Phase 17
Sunnydale
With crimson tipped nails, she carefully removed the sedative cartridge from the tranquilizer gun
and replaced it with her own designer concoction.
It took a lot of research to create a substance that would fell vampires. She'd had to consult
some pretty ancient text written in a demonic Latin which she was barely familiar with. There
were also some pretty elaborate components, some of them semi-scarce and she'd had to send
their minions on a treasure hunt. The dry ingredients were then laced with the deer's last blood
which she herself had retrieved.
One very complex potion for one very special vampire. Her soon-to-be prisoner.
Willow was a vampire, but even among vampires she was especially cruel. She loved to hunt
and she also loved to torture her prey before finishing them off. Her antics had made her a
favorite of the Master, and she'd in turn had brought her childe/lover along with her.
Originally, Willow Rosenberg had been a quiet, unassuming Jewish girl from a middle class
family. She'd been a bit of an outcast and her fashion sense was almost non-existent and thus
she was an easy target among the more popular kids of Sunnydale High. Her one friend was the
equally socially inept Alexander Harris for which she harbored a romantic crush.
Unfortunately, her affection was unrequited and she became accustomed to the idea that there
would never be anybody to love her. Soon after she accepted that idea, she caught the eye of a
new arrival to Sunnydale: the guitarist known simply as Oz. Oz and Willow became a couple
and heir initial attraction grew into a deeper feeling with each passing day. Little, by little the
shy redhead came out of her lonely shell.
Everything seemed ideal until the Hellmouth opened and the vampire known as the Master rose.
Sunnydale became a battleground as demons turned on the human population. Willow was one
of the first humans that were turned by the vampires to increase their numbers.
As sweet as she had been, she was ruthless. As loving as she had been, she was brutal. She
lived for the kill and to fulfill her basest desires. Willow became the reigning princess of the
Sunnydale underworld. She also began to experiment with the dark arts in order to augment her
powers. The vampiress became a very skilled witch. Her beauty and influence drew in other
vampires to her, both male and female. Willow's lovers were many but she felt that she needed
a true partner. She chose her first love.
Xander and Willow became the most revered and feared vampires on the Hellmouth. As the
Master's representatives they had full command over all the vampires in Sunnydale and under
their watch the city bled and its human residents were all but wiped out.
But now the Slayer was in town and her presence would soon make itself known. Willow had
read much about Slayers and she new just how dangerous they could be. This one needed to be
taken down and that's where the Slayer's vampire consort would come in handy. The vampiress
wondered about this particular vamp. It was highly unusual for a demon to commit himself to
the Slayer's cause as it went directly against their very nature.
Still, he would provide for wonderful amusement. She had no doubts that she could turn him
against the Slayer and have him provide his insight regarding her, insight that would be used to
defeat her.
"They are coming" Xander's words drew her from her reverie. Willow cocked her gun and
readied to take her place.

"I have a bad feeling about this" Larry whispered as he gripped his bag of newly-sharpened
stakes.
"Yeah. Where are all the vamps? Isn't this a vamp infested city or you were just exaggerating to
get me here?" The Slayer's annoyed voice rang in the too-quiet night.
"No exaggeration. There are here...just not visible at the moment"Oz explained in an appeasing
manner.
The Slayer shrugged and tossed her long braid about unconcernedly "Maybe they got wind of
my being in the city and decided to abandon ship"
"I don't think they know that you are in Sunnydale yet. Its not like we advertised" Nancy
amended
"She certainly advertised herself last night" Larry offered and retreated out of Buffy's reach
"Don't blame her. The poor girl couldn't help herself" the vampire said with a grin
He was rewarded with a light shove from his girlfriend.
"Immature-much. And God, haven't you people heard of orgasms"
"Quiet children! If they didn't know that she was here they certainly do now" The Watcher's
tone successfully silenced the group
They were nearing the club formerly known as the Bronze, now the Master's lair. The normally
heavily guarded area was deserted and the streets had a ghostly feeling to them. Buffy's eyes
summarily swept the shadows for vampires but her heightened senses told her that the only one
was her lover. She glanced at him and the typical fluttering settled in her belly. He looked so
handsome in his distressed denim jacket. They had decided to leave the duster at home to
decrease his chances of being recognized as it might be to their advantage.
Spike felt her gaze on him and he gave her a reassuring smile. He knew that as confident as she
wanted to appear, she felt uneasy about leading the group to danger. Up until now the Slayer
had been a solo act. It would be difficult to act otherwise. He hoped that the transition would be
painless.
At last the structure came into view and the group halted in their tracks. Buffy took command
"Everyone take their positions and remember that I need all exits sealed. I don't want any of my
targets to get away. Holy water is an effective deterrent but it will not stop them from coming at
you. All of you have stakes so use them wisely. This is going to be violent and bloody so I
hope that you all went to the bathroom beforehand. And most of all remember that the Master,
Willow and Xander are all mine"
The group nodded their accordance and went to take their assigned positions. Only Buffy and
Spike remained behind. The vampire took hold of her hand. He noticed that it was shaking
slightly.
"Don't worry pet, I got your back"
The Slayer smiled purposefully.
"Okay then. Here we go"
TBC.
