Anya the Bunny Slayer

Into each generation, there is a Chosen one sent to fight the fuzzies and hoppy demons. She is the Slayer...

The Sunnydale High...

"C'mon, Darla...don't be a chicken!" the lanky teenager urges, dragging his companion by her arm. "I'm telling you I heard something!" Darla hissed back.

"Okay, okay, okay...I'll check out."

"Thanks, Gabe!"

The lanky teenager rolls his eyes and turns away from his date. He begrudgingly trudges forward and looks into the long and empty hallway by him. "Anyone there?" the boy called out. Silence answered his question. "Well, I checked it out--there's nothing. Happy now?" Gabe says with a sarcastic tone.

Behind him, Darla smiles malevolently. Her face transforms into a terrible visage of bunny. Her pink nose twitches as she leans into Gabe's shoulder. "Perfectly happy." Darla sings sweetly. Then she bites down on her victim's neck. A scream is heard coming from Gabe but the deafening silence of empty Sunnydale High drowns it out...

Deep inside the dark corridor, multiple voices are heard chanting, "The Master will rise and the skies will tear apart" over and over. Anya Jenkins, stake held tight in her hand and her back close to the cathedral's wall, walks slowly so not to alert the bunnies of her presence. Upon reaching her destination, she sees a pool filled with blood and several bunnies surrounding it. Her hopes of a quick victory is dashed when the bunnies suddenly turns around and looks directly at Anya... Their mouths twist into terrible grins, sharp buckteeth glinting in the candlelight. Anya's heart leaps into her mouth; she briefly wonders to herself 'But I was so careful...how did they know?'

"Hello, my dear. You look so pretty today," a voice softly murmurs behind her. Anya jumps and spins around, ready to attack the voice's owner. "You!" she barks out, her eyes widening. A leather-clad man stands with his hands clasped behind his back, grinning at her. His long ears twitch as if to response to excitement in the air. His red eyes narrowing, the bunny-man leans into Anya's face. She cringes from the terrible breath coming from the ancient demon's blood-stained mouth, it reeked of death. "You need a breath mint. I have some; they are quite useful in combating bad breaths caused by plaques, which incidentally results from food and drinks..." Anya replies helpfully. The Master pauses, taken aback by her spunkiness. "I would think my breath is the least of your worries. After all, you will die and I will rise..." the ancient demon softly murmurs. Upon hearing the words, Anya freezes.

"No..."

"You will die and I will rise."

"No!" The cathedral's floor begins to quake.

"You will die and I will rise."

"NO!"

"Yes, you have to get up! It's time for school, honey."

"NO...huh?"

Anya opens her eyes to see her mother, her hands on her shoulder; she was shaking her awake. Blinded by the sunlight pouring into the bedroom, Anya closes her eyes and sighs. "Are you okay, sweetie?" her mother asks worriedly. Anya nods and sighs again. "It's just a nightmare brought on by my unconscious self due to the apprehension I'm currently undergoing because of the school year beginning anew."

"Ah, Anya, you'll be fine. As long as you don't burn down the gym or something..."

"I distinctly remember telling you this before but I will repeat this again: There was an onslaught of bunnies...never mind."

Joyce Jenkins sits down by Anya's side, a hand reaching out to stroke her daughter's hair. She smiles before saying, "Don't worry...we've moved to Sunnydale for a reason. We're starting our lives again, together. It'll be better this time around, dear." Anya opens her eyes and looks up at her mother's face. She truly is a beautiful woman...soft curly hair framing her petite face. Her wide hazel eyes express her adoration for her daughter, her pretty lips curved upwards in a gentle smile. She looks just like an angel...I'm so lucky to have her as my mother. "What is it, sweetie?" Joyce curiously asks. "Nothing. I love you, Mother." Anya quickly reassures her mother.

"Aww, I love you too, honeybunch. But you're still going to school, so get your butt out of the bed, young lady!"

"Okay, Mother! I'll get up and prepare myself for the impeding doom..."

Joyce chuckles softly and walks out of the bedroom. Anya rolls her eyes, sighing. You will die and I will rise... She frowns at the memory of the words being chanted over and over by the bunnies. She quickly shakes the words out of her head and gets out of her bed to ready herself for the impeding doom.

Well, guys? What do you think of this so far?
