immediately yanked backwards by the iron cuff that was secured tightly around her wrist. As Buffy lifted her arm the chain began to tighten, revealing that it was bolted to the floor, as was her other wrist.
All of a sudden a familiar voice pierced through the air behind her. "Well I was wondering when you would wake up, my Sleeping Beauty." Buffy felt a tickle in the back of her throat like she was going to throw up right there. "Lindsey, I should've known," she said. Lindsey walked around to the other side of the table, pulling out a chair and taking a seat. He picked up one of the cheeseburgers which was situated on the table and took a bite.
Buffy rolled her eyes. "Mind telling me why you kidnapped me?" Lindsey put the burger down and grabbed a napkin off of the table, then proceeded to wipe his mouth. "I wanted to arrange a sit down with you, but given recent events I figured this was the best approach. As far as everything else is concerned, well I have a proposition for you," he stated. Buffy raised an eyebrow. "This better be good," she said.
He stood up and walked back around the table. "Wolfram and Hart has the medical technology to save your mother's life." As soon as Buffy heard those words her face lit up, but she kenw there was a but coming. "But...you have to do something in return," he said. She was dreading the next thing that was going to come out of the lawyer's mouth. "And what might that be?" Buffy asked.
"You sign a contract binding yourself to Wolfram and Hart and pretty much be their bitch for the rest of eternity, or you forfeit your slayer abilities and come with me to Vegas and get married tonight."
