The Countdown part 2

9pm



Buffy wearily walked into her house, softly closing the door she fought off a yawn and put away her sword and stretched. She had spent the last three hours being guided through the tunnel system by Giles and Willow.



There were several entrances into the caves including three in the housing area. She stopped in the hallway and looked down the hall at the basement door she sighed, knowing one of those ‘entrances’ were in her basement.



Climbing the stairs she went into the bathroom to shower. Stripping off her clothes she grimaced at the amount of dust and dirt on her clothes and skin. Those tunnels were anything but clean she supposed.



Stepping into the shower she tried not to dwell on whatever this fight was, she knew it was soon but she had never felt so in the dark as to ‘when’ it was going to happen. She had expected these men or the skin walker to come after Jaeger after she had returned but there had been nothing. Willow suspected that since Jaeger had been left in the facility that maybe her purpose to Tyrell had bee filled.



Thinking back over the day, she had run into Faith on her way home and had been told that the arrows she and Sasha found had been filled with Ryan’s blood and were being kept locked away in Sasha’s tent for safe keeping. It was good they had that weapon but she truly hoped they didn’t need to use it.



She could never admit it to anyone but sometimes she didn’t feel like THE slayer…even though she was the original. After ten years in the German wilds and not having to slay…she didn’t know if she was really cut out for this anymore. Sighing she leaned unhappily against the wall of the shower and let the water beat down on her, she could do this. She just needed to have faith in herself. She beat the First, and a lot of other half assed schemes to take over the world.



She could do this…she still would LOVE to know what it is they were fighting to keep in the hellmouth…Sasha and Coop were surprisingly closed mouthed about it…jus staying it was a demon that could wipe out the world….did they even know? They had to they were all…gods and stuff. But still Glory wasn’t the brightest thing out there and she was a Hell God. Maybe they didn’t know?



Stepping out of the shower with renewed energy she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself. Shaking the water out of her dreads she walked from the bathroom to her and Lonnie’s bedroom.



Stepping in she smiled at Lonnie who was sitting up in bed reading ‘see spot run’ to Jaeger. What was both funny and sweet abut the sight was that Jaeger seemed to be have just as hard a time reading as Lonnie was. Vikki had told her at some point she believed Lonnie may be dyslexic but there was no way to tell until she had progressed some more.

“Jaeger…its time for bed honey.” Buffy said softly, not wanting to wake up Axel who was an unbelievably light sleeper.



Jaeger nodded and looked down guiltily studying her hands. Buffy frowned…she did something…the hand studying only happened when she knew she would get into trouble. Straightening and crossing her arms she stared down at her daughter. When she was about to ask the child what was wrong teary blue eyes met her own hazel ones.



“Im sorry mommy…I shoulda told you.” Frowning in confusion she looked to Lonnie who shrugged confused. Turning back to her daughter she went and sat down beside her on the bed. Gently wrapping her arms around the tiny girl she rubbed her hand up and down the girls back as she murmured comfortingly.



“What is it baby girl? What’s wrong?” Buffy asked softly…maybe her visions were back and she was bed wetting again?



“He’s coming.” Buffy froze…with her daughter ‘He’ meant only one person. Looking over to the wide eyes of Lonnie she pulled back and gently tilted Jaegers chin up so she could meet her eyes.



“When?”



“Tonight” Jaeger looked down guiltily when she saw panic flash through her mommy’s eyes. “It won’t matter though…shell still dies”



Fear clenched Buffy’s heart as she looked down at her tiny little seer. “Who will?”



“I can’t say. If I do it might change everything…this way…you’ll kill the tiger man. But she has to die or he won’t die.”



“If I guess does that count?” Buffy asked, she knew how tenuous the time line could be but she had to know…there HAD to be someway around it.



Shaking her head she looked up at her mommy “she’s meant to die tonight. It was Mama but that changed…now it’s her who has too.” Jaeger looked down at studied her hands “you can’t let the hell mouth open mommy…if it does it’ll let the bad thing out”



“What’s the bad thing?” Buffy asked feeling more and more panicked. Her child was amazingly smart for her age and the fact that they were jumping back and forth between languages didn’t bother her it was making heads or tails of anything she was saying that could be confused because Jaeger was a child.



“I don’t know…but in my head it makes vampire people in the day. I don’t know what it means.” Buffy frowned…this thing was a vampire? She HAD to talk to Sasha.



Standing she went to the dresser and dressed in jeans and a dark shirt. Pulling her damp dreads back she tied them off and turned back to the pair “I’ve got to go talk to Sasha and Coop. Ill be back”



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



1030pm



Coop stepped into her sister’s tent and rubbed her sleep laden eyes. She had JUST gotten to sleep when Sasha had summoned her…that’s right summoned. Well she could rib her for that later; she had said this was important.



Standing in the main area of the tent she saw the blonde slayer sitting stiffly on one of the chairs as Sasha sat on another one carefully sipping blood tea. Nasty stuff and Sasha hated it but it was a delicacy among demons so she kind of had to drink it being there leader and all.



“So what’s up?” Coop asked as she sat down opposite them on the small table. Looking between the two curiously.



“Jaeger says they’re coming tonight. That someone will die and I can’t stop it because it’ll change the outcome.” Looking down she decided not to tell them what she had said about daylight vampires.



“She’s right. The knowledge of something like that can change everything…its simple cause and effect.” Coop said as she pulled off a chunk of banana bread and took a bite.



“I get the feeling that your not here to stop the tiger so much as you are to keep whatever it is…that’s IN the hellmouth from coming out.” Buffy said studying the pair…she realized neither of them moved a muscle and she smirked “This is only a hair color…not a personality trait…what’s down there”



Darkness.” Sasha whispered. Coop shot her a look that clearly was meant to shut her up.



“What kind of darkness?” Buffy asked, this barely worded answer shit was grating on her nerves…looking between the two she decided Coop must know something more than Sasha.



“We don’t know.” Coop blushingly admitted “Something that was sealed off at the beginning of time. Its not the First obviously…its…well it would technically be the ‘second’…only no one knows what it is. Just that whatever it is needs to stay good and locked up.”



“Well...they’re coming tonight. Jaeger saw them in her head.” Buffy wasn’t surprised at the shocked looks from the siblings. “I suggest you get your men in order…I have to get everyone hidden away. Meet back here at 1130?”



Sasha and Coop nodded blankly, Buffy stood and turned back to the pair “I understand that you two have your own agenda but if would have really helped if I knew what it is that were fighting sooner instead of going off in tangents because now…im going to lose someone I care about…aren’t I?” Buffy asked…she knew they wouldn’t tell her outright but she had to know…was it someone close?



Coop stood and looked at her sadly, nodding quietly. “Yes. It is someone you love.”



Buffy reeled back and frantically went over everyone it could be…Willow? Giles? Faith? Raya? Horus or Dawn? Asher or Andrew...Lonnie? Steeling back her emotions she turned and all but ran out of the tent.



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



1120pm



“I can’t find Brigitte” Faith exclaimed frantically searching her house, where was she? Where was her baby? Pulling the cabinet’s open and frantically opening every cupboard in the place…where was she?



Turning back to see Raya come back from outside she nearly cried when her wife shook her head no. “She’s a child…there only so many places she can be. Raya sniff her out”



“Im trying her scent doesn’t leave the house.” Raya ran and worried hand through her hair and looked around. Buffy had come to them and told them of what was to come but dammit where was there baby.



“Where could she be?” Faith looked around and suddenly realized something “Where David?”



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



David quietly carried his sleeping sister down the ladder to the hidden tunnel system. He had found one of the entrances that came up in his closet the year before and hadn’t told anyone.



Now he could hide his sister from the bad men.
