Part Eight
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vinnie liked Carlo. Sure he was mean to him sometimes, but Carlo made sure no one else was. Carlo let him go with him everywhere, made sure he always had a place to wait out the day light hours, and kept him safe from the Slayer. Vinnie saw her once, and although he thought she was pretty, he hoped he'd never see her again.
Vinnie sighed wistfully when he thought of all the toys the little people were making. He liked toys and wished he could try some out. But Carlo said that they weren't for him to screw around with. He was there to keep an eye on the creatures making them.
A scream rang out in the cannery and Vinnie jumped. He shivered and wondered what the boss had stashed away in that room. But Carlo said it was none of his business, and he should know, Carlo was the smart one.
"I just hope that whatever is in that room isn't as dangerous as the Slayer."

"Esqueeze me?" Xander blinked at Elisa, he was sure he heard her wrong. They had just arrived at the designated spot, about a block from the building Willow told them the elves were being held in. "Are you saying we have a loony-toon Vampire loose who thinks he's Santa?"
"Is it so hard to believe Xan? We've met crazies before."
"Yeah, but they never thought they were Jolly Saint Nick."
Buffy grinned, "No, but I wouldn't be surprised if Dru thought she was the tooth fairy." The Slayer turned to Elisa and Goliath; "Dru is one half of a Vampire duo we have problems with now and then. She doesn't play with a full set of marbles, if you get my drift. They're smarter than your average pale face tho, which makes it difficult to get rid of them."
Goliath nodded, "We have had similar situations with the darker element in New York."
Xander started to ask the big gargoyle about New York when Buffy heard the faint sounds of company. She turned to find Willow and the rest of the gang.
Giles turned to Angel and asked, "This is where you saw them?"
"Inside. He has two vampires guarding the entrance."
"Sounds too easy," Buffy bit her bottom lip.
"I agree. Whatever the case may be its plain we need to be cautious. He's obviously a powerful Vampire with the control he seems to have over the elves." The question is how he is doing it. Giles added to himself.
Elisa turned to Goliath, "You've had some contact with Avalon and Magic. Do you have any idea how he could have done this?"
"Its possible he got his hands on a Grimorium that contains a control spell. However its not likely that it would be powerful enough to work on such a large number of creatures."
Before the discussion continued on to how the Vampire could have accomplished what he had, Buffy returned their attention to their present situation. Using the knowledge the teenagers had of the area, Goliath described his proposed attack plan.

Jacob pranced around the room in his new clothes. The elves he had assigned to their making had finished them just a matter of minutes ago. Everything he now desired was within his grasp. In a short amount of time he had acquired three of the four things he needed. He turned to his left and before him lay what appeared to be a pile of rags and chains. He spoke to it; " I want some reindeer."
"The bundle shifted and among the rags a face appeared. It stared up at the Vampire, hatred clearly evident in its stony gaze. "And…"
"And, you will get them for me."
The rags shifted some more and the face rose, attached to a tall lithe body. Titania, Queen of the Fairies stood and regarded Jacob. "I can't do that."
"Why not?"
Ever defiant, she answered, "Because they don't exist you fool. That's why not."
"But I want reindeer and I want them now! Now! Now! NOW!" The stamp of his foot punctuated each word.
Titania raised one finely arched eyebrow. This display she was now witnessing was nothing like the on just moments ago when he nearly killed her by ringing his small silver bell. She had to find a way to be free of him and she had to find it fast.
"I can't just pull them out of thin air you know. It just doesn't work like that."
Jacob raised his spell book above his head, with his free hand he pointed at Titania "I command you to summon reindeer."
Titania shuddered, wrapping her arms around herself in pain. "I told you, I can't! You can only force me to do things I'm capable of."
The Vampire advanced on her, forcing her back against the wall. He pulled his tiny silver bell from his coat and held it just inches away from her face. It was so close she could feel its taint reaching out to her. "He's crazy" She thought, "He's completely crazy and going to kill me. And for all my power, there isn't anything I can do."
