Rage
A "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" story
By Kristin
A prequel to "Until Sunrise", this takes place right after "Graduation: Part 2". Angel and Wesley are long gone, Anya is still hiding away, and Cordelia has just left Sunnydale as well.

All new characters and settings have been born from my imagination.
Despite recent events, the Bronze was packed and people were having fun. The Dingoes on stage, the remaining members of the Scooby Gang were present and cheery.
And two other notables were as well.
"So the Mayor turned himself into a giant, but killable demon snake, when he could have stayed an invincible, inconspicuous person?" Kristin Travis asked of her friend.
"Yup." Bridgette replied.
"I don't know about you, but I find that moronic."
"I'd definitely have to agree with you there. So when do you leave for New York?"
"Thursday." Kristin had an academic scholarship for their state university and was looking forward to getting away from the Hellmouth she grew up around. If Bridgette had not told her about it, Kristin believed she'd have died at graduation.
"So there's no sign of your brother?" Kristin asked.
"Nothing." Bridgette said sadly, "But Buffy and her friends might know. I just have to figure out how to ask them without raising any flags."
"You don't think they'd handle knowing you're a magical hybrid of a vampire and a human that spies on them, who also happens to be related to---what was he called? Oh yeah---The Scourge of Europe?!!"
Bridgette just stared at her friend.
"Okay let's go talk to them." Kristin insisted.
They walked up to the Scooby Gang's table where they only found Buffy, Xander, and Willow. Oz was, of course, on stage.
"Excuse me, Buffy?" Kristin spoke up.
Buffy and the others turned to them.
"Hi, my name is Kristin Travis. I was in your----"
"English class!" Buffy finished for her cheerily, "Yeah I remember. I believe Ms. Miller called your last paper 'A grotesque piece of garbage that was only meant for one place: the fireplace'. And by the look of disgust on her face, I'm guessing that's just her being nice."
"Yeah well, consumed in flame is exactly where a lot of the inhabitants of this town belong."
"I was impressed that someone other then me had the guts to attempt making everyone face it." Buffy insisted, "Although I am curious as to why anyone would snap out of the common denial this town has."
"I had some help." Kristin dragged Bridgette up beside her.
"Uh…hi." Bridgette said sheepishly.
"I'm sorry…should I know you from school?" Buffy asked.
"Nope, just a friend of Kristin's who's seen a few…odd things in her travels."
"You travel?" Xander spoke up.
"Yes…"
"Great! You know I'm planning a little trip myself. Gonna see the country and all that. Maybe we could share the trip?!!"
Bridgette laughed. She couldn't believe Xander Harris having a daredevil moment! And she was going to jump on the chance too, but she remembered she would be gone as soon as she found Angel. So it wouldn't be fair to Xander…or herself for that matter.
"You know, I'd have to think about that."
"Xander!" Willow hissed, "She doesn't know you or any of us for that matter. The least you could do is introduce yourself before you ask her out!"
"Well yeah! I was getting to that Will! Hi, I'm----"
"Xander Harris." Bridgette jumped in stupidly, "And Willow Rosenburg and Buffy Summers." She had to come up with an excuse for her knowledge, fast! "Kristin…uh…has actually mentioned you once or twice."
Kristin smiled sheepishly with an elbow from Bridgette.
"Oh. Well." Willow was stunned. "Uh…so where are you from…?"
"The name's Bridgette. And I'm from…uh well…everywhere I guess!"
"Bridgette what?" Buffy asked, her eyes narrowing.
"Uh…it's just Bridgette actually. I gave up my last name. But I've done well enough without it."
"Well that's great!" Xander insisted, "Right?"
"Yeah!" Willow agreed, "It's…uh…mysterious and uh…trendy! And…"
"Questionable." Buffy countered.
"I would go with cool." Xander snapped back.
"Oh, well, no!" Bridgette tried to continue, "What's cool is Buffy's title. Buffy Summers: Va----uh, Class Protector! Very good for a resume, huh?"
Buffy was on full alert now. So was Willow. Xander…was lost in Bridgette's green eyes.
"Where did you say you were from?" Buffy prodded.
But before she could grill Bridgette, a pack of vampires charged into the Bronze. They started to pick fights and they weren't holding anything back…
