Ok guys, this chapter isnt gonna be from King's point of view, it's in that really nice form that is so much more easy to write….ahhh love third person. Im not really sure as to who I want King with, however, I think its gonna be Buffy because I want me some King/Angel confrontation. pats Hannibal on the head Yeah, hes rarin to go. This chapter is gonna be a part two-er but happening at the same time. This point being from when Willow arrives back at the dorm after dropping the Nighstalkers at her home and the research involved at Giles'. The next being from King's (or Abby's I haven't decided yet) at Willow's home (yes she trusts them…sort of) during the day getting in some down time hint hint nudge nudge.
Elfie- Think I'm gonna go with season 4 on this one. Explains a lot of tension between both Buff and Angel, and their relationship is virtually non-existant in this series, but it's before she meets dorko Riley. Hegh and before Spikey's chip. May have him make a cameo appearance as well.
Hannah- You're not kidding about it being hot between them two. I think they're gonna have a sparring something or another and have him get the best of her, you know, typical Mary Sue crap. I think I used the right term in there shrugs
Sean- Yeah it does take place before Blade Trinity….I just wanted to get Dex out of there because I wanted to bring in a different character, because I used him (Kenji) in a Post Trinity fic that I just wrote. Sorry for the confusion.
Oh someone asked me where Blade was….seeing as how this is in the 4th season of Buffy, which aired sometime in 1999-2000 Blade isn't in this…yet. Depending on how far I get with this story, I may do a post-blade including the daywalker. Shrugs Who knows?
Willow walked back into the dorm room at 9:37 a.m. after dropping off the three strangers at her parent's house. So what if she had no idea who they were, her parents weren't home and it was doubtful they were going to steal anything. The mechanical devices and weaponry they brought with them from L.A. were most likely the amount of the house and its entirety. Willow believed her Snoopy memorabilia collection was in no immediate danger.
Buffy was already dressed and perched tensely at the end of her bed, staring at the door waiting for Willow to arrive.
"So, are our new guests settled? God just when I think Im going to get a few weeks off from any major apocalyptic half assed attempts this bombshell lands right in the middle of my town. Not to mention the skulking ex-boyfriend who is extremely allergic to sunlight has taken to tailing me every night I go on patrol." Buffy stood and sighed heavily. "Why me?"
"They're fine, Buffy. I get the feeling they don't want to end the world and they seem genuine enough. I can run a few preliminary spells to see if their auras are pure just to squash any concerns you may or may not have." Willow put her bag down and strolled over to the bookcase, searching for a particular book specializing in auratic sensitizing.
"Here we go." Willow pulled the book from the shelf and collapsed onto Buffy's bed, the golden title of the book shining out to them.
"Isn't that one of Giles' books?" Buffy said, fingering the golden letters of 'Malnagrane Compendium.'
"Yeah. He let me borrow it when I started dabbling. On the dark magic scale of one to ten this one is a .5." Willow opened it and began leafing through the pages.
Buffy rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling, thinking about the new found warriors that tracked this newfound demon into her town. They looked like they had their stuff together, where she used stakes, they used guns. Guns with ultra-violet bullets; pretty nifty stuff. Even though, of course, Buffy would never, EVER touch a gun. They wigged her out.
"Ah, here's a basic spell, no herbs or crystals needed. Just a vivid image in my mind and presto," Willow closed the book and her eyes simultaneously "instant tarot reading, without the cards."
Buffy watched as Willow furrowed her brow, and began to think about the images she saw at Angel's. Yeah, she knew which one she'd use to read King's aura. Even Angel didn't have a body like that. A girl can fantasize. Ok, so Buffy admitted to herself finally that he was a bit of a roughneck, but definitely do-able.
"Yeah, Buffy. They're clean. Other than King's brief stint, well ok not so brief, as a vampire, they're clean." Willow got up and replaced the book.
Suddenly the phone rang and Buffy lunged for it, anything to keep her mind from the yummy thoughts that were of Hannibal King.
"Hello, Buffy. Could you and Willow possibly swing by here sometime today to go over what I have found about Kigatilik and about this other breed of vampire?"
"Heya Giles. Sure, no prob. Any idea whats going on with the creepy threesome who stumbled in last night?"
"No I cant say that I have heard any such news from that front. I shall give them a call after you though and report to you when I see you. Any time I should be expecting you?"
"Bout an hour or so sound good? Willow wants to finish up here and we're gonna catch breakfast."
Willow began to pick up her stuff while Buffy wrapped up the call with Giles so they could head out to catch some breakfast
Sitting around Giles' table, Willow, Buffy and Xander stared at the plethora of information on the other vampiric race while not much turned up about Kigatilik. Only that it is from Hindu mythology and that they used certain spells and so forth to put it back into hiding. No one has ever been able to kill it, and have it stay dead.
"First and foremost I want to say that Kigatilik is going to be a very big problem. I do not have the resources here to fully research its origins and whatever may or may not come along with it, however, all that I do know is what King informed us with." Giles picked up a nearby book and pointed at a picture which, in all purposes, was butt ass ugly.
"King described the demon almost perfectly; leaving out the more disturbing aspects of the demon, such as the skin of the body is virtually impenetrateable, the lion's head should have been plural, its actually got three of them, and the dragon's tail is about 40 feet long encrusted in five foot spikes. If I could just find out the race of the demon, as Kigatilik is its name, we'd be better prepared."
"Looking up the other vampires, however, was much easier. There are over thousands of different bloodlines, all assigned different glyphs. Some vary in one line, the others are completely different; no rhyme or reason to the association to their owner whatsoever. The majority of them aren't out to finish off the world, but to find out how to create an ever lasting food source. Danica Talos is the head of such operation."
Giles continued onto the gorier details of some of Danica's exploits until he got to the part where King came in.
"Records show that King met Danica at a bar and she took him back to her place. After torturing him for a week, she ended up turning him because essentially she fell in love with her play-thing. As much as a vampire can love at any rate. Hannibal was with Danica's crew the night he ran into young Abigail Whistler and she offered to help him. He accepted, and Danica never got over his deception. To this day there is evidence stating that she is still looking for him. Buffy, he was used for various sex games with Danica, all involving violence and torture. He was drained until the point of death and then forced to feed from nearby familiars."
Buffy mulled this over and stared intently at the book open in front of her, which happened to be a picture of Danica accompanied by her brother and a very large guy with silver fangs.
"Did you get a hold of them at Willows?" Xander asked.
"Ah, yes. They will be by shortly. "They wanted to get a little more rest in, seeing as how they had no idea the next time they would get any. According to Kenji, they were on an 82 hour stretch, only taking ten minute naps here and there between sightings of the demon. They also said they'd call their headquarters and see if their researchers have found out any more information about Kigatilik."
"So we wait, then. That I can do." Buffy grabbed a nearby book and read the nearest passages about the new breed of vampires.
Part 5 will be coming soon, that's all Nightstalker stuff, you know how this background information needs to be thrown out there for the stuff to make any sense. Review, pwease.
