A/N: Spoilers for The lost slayer pt 4 Original Sins by Christopher Golden. Also in my version, Tara exists and is Willow's girlfriend. Now…….on with the story…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She dodged a punch, swerved a kick, spun out of reach and launched a powerful kick, powerful enough to smash a vampire back into the wall behind him. Plasterboard crumbled under his weight and he went right through the wall. He ran back through the hole with a snarl, only to get a sharp wooden stake punched into his chest. The slayer spun to face another vampire as he turned to dust. This one was a girl who couldn't have been more than fifteen before she died, however, she was dressed in serious black leather mode. Her completely fake black hair was piled up on top of her head.
The slayer smashed a flying fist into the vampire's face, gave it a sweep kick, knocking it to the floor and slammed an elbow into her back. She swooped down with her stake but was kicked away by two powerful feet. With a kick to the side and a strong head butt to the gut, the slayer buried her stake into that vampire aswell.
Anna Kuei got to her feet, and brushed vampire dust out of her hair, which now reached just past her shoulders but was still vivid pink in colour. Her and her team were wiping out a nest, a big office building just out side Sunnydale, over to her left was Willow Rosenburg, a powerful sorceress and also the leader of their operation. She was floating in mid-air and setting vampires on fire with a look. Next to Willow, her girlfriend Tara shocked vampires with little balls of energy. To her right was her watcher Jamie Hinsdale, correction, her second watcher, her first watcher Wesley had died in battle two years ago. Her newest watcher was hacking through three vampires with a sword to get to Oz, who was backed into a corner with a chain around his neck. Oz was in his werewolf form, and very strong but the strength of three vamps and solid steel was just enough to hold him.
There were various other people around her, she quickly dispatched a vampire that had pinned Michelle Garland-an operative-to the floor. By the blacked out window stood John Windsor, who was smashing at the window with a baseball bat and Jessica Belfield who held two vampires off with a large cross and a water gun filled with holy water. Near to the door Simon Deled rammed a sharpened wooden staff into a screaming vampire. These were the lucky ones, if they got in trouble the slayer would help them, but down the hall Anna could hear the gargled screams of watchers and operatives dying in pain.
The sound made Anna remember the events of two years ago, when she was stuck in a building similar to this one, the people she loved died all around her. First it was her parents, who had been savagely murdered by vampires before she became a potential, then it was the prodigal slayer Faith, then her friend August, then Wesley, then Xander, most recently Buffy Summers who died only six months ago and also Anna herself, who was briefly killed in the fight with Riana, but she was revived. After making sure Willow and Oz were in the position to help everyone, Anna kicked the door down and headed out into the hall.
Anna easily staked a vampire that had a man hauled into the air by his throat. But there were too many vampires to slay at one time and too many people to save at the same time. She sheathed her stake into it's leather pouch around her waist and threw her hands up into the air, she pushed forward off the floor and flipped down the hall like an acrobat, kicking vampires out of her way as she went along. She kept going until she reached the end of the hall and crashed through the door into the next room. She decided that she had given the humans in the hall the opportunity to either escape into the room she had come from or gain the upper hand against the vampires in the hall.
This room was smaller than the last, had only one blacked out window and was cluttered with desks and smashed up computers, it also had stairs that led to the floor above, which is what the group had been looking for. In one corner, away from the staircase stood four operatives, three men and a woman, Anna only recognized the woman who had briefly trained her before her watcher showed up from England. They were backed into the corner by five vampires and the humans only had a sword, a cross and a stake between them. The woman screamed as one of the vampires got close enough to snap one of the men's neck. But he didn't get a chance to do it again. Anna swung forward in the air, in a sweeping motion, all parts of her body left the ground completely as she flew through the air. Both feet made solid contact with that vampire's face and, as she spun, her fists smashed into another vampire's face before she landed on both feet, she'd obviously been practicing that.
She shouted a deafening karate cry before throwing a vampire through the blacked out window, killing the vampire and protecting the humans with the beams of sunlight that flowed like water through the hole. Luckily the sunlight made a clear path through the vampires over to the staircase, Anna handed the woman the discarded sword the man had dropped and motioned to the staircase.
"Go." She said. "Get what we came for. I'll hold them off, if there are vamps up there, ignore them. Get the prize and throw it outside into the sun."
The three operatives ran for the stairs, careful to stay in the sun's lethal beams, one vampire attempted to grab the sword-wielding woman but was held at bay by the sunlight. Now, the remaining four vampires turned to face their enemy, many of them would have probably seen her, or at least heard of her. But none of these vampires had ever met this slayer, cause if they had they wouldn't of got away. This slayer made sure every nest they took out was entirely clean before moving on. Even though the Kakchiquels were no longer an issue, there we still a few vamps around and even to this day Anna had to take out quite big nests.
With a sharp knee to the chest and spin kick to the face-and obviously a stake- two more vampires turned to dust at her feet. She leaped into the air and pinned another to the floor the other one came up behind her, but she caught him off guard with a back kick he didn't see coming. She staked the pinned vampire and spun to face the remaining vampire. He caught her in the face with two quick punches, she rebounded with a round house kick and got a hard backhand in return. Anna dodged two more punches and a kick and planted her stake into the creature's back with a satisfying crunch of bone.
The seventeen year old slayer literally flew up the staircase and came out into a large room, almost like a conference room of some kind, she sped over to a small table in the centre of the room where the three operatives that had escaped stood in awe. On the table was a small amulet that radiated power even the smallest child could sense, around it was a strange force, it looked as if the air around it had a tint of blue energy in it. Anna looked at one of the men, who had a large burn up his arm.
"What happened?" Anna asked.
"I tried to take it." The operative answered in pain. "It shot me with some kind of energy field."
"How do we release it?" The woman asked.
"You don't." Anna replied. "I do."
The young slayer took the woman's sword, pulled back the sleeve of her black top and made a clean slice down her outstretched palm, blood trickled down her hand and onto the energy field, with a spark of electric blue light the field evaporated. Anna grabbed the amulet and put it round her neck as the floor began to shake violently, a large crack ruptured the floor nearby and the operatives ran for the stairs. The floor suddenly exploded in a shower of wood, plaster and dust. Six vampires were thrown up with the explosion and were dust before they hit the floor. As the mist cleared, Anna could make out the form of Willow's body, surrounded in a magickal, dangerous-looking blood red, she floated through the debris and mist and stopped in front of Anna, who was again brushing dust out of her pink hair.
"Hey." Anna said with a smile. "Nice spell, good way to damage my hair even more though."
"Hi." Willow said but ignored the rest of Anna's comments. "I am never doing that spell again."
"Why? Cause you messed up my hair?"
"NO. Because I hit Simon on the head with a plank of wood and kinda smashed the place up a bit too much."
Anna giggled and ran a hand through her hair. She had forgotten about the amulet until her hand brushed it when she tried to stop herself laughing. It was hard because it was even harder to find a reason to laugh, even though the Kakchiquels had been taken care of, the vampires were getting easier to kill and many had began to flee Sunnydale, there was a new evil rising. The vampiress Riana had arrived in Sunnydale two months ago, she was a powerful vampire that they had all underestimated, including Buffy, who had died at Riana's hands. She had gained many minions and killed a lot of people, she was attempting to finish what the Kakchiquels had started, but the council and obviously Anna had thwarted all her plans so far, including a resurrection spell to bring Camazotz back to life and get the vampires juiced up again. That's what the amulet was for but now Willow would dispose of it, and the spell was impossible to cast without it.
Anna handed Willow the golden amulet that had a purple crystal embedded in it. Willow waved a hand over it and the purple crystal cracked and smashed. Then a purple light shone from her hand and the amulet crumbled to dust. Anna spun at a sound, hoping to see Riana behind her, but it was just her watcher, Jaime coming up the stairs.
"Good lord." He said, looking at the mess of the room. "What a destructive spell."
"You're telling me!" Anna said. "Look at my hair!"
"What? Oh yes, very nice." Jaime said, Anna glared at him.
Tara then ran up the stairs and hugged Willow tightly, kissed her and turned to Anna and Jaime. "Maybe you three should rest now? It's been a long day."
With the amulet destroyed, Riana's plans were ruined. So Anna agreed to rest a while, at least until tomorrow, when she would begin a training schedule again, and until Riana's next plan was revealed. Anna, Willow, Tara and Jaime headed back down the stairs, in the room below, the three operatives were nowhere to be seen so Anna presumed they had fled the building. In the hall there were no vampires left, the surviving operatives that could still walk had gone to get help while dying or dead men and women lay on the floor, in pools of their own and other people's blood.
Anna felt horrible leaving them there but she knew there was nothing she could do for them, they would have to wait for the medics. Then she saw Michelle lying near the stairs to go down, she had two holes in her neck and blood in her open mouth. There was something Anna could do for her though, she reached down and slammed a stake in the dead woman's heart, just as her face began to change into the face of a vampire. She turned to dust before she could even open her eyes. Anna held back tears when she had to do the same to a trainee watcher who had disobeyed orders and followed them into the building, he was only eighteen. With a sigh and a tug at her heart Anna followed her three mentors down the stairs and out of the building.
Anna looked up at the plain-looking office building, it seemed strange to see it in sunlight after what had gone on inside it, death and fighting normally happened in the darkness not in the sunlight. She climbed into the back of a black SUV and closed her eyes to block out the sound of the remaining injured operatives, they were in pain, and there was nothing she could do.
Anna leaned her back against the cold black metal in an attempt to cool herself down from the fight, when she got back to base she was going to have a very long cold shower. Talking of the base, she looked out the front window and saw them pulling up to where they all lived, this was a new base of operations, a large hotel that had over three hundred rooms for residence and a few that were big enough for training and conferences. But, more importantly, it was privately owned, meaning that vampires needed an invitation to enter the building. Their previous location had been a public hospital so they couldn't keep vampires out, no matter how many times Willow tried.
Anna, Willow, Tara and Jaime got out the van and headed towards the solid oak doors of the Spanish styled hotel, Anna also noticed that most of the people she had seen in the first room were still alive and well, and getting out of other vans that were starting to pull up. Anna ran over to Jessica and pulled on her arm.
"Jessica?" She said. "What did you do with the bodies?"
"There were too many." She answered with a tear in her eye. "We burned the building down to make sure no one rose."
"Don't worry we'll sort it out."
"I know. Oh, we got a call from the office." Jessica said. "They wanna see you."
"Okay, thanks." Anna and Willow left Jaime and Tara in the main hall and headed up the stairs to the right, after they got to the top they had to make three more right turns before getting to 'the office.' It wasn't actually an office but it's where the executives worked, they had been called in to handle things after Buffy died because Willow wasn't up to it.
Anna politely knocked on the door and waited for a reply. She didn't have to wait long until Rachel Sanchez, a watcher who had climbed rank very quickly, opened the door. Anna and Willow stepped inside and were told to sit down on the two chairs in front of a large desk. On the other side of the desk were seven chairs, all occupied by five men and two women, she recognized them as the executives.
"Hello." One of the women, Freya Bedford said. "I trust the operation went well?"
"Yes ma'm." Anna answered.
"Good." One of the men, Daniel West said. "Then on to business. We have someone we'd like you to meet. Cassie! Could you come here please?!"
Through the door across the room, a girl walked into the room, she was tall, white, about fifteen, she had long light brown hair and green eyes. She was dressed all in black, but not as a fashion style, it was obviously work clothes. She wore a gold cross on a chain around her neck, and had a stake strapped to her arm with leather belts.
"Anna, this is Cassie." Freya said, but Anna didn't need the rest of the statement. "The new slayer."
Cassie stepped forward and brushed a bit of dust out of Anna's bright pink hair. "Hey." She said.
"Hi." Anna replied.
"We found her in Phoenix." Daniel butted in on the greetings. "She agreed to come here and help with our……problem."
"Uh………..okay." Was all Anna could manage.
