When darkness be closin in
I'm motivated, with the howlin wind
with a list of chosen men, frozen in sin
Knowin that your end is beginnin
Swift silent and deadly
There's no defendin my plots, I know your every movement
For six months I watch, coulda gotchu at your baby's mother's house
Even at your down-low weed spot
But the backdrop, wasn't flattering enough
I didn't want people gathering and stuff {*cameras click*}
Snapshots of blood splattering from the snuff
Here - puff this here, while I figure which way, to split yo' wig
Right now you as nervous, as a Farmer John pig
As I dig into my tragic bag, take out the HK
Twist on the silencer, insert the thirty-shot mag {*WHOOSH*}
Bullet stuck to his brain like a mack
Skull in fragments, I leave the cleanup to Dragnet

Giles sighed, and slammed the dusty book down in frustration, causing Willow to jump slightly, and shriek, which in turn startled Anya, who dropped a large, heavy volume 'The works of Mastepheos; Artistic Revenges of the 4th Century' on Xanders foot, which in turn caused him to curse. Giles looked up to see three glares from the others. "What?" He asked in confusment.
Xander sighed "Anything on our friendly wolf?" He asked Giles. Giles shrug his shoulders "It depends," He started, pinching the bridge of his nose, gathering his thoughts. Willow gestured for him to continue "There are not many creatures that would scare a vampire, let alone ten of them"
"Vampires don't seem to be the the brightest creatures of the night" Xander quiped, with a grin. Giles let out a long suffering sigh, loud enough to be heard over Willows sniggers. "Quite" He stated "Vampires are famed for their fearlessness, their ferosity, refusal to back down" He rambled. "The fact that they will recklessly attack Buffy, the Slayer, without a thought to their own personal safety is proof of that fact"
"So, what is Buffy's new friend?" Xander asked, concerned. Giles sighed, again "There are few demons that could scare vampires so deeply, but none that could take human form without strong magic" Willow looked up "Hey, thats where I come in!" she stated, cheerful she could be of some use. Giles cut her off with a wave of his hand "The power it would take to disquise the demons would be strong enough to kill all but the strongest witch's." He admitted.
"Oh"
Giles looked down at the book for a second "I've narrowed it down to one type of demon, that is strong enough to frighten vampires out of their wits, and powerful enough to appear human" The others brightened up considerably at this news. "But" Giles continued, "Thats a Morpheus Demon" The others (apart from Anya, who had sat down rather suddenly, in shock) looked at each other in confusion. "And thats... bad?" Xander guessed, Giles nodded "The last Morpheus demon was seen in the city off... Antlantis" Xander looked confused as realisation slowly dawned in Willow and Tara "Your point being?" Xander asked. Anya turned to him "That demon, I think his name was Tjardi, knew he was the last of his kind. He decided to take the greatest human achievment with him." She whispered.
"Tjardi demons were reputed to be totally evil. Unlike other demons ,they didn't strive for world domination or destruction, they merely want to hurt and kill as many people as they could in their lifespan." All five looked shaken at the news.
"G, Giles?" Tara asked in a timid voice, Giles looked at her tiredly "Yes, Tara?"
"Wh, when is Buffy meeting with this guy?" Giles looked down at his pristine watch, his eyes opening with alarm as he noted the face. He looked up in shock. "Now"

Buffy sighed, and looked a her watch. 'I'm being stood up by some demon' she thought to herself wryly 'I really need a life'
"Hey"
Buffy spun around, to see the mystereous Wolf standing a few feet away. Buffy forced herself to breath slowly, calming her heart rate "sneaking up on slayers is a bad habit. You know, like smoking?" Wolf laughed "I can see the add 'Sneaking kills!" Buffy grinned in amusment before remembering where she was, and that she was supposed to be mad at him. She scowled "Okay, Mr Mystery, its time for your introduction" He smiled, a bit evily, she noticed.
"You are Buffy. Your watcher in Ripper Giles. Your best friends are Willow Rosemberg and Xander Harris. I don't need you to introduce them to me." he leaned closer "I know them already" She looked at him sparks of worry beginning, wishing they were somewhere less crowded, so she could throw him through a few walls to find out what exactly he knew. He grinned and stepped closer. "You want to hurt me, don't you" He whispered in her ear. She gritted her teeth, refusing to be drawn in to his game. He pulled his head back until they were face to face. "Do it" He whispered. She looked away trying to supress her rising rage, and mounting confusion. He put his face back near her ear "I can be at your house in three minutes. Dawn will be dead in four" She reared back as if slapped. He grinned, coldly this time. "She, and the others, Willow, Anya, Tara, Xander, Giles, and Joyce, will not see tomorrow morning, unless you stop me." Heart hammering in fear, she knew that he was very serious. "If you ge near her..." Buffy started, before being cut off "They will die unless you stop me." He looked at his watch, as Buffy stepped closer to him, about to put a stake through him, crowded club or no crowded club. "Oh, I'm sory, I've got an appointment in three minutes." He grinned as Buffy's fear level raised through the stratosphere "Bye" He turned and ran. Buffy was motionless for a second, before running after him in desperation. She was gaining on him when a hand reached out and caught her. "Well, looky what we've found!" The vampire didn't get a chance to say any more as Buffy, fueled with fear for sister simply ripped his head from his shoulders, which rapidly turned to dust. A second one punched her to the back of her head, causing her to stumble slightly. She whirled, putting a stake through its heart, then, pulling out second stake, she spun, not stopping until the other four vampires were dusted. Buffy looked down the street, but Wolf was out of sight. With a cry of dispair, she ran as fast as she could towards her house.

The doorbell rang. Joyce Summers stood up and opened the door, to see a handsom young man, who vaguely reminded her of someone she couldn't remember. Her suspicions arroused, she made sure to stay inside the threshhold. "Can I help you?" She asked. The young man grinned sheepishly in reply "Ah, Mrs Summers?" Joyce nodded "Hi, my name is Jason. Um, your daughter, Buffy asked me to meet her here" Joyce's original suspicions quelled slightly at the Jason's nervousness, but she quickly reminded herself of Darla. "She's not here right now, do you mind waiting?" She asked, stepping out of the doorway. It was an invitation without being an invitation. Joyce gave a silent sigh of relief as Jason stepped through the doorway. She closed the door, and turned to him with a smile. 'The living rooms through there. I'm sorry I can't keep you company, but I have to finish this artifact count." Jason nodded, and sat down on the couch, trying to look interested at the infomercials on TV. She didn't want to leave a stranger in her living room, but she had to finish this... Coming to a quick decision, she called out, "Dawn! Could you come here please?" A rapid patter of footsteps preceeded Dawn, and she landed with a thump at Joyce's feet. Dawn looked inquisitively at her "Could you keep this young man company, please?" Until your sister comes home?" Dawn grumbled, about to refuse when she caught sight of the man in question. Her eyes widened, and she nodded rapidly. "Good" Joyce smiled, and made the prelimery introductions, before returning to the kitchen. Dawn looked the stranger over in awe 'Damn' she thought 'I don't know where Buffy found this one, he is certainly an upgrade from Riley!' "Hi" She said brightly "I'm Dawn" She held her hand out. Jason smiled, and shook her hand "Jason. Although my friends call me Wolf"
