The next class, they were instructed to gather outside the Forbidden Forest. Professor Riley showed up a few minutes after the last student had arrived, with a slim, brunette woman.
Whispers broke out among the children at her appearance. First, the blue-haired Illyria, and now, this woman. (Quietly, lest Professor Riley hear, it was pointed out that the two looked rather similar, as did their attire. Obviously, the professor had a type, and he liked that type to wear an ungodly amount of leather.)
"Class, this is Faith." Professor Riley introduced. "She's going to be helping me simulate what a vampire hunt would be like, as Professor Dumbledore won't allow an actual vampire on school grounds." The last part was said rather petulantly, and they could tell that the man was disappointed at not having a real vampire to work with.
"What could she do to help with a vampire?" someone said snidely from the back of the group. (It sounded suspiciously like Draco Malfoy, and Connor made a mental note to dock points from the boy, later.)
Faith smirked, letting Connor explain, rather than do it herself. "Faith's a Slayer." He said.
More whispers broke out. "A slayer?" "Did he say 'slayer'?" "A slayer!" "The bloody hell's a slayer?"
Faith caught that last bit and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, a Slayer. You know, one girl to fight the darkness, she who hangs out in graveyards a lot." She frowned. "Except there's a few more than one, these days."
Connor took over again. "You're going to split into groups, which I will assign, and see if you can take down Faith. Slayers are about as fast and strong as a vamp, so you'll get a good handle on your skills, and plus, we don't have to worry about her draining you."
The Dark Slayer smirked at the Destroyer, and there was something just a little evil about the expression. "Oh, I wouldn't bet on that."
The class paled.
Needless to say, Faith destroyed them.
