Hey, new chapter, I know it's been ages, but for you who go to school (or have gone to school), you should know they give out a lot of work, and I just haven't had energy to write. And I am sorry, I will try to update more often, can't promise more than that.

Disclaimer: I do not own Darren Shan and Buffy Summers or any of the persons in the books or the TV show. They belong to Darren Shan and the people that made Buffy the vampire slayer. (Don't really know who did it, nice if some one could point that out!)

Chapter 4

Darren and the gang came to the school, and put the vampaneze in a cage Giles had in the library. He didn't know what to do with this situation; he knew that the vampaneze could recognize him, and then it would be the wooden stake for him.

"Oh, he is waking up!" Willow said, and they heard a grown.

"What are you and your kind doing her in Sunnydale?" Buffy started immediately.

"I'm not talking," the vampaneze growled.

"You should, or we are going to get a bit more violent!"

"You'll never make me talk," the vampaneze spat, and looked up at Darren.

"Why don't you ask him why I'm here," the vampaneze grinned.

All of them turned towards him, with questions written on their face.

"Why would we ask him?" Giles asked with a mild voice. "Darren?" Giles directed the question towards him.

"I can't tell them, because I don't know why you're here," Darren said.

"You better start talking, or you will regret it," Willow threaten the vampaneze, though it didn't fit her to threaten people.

"Were here to take care of the prince," with that the vampaneze stuck a knife to his heart and died.

"The prince?" Xander asked. "I didn't know there were royal people in town."

"And there isn't," Willow said, screwing up her eyebrows. "Give me a moment!" She said, and went over to her computer.

Darren could feel eyes on him, and looked only to see Giles turning away. The man had read the book, with the non-go-poof vampires were in. And he probably knew what prince the vampaneze were talking about.

"No, there isn't any royal people in town, and there aren't coming any either."

"Why don't we call it a night, and think about it until tomorrow," Buffy said.

"I am all for that," Xander voted. And all of them went home, or all beside Darren went home. He went to the Bronze."So what do you think of that new guy? Cordelia asked the people sitting around her.

"He is kind of hot!" Harmony said.

"I know," Cordelia answered. "But he hangs around with Buffy and her gang."

"We could change that," Harmony. "Once we get our hands on him, he won't want to leave." Darren just happened to hear that. Did he want to leave the gang? They were getting close to figuring him out, so this could be his way out!

He went and got himself a drink.
"Hey, look there he is," one girl in the ring said.

"Go on Cordy, take him," Harmony said excitingly.

Darren could hear Cordelia's footsteps as she got closer.

"The next drinks on me," he heard her saying as she sat down beside him. Darren turned his head to look at her, she was really pretty. He couldn't deny that.

"So, your new in town, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am, not sure why I came here though," Darren had to admit.

"It is a rather interesting town, really!" she said, trying to convince him.

"Maybe," Darren answered thoughtfully.

They sat there chatting, and Darren found out that Cordy wasn't all that bad.

"As much fun as this has been, I have to go, school tomorrow, you know," Darren walked around the streets. He should take the opportunity to get some blood, while he could. So he walked in to an abandoned ally and waited.

While waiting he felt like he was being watched, but he could see anyone, and shrugged it off as nothing.

After much waiting, some one showed up, but it was some woman running away.

"HELP!" she screamed. "Help!" She ran right in to his arms. Darren could see the vampire that was following her.

"Let her go, and I'll spear you for desert!"

Darren knocked her in the head, so that she wouldn't run of, and attacked the vampire. They wrestled, hit each other and tried to block each others blows.

Darren suddenly rolled away, picking up a stake at the same time, got up and staked the vampire right in the heart, and it went poof. Darren threw the stake away, and approached the girl. Bent down and-

"Move and your dead," a male voice said. Darren cursed himself, and looked up.

"Step away from her," Darren didn't have much choice and did just that. The man went over to the girl, and checked her.
"I just saved her life, you know, why would I want to hurt her?"
"To get her blood," the voice answered. Shit, busted!

"Who are you?" Darren asked, looking at the guy, he hadn't seen him before.

"I'm Angel, and you're coming with me."Darren was taken to an apartment he didn't recognize. "Where are we?" Darren asked. The door opened up, and there stood Giles.

"Angel," Giles said surprised, and them looked at him, "and Darren. This is a surprise," Angel walked in, taking Darren with him.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"I just stopped," Angel looked at Darren. "Darren here, from killing a
girl." Giles looked towards him, looking for an answer.

"I just saved her from a vampire, and you're saying I tried to kill her!"
Giles called Buffy, Xander and Willow, and they were all waiting for him to
explain. "Is Angel telling the truth, did you try to kill her?" Buffy asked.

"No, I just."

"So you weren't trying to drink her blood," Angel interrupted.

"…" Darren didn't know what to say. If he did say yes, that he did, and that he was a vampire, Buffy would stake him, and if not… Who knew what would happen.

"Well?" Buffy asked.

"If we say that Darren is a vampire," Giles started, holding up a hand stopping Darren from interrupting. "He managed to get in to my apartment without an invitation."

Darren looked at everybody. Okay, go-poof-vampires needed an invitation, to get in to a home, but Darren didn't want to lie, they were his friends. "Okay, look, Angels right, I did try to get that girls blood, but before you start staking me, I want to explain," Darren said holding up his hands to protect himself.

"I'm the prince the vampaneze are after. I am a half vampire from that book Giles had. I am still a vampire, and need blood to survive, but I wasn't going to kill her," Darren looked at Angel.
"What's the difference?" Buffy asked Giles.

"The difference is that Darren here, has a soul, and are considered good," Giles said looking at him.
