It was a time...: The last step

The Last Step.

The young teenage girl that once had beautifull blond hair, a beautifull face and once listened to the name Buffy, was not that girl any longer.
With her finger nails that she could turn into knives whenever she wanted and her scars on her face and her bruised arms, and with her hair and eyes completely red with purple stripes in it she was completely different from who she once was.

This thing, girl, woman, if you would prefer to call it that, wasn't normal.
You could lmost say she was inhuman.
But she was human, something about her said that she was, she had a heart that beat, but that wan't so unusual with non-human things, no, the thing that was so special about it was that she/it had feelings.
Altough it seemed like she was trying to control those feelings by wearing the neck collar.

She was heading toward the locall hospital, as she was walking along the street, walking right trough anything that was in her way, people kept pointing at her, their faces were filled with fear as they saw her coming their way.
She didn't bother to look at them, it was like they were ants to her.

Now, what seemed like just secondes later, she was standing in front of the hospital, she looked at the big building which had a big sign with 'Sunnydale Memoriall Hospitall' written on it.
The she miles and looked around her, then when she saw no one was listening, she said "Now, my transformation will be complete, it's only seconds away. Soon, Iwill be rid of these feeling that are keeping me so human inside."
Once said, she walked into the hospital, but she didn't open the door to go in, no, she just walked trough the glass, people all around her gasped for breath, some fainted, others started to shout, but she payed no attention to them.

When she was at a section of the hospital named 'INTENSIVE CARE' , she stopped in front of a door with the number 356 on it.
"This is it." she said with her creepy voice and terrifying smile.
This time she wanted to make a big entrence so she kicked the door open and it flew across the room.
A man in a bed in the corner awoke from the noise and looked at her, not scared or suprised at all, only dissapointed.

"I knew I'd get your attention if I made a big entrence, you always were so predictable, Rupert." she said with a sought and gentlle voice this time.
"I wish you hadn't chosen her." he said and it looked like he was going to cry now.
"Oh, you knew I would, from the day she was born you knew I would come back one day to finish what I started, to rid the world of all evil, of all humans, of everyone. But I guess you did not tell her this, you probably told her your little story about the slayer and how she protected the humans and how she rid the world of evil, and now you're dissapointed that I took her so soon and you didn't even get to say goodbye or warn her or anything. All because you couldn't tell the truth."
The man was ready to attack the woman, he was so furious.

"You shouldn't have come back, you shouldn't have taken her, it won't work, what you're trying to do, won't work, I've stopped you before and I'll stop you again."
Having heard this only made her smile bigger.
"Oh, my dear Rupert, the truth is, last time you stopped me you were strong and powerfull, and I was weak and stupid and I had these feelings you cursed me with, and also, that all happened 2100 years ago, if you remember, I'm suprised you lived this long, even for a guardian angel. Tough, I must say that your looks haven't improved, oh, you were very handsome when you were in your 20s, but now you just look like some old, stupid, mortall grandpa." she laughed, the walls seemed to tremble with every step she took closer to his bed.

"Don't do this." Giles said, he couldn't move, because he was to weak still from the blow to his head, but he knew what she was about to do.
"Oh, but I haven't a choice, killing you will transform me into a full powerfull demon, without these stupid feelings running trough my head. Don't worry, I promisse I'll make you suffer, after all, you did the same to me 2100 years ago."
She raised her left hand and her finger nails were still normall on that hand, but when she raised her right hand you could see there were knives instead of finger nails.
With her left hand, she grabbed the man's tongue, he still didn't move, he couldn't even lift a hand, that's how weak he was
"So you wouldn't scream." she whispered.
Then, all of a sudden, she raised her laft hand and with one blow she chopped of his tongue, blood was everywhere and the man looked like he was in so much pain all he wanted to do was die.
The next thing she did was turn him around, she he was no lying on his belly.
"We wouldn't you to choke to death, now would we ?" she said, with a strong and loud voice this time.

She was concentrating on his back a lot, she closed her eyes for a while, then opened them again, Giles was still awake and alive, then, her eyes turned completely black and seconds later it looked like she was melting his back with her eyes.
His whole skin was gone, but he was still alive, then she raised her left hand and she put it in the back of Giles, like she was operating on his back or something, but no, she was just looking for something, and then, she pulled her hand back.
When she opened it to see what she had found, she saw that she had a small blue diamant in her hand.
then she turned Giles around again.
"Well, Rupert, thanks for the gift, now, I'll see you in hell!" she raised her hands that both had knives instead of fingernails now and she stabbed him, but he still wasn't dead, then she, slowly, ran the knives across his face, taring it appart, still, he wasn't dead.
Then, it looked like she was possessed or something, cause she started to stab him like a mad man, and when she was finally finished, he was having his last breath and he finally died, but his body wasn't even a body anymore, as soon as he died, his body fell to pieces, as it looked like he was cut to little pieces, just as she wanted him to look like.

"Oh, by the way, the name's Red X." she laughed and walked away, trough the next wall, and the next, and the next, and so on and so on...
