Title: Prophecy Girl 38/100 TtH Prompt: #4 Prophecy Summary: Buffy receives news from Willow. Prophecy Girl Five people looked up as Sergeant Walter Harriman entered the briefing room. “What is it, Sergeant?” Landry asked. “Urgent call for Miss Summers from a Willow Rosenberg. She said, and I quote, ‘It’s about the fish murderer and prophecy girl’,” Walter replied. Buffy stood up. “I have to take this call somewhere private.” She looked at Landry and asked, “May I?” “Go ahead,” he said with a clipped nod. Buffy went into his office and shut the door while Walter left to transfer the call. “What was that about?” Cameron asked. “We’re in the middle of a briefing.” “Part of her contract,” Landry said. “She has the right to leave for other matters that take precedence.” “Oh, the slaying,” Vala said in understanding. “The what?” Landry asked. Cameron looked at him in confusion. “You mean you don’t know who she really is?” “No, it’s been classified and buried. I figured if it was important enough to know, she’d tell me,” Landry said. Buffy walked back into the room, her face pale and her eyes wide with worry. “I have to go, General. Now.” “Very well. SG-1, your mission is scrubbed and you are officially on downtime until Miss Summers’ return,” Landry said. “Thanks,” she said, and she rushed out the door. Daniel jumped out of his chair and raced after her. “Buffy! Wait!” “No time, Daniel,” she said, getting into the elevator. “It’s about Angelus, isn’t it?” He asked, sliding in before the doors shut behind him. They were alone. Buffy sighed. “Willow found a prophecy. I won’t bore you with the details, but it’s happening tonight. I have to stop him.” “Stop him from what?” “Creating another hellmouth.” The doors opened to the eleventh floor and they both stepped off the elevator. They quickly signed out and got on the elevator that would take them to the surface. “A what?” He asked, once they were alone again. “A hellmouth. Mystical convergence thing. Sunnydale was on top of one until I permanently closed it six months ago,” she said hastily. “That was you?” He asked in surprise. She smiled grimly. “My destruction count keeps getting higher. First a school gym, then a school, and finally an entire town. But trust me, hellmouths are bad.” The doors opened again, and the repeated the process from the eleventh floor. Daniel followed her through the parking lot to her car. “What does this prophecy say?” He asked. “That the favorite childe will create a doorway with the blood of his beloved and her new,” she said unlocking the door. “You’re his beloved,” he said in dread. “Yes.” “What did that last part mean?” “I’m not sure, but I have an idea.” “But you can’t go! It’s a trap!” He protested. “I have to. It’s all part of the slayer package,” she said sadly. “Well, you’re not going alone,” Daniel said, getting in on the other side. “But…” “No, you shouldn’t have to do this alone,” he said firmly. “I was just going to ask about your link with Vala.” “It’s not life-threatening anymore,” he admitted, not looking at her. “Then why are you still staying on the bas…Oh, never mind,” she said, smirking at him. “Will you just drive? We have a prophecy to stop,” he muttered, slouching slightly in his seat and refusing to look at her. Previous Chapter Buffygate Menu Next Chapter |
