"I don't know what else to do" said Elena sighing. "Every plan we have to get rid of him never works... maybe we should just give him what he wants"

"No!" said Stefan

"And let him use you as his personal blood bank whenever he wants to sire a new hybrid? I don't think so" Damon said

"Fighting him is putting everybody I care about in danger and we're not getting anywhere. He's ganna win anyway. Why not keep the death count low. We can make a deal with him"

"I'm not even listening to this anymore. Give in to Klaus and I'll kill everyone you care about myself" Damon said, opening his eyes wide on the last word and he stormed out leaving Elena near tears.

"He's just upset Elena, don't take that too seriously" Stefan said sitting next to her. " I can't say that I blame him"

"What other choice do we have?"

"We'll figure something out...I'm not ganna let you surrender to Klaus." She put her head on his shoulder and they sat like that a while when Bonnie came in.

"Um Elena, I think I found something"

A little while later, Bonnie, Elena, Stefan, Damon, Jeremy were in Elena's kitchen.

"So I've been reading my grams grimroe and she talks about some chosen vampire slayer, supposed to have superhuman strength and a new one is supposed to be chosen every time one dies..."

"What are you eight?" Damon said "You still believe in Santa Claus? The vampire slayer isn't real. Thats just a myth to keep us vampires inline"

"I take it you've heard of her" Bonnie said.

"Is this what you called this little meeting for? Because I have some other things I could be doing like twiddling my thumbs"

"Just listen" said Bonnie "so...remember my cousin that I met last year, at that masquerade party...she was with Katherine?" Elena nodded. "Well she was in London recently and she met the current slayer's watcher. He told her about how the slayer battled all these different demons and what not...a master vampire, a hell God, she even died twice"

"So you're saying you think she could beat Klaus?' Jeremy asked

"I mean its worth a shot...a hell God?"

"How can we get in touch with her?' Elena asked. Damon rolled his eyes

"Well they didn't exchange information, but she remembers his name...Rupert Giles? Maybe someone can look him up? Bath, London?"

"I got it" Jeremy said going to his computer

"Go ahead and waste you time on this foolishness. Don't look at me when Klaus sucks you all dry. Including your little slayer" Damon said making himself a drink and disappearing outside. Elena looked up at Stefan.

"Don't worry" He said, rubbing her back. "This just might work." At least he hoped.

A FEW DAYS LATER

SUNNYDALE

"So this guy can only be staked by a stake made from a certain tree." Buffy said, confirming what Giles just said, as she paced the magic shop. She couldn't believe Giles showed up on her doorstep with a rescue mission for all the way across the country. How did he figure she was up for this? He left and now he wants to play watcher again. Well...duty calls. She could use a trip out of town for a few days anyway.

"Yes, quite right"

"Okay...and they had some of these stakes..."

"And their own version of the scoobies" Xander chimed in.

"So what's the problem? Buffy asked folding her arms.

"They had to hand over most of the stakes to him as a part of some sort of deal. They battled him a number of times." Giles said, cleaning his glasses. "They have a somewhat powerful witch on their side, a hybrid sired of Klaus himself and a number of vampires, not to mention the humans."

"Again, what's the problem?" Buffy said, speaking real slow as if he didn't understand.

"Well, he does have a host of other vampire/werewolf hybrids that he sired, and his siblings, while they're not hybrids they're very powerful. They're called the originals."

"The Original Vampires" Spike said. "I've heard of them, claim to be the first vampires, all our bloodlines trace back to them. Thats a load of bollocks if you ask me, I bloody well don't come from them"

"Be that as it may, they are very powerful. They possess powers your...breed if you will, do not"

"Like what?" Willow asked.

"Mind control, they're a little faster, crosses and such don't affect them, however they're vulnerable to vervain"

"Sound like a bunch of bloody ponces to me" Spike said, slightly offended. "I say I could take them out. No sodden Gypsy tricks needed."

"Do you think Dracula descended from them?" Willow asked. Giles thought about it.

"It's quite possible" He said. Spike rolled his eyes.

"Well" Said Buffy "I think it's time I show these Originals what a slayer is"

"You ganna need back-up?" Xander asked.

"Um hello?" Anya said from behind the counter. "If we're ganna be traveling across the country to save someone elses ass, don't you think we might ask to be paid?

"Demon girls got a point" Spike said, they all looked at Giles.

"They said we will be compensated accordingly" at that Buffy rolled her eyes, but she wasn't about to turn down some much needed money either.

"Okay, well what's the plan? Road trip?" Xander asked

"I don't think we all have to go. I mean how bad could it be" Buffy said.

"Buffy the originals are very powerful. I think it's best we have a little back up" Giles said. Buffy thought about it.

"Maybe we should call Tara, we might need an experienced witch." Buffy said. She figured the witch in Virginia might need some help."

"Willow, like we've discussed early, I feel it's perfectly acceptable to use your powers in moderation. With that being said we'll all be around to make sure you are not abusing your powers. I think you should be fine"

"Okay" Willow said. "But only if it's necessary"

"Okay...then I guess we don't have to involve Tara." Buffy said. Willow looked relieved at that. She wasn't ready to see her yet after their break up. "Spike?"

"I got your back Slayer"

"And of course Giles. Xander will you and Anya stay here with Dawn?"

"I'm not just ganna stay here while my friends go off to battle super vamp!"

"Xander...I need somebody to stay with Dawn." He still had a frown on his face "And you could have the important job of keeping our very own non super vamps under control"

"Hey!" Spike said. Buffy glared at him as if to say shut up.

"Okay...I'll babysit the hellmouth for you...and Dawn. But I won't be happy about it"

"Don't worry Xander, you can protect me in Sunnydale" Anya said.

"Okay. so, when do we leave?"

TWO NIGHTS LATER

Stefan payed for the scoobies flight in. Once they got to Virginia, Giles rented a car to drive to Mystic Falls. So around 8pm they pulled up to where they were supposed to meet everyone near the woods. Stefan thought it would be better if they drew less attention to the people in town. Him, Damon, Elena, Bonnie and Jeremy watched the car pull up. They didn't feel the need to bring the others along, however they were informed of what was going on.

Everyone got out of the car. The mystic falls crew eyed up the new arrivals, trying to figure out who the slayer was.

"Uh Stefan I presume?" Giles said, to noone in particular.

"Yeah, thats me thanks for coming" Stefan answered, shaking Giles hand.

"Yes, well happy to be of some assistance."

"Oh enough of all of this." Spike said with a smirk. "where is this big bad that's got you all shook?"

"And you are?" Damon said "Cause I was expecting some all great and powerful vampire slayer. Where is she?"

"And that would be me" Buffy said, stepping forward, before Spike could answer. Damon snorted.

"Well aren't you a pretty little thing? Come on guys, seriously, you think she's ganna save you all from Klaus?"

"Damon..." Stefan came to stand near his brother, trying to get him to relax.

"You think you can take me? Buffy said to Damon, who laughed, and then in a flash his hands were around Buffy's throat and she was pinned to a tree.

"Damon no!" Elena said. Stefan started to step forward to stop his brother, but Spike lifted his arm up to his chest, still smirking.

Buffy kneed Damon in his stomach and then grabbed his head and brought it down to her knee. He fell to the ground but he got up halfway and charged into her legs. They went flying into a dumpster on the other side of the road, away from the forest. She kicked him off of her and he went flying back towards the tree. Again he was on her in a flash and she started throwing punches to his face, finally she took him by the throat and banged him onto the top of the dumpster and then down on the ground. She straddled him and then took her stake out of her belt and raised it over his chest.

"Noooooooo!" Elena screamed.
