Chapter 14: Warped

A month ago...

It was night when Princess Amalia ran through the darkened forrest with her
adviser, Katya. Amalia was a girl of sixteen, the brunette with beautiful
eyes and rosy cheeks. Katya was the same, through a lesser beauty, and they
both wore the latest garb and the best of native South American
sundresses. They both found no sanctuary at the palace. The whole court had
been torn to pieces and blood was everywhere! Then there was the woman, no
more than twenty...a fire-red, pink and black hair, piercing blue eyed,
short vixen. Though she was a small woman, there was something odd about
her...different. She wore black jeans and a dark tank top with a pink and
black jacket. Her combat boots soaked in blood. That was the last thing she
saw before she fled from the castle. Amalia and Katya ran through the huge
forrest and Amalia stopped when she heard a rustle of leaves and turned to
see her adviser, who stood pale faced.

" Katya, what it is?" Amalia asked in fear, turning to be met with blue
eyes.

" Hey buddy, didn't catch you at the resort." the woman smirked, " I'm
guessing you meant to do that."

Katya immediately began chanting and Amalia cowered, " Who are you?" she
asked.

The woman looked from Amalia to Katya, then pulled out a very large knife
and stuck it in Katya, " Never was one for the magicks." she smiled,
turning back to Amalia, " And the name is Charity." she smiled, shoving
Amalia to the ground and crawling on top of her. She smiled as she toyed
with the knife.

" Why are you doing this?" Amalia cried.

Charity smiled, " Oh, come on, don't tell me this isn't fun." she said,
jabbing her with the knife. Amalia cried out in pain, " I got backers." she
smiled. Amalia looked from Charity to the green eyes behind her. The
perfectly sculpted face...then the robed figures, " Night."

" I call upon the powers that be, cause a time rift and make time skip!"
Katya said before dying. Charity and her guests looked around and noticed
that something was happening! The world was warping away.

" I never did ask how they know what slayer is a potential..Do they have a
device thingy?" I asked, walking with Oz.

" No, wait, sort of. It's interesting or as interesting witchcraft as the
uptight british guys use." Oz chuckled, " They use..."

" Doesn't matter, they have five hundred slayers now...wait, Willow did a
spell, right?" I asked. I noticed Oz smile at Willow's name, " Still have a
thing for red-riding wicca?" I smirked.

" I did." Oz smiled, " Not sure. I just know she did a spell to awaken the
slayer in everyone."

" I know about that." I sighed, " I mean to find a potential. Dawn
mentioned something about eggs and snakes."

" It's been a slow week for dead things." Oz chuckled.

" And don't think I'm not grateful. You know how much homework I could do?"
I chuckled.

" I haven't seen you being extra studious." Oz said, looking at me.

" I said I could, not did." I said, " The whole slayer thing is
creepy. Then add a werewolf, an ex...demony person, the son of two
vampires, and two humans and you get the ultimate party mix."

Oz stopped, " Correction. One money loving chick and a wicca...n." he said
uncertainly, " That is what you call a guy witch isn't?"

" Yaeh." I smirked, sitting on a bench, " That or Harry Potter."

Oz sat beside me, " So, you were tortured?" Oz asked.

I looked down, " You cut right to the chase, don't you? Yeah. Pre-slayer
days." I said carefully.

" Pre-slayer? Nice." Oz smiled.

" Yeah. It's the mystical that has me worried. I've been thinking what if I
can't do this? What if I screw up worse and help end the world?" I asked.

Oz shifed, " And how would you do that?" he asked. I sighed and looked away
and he cleared his throat, " I'm not sure you quite got this whole
'conversation' thing." he joked.

" This is a major city for evil. Evil's plans are here." I said, " Buffy's
looking for me to do some damage and the only thing I've done since I got
here is fight one minor monster after another. I haven't made any real
contributions." I frowned.

Oz shrugged, " We're all saving the world, one demon at a time. And it
would be worse if you gave up." he said seriously, " You've saved people."

" Who? Who have I saved?" I asked.

" Me, in particularly." he said, " I could be picking some freshman out of
my teeth with Fenrir right about now."

" You wouldn't." I said.

" You help." Oz said. I smiled. " You're not just a slayer anymore, you're
the slayer. Just like Buffy, just like Faith and all those who came before
you. Have you ever stopped and wondered why you're not in Scotland with the
rest of the new slayers? You're special. You're meant to do things that
rival what Buffy's doing. So, that makes me believe in you and everything
you do." Oz said nervously.

" Thanks." I said, hugging him.



" So I hear you're from Sunnydale." Mrs. Juhak said cheerily.

I looked at her nervously, " Sure, yes...yeah, how'd you know that?" I
asked.

" In your file." she smiled, " I just wanted to meet you and get your take
on your town caving in." she smiled, " The lost pets, loss of home..."

" I'm good." I smiled nervously.

" Nothing you want to get off your chest?" she asked, leaning forward.

" I do wish things would have been different..." I frowned, " Just select
things."

" Just look at me as a friend...a freakin hot friend, but...." she paused,
" So, you wish..."

" I wish that the world was different. That Buffy hadn't done what she
di...maybe the world would have just ended and would that have been so
bad?" I joked.

She smirked and her face transformed into a demon-ish looking one, " Done."
she said, causing me to jump.




I woke up in a hospital bed, trying to figure out what had just happened,
then I remembered the conversation immediately.

" Vengeance Demon." I said, noticing that something was different. The room
was dark and looked unclean. I moved to the window and saw chaos from it. I
was in Sunnydale, but it wasn't Sunnydale. The sky was red and the street
was cracked! There were no people, but there were monsters and demons and
even a dragon. A dragon? what did I wish for? Buffy didn't win...She didn't
make the slayers into slayer. I snapped out of thought when I heard a door
slam down the hallway and I ripped the tubes from my hands and body and
slid out of bed, running to the closet. I waited for whatever it was to
come and soon there was a bustle of feet and Giles, Dawn, Xander, and
Willow appeared. I gasped in relief.

" Giles, where is he?" Willow panted.

" I don't know, he was here when we left him..." Giles said, looking
around.

" Maybe a vamp got him." Buffy said behind them. They all turned and looked
at her as if she was the enemy, " Thought you were just gonna smack big bad
down, didn't you? Silly, sinful people...You just don't get what I'm
about." she laughed.

" Shut up." Willow said angrily.

" That's it, I need a power hitter on my side." Buffy smiled before
shifting into Faith, " You're only hope is gone. No Faith. No
Buffy. Hundreds of slayers gone...now another. Guess I should have stayed
on the other side, can good guys do anything, but die?"

" Where is he?" Xander growled.

" My vamps say that Buffy and Faith tasted like chicken. Their claws and
fangs slid through them like butter. The blood...so much blood." the first
smiled.

" Shut...Up!" Dawn said through gritted teeth.

" What's wrong? Big sis...wait, she's dead, just like your mom." the first
smiled.

" I'm pretty sure she's right." I said, kicking the closet door down, "
Shut the fuck up."

The group made their way to me, checking me out, " Are you alright?' Giles
asked.

The first growled in pleasure, " Now that the balance is off so much, I can
finally touch." it said, picking up a lamp and throwing it, but caught it.

I held the lamp, crushing it with my hands. I looked at the pieces,
thinking what that meant. Buffy never came up with the idea that she should
make potentials kinetic. She and Faith, the rest of the potentials died in
the Hellmouth. I got a flash...the flash was of Buffy and Faith
fighting. they were kicking the hell out of those vampires, but they
stopped occasionally to help the slaughtered potentials who got
slaughtered. They could have done more, but they didn't because...I was
just kidding about the wish. If I'd have known...I looked up at the
corporeal first and frowned, " Good. I was getting tired of your mouth...I
finally get to kick your ass." I said angrily.

" I bet." it said, turning into Buffy, " Can you bear it?" it asked.

Before I could think, it had me by the throat, " I didn't think so." It
said, hurling me into the hall!

Dawn and the gang ran to me, " Are you okay?" she asked.

I nodded, " Go to the street, wait for me." I said, getting up.

" Where are we going?" Giles asked.

" I'm going into the Hellmouth. If I fail, then you have to get the scythe
and make the potentials chosen, got it? The scythe is the key. And also,
while I'm in the Hellmouth, Will, I need you and the gang to summon and
kill a vengeance demon named Juhak." I said and she nodded, " Go, I'll be
there in a minute." I said, charging into the room. I kicked it into the
wall, " You like pain?" I asked.

" Getting used to it." It said kicking me over the bed. I got up and
blocked a punch, then kicked it in the knees and it howled in pain, then it
picked me up, " I hope you like street." it said, throwing me out of the
window! I fell three stories onto a car, right in front of the Scoobies.

" Told ya." I said, rolling off the hood.

" Demons everywhere, how are we gonna get to the school?" Xander asked.

I put my elbow through the window of the car and looked at hem, " Get in!"

" No key." Dawn said as she got in the back.

" You're a key, do you know how to hotwire?" I asked.

" I do." Willow said, touching the wheel and making the car start.

" Thanks." I smiled.

" Go!" Willow said, looking up.

I looked up and saw that the first was manifesting itself as a big-ass
demon and I slammed my foot against the petal and we screeched away,
hitting a demon here and there.

" You might wanna go faster, if possible." Giles said nervously.

" And why is that?" I asked.

" Because that big thing is on our asses." Xander said, looking back.

I zoomed ahead of the demon and came up with an idea, " Willow, take the
wheel." I said quickly, " I'm going to jump out and you're not going to
take this car to Buffy's house or somewhere safe while I go and get the
scythe." I said, jumping out of the car and immediately running in the
opposite direction of the car. The First immediately began after me and I
ran as fast as I could through the town on the way to Sunnydale High. I got
to the school just in time to avoid the mass of demons who were following
me. Even the dragon tried to kill me, when it wasn't eating a demon. I
locked the school doro and began down the halls and along the corridors I
stopped when I saw Wood. I almost lost it, but I pressed on and ran into
Andrew and Anya's bodies. I stopped and looked down at her body...slashed
in half and Andrew was decapitated...I felt something move behind me and I
moved out of the way, narrowly missing a bringer's sharp knife! There were
five of them. I kicked their asses and moved on. I sped to the basement and
as I got closer I saw something crawling on the floor. I moved closer to
see Vi crawling down the hall and I bent down to her. Her legs had been
ripped off and she was gasping for air. I couldn't speak, I just watched
her try to make words before she stopped moving all together. That was when
I noticed that I was surrounded by three Turoks. One came at me and I
punched it backwards, then kicked another, moving out of the way to not be
impaled by the third, then the first jumped on me and I slid under him,
through a nearby door, slamming it shut. I looked at the Hellmouth and
noticed that it was pulsating. I took a deep breath as it opened and dove
into the Hole.


" And why would I do that?" Dhoffryn asked.

" Because I will kill you." Willow said seriously.


" While that scares me slightly, I don't kill easily." Dhoffryn said.


" How about if we seperate your horns from the rest of your body?" Xander
asked angrily.

" Xander." Dawn said.

" Ahh, the key." Dhoffryn said.

" She is not a key." Giles growled.

" Look at it this way...world with little to no humans and you and
your...girls are out of a job." Xander said bitterly.

" True." Dhoffryn said, " It shall..."

Back at the Hellmouth, I walked down the steps and were immediately met by
Turok-Han and I fought them, but there were too many. I ran as fast as I
could to escape them and found a spot where there were less of them. The
spot was where the fight took place. The potentials were everywhere...blood
was everywhere...pieces were everywhere...Then I saw Buffy and Faith. They
were alive, but the First said...

" Austin." Faith smiled, " Come give us a kiss." she said, vamping out.

" You first, bitch." I said, pulling out a stake, " Knew I'd need this."

" Always be prepared." Buffy smiled.

" Never be scared." I said, watching Faith run at me! As she did I kicked
her and she punched me. As I fell to the ground, I rolled backwards and
looked up in time to get kicked back into the wall of the caves! I felt
Faith's hands clutching the back of my shirt as I lost my stake and Faith
threw me a few feet.

" Come on, This isn't any fun...well, not much...hell, I guess it is."
Faith smiled as I punched her in the mouth.

I kicked her feet from under her, " I guess, not really fun when you know
I'll when." I said, kicking her in the stomach! I jumped in the air and
punched her on the way down, then she swatted me back and I grabbed her
hand and staked her, " Next."

" I brought friends." Buffy said, and I noticed millions of demons.

" What's with you and friends?" I asked, looking around and I saw a pile of
dust, " Spike." I said to myself. Buffy looked too and we both had the same
thought. I ran to it, but she caught me and began to punch me, but I kicked
her off and snatched my stake from the ground beside me, but a hand grabbed
it before I could stake Buffy.

" Miss me?" the first said as Spike, crushing the stake. Its grip on my
wrist tightened.

" Yeah, you're the only one who knows how rough I like it." I said kicking
him and flipping backwards. I dove back onto the pile of ashes and grabbed
the locket, " Say goodnight." I said, putting it on and opening it!

" No! EVERYON GET AWAY!" The First screamed, disappearing.

I felt my soul illuminate and the light from my soul shone through the
entire cavern as the demons disentegrated and Buffy looked directly in my
eyes and I shed a tear, " I wish..."


" ...That the world was how it had been before Austin made his wish."
Willow said quickly.

" YOU GUYS!" Dawn shouted from the window.

" DOne." Dhoffryn said just in time to avoid the crumbling of the town.



I found myself back in my chair, looking at Mrs. Juhak, " Leave. And don't
come back." I said through gritted teeth.

" I was just trying to help." Juhak said.

" You're not gone." I said, watching her disappear. I sighed in relief and
walked out of the office, planning to call Buffy and thank her so much.
