Thanks again for all the reviews and Sorry for the typo your right it is Acathla not athica, Sorry.
She was relived Giles seemed to understand even if that had meant telling him the whole truth. She knew she shouldn't have left the way she did but, then again there's not really a set of rules for dealing with killing your boyfriend, then again maybe there is she thought. It wouldn't be the strangest thing she'd encountered. She slowly walked back into the kitchen.
"Is everything Ok." Chris asked concerned seeing she'd been crying.
"Yeah, I had to tell him the truth but, he understands now. The new slayer showed up so I can stick around for a while." She replied.
"I'm glad it worked out." He said smiling.
"Oh yeah, I forgot the good news." She exclaimed happily.
"What?" Paige asked.
"I'm not wanted for murder anymore." She replied.
"That's always good." Piper said confused.
"Well I spoke to the other elders last night and they agree that it's a good idea for Buffy to hang around here for a while. If nothing else to at least look into the vampire problem that's growing here." Leo informed them.
"And tell me again why I should care what the oh so powerful that they just sit up there on there asses while everyone else does the crappy work, elders think?" Buffy replied causing Chris to burst into laughter.
"She really doesn't like you." Piper commented.
"Anyway," Phoebe began hoping to put a stop to the issue before it turned violent again. "Since there is nothing really about Vampires in the book we're gona take your lead on this one."
"Ok, first thing to do is find out about the vamp from last night, see if anyone else has been mysteriously dying from puncture wounds." Buffy began.
"I'll go see Darryl. He's a cop, he know's about us and helps us out." Phoebe explained.
"Good, then someone else needs to find somewhere that has a lot of books on demons and such and research any mystical reasons for vampires to start showing up around here. I mean they are pretty much all over but, if they seem to congregate somewhere it usually isn't good." Buffy replied.
"Well, Actually I can do some of that back at magic school." Piper offered.
"And I'll look for other resources around here, surf the net, check out the library, and anywhere else I can think of." Paige added.
"Great then we all have something to do." Buffy replied.
"Hey what about me?" Chris asked.
"You magic boy." Buffy laughed. "Get to tag along with me."
"And where are you two going?" Piper asked.
"Strait to the source, so to speak. The best place to find the info on the new big bad, from the rest of them." Buffy replied.
"Your just gona go out looking for demons?" Paige asked.
"Nope, I already know where to look." She replied grinning.
"I'm not sure if I want to know, but where is that." Phoebe asked.
"Demon bars." Buffy replied.
"And you just expect them to tell you what you want to know?" Leo asked.
"No, in fact I hope they don't. It's not really fun unless you get to beat it out of them." She laughed.
"That can't be safe." Piper began concerned.
"Don't worry, I'll protect your little boy." She laughed.
"Ha ha." Chris replied sarcastically. "You do know I'm older than you."
"Actually if you want to get technical, I'm about Sixteen years older than you." Buffy countered.
"Anyways, I need to pick some stuff I left at the motel I'm staying at."
"About that, Your more than welcome to stay here. Since we'll be working together it'll be easier." Phoebe offered.
"And there the fact that demons tend to attack us here regularly." Paige added.
"Who can say no to an offer like that?" Buffy replied.
"I'll orb over and grab your stuff, and Piper and Phoebe can show you around the house." Paige offered.
"Ok, Here." She threw Paige her room key. "Just leave that in the room. All my stuff should be in the duffle bag in the closet."
"So let me show you your room." Piper said after Paige orbed out.
"That's my room, Paige is next door and Piper's is down at the end." Phoebe gestured to the doors. "This one will be yours." She stopped in front of the guest room.
"Bathrooms the last door at the end of the hall." Piper added opening the hall closet. "Here's some clean towels, if you need anything else just ask."
"Got your stuff." Paige said orbing in.
"Thanks." Buffy replied.
"I gotta get to work." Phoebe said glancing at her watch. "I'll see you guys later."
"Yeah I should probably get Leo to take me back to magic school." Piper said following Phoebe downstairs.
"Ok, I'll be downstairs with Chris starting the research. You need anything else?" Paige asked.
"No, I'm just going to take a quick shower and I'll be down." Buffy replied.
"Take your time." Paige said heading downstairs.
½ an hour later when Buffy walked downstairs dressed in a black tank top and jeans. Paige almost laughed at Chris's expression. She looked much better after her shower and the fact that her clothes were no longer about two sizes to big for her.
"How's the research coming?" Buffy asked taking a seat next to Paige.
"Well, I figured I start by looking for any mystical power, like the hell mouth, to see if that's what is drawing them here but so far no luck." Paige replied.
"Ready to go start a bar fight?" Buffy asked Laughing.
"Sounds like fun." Chris replied.
"Are you sure it's a good Idea?" Paige asked concerned.
"Yeah don't worry I do this a lot. Plus I have Magic boy, he can orb us out if it gets bad." Buffy replied.
"Ok, just be careful." Paige asked.
"We will." Buffy said grabbing Chris's hand. "Beam me up Scotty."
"You are strange." Chris laughed.
"Oh and your so normal?" She replied.
"You got me there." He said orbing them out.
