Lexie arrived at Angel's crypt just after sundown.  She knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"  Angel's voice called from inside.

"It's Lexie; I have to talk to you."

"Alright, come in."

Lexie opened the door, and saw a shirtless Angel standing before her.  She stared at his lean, muscular body for a second, and then remembered why she had come.  "You'll never guess who's in town."

"Let me guess… Buffy?"

"How did you know?"

"I saw her… but she doesn't know I saw her… you didn't tell her I was here did you?"

"No."

"Good, so where is she now?"

"She's with Spike, in the graveyard."

"Are you going to go meet them?"

"No, I'm taking the alleys tonight… Angel, there is something else I need to talk to you about."  She said, looking slightly frightened.

"What? What is it?"  He said in a concerned voice.

"There is a reason that Buffy came here.  She came to warn me about…"

Angel interrupted her, "Kyros?  Did she tell you about Kyros?"

"You knew, why didn't you tell me?"  She said, almost angrily.

"I was going to, I swear…"

"Is it true? I am going to die when I face him?"

"It is the prophecy, but there is no way to know for sure."

She started to stare off into space, finally she said, "I've gotta go… I have to patrol."

Angel nodded, "Be careful."

Lexie walked the alleys.  She was on the verge of tears.  If she did face Kyros, would she really die?  She tried to thing of any possible way to escape the prophecy.  The only way she could think of was to not face him at all, but, that would release him into the world, and create even more problems… not only for her, but for the entire human race.

She heard something around the corner.  It wasn't the sound of a vampire preying on a victim, but more like the sound of her fighting against a vampire.  As she neared, she walked more slowly.  She peered around the corner to see what was happening.  She saw a vampire thrown against a dumpster, and a girl with jet black hair standing before him.  The vampire slowly got to its feet, and lunged toward the girl.  The girl didn't move, but only lifted her arm and waved her hand towards the wall to her left, as she did so, the vampire flew to the wall.  He was slumped against the wall.  The girl then focused on a pointed piece of wood that looked like a chair leg.  As she stared at it, it levitated, and then she jerked her head to where the vampire was still slumped.  The wood flew toward him, and went straight through his chest, and turned him to dust.

Lexie walked around the corner, with a glazed look over her face.  She walked toward the girl, "What the hell?"

The girl turned to Lexie.  "Who are you?"

"Chill, I'm not a vampire… My name is Lexie, I'm the vampire slayer."  Lexie said, slightly nervous, afraid that the girl might do the same thing to her that she did to the vampire.

"So you're the slayer, huh?" The girl said with a very serious look on her face.

"Yea, and you're a witch."  Lexie said, giving her the same look.

"Yep, I sure am."  Still trying not to look interested to meet the 'famous vampire slayer'… finally she broke her serious look with a smile, "You can calm down now, I won't hurt you."

Lexie sighed in relief, and laughed a little, "I have to admit, I was a little intimidated by you… so, what's your name?"

"Taylor."

"So, you kill vampires often?"

Taylor laughed, "Only when they try to bite me."

It looked as if Lexie had finally found a friend, even though they had only known each other for 5 minutes, Lexie thought it was nice to talk (and laugh) with someone who wasn't a vampire or a vampire slayer.
