Part IV

            The demon growled loudly and stepped towards the buildings. Several other demons followed. They quickly spread out to all parts of the town. The demons were large and stood on two legs. They reminded Buffy of dinosaurs that she'd once seen in pictures.

            "What are those?" Buffy questioned.

            "They are Raptor demons," Grace replied, "They are extremely dangerous. They have heightened senses and are very smart."

            "I knew they reminded me of something," Buffy whispered.

            "Be quiet!" Grace whispered, "We don't want them to know we are here."

            The demons began attacking the buildings. They knew there were people in this town, they could sense them. One of the demons jumped through the windows of the nearest building. Buffy heard screaming inside and then the demon reappeared, carrying someone in its mouth.

            The demon tossed the person out the window. The man landed on his stomach. He yelled in horror as several more demons advanced on him. They were ripping the man to shreds. In a few short moments, the man was completely devoured. All that was left was his bones.

            "Are you just going to let this happen to all these people?" Buffy questioned.

            "Yes," Grace replied, "There's nothing I can do."

            Another demon broke the door of another building down. It reached in and dragged out two screaming woman by their legs. It tossed them through the air. Two other demons caught them in their mouth. The women were eaten alive just like the man.

            As quickly as the demons entered the town, they left. They had killed everyone except for Buffy and Grace. After they were sure the demons were gone, the two climbed out of the hole. Buffy stared in shock at the destruction of the town.

            "So you people just sit around and do nothing until these demons come in a kill all of you and then you once again do nothing?" Buffy asked.

            "I'm confused," Grace replied.

            "Nevermind," Buffy said, "The point is that you don't do anything to stop this."

            "There's nothing we can do," Grace told her, "Sure we have killed a few, but there are so many of them."

            "I'm sure that there are enough of you to fight back and cause some kind of dent," Buffy said.

            "I don't think you understand the number of demons that inhabit the planet."

            "I think I do."

            "Listen to me, slayer," Grace began, "The number of demons inhabiting this planet are equivalent to the number of humans that used to. If we formed a resistance, the moment we attacked, we'd be squashed like bugs. It'd be pointless."

            Buffy stood there for a moment, taking everything in. A full scale attack would definitely be pointless. That's when she came up with a plan.

            "What if we gathered some fighters and attacked small demon cities like they do to yours?" Buffy asked.

            "What do you mean?"

            "I'm talking we pick off small areas little by little," Buffy replied, "We do small attacks instead of full scale ones."

            "That sounds like a good idea," Grace said.

            "We'll then, let's get to work."
