What happens next?

Buffy escapes -- and gets captured

One moment, the towel was moving toward Buffy's head. The next, it passed over her thanks to some quick ducking on Buffy's part and her attacker's lousy aim.

But it seemed only a matter of time before Buffy's luck ran out and she got hit. So she had to get out of the shower room fast and find a safe hiding place.

She looked around for an empty space, then dodged around the other girls until she was out of the shower room and in the locker room.

Now what? thought Buffy.

Even if Buffy could get to her locker, there seemed to be no way that she could open it. And even if she could open it, wouldn't the clothes inside be too big to fit her? Heck, she'd be lucky if she could even lift them.

While Buffy stood there, trying to figure out her next move, a giant hand swooped down and grabbed her around the waist. The next thing she knew, she was more than a few feet off the floor and her legs were dangling in mid-air.

She tried to scream for help but her voice was so high she could not be sure anyone even heard her.

Then she heard a voice like thunder say in an odd tone, "Buffy?"

And Buffy found herself being turned around to face her captor -- a giantess whose face was all too familiar to Buffy's eyes.
