British Brooding

[wesley_pryce]

It had been a terrible past few years. The Master’s network of henchmen were a power on the face of the earth. Watchers had died at the hands of his assassins- they had died in the middle of England and not some far off colony. Potentials had been injured in attacks throughout England and the Continent. The Council itself had come under attack. It

...Oh, lucky charms...they're magically delicious... then a rabbit appeared, 'silly rabbit, trix. are. for. kids.'I woke up with a start, my stomach was hurting a little. I turned the lights on and looked for the water bottle that I kept next to my bed. Empty

I followed wesley into the library , she heard a woman enter the library. This woman sounded like a klutz. I still wore my long black cloak with hood over my head that I found in an alley.I didn't turn to look at the woman and I looked around from where I was standing.

I said curiously "What is this..?.."
I tilted my head slightly and I didn't care if he realized or not that I followed him to this place.

I was going through the scrolls and volumes in the quieter section of the library. I had very many of them to go through this night... I was rather hard on myself.

That is how I was successful.

The light was on and I was wearing my long cloak with the hood thrown back. I turned and put a book back on the shelf when I heard a noise. This was still dangerous territory... anything could happen to me before my mission was completed.

I turned my head and called out, "Friend or foe?" with my hand resting on the hilt of the sword I carried with me.

I looked at the woman and then wesley again as he turned his head and rested the sword on my shoulder. I didn't like it and I grabed the sword with the sharp blade part cutting my hand.After taking the sword from sharp end I pulled it out of wesleys grip and the sword slid across the room. I answered him in a monotone voice "friend..."

I could have said foe but this human was kind of different. He wasn't scared of me which was new because many humans were scared of me.

"Friend or foe?"

I stopped dead in my tracks... before I could answer I found a blue... something? Who looked oodly familiar.. hmm.

The man rested the pointy looking thing that could only be categorized as a sword on her shoulder and she didn't seem to like that too much because she pulled it out of his grip. Then she answered his question and it really puzzled me.

"Friend..."

I didn't know what to do or say. Geez Fred, way to go. Why didn't you just stay in the basement where is dark and safe an no one can see you?

They were both staring at me at this point, and I didn't know what else to say other than...

"Student?"

Leaving Buffy in my house, possibly a bad judgment call, I headed off to school. I had to keep working, some of the kids counted on me...the ones that were left at least. When I got to the school I parked in the lot that seems to grow emptier and emptier everyday.

Entering the school I automatically went down to the basement before going to the library. I make these rounds everyday, making sure that nothing was living down here, nothing that shouldn't at least.

I had noticed a cot down here for a while. Though whenever I came down here the bed was empty. I am almost definate that a student lives down here. Hence why I found myself here early, I was determined to solve this mystery.

Walking into the area with the bed, I saw that once again I had come to late. "Bugger." I turned and went up to the library. As I walked in I saw a group of people talking, my brow furrowed. "What the bloody hell are you all doing in here?"

[wesley_pryce]

"Ah yes, there you are Rupert." Wesley replied as he walked forward. As he walked from the shadows of the book cases into the light more of his features were revealed. A hard chin, intense eyes, and a grizzled masculine look.

He was momentarily distracted as he took out a long bandage and began wrapping Illyria's hand. He looked over to the new person entering the library. He knew Rupert but who was that girl with the ethereal face and the intelligent gaze?

"The Council sent me Rupert... we're impressed by your longevity. I was sent on a mission to-" he said pausing and looking around at Illyria and smiling. Then he turned with a motion of his elbows back towards Rupert. "Well, retrieve a artifact of incredible power as well as ah-" he paused again. He wasn't much of a speech person. "Fight evil."

My hand was bandaged by wesley and I didn't know my manners so I looked at this man whom just entered the room and asked "Who is he..? and She?.." as I was refering to fred as the she in the room and looked at her and then back at the man.

I heard Fight Evil
I wanted to say something But I held back and kept my bandaged hand to my stomach and I saw Wesley smile at me and I tilted my head slightly in curiousity as I usually do.

[quietkindocrazy]

Okay Fred. What did you get yourself into this time?

"What the bloody hell are you all doing in here?"

I really didn't know what to answer. I sort of pointed to wards me and Mr. Giles just frowned. Than the other guy in the room answered like if he knew Mr. Giles. Judging by the accent, he was british too.

"Ah yes, there you are Rupert. The Council sent me Rupert... we're impressed by your longevity. I was sent on a mission to- well, retrieve a artifact of incredible power as well as ah- Fight evil."

Fight Evil? I was trying to make my way out of the room without being noticed, beeing in such close proximity to people I didn't know always made me sort of jittery. And just when I thought I wouldn't be missed...

"Who is he..? and She?..""Who me?" I said pointing to myself and pushing my glasses back up
