Tony was starting to get scared. He had thought he would take this woman 
back to his hotel room and relieve some of the built up sexual tension that 
he had gathered from watching Buffy and Willow grooving on the dance floor. 
It was his last night in Sunnydale before the team left for Atlanta 
tomorrow, his last shot to get in a night of good
loving before the coach cracked down on them for the last six months before 
the Summer Olympics. And with the way he had been feeling when he left the 
Bronze, he was due for some.
But the woman had tricked him into this alley, where she had promptly thrown 
him up against the wall, holding him in place by one taloned hand. He could 
feel the fingernails digging into his skin, little pinpricks of pain searing 
into his throat as he looked up into
deep black eyes. ?Wh-What are you doing? Why are you doing this??

The woman smiled at him, no humor shining from the black pits that were her 
eyes. ?Because I?m hungry.? She said, looking at him like he was Happy 
Meal. ?And you look tasty.? She shifted into a demonic visage, showing him 
her razor sharp teeth as she smiled at him.
?Wh-what are you?? He asked, hearing his voice squeek with fear. He 
couldn?t help it, he?d never seen anything so hideously ugly, yet so 
remarkably beautiful in all his life, and his brain couldn?t quite deal with 
the difference in perception.
She didn?t answer him, just continued smiling that lethal grin, while moving 
in on her intended target...his neck. He knew this was it...this was the 
end of his life..and the thought paralyzed him with fear. He had many 
regrets. Never completing his training. Never competing at the Olympics. 
Never finding as remarkable a love as he had seen with
Buffy and Willow. But those regrets wouldn?t do him any good now.

?Don?t you think I?d make a more tasty snack?? He was hallucinating...he 
had to be, because he thought he had just heard Buffy?s voice coming from in 
back of the monster that held him. He didn?t have time to contemplate the 
thought however, because before he
knew what was happening, he was being flung through the air towards where he 
had heard Buffy?s voice coming from.
?Oomph.? The person made a sound as he landed on them, but he didn?t have 
long to rest before he was thrown a second time, although a little more 
gently into a pile of garbage. He couldn?t see much, and he wasn?t sure he 
wanted to, but he could clearly hear the sounds of a fight. It continued 
for long moments that seemed to go on forever, and then he
heard as well as felt somebody hit the brick wall beside him. An echoing 
laugh carried down the alley, sending shivers down his spine. ?I?ll be 
seeing you again, Slayer.?
Not long after that, he felt an arm grab him and haul him up to his feet. 
Upon regaining his balance, he looked around disoriented until he 
encountered Buffy?s frustrated face. ?Come on. I need to collect Wills, and 
then we?re leaving. You?ll be safer back at the hotel.?
?Wait a minute.? He said, dragging his arm out Buffy?s grasp. ?What?s 
going on here? I just got attacked by some...thing...and she?s standing 
there calm, cool and collected like nothing ever happened. What gives?? 
She had to be the one that had fought it, nobody but
the two of them stood there in that alley. And what had that strange thing 
called her...Slayer?
Buffy crossed her arms over her chest and waited patiently.

?What the hell was that?! And what the hell is a Slayer?!? Tony asked, 
demanding an answer.
?That was a vampire.? She answered quite simply.

?A vampire?? He asked, not knowing if he was the one that was going crazy, 
or she was.
?Yeah...you know...Bram Stoker? Dracula? Anne Rice?? She said 
sarcastically, hunting around for some reference that would make sense to 
him.
?Are you trying to tell me that...that...thing...is a vampire?? Tony asked, 
his eyes wide in disbelief.
?In a word.? ?Yes.? Buffy said, staring at him as if she expected him not 
to think she had just flipped her lid. ?Now can we go? I don?t like to 
leave Willow alone in the Bronze that long.? You just never knew what could 
happen.
?No...wait a second. What?s a Slayer...and why did she just call you that??

Buffy sighed, and straightened as she looked at him. ?A Slayer is somebody 
who kills...in my case vampires. A vampire Slayer...someone who hangs 
around in cemeteries.?
Tony was having enough trouble wrapping his mind around the fact that 
vampires really existed, and now this strange woman was telling him that she 
actually went around killing the things? ?Does Willow know?? He asked, 
wondering if she really did all that she said she did, or if she really was 
just plain crazy.
Buffy sighed, shaking her head. ?Of course, Willow knows. She?s my wife. 
She knows everything...even helps me once in a while.? Buffy said glibly, 
enjoying watching his face turn white.
?But that?s dangerous...she could get hurt...and she?s pregnant. Just how 
did she get pregnant anyhow??
?Now...you?re getting personal.? Buffy objected, taking him by the arm and 
leading him towards the Bronze. He was amazed to discover just how strong 
she really was. He had felt it a little when she had thrown him of course, 
but it hadn?t really registered on him then. Now, as she dragged him to the 
club, it did.
