The Slayer

1997 Sunnydale

“Luke, you have been chosen to be my vessel for the harvest” The Master crowed as he drew a symbol on Luke’s forehead.

“I will take great honour and pleasure in killing for you Milord, Darla Come” Luke ordered as he turned to leave.

“No, she will be with me, take your child and the slayers friend along with the ten finest” The master corrected as he sat on his throne.

“Of course My Master” Luke bowed as he stormed off to the quarters for lower vampires.

“Hi I’m Jesse this is my first time out since turning because I was only turned yesterday, what’s your name?” Asked Jesse who was acting like an excited child as they walked the street towards the bronze night-club.

“Names Niko and if you don’t want to be fed to the slayer then you do not talk to me.” Came a Russian accented voice which came from an eighteen year old boy with black hair and coal black eyes clad in a brown leather jacket and denim jeans and brown timberland boots.

“OK but don’t worry, I know the Slayer” This got Niko to glance towards the newbie.

“Don’t let it got to your head you’re not unstakable, Reb Yaach est ve” He smirked as Luke Snapped the neck of the bouncer.

This is it near enough ninety-two years in servitude to the Master working for his release in the harvest and now he was the one that stood between the Slayer and the Vessel, his Sire.

1912 Mid Atlantic

“Captain, Captain” A scared cabin boy ran banging on the door saying captain

“What the bloody hell, I knew I should of left you in Southampton” Came a call from the other side of the door. “Boy whaddaya want” As the door opened a greying man exited the cabin barley dressed and scruffy like he got out of bed.

“Captain Smith, Some things eating the engineers” The boy sobbed as he turned to where he had came from.”

“What” Came the captains reply

“Mr Edward Smith” Came a sinister voice as two figures round the corner of the hall. “Nice boat” The larger figure sneered from the shadows to the smaller one both in poorly tailored outfits.
“ITS CAPTAIN EDWARD JOHN SMITH and you should get back to the poverty deck right now and stop scaring this young lad.” Ranted the captain stepping forward purposefully. He stopped when he saw the light glisten off there faces there disfigured
faces.

“Now Captain” The Smaller one said in his accented tone as he walked towards the captain leaving the tall one to loom menacingly. “the White Star Line of steamer boats stand to lose a substantial amount of money, good publicity and the H.M.S contract if the Titanic sinks and that means my boss’ company which shall remain nameless will stand to gain that contract meaning more money for me” the Russian smiled.

“W...W...Wh…Wh…Wha...What...if…if...if it sinks. No you…you cant they’re not enough life boats” The captain spluttered he was ushered into the cabin as the boy hid under the covers praying for the first time since compulsory religion was extinguished.

“Oh don’t worry you wont be needing a life boat, Niko” The big one said as the Smaller Vampire called Niko sunk his fangs into the neck of the captain of the grandest liner in the world.

“Where is the captain and who sounded the alarm” shouted a man storming into the bridge.

“eerm I did, First officer William Murdoch” A young man who was petrified said “I’m Fredrick Fleet I was in the crows nest when I saw the ice burg.” Fred said as he gestured towards a big ice mountain with the peak sticking out of the water and they’re heading straight for it.

“Contact the engine room immediately tell full power starboard, now” the first mate screamed

“we’ve tried there is no answer it’s like there all dead” came a reply from a ship tech.

“then we’re all doomed”

“Outta my way before I beat you into holy hell” The slayer threatened to Niko. It reminded Niko of that fateful day in Russia where he failed by slaughtering innocents and causing the revolution but Niko just snarled it off as he vamped out and attacked the slayer. He led with a right hook quickly followed by a left uppercut but was effortlessly blocked by Buffy who returned a crescent kick aimed at the vampires head but he ducked underneath her leg and as he rose he got caught by a left hand of the slayer to the jaw, he tried to shake it but Buffy launched him onto the pool table. She quickly grabbed a pool cue and went to smack the downed vampire but Niko caught it and pulled the cue towards him then pushed it away to send the slayer flying, As she flipped up he planted a kick to her stomach and as he reached down to retrieve her Buffy leg sweeped him to the floor then gave him a sharp right footed kick to render him unconscious. Leaving The Slayer versus The Vessel.

1970 Viet Cong

“The Americans are coming, the Americans are coming” came a young Vietnamese solider running down a dark tunnel towards a command post.

“Damn Americans” An aged woman said in an Russian accent “Vietnam must fall so Russia can win” she pleaded to a group of Vietnamese Generals

“No, Commandant Nomak we will leave and defend the people and you can tell Russia it can lose for all we care.” Came a reply from the one with the most stars over his heart. As they left with the solider a blast went off leaving a hole in the bunker and two figures emerged one larger than the other.

“Commandant Nomak, Don’t fret I knew your mother as well as being a fellow Russian.” Said the smaller of the two. The relief in the old Womans eyes grew but then faded as there faces came into the light. “Calm down Klara you die with honor unlike your whore of a mother” His voice became harsh at the mention of General Liliya Nomak.

“America needs to survive for the Master to live on so Russian interference must cease.” The big one said then nodded to Niko as he launched his fangs at her throat.

Niko awoke to see his sire crumble to dust and the slayer turn to the crowd. As he and the other vampires ran his first though was ‘Damn’ his sire was dead but then he thought ‘I’m Free’ that brought a smile to his face as he stopped running towards the graveyard and ran towards the bus station ‘Finally’ was Niko’s last thought as he got on a bus to LA.
