Distribution: If you want it take it
The kids were told to come directly to the Magic Box immediately after school. Will walked somewhat ahead of Alexis, to gain the illusion that he was independent of her.
"Are we in some kind of trouble?" Alexis cringed when her brother whirled around at her.
"If we are its all your fault! I'm tired of hearing about shit because of you!" She started crying at her his hateful words. Deep down he didn't care, but he knew that if he didn't get her together before they walked into the shop, that Mom and Dad would rip him a new one. His hatred for his sister built more and more every day, and now he was starting High School, and she was still attached to him, getting into everything he does. After a few minutes he managed to settle her down enough so that they could make their grand appearance.
When they walked in, all the Scoobies looked up at them, all with straight serious faces. Will's stomach lurched, he didn't like what he was heading into.
"Alexis could you lock the door and the both of you sit down." She did as she was told and followed her brother.
Giles looked at Buffy, regretting what he was about to tell his own children. She squeezed at his arm encouraging him onward. He let out a deep sigh, "Right." He mustered up the strength again, for the topic coming. "The reason why your mother doesn't stay home at nights…"
Will broke, "Is because she's out chasing Vampires and demons."
Giles looked up surprised.
"Don't look so shocked Dad. After 14 years you can pick up on things. Let alone the nightmares," Buffy looked at Giles at the mention of nightmares, fearing that her own has spilled out into them. "Also there is the link that still sort of exists."
Everyone's eyes widened by that admission.
With that out on both sides, the tension eased a little. "It would be a good idea to teach you how to kill and protect yourselves from the things that go bump in the night. So you will go through the same training as I taught your mother."
"Why did you train mom?"
Rupert took off his glasses as he tried to proceed with answering his daughter's question. He sat down next to her, "Your Mother," He looked at Buffy and then back at Alexis, "Is what is called a Vampire Slayer. Into every Generation a Slayer is born. We have been quite fortunate thus far; your Mom has died twice and is still here, but putting that aside. I was in England taking up training to become a Watcher, that person trains and, well, watches the Slayer and aids her."
"Don't knock it, cause check it out. I'm still here. Besides you will start wanting to go out with your friends and I wouldn't feel good about letting you go without knowing if you're safe or not. So starting today you two will go through the same training I have."
****************
Will sat in the back alley practicing magic he was banned from doing, nothing fancy, but still nerve-wracking.
"Well hello there."
Will sized up the man who invaded his alley, he looked old enough to be his father, hell he even spoke the same way. "Who the hell are you?"
He looked positively shocked that the lad didn't know of him. He looked at the young boy, he was striking image of Ripper at his age. "My dear boy, I'm Ethan Rayne."
Will backed slowly way, "Oh come now, look at my age, do you really think I can do any harm. Besides I can show you the things you want."
"Which is?"
"I know your heart much like your father's at your age. I can show you deeper magics, then what they are teaching you. I can teach you to control the evil forces and make them work for you."
The younger man's attention grew, "Teach me. And I won't tell my parents you're here. No tricks. Real magic." The older man nodded in compliance.
6 weeks later
The demonic activity had risen and sharply decreased for a time, but as quick
as it dropped all hell broke loose.
Will ran as fast as he could to his parents, he couldn't hold back anymore. What he conjured has now broken from his control. Egyhon was now loose about the populous and with a stable host. He didn't know how he was going to get out of his predicament without their help
"You let who teach you what????!!!!!!" Will's father fumed, "Ethan Rayne is the most…" he was cut short by his wife.
"Not now. We have stop Egyhon, again."
"What do you mean again?"
Rupert held back for a second till he was urged onward. He explained everything including his involvement in raising this particular demon when he was younger. And how they banished it when it showed up in Sunnydale. It was supposed to be dead. So there must be an imposter on the loose. He consulted his books while Buffy tried to call Alexis at her friends' house, but was told she left earlier.
"I'm running out, I got to find Alexis."
"Do be careful." He smiled unsteadily at her.
"I'll go with."
Giles yelled at him, "You will stay here and help me research whatever it is that you brought up, understood?"
~*~*~*~
It was hours later and Buffy had not returned home yet. Will began to worry about his mother, so when he was dismissed to go to bed, he slipped out the window to search for her.
Buffy awoke as the door opened and her son was shoved through. "Ethan!!!" she seethed through clenched teeth. "I'll kill you."
"Somehow I doubt that, with you being as you are and your son not quite so adept at the art magic. Quite pathetic actually. Ripper was so much better at his age. Lucky you for though, I'll let you go once I've been sent to do."
"And what's that?"
The demon chose that moment to show again. "Oh meet Karwon, he's quite the actor." The demon morphed from the Egyhon guise to its true form. The hideous beast stood with all 5 eyes staring at them, smirking, its blue skin excreting something vile smelling. "Don't worry your pretty blonde hair about it. Ripper will be coming for you soon, but he'll be coming to a different you." He chuckled lightly. "He's quite the powerful mage, they can use him in hell." He spun on his heels laughing as Buffy yanked on the chains struggling to get free to warn her husband and the pitiful cries as her son yelled against the unyielding door.
~*~*~*~
"Dad! Dad! You gotta come, she's in trouble." His son yanked on him.
"Who's in trouble and what were you doing out?" His brows furrowed angry against disobeying him.
"Its Mom, Ethan's got her."
"Dear god!" Giles grabbed a few items and let Will lead him to her. They hurried into the empty warehouse, where they stood for a few minutes in silence. Confusion took hold, then realization. "Get out of here it's a trap!"
"That's right. For you." The boy changed form and Giles was attacked from all sides and then it was dark.
Rupert woke to prodding and found himself being poked at by two trushlic demons,
not much of a danger just curious and a bit of troublemakers often mistaken
for gremlins in WWII. As he cautiously moves about, he finds that he must rely
on his skills of dark magic and swordsmanship to survive in this hellish reality.
Unfortunately for him though months has passed and finding a way home gets
scarcer and scarcer as the days go.
"Look at him." She motioned outward. "I must have him!"
"My lady, He is a powerful mage…" He felt his insides incinerate before there was nothing more of him.
"Well, if you want something right." She approached the mortal warily. Rupert noticed the movement and had weapon drawn. "Still, sweet mage. I'm not here to offer battle, but aid."
He huffed, "Aid? Somehow I doubt that. Why would you want to help me? I don't buy it."
She tilted her head to the side, similar to what he's seen Buffy do from occasion, extending a hand out, "I'm Tiilein."
He stood hesitant for a moment and took her hand. Feeling rushed through him and all thoughts of going home banished immediately. She smiled to herself, <too easy.>
He grabbed at her forcefully, "Listen to me Bitch-demon, don't fuck with me again." Forcibly pressing him into her taking her there with no worries.
After the coupling was over she turned to him, "So what do I call you dear master."
"Ripper. The name's Ripper and by the end of everything," a smile flashed on his face. "Everyone will know it and fear it." Her head went back in demonic throes of laughter. He was truly hers now.
Months follow and they have laid waste to the entire dimension. "I'm bored."
"What do you propose? There is no more worthy opponents here in this land."
"That's exactly it!" He threw his hands in the air frustrated. "Either we've killed them, they aren't a bother, or they fled." He picked up a small statue and flung at in no particular way. "BLOODY BASTARDS!!!" He roared, "How dare they do this?!"
"My Love." She placed a soft hand on his shoulder trying to turn his anger. "Perhaps its time we lengthened our borders."
He turned to her brows raised waiting for her to continue.
"I have others from the world you were from at the hellmouth, who can bring us through. We can open it up and claim that world as ours!"
"YES!" He grabbed her by the throat and whipped her so that she landed on the table nearby. He held her there as he entered her from behind. He reveled in the new future and her misery.
<He will pay soon for this degradation. As soon as I have that world. He will have outlived his usefulness.> She laid there taking it as continued using her over and over.
~*~*~*~
"Are you ready lover."
"Open the Bloody gate already! I crave the battle!" The swirling eddies pulled themselves and their army through the portal near the hellmouth.
"Go! Open the Hellmouth!" She was rewarded with a backhand.
"I do not take orders from you Wench! I will conquer the heroes here and then and only then will I open it."
"We have to stop them. Wesley's sure they are here to bring about the opening
of the hellmouth!" The Scoobies fought on as Buffy warned them of what they had
to stop.
Ripper gazed at her.<Oh yes, quite the adversary.> He wanted to jump into the fray but his body held him still as familiarity crept over him. <Buffy.> "Buffy."
Tiilein saw that her control was wavering and sank her fangs deep into him, draining him of his blood. She quickly cut herself to allow him to drink of her. What she didn't count on was him draining her of her blood.
He freaked at what he was doing and quickly beheaded her. The battle raged on, he no longer was hungry for violence, he was no longer angry, but now he felt fear over what he has done.
"Rupert?"
He turned to face the voice, the weight lifted momentarily when he saw her. The smile played across his features and he wrapped himself and let himself be wrapped up in Buffy. "I thought I'd never see you again." Tears trailed down as the memories of what he has done elsewhere plagued him.
"You thought you'd never see us again?? How do you think how I felt? Everyday we researched and researched. I'm so glad to have you back."
********************
He woke up for the fifth time that night, the sheets were wet of perspiration. Nightmares of what he has done to the inhabitants even though they were demon hurt him. Tiilein had done him over good. Not only did she steal his memories away while he was there, but she stole his humanity as well. Each day was a struggle to keep himself in check. He researched everyday and kept the place dark.
Buffy didn't think anything of it except that he needed to readjust after spending the time he did in that awful place. He still would not speak of it though its been only a few weeks, he only kept himself buried in his books, researching, but not saying what he was looking for. She was somewhat worried, but decided to back off and give him some time. For a pleasant change herself and the Scoobies went to the Bronze while the kids stayed at their friends houses, but they were minus one from the group. Anya had to work late since receiving a late shipment, which really miffed her.
Giles reached up for another volume and felt pain. He dropped the book he was holding and doubled over, spasms shook him and it felt as though his insides were on fire. He writhed in agony fighting the demon within until it finally stopped. He got up and walked out into the night.
The bell that hung over the door rang and Anya's attention focused on the rude customer who didn't see the closed sign. "I'm sorry, but…" Swift as lightning she felt sharp pains at the base of her neck and she felt life ooze from her. She slumped to the floor unable to flee staring at her attacker while holding her wound. She tried vainly to stay conscious, but death overtook her. She never thought that with all of her life as a demon and now as a mortal that she would die like this.
"Hey, I have to split. Pick up An. Later." After arriving at the Magic shop he
honked the horn a few times to let her know that he was there, but she still
hasn't came out, so he went in. "Hey An, where are you sweetie?" He tripped and
fell. He got his wits about him and looked over to see what he tripped on. "An?
Anya?" He slid over to her looking at her glazed over eyes. He searched frantically
for a pulse, but it was way too late. He sat weeping cradling his wife's body
in his arms.
At the funeral no one could speak, they were at a lost as to which vampire
did this, but by god, someone was going to pay!
Willow sat in her apartment thinking of the last few events, of all the turmoil's,
struggles, and good times as well, but was shaken from past when she saw Giles
in front of her. "Giles! You gave me a start." She stared at his dark green
eyes which seemed to go on for an eternity. He stood there not saying a word. "Giles?" Still
no response, "Giles? What's wrong?"
Without warning he attacked her. She fought back with her own magic but was struck down every time. She crawled backwards to get away from him, but he kept coming towards her with a Ripper smile. He grabbed her firm and kissed her. She struggled against him, which only excited him more. He worked his kisses downward along the vein on her neck, licking at the soft skin there. This frightened her more then anything now.
Giles pulled back and laughed morphing into game face, "Come and play Red. Now you'll be mine." With that he sank down into her flesh tasting her life force and her magic. With what little thought left he forced her to taste of his blood, changing her life as it once was into something a bit more on edge.
She woke feeling hungry. She saw her captors eyes again.
"Hungry?"
She nodded and he shoved her a man he had grabbed while waiting for her to wake. She feed earnestly still staring at him, but now she didn't care what she was doing this had all felt so good. The blood poured freely down her throat, its warmth filling her. She dropped her now dead meal and got up to stretch.
"Feel better?" She shook her head. "No? What is it then?"
"I want to fuck you."
He took her savagely and possessively in his arms tearing at the clothes she was wearing, "You'd look so much better in something a bit more… hhhmmm??" He thought of exactly what he wanted to see her in.
"Hold on I have just the thing." She ran to her closet and snagged the garment that she had to wear when her double Vamp Willow was in town. Now she realized why she held on to the garment, she had always wanted to wear something like this. But never dreamed of doing so.
He stopped her from putting it on just as yet. "Willow want to play?"
She looked at him and without a word, pushed him off balance and he landed on the bed with her pouncing right on top of him. Xander heard the struggle from the door and opened it cautiously to see what was going on. He was not prepared for what he saw. His best friend and the G-man was getting it on. Oddly he stared and watched as it played out until they morphed into game face. He stumbled backwards almost falling and ran leaving the lovers to themselves.
Willow wiggled under his ministrations, her heat building. They nipped and sucked on one another leaving bloody gashes all over their bodies. Ripper rammed his rigid cock hard into her, mauling her breasts and letting his cold seed loose inside her, upon feeling this, she came flooding all over him. He tried to pull away, but she wouldn't hear of it. She held him against her.
"More." Such raw untamed feeling flowed through that he himself could not reject a woman who has just as much stamina as himself.
"You saw who doing what?!"
"I know it sounds crazy Buffy, but you have to believe me. Giles and Willow are both vampires."
Buffy thought for a moment, she didn't want to believe him, but it would explain Rupert's erratic behavior of late. She saw the look of hurt on his face. She decided that it would be a good idea to get the kids to safety until she knows for a fact and dealt with it. She asked Xander to pick them up and go to Angel's where she would meet up with them there.
A Slayer's work is never done.
********************
Willow and Ripper walked hand in hand down the street scaring some of the locals, feeding having a go of it anywhere they choose. The vampires had succeeded in the one thing Ethan was always striving for. Chaos. Complete and total mayhem. Spike ran into the middle of the storm. He watched the two go at it and it broke his heart to see dear friends like this. A few years back hell, he would've enjoyed the carnage. Now he was a do gooder, all because of a bloody chip.
Now Spike shook out of fear for what he must now do. Not only did he not want to stake his friends, he also feared them. The watcher had always been to smart and strong for him to handle on his own add to the fact that now he's a vampire not to mention that red here is a witch, a very powerful one. He opted for the direct route, hiding the stake as he approached them in a friendly manner.
Willow looked up from what she was doing. "Look who's come to play."
Ripper turned and growled. This particular vampire was a traitor to all vampires and demons. It disgusted him to see the peroxide blonde. The vampires gathered around waiting to hear what the turncoat had to say.
"Hey watcher…."
"Do you smell it?" She turned from Spike to Ripper, "He fears us."
"Rightfully so Luv." Eyes locked between the two male vampires, "I'll give you one shot, join us or die." His smile broadened. William the Bloody was not one to follow others, to bow to their wishes. Ripper had already known what his answer was going to be.
"Sod off!" He pulled the stake from his duster and went after the witch. She repelled him easily with simple spoken words that flung him hard onto the ground.
Ripper pulled out a stake to dust him, but was stilled by his mate. "Its too quick, he doesn't deserve that kind of mercy." An evil grin spread across her face. "Play time again."
Drusillia stayed in the shadows she had come back to Sunnydale to beg her Spike for forgiveness, but instead she runs across this nightmare. There were too many vampires following in their service. To try to save her beloved now would prove fatal. She watched helplessly as Willow and Ripper abused him.
With a simple binding spell Spike was unable to move in any way that didn't correspond with what they wanted. She ripped his shirt open and raked her fingernails deep into his skin, blood filling in the path that she just made. She bent down and licked the trail, following it up to its starting point. Spike winced at the pain unable to do anything about it. She bit into the nipple and more blood flowed. She sat back enjoying her work carving her initials into his skin and then `Willow loves Ripper' she grew bored of that. She moved her bottom over his groin and felt that his cock was quite ridged. She unfastened his denim and pulled his hardness free, licking its sweet length.
Ripper was quite aroused as well. He needed to get off, but more importantly he wanted to watch his sweet childe. He freed himself and knelt down beside Spike shoving his pole into his mouth. Spike tried to resist, and found a hand wrapped around his throat threatening to snap him in two if he didn't comply or caused its owner any harm.
Ripper filled the captives vampire as he came, releasing the strangle hold he had on him. "Willow dear its time to get going." She pouted, there was fun being had. He grabbed her and pulled him off of their ride. He grabbed the sword he was carrying with him and raised it high above his head. "Sorry to have behead and run, but anarchy calls to me." He bought the sword down severing the head from the rest of the body, turning it all into dust. Dru watched in horror as she saw it happen. She wanted so badly to pay them back for what they done, but here and now was not the best time. She'll wait for the best time and her vengeance shall be sweet.
Xander called Angel before he went to go get Alexis, he already had Will and
then they would have to leave. He hurried them into the car with what little
they took with and drove off. About a few blocks down, he pulled to the side
because of a flat. <Great fucking timing> He quickly left out the car
door to make a quick change of it. As he was getting the spare he was ensnared
by Willow and Giles had his son.
"Can I make him?"
Ripper looked into her eyes and could not resist when she had asked like that. "If it makes you happy dear."
"No. Wait! We're friends remember?"
Willow cocked her head and leaned in closer, "We'll be better friends after this." She bit hard into him and all he could do was scream. Ripper turned to his son to turn him as well. The family shall be whole again, one way or another.
Angel found Xander's car and looked in the area for him and the kids. Buffy
would lose it if she were to lose any more friends or the children. He saw
a prone figure that dressed similar to Xand, and raced to it. Before he could
see who it was he felt darkness claim him.
He woke to a dimly lit room chained to a chair.
"Look similar?" Ripper held up a tool that was similar to the one used on him done ages ago by Angelus. "You taught me a lot that day, I suppose when you are a couple of centuries older you have more practice time. So tell me if I'm doing something wrong." He cut into the older vampire and he gasped. "Feel free to scream if it hurts."
The time spent between Ripper and Angel was personal and no one dared intrude upon it, when he finally paid him back for everything he's done to him, he pulled out his spine, leaving him in crumpled heap. "Give my regards to my lovely wife won't you."
Willow tackled him backwards. The fear from Angel was like an aphrodisiac to her. "Playtime now! I need you."
"Of course Luv." he growled into her mouth and pressed into her against the wall.
Buffy looked all over for the two, but only found devastation in their wake.
He r heart filled with despair. She found Xander's car and now fear overtook
her.
"Buffy!" Her head turned at the call of her name. She saw Xander limping down the road.
"What happened? Where's Will and Alexis? I didn't get to pick her up yet. We were ambushed. Will's at the mansion. They all are."
"All right lets go."
At the mansion, she took the lead, not wanting her friend to get any more hurt.
Walking from room to room, her senses were at her peak. There was one room
she walked into with blood-splattered walls. Angel lay sprawled, she went
to him immediately. She moved him gently and found another vampire above
her. Out of instinct she dusted it. Her eyes widened at the realization of
whom she just got. <Poor Xander! > "Angel." She whispered his name
out again.
"Buffy. You have to get out of here. It's a trap. I'm not leaving you."
"You have to kill me, Buffy. He pulled out my spine, please Buffy!" He pleaded with her to end his miserable existence. "I can't live like this. Please?"
She started to cry. She did what was asked of her. Her whole world is falling apart. All her friends are dead her husband is now the one thing they fought against and her son probably the same. Her grief filled her making her unaware of the attack from behind. She gathered herself to face her new opponent.
"Willow."
"Buffy."
Buffy took the moment to press the offense. Willow countered easily.
"Enough!" Buffy's husband walked into the room. Her heart faltered at the loss, she loved him terribly and regretted having to need to stake him. "Buffy, Luv. We don't have to fight."
"We don't?"
"You can be part of the family again, just differently."
"Sorry I don't play second fiddle." She lunged at him and was struck down.
"Really Slayer. That was pathetic. I've taught you better and still after all these years you keep dropping your right." He attacked her, knowing all her weaknesses. She looked at him through the blood, searching for the man she loves, but he was gone. His smile broadened and she was whipped around. She now faced her son and she felt him draining her. When he let her go, betrayal was in her eyes as she gave up life.
Alexis looked on in horror, she had been following her mother for months now whenever she went on patrol, but now she had lost her and her family as well. She moved to go attack, but was held in place.
"If you want to live and kill them another day, I will help you. If you go there now, you'll only succeed in killing yourself."
She looked at the vampire in disgust, "What do you get out of this?"
Cold eyes stared at her, "Vengeance."
Drusilla had her work cut out for her; there was much to teach the new slayer.
Not only to hone her slaying abilities but her mental powers as well, plus
with the child knowing magic; she will definitely have her sweet revenge.
