Buffy woke up in a coffin, 'not again,' she thought but this time it was different she didn't feel panicked by lacking air to breath in fact she didn't need to breath at all. She also felt filled with a new strength that surged through her body as she broke open the coffin and through the earth, pulling her body into the cool night air.

Buffy brought her hands up to her face and felt how it was distorted into the characteristic vampire game face that she had become so familiar with over the years. I'm a vampire. Buffy felt her stomach grumble and sensed a yearning for fresh warm blood. She grinned and set off in search of food.

"We have to find her," Spike said. Willow, Kennedy, Dawn, and Andrew were all sitting in Buffy's apartment in Rome. The other scoobies weren't' there because they were in various other parts of the globe searching for slayers.

"We will don't worry," Willow said, taking charge, "We'll search in teams. Dawn and I, Kennedy and An…"

"No, I am not getting stuck with him again."

"Hey," Andrew said in protest.

"Okay, fine Spike can…."

"No, I'm going on my own," he said and with that he left.

"Okay, Kennedy goes solo and Andrew stay here and man the phones. In case she calls or comes back," Willow said and with that they all left in search of Buffy, completely unaware of what had happened to her.

"What if we don't find her?" Dawn asked Willow as they searched one of the local cemeteries.

"We will."

"But what if she's….."

"She's not. Besides if she is one of us will bring her back like we always do," Willow said, trying to make light of the situation.

Dawn gave her a weak smile. She knew Willow meant well and was just trying to make her feel better but it wasn't working. She was worried for her big sister. She had to be in trouble if she wasn't she would have called by now.

Buffy stood in front of her apartment and knocked on the door, "Andrew open up and invite me in. I forgot my key."

She could see Andrew's eye through the peep hole, "Buffy?"

"Yes, now let me in," she said as Andrew quickly opened the door and let her in. He closed the door behind them, "Thanks."

"Where have you been young lady, we've been worried sick."

"Yeah, I got into some demon trouble but I took care of it," Buffy said, shrugging off her coat nonchalantly.

Andrew couldn't help but notice the 2 vampire puncture wounds in her neck, "So what kinda of demon was it?" Andrew asked sitting on the couch and crossing his legs nervously.

"I don't know it was just big you know and hairy."

"You know what we're out of milk I'm gonna go run down to the corner market and get some," Andrew said, making a dash for the door but just as he was about to open it Buffy's arm pushed in closed again.

She pinned him against the door, "Oh come on Andrew don't you want to play?" Buffy transformed, putting her game face on and Andrew let out a girly shriek.

Spike walked around town searching for Buffy but he had no luck until he caught the scent of her. He followed it and it led him back to Buffy's apartment. He was standing in front of her front door when he heard a scream. Quickly he slammed open the door and ran inside. He found Buffy, who was now a vampire trying to eat Andrew.

Spike grabbed her and threw her against the opposite wall as he transformed into his vampric face.

"She bit me," Andrew yelled from where he was sitting on the couch. He had his hand over his neck, where Buffy had taken a bite.

Buffy kicked Spike hard sending him toppling backwards over the couch. He quickly got up and pushed the couch into her slamming her into the wall, where he knocked her unconscious.

"Andrew, you can come out know," Spike said, looking at the spot where Andrew was hiding under the table.

"I wasn't hiding. No not me," he said with a nervous giggle.

Spike just frowned, "Help me tie her up will you?"

Buffy's sire walked back to the site where he buried her and he was dismayed to find her grave empty.

"You told me you had turned a slayer," a voice hissed behind him grabbing the vampire by the back of the neck roughly and threw him to the ground.

"I-I did," the vampire stammered out to his vampire master, "She awoke early."

"Well you best find her."

"I will. I promise. You can count on me."

"No, I really can't."

"Rachel, Chris you know who this slayer is?" the master asked two of his other vampire henchmen. The girl had long blonde hair and the boy had distinct Italian features, dark skin and dark hair.

"Yes master," the girl said.

"Good, you find her then. Bring her back to me and you will be rewarded," he said and with that the 2 vampires ran off into the night to fine the slayer.
