Drabble: Strange How the Knight Moves
Title: Strange How the Knight Moves
Author: Quaggy
Word Count: 100
Last line prompt: “Think very carefully about your next move.”
Notes: I couldn't resist the pun on the Bob Seger song for the title.
“Think very carefully about your next move,” Giles cautioned.
Buffy huffed in aggravation and stared at the chessboard. She didn’t need the reminder. She knew she was in trouble and Giles’s grin confirmed it. He claimed that playing chess would sharpen her ability to think strategically, but privately she suspected that he liked it because he could beat her this way without taking a physical beating in the process. But wait… If she took her knight and moved it…
“CHECK!!!”
She may not have the upper hand for long, but it was worth it for the look on Giles’s face.
