Thoughts
Author's Note: I recently got an e-mail that brought up some good points. The writer asked if Spike was human(and I've decided 2 bring that in later in the story)because he could "go out in broad daylight." When Spike and Dawn leave the house to go shopping, the sun has just set. The stores don't close at dusk you know! I just thought I should clear that up. This is gonna be in Buffy's POV. Quotation marks=Buffy's thoughts
"Stupid computer. Why did you have to freeze up now? I just finished my report! Couldn't you wait until I was done printing it out?! Buffy, you are talking to computers...get a grip. Ok. It's ok. You already saved half of the report, all you have to do is re-type the other half. Which is gonna take forever!"
Buffy hit the restart button on the front of the machine and patiently waited for the screen to come up.
"Hello? Is anybody in there?" The Slayer flicked the screen with her fingers. Nothing happened.
"Oh great. Just great. What's wrong now? Did I press the key the wrong way? Where's Spike when you need him?! I can't believe a one hundred and twenty-seven year old vampire knows more about technology than I do. That's pretty pathetic. Oh well. I suppose I can afford one failing grade. Or, maybe the professor will understand that my computer froze up! Yeah, right. Keep dreaming, Buffy. This isn't high school anymore, they don't take those kind of excuses. Might as well say that my invisible dog ate it. 'Yes, Professor Smith, I'm sorry I can't turn in my paper because my invisible dog ate it. I need to get out." Buffy scratched a note out and taped it to the door. The Slayer grabbed her coat and stakes and was out the door for a lovely evening of vampire hunting and staking.
"Yoo hoo! Vampires. I'm right here. Do you guys all take a vacation at once? Hmm. If vampires go on vacation, where do they go? I mean, since they can't go out anywhere during the day, why not just stay here? Why am I complaining about this? It only means that I get a break. No, it usually means that there is a new evil in town. Oh goody. Way to look on the positive side, Buff. I don't even know why I'm thinking about this. Ok. New topic, let see...I wonder what Dawn and Spike are doing. They get along so well together. It kind of makes me wonder what it would have been like if I didn't make it through the battle with Glory. Would he have taken care of her like he does now? Would he have split? Left town? No, he would have stayed. Even if I was gone...ok. Enough with the morbid."
As Buffy went on with her thoughts, she didn't notice the group of demons sneaking up behind her. All at once, they sprung, leaving Buffy little time to re-act. They were on her at once, slashing, punching, grabbing at her. The Slayer tried to break free, but it was no use. The odds sucked, six demons to one Slayer. But still, Buffy was a fighter. She tried her hardest to throw at least one of the slime balls off. They were heavy too. Along their heads and necks was a set of spikes, which continued all the way down their back and onto the short tail. They were maybe about five feet tall, and a hundred pounds each. There was a funny discoloration to their skin right next to their eyes. Though the rest of their bodies were a brownish green, this spot was pure blue.
Buffy could feel the pain sweeping over her as they continued to pull at her. "This is it. This is how I'm going to die. Oh god. Dawn, what is she going to do without me?! No, I have to live. I have to live for her." The demons continued to slash at her clothes as she began to struggle again. But it was too much. Each one of them had one of her limbs pinned down. The other two were chanting some ancient language that couldn't be understood. Buffy yelled just about every profanity in the book. And when she was done, she screamed the only other thing she could think of,
"SPIKE!!!!!!"
