You Have Potential

A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Fan Fiction Story

Chapter 19:

After my shower to clear my head, I walked downstairs with my robe on and still drying my hair with my small white towel. I noticed everyone was gathered around Willow. I figured she had found out more about this Vampire, and I was relived to be around them. Except when I had walked into the room, all eyes seemed to turn to me, and then I froze instantly.

" Why do I have the feeling that I just walked in during a very awkward moment." I felt nervous looking around the room. No one would say anything. " Guys what is going on?" I looked around the room again. I looked to Giles.

" Giles?" I watched him take off his glasses and start to clean them. " Willow?" I looked over at her as she looked over at Buffy. " Some one tell me!" I shouted. Buffy looked up at me, and Xander put his hand on my shoulder. Why did I get the feeling that I wasn't going to like what I was about to hear?

" It's about Lilith!"

" The young vampire from The Bronze?" I asked. Buffy just nodded.

" She isn't like any other vampire." I raised my eyebrows in shock.

" What do you mean?"

" Well, do you remember those uber strong vampires that came out of the seal, the ones working with The First?" I nodded, holding my breath remembering how strong they actually were. They were nearly impossible to kill. " She was created by them, like way before any thing else ever existed. This was pre- B.C time. She was a human, but never reached maturity, which is why she only appears in the form of a child. She had a bigger purpose than your average vampire these days. She was given great strength, as well as other abilities that are unknown. She very rarely presents herself unless she feels threatened, or has her orders from a higher demonic power. Legends say that she works in the pits of Hell, torturing souls, and finding new innocent souls to torture. She has had only a few kills, but there are things far worse than death and she found out what that is for every individual soul that she tortures." Buffy looked to Spike and then hesitated saying what I could tell she wanted to.

" Buffy… is there some thing else you want to tell me?" I looked right at Spike and I knew that he knew. " Spike!"

" I'm sorry Love, but Lilith was rumored to be the first one with Seer abilities, and we think that is why she was drawn to you." I sat down, and felt like the room was spinning. " That is why we think she let you go with out torturing you. We think she had a bigger plan for being here, but we don't know yet." this was a lot to handle at once, no wonder no one wanted to tell me.

" So.." I looked up at everyone still staring at me with sympathetic eyes. " Does this mean I'm turning into a demon?" I tried so hard to suppress the tears I felt coming on. I had to be strong slayers were tough they didn't cry. Spike walked over to me sitting on the ground, and put his hands on my shoulders.

" Listen to me, you are not turning into a demon. You have a gift, and that under no circumstances makes you evil. I know evil believe me ,and you are far from it!" I smiled and tried to laugh. " Seeing into the future and the past is an ability, that can go light or dark. I can see your soul love and it is brighter than the sun" I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I stood up slowly and walked back upstairs to get changed with out saying a word to any one. No one tried to stop me or ask me.

" Why did you tell her? We could have worked around her not knowing. But I guess Big bad would rather terrify her!" Xander asked

" Well, its not like I had a choice once she saw I my eyes that I knew." Xander stared blankly at him. " She wished me to tell he everything I knew, you daft idiot! And another thing Xander I don't like lying to her. Maybe you do ,but I don't!" Spike needed to rest so he needed to get out of the room.

Willow decided to tell everyone, that the connection would soon be broken from myself and Spike, so that they may feel a little at ease.

" Uh, guys!" She spoke up afraid of what everyone might think, but she couldn't keep this secret any more. " I think there is something I should tell you, about. Willow went on to explain to everyone that her and Cordelia were going to perform a powerful mind transmogrification spell to rid Spike and myself of our connection. However not everyone was as relieved and thrilled about this plan as Willow had thought they would be.

Everyone was so quiet once again that you could hear her nerves rattling around inside of her.

" Dear lord woman are you in sane?" Giles rubbed his temples and had that look of disappointment in his eyes.

" What?" she asked

" You are messing with some thing you don't understand? How could you be this stupid to mess with the magic's this way again?" He was talking like she would turn into evil ,veiny, dark haired world ending Willow again.

" Giles, its not like that, not any more. I have learned how t embrace my spiritual and elemental side with the magic's, and I'll have Cordelia's help, So not all of the strain will be on me!"

" Do you have any idea what you are risking? Does Alexis? Does Spike?" He stared to pace and get louder.

" Alexis isn't aware of what could happen, but she does know that it is risky and dangerous! Spike knows, and Cordelia wouldn't do it with me if she didn't know that we could do it!"

" There is a 30% chance that something could go wrong, and your not just risking Alexis, and god help me for saying this Spike's life as well!" He looked ot be finished, he turned away from her ,but then turned back around quickly removing his glasses and sighed. " Not to mention Cordelia is a Seer, with far more advanced power than Alexis, and your bringing her into the think of this all with Lilith out there!" He took a deep breath and they just stared at each other for several minutes before it was Willows turn to speak again.

" Giles, I am sorry that you still don't trust me, even after all of this time, but I know what I am capable of , and I am still doing this, because we sure as hell cant defeat Lilith having Alexis and Spike still connected like this. It will slow us down, and She will figure it out sooner than later and find some way to use it against us!" She had enough, and she too stormed out of the house, on her way to Reyna's to blow off steam.

Buffy looked at Giles with her arms crossed, and shook her head.

" We will fight this, we will let Willow and Cordelia do the Spell, and we will work together from here on out! We don't have time for petty discrepancies, and personal vendetta's we have a mission, and it isn't going to be easy! Willow was right Spike and Alexis will be more use when they aren't hindered by what ever spell is forcing their free will away." they glared at each other until he nodded to her, and she too exited to room.

Soon just him and Xander stay in the room.

" And then there were two…" Xander joked hoping to lighten his mood, but he just rolled his eyes and walked next door to his place. Xander leaned back against the couch as he sat down and sighed. " Well this is going to be fun!"
