William returned home. He went upstairs and checked on Dawn then went downstairs to the basement. Rupert had long ago remodeled it into a training room. Before they knew about Slayers and demons. Rupert just said it was a workout room. He raised both of the boys teaching them martial arts and defensive combat techniques. Said martial arts taught them discipline and defensive combat was sometimes necessary.
William stood there punching the bag with all his might working out all his aggression. He knew better than to try to go out and slay. His mind was still too filled with rage and pain.
Rupert watched his son from the top of the stairs. He knew something was bothering his son. He was relieved that William knew better than to go out and try to face any evil.
William stopped for a moment sensing his father had entered the room. Rupert walked over to the small fridge pulled out some water and handed it to his son.
“Would you like to talk about it?” Rupert asked.
William took a drink of his water then grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his neck.
“I was thinking about Spike.” William admitted.
Rupert nodded.
“Yes I could tell. You are still so angry with him.” Rupert said folding his arms.
“If he hadn’t been so careless! So stubborn!” William yelled.
“And if we had not been your parents.” Rupert whispered.
William looked at his father concerned.
“Da, don’t do that to yourself.” William pleaded.
Rupert looked down, his shoulders hunched over. Suddenly he looked older than he really was. Rupert sighed again.
“If you are to be angry at anyone it should be me. I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew what I was doing. I should have ...”
“What never married Mum” William interrupted.
“Never been happy, never had us. Da, who’s to say this was not the way things were suppose to be?” William
Rupert smiled at his son.
“You are right son.” He said looking at him.
William laughed.
“You know you should really give a bloke a warning when you about to teach a lesson. Ring a bell or something.” William laughed sitting next to his father.
Rupert put his hand on William’s back.
“Actually, I never have to teach you. It’s all in that head of yours. You would have made a brilliant Watcher.” Rupert said.
“Da, do you regret it I mean really?” William asked.
Rupert sat back in his seat.
“There are things I regret. Things I wished I did different perhaps if I approached it in a different manner with Spike he would have understood his role more. In the end though son, no I don’t regret it.” Rupert said.
William nodded slowly.
“I know you don’t believe it William but you were Chosen not because of what happened to your brother but because you have strength, a strength Spike lacked. You have always had a deeper capacity for humanity than Spike did, a selflessness he did not have in him.” Rupert admitted.
“It did not make him evil or weak just not suited for the role.” Rupert said quietly.
Rupert patted his son on the back.
“I’ll let you continue.” Rupert announced.
William sat there for a moment thinking about the night his entire existence changed.
FLASHBACK
________________________________________________________________
William heard the front door open and closed. Immediately his eyes flew open. He had not left The Summer’s Residence until at least 1:00 in the morning. The sun was not out yet. William immediately thought it was an intruder. He grabbed his wooden katana and slowly opened his door. He made his way down the stairs. William looked at the figure pouring scotch in his living room. Immediately he smiled.
“DA!” William said loudly.
Rupert turned to see his youngest boy barreling down the stairs.
“Came home to surprise Mum and me eh? Lizzie will be so happy to see Spike. Is he getting the stuff out of the car?” William asked.
Rupert looked at him confused.
“He’s not here?” Rupert asked.
William shook his head.
“It’s done isn’t it?” They heard from the top of the stairs.
William and Rupert looked up and saw Jenny standing there.
“Not yet but soon.” Rupert said.
Jenny walked down the stairs and walked briskly into her husband’s arms.
“I’m sorry my Love.” Rupert whispered.
“Don’t we knew what we were getting into when we did what we did. No regrets remember?” Jenny whispered.
“Ma, Da, what’s this about? You’re scaring me.” William said looking at his parents.
Jenny looked at her son and hugged him.
She turned back to her husband.
“Where’s Spike?” Jenny asked.
“He ran off after The Council told him. I assumed he would come here.” Rupert explained.
“The Council? What’s The Council? Mum, Da seriously...” William said getting frustrated.
“Sit down Son.” Rupert said.
William took a seat on the couch. Jenny sat next to him.
William watched as his father pulled out a large brown leather bound book. The book looked ancient.
Rupert placed the book in William’s lap. William went to open the first page. It almost felt like the book was humming.
“Please read the text out loud.” Rupert directed.
William did as he was told.
“It had been foretold...Into each generation a Slayer is born. One girl in all the world, a Chosen One. One born with the strength and skill to fight the vampires, to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers.” William read.
Something hit him. It hit him so hard it felt as if he was being punched in the stomach. This book wasn’t a fairy tale.
He looked at his father.
“This is real.” William said.
Rupert nodded.
The room shook for a moment.
William slide the book off his lap.
“Earthquake” he said.
Suddenly they saw a green glow in Lizzie’s room.
“LIZZIE!” William screamed going for the door.
Rupert stopped him letting him know no harm would come to her.
“Of course I should have known that is were he would go first.” Rupert said.
Jenny looked out the window and watched the cloud disappear.
She looked at her husband. Giles held his wife to on his side and grasped his younger son’s shoulder. They all stared out the window.
Jenny closed her eyes and whispered
“Now it’s done.”
