A Change of Scenery - Previously Untitled
Fandom: BTVS and ATS
Title: Untitled
Rating: PG, later on it may become NC-17 but not yet.
Summary: Post Chosen the characters split themselves between the other Hellmouth and LA. In this chapter the interpretation of the events in Chosen is explained.
Prompt: Fire (eyesofthedemon), Colourless ( tamingthemuse)
Disclaimer: This is in no way mine. Are Spike and Xander under my bed??? No well I guess that means that Joss still has them and they belong to him. Most of the lines are directly from Chosen.
Paring: None in this chapter, various later on including, S/X, B/OC, F/We and others
Warnings: Slash, large age differences, possibility of smut, possibility of relationships involving people under the age of 18. I like Buffy but she might be bashed a little at the beginning but she will hopefully get a happy ending.
All he could feel was the fire, burning him from the inside out, it wasn’t painful but he knew that the flames were climbing up his body. That last moment of clarity before the Hellmouth started to cave in around him. “I love you.” Was the last thing he thought he would ever hear from another living being. He didn’t believe her, everything that had happened through the last few weeks the last minute confession seemed false. It would’ve been more sincere in that old house. He didn’t believe her but it still felt good to hear. At that point the flames intensified and the world went white.
When the town started to cave in on the Hellmouth they were still racing towards the edge of town. They barely made on the bus in time and Buffy was still sprinting behind them.
When they finally cleared the hole that used to be home Giles asked “What did this?”
“Spike.” Buffy answered.
“So did you see?” Xander asked Andrew with tears in his eyes.
“I... I was scared. I’m sor ry.” Andrew answered
“Did you see what happened?”
“She was incredible she died saving my life.”
“That’s my girl...always doing the stupid thing” Xan replied allowing a few of the tears to fall.”We saved the world.”
“We changed the world. I can feel them, Buffy. All over slayers are awakening everywhere.” Willow said with awe in her voice
“We’ll have to find them.” Dawn replied
“We will.” The witch said
“Yes, because the mall was actually in Sunnydale so there’s no hope of going there tomorrow.” Giles muttered
“We destroyed the mall? I fought on the wrong side.” Dawn replied in typical teenager fashion.
“All those shops, gone. The Gap, Starbucks, Toys R Us... who will remember all those landmarks unless we tell the world of them?” Xander replied sarcastically
“We have a lot of work ahead of us.” Giles said
“Can I push him in?” Faith asked
“You’ve got my vote.” Willow joked
“I want to sleep, yo. For like a week!” Faith yelled
“I guess we could, if we wanted to.” Dawn yawned
“Yeah, The First is scrunched so... what do you think we should do Buffy?”
“Yeah, you’re not the one and only Chosen anymore. Just gotta live like a person. How’s that feel?”
“Yeah, Buffy what are we going to do now?” Dawn asked.
In the bus on the way away from the crater that used to be Sunnydale Dawn and Xander sat in the back of the bus talking about what they wanted to do. They were the ‘normal’ people amongst the group. They had no magic, no powers and no special abilities. After the fight with Glory nothing came of Dawn being the key, there were no side effects no special abilities that had popped up. It seemed to them like they got the short end of the stick. They hung out with Slayers, witches, a vampire and a small army of girls with the training to take out an army of Ubervamps and there they were a one eyed carpenter and a teenage girl who once had the power to tear down the walls between realities but didn’t seem to have anything. They decided that they were going to get away from the group. Not their friends but the group as a whole. Dawn was18 years old and Xander was 23 and they decided that they would stick close together, neither of them had a whole lot of money saved up so they needed to depend on eachother. They were the two that were urged to leave the fight before the end. They no longer wanted to be considered weak so they were going to be strong and forge their own paths.
About an hour out of Sunnydale they stopped at a diner, Willow and Kennedy decided to stay in the bus and eat, I guess that the hungry and horny thing that Faith always talked about was true for Kennedy as well. While all the rest of the slayers were taking care of the HUNGER effects of the battle. Willow and Kennedy spent that time in their seat on the bus.
“Wow.” Said Willow pulling her shirt down and her straps back up.
“I know.” Kennedy replied breathlessly lunging towards the remainder of the massive order of food that was sitting on the seat across the aisle.
The heat from the fire intensified until there was nothing but the colourless flare of pure heat, this nothing went on forever until it just stopped the nothing that existed around him turned into the close up view of a plush carpet. He lifted his eyes towards the other figure in the room. “Bloody Hell” he thought to himself
AN. Any suggestions for a title? Also anyone willing to do some beta reading, even on a temporary chapter by chapter basis?
