Chapter eleven: The new Slayer
"Buffy, good your back. I would like you to meet Karen. Karen this is Buffy, and the young lady beside her is Willow. Willow didn't like the way that Karen was looking at her and evidently neither did Buffy as she moved Willow behind her and gave Karen a look that would send any vamp or demon running for their lives. It seemed to work because Karen gave all her attention to Buffy.
"Hey sorry. Didn't mean to step on any toes, it's just that is one fine piece of a-" Karen was cut off by Buffy's warning growl. "Okay this is me backing away."
The Library doors opened revealing Xander. "Hey who's the new girl?"
"Xander, meet Karen, the second Slayer." Answered Giles. Xander moved over to stand beside Buffy and Willow. "Hey guys, I heard you two were late for class."
"And" The word was growled out as if daring him to comment. Xander quickly moved to stand beside Giles knowing that Buffy could get possessive were Willow was involved. Willow moved from behind Buffy to stand beside her and the growl changed to a soft purr.
"Baby, Xander's our friend. He didn't mean anything bad." Buffy's eyes changed from hazel with gold flecks to hazel again and she smiled apologetically at Xander who just raised an eyebrow.
"We really don't have time for this children. Buffy you'd better sit down for this because I have a feeling what I'm about to sat will you will not like one bit." Buffy looking strangely at her Watcher moved to comply when a thought hit her:
"God Giles is Mom okay?" The frantic worry in her voice didn't go unnoticed. "Buffy, your mother is fine. I've been researching the recent earthquake and the horde of demons you fought off. It seems they have nothing to do with apocalypses, which is the good news but..." He trailed off wondering how on earth he was supposed to tell Buffy what he was about to tell her. Standing up he motioned for her to follow him into the office away from the others because he just knew how she was going to take this news.
Giving Willow a reassuring squeeze, Buffy followed her Watcher wondering again what this was all about. "Giles what's this all about? You're freaking me out here." He walked over to the open window letting the breeze calm him before turning to his charge.
"Buffy, those demons were sent by someone. They weren't sent to kill you but capture you." The look of surprise on Buffy's face showed clearly.
"Come on Giles don't go quiet on me now. Who sent them after me?" Taking a deep breath he spoke the one word that had the power to break his Slayer in half. "Angelus" Giles was prepared for Buffy to scream, rant and rave at him but he watched as calmness and determination overtook her features.
