Not So Homecoming Dance from beautiesnbeasts
Things were different, today. Not to mention the distance between everyone. Sure, it was me, Giles and Oz in the library, but it felt like me and Giles. Xander left school with Faith. No goodbye. Just left. I was a little mad about it. Then again, I wish I would have left early to collect my thoughts and to be alone.
So much has happened. Everything keeps going over and over in my head. I want it to stop. I want to think about something else. Everything seems to keep crumbling down around me. So much lose. So much pain. I hoped that the Homecoming dance would bring us some happiness, but there was a possibility Angelus would show up. It's not definite, but I will have to think about him coming there with Cordelia all night. Before I left my house, I made sure my mom checked herself into a hotel for the night. Angel and Spike were de-invited, but Cordelia wasn't. I didn't want my mom mixed up in this mess. I watched her drive off and turned toward the limo. I fixed my red dress and got in the limo.
I saw Xander and Faith outside. I had questions about those two being together all day. They looked a little chummy from where I was sitting. Xander and Faith got into the car and we drove off. There was small talk, but not much. Faith and Xander were acting majorly weird. Especially, Xander. I asked where he was at all day, and Faith answered for him. She said something about them being at the arcade. Am I really supposed to believe that? Even if I did think something happened between them, it didn't happen. Xander wouldn't do that. I mean, Cordelia was just turned into a vampire. He wouldn't think about hooking up with someone else right now. The thought was just...eww.
With all the confusion going on, we didn't realize we were going the wrong way. Xander noticed. I looked and we were headed away from Sunnydale High. Something stirred in the pit of my stomach. I didn't have a good feeling about it. I knew this night wasn't going to go well.
I managed to knock several times on the front window, with no answer. The driver sped up. At that moment, there was something definitely going on. Without thought, I tried to punch the window open, only to find out that the window was made of plastic. Faith tried and didn't get anywhere. He had to know we were slayers. Well, except for Xander. I don't know where he fit in all of this. I told Xander and Faith to be on guard. I threw an extra axe I had with me at Xander.
"He could have a gun up there, and maybe it's good that we can't get to him, but I have another thought. What if he's locked us in and the car blows five seconds after he gets out?"
My eyes went to Xander. "Way to make us feel better, Xander. If that were the case, then we'd all be dead, right?" Xander looked at me with wide eyes. "The car is not going to blow up. So, stop thinking that. We're going to deal with the situation. Once the car stops, then we'll make our move. I'll head out first, followed by Faith. Xander, stay close to us. I don't want you getting hurt."
The car finally stopped. We heard the driver door open. Then, I heard someone running from the car. I looked at Faith and Xander. I went for the door and opened it. I saw the driver running away. "Hey! You're just going to..." I stopped to take a look at our surroundings. We're in the middle of nowhere. "...leave us here?" I sighed. Faith and Xander were already out of the car, when I noticed a TV and VCR on a tree bark. "You've gotta be kidding me. Let me guess? 'Play Me'." I rolled my eyes, looking at Faith.
We walked over to the TV. "Here goes nothing." I pressed play. I didn't know what was on this tape, or who. This wasn't the work of Angelus.
