Time Skip

Aurora POV

It was the morning of the next day, the girls and I were walking up some stairs to the courtyard. When we heard our names called. We tuned as we saw Ford and Damien.

"Buffy! Aurora!" Ford and Damien exclaimed.

"Ford," Buffy responded.

"Damien," I muttered.

"We had a great time last night. Well, an interesting time," Damien told us.

"We're glad," Buffy replied as we crossed our arms.

"Do you want to go out again tonight?" Ford asked.

"Not busy," I replied as we needed to catch them in the act.

"We sort of had an idea. It's a… it's a secret. Kind of want to surprise." Damien said.

I got a vision; Ford and Damien… A room of people, vampires feeding on them… Drusilla… Spike.

"We like surprises," Buffy replied.

I gave Kate, Kyra and Jeremy a look. They knew Buffy and I would have to go but they would follow close behind with the others and Angel.

"Can you meet us here?" Ford asked.

"Sure," I answered.

"At nine?" Damien questioned.

"At nine," Buffy repeated.

"It's going to be fun!" Ford exclaimed as they smiled and walked off.

We stood there for a moment before the girls, Jeremy and I uncrossed our arms and heading off to find the others.


We walked into the school and down the hall to see Willow and Xander sitting on the steps.

"Aurora!" Willow exclaimed as she got up.

I didn't really want to face her but we did.

"Did, uh, Angel…" Willow stuttered.

"He told me everything and I told the others," I responded.

"I'm sorry, we kept stuff from you," Willow told us.

"It's okay," Buffy replied as she weakly smiled.

"When Angel came to my room he was just really concerned for you and the baby," Willow whispered. "And we didn't want to say anything in case we were wrong."

"Did you find out what Ford and Damien were up to?" Xander questioned.

"We will," Jeremy answered as we walked off to find Damien and Ford.


Third Person

Back with Xander and Willow as they watch the girls and Jeremy walk off to find out what Ford and Damien are up to.

"Angel was in your room?" Xander questioned as something clicked in Xander's head.

"Ours is a forbidden love," Willow responded as she nodded.

Xander didn't know what to say before they walked off.


Across town at the Sunset Club, a girl was drumming her fingers as Diego paced nervously.

"Chantarelle, is everything ready?" Ford questioned as he and Damien came down the stairs.

"Of course, it's ready," Diego replied as he tried to get Ford's and Damien's attention. "Hi, I took care of it. I always take care of it."

"Is it time? Tonight?" Chantarelle asked.

"You nervous?" Damien questioned as he poured goblets of wine.

"Yes, no. I'm ready for a change. Do you really think they'll bless us?" Chantarelle answered.

"I know they will," Ford lied as he handed her goblet.

Damien smiled at Chantarelle and she smiled back.

Damien and Ford were lying to them. Ford and Damien are only getting turned, the rest of them are only getting fed on.

"Everything's falling into place," Damien said as he took a sip of wine.

"What about your friends? Are they coming?" Diego questioned.

"What are you talking about?" Ford asked.

"Your friends. They came. Last night. Two guys and a girl," Diego answered.

"One was mean," Chantarelle added.

"Oh, Christ! Why didn't you tell us about this?" Damien questioned.

"I have to do everything around here. Sorry Misters Flawless Plan Guys., it slipped my mind." Diego responded.

"It's going be alright, isn't it?" Chantarelle asked.

Ford and Damien winced in pain as they rubbed their fingers on their foreheads.

"They're not going to let us down?" Chantarelle questioned.

"It's going to be fine," Ford lied as their pain passed.

"I need them to bless me," Chantarelle exclaimed.

"It's going to be fine!" Damien told her.

But what they didn't know was that they were being watched.


Outside the club…

Aurora POV

Before heading into the club, Buffy and I turned to Kate, Kyra and Jeremy. Kate, Kyra, Jeremy and I placed a quick protection spell over my baby.

"If we don't come out by sundown, two of you go and get Angel, Xander and Willow," I told them.

They nodded in agreement.

"We'll see when we get out," Buffy told them as we walked towards the entrance and walked in.


We walked in to see and hear Damien try to reassure the blonde girl, "It's going to be fine!" Damien told her.

"No," Buffy replied as they looked towards us.

"It's really not," I told them.

"It's kinda drafty in here," We heard Ford tell the boy in a blue cape.

"I'm sorry, Ford and Damien. We just couldn't wait till tonight! We're rash and impulsive. It's a flaw." Buffy apologized as we came down the stairs.

"We all have flaws," Damien replied.

"We're still a little fuzzy on exactly what yours is. We think it has to do with being two lying scumbags." I told them as we reached them.

"Everybody lies," Ford responded.

"What do you want, Ford, Damien? What's this all about?" Buffy asked them.

"I really don't think you'd understand," Damien responded.

"I don't need to understand. We just need to know," I replied.

"We're going to be one of them," Ford told us.

"You want to be a vampire?" Buffy questioned.

"We're going to," Damien voiced.

"You know, vampires are a little picky about who they change ov…" I started to say. "You were going to offer them a trade!" As I figured it out.

"I don't think we want to talk anymore," Ford told us.

Buffy and I grabbed them by their throats and shoved against the wall.

"Yeah, well, we're still feeling awfully chatty. You were going to give them, us! Tonight!" Buffy voiced.

"Yes," Damien replied as he nodded his head.

"You had to know we'd figure it out," I responded.

"Actually, we were counting on it," Ford told us as he smiled.

We let them go as they coughed a bit and laughed.

"What's supposed to happen tonight?" Buffy asked them.

"This is so cool! It's just like it played in our heads. You know that part where you both ask me, 'what's supposed to happen?'" Damien answered. "It's already happening."

Damien and Ford snickered as the inner door clanged closed. We ran back upstairs and pound on the door.

"Rigged up special. Once it's closed it can only be opened from the outside. As soon as the sun sets they'll be coming." Ford told us.

I quickly grabbed my cellphone from the hidden compartment in my jacket and sent a quick text to Kyra saying 'Vamps coming at sundown. Go get the others.' Kyra sent back 'Ok.' I quickly hid my phone back into its pocket and sealed it.

"If these people are still around then they get here…" I said as Buffy and I looked back towards them.

"We'll be changed. All of us," The boy interrupted me.

"We're going achieve to a new level of consciousness! Become like them. Like the Lonely Ones." The blonde girl said.

"This is the end, Buffy, Aurora. No one is getting out of here alive," Damien told us.

"There's got to be another way out of here!" Buffy said as she hurried down the stairs with me behind her.

"This is a bomb shelter. We knew we weren't going to be able to overpower you both. But this is three feet of solid concrete. Trust us when I say we're in for long haul." Ford told us.

"At least let the other people go," I voiced.

"Why are you fighting this? It's what we want!" The blonde girl said.

What they didn't know when you become a demonic vampire, you may be young and beautiful but your still a demon with no soul or humanity.

"It's our chance for immortality," The man with a blue cape replied.

"This is a beautiful day, can't you see that?" The blonde girl questioned.

"What we see is that, right after the sun goes down, Spike and his friends are eating out at the all you can eat moron bar," Buffy tried to tell them.

"Okay, that's it. We should gag them," The man with blue cape mentioned.

"I think you should try," I dared them.

"They're unbelievers. They taint us," The man with blue cape muttered.

"We're trying to save you! You are playing in some serious traffic here! Do you understand that?" Buffy exclaimed.

"You're going die! And the only hope you have of surviving this is to get out of this pit, right now…" I added to her rant.

"And my god, could have a dorkier outfit?" Buffy pointed out.

I silently laughed. Buffy and Kyra are the same with fashion.

The Man with the blue cape was offended at what Buffy just said as the blonde girl smiled.

"We got to back them up, D. You look like a big idiot," Damien said as Ford's alarm went off.

"6:27, Sunset," Ford replied as he looked at his watch.

The blonde girl, the man with blue cape D, Damien and Ford walked away from us as Buffy and I continued to look around for another way out.


Third Person

Across town at Spike's warehouse, he was getting ready with his group of vampires.

"When we get there, everybody spread out. Two men on the door, first priorities are the slayers, everything else is fair game, and let's remember to share, people." Spike told them as he walked over Drusilla. "Are you sure you're up for this, love?" He asked her.

"I want a treat. I need a treat," Drusilla voiced out.

"And special one you'll have. Lucius!" Spike exclaimed as he held out his car key. "Bring the car around." As they walked out of the warehouse.


Back at the Club…

Aurora POV

Buffy and I ran back upstairs to the door as Ford and Damien followed us.

"Hey, you never give up, do you?" Ford questioned us.

"No, we don't," I responded.

"That's a good quality in a person. Too many people, they just lay back and take it, but us…" Damien started to say.

"Us? We have something in common now?" Buffy questioned.

"More than you think," Ford answered.

"Yeah, well, let me explain something to you. You're what we call the bad guy." I told them.

"I guess we are!" Damien chuckled.

"These people aren't going get changed, are they? The rest of them are just food." Buffy replied as we looked down at the group of people.

"Technically, yes, But we're in. Damien and I will become immortal," Ford voiced.

"Well, I've got a news flash for you, brain trust: that's not how it works. You die and a demon takes up shop in your old house…" Buffy told him.

"It may walk and talk and it remembers your life, but it will not be you," I finished her sentence.

"It's better than nothing," Damien responded.

"And your lives are nothing?" Buffy questioned.

Damien and Ford snickered at Buffy had said.

"These people don't deserve to die!" I exclaimed.

"Well, neither do we! But apparently no one took that into consideration, 'cause we're still dying." Damien responded.

Buffy and I realized what they were up to now.

"We look good, don't we? Well, let us tell you something." Ford said in anger. "We've got maybe six months left and by then what they bury won't even look like us. They'll be bald and skinny and smell really bad."

"No, we're not going out that way," Damien added.

We turned away from what they said.

"I'm sorry, Sommers-Gilbert, Summers. Did we screw up your righteous anger riff? Does the nest of tumors that's liquefying my brain kind of spoil the fun?" Ford questioned.

"We're sorry. We had no idea. But what you're doing is still very wrong." Buffy told them as we faced them.

"Okay, well you try throwing up for 24 straight hours because the pain in your head is so intense, and then we'll discuss the concept of right and wrong." Damien told us as they pointed down towards the people on the bottom floor.

"These people are sheep. They want to be vampires 'cause they're lonely, miserable or bored. We don't have a choice," Ford added.

"You have a choice. You don't have a good choice, but you have a choice! You're opting for mass murder and nothing you both say is going to make that okay." I exclaimed.

"You think we need to justify ourselves to you both?" Damien asked.

"I think this is all part of your sick fantasy drama! Isn't this exactly how you imaged it? You both tell us how you've suffered and we feel sorry for you..." Buffy answered.

"Well, we do feel sorry for you, and if those vampires come in here and start feeding, we'll kill you both ourselves." I finished her sentence.

"You know what? We really did miss you," Ford told us.

We could only at them in shock as we heard a car screeching to a halt outside.

"Ford, help us stop this!" Buffy exclaimed as we tried to get them to stop this from happening.

Ford and Damien remained quiet as Buffy and I ran down the stairs again.

"People, listen to us!" I screamed as Ford and Damien followed us. "This is not the mothership, people! This is ugly death coming to play!"

As I got to the bottom step, Ford backhanded Buffy across the face and she fell down the stairs onto me as I fell to the floor with my hands against my stomach. Ford hit Buffy again as we tried to get back up. She fell on top of me as we heard the outside door open. I saw the blonde girl start up the stars as Ford checked on Buffy and I to see if we were still down on the ground. Buffy was knocked unconscious as the blonde girl was nearly by the last step. The front door opened as Spike strolled in with his game face on. Spike tore off of her choker as he roared at her. The blonde girl shook in fear as she cried out.

"Take them all. Save the Slayers for me!" Spike exclaimed.

I watched as vampires ran and jumped down the stairs to humans below and began feeding. I watched as Spike viciously torn into the blonde girl's neck. I got up as Buffy woken as Ford and Damien tried to hit us with a crowbar. I looked up and saw Drusilla as Buffy knocked both Ford and Damien unconscious. I nudged her as I ran and jumped to the balcony above. Buffy soon followed me as I grabbed Drusilla and held my special silver stake to her chest.

"Spike!" Buffy and I screamed.

Spike stopped feeding as he looked over at us. Buffy and I watched Drusilla stared at the stake that was in front of her.

"Everybody STOP!" Spike yelled.

All the vampires stopped feeding as Spike ordered.

"Good idea. Now let everyone out, or your girlfriend fits in an ashtray," I told him.

"Spike?" Drusilla said in fright.

"It's going to be alright, baby. Let them go!" Spike ordered.

All of the vampires and the bitten people hurried up the stairs and out of the club.

"Down the stairs," Buffy told him.

We watched as Spike slowly backed down the stairs as Buffy and I forced Drusilla ahead of us, still holding the stake at her heart. When Buffy and I reached the stairs, we stared at Spike for a moment before looking at Drusilla and shoving her down the stairs at Spike. We ran out the door and slamming the door shut before he could get to us.


Outside the Club

Aurora POV

We slowly walked out of the building to see the people helping and supporting each other. I looked around to see Angel walking towards me as well as the others far behind them.

"Are there vampires?" Willow asked.

"They're contained. They'll get out eventually, though." Buffy answered.

"We should go. We can come back when they're gone," I added.

"Come back for what?" Xander and Jeremy questioned.

"For the body," Buffy and I muttered.

"Let's go home," Kate said.

"Yeah, I could sleep some now," I replied. "This baby and I need all the rest we can get."

We walked Xander and Willow home.


When we got home, I pulled Angel into a kiss before he rubbed my stomach and kissed it.

"Sleep tight, you two," Angel whispered.

"I'll see you soon, my angel," I told Angel.

Angel pulled me into a kiss before I headed into the house and went to bed.


Back across town at the Sunset Club

Third Person

Inside the club, vampires were banging on the doors as Ford and Damien woke and got up, holding their heads. On the stairs, Spike was comforting Drusilla.

"What happened?" Ford questioned.

"We're stuck in a basement," Spike answered.

"Buffy? Aurora?" Damien questioned.

"They are not stuck in the basement," Spike responded as he came down the stairs.

"Hey, well, we delivered. We handed them to you." Ford said.

"Yes, I suppose you did," Spike replied.

"So? What about our reward?" Damien questioned.

They stared at each other for a moment before everything went back.


Time Skip

Aurora POV

It was night after the vampires attacked the club and Damien and Ford were turned into vampires. This morning, we found Ford and Damien killed. They were buried at the cemetery next to each other. Giles, Kate, Kyra, Jeremy, Jenna, Buffy and I were standing in front of the graves.

"I don't know what we're supposed to say," I told them.

"You don't need to say anything," Giles responded.

"It'd be simpler if we could just hate him. I think he wanted us to. It made it easier for them to be the villain of the piece. Really they were just scared." Buffy said.

"Yes, I believe he was," Jenna replied.

"Nothing's ever simple anymore. I'm constantly trying to work it out. Who to love or hate…" I whispered as Jeremy rubbed my back.

"Who to trust. It's just, like, the more I know, the more confused I get," Buffy added.

"I believe that's called growing up," Giles said.

"I'd like to stop then, okay?" Jeremy questioned.

"I know the feeling," Jenna responded.

"Does it ever get easy?" Kate asked as Ford and Damien came out of their graves like the vampires they wanted to be.

They ran towards us and attacked but not before Buffy and I staked them. Ford and Damien took a step back to see the stakes in their chest before bursting into ashes.

"You mean life?" Giles questioned.

"Yeah, does it get easy?" Kyra asked.

"What do you want us to say?" Jenna wondered.

"Lie to us," Buffy answered.

"Yes, it's terribly simple," Giles considered as they walked out of the cemetery.

"The good guys are always brave and true, the bad guys are easily spotted by their by their pointy horns or black hats. We always defeated them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after," Jenna told us.

"Liar," The girls and I responded.

We walk Giles to his car before heading off home for the night.
