You Have Potential

A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Fan Fiction Story

Chapter 6:

We heard an ear piercing scream again.

" Mike?" I yelled and Spike and I both ran through his house to where the screaming was coming from. We ended up in his kitchen, that was over looking a spacious back yard. We looked around and I saw him laying there on the floor. He looked to be un conscious. I bent down next to him.

" Mike? Mike?"

" Alexis!" I looked up to see demons with dark pink skin, three horns, and super sized muscles.

" Oh Shit!" I stood up quickly and started fighting them. They seemed to have great strength. " Spike I wish you would help fight them off"

" It's about time I thought you'd never ask"

" Just shut up and help me" I groaned kicking and punching these demons.

" Where did they come from?" He asked me.

" Why are you asking me?" I said in-between punches. " That's it!" I yelled as I threw the demons through the window, and knocked them out for the time being.

" That's only temporary love, there going to wake up and be pissed off"

" Well it works for now! Help me grab Mike, we got to get out of here" I picked up one side of him and waited for Spike.

" Why does he have to come along?"

" Spike he was just attacked by … well I don't know what they were, we cant leave him here, he'll be safer with us" Spike stood there staring at him, with his arms folded. "SPIKE!" HE came around and put Mike's other arm around his shoulder and made our way back onto the RV. We laid him down on the bed in the back of the vehicle, and shut the wooden door.

" He was knocked out pretty bad" I said looking at the closed door.

" So now what's the plan?" I shrugged.

" I don't know? We cant leave him here to get attacked again." I sat down on the couch with my head in my hands. Spike came over and put his hand on my shoulder. I looked up and smiled at him. " We should get going before our big bad beastie friends wake up, and come back." I sat in the front seat, and drove on. Spike sat in the back drinking a cup of warmed blood. We drove on for hours, and it was starting to get dark. We had stopped for a pit stop for gas.

I heard groans coming from the bedroom, and knew Mike was coming to. I walked back to the door and opened it.

" Mike, are you alright?" I asked watching him trying to sit up.

" What happened?" He looked at me trying get his bearings. "Where am I?" I sat down on the bed next to him.

" I don't even know where to begin."

" How about the part where there were these strange …" He looked at me with furrowed eyebrows. " Actually I have no idea what they were, attacking me." I sighed.

" Ah, so you remember that part do you?" he nodded.

" I may have hit my head, but I don't think I was hallucinating"

By this time Spike came back on the RV, and walked back to us, and stood in the door way.

" That's actually complicated, but just know that you were attacked ,and we had to bring you with us to protect you." He looked a little un easy about what I had just said and looked away from me.

" Alexis" He sighed and looked me in the eyes. " Who are you.. Really?" What do I do? Do I lie, or can he handle the truth? I felt stuck. I looked up at Spike and he couldn't give me the answer. I had to be straight with Mike, especially since he was going to be coming with us ,and inevitable we were going to be caught in the thick of danger along the way. I nodded.

" Your right, you deserve to know the truth. I'm Alexis Gray. You only know a part of who I am, the part of me that is trying to fight to be normal. The other part of me is completely different. I am a potential Vampire slayer, with full slayer strength and powers."

" What's a Slayer?" He asked.

" The slayer is chosen to be the one girl to protect the world against evil. Vampires, demons… you name it. However long and complicated story short. I am in a long line of slayers waiting to be chosen to become the next slayer. Also those things in your house were demons. I don know what kind of demons yet, but I promise you I will keep you safe." He looked like he had just been told the world isn't really round ,but flat after all. His whole way of thinking had been turned up side down. He needed time to take it all in.

" So, if you slay vampires why are you dating one?"

" Huh, I'm not dating a vampire? Where would you get that idea?" I looked u pat Spike. " Oh, no you got it all wrong" I shook my head and laughed. " I'm not dating Spike" I laughed harder. " I would never date a vampire. He is different he had a soul, and he is just a friend." Spike walked to the front of the vehicle.

" So… your single?" He asked looking hopeful. So I was right all this time he really did like me. I smiled and nodded.

" Yes."

" Are you really going to L.A. for a gig, or is there some thing else?" I desisted to tell him everything. I figured it would be easier that way. So I started from the beginning from when I figured out who I was meant to be, helping Buffy and the other potentials defeat the first evil, how I still had power, finding Spikes amulet, and things going a little crazy from there. I told him that we were on our way to L.A. to get answers. I told him everything while Spike drove.

" Wow!" He leaned back against the back of the bed.

" Yea, it's a lot to take in."

" I mean all of this time I just thought you were mysterious, because you were a girl" I laughed.

" Well that too" I knew that Mike liked me now, and I did like him too, but I couldn't get too close to him. I couldn't risk him getting hurt, or caught up in my fights. He may know everything now, but I don't think he really could handle it more than that.

I Stood up and left Mike to rest while I went up to see if Spike needed any help.

" So lover boy all cozy then?"

" What's that supposed to mean?" he smirked.

" You were back there for a while, and were way too quick to tell him you were single. I just figured you needed to take care of business." I looked a him open mouthed, I was in shock.

" Why do you care?"

" I don't care, hey got to do what you got to do love!" He laughed.

" Jealous are we?" He scoffed and turned to give me a look of disbelief.

" Ha, No!"

" Uh huh… but no I was back there explaining everything that was going on to him. I told him everything from who I am, to our reason for our journey. Threes no reason to lie to him, especially since he is going to be in the thick of it ,and demons were attacking him in his own home."

" I see. I hate to break it to you, but I would say those demons were probably after you, not him. They can sense your power" I shrugged.

" All the more reason to tell him everything." He looked over at me again, and I put my feet up on the dash board, and leaned my head against the window.

" So lover boy wont get in the way then?"

" No" I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
