Chapter 2
Alpha walks down the dark street looking and hunting. Trying to find what ever evil beastie is loose in this town. A small scream came from an alley which he quickly heads down. Alpha runs towards the sounds of struggle to find a red scaled humanoid demon beating on two humans. "You have got to be kidding me. You are trying to take out two teeny boppers all by yourself and you still couldn't get it done. What ever you are seems to be very pathetic." The red demon looks at him while the two teenagers back away further into the corner and hope that helped arrived and not another monster. With Alpha's glowing amber eyes they are unsure of what he might do also. "Were do you want me to send your body. I just want your kind to know what happens when they attack humans on my watch."
"You are human also so you mean nothing. After I dispatch you and will take these two back to the group to feed on. You are too old and passed the freshness age of humans." The demon says as he looks Alpha up and down.
"Lets do it then. You are stopping me from getting some much needed sleep."
Alpha jumps towards the demon and while in mid air takes a knife out from behind his back and holds it in his hand with the blade pointing down. The demon jumps back and also pulls a blade out of its arm. As Alpha lands and he readies to go on the defense to size up the opponent. The demon heads towards him with slices to his throat and chest. Alpha is able to block most but one gets by and slices in to his shoulder. He howls in pains. His eyes flash brightly for a moment and he proceeds to go on the offensive. His attacks come much faster and more are getting to demon. After a few minutes the demon has kicks and slices all over his chest and arms.
"What are you? No human can do this. Only slayers can and you are not one of those pathetic pieces of flesh. Many of my clansmen have killed them thought the years. They are a week protector."
"I was going to kill you but now you are going to suffer before you are dispatched." With a howl of rage alpha goes in for the attack. Faster then before his knife cuts in to the demon's flesh. Soon cuts are all over is upper torso, back, and a few on the face. "After your death I will hunt down more of your kind. I will slaughter hundreds for every slayer they ever killed. I just want you to now so you don't have to worry about being lonely in hell." He then shoves his knife deep in to the throat of the demon. The gray blood of the demon spills out around the blade and from its mouth. The demon falls back against a wall and slides down to the ground. You can almost see the life drain out of it. Alpha walks over to the demon and rips the knife out and wipes it on the creature's shoulders to get the blood off of it. "Well don't have to worry about this one anymore. You two can run home now and try to stay in lighted areas better. Also try to hang out in bigger groups." He turns around and starts to walk out of the alley to be tackled by a slip of a girl with a lot of power behind her. They roll for a bit and ended up with him on the bottom and a blue eyed red head on top of him.
"What are you? I have been tracking that demon for three days. You just show up and kill him in less than ten minutes. Tell me quickly or I will kill you now. I am not letting any demons regardless of what they look like walking out of here."
"Dam it Red can you Slayers just ask nicely instead of the whole tackle and threaten. Where is your watcher I am listing a formal complaint to him about you." With the last statement Alpha swung his arms out and shoved the girl off him. Quickly standing up waiting for her next attack. She just stayed laid out on the ground.
"I don't have one. That bastard killed him a week ago. I have been catching up to him. I was going to get him tonight but you stepped in and took it away from me. He has been training me for a year now. I went active a couple weeks ago and really started making a killing in the demons in my area. They weren't ready for a Slayer to show up. Apparently the Slayer has been staying in California for years now. She stays protecting the Hellmouth my watcher would always tell me. If I was called I would be expected to head there as well to protect it and stop the demons from opening it. We were heading there from Ohio when the demon and his band attacked us. I kill four others but he got to my watcher and sliced his throat, then ran away while I tried to stop the bleeding. I couldn't stop it and he died. I tried to get help but at was late at night. I was able to call 911 and get EMTs out there but it was well past time. He was dead and I left hunting this demon." She sniffles a little as she tells this story. "I don't even know why I told you this much. I just hurt all over. I don't know what it is but I was hoping that the death of that demon would make it better. It isn't." She stands up and brushes her pants off. "Well I am going to head in. If you want to join me fine. I am leaving town tomorrow. With the slayer dead I needed to get to the Hellmouth before it goes to long with out protection."
"Don't worry about the Hellmouth. A Slayer is there protecting it. You can go where ever you want. Help is needed all over. My name is Alpha and I am getting out of town and head north if you would like to travel with me. Since we are both hunting demons and aren't needed on the Hellmouth then why not hunt together. More protection in packs and the demons won't even know what hit them."
"Alpha? What kind of name is that? How do you know about the slayer situation, how do you know there is a slayer there at all, and my name is Vicky."
"Alpha is what I am. A slayer by the name of Buffy Summers has been on the Hellmouth for 5 years now. I know she is still alive."
"How can she be alive if I am called. She has to die for me to be called. For someone that knows about Slayers and demons you seem to have forgotten an important note"
Alpha moved towards her picking her up and slamming her into the ground. "I know that fact very well little girl. I have seen it three times already. Buffy, Kendra, and Faith have all died around me calling the next slayer. You are the fourth that I have met and if you make another comment about any pervious Slayers I will look for the fifth one to help her along. You understand me girl?" Alpha yells at her with his eyes glowing.
Vicky just stares at him scared about what he can do to her. "Sssssure"
Alpha lets go of her and starts to walk away from her. She jumps to her feet and watches him start to walk off. She quickly jogs up to him and while she is ready for another attack she notices that he seems to be almost in a trance walking along. "Alpha you still with me? I am sorry about the Slayer comment. Knowing that I might only live a few years after being called makes me try not to take too seriously. So how come there are at least two slayers now?"
Alpha just turns his head to her. "Here is what we are going to do. You want the answers come back to my hotel for the night, before you get in to some idea about being picked up I am already mated and not looking for anything. I don't want to talk about it here and I need to bandage up my cuts."
"Mated, god were you raised by wolves?"
"Hyenas."
"What?"
"Hyenas. I am part hyena. Not wolf. Remember that. I do not like being called or compared to a wolf. I am Alpha of the Hyena. My clan is gone and I am all that is left."
"Okay. Hyena like from the Lion King with all the drooling and stuff. Why don't you want to be compared to a wolf? They have such a better image going."
"Not like that. Hyenas are very good hunters and only scavenge when hunting is not at a peak time. They also have stronger jaws and are more vicious then wolves. Trust me Hyenas are the better dog."
"Fine, so you turn in to some werehyena when the moon is full or something."
"Do you even read books or are you trying my patients for a reason. I do not turn in to anything. I am not a werehyena. I am a human that have been gifted with the Hyena spirit and it makes me strong, faster, and with better senses. Man Red you can be very annoying."
"So that explains the eye thing. Those are creepy by the way. How can you so called mate get with you when you have eyes like that?" After she said it the air around her seemed to be colder as if winter was starting to set in not the start of summer.
"She is dead. She died a couple of weeks ago and my eyes don't always look like this. Only when Xander draws very heavily on the spirit do they change color."
"So your name is Xander. Why do you go by Alpha? Xander is not that bad of a name."
"I am Alpha. This body is Xander's but he hasn't recovered from the lose of our mate. She was very special to us and I am here trying to help him. Hopefully soon."
"Okay you can tell me the rest at the hotel room. I am sorry for your lose. I know what it is like even if the feelings for the ones that we have loses are different."
"Thank you. It is around the corner and up the street a little. We can talk about everything there." For the rest of the walk was in silence. Vicky was getting her questions ready while Alpha just enjoyed the presence of another hunter. Even if it has only been a few weeks it has been a long time since he has felt alone.
Alpha walks down the dark street looking and hunting. Trying to find what ever evil beastie is loose in this town. A small scream came from an alley which he quickly heads down.
