Chapter 5- 6
Buffy was walking home when something knocked her out. Buffy's eyes were blurry when she woke up. Where am I? She thought as she looked around. She was laying on a hard, cold floor, but when she tried to stand she fell down dizzy.
She reached up to touched her burning neck, feeling something wet she pulled her hand back. Looking at her hand she discovered her own blood. Shit. Fighting the urge to panic, Buffy stood up slowly with the help of the near by wall.
Now in a somewhat steady standing position Buffy took in her surroundings trying to find the best means of escape. The room was huge. The floor she'd been lying on was black marble with veins of red running through it.
The red seemed to move with life giving it look of free flowing blood. Heavy looking blood red velvet drapes covered the windows that were wider than two of her arm spans and, seemingly, six times taller tan her 5'2 frame.
There was an enormous, intricately carved, stone fireplace burning at the opposite end of the room with gargoyles, grinning ghoulishly with ivory fangs, carved into the mantle.
The room smelled like vanilla and cinnamon and charred wood. Where am I? She wondered again. Buffy was startled when a rich, silky voice answered her unasked question. "You're in my home."
Buffy looked around for who the voice belonged to, not seeing anyone. "I'm sorry- I didn't know, so if you don't mind I'll be leaving now." Buffy bit back a scream of surprise when the person the voice belonged to stood right in front of her. He was a tall one, subtly built, more wiry, and limber. He had medium length curly, blue-black hair, onyx eyes, and olive skin.
Vampire Buffy thought immediately. "I do mind" the vampire said holding Buffy in his arms. "What do you want with me?" Buffy asked a little worried because the blood loss couldn't keep her standing, yet alone fight a vamp at full stregth. "What I want," the vampire seemed to ponder the question then gave Buffy a grin that could put the stone gargoyles to shame. "To kill you of course."
Buffy's stomach dropped, but she didn't struggle. "How do you plan on doing that?" Buffy asked her anger growing as she gathered her sapping energy to fight. The vampire laughed and looked at her. "Oh little one, how little you know. I might want to keep you, " Buffy interrupted him "Are you like a fan of Dracula, because I heard the same crap from him years ago. Right before I kicked his ass." The last word coming out as a hiss as she tried to pull out of his vice like grip. A wave of dizziness caused her legs to nearly gave out. "Oh good one Buff, I wouldn't try that again if I where you, the blood loss will go to your head. Again."
Buffy gave it another go, she kicked out knocking them both to the floor. Stake. Stake, I need a stake. Buffy thought frantically, as she struggled to get to her feet. By the time Buffy gotten to her feet the vampire was laughing and coming toward her.
Buffy kicked out flipping the vamp to the ground again, but before she could blink she was pinned under him. No. Buffy's head screamed, but it was no use she couldn't move. Buffy's eyes filled as she felt the stake she always carried digging into her back. Looking into her killers eyes, She thought of those she loved, and hoped they knew she loved them.
The vampire smiled moving a few strands of hair out her face whipping a single fallen tear. "Hush now love. I wasn't sure I would keep you when I saw you in Italy, but now," The vamp trailed off and Buffy's eyes widened at the realization dawned on her. He wasn't going to kill her. He was going to turn her.
No. No anything but that. Her mind begged. "No" Buffy said as more tears fell down her cheeks. The vampire swooped down to her neck and licked it making Buffy cringe. "It only hurts for a moment." With that he bit down causing Buffy to gasp in pain, then blackout.
Knowing that he had moments before Buffy's heart completely stopped her cut open his arm and forced blood down her throat.
Before long Buffy's eyes snapped open as she gripped his arm looking him straight in the eyes. He watched as her eyes slowly turned red as she drank. Soon he began to feel light headed, and ripped his arm away from her. Buffy convulsed on the floor for a few minutes before her whole body went slack. The vampire pulled himself from the floor and went to get some blood; it would be a while before she'd wake up. Or so he thought.
As soon as he left the room Buffy's eyes shot open, she sat up and looked around, not quite remembering why should be so pissed at her sire. But she would find out. Buffy smiled and slipped her hand in the waistband of her pants and produced the forgotten stake. This is gonna be fun Buffy thought, her eyes glowing red.
The vampire walked back into the room, stopping in his tracks when he didn't see Buffy were he'd left her. "Where'd you go?" He said standing in the middle of the room. "Right behind you love." Buffy mocked slamming her 'sire' into a wall. Letting him drop to the floor Buffy stepped back and watched her 'sire' scramble into a sitting position.
"Your up Buff, good. Come there's so much I'll have to teach you, your purpose" The vampire said holding out his hand thinking she was hungry. Buffy smiled flexing her aura causing her 'sire' to shrink further into the wall, retracting his offered hand.
"Ya know, I just don't see that happening" Buffy said. "Oh? You think so?." Buffy smiled again, and before the vampire could blink Buffy had him by the throat dangling two feet off the ground.
"Oh I know so, cuz from the looks of it," Buffy brought him down closer to her face "I'm much more powerful then you are." Buffy mocked in a child's voice. Buffy through her 'sire' across the room into another wall. Laughing Buffy pinned him again. "Now, if you wanna remain in one piece you'll tell me everything I want to know, understand?"
The vampire shook his head. Buffy released him. "Good now we'll start with something easy. Buffy said kneeling in front of him. "What's your name sire?" "Leonardo" he replied. "Who was I?" "Slayer" "Well Leo, if you knew what I was why'd you change me?" Buffy saw the punch coming and broke his arm in mid air. Leo screamed.
Buffy applied pressure to the arm, causing Leo to whimper. "Now I'll ask once again. Why?" "Because you are the prophesied one. The chosen, who in the light of good will help bring about the beginning of the end of evil; But in the shadow of the dark will bring both demon and man alike to their knees."
Buffy got a dreamy look on her face. "The world I once protected on its knees quivering before me, I like the sound of that" Buffy said smiling down at Leo. Buffy's eyes slowly turned red as she vamped out. Leo shook in fear at the power coming off her.
Buffy ripped Leo's head to the side and bite down. Leo moaned. Buffy stopped drinking, leaving a tiny trail of blood at the corner of her mouth. Looking at him Buffy asked. "How'd you do it?" Now it was Leo who smiled. "This has plan to change you has been in motion ever since the Hellmouth was close in Sunnydale.
The old ones did magic to put the blood of the vampire who marked you in me. Angelus's blood is that of a master, that's why I let up feed for so long. The more blood a human gets during transformation the more powerful they become. The amount of blood you were given mixed with the slayers blood you had in your veins before, makes you the most powerful vampire in the history of the world; more purely vampire than any that walk now.
It also makes you the first successfully turned slayer. We've tried before and failed, the others were never marked before. You are the product of our efforts. It is written that a simple stake cannot kill you, nor can fire, Holy water, or crosses. That you can go into the sun and go weeks without blood."
"It is written huh?" Buffy smiled at all the thoughts she was getting. Won't Angel be surprised to see me now? Buffy thought. Leo's last words brought her out of her thoughts. "Now it's up to me to teach you everything," Buffy's laugh interrupted him.
"You aren't gonna teach me shit I haven't already learn from being a slayer or around Angelus, sorry you're not needed anymore." Buffy mocked as she shoved the stake from earlier in to his heart.
Leo looked at her in shock before he crumbled to dust. Buffy got up whipping herself off and walked out the door. Before she left Buffy looked over her shoulder, "You forgot the first rule sire, never trust a vampire." She mocked. Buffy walked down the dark street smiling as the house in back of her blew up. This is gonna be more fun then I thought.
The AI team watched in horror at the screen as Buffy mutilated, mimed, tortured, and killed anything in her path. No matter if it was human or demon. She killed. She killed for pleasure, the thrill of the hunt; the fun of the kill. Angel watched with tears in his eyes, as his Buffy cased pain and loved every minute of it; reminding him of his alter ego.
Buffy was doing things to her victims that would make the great Scrooge Of Europe himself cringe. Then it all stopped.
Buffy was walking the streets of L.A. killing off random people. Buffy entered an alley, stalking her pray and was about to go in for the kill when the dark sky roared in fury and soaked the ground with tears. Buffy fell to her knees. Her whole body glowing hot white, Buffy screamed then blacked out.
The screen went black, then disappeared leaving the AI team to silence. All eyes turned to Angel, who was sitting in a chair holding the bridge of his nose. Wesley was the first to speak. "Angel, are you ok?" When Angel didn't answer Gunn spoke up. "Damn man that chick had a lot of power for her size." pointing to Buffy. "More than I've ever seen or ever want to see." Angel got up and walked over to Buffy's still sleeping form. Fred walked over to the sleeping women. "What do we do now? Do we wake her up or," Fred asked looking at everyone, waiting for an answer.
"Or what Fred stake her?" Angel yelled at Fred who jumped back scared. Wes moved in to defend her "She has a point Angel, more then likely when Buffy wakes up she's going to remember everything she did. Do you think she, being what she once was, can live with doing what she has?" Wes demanded gripping Angel's arm. "I'll help her deal. I'll help her," Wes made a discussed noise and paced away, then back. "What Angel? Help her regain redemption? What happens when you Shansu? Then what? Do you think she'll stay?" "The prophesy doesn't say which vampire with a soul, Wes." Angel mumbled weakly.
"Angel man, I know this is your girl and everything, but we don't even know how or why her soul was given back or if it's gonna stay. What if she can't take it and her soul leaves again? Would you be able to stake her?" Gunn asked. Angel looked at Fred, Wes, and Gunn. Could he?
"Fred wake her up."He said suddenly "But I don't think," Fred stammered. "Just do it," Angel said quietly. " I'll deal with everything when it comes." Fred did what she was told. Gunn, Fred, and Wes jumped back as Buffy's eyes snapped open. Buffy stood up slowly looking around at everyone warily.
"Hey guys did it," Buffy fell to the floor as a wave of memories hit her. They kept crashing into her. One wave after another unrelenting, causing her to scream in agony. "No stop, please." Buffy half sobbed, half screamed at the victims begging and screaming for mercy. Buffy looked up at Angel tears flooding her face. "What have I done?" Buffy whispered hoarsely.
Angel walked over to Buffy only to have her jump back. "No, don't come near me. Don't touch me!" Buffy screamed running out of the Lab. "Buffy wait." Angel's frantic call echoed, unheard, after her.
Chapter 6
Angel had everyone one practically tearing Wolfram n Heart to shambles looking for her.
"Angel we've looked everywhere, twice, for over an hour and still nothing. She's not here man." Angel looked at him. "Then round up Spike, Wes, and Loran and hit the streets." "What about Fred?" He asked.
"Have her stay here in case she comes back looking for me." Angel through over his shoulder "Hey, where you goin' man?" "I'm gonna go find her. If you find her leave her alone and call me." Gunn was about to question, but when he looked up Angel was gone.
Buffy had ran out of the building, and kept running until she hit sand and fell off balance to the sandy ground. Taking a few unneeded breaths to steady her un-beating heart, Buffy looked up at the waves.
Even in the dark she could see the black wave's crash against the shore. Standing up, Buffy started walking across the beach not even bothering to brush off the sand from her clothes. Buffy kept walking like a child in shock after they find out their parents aren't coming home anymore.
Catch me as I fall, Say you're here and it's all over now.
Speaking to the atmosphere, No one's here and I fall into myself.
This truth drives me into madness, I know I can stop the pain.
(If I will it all away)
Angel was scoring L.A. from the roof tops frantically looking for Buffy. Every minute they didn't find her the more time it gave her to, No can't think like that. I'll find her, save her. Angel kept saying in his head.
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)
Buffy kept walking lost in thought, when she ran into something. Looking up she found herself surrounded by three demons. The Leader of the demons said something, but whatever he said fell upon def ears.
Buffy tried to move around him, but he grabbed her and threw her to the waiting arms of one of the other demons. Buffy kicked backwards smashing her foot through her captor's ribs causing him to fall to the ground dead.
The other 2 demons roared in fury and attack her from both sides. Buffy jumped over them, causing them to slam heads and fall. The leader regained his feet quickly, grabbing for Buffy again. Buffy Punched him in the face then did a round house kick to the side of his head, knocking him to the ground unconscious.
Buffy didn't see the third one coming until she had a piece of draft wood imbedded in her chest; Buffy screamed in fury as she ripped it out and shoved it through the demons heart. Pausing her brain calculated the situation: three demons, no sign of life. Dead.
Buffy started off again. Stopping when she reached a cliff with a 150ft drop, that ended in jagged rocks and raging waves.
I'm frightened by what I see,
but somehow I know that there's much more to come.
Immobilized by my fear,
and soon to be blinded by tears.
I can stop the pain
if I will it all away Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)
Sitting down on the edge, Buffy looked down at her healing wound. It's true, I can't die Buffy's thoughts echoed as tears welled up in her eyes again. Curling into a ball Buffy let the tears fall freely down her face. Give in to me. Why fight, look at what we've done. Angel will never look at you again. Her demon mocked, making the tears fall faster.
Fallen angels at my feet,
Whispered voices at my ear.
Death before my eyes,
lying next to me I fear.
She beckons me,
Shall I give in.
Upon my end shall I begin?
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet my end
Angel stopped as a rush of emotions filled him. Buffy. Angel closed his eyes and ran were his heart was taking him. Hold on Buffy, I'm coming. Angel thought as he ran.
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)
Angel stopped running and opened his eyes to a breath taking view of the raging ocean.. Looking down he found Buffy on the edge of the cliff passed out. Gently picking her up, he noticed the dried blood. Oh my love, Angel thought as he walked back to Wolfram n' heart.
The gang spotted him as he came through the doors, they had given up hope hours earlier, and started to raise when they saw Buffy in his arms. Angel gave them a look telling them not to ask, so they didn't. He walked passed them, then paused turning to the gang he said "It's been a rough night go home get some sleep. Before you ask Wes I sent Fred home earlier."
"Well peaches, what you planning to do now?" Spike asked concern coloring his voice. "It's none of your concern Spike go home, will all talk tomorrow" With that said Angel continued up to his room where he laid Buffy gently on his bed for the second time.
