Chapter 9 The Slayer

January 31, 2004

Buffy, alone in the living room just decided to relax on the couch.

"Buffy?" asked Andrew coming back into the room.

"What is it Andrew?" Buffy asked seeing he is doing that certain facial expression when he has something to tell.

"Remember when I just said nothing much happened over in LA?"

"Yeah." Buffy had a curious look on her face over where Andrew was going with this. I mean he barely knows anything about Angel and Buffy's past so why else would he bring up LA in that tone, unless something happened to Angel.

"Well, I may have cut one huge important piece." Andrew replied getting behind a chair just incase.

"What is it Andrew?" There was now a tone in Buffy's voice, and Andrew became slightly terrified. She was worried but slightly agitated that Andrew would keep something from her.

"Ok, I'm just going to try hard to say this fast. Um, Spike came back from the dead, it turns out he actually didn't die, the amulet just sucked him inside and he was let out…well first sent to Angel in an envelope actually and then was let out, once he opened it, by accident. And…"

"What!?" Buffy sternly said standing up from the couch. Hopeing Andrew was just telling her a sick joke and if so she was going to make sure he never joked with her like that again.

"Buffy, calm down…this should be exciting, something, um very exciting." Andrew was saying taking a breather through words while walking slowly away from her. "Buffy you're scaring me with your slayer killing eyes again." Buffy suddenly wiped the anger off her face when she realized he was telling the truth. She sat down in agony. "Buffy?"

"I left him. I left him down there." She began to say with a few tears rolling down. "I left my…Spike, I left him. What kind of person am I to leave him down there, after all he's done?"

"Buffy, it's ok." Andrew said, coming over to calm her down. "You didn't know."

"Why didn't he contact me?" She suddenly became angry again. "I mean that's not like him. He was almost my personal stalker, I mean he smelt me out one time. Are you sure it was Spike?"

"I'm pretty sure. It's not everyday you see a handsome blonde vampire demon with a soul and a british accent." Andrew looked at Buffy. "I mean, yea I it was definitely Spike."

"What is he doing? Is he fine? Ok?" She asked worried.

"He's working on the other side, not with Angel, actually doing what Angel used to, saving people, you know being a--"

"Champion." She replied with a calm smile.

"Yeah." Andrew just sat next to Buffy comforting her as she laid her head her hands.

It's been two months since G's incident at his new place, and although he is not part of the group he still comes to help at times. Both Spike and Angel try to warn G about using to much of his power even mentioning a few times about what happened to a friend of there's, Willow. Spike calling her Red. But he ignores them and says he knows how to be careful and watch what and how he uses his magic.

"I knew you guy's were up here." G said coming from behind after flying up onto the roof. There stood Angel and Spike looking down at a crime scene near by. "What's going on?" He asked.

"Another murder." Angel said.

"Demon related?" G asked.

"No." Spike answered.

"Then why are we here?" G asked, bouncing a tennis ball he popped out of thin air. "I thought we only go after Demons."

"There's no we!" Angel said sharply. He began to walk away. Spike smacked G on the back of the head.

"Owe! What!?"

"Show some respect." Spike answered, pointing down at the dead body.

"What? Did Angel know the victim?" G asked feeling a bit bad.

"What!? No." Spike rolled his eyes, and followed Angel.

"Hey Angel, what ever I said to make you--" G began to say.

"Shh." Angel heard a noise, a girl screaming, from a distant alley. The three quickly began to run towards the noise.

"Help!, Help! Please some one Help!" A young blonde girl shouted while running with tears in her eyes. The girl was grabbed by someone, and pushed to the side. "Please help me, there's these two creatures after me." said the girl still scared to death.

"It's ok." said a kind young voice. The two creatures came running from behind. And a young brunette girl ran out from the shadows, and began to fight with them. More and more creatures came running to fight, them being hungry Vampires. Mostly just five to six of them. While the brunette girl was fighting the vampires the victim decided to run for it, being followed, by one of the other vampires. She was grabbed and before she could be bitten Angel and Spike came jumping down staking the Vampire.

"Get her out of here!" shouted Angel.

G helped the girl to escape while Angel and Spike went after those other vampires, them seeing another girl needing help.

"Who's that?" Spike asked out loud while the two were heading over.

"Probably another victim." Angel said, worried.

"She can fight." replied Spike. And the two jumped in. The young girl exchanges several blows with a few of the Vampires as did Spike and Angel. Spike grabs one and throws him into a wall and staking him. Angel jumps and a does a high kick to a Vampire sending him to Spike with a stake in hand and the Vampire turns to dust on Spike. The fighting continued and after being thrown against the walls a few times, Angel and Spike vamped and let their anger out even more. The girl pulled out a stake and staked two of the vampires. Angel and Spike looked pleased. Until Spike was knocked down with one punch, the girl pushed Angel against the wall and pulled out a stake. Angel quickly went back to his normal face.

"Wait, I'm not going to hurt you." He began to say.

"Angel?" The girl said, confused. She was suddenly pulled back and slammed to the ground by Spike. "Owe! I wasn't going to stake him Spike!" She said getting up from the ground wiping the dirt off her pants.

"Who are you?" Spike asked shocked over her saying his name as if they've known each other for a long time.

"You two don't know me." She put her hands out to shake their's. "Hi, my name is Katherine Anderson, but you can call me Kate." The two were still speechless. "I'm the Vampire Slayer."
