Chap. 3

- Ms. Summers, can you please pay attention to this class. I know that's the last class of the day, but summer vacation is over now!

Buffy: Oh, yes Mrs. I know Mrs.…

- Well, then, tell me what I was talking about for the last few minutes?

Buffy: Oh, it was… well…

- Buffy it's….

- Ms. Rosenberg, please don't whisper to Ms. Summers.

Willow: I'm sorry Mrs., I will not…

- Well, then, ok… So… I'm still waiting Ms. Summers.

Buffy: I…well…I

The bell rings.

Buffy: have to go, my mom is waiting for me.

Willow: Buffy, wait, this teacher gives me the creeps; you are so lucky to be saved by the bell.

Buffy: Yes, I was, I hate this teacher, but that's not my problem, I'm more concerned about what Giles has to say….

- Hey girls, how has your class with Cruella de Ville?

Willow: Horrible Xander, she almost exploded when I whispered to Buffy.

- Hi guys, are you all going to the library to search about the new apocalypse?

Xander: Cordy, what are you talking about, it's just some vamps that may be difficult to kill, that's all, no such thing as an apocalypse.

Cordy: I'm so glad, 'cause then I can go and have my manicure... What? Don't look at me like that; it's been 5 months since I had one. See ya. (She kisses Xander and leaves)

Xander: I will never understand women, especially not Cordelia.

Buffy: She's unique…

- Hey! What's up! I just saw Cordy, and she looked like she was in a hurry.

Willow: Hi Oz! (She kisses him) Oh, Cordy has an appointment.

Oz: It must be a very important one.

Xander: Important, yeah right…

They entered the library, where Giles was consulting his books. He looked very tired.

Buffy: Hey Giles, so can you tell us what we're dealing with and in what kind of trouble

we are in?

Giles: Oh, yes, you see, I searched all night, and eventually, I found information on Angelus.

Xander: Oh, yes, the Angel guy.

Buffy: Xander, please!

Giles: He was the Scourge of Europe; everybody was afraid of him and still is. He's very powerful and his sire, Darla, sired him about two and a half centuries ago. She was the favorite of the Master who made her.

Willow: The Master!

Xander: Oh great, Buffy killed the Master, and now we have one of his children in town.

Buffy: What about the two others?

Giles: Oh, well, you told me about Dru, well her full name is Drusilla; she was one of Angelus' victims.

Oz: So, he made her.

Giles: Indeed, she also has some kind of power, but I haven't found out what it is yet.

- Hey guys! I came as soon as possible. Any news?

He came sit closer to Buffy and took her hand.

Buffy: Yes Riley, we were just about to find more information on the fourth vampire, Spike.

Giles: Yes, well, the last one, Spike; is known as William the Bloody. Drusilla sired him.

Xander: That's so funny, the Master sires Darla who sires Angel guy who sires Dru whatever who sires Spike the Bloody. Ah ha, you were right Buffy, they are a family.

Willow: What's the funny thing about it? Now, we have a bigger problem. Before, it was just 4 vamps, but now it's the Master's family.

Giles: Willow is right, if they are from the Master's family, they must be very powerful.

Riley: Yes, but Buffy already killed the Master, so she can kill them too.

Xander: Yeah, but what about the fact that she almost died the first time? We can't risk that again.

Buffy: But I must destroy them if they are so dangerous to people.

Giles: Well, tonight, Buffy, you patrol with Riley. Willow and Oz, could you come and help me with some books when you come home from the Bronze?

Willow: Sure, I mean, if it's ok with Oz?

Oz: It is. The group is talking a break tonight.

Willow: Great!

Xander: And Cordy and me?

Buffy: You guys can do like Willow and Oz. Just enjoy your night at the Bronze and help Giles afterwards. If that's ok with Giles…

Giles: Well, it's ok as long as you are safe, and here is pretty safe, so...

Buffy: It's already time to go home, see ya tonight guys. Riley, pick me up at 10.30 at the

Bronze. Ok?

Riley: I will.

Willow: Oz, are you coming to my house for an hour?

Oz: Yeah, sure.

Xander: Well, I will go home too and call Cordy.

Riley: I need to make a report so I will go too.

Everybody: Bye, Giles.

Giles (whispering): Bye everyone and God protects you all…
