Resistance

It has been a couple months since this all began. One day, Kate, going home from school, sees school bus number B36 drives off it's route and disappears. Listening to her gut feeling, Kate tells the bus driver to follow B36. The bus driver listens, being decent friends with Kaitlyn. Kate tells her something might be wrong. They follow, repeatedly trying to make contact with the bus over the radio. B36 is driven out to an abandoned farm. Kaitlyn tells her bus driver to park and wait. Kate runs over to the barn where the other bus pulled into. She sneaks in and sees a group of vampires there. The bus was hijacked by vampires. She rescues two kids and they run out to the other bus. Kate goes back and finds the other people drained of blood. She fights the vampires. She kicks one vampire out into the sunlight. It gets up and walks back in laughing.

Kate looks at the vampire, "Um...sunlight... damn..."

She fights the vampire and dusts it herself. She wonders for a second and guesses somehow they are now resistant to sunlight. Kate gets back to her bus and the bus driver had called police. Police, fire and EMS crews arrive. Reports are taken and Kaitlyn, covering for her actions says the kidnappers must have run away. Slayers Council members acting as government officials, arrive to remove any evidence of Kaitlyn's actions and drive her away and home. When she gets home, she calls Giles. Everyone rushes to her house and Kaitlyn explains what happened.

"Sunlight resistant? Damn." Faith picks up a weapon. "Looks like we gotta patrol day and night now."

Giles responds, "The situation is much bigger than that. If these things can walk in daylight, no one is safe. We must hope this is an isolated incident and that we deal with this fast. I'll contact the Council, see what they think."

Kaitlyn to herself, "I become a slayer the moment these things can also walk in day."

Willow, "I'll call Buffy and Angel. They'll need to know now."

Xander, "If vampires can walk in daylight, wouldn't we be seeing a huge massacre everywhere, now?"
