When she arrived at the house in which he had his business her heart pounded so hard she thought everybody who went by could hear it. She imagined thousand different ways the meeting could process.
"Ok, keep cool. I'll manage." she told herself. She went to the entrance door of the building and pulled. When the door didn't budge she pushed. But the door still didn't open.
"Shit, no ones there!"
It was after sunset so he could be everywhere. So she decided to patrol. Perhaps she would encounter some vamps that needed some dusting. After that she would stop by again to see if Angel had come back by then.
She turned around and thought about where to go. Because she didn't know this part of L.A. she decided to just follow the street. After a short while she already saw the first vampire who held a young woman. She struggled desperately but couldn't escape the strong arms of the vampire. The vampire bent in for the bite – he hadn't noticed her yet. But Buffy didn't let him continue. She pulled her emergency stake out of her pocket and approached the vampire. She said dryly: "This is mightily naughty, you know? You shouldn't do that. You'll get a nice punishment for that!"
The vampire was surprised and turned around. He hadn't heard her coming. But when he saw who stood in front of him he was relieved. This slender woman wouldn't ruin his meal, she would be the refill.
The slender woman had a stake in her hand. He saw it and thought: 'Everybody seems to believe he can just kill a vampire. But this one'll be surprised!' Then he said: "Oh, yeah? And what would that be? Punishing words?"
She looked at him like a teacher looks at an especially dumb child. Then she said: "No, silly. A stake through the heart of course!"
With that said she made a quick step forward and kicked him in the side and send him stumbling. That had him by surprise and that made him angry. Growling he attacked her. But she side stepped him and used his momentum to throw him to the opposite wall.
He pulled himself together and approached her again. While they circled each other he asked: "Who are you?" That took her by surprise. She was used to lines like: "I'll kill you, Slayer!" or: "This will be the last fight you have!" or something like that. Normally vamps recognized her. She answered snappishly: "I'm from Sunnydale, went to school there. I work part-time as a waitress but my main job is killing vampires. But I think that's normal for a Slayer, don't cha think?"
The vampire was a little swamped with that answer and blinked at her. They had stopped to circle each other so she just made one step and staked him. The vampire had just realised that she was the Slayer as he disintegrated.
Buffy turned around to look for the young woman but she had already disappeared. The Slayer continued to walk down the street, hoping to meet another vampire that she could dust. She passed a warehouse in which she could sense some vamps. She went around the warehouse to find an entrance and found a door that was left ajar and went inside.
