Time Spin

Buffy and the usual gang sat in the library along with Sasha and three other demon generals doing research. It had been nearly two weeks since the demons arrival, two weeks and three days since Jaeger was taken…Buffy felt as though the weight of the world was on her shoulders.



Sighing she listened as Willow droned on about some of the possible locations for the hell mouth… Buffy watched the tall muscular blue skinned woman, she was sure there was more that she was being told.



Did Sasha know where the hell mouth would be? And if she did why hadn’t she said anything? Groaning when Andrew and Dawn giggled over yet another strangely proportioned demon. She buried her face in her hands, peeking through her fingers as the blue skinned woman blushed a dark shade of indigo.



Pulling back she turned to her right and studied her mates profile, it seemed like ever since Jaeger had been taking Lonnie was making more of an effort than ever in being friends with the gang…but less than ever in being a mate.



She knew Jaegers disappearance was hitting them both very hard but she really wished things were just…different. She missed her mate…the woman that Lonnie was in prehistoric Germany. She was still the same woman…that was constant…but she was also so different now. Sighing she tried to focus on Dawn, glancing over at her friends she realized she was being watched, moving to meet her observers eyes she wasn’t to surprised to find they belonged to Sasha.

Skye came awake slowly, groaning softly she looked up and saw that Ryan was asleep and snoring softly…’Ha wore her out.’ Skye grinned and laid back. It was a rare ting indeed to wear the girl out. And on the few and rare occasions she did she felt incredibly proud of herself.



Smiling, she stared blankly at the ceiling of her room. Without thought to intention she slipped back into a deep sleep.

“What do you mean we can’t do it?” Tyrell ranted, pacing the large open chamber he glared at the small child that was sitting off to the side playing withe the hem of her sleeping dress.



Turning back angrily at the demon, “There is a schedule…and dammit just because some…some CHILD says no were not going to do it?” Tyrell exclaimed angrily.



Turning he stalked to the child how stopped humming long enough to give him her full attention. She had unwillingly told him WHERE the hell mouth would be but since then had barely spoken…well that is aside from the singing and damned mantras of ‘Your going to lose!’



Glaring down at the dark haired little girl, “Do you know why we can’t do it?”



Nodding mutely. She looked up at her captor. “You must have the blood of the pure.”



Growling he turned and shot a look back at the mage. Turning back “And who is this ‘pure’” He asked calmly.



“The pure is the person whose blood is as old as the earth itself…without it…you got nothing.” Jaeger said arrogantly.



“So…what? I just have to kidnap some old biddy? That’s easy enough.” Jaeger nodded along readily more for his peace of mind than any other thing that may exist.

Skye stood at the stovetop fixing lunch for her family, turning she saw Remy but not Ryan. Calling over David and the twins. She carefully shopped the hamburger helper onto there plates, stopping at Remy’s as he carried Brigitte over and gently set her it her chairs; she waited for him to sit.



Looking around tensely, she turned to Remy “Hey…where’s Ryan?”



“She’s…having a bad day” Remy said calmly, as if her being sick was a big deal. Skye unconsciously began dishing out the food faster so she could get upstairs to help him tend Ryan in any way she could.



Smiling as her mothers walked in laughing and talking animatedly, she put her dirty dishes in the sink and headed up the stairs.



Carefully stepping into her room she saw that Remy was already at his sister’s side, holding a damp cloth to her head while Ryan shook and trembled from the attentions.



Kneeling beside Ryan she gently touched her mates forehead, jerking her hand back at the first touch of burning skin she turned to Remy “Is it always this bad?”



Remy silently nodded and stood, walking to Ryan’s old Army duffel he dug around until he pulled out a small flat case and pulled out a syringe and small vial of medication. Filling the syringe he walked over to his sister.



“Roll her over; I have to give her this injection.” He said simply, wafting as Skye carefully turned Ryan onto her side and pulled down the side of her pants, exposing her hip.



Fighting back a snarl at the sight of the young boy carefully injecting the girl with a clear liquid. Sighing she turned her lover back onto her back and studied the girl.



***********************



Sasha looked around the group that the slayers had a very powerful witch, an entire pack of skin walkers as well as a vast number of slayers. She turned carefully and studied the tall brunette slayer called Faith.



Freezing in place when she saw that Raya was sitting across the table watching her closely. Sighing and looked down at the table and back up again, not missing how the wolf sent her a look that clearly said ‘she’s mine ‘



She turned and listened intently as the entire demon population smiled and laughed together. She knew to these slayers her kind were nothing more than adversaries and enemies.



Both were a state if mind…Sitting up straighter when she felt a small pinch of awareness make the fine hairs on her neck stand up.



Sighing she sat and watched as the humans discussed the possible locations fore hell mouths. At the moment, based on what she had seen and heard form Willow she knew that there wasn’t much she could do.



Settling back in the chair she tried not to let her gaze wander over to the blonde slayer, she was intrigued by the smaller woman. She was the last person Sasha would have thought could bring down the First.



Sighing she ignored the angry stare from the wolf woman, skin walker wolves were really territorial…it was a tad annoying. She wondered how the wolf would react to the knowledge that she had led to the destruction of most of the species population some thousand years ago.



*****************************



Tyrell stood at the window of his ‘home’…they were on a time constraint and the child was more stubborn than he had originally thought she would be. Turning he looked at the tiny child that seemed too be swallowed up by the large chair she sat in.



He had had the restraints removed, more to allow her to annoy the human guards than anything else. True the child’s voice grated on his own nerves but he could live with it. There were only so many sources of amusement here after all.



Sighing he walked to his desk, looking down at the maps he studied the charge red circle which showed his hell mouths location. As irony would have it…it was on the schools grounds. The only reprieve was at the farthest end of the property.



Now all he had to worry about was how he and his men were going to get ON the land. Recent surveillance had told him that the slayer now had new allies.



Growling he turned and stalked out of the room. Jaeger let out a deep sigh.



Now that he was gone she could try to contact Aunt Willow. Closing her eyes she concentrated on eh red headed woman….*Help! It’s almost time*



Sighing she laid back in the overstuffed chair when she got no reply.
