"398..399..400", There 400 Toad Legs present & accounted for", says Anya smiling at an admiring Xander, who in turn walks over putting his arms around her while saying, "Yeah a man has to appreciate a woman who can maintain so appealing while counting hundredes of severed frog legs" Turning around to face Xander, Anya looks into his eyes and abruptly says, "Is it time for sex??" "Oh God, get a room..ow,ow,ow", says Buffy who is sitting at a table across from Xander & Anya, she wiggles in her chair as Giles wraps a mild cut across her arm. "Buffy please, since you won't go to the hospitial you can at least allow me to put this bandage on correctly" "No time for the Hospitial, I gotta get home & check on Mom & Dawn" "How's she doing?" , asks a concerened Xander "Better, she moving around alot more...besides Dawn is proably still up with Will & Tara watching that Horror movie marathon they were talking about" As Giles finishes his work, Buffy hops up grabbing her jacket and begins to head for the door. "Wait Buff, you didn't finish telling about sword-swinging demon guy", says Xander "Later, I gotta get a shower, that guy had some stink when he cought on fire" As Buffy leaves, Xander looks at Anya, and says, "I guess I be taking you up on that offer", Clearing his throat Giles interrupts saying, "I hate to come inbetween the two of your..extracircullar activity, but there's a certain sword welding demon cooking in the cemetery that should be looked into" Taking a deep sigh, Xander says to himself,"All work and no play make Giles a dull.." "What was that?", asks Giles "Uh..nothing, I'll get the car", replies Xander Kendra is on her way to Buffy's house, she is no longer being assualted by the random memories from her past. She looks at the hand as she notices that she no longer feels the throbbing pain that the shock of the sword left behind, As a matter of fact she has never felt better. She knows that this is strange, and feels deep down that something terrible will come from this. She then quickens her pace thinking, "Hopefully Mr. Giles will know what to do." She instinctivly spins around into a combat stance, someone is following her, and she knows it. As she glances around looking for her soon to be victim, her attention is drawn away by a loud crackling sound. Kendra looks over only to see a bright bluish glow coming from about two blocks over. She then takes her attention back to her immediate surroundings, only to she that they have changed, after a quick assertation she finds herslef in Sunnydale High. "This.. is the libary??" Kendra is once again overwhelmed by that uncomfortable feeling when she hears, "Well, well deary come back for a rematch?" She spins around to see Drusilla standing before her in full vampire mode, but slightly "out of focus"? Before she can adjust she sees Drusilla's hand raise into the air, Kendra immediatly strikes her with a powerful thrust kick sending Dru hurling through a nearby wall shattering the entire room. Kendra looks around in total confusion seeing that she is back on the street, when she feels something running down her neck, she places her hand on her neck to find that her once fatal wound has reappeared. A panicing Kendra falls to the ground tighten her hand around her neck gasping for air as she nearly chokes herself trying to stop the bleeding. Drusilla appears in front of her. Kendra looks up at her almost frozen to the ground, as Dru says, "You know love, I can't blame you for being scared. I mean I've never beaten Buffy so easily, and we both know youre certainly not her." As Dru cracks a devilish smile she adds, "Look at you, RESSURECTED BY THE MILITARY TO FIGHT EVIL! Ha, you never had much of a personality before you died, and now...well love, your nothing more than another monster. Youre one of us now dear just let all that humanity bleed away." Kendra infurated by what Drusilla just said, pounces to her feet, and unleashes a barrage of punches and kicks, blinded by an almost beserker rage Kendra fails to realize that her blows merely pass right through a laughing Drusilla. As a tired Kendra throws her last punch, Dru strangely catches her from falling whispering in her ear, "You will be the masters greatest weapon against the light" Dru then lifts the hands that Kendra held the sword in, licks her palm and says, "I..Know..A Seeecret", she then steps back away from Kendra, and disappears. An exhausted Kendra closes her eyes to concentrate, and regain her energy. When she opens them she sees someone coming towards her . Kendra sees that she is in perfect condition, no wound, no blood, nothing that would indicate what she just experienced was nothing more than an halluciation. Too tired to run, or fight she waits until the person reaches her. --more to come..-- |
