The next morning in Forks was as dull as the night before. This was a huge comfort to me. Dawn on the other hand....well not so much. She liked the sun. It wasn't helping her mood much for the first day of a new school she was still going though no matter how much she complained.
"Buffy I really don't want to do this, what's the point?" she asked, eyes pleading with me.
"Because I'm taking care of you for mom, what would she say if you weren't in school?"
At the mention of Mom she shut up and got out of the car. She just smiled and waved goodbye.
I was about to drive off when a familiar tingle went down my spine. I looked over to the other side of the car park. Vampires in the daylight? There had to be something wrong with my slayer senses. I guess emotional stress could do that. But I always went with my gut instinct. Giles was bound to know something. I would have driven off but the intensity of the boys eyes kept me rooted to the spot. He wasn't just looking at me it was like his eyes were boring into my soul.
Edward looked over at the woman in the car. She was eyeing him warily. He was looking at her in the same way. He'd heard her thought. "Vampire" it rang out louder than every other thought around him.
"Are you ok?" Alice asked "you seem a little spaced out"
"That woman over there knows" he replied simply.
Alice followed his eye line to see where he was looking. She curiously watched the blonde girl with the California tan. She was defiantly new around here and Alice hadn't picked up on anything coming.
"I didn't see anyone new arriving" she said sounding surprised.
"I know which worries me, we should talk to Carlisle" he said without breaking eye contact.
Buffy headed straight back to the house rushing inside.
"Can vampires walk around in the day?" she asked, rushing so quickly to get to Giles she nearly knocked him over.
"I guess in a sense if there's no direct sunlight"
"But would they just be acting like normal kids and not on a wild killing spree?"
"Erm well no vampires tend to go on instinct and kill unless they're some of the few tactical ones like Angelus and Spike."
"I sensed some vampires at Dawns school today"
"This is all a little unusual Buffy, maybe its stress are you sure of what you saw?" Giles asked rubbing his glasses.
Buffy stopped for a moment and thought about it. She had already wondered that herself. Maybe Giles was right. But she wouldn't be at ease until she investigated it. She would defiantly go on a patrol and get a good feel for Forks. So much for a break from monsters.
