Title: Magic Doesn't Exist 27/100 TtH Prompt: #69 Spell Summary: Before Buffy has a chance to explain, more trouble appears on the horizon. Magic Doesn't Exist Cameron stopped and turned when he realized Buffy was no longer with them. She was standing in the middle of the alley with her head tilted to one side. “No stalling, Buffy.” “Hush,” she said. Her ears picked up some chanting nearby. “Someone is casting a spell.” “A spell? As in magic?” Cameron asked with a chuckle. “Yes, a spell,” she said, moving towards the direction the chanting was coming from. “Have you totally flipped?” Cameron asked. “There is no such thing as magic.” “Time to change your thinking,” Buffy said as she stopped next to a dumpster. She reached out and was suddenly knocked back by a purple spark. Daniel ran over to her and helped her sit up. “Are you alright?” “Yeah,” she said with a wince. “Whoever it is, is almost finished. I can’t stop them because of their shield. You guys need to leave, I’ll handle this.” “Like hell you are,” Cameron said. “I don’t know what’s going on, but we’re staying.” “Do I get a say in this?” Vala asked. “No, just go,” Buffy said, getting to her feet with Daniel’s help. “You don’t know what you’re up against. I do.” “Magic doesn’t exist. Someone has gotten hold of Goa’uld tech…” Cameron started. “No! I don’t have time to debate this. Magic is real, period. This is part of my destiny, not some alien stuff,” Buffy argued. Her senses tingled and she looked to see the air starting to shimmer just a few feet away. She shoved Daniel over to the others. “Now go! It isn’t safe for you!” “What the hell is that?” Cameron asked, pointing at the distortion. “It looks like some sort of wormhole, but I don’t see any technology creating it,” Vala said as a strange wind began to whip around them. “Run!” Buffy cried before she was sucked into the strange vortex. “She’s not getting out of her explanation that easily,” Cameron said, running towards it. “Mitchell!” Daniel yelled. He grabbed Vala’s hand as he felt them being pulled inexorably towards the strange phenomenon. “Don’t let go, Vala!” “Never!” A moment later the vortex winked out and a tall vampire stepped out from behind his shield into the empty alley. “See you later, lover.” Previous Chapter Buffygate Menu Next Chapter |
