The Hunt Chapter 5. Buffy is about be bitten, will Xander be able to save her? Oh by the way for all you to know Derek is "BonJovi." Every time you see him just think of him. Sorry for the delay. Do enjoy.

"Hey!" yells Xander getting the vamps attentions.

"Why do you deal with mortals? It's so stupid. You know they could easily get killed," says the female vamp.

"Xander get out of here! This is not your fight," says Buffy. The female vamp sees the concern look on Buffy then looks at Xander.

"Like hell it isn't," says Xander pulling out a stake from his jacket. "It's been a while but I know how to kill a vampire."

"Oh, he's hot," says the female vamp. "I want his blood." She pushes Buffy away.

"No! Xander!" Buffy struggles to get away from the other vamps as the female vamp walks over to Xander. "Run!" Tears begin to fall from Buffy's eyes as she sees the female vamp seduce Xander and kiss him on the lips. Xander attempts to stake her, since he has her so close but was two seconds too slow and she grabs his stake.

"Don't do that," says the female vamp. "You'll miss the fun." The female vamp grabs his neck and tilts it.

Suddenly Xander stakes her in the back with his other stake. She screams and pushes Xander against the wall hard. The female vamp sneers at Xander and realizes that he didn't get far enough to get the heart.

Buffy then hit's the two vamps holding her with her head and they release her. She runs over to the female vamp as she tries to go after Xander again and kicks her in the face. Xander gets up and pushes the elevator button.

"You don't happen to have another stake on you do you?" ask Buffy.

"Nope, could only fit two," replies Xander.

"You little…"

"Watch the strong language," says Buffy. The elevator doors open and Xander grabs Buffy by the waist and pulls her in. He presses the close door button to close the door before the vamps try to hitch a ride. Buffy turns to Xander and hugs him tightly then she hit him.

"Ouch, what was that for?" ask Xander.

"That's for almost trying to yourself killed," says Buffy.

"You're welcome."

"And for saving my life. This." Buffy grabs Xander and kisses him hard on the lips. Xander wraps his arms around her. The elevator doors open and the people at the lobby watch them. The two release and smile at their audience. Then they hear the ambulance siren. The paramedics enter the lobby and take Derek.

"What happen to him?" ask on of the paramedics.

"He was fighting some really bad people…" Buffy begins to explain.

"There was like five or six of them and he was just trying to protect his sister," says Xander. Buffy looks at Xander with both eyes raise high.

"You're family," says another of the paramedics. "You can come with us." Buffy looks at Xander.

"I'll meet you there," says Xander knowing what Buffy's expression said. Xander heads over to valet to get his car.

The from the elevator the female vamp exits it. In a red dress and coat with a hood makes her blend in with the innocent crowd of mortals. She heads over to the exit and follows Xander with her eyes as he gets into his car and drives away.

"Maim," says a valet guy. She turns to him with her blue eyes. "Are you here to take your car out?"

"Yes, I'm hungry. I want some fast food," says the woman. The valet nods his head and gets the woman's keys to her car.

Meanwhile in the ambulance, the paramedics look at Buffy and see that she has a couple of nasty scars similar to the ones of the victim.

"Did they get to you too?" ask one of the paramedics.
"Uh."

"The guys that jumped you and your brother."

"Oh, yeah."

"Does are pretty bad wounds."

"Yeah, but at least I'm conscious."

As Xander is heading to the hospital, he gets a call in his cell phone. It's Josh and Xander rolls his eyes at the sight of his number in the caller ID.

"Josh I'm really busy and if it's about Catia then just hang up and don't bother talking to me," says Xander.

"Ah come on Xander," says Josh. "She's hot, intelligent. She's your type."

"She's the type you think is my type," says Xander. "Look, things are going good for me and Buffy."

"I thought she never liked you," says Josh.

"Yeah, back then but I'm still in love with her."

"Xander don't get your heart broken and come crying to me."

"I won't. It won't happen."

"I would you know?"

"Cause I think she loves me too."

"I hope you're right bro."

"Yeah, me too." Xander hangs up and stops at a red light. He looks to his left and sees a woman in red driving a BMW. She pulls her hood off and Xander sees her face. Then some of the cars behind him start to honk at him. He steps on the gas and drives off.

As Xander arrives at the hospital unharmed, he finds where Buffy is. He goes over to her out of breath.

"Xander's what's wrong?" ask Buffy concern.

"You not going to believe this," says Xander as he sits down next to Buffy.

"What?"

"The female vamp," Xander whispers. "She was driving a BMW on the road with the windows open."

"Are you sure it was her?"

"Positive."

"How can she do that?"

"I'm thinking Derek isn't tell us everything he knows about her. Looks to me like they are close."

"We'll have time to ask him later. What about the other vamps?"

"No she was alone."

A minute later the doctor comes over to them with a clipboard in his hand. Buffy and Xander stand up.

"You're his sister? Right." ask the doctor. Buffy nods her head yes. "Derek for now is in stable conditions but somehow he's not responding to any medications we give him to come into consciousness."

"He's going to be alright is he?" ask Xander.

"Yes, it's a strange case we have here but his vital signs are normal and he should regain consciousness."

"Can we see him?"

"Yes, but only family is allowed." Buffy looks at Xander.

"He's my fiancé." Xander's eyes say 'what' when hears what Buffy said. She grabs his right hand.

"Alright, follow me." The three head down the hall towards Derek's room and from afar Xander sees the woman in red. "Talk to him. Maybe a familiar voice could wake him." Buffy goes over to Derek's side and holds his hand. The doctor leaves the room.

"Buffy," says Xander as he closes the door. "She's here."

"What?"

"The female vamp. I saw her in her in the hall way."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, why do you keep asking me that?"

"Xander its just that she has pull on her victims. I didn't know she was doing until she had me and was ready to bite me. Maybe she's doing the same to you. Making you see things."

"Buffy I'm not crazy. I felt whatever you said she could do, but the whole time I just keep thinking of you. I needed to get you out of there and her magic didn't work on me." Buffy walks over to Xander and caresses his face.

Suddenly they hear someone clearing their throat. Buffy and Xander turn to look at Derek on the bed wide awake.

"How about you two get a room," says Derek.

"You freaked us out Derek. What happen?" ask Buffy going over to his side.

"I didn't take my medicine is what happen," replies Derek. "Hand me my pants will you."

Xander grabs the bag with Derek's stuff and tosses the bag to Buffy to give to Derek.

"Why didn't you tell me you were bitten?" ask Buffy. Derek pulls out a little vile from his pants pocket and takes it.

"This bite wasn't recent," says Derek.

"What type of medicine is that?" ask Xander.

"It's for me. You have a spare vile?" ask the woman entering the room. Xander and Buffy look toward the door.
