The Vampires were back in full force. Running rampant throngh the alleys of Bellrose, Maryland, biting every living thing in their path.
For there was no Slayer to stop them, she had been gone for many years now. Her name was Buffy Summers, along with her friends Willow, the witch, Angel, Spike, two Vampires with souls, Anya, a Vengence Demon, and Xander, what he lacked in super powers, he made up for in heart, Buffy saved the world from Evil for 7 years. Sunnydale was on a Hellmouth, and after the apacolypse that destroyed the entire town, Willow cast the spell giving all of the potentials the strength of a Slayer. But that was all over now.
Vampires were in the graveyard of Bellrose, trying to obtain their next meal. Spike was acting as a Slayer.
"Hey!" A voice of a young female called from a short distance.
"Who are you?" One of the Vampires called to her.
"I'm the Slayer"
"There is no slayer"
Spike stood, looking confused.
The Vampires ran toward her ready to taste her blood. She fought with them, throwing one to the ground about to stake him as the other grabbed her from behind, choking her. Spike ran to help her. It's obvious she's a rookie, he though. Spike picked up the stake that the supposed slayer had dropped to the ground. The first vampire was now up off the ground, Spike fought with him. As the vampire swung at him, Spike grabbed his arm, twisting it, and drove the stake through his heart. Spike saw that the other vampire was still choking the girl. "Bloody hell," he said as he walked over to help her. The vampire saw him coming; he released the girl, and walked towards Spike. Spike swung at the vampire, but the vampire ducked the punch, and put Spike in a headlock. Spike grabbed the back of the vampire's neck, and flipped him. The vampire landed on the ground in front of Spike. Before he could get up, Spike staked him.
The girl stood in front of Spike, and sighed, "Thanks."
Spike looked at her like she was crazy, "What the bloody hell was that, if you're really the slayer, then why the hell did I just save your ass?" Spike said, out of breath from slaying the vampires.
"Well, that was the first time I've actually slayed a vampire."
"You didn't slay them, I did! Anyway, you can't be a slayer because years ago Willow cast a spell to…
"To give all the potentials the power of a Slayer, blah, blah, blah… I know. In case you didn't notice, this place is over run with vampires; didn't you think that was suspicious?"
"Well, yea, I guess."
"Demonic forces have reversed her spell, and that's why I'm here, and yes, I am a slayer, THE slayer."
"If you're here, then that means that Buffy's..."
"She's not dead, she trained me."
"How is that possible?"
"Once a Slayer reaches a certain age, she no longer has her powers, and after she got word that Willow's spell had been reversed, she found me, and taught me everything she knows. Anyway, who are you?"
"Spike, I suppose you've heard of me?"
"Actually I have, but I wasn't expecting to meet you, Buffy said you…"
"Died? Yea, well, that's what she thinks. We haven't seen each other since I sacrificed myself to save Sunnydale." He said as he lit a cigarette. "Well since I told you my name, how 'bout you tell me yours."
"Alexandria Harper, call me Lexie. You're pretty good at fighting vampires considering you're one of them"
"You'd be surprised."
"Hey, how about you and I team up, us against the vampires. What do you think?"
Spike took another puff off his cigarette, "What's in it for me?"
"Well, you and I would probably stay alive, or in your case, keep you from being dust, if we fought together."
He laughed, "I saw how you fought back there… you need work."
"I told you, that was the first time I've ever actually fought with vampires, I'll get better, I wouldn't be the 'chosen one' if I didn't have the potential to be great, right?"
He notice she didn't say she "slayed" the vampires, he'd done that, "Well, I guess you're right, they wouldn't have chosen you if didn't have potential. I guess it might be a good idea to team up, if I help you out, then maybe you won't get yourself killed." God, I'm gunna regret this, he thought. "But this doesn't mean I like you."
Lexie gave him a half-smile, "Who said I liked you?"
He looked at her annoyed, "You know Sunnydale wasn't the only Hellmouth, Bellrose is on one, too." Spike warned.
"So I've heard, looks like I'm in for the ride of my life."
