A Collection Of Short Stories

Slaying Games

A/n The casting was a bit of fun. Imagine brunette hunger games Lawrence - Ollie, Susan Egan - Meg (who voiced Meg from Hercules - I wont say I am in love linked above for her beautiful singing), James Marsters (who plays Spike in Buffy) - Blake and imagine a first season Buffy as Della. There are also references littered through the story to the show so if you spot one feel free to point (like a fang) it out ;)

P.S I am on a serious roll so sorry but please don't expect me to update this often.

'Hello stranger,' I called to my girlfriend as she threw me a stake, 'You took  your time.' she gave me a wicked smile before pouncing on the back of the vampire I had been blocking. It tried to kick me several times so eventually I just grabbed its leg and twisted it till it ripped off. Della staked him, beaming with happiness as she did.

'You know Dell, someone may thing you are a murderous psychopath with mother issues if you act so happy with slaying things.' She turned to me sharply grabbing my waist.

'You pin me perfectly and still put up with my crazy ass; what did I do to deserve you...' I gladly pecked her on the lips. 'Also Ollie I am Sherlock style, a high functioning sociopath not a psychopath.'

'Sure you are detective, lets go.' I turned to walk away as she fixed her position on my waist. We decided to stop by Megs house to find out what bought them here. Vamps were not uncommon but five, five was unusual. As we pulled up Dell turned to me pouting. 'I wanna go home, can we just skip this part?'

I turned to her cute little face, 'You know we can't D, we leave it then people die.'

'I know.....' she began.

'Then you know we can't skip this part. Come on Dell.' She begrudgingly got out the car and trailed after me as I briskly walked up to and knock at the door.

'Coming.' A muffled voice yelled from behind the wood. I waited as various noises (mainly clattering and swearing) could be heard, Dell grasped my hand as we entered through the open doorway. Meg stared at us blushing with embarrassment.

'You know how I feel about PDA guys. Knock it off.'

'But we were barley cuddling.' Della complained as we unclasped hands.

'Meg help us out please, five vamps just tried bitey, bitey and between you and me that isn't great...' Meg nodded along with me before taking a deep breath.

'In other news I am offically dating. She is called Sally.' I stared at her a moment.

'Please tell me I will like this lesbean.' As I spoke Meg sighed.

'She is perfect.'

'Of couse she is.' I sighed as Della went off to grab the books.

We studdied them for several hours before deciding that it was probally a coven, not the best.

Once home I ran upstairs to grab Mr Pointy and his friends. Della was downstairs making sandwiches. You can say what you want about slaying but it sure does make a girl hungry. With snacks and stakes in tow we descended on the town; D was getting excite though, she kept on staking bushes and trees as the night dragged on.

'I am officially freezing.' I declared to Della as neared the graveyard.

'You always get cold mid way through patrol,' She handed me a coat. 'And you say I always complain.' She muttered under her breath; when we passed our first grave D went full (crazy) slayer jumping at anything that moved. Then we me our first vamp, he was wearing leather, but not like us. He spoke with a grainy husky voice and was clearly a 'sex pistons' kind of guy. The 80s were obviously his era; 'Well it seems we have some gate crashers.' We both swore as we grabbed our stakes and prepared for battle. D went in first with me flanking; this is how we usually went as she liked hand to hand combat where I was more of a cross bow kind of girl. Unfortunately for me my cross bow was in repair after a nasty incident with a vamp and the tension string, the new guy with platinum blonde hair set upon my  girl. I ran after him and was about to stake when another vamp grabbed me from behind, 'You know, your face is so pretty I could make you immortal.' I spat in his face before blocking his punch; and then staking him through the heart.

'Dell remind me to put a wash on when we get back, I have vampy ash on my shirt.' she chuckled beside me.. The guy she was fighting was obviously skilled as it evaded even her strength, I was about to aid her with taking the guy down when Della got thrown to the other side of the graveyard. I ran to her aid as the new guy got away. 

'Did Y'all see Blake anywhere I really wanted to meet with him.' the pouting vampire flew over to D.

'Hey lady.' I yelled, 'Why is everyone picking on my girl.' The lady vampire spun around and proceded to growl at me; ignoring compltely how my Della grabbed her and then staked her. 'Amazing kill my darling D.' She stared at me confused before planting a kiss on my lips. I smiled as I noticed the open cript with vamps inside running to get out. Grabbing a match I lit my stake and threw it into the hole.

Walking away with Della smiling beside me I kissed her on her pretty pink lips and then we ran hand in hand away from the fire ball like some dumb, but amazing movie.
