Willow for pylean_misfits
Sighing I checked my watch. I’d been sitting here how long now? Like almost a day. I even went out to get a mocha latte from across the street. But when I came back the note I left was still untouched and there wasn’t anyone around. There weren’t even any mice! I uh, was expecting some in this old hotel. Even if the lobby did look like there hasn’t been anyone for like days, I didn’t think Cordy would let it get this far.
They didn’t like move out did they? Oh gosh! Why didn’t I think of that before? Naw, they would’ve told us wouldn’t they? I mean, Cordy and me we do call on occasion. Which is kinda strange but in a neat kinda way. Not like we were friends or anything back in high school. I guess things do change and sometimes for the better. Not always.
Buffy was still dead. She had still sacrificed herself for the world and Dawn. And when I close my eyes, I can still see her flying though the air, free as a bird before the sick thud of a body hitting the floor ended all that. Dead, gone, lost. Taking a deep shuddering breath, I wiped away the tears flowing again. Tara had offered to come along, but this was something I had to so alone. Xander and Giles though a call would do the trick and I could hear them wondering why even that was needed.
Yeah, I knew they hated Angel. I also knew that no matter what, Buffy love Angel. We owed him this much at least.
If he ever shows up that is! And like where’s the rest? Hello? don’t ever work here? Wesley and Cordy and I think they mentioned a Gunn or whatever? There’s no one here! Getting up from the sofa, I was starting to pace wondering if perhaps I shouldn’t have drank so much coffee. I heaved another deep sigh, tucking my hair behind my ears and froze.
There was a tingling in the air. Confused, I gathered my own magic totally automatically and looked around. Nothing to see, of course, but it was there! Then I felt a ripple go through the lobby, a round swirly thingy opened and a green demon was flung out. I gaped at him as he groaned, taking a step back. Never did get that far, not even one step when I felt something pull at me. Tried to struggle, really did! But then I got zoinked into swirly thingy, portal, and spit out on the other side.
Fist thing I noticed was that my ass wasn’t fat,. Cause landing on it kinda hurt. Then I noticed two suns. I blinked at that, making a face. “Crap,” I muttered, pushing myself up and wiping my hands on my skirt. Then there was the third thing, at least a few familiar face gaping at me and looking…..kinda lost? Giving them a weak smile I shrugged confused myself.
“I kinda guess this isn’t California anymore?”
