Legal Stuff: Buffy the Vampire Slayer concept & characters (Buffy, Angel, Oz, Willow, Cordelia, Xander, Giles, Drusilla & Kendra) are tm & (c) Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, and basically belong to them, Joss Whedon, The WB Television Network and Mutant Enemy (Rrrr...Argh...). They were created by Joss Whedon, and I have absolutely nothing to do with it (wish I did). Atherlae is an otherwise original work that is (c) Fox Lee 1999, (yours truly). Any similarity between events in this story and in real life (yeah, that happened to ME and MY vampire boyfriend just the other day!) is purely coincidental and unintended (so deal with it). If you like this story and want it posted on your page, lack of frequent e-mail access prompts me to say 'feel free - in fact, please do', so long as you don't edit any bits and you make sure my name's on it along with this message. If you do re-post it, please e-mail me to let me know.

Timespan: This would either have to take place before Angel turned evil again, or after his return (he ain't back yet in Australia...*SOB*...). I began writing it just after the episode "Ted". Please note that I can't be held responsible for any inaccuracies that I wasn't aware of at this point, and that I've only actually seen about five or six episodes (not including the comics or what I've read on the Internet). What I'm trying to say is if I've screwed up, don't be too disgusted (but e-mail me and tell me so I don't embarrass myself too much!).
E-mail: Compliment me, criticize me, yell at me, insult me...heck, I don't care. The place to send it all is cyberslayerfox@yahoo.com. If that doesn't work properly (it ain't my fault) try fox_lee@hotmail.com.
Gimmicky promo stuff (!!!!!): Keep an eye out for my second Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanfic, There Can Be Only One, in which a summer adventure camp and a mysterious girl tied to Angel's past cause some serious trouble for the Slayer and her friends. Also, a decidedly out-of-the-ordinary school dance in A Night To Remember. Coming soon from Cyberslayer (hey, that's me!).
Oh, by the way: If you've got this story on your page and would like a decent-looking html version with groovy graphics, decent fonts, formatting etc. (I REALLY hate .txt files), please contact me.

Part Seven

Giles watched, quite concerned. It wasn't the first time he had seen her in a mood like this, but it was definitely the most intense. Normally, she balanced herself evenly between being Buffy and being the Slayer - she had never really regarded them as the one person. But when something got her this angry, when somebody she loved as much as Angel was in such danger, all traces of Buffy Summers, high school teen girl, were instantly gone. And what she had seen earlier had changed her. She was one-hundred-percent Slayer as she rained a hail of vicious blows on the battered punching bag.
"When I find out what that thing was, you know what I'm going to do to it?" she asked, her voice a little wilder, a little more shrill than usual, as she pounded the unfortunate bag.
"Much the same thing as you are to your training equipment?" he asked.
"I'm gonna make it wish we had killed it that night," she replied, sounding quite bloodthirsty, and spun to deliver a painful-looking sidekick. "And it had better not plan on breeding any time in the near future, I tell you that!"
"Buffy, why don't you - "
"I'm going back to the park tonight," she continued, totally ignoring him. "I'm gonna look for its trail. No matter what it takes, I'm gonna find that son-of-a-bitch wolf thingy and dismember it!"
Giles sighed. He watched as Buffy delivered a final, violent blow, and then stood back in surprise as her punching bag suddenly burst open at the seams.
"Damn," she snarled, then brightened. "Hey Giles, you wanna practice body throws?"
"Not really," he replied. Then, he rose and walked over to her. "Buffy, maybe you should take some more time before you go running off on the trail of some unidentified beast. We simply can't risk what happened to Angel happening to you."
"We don't have time, Giles!" she snapped. "Have you seen Angel?! I've got to do something!"
"I know, Buffy. Believe me, I understand how you feel. I'm just not sure that rushing headlong into unknown danger is the best way to start!"
"Oh, yeah? And what would you suggest I do?"
"I suggest you calm down and take it easy. Tomorrow, we're taking a closer look at the search results. It can't take all that long, surely."
"Tomorrow," she ran to the gym's door. "Great. You do that."
"Buffy - "
"Meanwhile, I'm gonna take a nice walk in the park."
