Scooby 2 Gang
Chapter One
Sara stepped off the plane with her backpack on her shoulder; she picked
up her two suitcases. She then found a bench and sat down and pulled out a
cell phone. She dialed her Cousin Liz's home number.
Liz: Heys o.
Sara: Liz?
Liz: Sara?
Sara: Yeah it's me. Guess where I am right now?
Liz: You in Paris.
Sara: No I'm at the Sunnydale airport.
Liz: Holy crap! What the hell are you doing here?
Sara: Well my parentals told me that I'm going to be going to school here
this year because I got kicked out of crappy Manchester schools.
Liz: Sweetness! My parentals are picking you up aren't they!?!
Sara: Yeah! In fact I see them in the crowd already.
Liz: In that case I'll talk to you when you get here.
Sara: Dido!
Liz: Odious!
Sara: Bye in French.
Sara hangs up the phone just as her Aunt Liza and Uncle Charles show up.
They welcomed her with hugs and all that crap. Then she's drove to her new
home. Liz is standing on the porch smiling. Sara gets out of the van quickly
and walks up to Liz and gives her a hug.
"What's wrong?" Liz asks.
"Nothing." Sara replies.
"No really somethings off/different 'bout you and I wanna know what it
is."
"Nothing."
"Fine whatever you say." Liz sighs. Sara gets her backpack and suitcases
from the van with Uncle Charles's help. "I'll show you your room." Sara
follows Liz up two sprial stairs onto the third and last floor in the house. There are three rooms on this floor. Liz shows Sara to the empty one.
"Welcome to your new room decorate as you please. My room is the one with the door that says Liz's room and no parentals aloud and all must knock before entering unless you are Zach, Brian, or Sara. Well I'll add Sara now."
"Good." Sara put her two suitcases on the floor by her bed and threw her
backpack on her bed. "So what's the other room?"
"That is the weird room as I like to call it. It has my drum set two
computers and a huge stereo in it. You can put whatever in it to." Liz leaned
back against the wall.
"Cool. When does school start?"
"School stared a while ago. But you lucked out because you arrived during
spring break. In other words the last semester starts Monday and it is Friday
I do believe." Liz smiled.
"Oh no what are you thinking?" Sara eyed Liz as if trying to read her
mind. "You sing right." Liz walks over and sits on Sara's bed; she pulls Sara
down next to her.
"Maybe. Why?"
"Well are band if playing tomorrow at the bronze and we still need a lead
singer. Bri's a good backup singer and so am I but we need a lead singer and
we need one fast."
"Do I get to meet Brian and Zach?"
"Well duh yeah I'll call them and ask 'em to come over tonight if you
want."
"Really?"
"Yeahs those guys luv me like a lil sister they'd do almost anything for
me, I think." Liz looked deep in thought.
"Get them over here and what songs do you want me to sing?"
"Thanks you, thank you very, very much." Liz hugged Sara and jumped off
the bed almost running out of the room. Sara heard Liz slam her door. Sara
smiled and got up and looked out the window. Her smiled turned to a frown
when she saw a bleached blond vampire standing on the ground. Her eyes got
wide, he was the same vampire that had got her suspend in Manchester. He was
smiling evilly up at her. She stood there almost in a trance she could see his clear blue eyes clearly now. They weren't yellow like she had seen them in Manchester. He mouthed 'dead slayer' to her. She backed up slowly.
"Got 'em Sara." Sara jumped when Liz said that walking into the room.
She had papers in her hand. "Sara what's wrong?" Sara just looked at the window. Liz walked over and looked down seeing the blonde vampire and full vamp face. She jumped back. "Holy shit! Who/What the hell is that?"
Sara looked again this time he was back in his human face he mouthed 'see you later' and walked away. Sara looked at Liz who was now sitting on Sara's bed with wide eyes. "That was a vampire."
"Are you serious?"
Sara nodded.
"Shit I knew there was something wrong with Sunnydale but
vampires...shit."
"I know, that's what was bugging me earlier. I'm a slayer and I'm-"
"And I'm the fucking good witch of the west. Who the hell told you all
this?"
"Liz I'm serious here according to these watchers I'm one the girl in the
whole world that is sposed to kill the vampires."
"And I'm guessing Sunnydale is full of them!?!" Liz said sarcastically.
"Yes and it's full of demons."
"Wonderful."
"The watchers told me all of this and then I got kicked out of Manchester."
"Because of vampires."
"Yeah that one you just saw if we wanna be picky. The watchers also told
me that I'd find my watcher here and that he would be a teacher or something
like that."
"So you just kill 'em the vamps and demons that is?"
"Yeah I slay them that's why I'm the slayer."
"And I thought it was all fake."
"What do you mean?"
"I was looking through books at the school library when I saw one that
said vampire on the cover and I saw a few witchcraft ones too. When I showed
the Vamp book to Xander, he's the librarian, he just got wide eyed and told
me not to tell anyone bout what I found. He looked a little scared too." Liz
thinks for a minute. "He might be your watcher."
"What?" Sara looks at her confused.
"I heard him and Ozbourne, the back teacher, talking about a new slayer
and that the watcher council wanted Xander to be the new slayers watcher."
"We should find out more bout him."
"Ryan might be able to hack into the school computers."
"Who's Ryan?"
"He's Brian's cuz."
"Oh! Who would we get into the school though?"
"Remember who you're talking to?'
"Oh right I'm talking to a thief not the good witch of the west."
"Not thief just a lock breaker."
"Right and I totally believe you."
"Of course you do everyone does." Sara laughed at this then Liz started.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Brian, Zach and Ryan stood outside the back doors to the school. Liz and
Sara walked up to them. "So Liz what's this about?" Brian asked
"Well first of all I found us a singer. Meet my cuz Sara all. Sara this
all or Brian, Ryan, and Zach." Liz said.
"Hey." Sara stuck her hand out. All the guys shook it. "And the second reason you're here, well at least Ryan right."
"Yeah that's me." Ryan said.
"We're here to break into the school so Ryan can hack into one of the school computers to get info on the school librarian Xander."
"Why do you need info on Xander?" Zach asked.
"It's not personal or anything Zach just need some back ground info and
we need it on Ozbourne too." Liz answered.
"What?" Brian and Zach said.
"We just need background info on him that's it."
"And how did you two plan on getting into the locked school?" Ryan asked
folding his arms over his chest.
"I'll break the lock duh." Liz rolled her eyes.
"Your gonna get in some deep shit one of these days Liz. You know that
right?" Zach smiled.
"I'm a pro at this Zach and if I were to get caught you'd bale me out
right." Liz made a pouty face at him.
"Well duh." Zach rolled his dark brown eyes.
"Thanks you." Liz kissed his check.
"What I don't get anything?" Bri asked holding his arm out.
Liz walked over to Bri and kissed him on the check as he wrapped his arms
around her. "Happy?"
"Very."
"Good."
"Can we get into the school now?" Sara asked getting a little jealous of Liz.
"Of course," Liz pulled out a 1-foot piece of wire and got into the
school in less then two minutes. Her, Zach, and Brian walked in first followed by
Sara and Ryan. Ryan put a pale arm around Sara who shrugged it off. They walked into the library. Zach, and Brian sat down at the table and Liz sat on top of the table while Ryan sat down at one of the computers. Sara just started looking around.
"So what am I looking for exactly?" Ryan asked starting the computer.
"That's a good question what are you children looking for?" A voice Xander came from the office. They all looked to see Xander standing at the door to his office. "Well is anyone going to answer my question?"
"We were gonna ask you for my cuz's books." Liz stood up.
"Really and why in the middle of a Friday night?" Xander walked over
so he was looking down at Liz.
"She likes to get ahead when it comes to school." Liz said looking Xander in the eye.
"Could you boys step out for a minute?" Xander asked. Brian, Zach, and Ryan all stood up at the same time and walked out of the library. "You two sit down." Liz sat right down while Sara slowly moved to sit by Liz. "I'm guessing one of you is the new slayer."
Liz and Sara's eyes go wide. "Yeah I am. How'd you know?" Sara said.
"One of my best friends was a slayer. I'm going to be your watcher." Xander smiled then sat in front of Sara. "So what's your name? I already know Liz's and that she's a trouble maker."
"My names Sara."
"Do you know what a watcher is?"
"Sort of. I know that they are sposed to train the slayer and help her when she needs it."
"Right on I dot."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"I'm still confused here." Liz raised her hand and put it down when Xander and Sara looked at her.
Xander sighed. "The slayer is one girl in all the world who has the strength to kill the vamps and demons. Got that?"
Liz rolled her changes shade blue eyes. "Yes."
"And her watcher trains her to kill the vamps and demons and usually tells her how and that crap. Got that?"
"Yes and I'm getting sick of that question. What I don't get is how my cuz here can be the slayer?"
"No one knows why they're the slayer they just are chosen for good reasons. Any more questions?"
"Yes I got one are you fucking serious?" All three turned to see Brian, Zach, and Ryan standing in front of the library doors. Liz could tell that Brian had asked the question.
"Very serious guys." Liz said. All three of their mouths dropped almost in unison too. "Dudes three's no need for that." All mouths shut again almost in unison.
"So can we help?" Zach asked sitting down on Liz's other side.
Xander looked the five of them over then smiled. "I think we have the
Scooby gang two right here."
"Xander." Tara yelled bursting into the library practically dragging Samo
in behind her.
Xander stood up and walked in front of the table as Tara walked right up
to him. "Are students sposed to be in school during spring break?" She asked
looking at Sara, Liz, Zach, Brian, and Ryan over. Ryan sat down where Xander was and Brian next to him.
Xander looked back at them and then at Samo. "What are you doing here
Miss Smith?"
Samo looks at Ryan. "Following my brother. I'm Samo." Samo says to Sara.
"Hi I'm Sara." Sara waved. Samo smiled.
Tara let go of Samo who almost ran to sit down next to Ryan. Tara was
looking at Xander. "What are they doing here?"
Xander walks behind her and wraps his arms around her. "That girls the
new slayer." He points at Sara. "That's her troublesome cousin Liz who managed to break the school lock on one of the doors to get them all in there." He points at Liz, who rolled her eyes when he said troublemaker. "That's Zach one of Liz's friends who plays bass according to Oz." Points at Zach. "That's Brian another one of Liz's friends who plays lead guitar according to Oz again." He points at Brian. "That's Ryan a hacker and computer luver like Willow used to be. He's Brian's cousin." He points at Ryan. "That's Samo really smart kid from what I have heard. She's Ryan's little sister." He points at Samo. "Explain enough for you."
"No, what are they all doing here?" Tara almost pouted.
"Well Sara's the new slayer and the rest seem to want to help, remind you of anyone? They were here to hack into the school computers but I caught them
before Ryan even got on the network."
"That's good I guess. So I'm guessing your going to be her watcher?" Tara
asked.
"Correct. You're so smart." Xander kissed her forehead.
"And you two are going to make me puke." Liz rolled her eyes. "And who do we remind you of?"
Just then Oz walked into the room. "Xan I got bad news for you and probably Tara too." He stopped when he saw six students sitting at the table.
"What are they doing here?"
Xander rolls his. "The blonde girl Sara is the new slayer and the rest
are the Scooby gang two. Your probably know all of them."
"I know who they all are but not that much bout Ryan, Samo, and Sara."
Tara sat down next to Zach. "Oz what's the bad news?"
"Oh right the bad news is Spike's back in town." Oz sat down in Tara's
seat after she jumped up.
"Are you serious? Do you know if he's chipped or not? Why is he back?"
Tara asked her question quickly.
"Who's Spike?" Liz asked confused.
"Spike is an old friend and evil dude." Xander said putting his hand on
Tara's shoulders trying to calm her.
"How can he be both?" Samo asked.
"He was evil then he got this chip that didn't let him hurt humans and
started working with us as a good guy." Xander explained sitting down next to
Brian with Tara on his lap.
"What does he look like?" Sara asked.
"Bleached blonde hair, pale skin, and clear blue eyes." Tara answered.
Liz and Sara gasped at the same time. "Are you serious?" Liz asked her
eyes a little wide.
Xander nodded. "Why?"
"He's the vamp that got me kicked out of Manchester schools plus me and
Liz saw him tonight standing out side my window. He was smiling and when Liz
saw him he was in vamp face and that's how she found out about vamps and
slayers and all that." Sara explained slowly.
"Oh!" Everyone in the room but Sara and Liz said.
"That bastard must have his chip out." Xander said angrily. "He's gonna
die for what he did to you Sara and to everyone else he made life a living
hell for."
"I'm guessing you two have issues?" Liz smiled.
"We've all got issues with him." Tara said quietly.
"So do I get to kill him?" Sara was getting inpatient by the minute.
"You should train first and don't even try to take him on by yourself. Got that?" Xander looked at Sara.
She nodded. Who the hell does he think he is telling me whom I can and can't kill, she thought. She looked at Liz and could tell she was thinking almost the same thing. "So how's this all gonna work?"
"You will come here after school to train and if a certain demon is loose you five can do some research on it and then Sara and whoever is there at the time will kill it. I think that about sum it up for tonight. I'll talk to you all Monday and known of you are to tell a living or non-living soul about this. Is that clear?" Xander almost yelled the last pat. All six students nodded. "Good you can go now." Ryan and Samo were the first to leave followed by Zach and Brian. Sara and Liz stayed until everyone left.
"Did you know about vamps this whole time?" Liz stood up.
"Have ever since I meat Buffy the vampire slayer. But her and some of
my other friends are dead now." Xander answered. "Me, Oz, and Tara are is
all that's left of the Scooby gang."
"I'm a werewolf just to let you two no." Oz said smoothly.
"And I'm a Wicca." Tara put her head on Xander's shoulder.
"Cool!" Sara and Liz said.
"You two should get going now. We can talk more about this on Monday."
Xander said. Sara stood up, her and Liz walked towards the door. "Oh and by
the way stop by the Magic Shop if you wanna see Tara." With that Sara and Liz
walked out the doors. "She's gonna be a good one."
"Liz has some power, I can feel it." Tara said standing up.
"I think they're all gonna make Sunnydale more different then Buffy
ever could." Oz said.
"What makes you say that?" Tara asked.
"Well first of all I can sense that Liz is a witch and always have since the day I meat her and I'm getting a strong in all ways vide off of Sara. Brian is starting to send of some different vides then he used to. Ryan is one computer genius and Samo is one smart kid and Zach is rumored to be one of the best swordsmen of his time." Oz explained.
"Oh!" Xander and Tara said.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Sara and Liz walked the streets of Sunnydale in silence till they were about
a block from the school. "Today is one weird day in my book." Liz said out of
no where.
"I agree with you there." Sara said.
"So can you like beat the rock up now?"
"Probably." Sara smiled.
"Not cool I luv the rock so you better not ever beat him up."
"Don't worry just because I can doesn't mean I will."
"Good and-" Liz started but an arm grabbed her around the neck. Sara
pulled out a stake immediately.
It was Spike and he was smiling. "Well hello slayer. This a friend of
yours?"
"Spike let her go or I'll beat the shit out of you." Sara threatened.
"Oh but she's so cute. I mean look at her all-helpless and struggling to get away and look at this face", Spike pinched on of Liz's checks, "plus she's got these adorable freckles, I could just eat her up." Spike licked Liz's neck.
"I think I'm gonna puke if he does that again." Liz said making Spike have a tighter grip on her neck.
"Let her go." Sara said again but a little louder.
"You know slayer everyone I meet say that like it has meaning to it. I
was hoping you were different then everyone else."
"I-"
"Let her go Spike." Xander said putting a crossbow to Spike's heart
from behind.
"Great it's the butt monkey." Spike didn't move.
"Butt monkey?" Liz questioned.
"It's what he said he wasn't going to be but that never happened."
Spike answered. "This ain't over slayer it's just the begging." He elbowed
Xander in the stomach with his other hand and then pushed Liz at Sara. They
all ended up on the ground. Spike disappeared into the night.
"That went well." Liz said getting two glares.
Chapter Two
Sara opened the door to see Zach and Brian; they each had guitar cases.
Zach's black hair was pointing in all directions while Brian's blonde hair
was looking perfect like it had last night. Sara was half in her pjs still,
she had jeans on and the shirt she'd sleep in last night. Her blonde hair
down and a little tangled. Then she noticed Ryan standing behind them. She
smiled because she liked Ryan. He had dark gray eyes and dark brown hair that
was spiked up like it was last night. He would look mysteriously gorgeous if
he wore black or gray that matched his eyes. "Come on in?"
"Are Liz's parents home?" Zach asked as they followed Sara up the stairs.
"Nope the parentals in Miami till next Sunday." Sara replied.
"So you guys are home by yourselves for a whole week?" Ryan asked.
"Yep and maybe a little more then a week too. The parentals really trust Liz
and me for some odd reason."
"Lucky. My parents are always on my case but thank god there jobs require
them to travel a lot." Brian said as they walked into the "weird" room.
"So what am I singing to night?" Sara sat in her computer chair.
"We don't know Liz has the words to the songs." Brian started getting his
guitar out.
"Where is Liz?" Zach leaned against the wall by the door.
"She's in the shower." Sara spun around in the chair a few times. There was
silence for a few minutes.
"So is all that slaying stuff real?" They all turned to Samo who was standing
in the doorway wearing black jeans and a bright green tee.
Sara nodded. "It's all true I'm a slayer, and a slayer is one girl in all the
world chosen to kill the vampires and demons according to Xander. And Xander
is my watcher."
"Do you guys know what he meant by Scoobs 2?" Samo sat down on the floor by
Sara's chair.
"Well he did say we was friends with another slayer maybe they had a few
close friends who knew about the slaying and called themselves the Scoobs."
Ryan said.
"That could be-" Bri started.
"Heys all." Liz said as she entered the room. Her rose red hair was still wet
and in a braid. "What you talkin' about?" She went over and sat at her drum
set.
"What do you think Xan meant by Scoobs two?" Bri sat between Samo and Liz's
drum set.
"No clue."
"What songs am I singing?" Sara spun around again.
"These ones." Liz handed Sara about 15 sheets of paper.
"This is it?" She looked through them.
"We're only playing for an hour and it's going to be early." Ryan said.
"Oks who all plays what in this band?" Sara was a little confused.
"I play drum if that isn't obvious." Liz said.
"I play lead guitar and I'm back up singer along with Liz sometimes." Brian
said dark blue but still blue eyes sparkled a little.
"I play bass and never sing." Zach said rubbing his dark brown, almost black
eyes.
"I play keyboard when needed." Ryan said.
"I find places and times and manage the money and tuff like that." Samo
looked at the ground with her dark green eyes.
"And I'm the singer now?" Sara asked.
"Yep!" The rest of the people in the room said.
"Kay." Sara looked at one of the papers. "I'm singing Hella Good!?!"
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"He looked just like he did the first time he tried to kill Buffy and when he
finally did." Xander was in the Magic Shop with Oz and Tara. Oz was sitting
at the table with Xander while Tara was working the counter.
"He's a vamp Xander they never age." Oz was looking through a guitar magazine.
"But do they have to look the same every time you see them?"
"Yes."
"Does he have a thing for blonde or just slayers?"
"Slayers."
"Why did he have to go after her the first time he saw her?"
"It was probably a luv at first site kinda thing."
"What?"
"He just knew he wanted to kill her right when he saw her. That's what I
mean. Do you see what I'm trying to say here?" Oz looked up for the magazine
to see Xanders reaction.
"That bastard." Xander was pissed.
"It's a maybe though." Oz looked back down.
"But still he's a bastard."
"Who's a bastard mate?" Xander and Oz moved to see Spike standing behind
Xander. Tara looked up from the book she was reading at the counter and
starting to walk behind Spike. "Well are one of you three going to answer my
question?" He turned and glanced at Tara when he said three.
"You're the bastard." Xander stood up so he was almost face to face with
Spike.
"I am aren't I." Spike smiled. "What did I do now? I don't remember sleeping
with one of your loved ones recently."
Xander punched Spike, Spike went flying into Tara and they both landed on the
ground. Spike was quicker then Tara. When he was up and pulled Tara up and
threw her at Xander. They both hit the table. Xander went unconcious. Tara
stood up and Oz put Xander on the table. Tara turned to look at Spike, when
she turned he was standing right in front of her. She gasped. "Well hello
little witch. How have you been doing?"
"Quite well thanks for asking leach boy."
"I always knew you weren't really a shy and quiet one." Spike smiled.
"What are you doing here?"
"I just felt like killing another slayer and maybe finishing off the rest of
the original Scooby gang while I'm at it." He put a hand on her neck. "You're
feeling a little cold. Hope you aren't getting sick.
"I can give you a soul." She threatened.
"Are you sure you can?"
"Positive."
"Then why haven't you?" He traced her pulse.
"Maybe I didn't think it was necessary."
"And you do now?"
"If you attack my loved ones or-"
"Which are very few now a days aren't they."
"The list's getting bigger and if you ever some near any of those children
again."
"You mean the new slayer and her cousin?"
"And the rest of them."
"There's more now?"
"You know what I'm talking about."
"You're right I do but what if were to drain you right now?" He leaned
towards he neck.
"I'd shove the stake that's by your heart right now before you could finish
me." Spike looked down and saw that she was holding a stake right at his
heart.
"You were planning to kill me the moment you saw me in here weren't you?"
"Maybe."
"That shows you've learned things over the years, mouse."
"Am I really still a mouse?"
"No you've turned into a bunny. Still cute and fluffy and innocent looking
but sharper teeth."
"Are you going to leave now?" She asked annoyed.
"First you move the stake."
"Just step towards the door still facing me."
"Good idea bunny." He did just what she said never taking his off her or the
stake. Once he was out the door he disappeared into the darkness of the
night. Tara turned around just as Xander came to; Oz was sitting in the chair
mouth hanging open. Tara notices this.
"What is it Oz?" Tara took a seat next to him.
"You just stood up to Spike."
"So?"
"Spike evil dude who is planning on killing Sara and probably everyone she
loves for fun the Spike that was planning to that to Buffy and killed Buffy
and Willow and sent demons after the rest of us."
"Go Tara!" Xander said happily but not "He's right though." Oz said quietly probably hoping no one would notice.
"About what?" Xander asked a little confused.
"Tara isn't a mouse she is more of a rabbit now." Oz explained still quietly.
"Got that right." Xander mumbled.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"That was so fun." Sara almost shouted as her, Liz, Zach, Brian, Samo, and
Ryan walked out of the Bronze. They had out all there stuff in Ryan's van.
And were now walking the streets near the Bronze.
"I'm guessing you liked the way the crowd was screaming we want more, we want
more when we started packing up and the DJ started setting his stuff up?" Liz
was walking in between Zach and Brian behind Sara and Samo.
"I loved it." Sara shouted.
"Haven't you ever sang in front of people?" Ryan asked catching up to where
Sara was walking.
"Nope just Liz and some of my family back in Manchester." Sara answered
putting an arm around Ryan. He put an arm around her.
"But she always showed everyone her writings." Liz smiled.
"You write too?" Samo asked.
"Yeah." Sara glanced at her.
"Wow!" Ryan was staring at Sara.
"Amazing person you're turning out to be slayer!" The whole gang stopped and
turned to see Spike leaning against a tree with a cigarette in his mouth.
"You sing and write and slay, I'm impressed. I think you're the most talented
slayer I've ever meat." Sara and Ryan moved in front of the rest of the
group. "So is Rosy your sister or what?"
"Whose Rosy?" Sara pulled out a stake making sure Spike could see it.
"The red head behind you."
"That's none of your dame business." Zach hissed.
"Oh the rose has a knight and shinning armor. Where's your knight slayer?"
Spike took a few steps toward the gang.
"I don't have one and I don't think my cuz needs one."
"Rosy is your cousin." He looked like he was deep in though for a moment then
he smiled evilly. "Want me to be your knight and shinning armor slayer. I'll
sweep you off your feet but I might accidentally break you neck in the
process." He started laughing.
Liz was getting angrier and angrier by the second. She finally snapped when
Spike said he might accidentally break Sara's neck. She walked right up to
him and gave him the best right hock she had.
He stumbled back a few feet. Sara and Ryan gasped when they saw three bloody
holes under Spike's right eye. Spike felt the holes. "What the hell was that?"
Liz held up her hand she had three blue spiked rings on. She smiled
satisfied. "I like spikes on my jewelry."
Spike lunged at her but Sara was in front of her cousin before Spike reached
her. Sara punched Spike right in the nose. Samo screamed. There were five
vamps sounding them. Brian pulled out a sword from his long coat. Sara threw
a stakes to Ryan, Zach and Samo. Three lunged at Sara, she sidestepped two of
them, and one got her on the ground. Samo and Zach were fighting one. Brian
chopped off two of their heads as they came at him. Liz jumped one the vamp
that had Sara pinned to the ground. She started clawing at him scratching him
many times. He finally stood up with Liz on his back forgetting about Sara.
Sara staked him when he didn't see him coming. He turned to dust making Liz
fall on her butt. Ryan was trying to fight one but was loosing horribly. Sara
saw this and staked the one that almost had Ryan quickly. Samo and Zach had
beaten the one they were fighting.
"Well now I no you six can handle things when you're together but well see
what happens when you're by yourselves." Spike said and disappeared into the
night like he did the day before.
"I don't like him that much." Liz said as Brian helped her to her feet.
"You like a little?" Samo asked. The gang turned to look at Liz confused.
"Yeah a little." Liz replied.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Xander smiled as Sara told him about Saturday night. She really was going to
change his home. He was sitting on one side of the table and she was on the
other. "And then she said she liked him a little. I still don't see why Liz
can always like something about everyone." Sara finished.
"I think every person in the world has something likable about them that I'd
like." Liz said as she and Zach entered the library.
"So Xan did Sara tell you about Saturday night?" Zach asked as he took a seat
next to Xander. Liz jumped up and sat on the table and out her feet in the
chair next to Sara.
"Yeah she told me you guys kicked butt." Xander leaned back in his chair a
little.
"We kicked vamp ass if you wanna get picky." Liz pulled out a piece of gum
and threw it in her mouth.
"Well some of us aren't as picky as you Liz and give me a piece." Sara held
out her hand, Liz put a piece of gum in it.
"It's good to be picky when it come to killing demon maybe not vampires but
definitely demons." Xander said.
"Why?" Sara asked putting the gum in her mouth.
"Sometimes if you don't kill a demon right he won't die if that ain't obvious
and he might he might get stronger in some way."
"Oh!"
"Are all demons he's cause you keep saying he when it comes to demons?' Liz
asked.
"No I've just meat more he-demons then she-demons." Xander answered.
"Shouldn't you three be in class?"
"We've got band/choir. Oz let us out for today." Zach explained. "He said all
of us could go but Samo and Brian decided to stay."
"Five?"
"Ryan isn't in band/choir." Sara told him.
"Oh! Do any of you no what a werewolf is?" Xander asked.
"No!"
"No!"
"Werewolf like little red riding hood werewolf?" Zach asked.
"Yeah sorta." Xander said. "They're wolves that are people I'm sure all of
you have heard wolf stories."
"Yeah on a full moon some people turn into wolfs." Sara said.
"Right. It's all true."
"I always wondered why the was more "dog" howling on full moons." Liz said.
"Well the reason I'm telling you this is because of two things. One I don't
want Sara to kill a wolf if she sees one and two because Oz is one."
"What?" All three students yelled.
"Yeahs I expected that."
"Are you serious?" Zach asked.
"Very."
"So he turns all hairy on full moons and howls at the moon and goes around
killing people." Liz said.
"Pretty much expect he doesn't kill people because he has a cage in the Magic
Shop basement that he goes in during full moon's." Xander explained putting
his shoulders on the table.
"Oh!" Zach and Sara said.
"Where's the Magic Shop?" Liz asked.
Xander got up went into his office for a minute or less and came back with a
piece of paper with an address on it. "Here's the address." Liz took the
paper and put it in her back pocket. "Why'd you wanna know?"
"I'm gonna go over there after school and check it out." Liz started. "I
always wanted to learn about magic but was told it wasn't real. And if my cuz
is a slayer and my band teacher is a werewolf and vampires and demons are
real then magic's got it be."
"It is real. Tara's a Wicca." Xander sat back down.
"Cools! Think she could show me some spells?" Liz asked excitedly.
"She will trust me but if you turn out to be good at magic don't do any dark
stuff. You'll get the same thing from Tara and Oz." Xander said.
"Don't worry I didn't plan on using the dark arts for anything."
"No one plans to." Xander mumbled quietly.
"What?" Sara asked knowing Xander said something.
"Liar." Sara said a little annoyed.
"You point?" Xander asked a little angry.
"No need to fight people we're all friends, watchers, and cousins here." Liz
could tell Xander was getting angry and Sara was getting annoyed.
"Very funny Liz." Zach said.
"I no I'm just the just person in the world aren't I."
"Let me think about that…no you aren't."
"Your real nice."
"Aren't I?"
"Liz didn't you just say there was no need to fight?" Sara asked.
"Yes but arguing and fighting are to different things." Liz answered.
"Plus arguings fun." Zach said. Zach and Liz were staring at each other
neither of them was blinking. Sara and Xander saw this and were silent till.
"I win!" Zach said happily.
"It's a first too." Liz smiled.
"Sore loser."
"Only sometimes and your point?"
Did Liz her sorta shy cousin flirt like this all the time, Sara wondered. "Ok
both of you tow break it up or I'll start kicking butt."
"Oks, oks." Liz looked away from Zach.
"Thank you. Xander what do you know about Spike?" Sara looked at Xander.
He looked at her. "To much."
Sara rolled her eyes. "Well can you use some it to help me kill him. He's
getting annoying quickly."
"Yeah sure. Sara meat back here after school you need to start training."
Xander got up and went into his office and locked the door behind him. He sat
down and pulled out a picture of his first collage Halloween. He was in a
tusk, Anya in her bunny costume; Buffy looked so innocent as Red Riding Hood,
Oz barley smiling, and Willow smiling as widley as she could as Giles took the picture
years ago. Him and Oz were what were left of them. He wished, hoped, and
prayed Spike didn't get Sara like he did Buffy and the rest of them. A tear
slid down his check. He whipped it quickly but silently cried his heart out.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Liz walked into the empty Magic Shop with her bag on her left shoulder. "Is
anyone here?" She shouted.
"I'm in the back." Tara yelled. Liz walked into the back slowly looking at
everything in the Magic Shop with excited eyes. She saw Tara in the back room
going through a box that said Soul on it in black marker.
"Need help?" Tara looked up and smiled. She knew the red head was a witch
just by looking at her. Only probably didn't know the power she had.
Chapter One
Sara stepped off the plane with her backpack on her shoulder; she picked
up her two suitcases. She then found a bench and sat down and pulled out a
cell phone. She dialed her Cousin Liz's home number.
Liz: Heys o.
Sara: Liz?
Liz: Sara?
Sara: Yeah it's me. Guess where I am right now?
Liz: You in Paris.
Sara: No I'm at the Sunnydale airport.
Liz: Holy crap! What the hell are you doing here?
Sara: Well my parentals told me that I'm going to be going to school here
this year because I got kicked out of crappy Manchester schools.
Liz: Sweetness! My parentals are picking you up aren't they!?!
Sara: Yeah! In fact I see them in the crowd already.
Liz: In that case I'll talk to you when you get here.
Sara: Dido!
Liz: Odious!
Sara: Bye in French.
Sara hangs up the phone just as her Aunt Liza and Uncle Charles show up.
They welcomed her with hugs and all that crap. Then she's drove to her new
home. Liz is standing on the porch smiling. Sara gets out of the van quickly
and walks up to Liz and gives her a hug.
"What's wrong?" Liz asks.
"Nothing." Sara replies.
"No really somethings off/different 'bout you and I wanna know what it
is."
"Nothing."
"Fine whatever you say." Liz sighs. Sara gets her backpack and suitcases
from the van with Uncle Charles's help. "I'll show you your room." Sara
follows Liz up two sprial stairs onto the third and last floor in the house. There are three rooms on this floor. Liz shows Sara to the empty one.
"Welcome to your new room decorate as you please. My room is the one with the door that says Liz's room and no parentals aloud and all must knock before entering unless you are Zach, Brian, or Sara. Well I'll add Sara now."
"Good." Sara put her two suitcases on the floor by her bed and threw her
backpack on her bed. "So what's the other room?"
"That is the weird room as I like to call it. It has my drum set two
computers and a huge stereo in it. You can put whatever in it to." Liz leaned
back against the wall.
"Cool. When does school start?"
"School stared a while ago. But you lucked out because you arrived during
spring break. In other words the last semester starts Monday and it is Friday
I do believe." Liz smiled.
"Oh no what are you thinking?" Sara eyed Liz as if trying to read her
mind. "You sing right." Liz walks over and sits on Sara's bed; she pulls Sara
down next to her.
"Maybe. Why?"
"Well are band if playing tomorrow at the bronze and we still need a lead
singer. Bri's a good backup singer and so am I but we need a lead singer and
we need one fast."
"Do I get to meet Brian and Zach?"
"Well duh yeah I'll call them and ask 'em to come over tonight if you
want."
"Really?"
"Yeahs those guys luv me like a lil sister they'd do almost anything for
me, I think." Liz looked deep in thought.
"Get them over here and what songs do you want me to sing?"
"Thanks you, thank you very, very much." Liz hugged Sara and jumped off
the bed almost running out of the room. Sara heard Liz slam her door. Sara
smiled and got up and looked out the window. Her smiled turned to a frown
when she saw a bleached blond vampire standing on the ground. Her eyes got
wide, he was the same vampire that had got her suspend in Manchester. He was
smiling evilly up at her. She stood there almost in a trance she could see his clear blue eyes clearly now. They weren't yellow like she had seen them in Manchester. He mouthed 'dead slayer' to her. She backed up slowly.
"Got 'em Sara." Sara jumped when Liz said that walking into the room.
She had papers in her hand. "Sara what's wrong?" Sara just looked at the window. Liz walked over and looked down seeing the blonde vampire and full vamp face. She jumped back. "Holy shit! Who/What the hell is that?"
Sara looked again this time he was back in his human face he mouthed 'see you later' and walked away. Sara looked at Liz who was now sitting on Sara's bed with wide eyes. "That was a vampire."
"Are you serious?"
Sara nodded.
"Shit I knew there was something wrong with Sunnydale but
vampires...shit."
"I know, that's what was bugging me earlier. I'm a slayer and I'm-"
"And I'm the fucking good witch of the west. Who the hell told you all
this?"
"Liz I'm serious here according to these watchers I'm one the girl in the
whole world that is sposed to kill the vampires."
"And I'm guessing Sunnydale is full of them!?!" Liz said sarcastically.
"Yes and it's full of demons."
"Wonderful."
"The watchers told me all of this and then I got kicked out of Manchester."
"Because of vampires."
"Yeah that one you just saw if we wanna be picky. The watchers also told
me that I'd find my watcher here and that he would be a teacher or something
like that."
"So you just kill 'em the vamps and demons that is?"
"Yeah I slay them that's why I'm the slayer."
"And I thought it was all fake."
"What do you mean?"
"I was looking through books at the school library when I saw one that
said vampire on the cover and I saw a few witchcraft ones too. When I showed
the Vamp book to Xander, he's the librarian, he just got wide eyed and told
me not to tell anyone bout what I found. He looked a little scared too." Liz
thinks for a minute. "He might be your watcher."
"What?" Sara looks at her confused.
"I heard him and Ozbourne, the back teacher, talking about a new slayer
and that the watcher council wanted Xander to be the new slayers watcher."
"We should find out more bout him."
"Ryan might be able to hack into the school computers."
"Who's Ryan?"
"He's Brian's cuz."
"Oh! Who would we get into the school though?"
"Remember who you're talking to?'
"Oh right I'm talking to a thief not the good witch of the west."
"Not thief just a lock breaker."
"Right and I totally believe you."
"Of course you do everyone does." Sara laughed at this then Liz started.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Brian, Zach and Ryan stood outside the back doors to the school. Liz and
Sara walked up to them. "So Liz what's this about?" Brian asked
"Well first of all I found us a singer. Meet my cuz Sara all. Sara this
all or Brian, Ryan, and Zach." Liz said.
"Hey." Sara stuck her hand out. All the guys shook it. "And the second reason you're here, well at least Ryan right."
"Yeah that's me." Ryan said.
"We're here to break into the school so Ryan can hack into one of the school computers to get info on the school librarian Xander."
"Why do you need info on Xander?" Zach asked.
"It's not personal or anything Zach just need some back ground info and
we need it on Ozbourne too." Liz answered.
"What?" Brian and Zach said.
"We just need background info on him that's it."
"And how did you two plan on getting into the locked school?" Ryan asked
folding his arms over his chest.
"I'll break the lock duh." Liz rolled her eyes.
"Your gonna get in some deep shit one of these days Liz. You know that
right?" Zach smiled.
"I'm a pro at this Zach and if I were to get caught you'd bale me out
right." Liz made a pouty face at him.
"Well duh." Zach rolled his dark brown eyes.
"Thanks you." Liz kissed his check.
"What I don't get anything?" Bri asked holding his arm out.
Liz walked over to Bri and kissed him on the check as he wrapped his arms
around her. "Happy?"
"Very."
"Good."
"Can we get into the school now?" Sara asked getting a little jealous of Liz.
"Of course," Liz pulled out a 1-foot piece of wire and got into the
school in less then two minutes. Her, Zach, and Brian walked in first followed by
Sara and Ryan. Ryan put a pale arm around Sara who shrugged it off. They walked into the library. Zach, and Brian sat down at the table and Liz sat on top of the table while Ryan sat down at one of the computers. Sara just started looking around.
"So what am I looking for exactly?" Ryan asked starting the computer.
"That's a good question what are you children looking for?" A voice Xander came from the office. They all looked to see Xander standing at the door to his office. "Well is anyone going to answer my question?"
"We were gonna ask you for my cuz's books." Liz stood up.
"Really and why in the middle of a Friday night?" Xander walked over
so he was looking down at Liz.
"She likes to get ahead when it comes to school." Liz said looking Xander in the eye.
"Could you boys step out for a minute?" Xander asked. Brian, Zach, and Ryan all stood up at the same time and walked out of the library. "You two sit down." Liz sat right down while Sara slowly moved to sit by Liz. "I'm guessing one of you is the new slayer."
Liz and Sara's eyes go wide. "Yeah I am. How'd you know?" Sara said.
"One of my best friends was a slayer. I'm going to be your watcher." Xander smiled then sat in front of Sara. "So what's your name? I already know Liz's and that she's a trouble maker."
"My names Sara."
"Do you know what a watcher is?"
"Sort of. I know that they are sposed to train the slayer and help her when she needs it."
"Right on I dot."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"I'm still confused here." Liz raised her hand and put it down when Xander and Sara looked at her.
Xander sighed. "The slayer is one girl in all the world who has the strength to kill the vamps and demons. Got that?"
Liz rolled her changes shade blue eyes. "Yes."
"And her watcher trains her to kill the vamps and demons and usually tells her how and that crap. Got that?"
"Yes and I'm getting sick of that question. What I don't get is how my cuz here can be the slayer?"
"No one knows why they're the slayer they just are chosen for good reasons. Any more questions?"
"Yes I got one are you fucking serious?" All three turned to see Brian, Zach, and Ryan standing in front of the library doors. Liz could tell that Brian had asked the question.
"Very serious guys." Liz said. All three of their mouths dropped almost in unison too. "Dudes three's no need for that." All mouths shut again almost in unison.
"So can we help?" Zach asked sitting down on Liz's other side.
Xander looked the five of them over then smiled. "I think we have the
Scooby gang two right here."
"Xander." Tara yelled bursting into the library practically dragging Samo
in behind her.
Xander stood up and walked in front of the table as Tara walked right up
to him. "Are students sposed to be in school during spring break?" She asked
looking at Sara, Liz, Zach, Brian, and Ryan over. Ryan sat down where Xander was and Brian next to him.
Xander looked back at them and then at Samo. "What are you doing here
Miss Smith?"
Samo looks at Ryan. "Following my brother. I'm Samo." Samo says to Sara.
"Hi I'm Sara." Sara waved. Samo smiled.
Tara let go of Samo who almost ran to sit down next to Ryan. Tara was
looking at Xander. "What are they doing here?"
Xander walks behind her and wraps his arms around her. "That girls the
new slayer." He points at Sara. "That's her troublesome cousin Liz who managed to break the school lock on one of the doors to get them all in there." He points at Liz, who rolled her eyes when he said troublemaker. "That's Zach one of Liz's friends who plays bass according to Oz." Points at Zach. "That's Brian another one of Liz's friends who plays lead guitar according to Oz again." He points at Brian. "That's Ryan a hacker and computer luver like Willow used to be. He's Brian's cousin." He points at Ryan. "That's Samo really smart kid from what I have heard. She's Ryan's little sister." He points at Samo. "Explain enough for you."
"No, what are they all doing here?" Tara almost pouted.
"Well Sara's the new slayer and the rest seem to want to help, remind you of anyone? They were here to hack into the school computers but I caught them
before Ryan even got on the network."
"That's good I guess. So I'm guessing your going to be her watcher?" Tara
asked.
"Correct. You're so smart." Xander kissed her forehead.
"And you two are going to make me puke." Liz rolled her eyes. "And who do we remind you of?"
Just then Oz walked into the room. "Xan I got bad news for you and probably Tara too." He stopped when he saw six students sitting at the table.
"What are they doing here?"
Xander rolls his. "The blonde girl Sara is the new slayer and the rest
are the Scooby gang two. Your probably know all of them."
"I know who they all are but not that much bout Ryan, Samo, and Sara."
Tara sat down next to Zach. "Oz what's the bad news?"
"Oh right the bad news is Spike's back in town." Oz sat down in Tara's
seat after she jumped up.
"Are you serious? Do you know if he's chipped or not? Why is he back?"
Tara asked her question quickly.
"Who's Spike?" Liz asked confused.
"Spike is an old friend and evil dude." Xander said putting his hand on
Tara's shoulders trying to calm her.
"How can he be both?" Samo asked.
"He was evil then he got this chip that didn't let him hurt humans and
started working with us as a good guy." Xander explained sitting down next to
Brian with Tara on his lap.
"What does he look like?" Sara asked.
"Bleached blonde hair, pale skin, and clear blue eyes." Tara answered.
Liz and Sara gasped at the same time. "Are you serious?" Liz asked her
eyes a little wide.
Xander nodded. "Why?"
"He's the vamp that got me kicked out of Manchester schools plus me and
Liz saw him tonight standing out side my window. He was smiling and when Liz
saw him he was in vamp face and that's how she found out about vamps and
slayers and all that." Sara explained slowly.
"Oh!" Everyone in the room but Sara and Liz said.
"That bastard must have his chip out." Xander said angrily. "He's gonna
die for what he did to you Sara and to everyone else he made life a living
hell for."
"I'm guessing you two have issues?" Liz smiled.
"We've all got issues with him." Tara said quietly.
"So do I get to kill him?" Sara was getting inpatient by the minute.
"You should train first and don't even try to take him on by yourself. Got that?" Xander looked at Sara.
She nodded. Who the hell does he think he is telling me whom I can and can't kill, she thought. She looked at Liz and could tell she was thinking almost the same thing. "So how's this all gonna work?"
"You will come here after school to train and if a certain demon is loose you five can do some research on it and then Sara and whoever is there at the time will kill it. I think that about sum it up for tonight. I'll talk to you all Monday and known of you are to tell a living or non-living soul about this. Is that clear?" Xander almost yelled the last pat. All six students nodded. "Good you can go now." Ryan and Samo were the first to leave followed by Zach and Brian. Sara and Liz stayed until everyone left.
"Did you know about vamps this whole time?" Liz stood up.
"Have ever since I meat Buffy the vampire slayer. But her and some of
my other friends are dead now." Xander answered. "Me, Oz, and Tara are is
all that's left of the Scooby gang."
"I'm a werewolf just to let you two no." Oz said smoothly.
"And I'm a Wicca." Tara put her head on Xander's shoulder.
"Cool!" Sara and Liz said.
"You two should get going now. We can talk more about this on Monday."
Xander said. Sara stood up, her and Liz walked towards the door. "Oh and by
the way stop by the Magic Shop if you wanna see Tara." With that Sara and Liz
walked out the doors. "She's gonna be a good one."
"Liz has some power, I can feel it." Tara said standing up.
"I think they're all gonna make Sunnydale more different then Buffy
ever could." Oz said.
"What makes you say that?" Tara asked.
"Well first of all I can sense that Liz is a witch and always have since the day I meat her and I'm getting a strong in all ways vide off of Sara. Brian is starting to send of some different vides then he used to. Ryan is one computer genius and Samo is one smart kid and Zach is rumored to be one of the best swordsmen of his time." Oz explained.
"Oh!" Xander and Tara said.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Sara and Liz walked the streets of Sunnydale in silence till they were about
a block from the school. "Today is one weird day in my book." Liz said out of
no where.
"I agree with you there." Sara said.
"So can you like beat the rock up now?"
"Probably." Sara smiled.
"Not cool I luv the rock so you better not ever beat him up."
"Don't worry just because I can doesn't mean I will."
"Good and-" Liz started but an arm grabbed her around the neck. Sara
pulled out a stake immediately.
It was Spike and he was smiling. "Well hello slayer. This a friend of
yours?"
"Spike let her go or I'll beat the shit out of you." Sara threatened.
"Oh but she's so cute. I mean look at her all-helpless and struggling to get away and look at this face", Spike pinched on of Liz's checks, "plus she's got these adorable freckles, I could just eat her up." Spike licked Liz's neck.
"I think I'm gonna puke if he does that again." Liz said making Spike have a tighter grip on her neck.
"Let her go." Sara said again but a little louder.
"You know slayer everyone I meet say that like it has meaning to it. I
was hoping you were different then everyone else."
"I-"
"Let her go Spike." Xander said putting a crossbow to Spike's heart
from behind.
"Great it's the butt monkey." Spike didn't move.
"Butt monkey?" Liz questioned.
"It's what he said he wasn't going to be but that never happened."
Spike answered. "This ain't over slayer it's just the begging." He elbowed
Xander in the stomach with his other hand and then pushed Liz at Sara. They
all ended up on the ground. Spike disappeared into the night.
"That went well." Liz said getting two glares.
Chapter Two
Sara opened the door to see Zach and Brian; they each had guitar cases.
Zach's black hair was pointing in all directions while Brian's blonde hair
was looking perfect like it had last night. Sara was half in her pjs still,
she had jeans on and the shirt she'd sleep in last night. Her blonde hair
down and a little tangled. Then she noticed Ryan standing behind them. She
smiled because she liked Ryan. He had dark gray eyes and dark brown hair that
was spiked up like it was last night. He would look mysteriously gorgeous if
he wore black or gray that matched his eyes. "Come on in?"
"Are Liz's parents home?" Zach asked as they followed Sara up the stairs.
"Nope the parentals in Miami till next Sunday." Sara replied.
"So you guys are home by yourselves for a whole week?" Ryan asked.
"Yep and maybe a little more then a week too. The parentals really trust Liz
and me for some odd reason."
"Lucky. My parents are always on my case but thank god there jobs require
them to travel a lot." Brian said as they walked into the "weird" room.
"So what am I singing to night?" Sara sat in her computer chair.
"We don't know Liz has the words to the songs." Brian started getting his
guitar out.
"Where is Liz?" Zach leaned against the wall by the door.
"She's in the shower." Sara spun around in the chair a few times. There was
silence for a few minutes.
"So is all that slaying stuff real?" They all turned to Samo who was standing
in the doorway wearing black jeans and a bright green tee.
Sara nodded. "It's all true I'm a slayer, and a slayer is one girl in all the
world chosen to kill the vampires and demons according to Xander. And Xander
is my watcher."
"Do you guys know what he meant by Scoobs 2?" Samo sat down on the floor by
Sara's chair.
"Well he did say we was friends with another slayer maybe they had a few
close friends who knew about the slaying and called themselves the Scoobs."
Ryan said.
"That could be-" Bri started.
"Heys all." Liz said as she entered the room. Her rose red hair was still wet
and in a braid. "What you talkin' about?" She went over and sat at her drum
set.
"What do you think Xan meant by Scoobs two?" Bri sat between Samo and Liz's
drum set.
"No clue."
"What songs am I singing?" Sara spun around again.
"These ones." Liz handed Sara about 15 sheets of paper.
"This is it?" She looked through them.
"We're only playing for an hour and it's going to be early." Ryan said.
"Oks who all plays what in this band?" Sara was a little confused.
"I play drum if that isn't obvious." Liz said.
"I play lead guitar and I'm back up singer along with Liz sometimes." Brian
said dark blue but still blue eyes sparkled a little.
"I play bass and never sing." Zach said rubbing his dark brown, almost black
eyes.
"I play keyboard when needed." Ryan said.
"I find places and times and manage the money and tuff like that." Samo
looked at the ground with her dark green eyes.
"And I'm the singer now?" Sara asked.
"Yep!" The rest of the people in the room said.
"Kay." Sara looked at one of the papers. "I'm singing Hella Good!?!"
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"He looked just like he did the first time he tried to kill Buffy and when he
finally did." Xander was in the Magic Shop with Oz and Tara. Oz was sitting
at the table with Xander while Tara was working the counter.
"He's a vamp Xander they never age." Oz was looking through a guitar magazine.
"But do they have to look the same every time you see them?"
"Yes."
"Does he have a thing for blonde or just slayers?"
"Slayers."
"Why did he have to go after her the first time he saw her?"
"It was probably a luv at first site kinda thing."
"What?"
"He just knew he wanted to kill her right when he saw her. That's what I
mean. Do you see what I'm trying to say here?" Oz looked up for the magazine
to see Xanders reaction.
"That bastard." Xander was pissed.
"It's a maybe though." Oz looked back down.
"But still he's a bastard."
"Who's a bastard mate?" Xander and Oz moved to see Spike standing behind
Xander. Tara looked up from the book she was reading at the counter and
starting to walk behind Spike. "Well are one of you three going to answer my
question?" He turned and glanced at Tara when he said three.
"You're the bastard." Xander stood up so he was almost face to face with
Spike.
"I am aren't I." Spike smiled. "What did I do now? I don't remember sleeping
with one of your loved ones recently."
Xander punched Spike, Spike went flying into Tara and they both landed on the
ground. Spike was quicker then Tara. When he was up and pulled Tara up and
threw her at Xander. They both hit the table. Xander went unconcious. Tara
stood up and Oz put Xander on the table. Tara turned to look at Spike, when
she turned he was standing right in front of her. She gasped. "Well hello
little witch. How have you been doing?"
"Quite well thanks for asking leach boy."
"I always knew you weren't really a shy and quiet one." Spike smiled.
"What are you doing here?"
"I just felt like killing another slayer and maybe finishing off the rest of
the original Scooby gang while I'm at it." He put a hand on her neck. "You're
feeling a little cold. Hope you aren't getting sick.
"I can give you a soul." She threatened.
"Are you sure you can?"
"Positive."
"Then why haven't you?" He traced her pulse.
"Maybe I didn't think it was necessary."
"And you do now?"
"If you attack my loved ones or-"
"Which are very few now a days aren't they."
"The list's getting bigger and if you ever some near any of those children
again."
"You mean the new slayer and her cousin?"
"And the rest of them."
"There's more now?"
"You know what I'm talking about."
"You're right I do but what if were to drain you right now?" He leaned
towards he neck.
"I'd shove the stake that's by your heart right now before you could finish
me." Spike looked down and saw that she was holding a stake right at his
heart.
"You were planning to kill me the moment you saw me in here weren't you?"
"Maybe."
"That shows you've learned things over the years, mouse."
"Am I really still a mouse?"
"No you've turned into a bunny. Still cute and fluffy and innocent looking
but sharper teeth."
"Are you going to leave now?" She asked annoyed.
"First you move the stake."
"Just step towards the door still facing me."
"Good idea bunny." He did just what she said never taking his off her or the
stake. Once he was out the door he disappeared into the darkness of the
night. Tara turned around just as Xander came to; Oz was sitting in the chair
mouth hanging open. Tara notices this.
"What is it Oz?" Tara took a seat next to him.
"You just stood up to Spike."
"So?"
"Spike evil dude who is planning on killing Sara and probably everyone she
loves for fun the Spike that was planning to that to Buffy and killed Buffy
and Willow and sent demons after the rest of us."
"Go Tara!" Xander said happily but not "He's right though." Oz said quietly probably hoping no one would notice.
"About what?" Xander asked a little confused.
"Tara isn't a mouse she is more of a rabbit now." Oz explained still quietly.
"Got that right." Xander mumbled.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"That was so fun." Sara almost shouted as her, Liz, Zach, Brian, Samo, and
Ryan walked out of the Bronze. They had out all there stuff in Ryan's van.
And were now walking the streets near the Bronze.
"I'm guessing you liked the way the crowd was screaming we want more, we want
more when we started packing up and the DJ started setting his stuff up?" Liz
was walking in between Zach and Brian behind Sara and Samo.
"I loved it." Sara shouted.
"Haven't you ever sang in front of people?" Ryan asked catching up to where
Sara was walking.
"Nope just Liz and some of my family back in Manchester." Sara answered
putting an arm around Ryan. He put an arm around her.
"But she always showed everyone her writings." Liz smiled.
"You write too?" Samo asked.
"Yeah." Sara glanced at her.
"Wow!" Ryan was staring at Sara.
"Amazing person you're turning out to be slayer!" The whole gang stopped and
turned to see Spike leaning against a tree with a cigarette in his mouth.
"You sing and write and slay, I'm impressed. I think you're the most talented
slayer I've ever meat." Sara and Ryan moved in front of the rest of the
group. "So is Rosy your sister or what?"
"Whose Rosy?" Sara pulled out a stake making sure Spike could see it.
"The red head behind you."
"That's none of your dame business." Zach hissed.
"Oh the rose has a knight and shinning armor. Where's your knight slayer?"
Spike took a few steps toward the gang.
"I don't have one and I don't think my cuz needs one."
"Rosy is your cousin." He looked like he was deep in though for a moment then
he smiled evilly. "Want me to be your knight and shinning armor slayer. I'll
sweep you off your feet but I might accidentally break you neck in the
process." He started laughing.
Liz was getting angrier and angrier by the second. She finally snapped when
Spike said he might accidentally break Sara's neck. She walked right up to
him and gave him the best right hock she had.
He stumbled back a few feet. Sara and Ryan gasped when they saw three bloody
holes under Spike's right eye. Spike felt the holes. "What the hell was that?"
Liz held up her hand she had three blue spiked rings on. She smiled
satisfied. "I like spikes on my jewelry."
Spike lunged at her but Sara was in front of her cousin before Spike reached
her. Sara punched Spike right in the nose. Samo screamed. There were five
vamps sounding them. Brian pulled out a sword from his long coat. Sara threw
a stakes to Ryan, Zach and Samo. Three lunged at Sara, she sidestepped two of
them, and one got her on the ground. Samo and Zach were fighting one. Brian
chopped off two of their heads as they came at him. Liz jumped one the vamp
that had Sara pinned to the ground. She started clawing at him scratching him
many times. He finally stood up with Liz on his back forgetting about Sara.
Sara staked him when he didn't see him coming. He turned to dust making Liz
fall on her butt. Ryan was trying to fight one but was loosing horribly. Sara
saw this and staked the one that almost had Ryan quickly. Samo and Zach had
beaten the one they were fighting.
"Well now I no you six can handle things when you're together but well see
what happens when you're by yourselves." Spike said and disappeared into the
night like he did the day before.
"I don't like him that much." Liz said as Brian helped her to her feet.
"You like a little?" Samo asked. The gang turned to look at Liz confused.
"Yeah a little." Liz replied.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Xander smiled as Sara told him about Saturday night. She really was going to
change his home. He was sitting on one side of the table and she was on the
other. "And then she said she liked him a little. I still don't see why Liz
can always like something about everyone." Sara finished.
"I think every person in the world has something likable about them that I'd
like." Liz said as she and Zach entered the library.
"So Xan did Sara tell you about Saturday night?" Zach asked as he took a seat
next to Xander. Liz jumped up and sat on the table and out her feet in the
chair next to Sara.
"Yeah she told me you guys kicked butt." Xander leaned back in his chair a
little.
"We kicked vamp ass if you wanna get picky." Liz pulled out a piece of gum
and threw it in her mouth.
"Well some of us aren't as picky as you Liz and give me a piece." Sara held
out her hand, Liz put a piece of gum in it.
"It's good to be picky when it come to killing demon maybe not vampires but
definitely demons." Xander said.
"Why?" Sara asked putting the gum in her mouth.
"Sometimes if you don't kill a demon right he won't die if that ain't obvious
and he might he might get stronger in some way."
"Oh!"
"Are all demons he's cause you keep saying he when it comes to demons?' Liz
asked.
"No I've just meat more he-demons then she-demons." Xander answered.
"Shouldn't you three be in class?"
"We've got band/choir. Oz let us out for today." Zach explained. "He said all
of us could go but Samo and Brian decided to stay."
"Five?"
"Ryan isn't in band/choir." Sara told him.
"Oh! Do any of you no what a werewolf is?" Xander asked.
"No!"
"No!"
"Werewolf like little red riding hood werewolf?" Zach asked.
"Yeah sorta." Xander said. "They're wolves that are people I'm sure all of
you have heard wolf stories."
"Yeah on a full moon some people turn into wolfs." Sara said.
"Right. It's all true."
"I always wondered why the was more "dog" howling on full moons." Liz said.
"Well the reason I'm telling you this is because of two things. One I don't
want Sara to kill a wolf if she sees one and two because Oz is one."
"What?" All three students yelled.
"Yeahs I expected that."
"Are you serious?" Zach asked.
"Very."
"So he turns all hairy on full moons and howls at the moon and goes around
killing people." Liz said.
"Pretty much expect he doesn't kill people because he has a cage in the Magic
Shop basement that he goes in during full moon's." Xander explained putting
his shoulders on the table.
"Oh!" Zach and Sara said.
"Where's the Magic Shop?" Liz asked.
Xander got up went into his office for a minute or less and came back with a
piece of paper with an address on it. "Here's the address." Liz took the
paper and put it in her back pocket. "Why'd you wanna know?"
"I'm gonna go over there after school and check it out." Liz started. "I
always wanted to learn about magic but was told it wasn't real. And if my cuz
is a slayer and my band teacher is a werewolf and vampires and demons are
real then magic's got it be."
"It is real. Tara's a Wicca." Xander sat back down.
"Cools! Think she could show me some spells?" Liz asked excitedly.
"She will trust me but if you turn out to be good at magic don't do any dark
stuff. You'll get the same thing from Tara and Oz." Xander said.
"Don't worry I didn't plan on using the dark arts for anything."
"No one plans to." Xander mumbled quietly.
"What?" Sara asked knowing Xander said something.
"Liar." Sara said a little annoyed.
"You point?" Xander asked a little angry.
"No need to fight people we're all friends, watchers, and cousins here." Liz
could tell Xander was getting angry and Sara was getting annoyed.
"Very funny Liz." Zach said.
"I no I'm just the just person in the world aren't I."
"Let me think about that…no you aren't."
"Your real nice."
"Aren't I?"
"Liz didn't you just say there was no need to fight?" Sara asked.
"Yes but arguing and fighting are to different things." Liz answered.
"Plus arguings fun." Zach said. Zach and Liz were staring at each other
neither of them was blinking. Sara and Xander saw this and were silent till.
"I win!" Zach said happily.
"It's a first too." Liz smiled.
"Sore loser."
"Only sometimes and your point?"
Did Liz her sorta shy cousin flirt like this all the time, Sara wondered. "Ok
both of you tow break it up or I'll start kicking butt."
"Oks, oks." Liz looked away from Zach.
"Thank you. Xander what do you know about Spike?" Sara looked at Xander.
He looked at her. "To much."
Sara rolled her eyes. "Well can you use some it to help me kill him. He's
getting annoying quickly."
"Yeah sure. Sara meat back here after school you need to start training."
Xander got up and went into his office and locked the door behind him. He sat
down and pulled out a picture of his first collage Halloween. He was in a
tusk, Anya in her bunny costume; Buffy looked so innocent as Red Riding Hood,
Oz barley smiling, and Willow smiling as widley as she could as Giles took the picture
years ago. Him and Oz were what were left of them. He wished, hoped, and
prayed Spike didn't get Sara like he did Buffy and the rest of them. A tear
slid down his check. He whipped it quickly but silently cried his heart out.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Liz walked into the empty Magic Shop with her bag on her left shoulder. "Is
anyone here?" She shouted.
"I'm in the back." Tara yelled. Liz walked into the back slowly looking at
everything in the Magic Shop with excited eyes. She saw Tara in the back room
going through a box that said Soul on it in black marker.
"Need help?" Tara looked up and smiled. She knew the red head was a witch
just by looking at her. Only probably didn't know the power she had.
