Chapter 3: Two victims, One Day
By: Rika24
Tru woke up in her bed. She looked around at the familiar room and sighed. “Why did I just go back, Xander was killed last night, and so was that woman. There’s no way I can help them now.” Tru picked up her phone and decided to call Davis.
“Harrison, did you find him?” Davis asked over the phone.
“No ‘D,’ it’s me.” Tru said.
“Tru? Where have you been!” Davis shouted into the phone.
“What are you talking about? we just talked yesterday,” Tru said.
“No, oh wait, this is a do-over day isn’t it?” Davis replied.
“Yes and no, I ran into you yesterday. Today is the do-over day.”
“No, this is the first I’ve heard from you in a while.” Davis said, confusion clear in his voice.
“Davis, what’s today?” Tru asked.
“It’s Saturday.”
Tru sighed, “and here I thought I understood this power by now,” she mumbled to herself.
Davis heard what she said and began to worry, “What do you mean Tru, what’s wrong?”
“Yesterday I went to the morgue and was asked for help by two bodies, only that yesterday, was Sunday.”
“So you went back two days instead of one, interesting.” Davis said.
“Well I don’t find it interesting Davis!” Tru shouted into the phone, feeling frustrated. Davis was always interested in her powers, but his curiosity got on her nerves sometimes.
“Relax Tru, just treat today like you would any other do-over day. Who were the victims?”
“One was a friend of mine, Xander Harris, but I can handle that one easily. The second I have no clue about, all I know is what I read in the obituaries the next day about her.”
“The obituaries? That’d mean she died a few days, if not weeks ago, how could you help her now?”
“Davis, this is Sunnydale, here you pretty much have to expect the unexpected.” Then she realized something, Davis didn’t know what to expect out of Sunnydale, all he probably knew was that it was a small town.
“Tru, you still there?” Davis asked after she didn’t say anything else.
“Yeah I’m still here. Listen Davis, get Harrison and meet me at Harvard Avenue.”
“Sure, why?”
“Because yesterday you told me you saw her with Jack.”
“That’s not good.” Davis said “OK, I’ll meet you there, bye.”
First though, I have to warn Xander, Tru thought. She ran out the door and rushed over to the Magic Box.
“Wha morgue man, don’t do that.” Harrison said in surprise. He then realized what he said. “Hey, did you find Jack?”
“Sort of.”
“What do you mean ‘sort of’?” Harrison asked.
“I did, yesterday, or two days ago I mean.” Davis said. When he saw the clueless expression on Harrison’s face, he continued. “It’s a do-over day. Tru told me that I saw him with a woman today, err, you know what I mean.”
“Not really, but Tru’s here? Great, where is she?”
“She’s going to meet us, let’s get going.”
“So this is where you were hiding all this time.” A familiar voice said. Tru turned around to find her old rival, Jack Harper.
“You’re not going to kill either or them, I won’t let you.” Tru said confidently.
“Tru, Tru, didn’t I say this before, I don’t kill anyone. I just make sure those that die...”
“Die again.” Tru finished. “And that doesn’t mean killer to you?” Tru said in an annoyed voice.
“Faith, hurry up,” Buffy called from the entrance of the Magic Box. Tru turned to Buffy, then back at Jack.
“Don’t worry, she’ll be there in a minute,” Jack said as a twisted smile appeared on his face. When Buffy went back inside, Jack turned back to Tru. “Look who’s living a double life, do they know about your… abilities?” Jack asked.
“That’s none of your business.” Tru said sternly.
“So two bodies to save, looks like this might be my lucky day, you can’t save them both.”
“Oh I’ll save them both all right, then I'll personally take care of you.” Tru threatened.
“We’ll see about that.” Jack said as he backed away from her, he gestured a gun with his hands and said, “I’ll be seeing you... Faith.” With a smirk he turned and walked away.
Tru started for the Magic Box and then stopped in her tracks. I have an idea of when Xander dies, but what about that woman? We don’t know anything. Tru turned around, Jack was gone.
RING RING RING
Tru grabbed her cell phone. “Hey Davis, now is not a good time.” She said.
“Well we’re waiting on you Tru, you said you’d meet us, where are you?” Davis asked from inside Harrison’s car.
“I just ran into Jack, he seems pretty confident that we’ll fail this time.” Tru said with a little worry in her voice.
“Well he has reason to be.” Davis said with a sigh.
“What do you mean?” Tru asked.
“The death rate had gone up since you disappeared.” Davis said sadly.
“Don’t worry, these two won’t be a part of it.” Tru promised as she turned around and headed in the direction of the shop Davis originally saw the woman.
“You can just fill her in later then.” Giles said. “With this new Hellmouth forming in town, we can’t afford to dawdle.”
“So what can you tell us?” Kennedy asked.
“Turns out that two demons are responsible, one is a female vampire as Buffy had found out.” Giles continued. “However the other, I’m afraid, is unknown at the moment.”
Buffy looked around at her team and noticed that Xander was gone. “Where did Xander go?” As if on cue, Xander appeared from behind one of the bookcases. He didn’t look at the others though; he just headed straight for the door.
“Hey Xand, where do you think you’re going?” Buffy asked.
“I just got a call from a friend of mine, she’s in trouble.”
“Anything we can do?” asked Willow.
“Don’t worry I can handle it.” Xander said as he opened the door, he turned to them again, “I’ll be back in time for patrol.” With that he walked out, leaving the rest of the scoobies exchanging worried looks.
So what did you think? Who is Xander’s friend, who is the woman that will die, and who is the second demon that’s creating the new Hellmouth? I’ll hopefully be updating this very soon. The next chapter will be the last. Please Review.
