The shape of things to come
Buffy raced into the room Rhona was sharing with Kennedy. She stopped short, and Willow, who had been hot on her heels, smacked into her back.
"Oh my god" Buffy whispered.
"Hello Buffy, sleep well?" Said Kennedy as she morphed her face back into human form.
"Rhona what the hell happened here?" Buffy gasped, turning away from the vampire with Kennedy's face.
"I don't know, we were up a lot of the night with her being sick and complaining of stomach cramps, we finally went to sleep and I woke up and she was sleeping with THAT face on" Rhona gasped for breath.
"Oh my goddess, Kennedy what happened to you? This has to be a dream, a bad bad dream that I am going to wake up from any minute now. WAKE UP WILLOW, PLEEEASE!" Willow started to sob, and Giles appeared, taking Willow aside and asking Rhona to take her back to their room and keep her and the others there for now.
"So Buffy, killed any more little girls today? Led them into their painful deaths? Allowed them to get bitten even a little bit by some vampires?" Kennedy grinned again, mocking Buffy.
"I DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY, those girls were Slayers. And oh my god I am not going to let you get to me. You think you can get under my skin? After what the First did to us? I don't think so. Giles – stake, NOW!" Buffy held her hand out and Giles placed the stake he had brought with him into it.
"Buffy wait, don't you think we should try to find out why, or even HOW this happened first?"
"No Giles, this THING is sitting here pretending to be Kennedy, it's grotesque."
The dark haired vampire giggled; a chilling sound. "Oh Buffy, I AM Kennedy, just with sharper teeth." It morphed again, demonstrating its teeth. Buffy lunged at it, throwing it to the floor. The vampire brought its feet up and kicked her off, it's strength double that of any vampire she had ever fought, even the ubervamps. Buffy breathed in in shock. "The Ubervamps in the Hellmouth. One of them bit you, not enough to kill you, it fed you it's blood without you realising, and there we have it, uberslayervamp. Oh god, we have to – oomph" Kennedy backhanded Buffy into the wall, Buffy punched with her left then her right until Kennedy was on the floor, she straddled it and drove her stake deep into its chest. It didn't die screaming, rather it was laughing, like it knew it wasn't the last one Buffy would meet, Buffy pushed the stake further feeling bones crack with the pressure. Finally a cloud of dust was all that was left and Buffy took a shaky breath and got to her feet.
"Willow." Was all she said to Giles. He nodded and they took off towards their room.
