Lonely in my Heart
Part 5
Brushing the dust free from my clothing I watch as it floats to the slightly wet grass below then turn.
My nose picks up the smell of something revolting, death; I had smelled it so many times before, hearing the sound of movement to my side I quickly dodge an axe that was meant for my head. I turn my head slightly and see the vampire as he topples to the ground.
"Weapons no one said you could use weapons"
A tingle runs along my spine as I feel 3 other's step out of the trees that lay not far away behind me.
"Yea well" he says grunting as he pulls himself up "Fred was a friend"
"Fred… oh you must have your wires crossed, he was Jimmy"
His faces scrunches up in confusion and he is not alert when I run forward and jump kicking him in the chest, he flies through the air and skids to a halt as he hits a tree.
Turning around smoothly I jab the heel of my boot into another vampire that was running my way. He raises his hand trying to cradle his throat and I see the surprised look on his face as I jump up and kick him as hard as possible making him head back the way he came only faster. A branch sticks out from a tree and I hear the usual sound of a vampire dusting as he litters the floor.
Turning quickly I dodge a hand as it aims for my face. By now Fred's friend had pulled himself up, Axe and all. My Spine tingles again and I scrunch my nose at the smell of 4 more vampires joining the fray, 6 versus 1 now.
I smile at the vampire who brandishes an axe "You know.. I fight fair"
"Yea well good for you.. That's honourable" a vampire replies from behind me then sneers.
Fred's friend nods his head and they all head towards me at top speed. A kick from a leather boot to my side makes me grunt in pain but as I ignore the pain and the need to regurgitate my food I grab the vampire's leg and pull down fast and hear it break, the vampire screams and falls to the floor in pain.
The squelch of shoes on the grass behind me makes me jump, I spin and perform a perfect kick to the face of a vampire heading straight for me his head snaps back and he falls and slides along the grass.
Sliding my hands into the sides of my belts I feel for the wooden hand carved stakes that are always there and pull them free.
The two knocked down vamps jump up and look at me menacingly, I dodge three punches aimed at my heads from all sides and sticks out my hands stakes and all as the two vampires run towards me, soon enough more dust is blowing in the wind.
"What.. No witty remarks, like you'll die, your only human.. You're just a MORTAL" Screaming the last part I smile as they suddenly look towards each other then run heading towards the trees.
Picking up the pace slightly I chase after them and let my hands out fast watching as the two stakes make there way into two of the vampires hearts. I approach the vampires dusting forms and roll on the grass pulling the stakes free as the last remnants of the vampires remain and throw them once more.
One slides into the black heart of yet another of the undead and he turns to dust, the other vampire runs in to the woods and turns preparing to gloat at the space between us. He smiles and I smile back and his face drops.
I point behind him, a small figure stands there about 5"6, she has blonde shoulder length hair and is as beautiful as the fist day that I had met her. Having recognised her scent but 4 more minutes previously has the wind had changed directions.
Turning slowly he looks at the small figure that is Buffy summers, from the look that his body language takes on he doesn't seem scared, very stupid.
"What are you going to do…. Take me shopping girly, do you know what I am"
"Girly" she replies indignantly then looks him up and down "I think the real question is.. Do YOU (she points at him with Mr pointy) know who I am"
Listening from my spot surrounded by three dust piles I smile as I listen to hear voice, having missed it for so long.
He shifts his face into that of his vampire visage and she smiles at him.
"Ever heard of the word S L A Y E R"
He has no time to react as she stabs Mr pointy through his undead heart and watches in satisfaction as he dissolves into dust before her eyes.
She slips Mr pointy into her belt and lowers her eyes to the dust then back up, as she looks my way her eyes seem to scan me.
Looking her up and down I keep the need to whistle loudly and crudely like a buffoon locked inside.
Although she is just wearing some jogging pants and a purple sweater she pulls it off like no one but Buffy can.
Staring at me she walks slowly over and from the looks she is giving me she is trying to figure out whether I am a bad guy or not.
Watching her I smile as she stops about 10 feet away.
"Well, if you were bad I'd have thought you would have attacked by now"
"Probably" I reply "Or maybe I'm just biding my time"
"Maybe" she tries to see who I am but the shadow of a nearby tree seems to cover my face "Do.. I know you because your voice sounds awfully familiar"
"I'd think yea"
I step slowly out of the shadow into the direct light coming from the moon that hangs high above; she looks at me as her mouth slightly opens in shock.
"Xan….."
Smiling awkwardly I just nod my head.
Managing to collect her thoughts she walks slowly towards me and slowly places her hand on my cheek as she reaches up, she pulls it back quickly as It makes contact and I see the smile on her face and the unshed tears that will soon follow.
Reaching out once more she runs her hand along my jaw and I see the shock still evident on her face that I can be stood here.
Reaching slowly up I encircle her wrist with my fingers and slowly pull her hand down, suddenly I feel the full weight of her body hit mine as she encircles me in a hug.
The tears now flow and I feel them seep through my T-shirt and onto my chest. I place a hand gently on her hair as she mumbles incoherent words from the tight hug to my chest.
Soothing her I slide my hand down her hair and comfort her saying things like "I'm back.." as her opinions seems to think that this is some dream and soon she will wake up with no one.
A twang of guilt runs through my entire body, as I feel sorry for the girl.. Woman that I loved and from the looks of it still love to this day.
Bringing my eyes down to her form I see her try to grab me harder which is pretty much impossible and she is crying buckets of tears onto my T-shirt.
"I promise" I say breaking the one thing I said I wouldn't before I set off on my travels "I promise, I'll never leave you again"
