"Geez, and then Buffy ran off?" asked Willow curiously. The Sunnydale High library seemed so cold and empty knowing that Giles wasn't there.
Xander answered with a nod. Willow's look of distress brought the comforting arm of Oz.
"I went after her, but she being the superhero Slayer girl and all she took off like the Flash," Cordelia further answered.
"Um, did Principal Snyder care that we missed the rest of the school day?" asked Xander in an attempt to change the subject.
"No, he found some other students to be anal retentative with and seemed to forget about you guys," replied Oz.
"What do we do now?" wondered Cordelia.
Xander began, "What can we do? We're just the Slayerettes, we'll just have to wait for-"
"Buffy!" greeted Xander.
"Where have you been?" Willow questioned.
"Taking an afternoon stroll to sort things out. I've been quite the strolling girl lately," explained Buffy.
She continued, "I'm sorry to have to skip the small talk, but if no one minds I'd like to get at slaying this necromancer of ours."
"But, Giles-" started Willow.
"Giles will have to deal with his own issues. We'll take care of saving the world without him," interrupted Buffy.
"Any luck with the book you were going to scan?" asked Buffy.
"Yeah, actually, it's partly in Old English, but there's a lot of quotations in another strange language. There was reference to a method for creating a vampire from scratch. Well, not completely from scratch. You do need a useable corpse. Anyway, it would explain why that vampire didn't turn to ashes very quickly," Willow said in a knowledgeable fashion.
"How?" wondered Xander.
"Well, the vampires we're used to have been diluted by generations of mixing with the blood of humans. What probably happend is this necromancer created a vampire that wasn't so watered down," explained Willow.
"So that's what I fought with last night?" inquired Buffy.
"Probably not. That was probably just a vampire that was sired by the new one," answered Willow.
"Great, so now we have a whole bloodline of vamps in Sunnydale that stronger, better, and all around nastier," said Xander.
"I'm no expert on fighting the forces of darkness or anything, but wouldn't the best thing to do be slaying this new bad ass vampire before he sires a super race," suggested Oz.
"Sounds good to me," agreed Buffy.
"We can stay and research how to get rid of this necromancer guy while you're out hunting," offered Willow.
"You guys can stay here and do the bookworm thing, I for one think Buffy could use some backup on this one," Xander said valiantly.
"No, you should really go to Giles' place again," quietly said Buffy.
"What happened to letting him deal with his own issues?" questioned Xander.
Buffy looked downward and finally said, "We really do need him."
"And by 'we' you mean you?" asked Xander.
Buffy glanced up then looked away solemnly.
