It was like being in that damn container all over again. Again, my little sister was going to do something that was going to get her killed and there was nothing I could do about it.
Like hell.
"It won't come to that, Maya," I said.
"How do you...?" She began.
"Because i won't let it," I said. If was anymore sure, you'd think I could see the future. "I'm not letting that happen again, maya. Sure, I fetched some of my stuff from my bad old days. Not a lick of it's dark magic."
"What?"
"Francois was dangerous, not stupid," I said. "The guns and bullets are blessed, so's the knife, with a few banishment spells for good measure. The jackets just standard armour toughened by some Dwarven runes. the glasses are, for lack of a better term, mystical nightvision, among a few others," I gripped her shoulder gently. "I'm not letting you put yourself in danger like this, Mai. I'm not doing this again."

"You dont get a choice." I said quietly. "If it comes to the point where it's necessary, I will use it. To save Aila, Josh, you... the whole damned world... 'losing' me is nothing. And you will not be able to stop me."
"Willow..." He began.
"Not even she can." I replied, cutting him off, "Its one of those deals where you cant stop its effects without having it there in your hand." i smirked, "an' ive hidden it with a spell taht means even the greatest wicca cant find it unless i tell her where it is. I knew you'd find out, Doc. So i prepared."
"Damn it Mai i am not letting you die!" He cried.
"It wont kill me." I replied calmly. "Or probably not, anyway." I looked away from him, "Thats not what we need to worry about..." I swallowed. I wondered if i would ever have the strength to admit how scared i was, or to ask of him the task he might have to carry out if... "You wont lose me that way." I finished instead.

"Mai," I began, then gave a sad smile. "You're a stubborn ass, you know that? Alright, do what you have to. But if something happens, so help me, I'm pulling you back, kicking and screaming if I have to."

I smiled, a genuine smile, and flung my arms around his neck.
"Thank you." I whispered as we hugged.

"Anytime," I whispered back. "Now, anything else that needs doing? Anyone need flaying or anything?"

"Not that i know of." I chuckled, "but we have about five days til hell on earth, so theres always plenty of prep to do. I'm gonna pick Aila up from school- we're going to the magic shop to work on some defence techniques... I just want to be sure she can..."
"I know." Doc cut me off with a sad smile.
"I cant wait til this is all over." I sighed.

"You and me both," I sighed. "Looks like I can't put it off anymore."
"Put what off?" She asked.
"One last phone call."

"To who?" I asked straight out.

I smiled at her.
"Nothing bad," I said. "Well, mostly. When Des and me went with Master Wong, there were three others already training with him. Dark pasts, like ours. There's Daniel, a Gorgon. Apparently Medusa's son," Maya's eyes bulged as I continue. "Michelle, a Potential from France...guess she's a full fledged Slayer now. And then there's Gargant."
"Do I want to know what he was?"
"A Golem," I said. "An intelligent Golem. No one really knows how that happened, but it did. Hard to find anyone more loyal, though."

I rolled my eyes,
"My brother is so modest." I teased.

"Modest, nothing," I said, slipping back to normal. "You should see these guys work. Trust me, it's a work of art. Except for Garg. He's more like the work of a steamroller."

(((You don't mind me jumpin in, right?)))
I crouched on a nearby rail (metal pole thing... can't explain it) listening in, using my shadow power to cloud my prescence and my thoughts.
'5 days?' I thought, 'hell on earth?'
I looked back inside, the two were hugging.
'It's just like the prophesy!' I was dumbstruck, 'no... it can't be, it's too early, that's not meant to happen for a while, unless...'
I shook my head. 'No, impossible.' I thought.
I moved closer to the wall, avoiding the window, staying in the shadow of the floor of the varandah above.
This was very very interesting. But it brought a lot of questions, such as, how would they know that an entire race of demons were to attack? How would they know when? How would they know what was to happen? It was as if they were writing the proficy themelves.
What I did know though, was that I needed to see what whatever the girl had gotten from the lady was.

I chuckled, and sat on my bed while Doc made the call.
(( C, just remember that noone can find what she got, or magickally retrieve it from the hiding place or ANYTHING unless Maya tells them where it is- kinda like the fidelis charm in HP.))
