skieblueHere is chapter six of The Prophecy. And I have decided to put this story at fanfiction.net as well as here in my lj.
Chapter Six : The Sorzar
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" A female voice called out in a bit of an agitated tone
"The contact."
"Enter."
The contact entered the office.
"Please sit down."
He sat.
"Now, we have a business proposition for you, Roth."
"Oh. And what would that be?"
"Well.... there is a certain.... problem that I would like to be disposed of."
"A problem? I assume this problem is a person you need me to go after?"
"You are very perceptive. I like that. Yes, I want him to be...lets just say I don't want him to see another sunrise."
"Oh. Well, can you give me anymore information, miss?"
"Miss? Does the fact that I am a woman bother you? Because I assure you, I am not the nicest woman around. I am an evil, sadistic bitch. I suggest you don't get on my bad side Roth. I can assure that you will not like being the victim."
"Well, my request for more information still stands."
"His name is Wesley Wyndam-Pryce and he works with Angelus at Angel incorporated over at the Hyperion. You have 48 hours don't mess this up."
"Okay. You know that standard procedure for my services, I assume?"
"Yes, you get half now, and the other half after the job has been completed."
"Okay. I see you've been informed."
"I do my homework Roth, now I suggest you go and get the job done before somebody else gets it. The money is waiting for you outside that door, my secretary will show you out."
"Pleasure doing business with you," he said sarcastically.
"Yes, I'm sure. Now get out, before I change my mind."
He got out.

Cordy walked into the room, book in hand, "I found this but...I'm not sure if it will help."
"Anything will do." Wesley said.
"What did you find?" Calyna asked.
"Umm... just some sort of information on a place called Mithgar? I think that's the name of it."
"Oh. I've heard of it. That's where some of the people who helped us in the War of the Anachron came from."
"Well, according to this, there's a way to get to some sort of portal." Wesley answered
"Yes. I believe that was how they came to Arda during the war. There's a portal from this world to there, too, and it might not be watched."
"So then it is the best route." He began to jot down some notes in a notebook, rather quickly.
"It might be dangerous, though. That is where Black Mages come from. And they have Foul Folk, although so does Arda."
"So either way, there is danger. It's a challenge and I am always up for a challenge."
"And, it's possible that portal wouldn't be watched."
"Okay then, so the question is...when do we go?"
"Soon, I think, before anyone can set watch on the portal."
"Good we will leave straight away then."
"I don't think so," a voice said.
They all turned.
A cloaked figure stood just inside the doorway, at the top of the small flight of stairs.
Wesley stood, "Can I help you?"
"Actually, you can."
"Really how is that?"
"Well, you're the reason I came here." As he said this, Roth raised his hands, calling power to himself in preparation to cast a spell.
Wesley saw what was going on and knew he was in trouble. He closed his eyes in preparation for the blow, protection barrier forming
Power flew from the Sorzar's hands, power that was intended to kill its target.
Some how with the barrier almost completely formed but not quite, it passed through, but at doing so it diminished the force and strength of the spell. He was hit. He stumbled backwards. "Bugger! HE wants to kill me!" HE closed his eyes again and began t0o draw on the mans energy force and the barrier became stronger
Roth felt his target drawing on power from him, and tried to cut of the power conduit, so as not to lose power to his target. Then, he sent another stronger blast of power toward the barrier, hoping to break through it this time.
The power was drawn into the barrier, partly made stronger by the strangers oh energy, and stabilized it.
The Sorzar reached out again, through his power, this time trying to draw power from the barrier, and weaken it.
The barrier flickered and sent out a string of lightning that hit the Sorzar.
The Sorzar managed to block much of the lightning, although not all, and sent it back towards the barrier.
The barrier sucked it in and began to grow.
The Sorzar sent a dissolving spell toward the barrier.
When the spell hit it was absorbed. The spell began to dissolve and dissect the interior and inner workings of the barrier.
Wesley flinched and let go of his hold on it
The Sorzar sent a lightening bolt towards Wesley.
Wesley lifted his hands the power bounced off an invisible barrier and hit a wall and almost chopped off Angel's head
"Wesley!"
"Sorry."
"Maybe we should get out of the way," Calyna said.
They nodded in agreement and went to watch from the lobby
The Sorzar once again focused his power, and sent a spell that was similar to the Cruciatus Curse used by the death eaters.
Wesley moved out of the way and hit the floor. A loud thump could be heard. "Oh bugger!"
Immediately the Sorzar sent the spell again.
He rolled away and hid behind a bookcase
The Sorzar walked forward, and sent another spell towards him.
He tried to move again but wasn't fast enough, it hit his right foot.
The Sorzar smiled and sent another spell.
Wesley stood and started to hop to some nearby shelter
The Sorzar sent another spell, this one the same spell he had sent at first. The killing spell.
Wesley shouted, "No." and nothing happened
The Sorzar tried to send the spell again.
Wesley closed his eyes hands raised and a ball of power formed. He aimed at the Sorzar, it hit, and the Sorzar vanished.
Wesley falls on his butt
Angel came in and lifted him up
"What happened?"
"Foot temporarily paralyzed."
"Well let's get you seated."
While this had been going on, Calyna had decided to see if a suspicion she kind of had was correct. She looked at the spot were the Sorzar had stood for most of the fight, and found something. "I think I may have found a clue," she said.
"What is it? Can I see?"
"It's a pendant with the initials WH on it," Calyna said, bringing it over to the others.
"Wolfram and hart, I should've known."
"That means your sister probably knows your identity by now."
"Yup, which means we need to move quickly, because that goon probably heard every word we said." Angel answered
"We need to plan a little more than take our leave."
"And we need to arrange to travel to the portal," Calyna said.
"So why don't we travel to the portal tomorrow and then we can plan some more on the way."
"Okay."
"For now lets have a night cap and gets some rest."
"I think I'll just go get some rest," Calyna said. She wasn't feeling very sociable at the moment, and traveling to Mithgar upset her, because that was Kris' home.
"Well have a good night, we will see you in the morning. Sleep tight. And don't worry it gets easier. If you need to talk girl talk I am here for you."
"Okay. Thanks." Calyna left the room and went up the stairs.
"Well Cordy, shall we?"
"We shall."
They went up to bed and all was left in the dark
~*~
Wesley started to toss and turn, the same nightmare kept reoccurring over and over in his mind. Finally he got up and he was drenched in sweat. He went downstairs to the kitchen to get a drink
"Wesley what are you doing awake?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"I couldn't sleep either."
"Okay well since you can't sleep and I can't sleep lets have some tea."
Cordy sat down at the table and folded her hands.
"Why couldn't you sleep?" She asked quietly.
He froze, "Oh n o reason...I just couldn't."
"Wesley.... I...know you a little better than that. You can tell me. Why couldn't you sleep?"
" I am having nightmares. No thanks to that thing...."
"I'm sorry.... what were they about?"
"I would rather not discuss it. It is a rather touchy subject."
"Well you need to tell somebody. If you don't it will keep eating away at you."
He sat down with the tea in his hands, and placed one in front of her
"Cordy...you really don't know when to stop pushing a subject do you?"
"Sorry. I just want to help.... I mean if I don't somebody else will."
"They were about you." He said rather quickly.
"What was that I really didn't catch that."?"I said that ...their about you."
"What about me?"
"You keep being murdered over and over and over, right in front of my eyes. It's awful, I couldn't...I cant imagine life without you. You are my sunshine.... I couldn't get day to day without you."
"I don't know what to say. I don't know what you're trying to say."
"I am saying that I love you. I don't know exactly how long I will have the courage but I love you."
Cordy was silent for a few moments.... "Wesley...I ...I love you too. I don't think I realized it until this exact moment. But I do, I love you."
Wesley turned to her, looked into her eyes and they ended up in a kiss.
