Chris orbed them into the middle of the room causing all the demons to turn and look.

"Witches!" one of them yelled causing many of them to flee.

"Nope," Buffy said spotting a vampire on her left and quickly staking it. "Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way, I personally prefer the hard way." She paused throwing the demon about to attack across the room.

"Slayer!" the demon exclaimed.

"Yup, now. I want to know why....." She began as a demon threw an energy ball at her. "What the hell was that!" She screamed trying to doge it.

"Energy ball, watch out for them." Chris replied telekineticly throwing the demon against the wall.

"Hey how'd you do that. You've been holding out on me magic Boy." she accused as she dodged another energy ball pulled a knife out of her boot and threw it al the demon. She turned as Vampire lunged at her tackling her to the ground. She quickly threw him off her leaping to her feet. She glanced over at Chris, "Here catch!" She yelled throwing him the knife. She pulled one of the legs off a chair using it to stake the vampire. The fight continued and after they killed a few more demons and vampires the remaining ones fled.

"Well not that it wasn't fun and all but, wasn't the point to gather information?' Chris asked walking over to Buffy.

"We will." She said scanning the room.

"In case you haven't noticed they all left, or we killed them." He replied.

"Nope, not all." She announced jumping over the bar.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"This is who we wanted to talk to." She said pinning the bartender, who had ben hiding behind the bar during the fight, up against the wall. "We just had to get rid of his clientele."

"Ok, I'm not following you" Chris replied.

"You see," She began. "The owners of these places are usually low level demons who aren't very powerful, or but they do tend to overhear loads of useful info."

"And you couldn't have explained this earlier because..." He asked.

"Now what would be the fun in that?" She laughed. Turning to the trembling bartender. "What do you know about the recent growth in vamp population." She demanded.

Back at the Manor:

"Shouldn't they be back?" Piper asked.

"I'm sure their fine" Phoebe reassured her.

"So what do you guts think of Buffy?" Paige asked.

"She seems so sad." Piper answered.

"Well you would too if you had to kill your boyfriend. I mean I know how I felt after we vanquished Cole but, at least I had you guys she's had to deal with it all on her own." Phoebe replied.

"Maybe you should try to talk to her." Paige began."I mean you know what it's like to...."

"I'm not sure that's a good Idea." Piper cut in.

"What do you mean?" Phoebe asked.

"It's just, She ran away from her friends to avoid dealing with it, if you push her to much she may do it again and we need her right now." Piper replied.

"So we should just ignore the fact that she's in pain?" Paige demanded.

"No," Piper began. "If Phoebe wants to talk to her she can but, all I'm saying is don't force her into it if she doesn't want to."

"Yeah I guess your right. But, she really needs to talk to someone." Paige replied.

"I think she may have already." Phoebe said thinking.

"What do you mean?" Piper asked.

"Well, I can't get an empathic read off her, but I think she'd hiding something." Phoebe began. "Plus the way she told Chris she had to tell her watcher 'the truth'. I think something happened that she's not telling anyone, I'm not even sure Leo or the other elders know?"

"Maybe it's like when you lied to Prue and I about vanquishing Cole." Piper said.

"No, from what leo said if she hadn't killed him the world would have ended, literally." Paige replied.

"Well anyways, I like her, and you should have seen her fight last night." Phoebe said.

"Yeah, The vampire slammed her into a headstone and she got up like it was nothing." Paige added.

"Ok I'm really starting to worry now, they should be back." Piper Began. "Finally." She said as she saw them orb in.

"Hey guys." Chris said noticing them all waiting.

"Don't you hey me, what the hell took so long! Paige said you left four hours ago." Piper demanded.

"Calm down I brought him home in one piece just like I said." Buffy defended.

"Mom," Chris began as Piper checked him for injuries. "I'm fine."

"Is she always like this." Buffy asked.

"Yes." Chris replied grinning. "Actually it gets worse in the future."

"I knew you were a mama's boy." Buffy teased.

"Am not." Chris said moving away from Piper who turned to check Buffy for injuries.

"Hey, don't worry about me I'm fine." Buffy said as piper grabbed her arm.

"Fine, I don't think so. What happened to your arm?" She asked concerned.

"Oh that." Buffy said glancing at the wound. "Don't worry just a flesh wound, from one of those energy things."

"Energy Balls." Chris informed her.

"Yah those." Buffy replied. "Any way I blame him. He didn't tell me about demons throwing them at me."

"My fault," Chris said confused. "You're the slayer, your supposed to be a demon expert."

"No, I wouldn't call it being a demon expert more like see demon, kill demon kinda gig." Buffy laughed. "Anyway you don't have to worry about Magic boy he's pretty useful in a fight, especially with that whole waving your hand and sending the demon flying thing."

"Chris you're a telepath?" Paige asked surprised.

"Cool." Phoebe added.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Piper asked.

"Because," Chris said glaring at Buffy. "I can't let you know too much about the future."

"Oh come on show us." Phoebe asked excitedly.

"Why, it's not like you haven't seen it done before." He replied.

"We haven't seen you do it." Paige countered.

"Please." Piper begged.

"Fine." He gave in moving the coffee table across the room.

"That's great." Phoebe said. "Do you have any other powers."

"Yes." Chris replied.

"Well go on show us." Paige said.

"No, You guys use magic every day stop acting like you've never seen it. I feel like I'm in some kind of side show." Chris replied.

"I can see it now. Come one, come all and see the amazing Magic Boy." Buffy teased.

"Shut up." Chris replied. "And will you stop calling me magic boy."

"Nope." She answered.

"Why not." He asked.

"Basically because it annoys you." She laughed.

"I don't get it, He's half whitelighter why doesn't his power work like mine?" Paige asked. Chris Shrugged in response.

"How does your power work?" Buffy asked.

"Candle." Paige called. Buffy watched as a candle orbed of the mantle into Paige's hand.

"Cool, what can the rest of you do?" She asked.

"I have premonitions, can levitate and, am an empath. That basically means I feel what other people are feeling." Phoebe said levitating up and then floating back down.

"So you can feel what I'm feeling right now?" Buffy asked.

"No actually, It's strange I can't get a read off you." Phoebe said.

"I guess it's part of the slayer package." Buffy replied looking relived.

"And I Can freeze things but, not good witches, and blow things up." Piper added.

"Really that's so cool. Do you think you can freeze me, I mean I'm good but, not a witch." Buffy replied.

"I don't know I'll try." piper said throwing out her hands.

"Nothing's happening." Buffy said disappointed.

"Guess your immune too." Piper replied.

"So what about you?" Paige asked.

"Well I just have super strength, speed, reflexes, and healing." Buffy replied. "Also I can sense when Vamps are around."

"So did you guys find out anything?" Paige asked bringing the conversation back to their problem.

"Yeah, from what we found out the vampires are working with demons. Which is weird." Buffy began.

"Why is that weird, evil tends to work together." Phoebe interrupted.

"Yeah but, most demons view vamps as a lower form, because of the whole needing a human body thing." Buffy replied.

"What do you mean?" Piper asked.

"Well you see to make a vampire another one has to bite you then you have to bite it, it's a whole gross blood sharing thing, anyway after you die a demon comes and takes over your body. You have all your memories and everything but, the demon basically takes over." Buffy explained.

"Ok, so why are the demons working with them now?" Paige asked.

"Well there being pretty tight lipped about the whole thing but, it seems there looking for some amulet that's rumored to have been buried around here somewhere." Buffy began. "That's all we found out, what about you guys."

"Darryl said there's been a rise in murders where the victim only has two stab wounds on their neck, their attributing it to some gang." Phoebe replied.

"From what Paige and I found the greatest mystical energy around here is the nexus and, we live on it so I don't think that's it." Piper added.

"Ok, you guys should start looking for any amulets rumored to be around here." Buffy replied.

"Sounds like a plan. Chris you wana orb me back to Magic school." Piper asked.

"Sure mom." He said orbing them out.

"So what's the plan for tonight?" Paige asked.

"Well." Buffy began looking at her watch. "It's about a hour till sundown, we can do some more research and then I'll head out to patrol later." Buffy replied.

"You mind if I tag along?" Phoebe asked.

"Alright if you want." Buffy replied. "we should check the papers for any funerals today, you know the kind where the victims had puncture wounds on their necks."

"Do they always turn their victims into vampires?" Paige asked.

"No, usually they just kill them. But it seems like their trying to raise their numbers around here for something so it's better to get them while their new. Older Vampires are harder to kill, they're stronger and smarter. Newbie are just looking for a meal usually and are easy to dust." Buffy explained.

"Hey I found a cemetery that had three burial today all the bodies had puncture wounds on their neck." Phoebe announced looking up from the paper.

"How far away is it?" Buffy asked.

"About twenty minutes, more with traffic." Phoebe answered.

"Ok, I'm gona grab some weapons and we'll head out, better to be early than late." She replied.
