The Harvest: Part 3

*Narcissa POV*

Buffy and I made our way through the tunnel, we saw nothing but a few rats scurrying across the ground

Did you see anything?" we heard suddenly, making us both jump.

We turned to find Xander hold a flashlight

"Xander, what are you doing here?!" Buffy exclaimed quietly

"Something stupid. I followed you." Xander said

"Well, you-" Buffy was cut off by Xander

"I couldn't just sit at home and do nothing." he pointed out

"I understand. Now, go away!" Buffy told him

"No!" Xander glared

"Will you two shut up!" I snapped making them look at me. I looked at Buffy "Jesse is his best friend, sure he irritated me a lot, but he meant a lot to Xander. Just let him come" They both nodded and we continued down the tunnel.

"Besides, it's this or chem class." Xander joked making me giggle

We came to some stairs

"Okay, so, crosses, garlic, stake through the heart." Xander counted on his fingers "That'll get it done." Buffy nodded

"I just love blowing them up" I grinned

"Cool! Of course, I don't actually have any of those things." Xander admitted

"Good thinking." Buffy handed him a cross

"Well, the part of my brain that would tell me to bring that stuff is still busy telling me not to come down here. I have this, though." he turned on his flashlight Buffy and I spun around

"Xander!" I hissed

"Turn that off!" Buffy glared

"Okay! Okay!" he turned it off "So, what else?"

"What else what?" We asked

"For vampire slayage."

"Oh, fire, beheading, sunlight, holy water, the usual." Buffy listed

"You've done some beheading in your time?" Xander asked cautiously

"Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife..." Buffy looked up at Xander who laughed nervously "You're not loving this story."

"No, actually, I find it oddly comforting." Xander told her

"They're close." Buffy and I said

"How can you tell?" Xander asked

"No more rats." I said Xander turned on his flashlight and shined it down the tunnel. He stopped when the light ran over a figure lying on the floor

"Jesse!" Xander shouted and we ran to him

"Oh, no!" Buffy gasped Jesse reacted to Buffy and jumped up

"J-J-Jesse!" Xander stuttered with relief

"Xander!" Jesse exclaimed happily and they did a manly embrace

"Jesse, man, are you okay?" Xander asked

"I am not okay, on an *epic* scale." I shined a light on the shackles around Jesse's ankles

"We gotta get outta here!" Jesse exclaimed

"It's cool, Buffy's a superhero and Cissa is a witch." Xander shrugged and missed the look Jesse gave him

Buffy went to break the chains, but she jumped back when a laser bolt flew past her face and broke the chain. I smirked to myself and rolled my eyes when Buffy glared at me "Do you think anyone heard that?" Xander asked, referring to the bang to chain made

We turned to see shadows moving on the walls

"Come on!" I said and we turned and ran back through the tunnel

"They knew you were gonna come. They said that I... I was the bait." Jesse told us

"Oh, great, now you tell us." Xander snarked as we ran around a corner only to be cut off by a group of vamps

"Oops" Buffy said and we ran another way

"Oh, no, no, no, no!" Jesse panicked

"Do you know another way out?" I asked him

"I dunno. Maybe. C'mon!" Jesse led us away to an intersection "Wait, wait. They brought me through here, there, there should be a way up. I hope!" he led us into a chamber

"I don't think this is the way out!" Buffy commented as we looked around.

"We can't fight our way back through those things. What do we do?" Xander asked, trying to hide the fear in his voice. I grabbed his hand in comfort

"I got an idea." Jesse said, I felt shivers glide up my spine "You can die!" We turned to find Jesse vamped out

"Jesse, man. I'm sorry." Xander breathed out in shock as I gaped at the undead version of the boy who obsessed over me

"Sorry? I feel good, Xander! I feel strong! I'm connected, man, to everything!" Jesse boasted Buffy started to struggle with keeping the door "I, I can hear the worms in the earth!" Jesse started to close in on us

"That's a plus." I said shakily

"I know what the Master wants. I'll serve his purpose. That means you die. And I feed." Jesse turned to me "My beloved Narcissa. I'll keep you and we'll be together forever" making me whimper in fear

"Xander, the cross!" Buffy hollered Xander held up the cross and Jesse stepped back growling

"Jesse, man. We're buds, don't you remember?"

"You're like a shadow to me now." Jesse sneered

"Then get outta my face." Xander glared back

Jesse knocked Xander's arm to the side, making him hit the wall. He jumped to the other side of the room, facing Xander.

"Open the door!" I yelled at Buffy who looked at me shocked before obeying. I used telekinesis to throw Jesse to the advancing crowned of vamps from behind the door

"Help me" Buffy yelled and we struggled to close the door again on a vampire arm. When the vamp pulled back we slammed the door shut

"We need to get out of here!" Buffy said "There is no out of here!" Xander looked around

"I could smoke us out" I offered making them look at me "I could smoke right into Giles' office. He keeps it locked" They both nodded and we heard a bang. We looked at the door that was almost off it's hinges. I quickly grabbed their hands and smoked out just us the door burst open.
