I lunged out again and again none of my blows connecting like the first as I continued to scream. The person pulled me toward him and hugged me holding me tight.
Flash backI walked swiftly down an alley way, stopping as I met a dead end I turned looking upward as I did so "perfect" I said.
He walked casually around the corner and stare at the dead end as he advanced slowly. I waited as he passed beneath me and I acted.
I fell swinging into it flipping as I kicked him hard in the back of the neck sending him flying sprawled on the hard cold ground. He tried to get up and I put my foot at his neck.
"Is there a problem mam?" he asked staring up at me intently, smirking at me.
"Yeah there's a problem…why are you following me?" I replied glaring at him.
"I know what your thinking, don't worry I don't bite." He resorted still staring intently at me, god I wanted to wipe that look off his face! I relented and moved my foot away from his windpipe. The stranger got up slowly.
End flashback I jumped pulling away from his embrace I stared up at him as I slowly backed away. He followed me until sunlight touched his face. He snarled pulling away from the light his face consorting into the savage beast within. The furrowed indents the sharpened teeth as I slowly slid down to the floor in the entranceway. "You're a vampire?" I asked, watching as the charred skin began to smooth over and heal, his face return to the mask all vampires wore.I sat on the hallway floor dripping Coles blood everywhere stunned at what I now knew and realised in a instant that I had to get out of there…
I lunged for the door knowing I should slow down but not being able to. I was panicking, a back seat driver in a roller coaster that threatened to drop me at any moment. I threw the door open and came face to face with my boss Jason. He stared at me hyperventilating in the doorway; blood smeared all over my clothes and I slowly began to return to reality, to understand the consequences of my actions. I realised how I must look to Jason and I didn't like it.
I woke with a jolt, gasping I stared around the white room in shock trying to remember what happened, why I was in hospital. "Phoebe? Phoebe Halliwell?" a voice questioned, I glanced up at a tall man in a white coat who held a clipboard in his hands. When I met his gaze he began to scribble furiously on the board before him.
"What happened?" I croaked after a few minuets of watching the baled man write, he looked down on me
"You don't remember anything?" he replied, gazing at me in concern.
"No" I whispered, "where are my sisters?" I asked looking around
"Its ok" the doctor said "they're just filling out some paperwork" he replied "they will be here soon, how do you feel Phoebe?"
"Fine" I replied
"Im doctor Smith, Jack Smith, you collapsed at your house, you've been out for a few hours".
"Phoebe your awake" a voice said then I was bombarded with two females, my sisters. "Phoebes!" Piper said strangling my in a bear hug while Paige scrambled onto the bed to deliver her own hug. "Finally your awake!" Piper stated. (Doctor Smith left)
"Ok you guys what happened was it a demon?" I asked them. They stared at me with sympathy,
"You don't remember what happened?" both Piper and Paige asked at the same time.
"No I don't did I get nocked out, what happened to Jason!" I asked urgently remembering my encounter at the front door.
"Well…." Piper began
"He sorta saw you and he was confused and he's here now and wants to know if you are all right" Paige stoped for air. Great I thought Jason is here to see me I bet he thinks im crazy and is going to fire me!
"What did he want anyway?" I asked casually
"I wanted to ask you to do an article on someone" Jason replied from the door way
"Well I think this is our que to leave" Piper stated "come Paige lets go talk to Jack Smith about Phoebes release" they hopped off the bed and scuttled out the door past Jason.
I glanced at Jason standing in the door way then looked at the bed. "Im sorry to drag you into this…." I started
"What happened you were standing in the hallway covered in blood? And you were hysterical!" Jason asked. "Look Phoebe if you need time off work just tell me?" Jason added when I said nothing.
"Jason I can't tell you anything it was just a family emergency that's all" I said hoping he would believe it. "Jason…." I repeated after a while, I glanced up to stare at an empty door way. "Just great, that's just great," I muttered under my breath.
I sprung out of bed and glanced in the mirror and saw why Jason might think I need time off work: my hair was mattered with Coles blood (I think it was Coles), and my baby blue halter top and jeans were torn and also bloody.
A glance in the mirror still didn't help me to be prepared when I turned and found the man…vampire standing where Jason had stood minuets before. I jumped gasping when I saw him and almost fell, the vampire moved forward swiftly and caught me in his grasp before I hit the ground. He held me close to him and glanced down into my eyes. "Who are you?" I managed to whisper,
"Angel" the vampire replied hoarsely still gazing into my eyes.
"Buffy" a voice said from the doorway, I glanced over and saw a young girl no more than 16 staring at me.
"Um I can stand on my own" I whispered to Angel and waited while he set me on my feet.
"Hey" I replied to the girl once I was standing unattended, she was pretty with mousy brown hair waist length, a blue strap top, a Minnie skirt and killer boots. The girl rushed forward and enveloped me in a hug and I felt the strangest feeling before…
Flash Back the summers house 2001"Mom im going out " I shouted as I walked down the stairs and into the colourful lounge that had been redecorated several times due to demon fighting and came face to face with Dawn.
"Can you take your sister with you?"
"MOM!" both Dawn and I said together glaring at one an other as we said it.
End Flash BackI was on the floor of my room at the hospital and Dawn, Angel, Piper, Paige and doctor Smith were staring down on me. "You shouldn't be out of bed" doctor Smith said sharply reaching down to help me up.
"Im fine" I resorted, struggling to my feet without his help I lurched back to bed.
The Manor"We need to reincarnate Buffys slayer powers and her memory before the demons come looking for her," Giles demanded to Willow
"Im working on it" Willow replied setting up her props for the spell she was about to preform, the crystals and bones then sat opposite Tara her girlfriend and held out her hands. Grasping them both Tara and Willow began to recite.
"Neither living nor dead, I call on you Lacara,
Sprit of life and memories, I beg of you return to me a lost soul,
Another's memories return to me,
Buffy Summers, I ask you to return to her,
Her memories, her power.
Lacara spirit of life and memories restore to her,
Restore to her…
The hospitalI could hear them, chanting inside my head and then nothing. The feeling of burning flesh and turning blood surrounded me, it hurt, my flesh and my blood were being burnt and turned. Oh god what were they doing-saying that was doing this to me. I felt my breath catch in my chest and the burning increased. I was faintly aware of my companions panicking around my but could not muster the strength to reply to there cries.
The world around me began to fade in and out, replaced with yellowish walls. And then excruciating pain tore through me pulling my limbs, sapping me of any resolved strength as I cried out in horror.
Then nothing….
I woke to a mans voice…"Angel?" I asked, "What happened?" the voice stoped in mid sentence and I tried to open my eyes. The pain was gone replaced with a throbbing sensation,
"Angel is that you?" I repeated finally opening my eyes. It was a doctor who seemed to be surprised at me speaking. "What happened to Jack Smith?" I asked realising he was new.
"Doctor who?" the voiced asked, "Im Doctor Tom Fisher, I don't know a Jack Smith" Tom finished. What was going on I thought
"Where are my sisters?" I asked looking around but I already knew the answer.
"Um Buffy your sister Dawn is dead, she's been dead for 3 years" doctor Fisher said looking at me with concern.
"What?" I whispered, shocked at what I had heard.
"Buffy how do you feel?" Tom asked waving a flashlight in my eyes.
"Fine" I replied in a whisper while I thought wow da'ja'vu here!
"Ill send a nurse in to check on you shortly," Tom said.
"Ok" I croaked. Once he was gone I leaped out of bed and dashed out the door, heading for the front entrance. But this place was different. I had never been here before.
"Mrs Summers where are you going?" a female voice asked me. But I didn't listen to her; I had to get out of here.
Dashing through the long corridors I finally found the front door. Then I was stumbling down the street wearing nothing but the hideous gown worn by patients. People stared at me in alarm but I didn't care I just wanted to know what the hell was going on and where I was.
I saw Spike walking casually down the street and called out to him. He turned at the sound of his name and stared at me in horror as I stumbled toward him.
"Luv what are you doing out here in the cold wearing that?" he asked motioning to my gown.
"Spike…" I began.
"Hang on" Spike cut in "what are you doing up at all?" Spike asked.
"Where am I?" I asked ignoring his last question.
"Your in Sunnydale luv" Spike replied
"Sunnydale" I whispered "I was just in San Francisco" I resorted to myself and then it hit me all the memories and killing. It was like being hit by a bus! I Fell to the gutter in pain grabbing my head as I did so. The memories were not pleasant I couldn't bear them, I felt blood on my hands, draining my of my strength as I lay there in the gutter. My life washing away before me.
