Fear

Marissa Grey stood outside the school building clutching her bag. The tall girl glanced around her anxiously, looking for something. Marissa looked down at her watch and frowned. She looked around one more time before walking toward the black firebird in the parking lot. Once she reached the car she rapped on the window. Then she opened the passenger side door and got in.

After she was in the car took off. Dawn got up from where she sat on the steps and frowned, I wonder what that was about. She shrugged, oh well, not my business. Dawn looked at her watch. Where are Andrew and Xander, they're fifteen minutes late. Dawn sighed and started walking in the direction of their apartment. Why does Xander have to be late all the time? He hardly does anything all day. He doesn't work, why should he be late.

Dawn jumped as a car pulled up beside her. The window rolled down and Xander stuck his head out. "Sorry Dawnie. I had some stuff I had to wrap up at the gym. Get in and we'll go home." Dawn rolled her eyes and got in the car, "Did you get stuck with picking up all the equipment again?" Xander gave a crooked grin, "No of course not, I just had to… yes I got stuck with cleanup." Dawn laughed, "Why didn't Andrew help you?"

"Because, if he had helped the fan club would have stayed too. And then I'd have had to deal with a bunch of giggling girls along with Andrew's whining."

"Well you would have gotten done faster and then you wouldn't have had to deal with a whole lot of giggling."

"Nah, I just decided I'd play it safe."

"Oh hey. You remember Marissa Grey?"

"Tall skinny girl, invited you into her study group?"

"Yeah, her. She was acting weird today, jumping at shadows and always looking at her watch."

"Maybe she had somewhere she needed to go."

"That's what I thought, but she didn't leave right after school. She just hung around and looked at her watch."

"Maybe she was waiting for her ride."

"No. She got into a car that had been sitting in the parking lot all day."

"Maybe she was supposed to give some one a ride and they didn't show."

Dawn shook her head, "I don't think that's it."

"We're here."

Dawn got out of the car and headed up the stairs to Xander's apartment. She hurried into the living room and dumped her books on the floor. Andrew stepped out of the kitchen wearing and apron and oven mitts. "Oh, hey Dawn. Have a good day at school?" Dawn looked at Andrew, "Yeah, it was okay, I guess." Andrew nodded and walked back into the kitchen. Dawn looked over at Xander, "What is he doing in there?"

"Cooking I guess. He didn't like mine, so I told him he could cook the meals."

"That was risky. You could have been eating take-out food for the rest of your life."

Xander shrugged, "It would have been a good break." Dawn stared at him. He gave a sheepish grin. "I was starting to dislike my cooking too." Andrew stuck his head out of the kitchen, "Duh! Canned soup and hamburgers, breakfast, lunch, and dinner." He wrinkled his nose, "Gross." Dawn laughed as Xander launched himself at Andrew and the two of them collapsed in a heap.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Marissa got out of the car and waved goodbye to the driver. She then turned around and walked up an alley. She froze halfway through and glanced around warily. There was a crash from behind her and she whorled around. A vampire stood there, beside the trashcan he had knocked over. Marissa Stared at him, and then looked at her watch, it was only five O' clock. The sun didn't set for another hour at least. The vampire smiled at her confusion and stepped forward. Marissa raised and eyebrow, "You guys are getting bolder aren't you?" The vamp stopped, his turn to be confused, "I don't know you do I?" Marissa grinned, "You know me, you just don't recognize me yet."

Marissa's grin turned predatory and her face lengthened. The vamp watched in surprise as Marissa turned into a wolf. Now the vamp was really confused, what's going on here? She must be some kinda witch or something to turn into a wolf. But she said I know her, and I don't know any witches. The vamp stepped back and started to circle the wolf warily. Full moon's not till next week and besides, it's daytime. She also doesn't look like a werewolf. Just a plain old wolf, like they have in the zoo. The gray wolf turned yellow eyes to the vampire and snarled. "Still don't recognize me?" The vamp gave one horrified whimper before he was silenced forever.

Marissa stood up and shook the dust from her jacket, why do they always make such a mess? She sighed and started back up the alley. "That was very foolish." Marissa stopped and rolled her eyes, "I'm sorry if I have offended you by my methods of extermination." A man stepped out of the shadows, "I'm not offended, just annoyed." Marissa kicked at a piece of trash and scowled, "My apologies." Then she murmured almost as an after thought, "I was just trying to put the fear of the wolf in them."

The man sighed and put his hands in the pockets of his duster, "The pack has put so much fear in them that they hardly hunt at night anymore. In the past five months more vamps have died from starvation than from staking. What more do you want?" Marissa balled her hands into fists, "I want them to leave. I want them to leave this world, this plane of existence, and never come back." The man's blue eyes glared at her, "Stupid." Marissa stared at him, mouth open in shock. "Why do you wish the vampires gone? I know they are irritating and they hurt innocents, but what do you think will happen if they leave? What will come in their place? Something much more fearful than vampires, I can tell you that. The old ones might even come back. So do not wish for their extermination, that may come soon enough."

"What? How?"

He snorted, "The slayers. That fool witch made all potentials, into slayers. She should have reversed it after the battle. Now there are thousands of them. The age of the vampire is ending, and the age of Death beginning. The slayers will die out once the vampires are gone, and we will fight alone. Against the worst sorts of demons you can ever imagine."

Marissa gaped at him in horror, "Is there any thing we can do?"

"No." he turned and walked back into the shadows, disappearing.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Marissa trudged onward to her house, thinking about what he had said. More demons? Worse demons? He must mean the purebreds, the untainted. Ubervamps, and other horrors. No wait, no ubervamps, he said the age of the vampire was ending. Marissa shivered when she thought about the rest of that prophecy. The age of Death. What is that? Are Zombies going to take over the world? Marissa snorted at the thought. I better let the others know what's going on.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Buffy stared at the punching bag. Normally she'd be punching it but there was a little problem. That problem being the fact that it was on the floor. On the other side of the room. What on earth? Buffy looked around the room at all the people staring at her. Xander was the first to speak, "Buffy, what did you do?" She stared back at him, "I don't know. All I did is punch it." Xander looked at her in disbelief, "Are you sure that's all you did?" Buffy nodded, "I'm sure." Giles put down the pads (Get ur minds out of the gutter) he had been holding for Faith and shrugged. "Perhaps the chain was weak, and it snapped." Xander snorted, "Well, even if it wasn't weak it still snapped."

"Perhaps all of your frustrations over the dreams caused you to strike out harder than usual."

"I dunno, Jeeves. B's been beating up on that bag all week, I think the chain just snapped from stress."

"Yeah, Buffy's stress."

"Very funny Xander. Maybe you should take a break Buffy, go for a walk?" Giles asked looking concerned.

Buffy nodded. She sure felt like she needed a break. All of them did. They had been having the dream every night for the past week and every one was getting sick of it. Andrew was starting to have nightmares about having nightmares. Or at least that's what he said. She pulled on her jacket and walked off down one of the side streets. She couldn't understand what was going on. They're like prophetic dreams but Giles can't find any reason for us to be having them. Buffy sighed and sat down on a park bench. We have got to figure this out.
