Later that day in Sunnydale High Library
Giles sat at one of the tables in the library. All around him,
on the table were books of all different sizes and languages. Right
now he was scanning through one of the older watcher journals. Aggravated,
he slammed the book down just as Buffy and Willow walked through the doors.
"Whoa, Giles! What has crawled up your butt and died?" Buffy
asked in mild surprise.
"Nothing has crawled up my butt and died, as you so called put
it. I just can't seem to find any references of Kindred anywhere."
Giles said with a little irritation.
"Kindred. What's the big deal about Kindred?" Willow piped
in. Though shy, she never liked being left out of a conversation.
"Willow, I'm sure that's not the same kind of Kindred Giles, here,
is talking about." Buffy said putting her arms around Willow's shoulders.
"Isn't that right, Giles?"
"Oh, yes. That is right. Willow, dear, the Kindred that I am
talking about is a certain type of vampire." Giles started to clean his
glasses as he waited for a reaction from either of the girls. Buffy, of
course, didn't make him wait too long.
"What do you mean by it being a certain type of vampire. I thought
that all vamps were the same. You know all mean and grr like. Buffy
ranted throwing her hands in the air as she spoke.
"Now, Buffy you need to calm down. Getting all upset will get you
nowhere. If we can sit down and discuss this in a reasonable manner,
I will continue." Giles pleaded with his slayer. His British accent
was became more pronounced.
"Fine." Buffy said as she flopped down in one of the chairs by
Giles' table.
Giles gave a cough before he continued. "Well, yes. Were, may
I ask is Oz. I don't want to be repeating this all over again."
"Oh, oh. He said he couldn't make it. He had an early morning
band practice." Willow said. Her eyes glowed with love as she thought
of her quiet and reserved boyfriend.
"Then we will just have to inform him of what is going on at a
later date." Giles said. He started to rub his temples as a headache
began to form.
"Oh, oh. I will do it." Willow almost shouted with excitement.
"Yes, yes. That will be fine. I assume that you will be telling
Angel what was said. Is that right, Buffy?" Giles waited till he saw
Buffy nod before he started talking again. "As I was telling you, a kindred
is another type of vampire." Giles paused and glared at Buffy as she
muttered 'Yeah, yeah.' He straightened his tweed jacket before he began
again. "As I was saying, these vampires are able to walk outside during
the day without turning to dust and they do not die when you stake them."
"WHAT? Where did you hear this?" Buffy yelled getting upset by
the second.
"Xander called and told me about them. It seems that he was
confronted by the master. The master threaten his life. He was barely
able to escape and call for help."
"What?" Buffy and Willow asked in unison.
"Oh Xander." Tears started to form in Willow's eyes as she
thought of the danger her old friend was in.
Buffy pounded her fist on the table. Her eyes blazed with the
anger that was building up inside of her. "We can't just let this happen.
I mean Xander can't very well defend himself. We got to go down there
and kill them basterds before Xander gets hurt."
"That is exactly what we must do. I want you and Angel to go
down there and do what you have to do to protect Xander." Giles said.
A smile almost graced his face as he thought of how now the world might
be a few kindred less.
"I'm going, too." Willow sternly said. Her fiery red hair matched
her fiery temper that was building up in her. "Don't you even dare think
of leaving me behind. I may not be all that powerful but Xander is my best
friend and I am going down there to help him. Whether you like it or not."
"Fine. I am sure that Oz will not be letting you go without him.
It will be up to you three to come up with excuses for your parents."
"Oh that's going to be easy. I will just tell my Mom that we're
going to visit Xander." Buffy said. Her anger finally simmered down.
"I can say the same thing." Willow agreed excited over the fact
that she was going to be able to go.
"The we have everything agreed upon. I think we should meet here
early tomorrow morning."
"I'm sure we will be able to use Oz's van." Willow said with
excitement.
"Yes, yes. That will be fine. Now unless you, two, want to
help with the research then I suggest that you go home and pack." Giles
stopped talking as both of the girls got up and ran out of the library.

"So, dad, what are we doing here." Xander asked as he gazed
around the active club. "You do know that I'm underage to be in here.
Not that I'm complaining, though." Xander hurried up and added.
Frank smiled at his son's rambling. It was good to see Xander
in a good mood, again. "Don't worry I know how old you are. Julian
invited us here tonight to come and see him."
Xander frowned. He hoped that the Ventrue did not know about
him spilling the beans about them to Giles. 'That would be bad.' He
thought.
"Hey! There's no need to frown. He probably just wants to get
to know you better." Frank said trying to cheer his son up. In his
heart, though, he feared it was something much worse.
