little slayer: chapter 2
by loekie
The next morning:
Peep…peep….peep
Malous alarm clock went of
Josta, immediately wide awake, jumped out of bed.
Josta: (cheery) Malou, Malou wakker worden! (wake up). She started tugging at her sister.
Malou groaned, opening her eyes slowly, she groaned some more and shielded her eyes with her hand.
Malou: ga maar vast aankleden, ik kom er zo aan. (go get dressed, I’ll be right there)
Josta: oke (runs of)
Malou slowly got up out of bed and noticed the water and aspirin next to her bed. “Oh god”, she moaned, starting to remember last light. She took the water and aspirin with a sigh. When she came out of the room her little sister was long ready. Malou smiled and to hugged her sister.
Malou: lekker geslapen schat? (slept wel sweaty?)
Josta: ja hoor (yes), waarom was Spike hier (why was Spike here?)
Malou: ooh uh… hij bracht me gewoon thuis… heeft hij nog wat gedaan…? (he just brought me home… did he.. did he do something?)
Josta: alleen jou op bed gelegd en water en een pil op het kastje gelegd en mij getroost. (he just laid you in bed and put some water and pills next to you and comfort me).
Malou: aha… zoals? (like?)
Josta: gewoon omhelzen en tranen wegvegen (just hugged me and wiped my tears)
Malou: weet je dat zeker? (are you sure?)
Josta: ja hoezo? (yes why?)
Malou: niks gewoon (nothing, no reason) zo.. pannekoeken? (soo pancakes?)
Josta: jaaaa
Malou: smiling... oke dan...
She went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast

At night, Malou walking around looking for things to kill. After the job is done and the world a substantial amount of vampires shorter she returned home, saw the babysitter out and sat on the couch. After a short while her sister joined her and she curled up on her sisters lap to fall asleep again.
Cut to Malou staring blankly into space, deep in thought, or not having any thought at all, who can tell.
There’s soft knock on the door. Startled Malou turned her head frowning (who could that be?)
Malou: (still frowning) door is open…
Buffy walked inside and came up to Malou.
Buffy: (offering her hand) Buffy
Malou: (not sure what to make of this shakes Buffys hand) Malou
Buffy: I know, spike told me. How are you?
Malou: I’m good… you? And uh.. why?
Buffy: I’m good… just trying to start a conversation here. You’re the new one huh?
Malou: I guess. You knew the last one?
Buffy: yeah, she was the one that came after the one that came when I died.
Malou: … you died…
Buffy: twice
Malou: ohke… sure… fun..?
Buffy: (shrugs) so who's this? (pointing towards Josta)
Malou: that's my sister, Josta…. you want something to drink?
Buffy: oh sure
Malou got up slowly as to not wake Josta, went into the kitchen and came back with two glasses and gave one to Buffy.
Malou: so how long have you been doing this?
Buffy: about 8 years (thinks) god that's a long time ...
Malou: (sighs) oh goody, something to look forward too.
Buffy: you oke?
Malou: sure... why wouldn't I be?
Buffy: where are your parents...?
Malou: (shrugs) they died.
Buffy: ooh god... I’m sorry...
Malou: it's alright.
Buffy: so... you're alone?
Malou: no, I have Josta
Buffy: (smiles a little remembering how glad she was for Dawn when her mum died) I understand, but... how old are you?
Malou: 10... why?
Buffy: 10...?! who's taking care of you?
Malou: I am, we are fine.
Buffy: (not really buying it but letting it slide) where’re you from?
Malou: the Netherlands ... Holland
Buffy: (drawing a blank) Holland...?
Malou: Amsterdam ring a bell?
Buffy: yeah...
Malou: well. that's our capital
Malou rests her head against the back of the couch for a moment and yawns, Buffy, feeling tired herself, gets up
Buffy: I should get going, if you need anything don't be afraid to ask.
Malou: sure, will do, thanks, see you around?
Buffy: alright, bye
Malou: bye.

cut to Malou getting up from the couch. she picks up her sister and heads of to the bedroom. cut to them sleeping.

cut to the summers house. Buffy is sitting in the kitchen, looking pretty shaken up. Dawn comes out with a cup of tea and hands it to Buffy.
Dawn: so you don't know.
Buffy: no... it's just... gone.
Dawn: handy... so the big bad...
Buffy: no idea, dawn I told you this, it was bad... really bad.
Dawn: (yawns) alright, alright, well if you don't mind, I’ll go back to bed, early day tomorrow
Buffy: (lost in thought) yeah you do that.
Dawn looks puzzled but gets up and heads upstairs.
