:::Update 33:::Departure:::
Buffy gave a sisterly hug to Pia, taking her under her wing had been an honour to train a fellow sister into this new way of life not to mention how much her heart swelled in pride to see a scared girl blossom into a fearless tigress ready to rake anyone down. Buffy was impressed by how Pia had shown the watchers, that Pia didn't need them and was doing fine on her own with actual pros at fighting vampires. Pia in return showed her gratitude on having an older sister showing her the ropes and in effect helping her tame Abhay. She'd observed Buffy's tumultuous relationship with Angel and it gave her hope 2 different species can be together defying the laws of nature. It gave her courage knowing she wasn't alone in this.
Buffy brimming with emotion parted her lips with a half hearted smile-I'm going to miss your zest for life and those deep brown eyes. Its always hard saying goodbye but i promise we'll be friends for life. I'll stay in contact a call away from U. Whenever U need help i'm there. Even if its to fight your arrogant boyfriend of yours. (Whispers in her ear) Don't ever let him win is the tricks. U always stay on top of him. Dominate him and you'll never lose. (Shed's tears) Even slayers have the off day. Whoever says big girls don't cry don't know what their talking about.
Pia understood all too well about her vampire lover and how to manage him. She'd have to whip him into shape-I'll miss U too. Its strange how fast we've bonded. Nothing like killing vampires as an ice breaker. U take care of Angel.
Angel kissed Pia's cheek-Watch over yourself Kid! Whenever U want me i'm there.
Pia returned the kiss back and asked for him to take care of Buffy-Thanks again for training me. I'll never forget U guys.
The watcher remained silent observant of how a slayer and vampire could even co-exist together and how they could help Pia. He had relayed this in his briefing to the council in London on his blackberry watching Buffy and Angel leave.
Arnab's eyes darkened on witnessing how sloppy Pia was getting emotionally allowing such being to dampen her spirit completely disapproving of Pia's relationship with a vampire-Pia, i don't want U dating a vampire let alone befriend him. The council oppose such a relation after the way Buffy and Angel's own relationship ended. I don't want a repeat of this with U.
Pia rolled her eyes-I don't care Papa. Abhay and i aren't Buffy and Angel. Its too late anyway for me to listen to U. I've already lost myself to him. He's my world. If i can't have him then i don't want to be a slayer. Do U hear me? I never chose this life. I am only doing this for him. (Gives a quick glance towards the watchers) They blackmailed me into this so i play ball. I'm not going to turn my back on my lover. Not for anyone. Not even for U. Buffy and Angel have patched up their differences now is what counts. Abhay and I just can't get away from each other. We always come back to each other. (To the watchers) U so much as breath near him i'll break your neck. U know the deal.
The Watcher assures Pia he will hold his end of the bargain-Pia, I may not approve of this liaison but i won't jeopardise our cause. We have a bigger war to fight than your personal issues.
Pia smugly smiles-Good.
Arnab resisted sounding off bellowing-Abhay will be the death of U. I won't allow my daughter to have a live in relationship with him. What will people say?
Pia shot back-Then let him. I embrace death if it means a moment of happiness with him. People talk let them i don't care.
Arnab was furious with his daughters flimsy agitated response sounding irresponsible to the families reputation-We have an image to uphold.
Pia chided in the heat of the moment-Like what? Panchi sleeping with every guy she meets.
Arnab slapped Pia across the cheek only to feel guilty-I'm sorry!!!
Pia had tears in her eyes-No i'm sorry. I didn't realise they'd be double standards in this household. What U can have an affair behind Mom's back, Panchi can shame this family but with my its a whole other rule. U can kiss seeing me here goodbye. I'm leaving for good.
Arnab tried to stop Pia but she'd already left him...out the dorr.
Misha had heard all the commotion running downstairs and so did Panchi running out the door shouting from behind-Pia U can't leave.
Pia fumed in rebellion-Oh watch me!!!!! Dad thinks he can control me, who i see, Just because i turn a blind eye to his misgivings, its not my fault i've been a good daughter but once i develop a backbone and stand up for what i believe in i get shot down. He's always favoured U both over me. Oh he shut me up with a credit card but i don't belong here. I'm not the shallow girl any more. Abhay's changed me. Bye girls.
Misha a little alarmed was concerned where Pia...-You're going to Abhay.
Pia nodded-U girls mean everything to me but so does he. I'll never ditch him. If i can't have him i don't want anything. Misha, Panchi U are both my sisters and always will be. Panchi i didn't mean...
Panchi understood-I know.
Pia left to face Maithali in the woods feeling very exposed. She was literally shaking out of anger-What the hell do U want?
Maithali rasped in anger-Power!!! You're Power.
Pia smirked fully confident in her own powers-Come and get it b***h.
Both women began fighting each other one on one. It was a power struggle. Pia hadn't anticipated how powerful Maithali was on her own but she was joined by Xena. A witch with Slayer powers. Pia had slight trepidation but Abhay was what kept her going. Pia mustered as much power from within her fending off both villainous women keeping her eyes firmly on their every move. Pia had enough anger to fuel her to keep going and directed it towards them not letting it corrupt her goal. Pia blocked their every move but it was their magical powers she'd struggled with countering it was next to impossible. Pia wasn't gifted with magic so how did one overcome this dilemma?
Abhay had already sensed Pia was in trouble and went into his protective mode to shield Pia from them. Sid intervened in this fight only angering Abhay further. Bonnie and Damon were their helping hand protecting Pia from their magical attacks on Pia. Bonnie started chanting a binding spell to contain both the womens wiccan powers in chek so it was a fair fight. Damon folded his arms sitting down watching the girl on girl action. He always found it was arousing to watch women fight it out. Bonnie glared at Damon. He shrugged his shoulders.
Klaus had Elena in his grap smirking at her darkly slashing her wrist taunting her-U didn't really think i wouldn't find out U were still alive? Stefan will pay for this but before he does i must create an army of comrades. (Brings out Jeh) U want to live then i suggest U drink from her.
Jeh was weak drank from Elena so he may live cured of this disease-How is this possible?
Klaus gladly shared the secret-The missing key was Elena. Oh i think i'll take a few bags worth of this girls blood to make me an army of hybrids.
Elena winced filling with tears-U think you've won?
Klaus bleated on-I have won i have what i need. Your blood was vital to my plans. Stefan will find my army will overwhelm him. Don't worry i won't kill U but i can threaten your family. So U behave then it means i spare your family.
Elena fought back-Leave Stefan let him go please. He's already lost to his addiction.
Klaus mused-I know. He is a brilliant little killer but he's betrayed me. I don't forgive those who let me down.
Abby, Bonnies Mother knew the location of finding Klaus's Mother entombed in a sarcophagus preserved so she could destroy Klaus and her own lineage was a secret kept hidden from the world even from Klaus. Unfortunately Abby had paid a hefty price for keeping this secret by being enslaved in the coffin for 15 years. Now she was free she had to finsih this job. Stefan had taken out the daggers out of both Abigail, Elijah's hearts wakening them from their deep sleep. It was time they saw their mother. Stefan knew his time was up not that he cared for his life. No he simply wanted revenge and his freedom without involving Elena or Damon. This was his fight alone. He had to be smarter. Klaus would know what he'd unleashed by then he'd scupper away to find the missing links. Stefan was counting on Rebecca's devotion to his love and her undying love for her mother to join him in his quest meaning faking his love for her longer but it would be worth it.
Rebecca in Stefan's arms excited at the prospect of reuniting with their mother-I know Klaus will be angry but he killed Mom. I just hope the witch is right and Moms still among us.
Stefan with Abby asked her to lead the way-The floors all yours.
Elijah and Abigail were eagerly waiting to meet their brother. They wanted answers. This was going to be interesting to watch.
The Council had dispersed their secret missiles fearing their new slayer was wandering off course. They wanted to control her any way they could.
