"Nothing can last forever. There isn't any memory, no matter how intense, that doesn't fade out at last."

Paige's POV

The next few days went slowly for me.

Thinking, waiting, searching.

Waiting for the right moment.

The right moment to find help.

-

I had found Giles when I looked in the first place that I thought of.

I shouldn't have been surprised, I mean, he was in his natural element.

It was a place had spent a good majority of his days in.

That is, until it got destroyed.

I speak of course, of the library inside Sunnydale High.

I had waited until the last bell had rang, and proceeded to sneak (okay, run wildly) into the high school building.

I ran so fast that I collided with someone.

It was Snider, the principal of the high school.

I didn't have any time to waste, so I just yelled "SORRY!!" And continued to run. He yelled back something about my generation being a disgrace.

I burst through the library doors, pretty hysterical.

"GILES!!"

I heard a gasp, and turned to see Giles drop the book that he was holding.

He looked at me, eyes wide. "Good lord, what is the matter?"

I ran up to him. "Rupert Giles, thank goodness you're here! I'm Paige," I extended my hand out for him to shake, which he took, confused. "I need your help!"

The fears that Giles might not have been very bright gripped me again. I decided to make sure he was still smart.

"What's two plus two?"

"Four..."

"Two hundred plus eight hundred?"

"One thousand-"

"Twelve thousand plus seven thousand?"

"Nineteen thousand." He looked at me, curiously frowning.

"Oh thank GOD, you're not an idiot!" I let out a sigh of relief, and flopped in the chair nearest to me.

I looked around. "So this is the famous Sunnydale high library. Hm."

I spun around in the chair as Giles spoke again.

"May I ask just who you are and why you're here?" He crossed his arms.

My face fell again as it all came rushing back. I sighed again.

"Have a seat and grab a book, 'cause you're gonna be here a while."

A/N: TBH I don't really like the length of this chapter, but I need to get to the next ones. And here's a new thing, comment and vote, it gets updates faster!!
