Haddyn: 200 years in the Future (Day Three)

And so our heroes have broken up into smaller groups.

One to rescue Dawn and stop Harth from whatever he had planned.

The other to protect the Watcher building and allow Willow to cast her spell.

The vamp dusted. One or two of the others looked at each other and at Dawn again, as if reconsidering.

"The One Who Will Lead is not here," one offered. "He's the one you should be after."

"You mean Harth?" Sam asked, smirking slightly. "There are other people taking care of him right now. I'm here for my girlfriend."

Dawn was bloody, probably in shock, and unwillingly starting an apocalypse, but that didn't stop her from gleeing internally at Sam fighting to get to her.

"KICK HIS UNDEAD ASS, SAM! AIM FOR THE THROAT AND USE WOOD!" She paused. "Then run like hell, because this isn't going to be pretty." It would be better if he didn't have to watch her die.

From the balcony above (http://community.livejournal.com/fh_trips/17709.html?thread=3120429#t3120429), a blur of a furry body and a small human flies through the air and crashes into the ceremonial site below, narrowly missing Dawn and Sam.

The Monkey makes an "eeping" type noise as it begins to beat up Harth and smash some of the artifacts around the ritual area.

Harth rose from the ground slowly and saw the spider monkey begin to bash one relic in particular.

"NO! DON'T! YOU'll-"

There was a flash of light from the center of the vortex/portal. A pink and scaly tentacle tore through the ground and grabbed both Harth and the monkey in it's grip before pulling it into the void.

Harth and the monkey were still screaming when the void suddenly sealed itself with a loud pop which was followed by a shaking of the building...

And then nothing.

Sam had ducked when the monkey and Harth crashed the site, protecting himself instinctively from the things getting smashed, and thankfully, from the tentacle. There was nothing but silence for a few moments after the building stopped shaking, and Sam tried to figure out what the hell had just happened, before remembering why he was really there.

"Dawn?" he said. "Still with me?"

"I'd like to be cut down now," Dawn told him, looking hopeful. The doubts and questions and issues Harth had raised were firmly in the back of her mind, to be dealt with...never. God, her head and wrist hurt now that she wasn't focused on the end of the world. "And maybe go home?"

Sam laughed softly, and pulled out his knife again. "Yeah, I think it's time we went home too." He carefully cut the ropes at her legs first, before slipping his arm around her waist as much as he could, and freeing her arms. "I've got you," he said, almost as much for his own benefit as to console Dawn.

Dawn clung to Sam like a clinging thing, keeping her swollen and bruised wrist out of the way as much as she could.

Sam was completely happy to cling back and not let go. "Are you all right? Are you hurt? Did he hurt you?"

Re: Harth's Lair: Rescuing Dawn...

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-07-21 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Not quite ready to talk about it, Dawn nodded into his shoulder.

Sam felt a flare of anger at not getting the chance to go after Harth, to hurt him for whatever he'd done to Dawn, and he just hoped that wherever he'd ended up, that it would be punishment enough. "I'm sorry," he said, clinging a little tighter. "I'm so sorry."

Re: Harth's Lair: Rescuing Dawn...

"Why?" Sam hadn't done anything leading up to this or to her, after all. "You saved me."

"But I didn't protect you," Sam replied. "And it took so long to find you. I should have kept you safe somehow."

"You didn't know. You couldn't have known," she told him, still clinging. "This is so not your fault."

Sam sighed, but nodded. It would have been one thing if he'd been with her when she'd been taken, but he hadn't - and he wasn't going to be making that mistake again any time soon. "We should get out of here, get back to the Watcher's Headquarters and make sure everyone else is okay. Can you walk? I can carry you if that would be easier."

"I think I can walk, kinda, but I'm a little dizzy," she confided. Getting two concussions in one weekend tended to do that. "I feel like a real Watcher now."

"Okay, no walking then," Sam said, bending down just enough to scoop Dawn up into his arms. "Are head injuries part of the Watcher initiation?"

Re: Harth's Lair: Rescuing Dawn...

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-07-22 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Dawn wrapped her arms around Sam's neck and clung as tightly as she could. "I don't know about initiation, but Giles gets them all the time."
likethegun: (i'm listening to you)

"I'd tell you to tell him that you've started following in his footsteps, but that would mean explaining what happened here, and I don't think that would end well," Sam replied as he carried her out of the room. "What happened to your wrist?" he asked, trying to sound casual, and not as worried as he felt.

"Harth broke it," she told him reluctantly.

"I really, really wish I'd gotten a chance to hurt him," Sam said regretfully.

Re: Harth's Lair: Rescuing Dawn...

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-07-22 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Is he dead? Is anyone hurt?"

Re: Harth's Lair: Rescuing Dawn...

[personal profile] likethegun 2007-07-22 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't know if he's dead. I'd like to imagine that getting sucked into that portal was painful though. Everyone else is all right though, as far as I know."

"Sucked into a portal?" Dawn asked, glancing back at where she'd been hanging. "Sam...I don't know if I can go. If this opens, I--I have to be the one to end it. No one else can."
