A young dark haired girl,walked silently in the shadows. Behind her, somthing stirred in the bushes making her turn quickly to find herself face, to face with a vampire. The vampire then took the advantage and threw a punch right at her face, knocking her to the ground. The girl quickly retaliated and kicked the vampires feet from under it. Then taking advantage of his moment of weakness she plunged a stake right through his dead, unbeating heart.
" That's the fifth one tonight." She said to herself . " Wow, Angel would be so proud. " She continued.
The girl walked on, her black boots making footprints in the fresh mud. Through the darkness she saw a shadow pass across a gravestone. Think it to be a demon or vampire she followed quickly and silently. As she approached the figure she realized it wasn't a demon.
" Vampire." She said under her breath, but that was just enough.
The figure turned at the sound. Revealing himself to be a ruggadly handsome male, tall and not at all pasty pale. The mysterious girl flew out of the shadows, her foot came in contact with the guys chest. The man fell backwards from the force of the impact.
" Don't worry, I don't bite. " The man's voice was soft, and mysterious.
" Oh really? And why should I believe that?" The girl asked in a hushed, annoyed tone.
" Because I'm on your side." He replied.
" Again, why should I believe that?" She said once more.
" Fine, don't believe me. " He said getting up and brushing himself off. " So, your the slayer?"
" No, I just like to beat up random guys on the street." She said sarcasticlly.
" Hey, you never know. " He said shrugging. " Anyway, I thought you'd have bigger muscles or somthing, I mean your smaller than the last couple of slayers."
" Was that a compliment, or an insult? I'm not quite clear."
" Well then let's just restart this whole conversation, after the you kicking me part. " He said running his hand through his lengthy brown dusty hair. " I'm Connor, Not a vampire. " He added hastily.
She sighed as he introduced himself. " I'm Dawn. " She said simply, tucking a flyaway peice of her chestnut brown hair behind her ear.
" Well Dawn, what are you doing out here all alone in the cememtary?" He asked suddenly.
" Why do you care?" She then asked harshly.
" Wow, your a little jumpy tonight, aren't ya?"
" No, I just don't like people asking me stupid questions. You obviously know why I'm here." She replied, getting fed up with this strager she walked past him in search of more vampires, or at least a few demons.
" Ah." He said following her.
" What do you want anyways?" She asked irritated.
" The same thing as you do." He said stopping along beside her.
This is sounding vaugely familar. I swear Buffy told me about a conversation like this. She thought remembering a conversation her and Buffy had, had.
" Oh ya, what do I want?" She asked.
" To kill them. Every last one." He replied.
" Wrong, " She said whipping around to face him. " What I want is to have a normal life. I don't want to have to keep secrets like this, from my friends." She said turning back and begining to walk away again.
" Dawn wait." She turned back around at the sound of her name.
" What?" She asked in an irritated tone. He then threw somthing at her.
When she caught it she realized it was a crimson velvet box. She looked back up with a questioning look. But by the time her eyes reached where he had once stood, there was nothing but darkness.
She opened the box, inside was a beautiful Claddagh ring. Also in the box were the instruction's of how it goes on. Circled was the one that meant, taken. Though she took no note and put it on the way it should be for a single girl.
Suddenly, from out of nowhere a fist came flying through the air coming in contact with her face and sending her flying sideways, on her right arm, right through a gravestone. She quickly stood up but lost her balance as the searing pain in her arm took over.
The figure took advatage of her moment of weakness and held her to the ground. She struggled to get free, but without the use of her right arm, he was to strong.
" Calm down." Came a familar male voice.
" Gunn?" She asked questioningly.
" Ya. " He said in a whisper.
" Does anyone else know your here? And why did you hit me?" She asked.
" No, noone knows, and noone can know." He said hesitantly." And I hit you so you wouldn't run away when I tell you why."
" Why would I run away?"
" I don't know. "
" Tell me, why can't anyone know your back?"She pressed getting up as he got up, cradling her broken arm while listening.
His face then changed. His forehead was covered in bumpies, his eyes yellow, and little white pointy teeth jutted out from his mouth. A frightened looked washed upon Dawn's face.
" But, I'm like Angel, omit the curse part of the soul having. "
" W-what, how did this happen?" She asked.
" I was in a fight with some high and mighty vamp, I got the pointy end of the teeth."
" But your good still. So that's good."
" Yes, please don't tell anyone. I'll tell them when I'm ready to." He pleaded.
" Okay, but don't get staked, keep in touch, and don't hit me next time. " She said sternly.
" Okay,I guess I can agree to those terms. " He said sighing. " I have to go before anyone sees me." He said in a hurried tone. He then rushed into the darkness and disappeared.
" Bye." She whispered into the black of the night.
