Rated PG

Spoilers: Chosen.

Summary: a demons point of view of the events of Chosen. Through the eyes of an LA vampire.

Authors Note: I used a couple of lines from Bring on the Night to show the demons POV. They aren't mine and I don't claim them.

Just heard on the radio that Sunnydale is a sinkhole. Lucky I got out when I did. A couple of demons stayed behind, hoping to pick off any people that stayed behind or maybe to loot. I'm guessin they're gone now. The way the announcer described it the town went pretty fast and with no warning but a quake.

When that came on, the whole demon bar I was in started cheerin. The Slayer and her groupies live there and since the radio said there was no survivors, we were bettin that the world was Slayer free now. I knew the First was trying to kill them all, we hoped he succeeded. Until a Gak Demon named Earl stumbled in.

He said he escaped from Sunnydale, so we all perked up our ears and antlers and antennas and listened. The slayer was not dead. Some witch activated every slayer there ever will be. The demon bar went silent with fear. Hundreds of slayers? 1 was enough to kill a good amount of demons. Some demons left right away, packing to head out of LA. Shocked, I ordered another drink and struck up a conversation with another stunned vamp.

"Tons of slayers? What we gonna do?" I wondered aloud.

"Can't do anything. They're everywhere. I killed one this morning" He muttered, downing a tequila and blood shot.

"You killed one. Wow. That's-"

"Nothing" He snarled and vamped out, grabbing me by the collar. "It was nothing. She didn't even know she was a slayer. I didn't even know, til I bit her. Theres nothing special in it anymore. Killing a slayer used to be a huge thing. Now its like squashing an ant. Kill one and 3 more appear."

"They swarm you." I nodded. I glanced out at the setting sun. "I'm goin. Getting outta here. Got an extra seat in the car if ya wanna join me"

"Can't hide. Can't fight. Can't pretend its not the end, cause it is. The forces are totally unbalanced now. Their army will over run this planet. And wipe us out."

I didn't care. I ran. I was leaving the town. The country if I had to. As I rounded a corner where Caritas used to be, I saw what that vamp meant. 3 girls leaped off a Sunnydale High School Bus and staked me before I got a chance to throw a punch.
