The Hunt Chapter 4 Buffy and Derek pay a visit to the vampires nesting place.
Buffy quickly gets off of Derek. He then stays on the ground for a bit until Buffy gives him a hand and helps him up.
"How do we get in?" ask Buffy to Derek. "It's probably locked."
"When there is a will there's a way," says Derek as he takes out his switchblade. He begins to pick at the lock and opens the door. Derek pulls the sliding door quietly.
"Do you think they heard that?" ask Buffy.
"I hope not," says Derek as he enters the room and closes the door after Buffy enters.
Inside they see many sleeping vampires all around the room.
"You're ready?" ask Derek. He pulls out a stake and hammer and Buffy pulls out only a stake.
Suddenly, a hand grabs Buffy's leg. She almost falls and Derek catches her. Buffy kicks the face of the person that grabbed her, which was quick supper of the vampires that is still alive. After that some of the vampires start to wake up and they can smell the living near them.
"I think they heard us," says Derek.
"You think," says Buffy with sarcasm. They stand back to back from each other and start to fight. Outmatch by number, 50 vampires versus two mortals, they beat them down as best as they can. Some fled because they see that they are staking them by the dozens. Buffy and Derek kick two out the window and they disintegrate into dust as the sun hit their flesh.
Soon the room becomes empty and the two surviving souls exit the room with cuts and bruises everywhere.
"That was fun," says Buffy limping to their room next door.
"We should do it again sometime," says Derek. "Ouch." They both enter their room.
"I need a hot shower," says Buffy limping over to the bathroom. Derek looks at Buffy with a smile. "By myself."
"I didn't say anything," says Derek as he touches one of his bad wounds. Buffy sees that wound on Derek's left arm. Blood was coming out of it in big amounts.
"You're hurt," says Buffy going over to him.
"It's not that bad," says Derek in a lot of pain.
"Come on," says Buffy pulling over to the bathroom. "I've had worst but I've got slayer healing powers." Buffy sits him down on the toilet seat and takes off her cardigan sweater. She rips it in half.
"Take off your shirt," says Buffy.
"Meanwhile, Xander meets up with Josh and his so called emergency at a four star restaurant. He looks at Josh and Josh turns him around where he sees Catia sitting at one of the restaurant's tables. Josh pushes him inside and Xander walks over to the table.
"Hi," says Xander being polite.
"This wasn't my idea," says Catia. Xander smiles and walks over to her side.
"I know," says Xander. "Would you call it murder if I strangled Josh?" Catia thinks about that for a minute.
"Well, I guess if you don't kill him is not," replies Catia. "He tells me everything and I tell him everything."
"Bad idea to do that with Josh," says Xander as he sits down.
"It's a little late for that warning," says Catia.
If it were another time I wouldn't mind having lunch or dinner with you," says Xander. "But I'm in sort of in the middle of some thing really important."
"Sure, if you gotta go then go."
"It's not you. Really."
"I understand, but what about your girlfriend."
"Yeah, that's what I'm in the middle of. It's something we do together."
"She doesn't mind if your hear with me?"
"Well, she doesn't know this time, but I don't think she'll mind. Although I'd be scared of her."
"Why/"
"She hits hard." Xander laughs.
"She uses you and abuses you."
"No, no. Nothing like that, but I'd probably wouldn't want to get her angry."
"I don't think you should get any woman angry."
"You've got a point there."
"So when are you free?" Xander is in shock when she ask him that.
Back at the hotel Buffy finishes bandaging up Derek's arm. He moves it around and feels less pain then before.
"Thanks," says Derek." You're really good."
""With the many wounds I've gotten I've gotta," says Buffy throwing away the bloody clothes she use to wipe away the blood. "I also picked up a couple of things from an ex-boyfriend who was in the military."
"You find your way around it," says Derek. "I like that in a woman." Buffy blushes and turns away from him.
"It's good for the type of job you have too." Derek gets up and walks out of the bathroom. He walks pass the balcony door and looks out to the sun. Everything becomes blurry to him and then they all seem to drift away from him.
Inside the bathroom Buffy was just about to take off her shirt when she hears a thump. She heads out into the living room and sees Derek on the ground.
"Derek!" says Buffy as she drops to his side. She checks his pulse, but then notices something else. He's been bitten.
Xander enters the room and sees Buffy on the ground with Derek.
"What happen?" ask Xander.
"Derek he's been bitten but is still breathing."
"Let's take him to the hospital." Xander helps Buffy pick Derek up. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, come on." They exit the room and Xander calls 911 on his cell phone.
"Hello, we have a man at the Hilton hotel in 50th street. He's loss a lot of blood. We need an ambulance right now."
As they walk down the hallway the encounter two vampires and behind them comes the leader of the vampires.
"Um, hurry," says Xander as he puts his phone away.
"Oh, poor Derek," says the leader of the vampires, a female. "He must be suffering with no blood of his own."
"Take him," says Buffy. "I'll deal with them."
"Are you sure?"
"Go!" Xander moves towards the elevator with Derek as Buffy shields them from the vampires.
"So you're the slayer," says the woman vamp.
"How long did it take you figure that out?"
"Not very long." The two vampires run to Buffy and tackle her onto the ground.
Xander gets down to the lobby and tells someone to watch Derek for him until the ambulance comes. He then returns to the elevator.
Back upstairs Buffy is pulled up and her arms are pin to her back by the vampires holding her up. The woman vampire walks over to Buffy. She goes over and to Buffy's ear.
"You're the slayer who sleeps with her enemy," says the vamp.
"I'm sorry I don't do girls." The vamp sneers at her the tilts Buffy's head to the side.
"I've never tasted a slayer before." Buffy struggles to get lose but is unable.
When Xander comes out of the elevator, he sees the vamp about to bite Buffy.
