Title: To Every Generation..
Chapter 3
As Xander approached the magic shop he found himself stumbling and almost dropped the doughnuts he was carrying. The Scooby Gang had been researching the new vampire Malo, for hours last night. Then they had started again the next morning, with the exception of Spike who had gone to his crypt. So Xander had eventually gone to get some doughnuts to keep everyone from starving.
He walked into the magic shop, and the rest of the gang were sat around the table still busily reading away.
Only Anya looked up. "Hey Xander."
"Hey Anya, hey guys. Look, I brought goodies." He placed the box of doughnuts on the counter and opened it. Biting a sprinkled one he asked. "So, we learned anything new?"
"No, I'm afraid not. It seems we have come to a bit of a dead end," replied Giles.
"So basically your telling me that in all the hours we have spent researching the only things we have learned are this chick is really old, and I mean were talking old. She's caused a lot of damage in her time and her name, Malo, is actually Spanish for evil." Said Xander.
"Well… yes," said Giles. I little frustrated with himself. Xander was right, they had nothing.
"Well that's reassuring," replied Xander sarcastically as he finished of the doughnut.
"Well I've just found out that her name was given to her by her sire, but we don't know who that is," added Willow, finally looking up from her book
"Well I vote that we stop researching, and we find this Malo, while it's still daylight. It'll be a lot easier then going when it's night." Said Xander.
Anya, Tara and Willow all agreed. Giles wasn't happy with the idea. "Spike said she had some sort of Telekinesis power. Who knows what else she can do."
"4 against 1. Sorry Giles, you lose." Said Xander.
"It's day time so she'll probably be sleeping somewhere. She shouldn't be too hard to find." Said Tara.
"Tara's right, we just need to check out the usual places," added Willow.
As Xander passed the doughnuts around everyone picked up some weapons. Stakes, holy water, crosses and anything else they could carry.
They had been right. The Scooby Gang had found the hide out within the hour. It was a derelict building, and Malo wasn't alone. Two vamps had been guarding the entrance to one of the rooms, but the gang working together had quickly dusted them. They had tried to keep the noise to a minimum, hoping not to attract any more vampires.
Now they were in the room. Malo slept on a small bed in the room. The Scooby Gang were all surprised that she hadn't been woken by the noise.
"Now what?" mouthed Xander. Anya made a staking motion.
Seems like the sensible thing to do he thought to himself.
Xander produced a stake and made his way over to the bed. Malo looked so innocent and peaceful asleep. Her curly blonde hair was spread across the pillow. He reminded himself that this girl was a vampire and lifted the stake up and above her heart…
Malo's eyes opened and before Xander could even react she had knocked the stake out of his hand. Giles, Willow, Tara and Anya all rushed forward.
Xander suddenly felt himself being pushed back. He fell into Tara and they both fell onto the floor on top of each other. Anya looked over and wasn't impressed
The door opened and 5 more vampires entered the room. The Scooby Gang each took on one of the new vampires. Willow staked hers with surprising ease. She looked around and realised not only had Malo gone but also Xander was in trouble. He was about to get staked with his own stake.
"XANDER!" She screamed.
Willow ran over to him and grabbed the vampire who was on top of Xander by the arm. She pulled it back and to her surprise she heard it snap. The vampire screamed and let go of the stake as he rolled off Xander. Willow picked up the stake and rammed it into the vampire's non-beating heart. As he turned to dust she moved onto the nearest vampire, which was the one Anya was fighting. Willow pulled him off Anya and shoved him against the wall, and in one swift movement took out a stake and staked the vampire.
Tara's vampire who had seen what had happened shouted, "She's the Slayer!" as he ran off. The other vampire's quickly followed.
The Scooby Gang stood in silence. Finally Xander spoke.
"SLAYER?!"
