Rome Chapter 15, a buffy: the vampire slayer fanfic

Hey guys! Srry about the long silence. I haven't had a whole lot of time to write. And our computer got wiped. So I lost all of my files. I had another story I was writing called A Confusing Conversation, and I had about 3 chaps done. Now they're all gone. :

I was reading over some of the previous chaps in this fic and I realized several mistakes that I made that need to be corrected. First of all-this is one that really stood out to me- a couple of chapters ago I re-told you how tall Fae is, in the fic I said 5' 6". Well I got my inch and foot symbols mixed up. Fae is 6 foot 5 inches. I would go back and re-write that chap and fix it…but like I said, I lost the original chap and it would take a LONG time to re-write it the way it needs to be. LOL. I'm lazy…can't you tell?

Hugs and Spike Plushies for my reviewers. If you don't like Spike you can have a Xander plushie.

Disclaimer: I'm too lazy to come up with an idea as good as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Therefore it must belong to somebody else.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The Makings of Nightmares

Buffy stared out her window into the alley below. Dawn lay behind her on the bed.

Sitting up the teenager looked at her sister, "You love that window don't you?"

Buffy didn't turn around, "Sure Dawnie."

"You aren't even listening to me are you?"

"Of course Dawnie."

"BUFFY!"

The short blonde whirled around a stake clasped in her hand, eyes wide. "Dawn! What's wrong?"

Dawn rolled her eyes, "Nothings wrong Buffy. Other than the fact you won't pay attention to me."

It was Buffy's turn to roll her eyes. "You have a boyfriend. If you want attention go talk to him."

"Oh please. I saw you and Riley. If that's the kind of attention a boyfriend gives you I don't want one."

Buffy laughed at the disgusted look on Dawn's face. "Come on Dawnie, Willow's with Giles and Oz is probably bored to tears-not that we would ever know- and waiting for us to save him."

Dawn shook her head. "As long as he has Willow to look at I don't think he'll ever get bored."

Buffy shrugged, "Well let's go anyway. I need to get out of this apartment."

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Oz was not bored to tears. But he was very close. If Willow hadn't been there he would have made his excuses and left an hour ago.

She was helping Giles scour his books for more info on Balthazar the Imposter. It was long tedious work that only an Englishman could enjoy. And Giles was enjoying it. Digging through 'old dusty tomes' was one of his favorite past times. He had acquired a large flat for the very purpose of having room for his entire private Library.

Library was indeed the correct term for it. Three whole rooms in the apartment were filled with book shelves. And each shelf was filled to burst with books. They varied from a massive foot and a half square to a miniscule inch and a half square. He even had triangular shaped books. Willow was currently flipping through a round one.

The read head looked up from her book and glanced at Oz, "Have you found anything?"

Oz, who had not even taken his eyes off Willow in the past ten minutes, answered. "Um, no."

The girl sighed. "Giles, we've been searching for the past three hours and haven't found anything."

The elder gentlemen sighed also. "I know Willow. But I haven't the foggiest idea as where to look next."

Any further revelation Giles might have uttered was interrupted by Andrew dashing into the room and hiding behind Giles.

Giles frowned, "Andrew? What are you doing?"

"Hiding from Xander."

The older man covered his eyes with one hand, "Haven't I told you not to play Hide and Seek in my house?"

Andrew scurried under a table, "Yeah you said that. But this isn't your house. It's your apartment."

Giles rolled his eyes-something Buffy had taught him-, "Then let me correct that. Don't play games in my apartment!"

When Andrew didn't move Giles frowned, "Well? Aren't you going to leave?"

Andrew looked up at him, "But I'm not playing a game."

"OUT!"

Andrew cowered under the table, "I can't leave."

Oz stuck his head under the table, "Are you stuck?"

Andrew glared at him. "No."

Willow knelt on the floor by the table. "Than why can't you leave?"

"Because if I leave Xander will get me."

Willow sighed, "What did you do this time?"

Andrew tried to paste a hurt look on his face, "Nothing."

Oz frowned slightly, "If you didn't do anything why is he after you?"

Andrew was silent for a moment. "Um, he's crazy?"

Giles could put up with it no more. "Get out from under that table this instant you annoying little…bug."

Scowling, Andrew did as he was told.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Marissa loved the clean feeling in the Vatican City. Leading her tour group around the 'Home Town' of the Pope may not have been the most entertaining of things to do but it was the most relaxing. Holy Ground always made her wounds heal faster.

Too bad Fae didn't agree. He could use some rest. The older Werewolf avoided Holy Ground like the plague. He said it made his insides cold. Whatever that meant.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Faith walked at a brisk pace through the sewers. If she had been anyone else you could describe her pace as skipping. A smile danced across her face as she saw the wet foot prints of her quarry. Stupid vamps. You'd think they'd learn to stay out of the water.

Slowing her pace when she heard foot fall in the tunnel ahead of her, Faith crept up behind the vampire. He was distracted by something and hadn't notice her. Wrapping her arm around its neck she dragged him backwards and slammed him into a sewer wall. Whipping out a stake she dusted him.

A necklace fell to the ground with the dust. Stooping, Faith picked it up. Turning it over in her hands Faith frowned. There was a small amulet hanging on it. But the gold penny sized circle was bare. No markings of any kind.

Shrugging, Faith put it in her pocket. Giles would be interested in it.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The End. The story's over. There's no more.

JK!

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Buffy, Dawn and Faith sat on the couch in Buffy's apartment watching the movie Van Helsing.

Staring as Van Helsing cut off Mr. Hyde's arm Dawn asked, "Did they really have that kind of technology back then?"

Buffy shrugged, "I don't know. Ask Willow."

Faith shoved a hand full of popcorn in her mouth, "Willow's out with Oz."

"Oh…right."

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

XX.Flash Forward.XX

The Slayers were gathered together. All the slayers in Rome were at the Vatican City. All the Were Wolves in Rome were with them.

They were all armed to the teeth.

They were ready to do battle.

They were ready to die…

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Oooooo. I wonder what's gonna happen. Srry about the teaser. I couldn't resist. Don't worry; there are at least five more chapters to come. Now review.
