Lend me your fire, so I can burn

It takes more than one taboo to build a perfect freak

Words to a song she couldn’t really hear drifted through her senses, until it slowly faded away and there she was, alone in a place she shouldn’t be.

The streets were empty, no birds, dogs or cats. There was no one in the cars. It was as if everyone had just left what they were doing and just vanished. The thing that scared her most was that there was no sound, it was as if you had the TV on but had pushed mute.

Cordy spun around in the spot hoping to spot something, someone. Anything. She stopped suddenly and turned back as something yellow and red caught her eye. Finally there was someone, it was a young blonde in a cheerleaders outfit. The girl’s eyes were wet with unshed tears as she mouthed ‘I’m sorry’.

The seer frowned this was not like any vision she had before; last thing she remembered was going to sleep. Something else moved in the corner of her eye there was an older blonde but something was wrong, the way her facial expressions changed it was as if she were two different people, next to her was a man and boy. The way they were holding each other they were obviously a family.

A man she recognised he had been in the papers a lot, trying to get elected walked forwards but not to her, none of them were looking at her but beyond.

Cordy slowly turned around and standing there was a young man, his fringe nearly covering one eye completely but what she read in them was total fear. His eyes started to glow red, he raised his hands and fire came from him. The pain was etched all over his face; he screamed a silent scream as he exploded into flames. She could feel the heat on her skin getting closer. She opened her mouth to scream.

*****

Cordy sat up in bed covered in sweat; a Japanese voice ran around her head she knew what she had to do.

****

Angel and the gang were worried about Cordy she hadn’t shown up for work, not answering her home or cell phone. With the line of business they were in it was better to be safe than sorry.

The vampire knocked on the door, it opened but no Cordy in sight.

“Thank you Dennis.” Fred said politely.

A piece of paper fluttered up and landed in Angel’s open hand.

All it said was:

Save the cheerleader, save the world.

The End
