Welcome to the Hellmouth: Part 2

*Narcissa's POV*

I met up with Willow after her History class. We stood by the fountain as she took a drink. Willow looked up and straightened fast, I frowned and looked behind me. I groaned, it was Queen Bitch and the New Girl

"Willow! Nice dress! Good to know you've seen the softer side of Sears." Cordelia smirked nastily
"Uh, oh, well, my mom picked it out." Willow stuttered
"No wonder you're such a guy magnet."
"Shut your mouth Bitch before I shut it for you" I snarled, Making her flinch. I had to be the only person in the school who she was afraid of. Ever since she was mean to me and then she had really bad luck for a week before she apologised to me and it stopped.
"Whatever. Are you done?" Cordelia asked looking at Willow. Willow looked at the fountain, then back at Cordelia. "Oh!" She stepped back bumping into me, we turned and left going to class.

It was lunch time and we were sitting on a bench in the quad. I pulled out a turkey sub with cheese that I conjured "Soo, how was History?" I asked
"It was fine. " Willow replied "The lesson was kinda boring though"
"Uh, Hi! Willow, right?" we look up to see the new girl
"Why? I-I mean, hi! Uh, did you want us to move?" Willow started to pick up her lunch until I stopped her.
"Why don't we start with, 'Hi, I'm Buffy,' and, uh, then let's segue directly into me asking you for a favour." Buffy took the seat on the other side of me "It doesn't involve moving, but it does involve hanging out with me for a while." she looked at me "Sorry I don't know your name" she told me
"It's Narcissa Darkmore, But call me Cissa" I smiled
"Aren't you hanging out with Cordelia?" Willow asked biting her lip
"I can't do both?" Buffy asked confused
"No" I said bluntly making Willow nudge me "Sorry" I mumbled
Buffy took a deep breath "Look, I really wanna get by here--new school--and... Cordelia's been really nice... to me... anyway, but, um, I kinda have this burning desire not to flunk all my classes, and I heard a rumour that you were the person to talk to if I wanted to get caught up."
"Oh, I could totally help you out! Uh, if you have sixth period free we could meet in the library?" Willow smiled brightly "Or not." Buffy said quickly. Making us look at her confused "Or we could meet some place quieter. Louder. Uh, that place just kinda gives me the wiggins."
"How could you not like it in there?" I wondered
"Oh, it has that effect on most kids. Cissa you used to hate the Library." Willow pointed out
"That was before we got the new Hot older, Librarian" I smirked, making Willow shake her head and Buffy to screw up her face
"He's new?" she frowned
"Yeah, he just started. He was a curator at some British museum, or, or The British Museum, I'm not sure. But he knows everything, and he brought all these historical volumes and biographies, and am I the single dullest person alive?" Willow sighed
"Not at all." Buffy said, just as Xander popped up behind us and sat between Buffy and I, while Jesse stood in front of us
"Hey!" Jesse grinned
"You guys busy? Are we interrupting? We're interrupting." Xander stated as he threw Jesse his bag
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey there!" Buffy, Willow and Jesse greeted each other while I continued to eat
"Buffy, this is Jesse and that's Xander." I said once I swallowed
"Oh, me and Buffy go waaay back, old friends, very close. Then there's that period of estrangement where I think we were both growing as people, but now here we are, like old times, I'm quite moved." Xander rambled making me laugh
"Is it me, or are you turning into a bibbling idiot?" Jesse smirked
"No, it's, uh, it's not you." Xander looked down
"Well, it's nice to meet you guys, I think." Buffy said Xander jumped down and rummaged through his bag
" Well, you know, we wanted to welcome ya, make ya feel at home, unless you have a scary home..." Jesse rambled trying to make Buffy feel welcome, but he only succeeded in creeping her out
"And to return this." Xander held up a stake "The only thing I can think is that you're building a really little fence." he handed it to Buffy
"Hah, no, um, a-a-actually it was for self-defense. Everyone has them in L.A. Pepper spray is just so passé." Buffy lied making me roll my eyes. The only reason I knew about Vampires was because of me being a witch
"So what do you do for fun, what do you like, what do you look for in a man, let's hear it." Xander shot questions at her
"If you have any dark, painful secrets you'd like us to publish?" Jesse added
"Gee, everyone wants to know about me. How keen." Buffy said
"Well, not much goes on in a one Starbucks town like Sunnydale. You're pretty big news." I said, taking a drink of my Pepsi
"I'm not. Really." she denied
"Are these guys bothering you?" Cordelia interrupted
"Oh look its Queen Bitch" I smiled nastily making Willow nudge me once again
"Uh, no!" Buffy said as Cordelia glared at us
"She's not hanging out with us." Willow said trying to get Cordelia to leave us alone
"Hey! Cordelia!" Jesse stepped up next to her. She was the other girl Jesse fancied apart from me
"Oh, please!" Cordelia scoffed at Jesse "I don't mean to interrupt your downward mobility, but I just wanted to tell you that you won't be meeting Coach Foster, the woman with the chest hair, because gym was cancelled due to the extreme dead guy in the locker."
I perked up "Dead Body? Cool" I mumbled
"What?" Buffy panicked
"What are you talking about?" Willow asked nervous
"Some guy was stuffed in Aura's locker!" Cordelia explained
"Dead." Buffy stated
"Totally dead. Way dead."
"It's not just a little dead, then?" Xander and I asked
"Don't you have an elsewhere to be?" Cordelia sneered at us
"Y'know, if you need a shoulder to cry on, or just to nibble on..." Jesse flirted
"How did he die?" Buffy butted in
"I don't know." Cordelia shrugged
"Well, were there any marks?"
"Morbid much! I didn't ask!" Cordelia looked at Buffy strangely Buffy looked at us all before standing
"Um, I gotta book. I'll, I'll see you guys later." she grabbed her things and left
"What's her deal?" Cordelia asked as she watched her leave.

I entered the Library with Xander so we could get his Trig book.
"I don't see why I had to come" I huffed
"Because you have a Free period and have nothing else to do" he countered
"True" I said and we looked in the Trig section. We heard the library doors slam open
"Okay, what's the stitch?" we heard Buffy ask angrily
"Sorry?" I heard Mr. Giles ask
"You heard about the dead guy, right? The dead guy in the locker?" Buffy asked, making Xander and I frown
"Yes." Giles stated
We heard a bag hit the floor, followed by footsteps
"'Cause, it's the weirdest thing." Buffy started "He's got two little, little holes in his neck, and all his blood's been drained. (meets him) Isn't that bizarre? Aren't you just going, 'ooh'?"
"I was afraid of this." Giles sighed
"Well, I wasn't! It's my first day! I was afraid that I was gonna be behind in all my classes, that I wouldn't make any friends, that I would have last month's hair. I didn't think there'd be vampires on campus. And I don't care." Buffy stated Xander looked at me 'Vampires?' he mouthed, his eyes wide
"Then why are you here?" Giles asked
"To tell you that... I don't care, which... I don't, and... have now told you, so... bye."
"Is he, w-will he... rise again?" Giles stuttered
"Who?"
"The boy."
"No. He's just dead."
"Can you be sure?"
"To make you a vampire they have to suck your blood. And then you have to suck their blood. It's like a whole big sucking thing. Mostly they're just gonna kill you. Why am I still talking to you?" Buffy asked herself Xander and I continued to listen in as we heard Buffy go back down the stairs
"You really have no idea what's going on, do you? You think it's coincidence, your being here? That boy was just the beginning." Giles warned
"Oh, why can't you people just leave me alone?" Buffy sighed
"Because you are the Slayer." I frowned, The Slayer. I've heard of them "Into each generation a Slayer is born, one girl in all the world, a Chosen One, one born with the strength and skill to hunt--" Giles was cut off by Buffy
"With the strength and skill to hunt the vampires, to stop the spread of their evil blah, blah, blah... I've heard it, okay?" "I really don't understand this attitude. You, you've accepted your duty, you, you've slain vampires before..."
"Yeah, and I've both been there and done that, and I'm moving on." I nearly scoffed. Slayers can't walk away.
"What do you know about this town?" Giles asked as he walked into his office
"It's two hours on the freeway from Neiman Marcus?" Buffy asked sarcastically
"Dig a bit in the history of this place. You'll find a, a steady stream of fairly odd occurrences. Now, I believe this whole area is a center of mystical energy," he came back out "that things gravitate towards it that, that, that you might not find elsewhere." he something on the table
"Like vampires." Buffy said
"Like zombies, werewolves, incubi, succubi, everything you've ever dreaded was under your bed, but told yourself couldn't be by the light of day. They're all real!" Giles explained excitedly making me smile, he was so cute.
"What? You, like, sent away for the Time-Life series?" Buffy asked
"Ah, w-w-w-yes."
"Did you get the free phone?"
"Um, the calendar."
"Cool! But, okay, first of all, I'm a Vampire Slayer. And secondly, I'm retired. Hey, I know! Why don't you kill 'em?" Buffy asked
"I-I'm a Watcher, I-I haven't the skill..." I rolled my eyes. Watchers have to have the skill, to train the Slayers
"Oh, come on, stake through the heart, a little sunlight... It's like falling off a log." Buffy scoffed
"A, a Slayer slays, a Watcher--"
"Watches?" Buffy snarked
"Yes. No! He, he trains her, he, he, he, prepares her--" Giles stuttered
"Prepares me for what? For getting kicked out of school? For losing all of my friends? For having to spend all of my time fighting for my life and never getting to tell anyone because I might endanger them? Go ahead! Prepare me." Buffy said angrily
They were silent for a few moments before Buffy scoffed and left the Library. A few seconds later, Giles left too. Xander and I walked out of the stacks "What?" Xander asked holding the Trig book. He turned to me and I shrugged before leaving the Library.
