Chapter 3
Buffy and Spike were out patrolling together the next night. Buffy looked at him and saw how upset he still seemed to be. "You didn't have to come with me." She said and he looked at her.
"I'm not letting you out of my sight." Buffy didn't know what to say and they continued walking to the familiar demon bar. She wanted to know what was coming and figured that Willy might know something about a new evil in Sunnydale. They walked inside and all the demons turned to look at them. Some recognized them and decided to take off before they could get killed. Buffy walked over to Willy and he looked up at her.
"Slayer, it's been a while." He told her and she gave him a fake smile.
"Yeah, I'm sure you missed me. I wanna know if you know of anything that I don't. See anything strange the last few nights, Willy?" Willy gulped.
"That depends, you gonna hit me if I don't talk." Buffy smiled at him and Spike just looked around the bar and decided to let her handle it.
"You know me so well. Now what do you know?" Willy sighed and leaned in closer to her.
"I don't know much, but there was someone in here last night asking about you." That got Spike's attention and he turned back to look at the scared bartender.
"Who was it?" He asked before Buffy got the chance to and Willy then turned his gaze on him.
"Don't know, guessing some demon that's gunning for the Slayer. There was nothing human sounding about that voice." Buffy looked around and then back at Willy.
"What did they look like?" Willy shook his head.
"Don't know that either. From what I could tell it looked like some demon biker. Wearing a lot of leather and a motorcycle helmet so I couldn't make out the face, only heard their voice. Said his name was Lex or something like that. That's all I know." Buffy nodded and then headed out of the bar with Spike right behind her. They continued to the cemetery to continue patrolling and look for anyone that resembled the description that Willy said. They were walking for what seemed like forever when they were jumped by these vampires. Buffy saw that there were three of them. She took the two closer to her while Spike handled the other one. She pulled out her stake and plunged it into the vampire's heart that was to her right. She was about to do the same to the one on her left when he knocked the stake out of her hand and grabbed her by the neck. Then out of nowhere came a motorcycle and the biker crashed into the vampire and knocked him to the ground causing him to let go of Buffy. Spike staked the vampire he was fighting and looked up at the biker that suddenly showed up. They got off the bike and then grabbed Buffy's stake that was on the ground and fought the vampire. Buffy didn't know what to think, but was amazed at the biker's skills. He almost fought as well as her. The biker finally plunged the stake into the vampire's heart and brushed some of the dust off of the leather and then turned and looked at Buffy. Buffy then crossed her arms over her chest.
"So, I hear you've been looking for me. Thanks for the help, but we could have handled it." The biker gave a sinister laugh and it made Buffy's skin crawl.
"You sure about that?" Buffy glared at the demon.
"Who are you and why were you asking for me?" She asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know." The biker said and Buffy wasn't amused.
"Well, yeah that would be why I asked. You could at least take off the helmet so I can see the demon that I'm about to fight." The biker shrugged.
"I usually wouldn't, but for you I'll make an exception. It's getting hot in here anyway." The biker grabbed the helmet and pulled it over their head. Buffy looked a little surprised to see that it wasn't a demon, but a girl. She had long blonde hair that she was shaking out when she took her helmet off. "That's much better." Her voice sounded more human also. Spike walked closer to Buffy and couldn't take his eyes off of the girl either. Something about her seemed familiar. "I could really use a shower right about now." She told them.
"You don't look like a demon." Buffy said and the girl rolled her eyes.
"Nothing gets by you. Nope, I'm pretty much human. These things really come in handy." She said as she raised the helmet. "Disguises the voice so I can sound like anything I want. Pretty cool isn't it?" Buffy still didn't know what to think and she crossed her arms over her chest again.
"I've never seen those before." She replied and the girl looked at her again.
"No, you wouldn't. Not yet anyway." Buffy then decided to get to the point.
"Willy said you were looking for me. He said your name was Lex." Buffy stated.
"It's Lexa actually and so what if I was looking for you? That doesn't mean that I'm evil." Lexa turned her gaze to Spike and then back to Buffy. "Does he talk?" Buffy nodded.
"Sometimes you can hardly shut him up. This is Spike." Lexa smiled.
"Yeah, I know who he is. Just like I know who you are." Buffy didn't know what to think about that and Spike finally found his voice.
"How do you know us? Who are you?" Lexa lost her smile.
"It's a long story; let's just say I'm here to help you." She told them.
"Help us with what?" Buffy asked and Lexa took a deep breath.
"Someone is coming. I'm not sure when they would arrive, but I know they're coming to kill the Slayer and I was sent here to stop that from happening." Buffy seemed even more confused and didn't know what to say, but Spike spoke for her.
"Sent here from where?" He asked and Lexa turned her gaze back on him.
"I was sent here from the future. The year 2021 to be exact." She told them and Buffy and Spike looked at each other, neither knowing what to say.
