Bray sat down on the couch next to Buffy and looked at Giles a little confused "Aren't you the librarian?" Giles pulled off his glasses and pressed the bridge of his nose "Yes..Bu.But this is impossible.. one Girl in all the world.." he grabbed a book off of his shelf and handed it to Bray, it had the word "Vampyre" on the front of it.
"Wh..Whats happening to me? Who is this Travers guy and whats the Council.." he looked at Buffy and then to the book, opening it slowly he read. Buffy and Giles went into the kitchen and let Bray read, there was alot he was to understand, alot he needed to know..
"Giles how?... HOW? i mean, sure i died... and i came back thanks to Xander. But.. he's.. he's a he!" Buffy slouched against the wall and pouted "Im supposed to be special Slayer Gal'"
"Buffy i know this is confusing and hard, but we have to accept it, from what you told me about Bray's sister and your dream, it would seem that somehow his sisters essence.. the essence of the slayer was passed onto him.. its quite astounding.. No wonder the council wanted him... but god knows what they would do with him.." Giles looked at the young boy and sighed "I think it best if he and you talked Buffy... he needs a friend and you possibly know how he feels the most" Giles put his hand on Buffy's shoulder.
Bray closed the book and put it on the table and looked up at Buffy "So.. vampires are real..and..i...slay....them?" Bray asked, pausing and frowning.
"We. Slay." Buffy sat on the sofa next to him and leaned back "So much for the chosen one eh?" Bray said with a small smile on his face
"I think what would be best Buffy.. for the two of you infact would be to take Bray out on patrol tonight. Since it'd been moderately quiet it could be a good time to show him the ropes, yes?" Giles sat on the arm rest of the sofa next to Buffy and nodded "I have plenty of equipment here for you Bray" Giles added, walking over and opening the chest beside the bookshelf and handing him a Stake.
"So.. im guessing stake in the heart? like in the movies?" Bray looked at the stake, small.. sharp and light, he placed it on his lap and looked at Buffy.
"Sure... just be careful when we're out alright?" the slayer said, she smiled at Bray as he fingered the cross around his neck "and i see you have a cross, score one for the home team!" Buffy smiled and stood, Bray stood aswell and tucked the stake into his pocket. Giles gave them his usual "be very careful" speech and they left, the time now was around 10pm as they headed towards the cemetary.
"so.. i read that one GIRL in all the world is the slayer... i'm, well... not a girl" Bray chuckled as he said that and looked at Buffy
"Giles seems to think somehow your sisters death when you were both inside the womb, had something to do with it.. somehow..i think.?" She frowned and then just smiled again
"Ok.. well.. its.. cool maybe?" Bray pulled open the gate to the cemetary and follow Buffy inside "So we just walk around.. wait till something jumps us?"
Buffy turned and pulled Bray towards her as she flicked in front of him and used the momentum to roundhouse a vamp in the face, the vamp growled and stood, and ran again at Buffy, she backhanded the vamp and he spun, and used that force to backhand Buffy, she fell and the vamp smirked and walked towards Bray “So the slayer has a new pet..” Bray backed up against a crypt wall and looked around and pulled the stake out of his pocket slowly.
“Wh..What?…” Bray looked around nervously “Buffy…Ahh…” Bray looked at the vamp with wide eyes as it grabbed him around the neck, he kicked it in the gut and the vamp stumbled back, Buffy was just getting up and the vamp turned towards her, Bray had a billion things running through his mind, it was like something inside him clicked, he narrowed his eyes on the vampire and ran forward and tackled him to the ground rolling on the ground over and over, punching the vamp in the face a couple of times, they rolled backwards and forwards in a scuffle and Buffy went to stake the vamp but hesitated, she couldn’t get a clear stab and was worried she might get Bray accidentally.
Bray squirmed under the vamp and grabbed a hold of its shoulders, head butting the vamp and kicking it up off of him, suddenly the vamp stopped in its tracks and looked at Bray “Oh shi…” the vamp dusted and Buffy was standing behind him “You ok?” she asked as she looked around making sure no more nasties would be coming there way.
“I’m fine” Bray smiled and brushed off the dirt from his clothes “So I’m guessing for future reference its, Kick, Punch, Stab” he made a stabbing sign with his stake and looked at Buffy questioningly
“Yeh” she laughed “pretty much the same as that” Buffy started walking more further into the cemetery with Bray, they chatted some more about being the slayer, Buffy shared what had happened with the Master and then reassured bray he wasn’t coming back.. ever..
“So this… master guy, he was powerful wasn’t he?” Bray said as he sat down on top of a headstone and sucked on the lollypop that the Buffster had given him. Buffy looked and nodded as she sat cross-legged on a concrete grave opposite him “it’s weird.. he was – then he wasn’t, it was like whatever power he had over me disappeared” she nodded towards Bray “and then Poof.. you came along, I think its pretty safe to say ‘yay team’ on our part” she smiled and shifted her feet down off the small crypt and twisted her neck as if that would relieve the unsettled feeling she had that something was wrong “Do you feel that?” Buffy said she walked towards Bray, he looked at her and suddenly the earth below them started to judder and shake, the both held onto the headstone Bray had been sitting on and when it stopped they looked around assessing the damage.
“earthquake..” Buffy huffed under her breath as she stood, brushing away some strands of hair from her face.
The cemetery looked ok, a couple of the crypts were cracked and some of the roofs have fallen in but apart from that there was no real damage, The decided to walk back to Giles place and make sure he was alright, and call the rest of the gang from then and see if they were all A.O.K, They both seemed wigged out about something, and they both knew one and other could feel it. Buffy looked around and she knew something was up. She could feel a cold tingle that she hadn’t felt since well..since the Master had bitten her, like the cold touch of death was still there, she veered them across to a paved road and continued walking at a faster-than-usual pace. She then saw it, her face going bone white…
Ten Minutes Beforehand:
He felt… He slowly opened his eyes and felt the cold sting of a worm running over his eyeball, dirt, everywhere there was dirt. The clawed hands burned as they pulled through the surface of the dirt that had been blessed and laced with holy water, he felt fresh air, fresh warm Californian air, and the power of Boca Del Infernio the freedom of it all. Standing up he looked around, how long had he been gone? Since that pesky slayer had robbed him from his destiny and thrown him down, cast him into hell. Hell… oh he wanted that so much. He smirked and laughed “Ho korias phanaytie toutay... tay nuktee, and the world will be cast into darkness.. “
The Master laughed and put his hands to the sky, the earth beneath him shaking violently and the tree behind where he was buried splits down the middle.
