Hey peeps, this is my first Buffy fic, so be nice!!! It's just, I liked the
musical Buffy soooooo much, I decided to make another one, for season
seven. Of course I can't right my own songs, so I've used songs by various
artists that I think kinda fit, and would sound good sung by the person
I've picked. It is different from the original, but not entirely different.
You'll see what I mean. Anyway, this chappy's just an introductory, but the
music doesn't start yet. Next chapter, yes, hopefully music then. But here
and now I present to you Chapter one (of about eleven - it's gonna be a
short story), of my very own musical Buffy - The Music of the Night. Well,
here's Number one.
Chapter One - The Beginning
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The attack was sudden. Vampires rushed at them from all sides. Buffy, Xander, Willow, Dawn, and Giles - they stood in the middle of it all, fighting. The vampires came, wave after wave, turning to dust after cloud of dust. Xander, Willow and Giles fought side by side, Dawn huddled against the wall. Buffy, she was the center. Fighting, as they did every night, over and over. Fighting for their lives. At least, four of them were.
The onslaught continued, but Buffy just wasn't with it. Sure, vampires were dusting everywhere, Buffy's body mechanically throwing punches and kicks this way and that. But none of it mattered to her now. Her mind, her heart? No, they were somewhere else altogether.
Why did you have to go? she thought. Surrounded by a fresh cloud of dust, Buffy stopped, lost in the memories of happier times.
'Buffy!! Behind you!' Willow screamed as a vamp rushed at Buffy from behind. She swung a disheartened back-kick at the vampire, staking him while still lost in thought. Xander, Willow and Giles stood staring at Buffy - they just couldn't understand. She'd been like this for weeks, even months, hardly saying a word. She'd just wandered around, lost in a daydream, eating little, sleeping little, and saying almost nothing. Something was really wrong.
The three companions didn't have time to ponder, as a fresh bout of vamps attacked them from the side. The number of vampires was dwindling, as the vamps were rookies, not very strong. But there is some strength in numbers, and the gang were having a bit of a hard time. But they were down to the last ten.
Why, why did you go, I, I miss you. Buffy thought, easily dusting two vamps, as the others struggled with six more. But did Buffy rush to help? No. She just stood there, catatonic, too wrapped up in her own depressed little bubble to notice, or even care.
Two more vampires attacked Dawn, who had been standing helpless in the corner, watching in disbelief.
'Buffy!! Heeeelp!!!' she screamed, as the vampires easily held her down, baring her neck, lowering in for the kill. Not even then could Buffy be moved. As still as a statue she stood, staring into space. No, she was lost. Meanwhile, Xander saw Dawn's predicament.
'Dawn! Buffy, Buffy help her!!' he cried, but it was useless. Dusting the two vamps he had on him, with some difficulty, he then ran to Dawn. Throwing the vampires off her, he dusted them too, as Giles and Willow finished off the rest. The coast was clear. So much for a night's patrolling. Xander examined Dawn's neck. There was blood. Not much, but blood all the same. Willow walked over to where Buffy was standing.
'Buffy? Buffy, what happened? Couldn't you hear us? Dawn needed you!' There was no response. Willow waved her hand in front of Buffy's face. 'Hello? Hello Buffy?!' Dawn elbowed Willow out of the way as tears ran down her face, and slapped Buffy. Hard. That brought her back. Buffy's hand flew to her reddening cheek. She just looked at Dawn in confusion.
'What's wrong with you?!' screamed Dawn, hysterical. 'Wake up Buffy. We needed you, and you just stood there. Why Buffy, why?' she cried, and broke down into sobs. Willow led her away slowly. Xander put his hand on Buffy's shoulder.
'Dawn's right. What's wrong Buff? You've been like this for months. Dawn almost got hurt. Did infact. I don't know what's wrong with you Buffy, but get over it.' he said, turned round, and just walked away.
Everyone's leaving me, everyone. First you, now them, she thought. I'm all alone. I wish you were here. The tears came silently as Buffy crumpled to the floor with grief, holding her head. Only a whisper escaped.
'Spike.'
