Chapter 16: Screening For Truth
Chapter 16: Screening For Truth
Willow set up a small bowl with water next to the couch, she set up herbs and started a chant.
When she was ready she said. “There’s no danger, except that maybe I won’t see anything, but it’s worth a shot”.
She started a new chant and leaned forward to look into the bowl’s swirling surface.
The images came in rapid succession, merely flashes, gone almost before her eyes could process what the saw.
The first image was the same scene from the dream she had shared with Buffy, the desolate terrain, the depression and the figure laying there.
Willow saw next another figure approaching Spike, or maybe two. She knew what that meant, another torture session.
Buffy’s figure could still be seen by the barrier, crashing into it with increasing violence.
The next image permitted Willow to distinguish who was approaching, there were two people moving forward out of the shadows at the periphery of the depression. She didn’t recognize the second one, the vision too brief, but the first one was Buffy.
The images continued in rapid succession, both figures continued their advance, moving closer to the vampire.
Willow head was hurting, she was concentrating very hard, the flashes had almost the effect of stroboscopic lights, and her eyes were beginning to water, making it even more difficult to follow the action in front of her.
The Buffy within the invisible barrier was next to Spike, holding the other figure’s hand. She talked to Spike, her expression one of contempt.
She turned to the one beside her and Willow finally saw that it was Angel.
The Buffy in the center of the depression pointed to Spike and smiling said something to her companion, who moved forward towards the prostrated figure in the center.
Buffy was smiling evilly and talking to Angel, apparently encouraging him to do something.
All this time Spike had lay without moving, but tears kept falling from his eyes. Buffy turned to him and said something. The vampire smiled at her and turned over to lay on his stomach, closing his eyes.
She then motioned to Angel how stepped closer to Spike and began to undo his trousers. The next image was of the other side of the wall, Buffy hurling herself into it, and next Willow saw Angel violating Spike, the other Buffy standing next to them watching and talking through a sly smile.
The bowl was overturned as Buffy’s limbs started flying around again, her movements even more violent than before. The images stopped as the liquid fell into the carpet, and Willow moved further away to avoid being hit.
Giles and Xander tried to approach the couch, but Willow was in the way.
They helped her up, and Giles went to Buffy’s side, but she was still once more. Willow got out of Xander’s arms and left running towards the bathroom. They could hear her retching.
Xander moved forward but Giles hand on his shoulder stopped him.
“Give her a moment”.
They waited for a while and finally Willow appeared.
She was extremely pale and she went directly to the table.
Sitting and putting her hand in her forehead, elbow over the table.
Giles sat next to her and Xander brought her a glass of water.
“Giles, would you make some tea, I could use some, and aspirin as well. My head is killing me”.
Giles got up and came back after a moment with tea for all and the pills for Willow, who took them gratefully.
“Do you think you can tell us what you saw?”
Willow took several seeps of her tea. “I saw the same landscape as before, Spike was in the same place as was Buffy. The other Buffy, the one on the inside, she brought Angel with her and she had him rape Spike”.
Willows monotone voice didn’t prepared the other for her words, they remained confuse for a second until the meaning became apparent.
“I could only see what was happening, there was no sound, but I think she told Spike what was to happened because she kept talking to him, and she appear to be urging Angel on”. She drank more tea, the men by her side completely stunned by what they were hearing. “It was the same as before, he didn’t defend himself, didn’t say anything by what I could see, he just submitted”.
“Our Buffy was outside and she kept running and crashing into the barrier, I think that’s what caused the seizures. But I think we….”
“Can I have some of that tea?”
All eyes turned to the couch, Buffy was sitting and awake, her face pale and expression of misery on her eyes.
Giles rushed to her side as did Xander. Willow took her cup, still half full, and approaching, handed it to her friend.
Buffy tried to reach for it, but her hands were shaking to much for that. Willow sat next to her and held the cup to Buffy’s lips.
After a small sip, Buffy collapsed onto the back of the couch, too weak to remain upright any longer.
“You saw what was happening? God, I cannot endure this! Tell me there’s something we can do. We got to get him out of there”.
Willow smiled to her friend. “We’ll get him out, Buffy. We already started. We just need one more thing and we’ll be ready”.
“What do you need?”
Xander sat across from the girls and answered with a small smile. “Everything is ready, we are just waiting for a deranged vampiress and we’re good to go”.
Willow set up a small bowl with water next to the couch, she set up herbs and started a chant.
