Angel the Slayer Vampire

**********************

Chapter 2:

" Hey, aren't you the girl at the Bronze?" exclaimed Xander.

" Who are you?" Buffy said, looking curious at the newcomer.

" Me? I'm Angel. Angel Jackerian," says Angel, " I'm looking for a Buffy Summers. Do any of you happen to know her? It's a small town after all."

" I'm Buffy. Who are you?"

" Wow, this is one very small town," Angel said as she whistled lowly. " I'm a Slayer too. If that's what you meant."

Everyone was walking towards Giles's house in grim silence. Unable to bear the silence, Xander asked Angel, " So what are you doing here anyway? Buffy isn't dead, is she?"

" Don't worry. She isn't dead," came the curt reply.

Giles's house was coming into sight. Buffy quicken her pace, as she reached the door, she knock loudly on the door. She too was wondering at the appearance of the new Slayer. And she needed answers now.

Inside the house, Giles walk groggily towards the door, groaning out loud at whom could be bothering him in the middle of the night. He knew that Buffy had gone to the Bronze with the others therefore it would be impossible for her to look for him unless it was an emergency. With that thought, he hurried towards the door, upon opening it, he found himself face to face at a quizzical Buffy.

As she explained about what happen, Giles look curiously at the new Slayer. She seems to be deep in her own thoughts instead of listening to Buffy. But what would a new Slayer be doing here? Although Sunnydale was no peace heaven but things seems to have calm down lately. There weren't as many disappearances as before. There was no sign of any big trouble brewing unless he had been careless.

" Giles, Giles, earth to," said Buffy, waving her hand in front of Giles's face.

" That's enough waving, Buffy. So you're Angel Jackerian?" Giles said, looking strangely at Angel.

" Yeah," came the short reply.

" What are you doing in Sunnydale? Who's your Watcher? Why did he sent you here?"

" Whoa, slow down. I can't answer all your questions at once, can't I? First the answer to your first question. I'm here to look for Buffy. I kind of want to study her.

" What? Study me?" exclaimed Buffy looking very shocked.

" The second question, my Watcher is kind of underground," say Angel, looking miserably, " she was killed by one of the baddies I was battling."

" I'm sorry," Giles said, " But why do you want to study Buffy?"

" Oh, 'cos she different from the rest and she's kind of special."

" Now you sound like a dish. Special of the day," whispered Xander into Buffy's ears.

Buffy elbowed Xander in the ribs and glared at him daring him to make another shrew comment. She felt sorry that Angel had lost her Watcher. Faith had lost her Watcher too before she came to Sunnydale. Now everyone was staring at Angel as though she had lost her mind.

Breaking the silence, Buffy exclaimed, " It's very late already. Why don't we continue this discussion tomorrow? Hey, do you have anywhere to stay?"

" Me? Why no. I'm kind of broke."

Buffy stared at Angel, " You gonna be kidding."

Giving a shrug, " Sorry to disappoint you, but heck, no. Well, my plan was that if I can't find you, I would sleep at the scrap yard."

" She's a crack case," whispered Xander to Willow, " Beautiful but crack up."

" No way, you're not sleeping at the scrap yard. You're sleeping at my house, can she, Giles?" asked Buffy.

" I beg your pardon? Oh, right, Angel. Sure, she'll stay at your house for the present."

They left Giles's house together. As Buffy waved a goodbye to her friends, she walks towards her house with Angel at her side. Buffy invited Angel into her house and beckoned her up the stairs and show her into the bedroom. They sit in silence for a moment then Angel spoke, " Where's the bathroom?"

" The bathroom? Oh, down the hall. We need to talk."

" Thought you never ask? So what do you want to talk 'bout?" Angel asks her.

Buffy looked at her, " Why are you here?" Buffy was confused at the appearance of the new Slayer.
