Hey guys, here's chapter two!
Desire, it causes people to be totally different. You can't suppress your heart's desires.
Chapter 2:
I had just gotten back from my patrol, it had been a bad night, I only ended up staking four vamps instead of the usual ten. I was just very eager to get back to the garden and put my plan into action.
I wrote a small thank you note, so that this stranger would feel welcome, then I laid on the ground and closed my eyes, I began thinking about things, then my thoughts had images to go with them, I was soon dreaming.
The next morning I woke up to the bright sun again. The thank you note was gone, replaced with a box that had another note on top of it.
Your welcome. I'm glad that you like it, it looks better on you then me by far. You looked so adorable laying there, I just couldn't resist… I'll be seeing you.
I put the note aside and opened up the box, inside laid some black roses. Black, that was…interesting. I dumped the Daffodils out of the nearest vase and replaced them with the roses. Looking back in the box, I noticed that roses weren't all that this stranger had left me. Inside, laid a crossbow with metal arrows.
When Giles showed up later bringing subway sandwiches, I remained on the floor, looking at the beautiful gift I had been given.
"So, did you talk to whatever left you the jacket?"
"Nope, whatever left me the jacket came after I fell asleep, and boy were they generous." I pointed to the roses and the crossbow.
"A crossbow?" Giles's eyes lit up. "And, roses?"
"I guess my stalker is friendly."
"If whomever is leaving you these gifts is friendly, then why haven't they shown themselves to you yet?"
"Maybe they're shy?" I suggested, "Oh, or maybe they're a good demon, I met one of those once. They may be ashamed of what they really are."
"Or, maybe they're the thing that killed Sam." I winced when Giles mentioned Sam, I should have been there to save her…
"No, they're not, the thing, or things that killed Sam attacked and then left, they didn't try to make friends with her first."
"I didn't mean that whoever has been leaving you these gifts is evil, I just think that you should be careful."
"I am careful, see, I sleep with stakes." I told him, letting the stakes slide down from my jacket.
"Oh, well, don't hurt yourself with those." He grimaced at the thought of me sleeping with such sharp objects.
"Whoever this person is, I just know that I'll be safe."
"Alright." Giles gave in. "Buffy, I think that there might be some new inhabitants to this area. Look out for anything dangerous."
"Giles, everything is dangerous here in Cleveland, you know, because of the hell mouth."
"Just, be careful."
"Aren't I always?"
Avoiding the question, he asked, "Do you want to train?"
"Sure, I always love being able to double stake a vampire." I said sarcastically. Vampires weren't a problem for me any longer, but why not train, it's good, I guess.
After the long day of training, I went out patrolling. All the vampires seemed to vanish, not a single one out. Then, a huge group of at least twenty demons appeared. I may be good at fighting, but I'm definitely not that good. It was an ambush, obviously these demons felt threatened by me. As the first ones were about to reach me, a man jumped down from the tree nearby.
He stood by my side, fighting as if he himself were a slayer. Soon, there were twenty dead demons laying on the ground. "Thank you." I turned to say to the mysterious guy, but he was already gone. Could he possibly be the guy who left me those gifts? I would never forget his face, it was as if the heavens themselves had carved it.
Sorry that this chapter isn't very long. So, do you have any guesses of who this mysterious guy is? Thanks for the reviews!
