Silver
Part Two: Silver.
Far from going well, the night had ended with Buffy prematurely encountering, and dispatching, several vampires. As if that wasn’t complication enough, two other students from the school, Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris, had become aware that Buffy was the Slayer. Worst of all was that they now wanted to help.
This involvement by outsiders was unprecedented, but then very little seemed to be going as expected with the new Chosen One. She was proving to be quite a handful, headstrong and outspoken, but also remarkably capable. Julia couldn’t help but feel a grudging admiration for the girl. Merrick had been right after all; Buffy was exceptional. Giles and Julia spent several hours discussing the options before finally concluding that it was best to keep Willow and Xander close, maybe even let them help out with the research side of things. At least that way they could be protected to some extent and Willow’s outstanding computer skills were definitely a bonus.
Buffy had received a few injuries during the night’s skirmishes and still nursed a painful elbow as Giles gave the group a short history of the Hellmouth. Julia noticed a small silver cross around Buffy’s neck that she had not been wearing the day before.
As the meeting broke up, Julia walked over to Buffy, taking the cross in her hand. It tingled warmly against her fingertips. ‘This is pretty; it looks like solid silver. Where did you get it?’
‘From Mr Giles’s friend,’ Buffy answered. Julia looked across at Giles who shrugged. ‘You know,’ Buffy continued, ‘the tall, broody guy who followed me on the way to the Bronze last night and told me about this Harvest thingie.’
‘Buffy, Giles and I are the only members of the Watchers Council here right now. We don’t have any other contacts in Sunnydale, or in California for that matter; certainly no-one who would know about the Hellmouth, or the Harvest.’
The stranger’s reference to the supernatural occurrence known as the Harvest had been very disturbing. Julia was currently searching for references to the phenomenon and what she had found so far was extremely alarming. Giles was still working on a possible timeframe for the event.
Buffy’s description of the young man prompted Julia to speculate on whether he might have been the same person who had observed her encounter with the two vampires a fortnight ago.
‘I think it’d be wise for you to stay home this evening, Buffy, and let that arm heal. I’ll check out the Bronze tonight.’ Julia looked over at Giles who gave her one of his tight-lipped, disapproving stares. ‘I’ll see if I can find out a bit more about this mystery man of yours.’
