~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes! Chapter 5! For the occasion, I even thought of a name for 'the new guy'. OK, I actually needed a name, and I didn't
think of it because of the 5th chapter, but still. I found I had 14 characters, so in this chapter and the next I'll get
them down to 10, or maybe even 7 or 8.
What I did do (for fun) is draw a pic of the new guy, in black&white, and I think it worked out pretty good.
I'll put it up on my site, and post a link as soon as the site is up :S
New rule/thingy/whatever, a tab in the line (like this one) indicates thought.
There's finally something vaguely resembling a plotline, so it probably was about time I came up with the new guy.
Anyway, back to the story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As he walked around the corner, and faded to his appartment, he overthought what had happened tonight.
According to my... sources, that had probably been Xander Harris, the evil-magnet. Of course it wasn't Buffy Summers,
duh. Buffy Summers wasn't a guy. I'm gonna have to find her soon, or I'll get behind on schedule, and that won't be good for
my health...
He looked out the window to the street. There was no one there, and because his window also looked out over the graveyard, he saw
that that was empty as well. Sunnydale was supposed to be way more active at night. The graveyard should be crawling with
vampires and more of those weaklings. And it had been, until tonight. Maybe the vampires sensed something, one way or the
other, and decided to starve for a night instead of going out.
Idiots. I'm not in this stupid town for them. What kind of crappy town is this anyway? I've seen better ones in hell,
and that's not a good thing. Why did I sign up for this?
He shook his head in fustration, and opened the window for some fresh air.
It's a good night out there, and I should be watching. So that's what I'm going to do.
He sighed. For the so-manieth time this night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'It's, eh... pretty damn quiet tonight, ain't it?' There was absolutely no one on the streets tonight, no people, no vampires,
nothing. Tesh knodded. 'Yeah... Something's up alright, I can feel it.' 'Maybe we shou- Nah, forget it....' 'What?' 'Nothin', who
cares that there's no one here, let's keep patrolling.'
But who cares that both her and Spike wanted to go inside and stay there, but just didn't do it because it would look stupid.
After the third lap around the graveyard they got bored, went to the Bronze, found Xander out on the sidewalk and dragged him
home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is with those two? They've come by here four times already, what are they doing? Maybe I should go talk to them
or something, I'll do that as soon as they show up again. I'm gonna go outside and wait.
So he closed the window and went outside, leant against the cemitery wall and waited, but the two people he saw earlier, the
guy and the girl, didn't come back.
Why does stuff always happen whem I'm not around, it's just not fair. ... Stop being pathetic, like you didn't know
that's what you on the wrong side. It's like a natural law; good stuff happens to the good guys, bad stuff happens to the
bad guys. Better just learn to live with it. Why did I do this again? I can't even remember being mortal, but I KNOW I was.
Why can't I remember, where did I live, who were my parents, my friends, what year was it, and what the hell was the reason
I was so stupid and got myself into this. It's probably a pretty good one, it has to be. But why can't I remember? W-
Two people walked around the corner, the same two that came past here before. The girl didn't seem to happy with something.
Finally, they got into hearing range. 'I can't believe they sent us back on patrol. Nice way to say thanks. They aren't doing
anything themselves, they just let us do the dirty work, and when the main bad guy shows up they'll kick his ass and they'll
get all the credit for it!' 'I know, you said that a thousan' times already. Just shut up, I wanna listen. There's something up
tonight, and we're never gonna find out what it is if you don't stop your talking!' The girl shut up. When they got close
enough to touch him, they suddenly stopped, and looked straight at him. 'Where did you come from?' 'Didn't you see me? I was
here all the time.' Okay, so it was a lame excuse, and not that good, but the mere fact that he didn't attack them even
seemed to calm them.
Great, why did they see me? They can't be human... So that guy must be... William, no, Spike. A vampire. He'll start
asking questions if I call him William. And the girl is... Tesh, his twin sister, also a vampire.
'Oi! I asked you a question!' Spike's voice snapped him out of the trance-like state he'd got in to know their names. 'Huh?
What?' 'I said, who are you?'
Should I tell them? Nah, I'm gonna make up a name, or- I'll think I'll give them my real name. It'll make things more
interesting.
He put up a friendly smile, and looked at them both. 'My name's Gabriel, I'm in town to visit a friend of mine.' Spike didn't
seem to believe him. 'What friend would that be, exactly?'
O shit. I don't have any friends here. Maybe I could get someone who left a while ago... Got it!
'His name is Riley Finn, but I just heard he left not too long ago. So I'm basically here for nothing.' 'When're you
leaving?' 'Probably later this week, maybe next week. Depends on how quick my business here is finished.'
And if you just take me to Buffy, my business here will be finished pretty damn quick, and I'll be out of here in no
time at all. Literally.
'What do you think? Should we let him live?' Spike didn't seem to want that, but he still asked. 'Nah, don't think so.
There's no-one out here tonight, so we're gonna have to-' 'Who's that?' Someone had just snook up on them, and Gabriel didn't
even notice it. He turned around, and saw two people, two guys and a girl, both armed with stakes.
Who the hell are they... That guy on the left is Xander, the other guy is Trunks... From the future? And that girl
is... Hey! It's Buffy. Well, isn't this convenient. But I've gotta keep calm. Can't kill her now, I'll have to find her alone, without so many of her friends.
They can't know what I am. But, why don't I know what I WAS? Shut up, or they'll ask questions.
'I'm Gabriel, and you are...' Being a DarkKnight wasn't easy for Gabriel.
