A Time To Sew

William sat at his desk finishing his Sociology assignment. He heard a light knock on his door.

He turned around. “Come in Bit.” He said

Dawn turned walked in.

“It’s scary how you know it’s me every time.” Dawn said plopping down on his bed.

“Slayer senses.” William teased.

Dawn rolled her eyes. She looked down at William’s comforter smoothing it out.

“What’s on you mind Bit?” William asked.

“Well everyone is coming over tonight. Cause you know..” Dawn said not wanting to finish her sentence.

William nodded.

“It’s just weird sometimes at school I have to act so normal like I know nothing and then when I come home everything is different. This seems more real than what everyone else get to live.” Dawn said.

William smiled at her. She was so remarkable. She insightful and mature for her age it scared him at times.

“Will? Can I ask another question?” She said.

“Anything Bit.” He announced.

“What did it feel like? I mean the moment you knew.” Dawn asked.

William sat back in his seat and began to tell his story....

FLASHBACK
__________________________________________________________________

Rupert and William sat up waiting. Dawn had broke and there was no sign of Spike. they thought that perhaps he had just fallen asleep at The Summer’s house but William knew better.

Lizzie’s light was still on. She knew she was waiting for him as well. Rupert was about to call The Council when they both saw it.

It floated from the ceiling hovering over them. A green cloud of smoke. The same color they had seen in Lizzie room.

“No.” Rupert whispered his eyes becoming wide in fear.

William watched it float toward him.

“NO!” Rupert screamed.

He would not lose William.

William watched as his father began to chant.

Everything seemed surreal.

A large swirling light appeared before him holding the green dust at bay.

“Da, what did you do!” William screamed watching the green cloud and swirling light battle.

“Spike’s dead! You’re to be called! Go in now!” Rupert said pointing at the light.

“What do you mean?” William screamed.

Rupert continued to focus his energy on the light.

“I will not lose you too!” He screamed.

William realized at that moment what his father had done. He had opened a portal, the same one he had opened to spare their mother her fate. It hit William at that moment. Spike was gone....

William looked at the light. He wanted to obey his father but his feet would not move. William a million thoughts raced through his mind, His life as he knew it, his brother gone, his mother on her deathbed, Lizzie...Lizzie....

William looked at his father.

“Da! No!” William screamed.

Rupert looked at his son. He saw determination in his eyes. He saw peace. Resignation.

William took a step toward the green cloud. The cloud turned from the swirling light and hovered for a moment then with lightening speed it shot straight into William’s chest.

Rupert lowered his hand and began to cry.

William gasped for air.

The same images that invaded his brother filled his mind. Ancient wars, untold tales. All of it hit him at once.

William regained his footing and stood up.

He looked over and saw his broken father.

“Spike...” He cried.

William sunk to his knees hugging his father. Both men cried.

Rupert straightened out first. He wiped the tears from his son’s eyes.

A knowing looked passed between them. They would have to go on. For Jenny, for Spike.

William continued to wipe the tears from his eyes.

He laid down in his father’s lap like he had done as a child.

Rupert grasped his son in his arms and began to speak.

“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. Always a girl until now. You have been Chosen. This is your destiny William Giles. My name is Rupert Giles and I am your Watcher....”

Dawn listened to his story. She smiled at him.

“Green Cloud eh?” Dawn said making a face.

“How’d it taste?” Dawn asked.

William tugged at her hair and said.

“Kind of green”
