The Vampire Slayer Diaries

No Place Like Home

Late at night in the graveyard Buffy flew back slamming against a sign. She ducked just as the vampire's fist smashed into it. I had just finished staking my prey a small biker and glanced over seeing his friend a bigger, burley hell's Angel-Biker vampire looming menacingly over Buffy.

"I've always wanted to kill the slayers" He told her.

"And I've always wanted piano lessons." Buffy retorted. "So really, who's surprised we have all this unexpected rage."

A force of wind hurled around them as I joined the fight, I knocked the hulking vampire back several feet. He retaliated with a brutal punch. I blocked the blow and wrenched the demon's arm behind his back and flattened him against the fence, looking over at Buffy.

"But honestly? I think I'm expressing mine better." Buffy said jokingly. "Tell you what...you find yourself a good anger management class..."

The vampire attempted to throw me off, I hissed slamming him back into the fence.

"Buffy more stakey- less talky" I told her.

"Right I'll just jam this pokey wood stick through his heart." She said whipping out a stake.

Before the vampire could react, Buffy staked him and slipped the stake back into her coat looking at me.

"I think that sets the world speed record for closure." She told me making me smirk chuckling.

"Hey!" A voice said

A bright light shined in my eyes, we turned to see a factory night watchman approaching, I quickly reverted back to my other form.

"Ladies, if you're looking for one of those rave parties, I'm afraid you're late." He told us. "Chased a bunch of kids out of here last night."

"Oh right Yeah. Darn. Our fellow ravers will be so disappointed. It was our turn to bring the Bundt cake." I told him jokingly.

"You know, if it was my call, I'd let you do whatever you want. It's not like anybody's using this place or nothin'. But they just don't pay me enough to argue with the boss so..." The guy told us.

"Already gone!" Buffy told him, she linked her arm with mine as we turned to leave.

"Oh hey" The man said stopping me, I turned back raising an eyebrow. "Take your...whatever this is with you."

He bent over, picking up a glowing yellow orb and handed it to me.

"Thank you" I told him, looking at the thing curiously, I glanced at Buffy she shrugged.

"Glow balls huh?" The man said laughing. "I swear, I don't get your generation. What is that thing?"

"I'll let you know as soon as I find out." I muttered turning we walked out.

"Weird." Buffy said quietly.

The next morning, I woke up early did my routine. I was even able to go for a run, and take a shower it felt nice. Anyway I decided to make breakfast for Mom. I had the tray out on the counter a mug which I was warming up the cheetah blood in the microwave and breakfast cooking on the stove. I heard footsteps and turned seeing Nick enter.

"Mind getting the bread from the toaster." I asked quietly. 

"Got it." He told me, he grabbed what I asked and sat it on a plate adding jelly before putting it on the tray and looked at me. "So are we going to the shop today?." 

"I don't know Mama's sick." I told him moving over to grab the blood and place it on the tray. "I don't know what's wrong with her but I think it's better to stay around the house today."
