Chapter 1: Help Wanted
Chapter 1: Help Wanted
I NEED YOU HERE RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!!!
The message in her e-mail was so unexpected, Willow didn’t even think about it, she just went to the kitchen, as not to disturb Kennedy’s sleep, and picked up the phone.
It was answered almost before it had time to ring.
“Slayer Central, we save the world a lot, how may we help you?”
“You really answer the phone like that?”
“No, but as it’s 3 in the morning and others tend to be more considerate and wait for a more “daily” time of the day to call, I assumed it would be you”.
“Well, of course it’s me, after that rude mail you sent me, Capitals in an e-mail are not very polite, you know? it’s like shouting”.
“In that case, I apologize, now, GET THE HELL HERE NOW, THIS INSTANT!”
“Hey, my ear drums! Something happened, what’s going on, any baddies you can’t deal with?”
“No, Will, no baddies, nothing like that. Something is very wrong with Buffy and I need you here, pronto”.
“Is she ill, hurt, what? Just spill it out”.
“No, you have to be here, and get Giles too. But just you two, capiche? this is for the original gang alone, sorry”.
“It’s ok, Kennedy can finish up here, but you are totally frightening me”.
“Just get here”.
“Ok”.
Before waking Kennedy to explain, Will sat down for a minute to digest Xander’s order. He sounded deadly serious.
The first few days after the final battle at the hellmouth when everybody was still together had been great. Everyone’s spirit was so high, “victory dancy” and all. What could be wrong with Buffy now? She’d seem fine the last time they were together. Better than fine, actually.
But it had been a while, three months since the gang spread to the four corners of the world. Giles went on a world tour, gathering all watchers left, and Dawn was with him, their junior watcher. They planned to re-start the slayers training and with slayers popping everywhere watchers were scarce, two at the moment, and so off they went.
Faith did as she said she would and slept for a week, in a manner of speaking. She waited though, until Robin was given the Ok by the doctors and they did stay in bed for a week, nobody wanted to deal with the whether they slept at all part.
Then they, and the ex-potentials, were gone looking for other slayers everywhere and generally having the time of their lives before finally settling in Cleveland.
And then there was Xander, who was working on a mayor building for the Slayer’s headquarters. He was not yet over losing Anya, but he was dealing with it as best he could. Then she had left with Kennedy for England to retrieve the Watcher Council’s funds for Giles super “Slayers Training Program”. That was her task as it could require some of her special abilities and because it was sort of a romantic trip to visit Kennedy’s home (or homes, she thought, would be more accurate) and to visit the Coven.
Buffy stayed behind, in the ranch they bought outside of what used to be Sunnydale and was dedicated to the "quiet life". She would walk around, read, watch TV and don’t do much of anything, which she deserved and was finally able to do, if she chose to.
There were a lot of them now and a lot lest baddies to fight in the area. There was really not a lot of anything in the area.
The ranch was about a couple of hours from the crater, and one couldn’t actually see "it" from there.
The house was in the middle of nowhere (meaning no mall in sight, no town in sight either, for that matter). It was kind of desertic there, with dust and a few plants and not much else, in the same area where the “slayer’s vision spot” was.
But it was a really big, nice house. With a big swimming pool and a converted barn where a lot of people could stay if needed until the other building Xander was working on was completed.
What could possibly be wrong?
She left a message in Giles’s answering machine and went back to the bedroom to wake Kennedy up and say goodbye.
“Baby? You awake?”
“Kind of... what’s going on, and what’s with the long face?”
“I have to go back, right now”.
“Back?”
“To the ranch, Xander wants me there”.
“Ok”
“I’m going now, you can finish up here, right?”
“Well...sure, I’ll leave for the ranch too as soon as I can”.
“Baby, I’m sorry, but I want you to stay here, I’m going by myself”
“What’s this about? Don’t you think another slayer may help speed things along?”
“It’s not a slayer thing, well it is actually, but not of the kind you can help with. It’s about Buffy, something is wrong. Please baby, I’ll call as soon as I know more, but I need to go now”.
“Will, I understand, I’ll be here or at the other house, you’ll call when you can and when you’ve made things right again”.
“I love you”
“I do too. You want me to call the airport for you, a cab?”
“No, I’m leaving right now, bye”.
With that Willow was gone, and Kennedy remained in bed, thinking if she would ever get used to her magical lover.
