Crossbow attack!

Jan 10, 2006 01:24

Now honestly what was the big rush running upstairs where potential big clawed teleporting demons could kill you? It's not like I hadn't been used to it by now just actually dealing with it was another thing. I'm sure Buffy had her way about her to get through each and every battle that she hadn't had the chance to teach me about just yet but maybe one day this will just be one big laugh. 'Oh Dawn you're so stupid for being scared, you big idiot.' Which maybe I imagine my future self to be a bit meaner but yet I have no idea why. I never really wanted to be an older version of Cordy but if all of this was what I was meant for maybe it's possible.

I shrugged as I just kept my eyes forward with my trusty crossbow. I thought about giving it a name but every time I try and do that something or someone gets hurt and I don't exactly want to see a repeat of last time. So this bow will not be named and that's final. I took a deep breath as I realized I was able to keep quiet halfway there which makes me wonder if all my shot nerves were gone and now I can fully focus.

"What do you think he's doing? You know to keep himself safe if he's awake?" I felt my mouth moving as I inadvertently must of jinxed myself. "I mean it's not like he could of brought weapons on the plane and I didn't see him grab a handful when he went up there. Unless Wesley gave us all complementary swords under our pillow that I didn't know about." Then the sudden out burst felt like it was done and over with which probably made both Buffy and I extremely happy.

I started to walk forward making sure the coast was clear for our next turn. I'm sure Buffy would of done a better job at doing it but I'm her back-up for a reason and she needs me. If she didn't have me, she'd probably be dead on a street corner somewhere because.. Well She needs my help all the time and that's the only thing that really matters. As I got ready to turn my head to peek at the corner all I could see was horns, green skin and red eyes before I jump back and started to scream and so did the demon. However after realizing what I was screaming over, I was quick to feel completely stupid.

"Lorne?"

I asked as he slowly came into the light giving us a better look. Which if it wasn't him I'm sure the demons would of teleported right behind me, slicing their claws into my throat, leaving me to die in the hallway. Back to the grotesque way of thinking but it seemed to calm me down more. I turned to Buffy who looked a little mad that I put myself in danger but my awkward 'it's ok' smile seemed to make her turn the other way.
