In the library Willow sitting next to Buffy round the table, Giles is pacing back and forth explaining to her what she saw and what they are, and how Buffy is involved, Buffy filling in any thing he misses out,
"Wow" Willow says when they finish, Buffy smiles wearily at her,
"You ok?" is asks with a hint of concern in her voice, Willow nods her head then shakes it to get back her train of thought, Buffy smiles,
"So Buffy is the slayer, and the slayer is someone who fights vampires?" she asks for confirmation, Buffy nods as does Giles, Willow smiles, "Cool" she says, Buffy smiles,
"But Will I still don't like you wanting to help, I mean its dangerous" she says with a warning voice Willow sighs,
"But Buffy, I want to help I know its dangerous but I want to, you're my friend and I want to help you" Buffy smiles,
"Thanx Will" Willow smiles enthusiastically,
"So I can help?" she asks excited, Buffy sighs deeply,
"Sure as long as you're careful, you heard what happened to Merrick and my old friend" Buffy explains, Willow nods,
"I know" Buffy smiles slightly,
"Ok then, Giles you ok with this?" she looks at Giles who was listening to Buffy and Willow while they were talking he nods and takes his glasses off and polishes them,
"Yes fine, just be careful both of you" he says, Buffy and Willow both nod with a smile on their faces.
Buffy and Willow are walking out of the school building to head home,
"So Buffy, the whole school outfits you wear, that was just..." Buffy interrupts,
"Yes just to put people of wanting to be my friend, although I sometimes wear them you know to scare vamps away" she says jokily, Willow laughs a little, Buffy stops, walking and turns to Willow, who stops,
"Thanx Will" she says, Willow looks confused,
"For what?" she asks, Buffy sighs,
"For wanting to help for not being pushed away because of my life, I mean I know I pushed people away for their safety but now you know the risks, you can take care of yourself, so thanx" she explains Willow smiles,
"No problem Buff" they both smile and give each other a hug, from the shadows a vampire walks out to them,
"Well well well lookie what I found" he taunts them, Buffy looks at him and smirks,
"Yeh you found two helpless girls," she teases, Willow giggles, the vampire growls at them, and she stops, and steps back,
"Uh Buffy you got any you know weapon?" she asks worried, Buffy turns to her, with a smile and winks, Willow smiles understanding her,
"Oh crap, uh ok could you wait while I get something to kill you?" she asks the vamp innocently, the vampire smirks,
"Sure, oh wait no" and lunges at her, Willow steps back to give Buffy room, Buffy steps aside and the vamp fall past her he turns round and growls, Buffy punches him in the head, holds onto his shoulders and jumps over him, she lands facing him and pulls her shoulders up and kicks his back punching him into the wall, she runs to him before he can attack and plunges a stake into him, she turns to Willow and smiles, Willow claps,
"Well done" she says Buffy walks towards her,
"Thanx, time to get home" she says as she starts walking again, from the shadows where the vamp had come from, another vamp watches them go, and smirks his yellow eyes shining in the darkness, and his vampiric features, showing from the little light in the alley way,
"Well done slayer, he will be pleased" from behind the vampire another walks toward him,
"Do you really believe this girl is the one?" he asks watching the girls go out of view down the street; the vampire who had watched them doesn't answer he turns to face the vampire behind him and smiles, then walks past him into the darkness of the alley.
In the library at Sunnydale High Giles is in his office looking through old prophecy books, Buffy and Willow walk through the library doors linked arms and talking about something unknown, Buffy stops talking and looks around the library she doesn't see Giles,
"Giles?!" she calls out she walks closer to his office door when he walks out,
"Oh Buffy, I wasn't expecting to be back tonight" he exclaims,
"Yeh well I got news" she explains, Giles takes his glasses of and starts to wash them,
"Oh ok, well what is it?" when he puts his glasses back on he sees Willow walking closer to where Buffy stood, she smiles nervously,
"Hi" she says quietly and slightly waves her hand, Buffy smiles at her and looks back to Giles,
"Uh Buffy?" he asks, Buffy sighs,
"Giles this is Willow, she wants to help me, she was attacked in the cemetery tonight and she staked her own vamp, she helped me out and she wants to keep helping... so is that cool?" she explains quickly, Giles looks at her surprised at the quick explanation, he takes his glasses of again,
"Uh yes, um Buffy may I have a word?" he says walking back into his office, Buffy turns to face Willow,
"I'll be right back" she says Willow smiles understanding.
In Giles office he's sitting down in his chair at his desk, he's put the prophecy book away and covered his notes, Buffy comes in shortly after,
"So?" she says, Giles turns to face her,
"Buffy the work the slayer is required to do, is sacred its secret" he explains, Buffy rolls her eyes,
"Giles come on what's so secret about this, people know strange things happen in this town and Willow knows what happens, tonight during patrol she was attacked I helped her she staked a vamp that caught me of guard, she can help she wants to, I have tried to stop her but she wont listen you know me, I didn't even want you helping me, so there is no way I got her involved with this,. She did and if she wants to help, who's to say she won't just go out on her own and try and stake vampires"
Buffy looks at Giles with hope in her eyes, Giles sighs,
"Alright, but make sure she is safe and knows all the risks..."
"Thankyou..."
"...And you do what I say during training and allow me to watch you while you slay, no arguments" Giles finishes, Buffy pouts playfully then smiles,
"Okay" she then turns back to the library main room with a smile on her face; Giles shakes his head and smiles, the smile soon disappears to reveal a saddened face, he turns back to his notes, and it reads,
The blood of the slayer will release the oldest and strongest of vampires, this vampire will rise from the depths of hell, and reclaim the world of the old ones, The Master will rule, and humanity will fall.
