Hey guys, sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I'm moving to college today so the posting schedule is going to be a little different. I'm going to try and post every week, but it all depends on how much time I have. Thank you so much for reading and writing comments, I love you all!
Bad Eggs
Two weeks had passed since the innocent with Ted, and everything had settled into a sort of normal. During the day, I helped my father in the library, sneaking out every once and a while to meet up with Xander in the supply closet. Then at night I hunted vampires with Buffy. I hadn't had any run ins with Drusilla or any of her men in all that time, and all the visions of Spike had disappeared.
Xander and I stood in the usual supply closet making out like always, but this time, this time things were getting a little more serious.
"Xander." I said realizing that one of my legs had wrapped around his waist and my back was being pushed into the shelves.
"Shh," He said as he kissed me again. One hand was on my cheek and the other on my hips.
"Xander, I don't want you to be late for class." I started when Xander kissed my neck causing chills to run over my body.
"Who needs class." He said as he brought his lips back to mine, now both hands were on my hips.
"You do." I said pushing him back. "I don't want you to become like me and be a high school drop out."
"But school is so boring." Xander whined as he leaned into kiss me again.
"Too bad." I laughed pushing him away. "Now go." Quickly I pushed him out the door.
I waited for a moment before I left the supply closet as well, running straight into Principle Snyder.
"What were you doing in there?" He said seriously.
"Oh, I spilled some, uh coffee, in the uh, library, and I needed some cleaner." I said.
"Then where is the cleaner?" Snyder asked seeing that my hands were empty.
"I, well, I couldn't find it."
"I'll help you find it." Snyder said as he pushed me into the supply closet and shut the door behind him. I stayed silent as he reached over me grabbing the bottle of cleaner from behind me. "Here it is." He snapped handing it to me.
"Oh I must have missed it thank you." I said and I quickly burst out of the closet only to run straight into Cordelia.
"Watch it spaz!" She snapped as she looked at me. "What were you doing in there?" She asked and Principle Snyder walked out. "Oh," She said her face suddenly scrunching up in discust. "Ew gross, well I guess that explains why you haven't been fired yet."
"No Cordelia, it's not like that I…" I started looking at the bottle in my hands.
"Don't." She said as she quickly walked away.
I sighed as I put the cleaner back in the cupboard before going back to the library. Walking in I found Buffy.
"What are you doing here, don't you have class?" I asked seriously.
"It's just biology. Plus, I had vampire issues," She replied and I quickly sat on the counter.
"What issues?" I asked.
"There were some vampires at the mall and they were tougher than usual. Your dad is just looking them up for me." Buffy said. "I also just really didn't want to go."
I laughed as I went to help my father look, however I dind't know how we were going to do that based off of Buffy's description. Her description sounded just like any other vampire. But my father seemed to think he recognized who they were.
It seemed like only a moment before Willow and Xander burst into the library holding eggs.
"Buffy! How come you weren't in class?" Willow asked
"Vampire issues. Did Mr. Whitmore notice I was tardy?" Buffy asked as I made my way over to Xander giving him a kiss.
"I think the word you're searching for is 'absent'." Xander said.
"Tardy people show up." Willow said.
"Right," Buffy sighed.
"And, yes, he did notice, so he wanted to give you this." Willow said as she handed Buffy the egg and Buffy looked confused and I was also confused as to why they all had eggs.
"As far as punishments go this is fairly abstract." Buffy replied.
"No, it's your baby!" Willow smiled and I laughed. I had done this in school when I was there age, except mine wasn't an egg but a sack of flower.
"Okay, I get it even less." Buffy huffed.
"Well, you know, it's the whole 'sex leads to responsibility thing, which I personally don't get. You gotta take care of the egg. It's a baby. You gotta keep it safe and teach it Christian values." Xander said as he threw his egg up and caught it causing me to gasp.
"My egg is Jewish." Willow responded.
"Then teach it that Dreidel song." Xander said and I elbowed him the stomach, but Willow just smiled.
"I can't do this! I can't take care of things! I killed my Giga Pet. Literally, I sat on it and it broke." Buffy panicked as she set the egg down on a stack of catalogs
"You'll do fine!" I said. "I did this assignment when I was your age," saying this, I realized how old it made me sound.
"Success!" My father yelled as he came out of the cage with a book. "At last. Your playmate is a fellow of repute, it seems." He then moved to set down the right on top of Buffy's egg. Buffy gasped as she quickly moved the egg away from being crushed. I smiled as Xander and Willow stared at Buffy surprised at how defensive she was. "That's um, Lyle Gorch, and that one's his brother, Tector." My father said pointing to the picture in the book. "They're from Abilene. They, uh, they made their reputation by massacring an entire Mexican village in 1886." Dad then took off his glasses cleaning them.
"Friendly little demons." Buffy laughed
"That was before they became vampires." My father said seriously.
I looked at my father shocked, I couldn't imagine what they had done after they became vampires. Not only that but it made them incredibly more dangerous to deal with.
"B-but, um, the good news is that they're… not amongst the great thinkers of our times. I doubt if they're up too much. They're probably just drawn here by the, uh, Hellmouth's energy." My dad put his glasses back on.
" 'Nuff said! I propose Buffy and Kat slay 'em. All in favor?" Xander said raising his hand.
Willow did the same.
"I-I don't think you should underestimate them. I mean, y-you may need to have some help, if, if, if, if…" My dad froze as he notice that everyone but me was holding an egg. "Why do you all have eggs?"
"Don't ask." I laughed.
"Hey, maybe you can have Angel help you find the Gorches." Willow smiled.
"Yes! Yes, yes, that's not a bad idea. Strength in numbers." My dad and I could tell he was still confused.
"Well, then can I go!" Xander exclaimed upset.
"No, it will be fine." I smiled.
"Yeah but I have a feeling there will be a lotta hunting getting done with Buffy and Angel in that scenario." Xander said sarcastically causing me to smile.
"Please. Like Angel and I are just helpless slaves to passion. Grow up!" Buffy said when the bell rang for class. "Well I should probably head to class this time." She said and Willow followed her out.
"I have an open do you want to go to the supply closet." Xander said and all I could think of was Snyder.
"No, I uh, I'm not feeling too good." I said and Xander gave me a weird look. "Plus you need to study for your history test."
Xander groaned as I grabbed him by his hand and led him over to the table to help him study.
