A vampire approaches her and growls. Angel: It's too late. Aurelius wrote of the Anointed One, 'The Slayer will not know him, and he will lead her into Hell.' Buffy is frozen with fear. But prophecies are tricky creatures. I quit! Master: Soon! On me! Once the Master gets free, the Hellmouth opens, the demons come to party, and everybody dies. They lean against the door. Tomorrow night Buffy will face the Master, and she will die.
