The Pressure of Retirement
By
A Woman's Touch
She sat outside to hear the new promises that the morning made to her about beauty and stillness of life. It was three months since her last battle and this warrior was finally starting her retirement. There were slayers in the world who were learning there power and she was the one that most of them will feel they will have to live up to. She will be the holy grail of them all. It sucked being on top Buffy thought to herself. She walked back into the house and her sister was un-packing recreating her room in how she liked it.
Buffy looked down and she saw high-heeled shoes on the floor. Dawn quietly picked them up and Buffy gave her a look. Buffy looked in her room and it was decorate with pictures of friends. Willow had gone to Kennedy's home to meet the parents and lived the high life while homing in her skills. Xander was in Africa and Giles was right behind her.
"What do you think?" inquire Giles. Buffy looked at him with honest eyes. "Bored?" Buffy replied. Buffy walked down the hall and Giles followed. "There slayers everywhere and now there's no use for me. If this is retirement, it sucks because know I have to get a job and I don't think my skills could get me work." Buffy told the Englishman. Giles smiled. "You've find something. Are you sure Connecticut is a hell mouth?" Buffy asked. "As far as I know." Giles answered. As Buffy entered the living room, she sat down and look to her right where Spike was there. He's been like that all the time, inside her mind. She put her head in his lap. "I meant it you know." Giles saw the daughter he never had still sad. He saw what losing Angel did to her and Spike felt like he was rewinding the tape and watching it again but the guy changed.
Giles walked in Dawn's room. "How is she?" Dawn asked. "She's still dealing." Giles replied. Dawn walked into the living room and Buffy lied down on the couch. Dawn held her hand and Buffy woke up. "What's wrong?" Buffy asked thinking something was wrong. "Nothing." Dawn told her big sister. Buffy smiles and then a tear rolled down his cheek. "I'm okay." Buffy hugged Dawn.
Night fell, Buffy went out hunting. She walked down the streets to make sure no one in this town was thinking of her strange. She saw the side street and that's when the gang of vamps was walking down the street. How did she know? Seven years of experience or the fact that they ambush her, you make the call? The killing is being done and Buffy, the retire vampire slayer, man that sounded depression. Anyway, she knocked out three and she wasn't even tired. She could have taken the last two but she will never know because they flew in different directions. The other girl stood with malice in her eyes and the vamps will feel her wrath. She took them both on and had no hesitation with every fist and kick. In the end, they were just dust. Buffy stood there impressed. The women walked to her and shake her hand. "Do you where you are? You're in Connecticut baby, I'm Josephine!" Josephine introduces herself. "How did you…?" Buffy asked.
"I've had telekinesis since I was young and now it's just second nature. I hate vampires with a passion too." Josephine said. Buffy just looked at her. "You know…" Buffy was about to ask. "Buffy Summers and you're one of the longest living slayers ever." Josephine said. Buffy shake her head. "I get downloads in my head of you and man I'm seriously impressed. You made it so every girl knows what they are. That means vamps were going to get dusted. However, the numbers are on the vampire's side in Connecticut." Josephine said with a sad look. "Why?" Buffy asked. "I'll fill you in." Josephine and Buffy walked off.
In the mansion across town, she curled her smile with delight as they did what she wanted them to do. They walked back out because she dismissed them. The butler came in.
"Will that be all Miss Amy?" Amy smiles with her vampire face on and she turned back to normal. "Yes Buffy Summers at my back and call."
