Chapter 4: Asking for help

Alec's hotel room

He head been hiding out there for what seemed like days, afraid to go outside, or even to go see Buffy. She may say that she can take care of herself but she won't be able to if she doesn't even know what she's up against. These are vampires or demons coming after her. They are highly trained supersoldiers, killing machines that will stop it nothing to complete their mission.

Alec got up from where he was sitting and walked over to the window, he cautiously looked outside. He was expecting them to come, the fact that they hadn't showed up yet was a bit of surprise. According to Buffy something big was happing in Sunnydale this year and she needed all the man power she could get, she had asked him for help and he had accepted, of course that was before he turned his back on Manticore.

Alec nearly had a heart attack when the phone started ringing on the bed side table. He didn't know anyone who had the number, mostly because he never gave it out. He walked over to the phone slowly, and when the phone didn't stop ringing he picked it up.

"Hello?" he asked not sure of whom it could be on the other line.

"494," a voice said. "You are scheduled to report, where are you?" the person said on the other end of the phone.

Alec didn't say anything; he remained on the phone silently. He didn't want to go back to Manticore because they would never let him leave again. They would put him through re-indoctrination and he would forget all about Buffy that was something he didn't want to happen. He wanted to remember Buffy until he was old and on his death bed.

"494!" The voice said but still Alec remained silent. He knew they knew he was there on phone but he wasn't saying anything. "Fine we're coming to retrieve you," and then there was a dial tone. Alec knew he was in trouble and he needed to go somewhere were he would be safe from Manticore, but he didn't know anyone. The only person that came to his mind was Buffy, but he didn't want to put her through this kind of torture, yet he didn't want to go back to Manticore.

Buffy's house

She hadn't seen him in days; it was like he just disappeared off the face of the earth. And it wasn't helping that Angel was back from hell. She saw him the other night when she was patrolling the woods. He had run full steam into her without a second thought. But when she saw him then she thought it was just her imagination.

But later that week he showed up again when the school Jekyll & Hyde, also know as Derek. He had been doing the whole Jekyll & Hyde thing to keep his girlfriend under control. Well he finally lost it when he thought Oz, Willow's boyfriend, was cheating with her behind his back. He tried to kill Oz but Buffy, Faith, and Willow stopped him. Faith and Willow ran after Oz, whom turned out to be a werewolf, and Buffy went After Derek.

She caught up with him in one of the utility closets that was for the janitor. When she got there it was too late, Derek girlfriend was already beaten to death. Just as she was about to attack him Angel came to her rescue. She could even move when she saw him kill Derek. But then he got on his knees and hugged her and he kept saying her name like she was his savior.

Buffy was currently lying on her bed so when the knock came at her front door she was a little upset that she had to get up to get it. Of course normally her mother would get it that is if she wasn't away on business. Buffy walked out of her bedroom as another knock at the door sounded. "Coming!" she shouted as she walked downstairs to the door.

When she opened the door it was easy to say that she was shocked to see Alec standing before her. Considering that she hadn't seen him in little over a week. Ever since he was supposed to meet her at the Bronze but she never showed up. "Buffy," he said when he saw. "Can I come in?" he asked her.

"Yeah…sure," Buffy said as she stepped out of the way for him to enter. "Would you like anything to drink…we have…water," she said with a smile. "Sorry mom's outta town and I don't like to shop for that kind of stuff," she said.

"No I'm good thanks," he said as he walked into the living room and had a seat on the couch. "Buffy I actually came here to talk to you about something," he said as he watched her come and take a seat next to him. "Something bad is happening," he said.

"Yeah I know," she said as she looked at how scared he was.

"No this is beyond you; this is something you've never had to deal with." He paused. "They're coming for me," he said. "And I scared for you because these people coming for me are supersoldiers, just like me, but they don't care about anything, there only reason for living is to complete their mission. They will kill anyone or anything in their path," he said.

"Don't worry we'll handle it," she said as she took his head in her hands. He looked so scared that she wanted to kill the assholes that made him like this. "I promise," she said as she kissed his forehead. "Now why don't you go upstairs and get some rest. "My room's the one at the end of the hall," she said.

"I can't stay here I'm putting you in danger," he said standing up.

"They don't even know you're here," she said. "Now relax and go get some rest," she said pointing to the stairs. "Nothing is going to happen in eight hours that you'll be asleep don't worry." She said.

"But they'll kill you," he said taking old of her.

"They can try," she said. "And trust me it's not the first time someone been after my life," she paused. "That was supposed to sound more comforting," she added with a smile.

He brought his lips to here in a quick kiss. "Thanks Buffy," he said as she started to walk up the stairs.

"Just sleep," she said as she went back over and sat on the couch, she knew by the sound of his voice that she should be more scared then she currently was but it wasn't any different then before. Someone out to kill her, that was so over played in her life.

Sunnydale High (Next day)

Buffy walked into the library the next morning with Alec on her heals. She walked straight over to the table where Xander, Willow and Oz were sitting. She didn't know where Cordelia was but she really didn't care.

"Hey man, long time no see," Xander said when he saw Alec. "How have you been?" he asked but Alec said nothing. "Okay what's up Buff, you look all business." Xander added.

"I need your guys help," Buffy said. "Alec has some serious people after him. I'm not telling you fight these guys because you will lose but if someone you've never seen before is coming toward you and Alec the yell for me because I won't be far away," she said. "This is serious, these people coming will kill you," she added. "I need someone watching over Alec when I can't," she added.

"Sure thing Buff, no problem," Willow said.

"Yeah Buffy, we got your back," Oz added.

"Thanks guys," she said as she turned and looked at Alec. "See everything's going to be fine she said as she brought her lips to his. "Trust me," she added as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Alec didn't say anything because he knew if these guys were helping, they were going to die.
