A Dark Future Part 4

"What the?" Catherine exclaimed as she was jumped after leaving the Bronze. It seemed like a man only it was much too strong.

Suddenly she was covered in dust as that weird guy who had called her the "chosen one" stood over her with a wooden stake in hand. "Now are you inclined to believe me?" he asked calmley.

"Okay, what exactly happened?!" Catherine asked clearly upset.

"Those were vampires and they turn to dust when they get a wooden stake in their heart. If you are looking to doubt me fine but remember if they had been human there would be a dead body here." the guy mentioned pointing to where the vampire had been but had been replaced with a small pile of dust.

"Would you care to explain this whole thing to me as I walk home?" Cat asked having calmed down considerably with the thought that maybe the guy was right.

As they walked the guy whose name was David explained exactly what the situation was. She was in his words "the slayer, the one girl who can stand against the darkness." which certainly sounded ominous when she thought about it. David was "the watcher' which apparently meant that he would train her and advise her on fighting "the darkness" whatever that was. They soon got within sight of her home.

"Well I guess I will see you tomorrow for the training then?" Cat stated questioningly.

"Yes after school tommorow your training will commence." David replied.

***Meanwhile in a deserted warehouse in Sunnydale***

"It is certainly great to be home again isn't it dear?" Buffy asked her undead love.

"That it is my queen," Angel said coming up beside her and planting a kiss on her cheek. "But then what would the Hellmouth be without the two most dangerous vampires on the planet."

"Darling," Buffy asked after returning the kiss. "Are you sure none of the others are out there tonight? I mean I want to run into the new slayer first. I also want her scared when she finds out about how the watchers defend only their own interests. I would hate to have spent those four hours torturing that watcher to get the location of the slayer to have gone to waste."

"No Buffy," Angel started "Anya and Xander went into that bedroom over there and haven't come out. Willow is watching Oz as tonight is the start of the full moon and no one wants a vampire/werewolf on the streets. If it wasn't so late I would say that we go out and meet the people."

"Unfortunately love," Buffy returned. "It is too late and besides we all had take out tonight anyways." She said pointing to the dead Pizza delivery boy and dead chinese takeout delivery guy.
