Strength, no matter how strong you are, there's just some things that you can't fight.
Chapter 7:
"Rupert, let me come with you, I could help."
"No, it will be far to dangerous."
"More the reason that I should go with you!" Jenny followed Giles around the house as he packed his bags.
"I don't want anything bad happening to you."
"Nor do I want anything bad happening to you."
"I understand your concern, but I am a highly skilled, trained watcher, I'll be fine." He reached for his watch that was lying on the counter only to be blocked by Mrs. Calendar's hand.
"And I am a highly skilled Gypsy, I could be of use and help you. I love Buffy too, and we will get her back."
"But what if… What if we're already to late?"
"We won't know for sure unless we go and find out."
"Fine, you can come, but only if you have holy water and crosses on you at all times."
"Thank you." Jenny and Giles leaned into a kiss. Jenny walked over to a box containing some of her Gypsy stuff, and pulled out a few papers and an orb.
"Is that an orb of Thessala? Why would you need that?"
"A while ago I worked on translating how to perform a soul restoration and I figured that it might come in handy if the worst comes to be."
"Oh, that's quite amazing… Let's hope that the worst hasn't come to be." Most people would think that the worst thing would be if Buffy were dead, but for Giles seeing her possessed by a demon would truly be the worst.

"Who are you?" Angelus asked the couple.
"Sorry for being rude, I'm Xander and this is Willow."
"Bored now. Can't we just go and find someone to eat?" Willow asked.
"No, Will, we have to take them to the master."
"Oh, not the master, he's an ugly sight to behold."
"Who are you who dares to disrespect the master." Xander asked.
"I be Angelus." Xander's eyes widened.
"You're the Great Angelus?" He asked. "Is this Darla, then?"
"No, Darla is dead, this is Buffy."
"The slayer?" Buffy shivered at the mention of what she used to be. "How dare you bring a slayer here at such a crucial time."
"She's no longer a slayer."
"You turned her? Smart. Come with us to see the master."
"Does he still live in underground, cause I really don't want to get my new shoes covered in rat muck."
"No, he lives at the Bronze."
"Fine, we'll pay him a visit."
"Angelus." I glanced at him nervously.
"It's alright, we don't want to be intruding his territory." I clutched his arm as we followed the two vamps across the town, I could feel dark power surging through the ground, this place really must have a hell mouth.
I clung tightly to Angelus's arm as we entered a vampire infested club. Humans were tied to tables and hanging in cages. I felt compelled to save them, but their bare necks caused all rational/good thoughts to immediately leave my mind. My mouth was watering with the metallic scent of blood in the air and my throat burned.
We followed Willow and Xander into the back, sitting in a throne like chair was a very old and ugly looking vampire. He had a strange bat-like appearance.
"Angelus." The 'Master' greeted. "What brings you here?" He then saw me and scowled. "A vampire slayer as a vampire?"
"My friends and I have to stay above a hell mouth for a while and the one in Cleveland is currently being occupied." He informed.
"That's fine, there's plenty to eat here, just as long as you didn't bring any slayer followers with you." The master glanced in my direction.
"Not that we know of. Thanks." Angelus left, taking me out into the dark streets of Sunnydale as I learned how to hunt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~______`________~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was late at night when we arrived in Sunnydale. It was going to be hard to find a place to stay for the night now, everywhere would be locked up tightly. Jenny and I hauled our bags down the street, crosses store in our back pockets.
"Come on Dru, I'm sure we can find something to sn-" Two vampires were walking down the street holding hands, one of them I recognized as Drusilla, she had supposedly been killed in an angry mob at least a hundred years ago.
"See, what did I tell you, snacks." The male one said.
"Spike, these are not snacks, they're here to ruin our happy family." She either had a look of anger or fear on her face, I couldn't tell which.
"You mean, he's a watcher?" Spike laughed before turning to leave. "I don't want to get into this, leave it for Angelus to deal with.
"What have you done with Buffy?" I demanded. Spike ignored me as he walked away.
"So, Angelus really is a vampire?"
"I believe so." I sighed, what had Buffy gotten herself into?
Sorry about Spike walking away, but he didn't want to have any part in thew whole slayer vampire thing. What did you think?
