Chapter 14: Caught in the Act
The scream cut through the blackness of the night, and Buffy was almost scared that the police would find them out here. Fortunately, none arrived. And either the neighbors were deaf, or they were plainly used to this kind of things. But one glance at the grungy buildings neighboring the area, told her that they were unoccupied.
The slayer had almost thought that she was going to be bored to death if the vampires hadn't arrived. And judging from their clumsiness in fighting, they were newly risen vampires. She had already staked three or four, two of which refused to die silently, each either letting out a torrent of screams or a stream angry cursing.
Spike fought a couple of feet away from her where five vampires were leering at him. Before Buffy could yell out a 'do you need any help there?' a vampire lunged at her. He managed to land a good hit on her shoulder but it barely fazed the slayer. Buffy kicked him in his midsection as hard as she could, making him stumble backward, Buffy snatched her stake from her pocket and dusted him.
Two more pounced at her, which she took down easily with her handy double- wielded axe. Another four came running at her from a distance. Buffy took out her crossbow and hit them with practiced ease. She looked around for any more before helping Spike who was having a little trouble with an Elvis Presley impersonator. Buffy tossed him a stake since the blonde vamp seemed to have misplaced his own.
Spike hit Elvis hard in the chest, and was soon covered in a fine layer of dust. Spike brushed them off his leather duster and grinned at Buffy. "I was never a fan of Elvis, always thought he was gay."
"Yeah," Buffy agreed. "Kind of a surprise that he got married."
"So are we done for the night?" Spike asked glancing around the graveyard.
"I think we are," Buffy said with a tired sigh. Her spidey-sense told her that there wouldn't be any vampires around until the following night for the most. "That was a great fight," Buffy commented, as she was about to bend down to grab her backpack from the ground, a new voice made her stop dead.
"That was great alright, totally surprising." The voice said. Buffy and Spike spun around to face...Max and Alec. Spike was about to lunge at them when Buffy stopped him with a whispered: 'Don't'.
"Yeah Buffy, how come you didn't tell us that you were so good in fighting?" Alec asked, leaning casually against the stonewall of a catacomb.
"Look guys, I can explain." Buffy said, though not really sure how she was going to explain it. "I doubt that you'll believe a thing I'll say."
"Try us," Max said. "We've seen a lot more than you'll ever know."
"I'm a slayer," Buffy said with a sigh. At their confused looks, she plunged on with her story knowing there was no looking back. "One girl in all the world is chosen to fight vampires and demons....and that girl is the slayer...me."
"So the rumors were true," Alec said shaking his head in disbelief. "Vampires do exist."
Max nodded. And Buffy was a little bewildered at how fast they could accept this tiny little bit of fact. "So—you guys don't think I'm some kind of weirdo gone psycho?"
"Nah," Alec said waving it off. "We've seen far more than vampires."
"Oh really? Like what?" Spike asked arching an eyebrow.
"No offense or anything, but we gotta make sure that we trust you guys before we can tell you." Max said. "Besides, we don't even know who you are." She said pointedly to Spike.
"The name's Spike." The vampire introduced himself.
"And you're a slayer too?" Alec asked.
"Of course he's not!" Max said nudging him in the ribs. "Weren't you listening to a thing Buffy said? A slayer is a girl."
"Well aren't you a girl?"
Spike growled at that reply and Buffy had to grab the back of his shirt before he can go full out on Alec. "For your information, I'm a vampire." And before time could reach a split second, his face transformed into a vampiric mask.
"Ugh, that's disgusting." Max said wrinkling her nose in disgust. Spike changed back to his normal features before Alec could crack another joke.
"So you guys aren't weirded out that a vampire is killing vampires too?" Buffy asked still wasn't sure on why her two friends weren't so fazed by the whole thing.
"People change," Max said simply. "No matter how dark your past is, you can always have a brighter future."
"That's so touching," Alec said, pretending to dab imaginary tears from his eyes. That earned him a smack in the head.
Buffy was about to ask them why they were here, when Max grabbed at her abdomen and fell to the ground in a shaking fit.
"Uh-oh," Alec said rushing to her side. "We better get her outta here."
A/N: Can anybody tell me the summary of Buffy's past? Who was Kendra? What happened between Faith and Buffy? (My e-mail ad is max_494000@yahoo.com) It would really help in the following chapters...and I couldn't find any site that would help me... :-) REVIEW!
