Mission:
Sunnydale, A new Darkness
Location: Sunnydale Mall
Timeline: Before the wake
Buffy and Willow had nothing to wear for the wake that evening. The gang was going to the Bronze to celebrate the life of Buffy's little sister, Dawn. Well, she was like everyone's little sister really, so after the horrible day so far they were having a little retail therapy. The Sunnydale Mall was the place and clothing, accessories, shoes, and makeup was on the list. "What first Will?" Buffy asked she was trying her best not to be sad. She hadn't seen her best friend in a while and the reason wasn't good.
"How about shoes? Shoes are always good to have." Will smirked pointing to the Payless down the way. Though as they started in that direction Buffy would notice that some of the stores had mirrors behind the mannequins and that one couple would go by only the guy was showing in the reflection.
"Shoes are" she didn't finish noticing something interesting and nudged Willow "Will look" she gave a slight nod toward the storefront.
"What see something... oh," Willow said realizing what Buffy was actually pointing her to. "Duty calls?" She asked with an arched brow ready to help.
"Do you think she has any clue?" Buffy asked as the two started walking behind the couple.
Willow pat Buffy on the shoulder knowing that she was still grieving the loss of her sister. "Well, I think she has some idea, though maybe not that you're in town, however, I think her boyfriend is clueless to the fact that he's with a vampire," Willow told Buffy.
"I guess shopping will have to wait" she looked over at her bestie "now we follow vamp girl" she pointed and rolled her eyes.
"Well, at least we won't be bored." Willow agreed as the two followed the vampire girl and her unsuspecting meal. Though it's hard to find a quiet place in the only mall that resides within Sunnydale California the vamp chick managed to do just that and was planning a little nibble.
"Guess it's still the same old, new Sunnydale" she rolled her eyes and followed the couple through a door that leads down a semi-lit hallway. She guessed it must lead to offices or maintenance or something.
They got there in time to see reveal her true nature and intention. "Clypeus!" Willow said and a shield formed between the young man and the vampire about to make a meal out of him. "Buffy, your turn!" Willow told her friend needing to concentrate on the shield she was holding.
The vampire turned and faced the duo "you die witch" she said and charged toward Willow growling.
"Not if I can help it," Buffy said bringing up her right leg in a roundhouse kick. The kick landed against the vamp's head making her stumble back a few feet.
Willow moved to the young man, "Go run!" She yelled at him releasing him from the shield. She still wasn't a great fighter so leaving the vamp to Buffy was the best thing for now.
The vampire growled and moved in to fight back kicking Buffy in the stomach to send her back a bit before punching her in the face with her right hand.
All that did was piss Buffy off and she came up swinging. An uppercut to the vamps chin, causing her to stumble back a few steps and the slayer quickly landed several quick punches.
While they fought Willow grabbed Buffy's bag and dug out a stake, "Buffy!" She called tossing it to her friend while the Vamp was off guard.
Catching the stake and landing it in the vamp's chest in one fluid motion Buffy turned to Willow and smiled "shoes?" she asked brushing the dust off her sleeve.
"Shoes." Willow grinned as they started back towards shopping.
