Apocalyptic End

Chapter 1

Buffy walked down the empty street. It was 10 o'clock at night, most people in Sunnydale were inside. Not here. But why would she be? She was, after all, the Slayer. She remembered back to the bright, sunny day when she was chosen. She was outside of her school, sitting on the steps when a slightly overweight man came up to her and told her that she was the 'Chosen One'. It was Merrick, her first watcher. When she had moved to Sunnydale, Rupert Giles had become her Watcher and together, along with Alexander (Xander) Harris and Willow Rosenberg, had formed the first Scooby Gang. Along the way, the group had gotten slightly larger and smaller, but they were the four core members. Buffy remembered back to last year, when things had gotten incredibly crazy with Tara (Willow's girlfriend) being shot by Warren, a pathetic loser who tried to be a villain, and Willow going dark magic and attacking the Scoobies. Xander had stopped her from literally ending the world, but afterwards, everyone was drained.

Spike had come back, nearly three months later, de-chipped. She had hoped that he would remain a help to the Scoobies, but he wasn't. Spike had gone on a killing spree. She had tried to stop him, but instead found herself unable to do it. Spike had left for a while, apparently roaming Western Canada, but they hadn't heard from him in almost five months. She thought he was gone from her life. Gone like Anya. Anya was an ex-demon who had come to Sunnydale to grant Cordelia (super-popular girl at Sunnydale High who was a reluctant Scooby) a wish, but she ended up staying when her powers where destroyed. Anya fell in love with Xander, but on their wedding day, Xander backed out, not wanting to hurt her. She had returned to being a vengeance demon, and after helping defeat Willow, left for good.

So many people had come and gone, but she was glad she still had friends like Xander and Willow. Giles wasn't around anymore, he was working for the Watcher's council in England. Apparently, he was now the second-in-command. Buffy couldn't remember stuff about that. Giles was her father figure, and she loved him, but things like his jobs full name weren't very important to her. Buffy sighed and looked around. There appeared to be no vampires around tonight.

"Maybe I should just pack it in..." she said to herself. Just then, a vampire jumped out of a nearby alley and almost caught her by surprise. Buffy ducked and sent the vampire flying over her. The vampire landed on his feet and kicked Buffy in the back. Buffy fell to the ground, hitting her elbow. When she got up, she heard a horn honk and jumped out of the way, barely missing an incoming car. The vampire picked her up and threw her into the alley.

"Slayers not so strong, is she?" The vampire mocked. Buffy kicked him in the stomach and sent him flying into a dumpster. She punched him in the face, but he grabbed her by the neck and picked her up. The vampire dropped her onto the ground and bent down to bite her. She kicked him in the face and got to her feet. Buffy went for a punch but the vampire ducked and tripped her. She flipped backwards and pushed off the wall, pushing the vampire down. She pulled a stake out of her pocket and went to stake him, but he grabbed her wrist and snapped it.

"Ahhh!" Buffy screamed in pain. She dropped the stake. The vampire punched her twice and she stumbled backwards. Buffy punched him with her other hand and retrieved the stake. She threw it at him but he ducked down. The vampire charged at Buffy but she grabbed him by the neck and threw him head first into a door. The door crashed inwards. Buffy picked up the stake and followed him in. It was dark inside, but she could tell they were in an abandoned warehouse. Odds are she had been there before. But she couldn't see him. She strained her eyes, but she couldn't see him.

Buffy looked around, staring at all the boxes and ladders. She turned around right as the vampire threw a crate at her face. The crate shattered and she fell to her knees. The vampire went for a punch but she blocked it. Buffy tripped him and he landed on a piece of wood that had shattered from the crate. He had the beginnings of a saying, but then he turned to dust.

Buffy smiled, then grimaced. She was bleeding heavily from where the wood had cut her, and she had a broken wrist. She walked out the door and was heading straight home when she spotted a tall, black vampire feeding on a teenage girl.

Buffy kicked the vampire in the back, but the girl was dead. The vampire smiled and picked up a baseball bat he had probably used to knock out the girl. The vampire swung it at Buffy, but she blocked it.

With her broken wrist.

"Ow!" Buffy screamed. She tried to kick the vampire but he was behind her. He laughed and snapped her neck. "Dawn..." Buffy was able to get out before the vampire dug his fangs into her neck and fed, then dropped her to the ground beside the other dead girl. The vampire disappeared into the alley as cop sirens could be heard approaching.

Buffy Summers, the Vampire Slayer, was dead.
