A house unguarded. From down_thespiral
Tonight had been no different from any of the other nights that I had known since coming to Sunnydale. Okay, sure, it was true, many nights, I didn't go outside. And then there were other nights when I did go outside in which the vampire population didn't seem out of control, but on a lot of nights, I had my stakes on me, and my martial arts skills and was forced to use both.
This night had ben one of the latter nights, except on this night, I had killed two vampires and as I moved closer to my destination, I walked with stealth and secrecy, noticing the gentleman who weren't really gentleman at all, with their robes and strange, almost no eyes. I couldn't believe that they didn't have eyes at all, because if that were the truth, then how could they see where they were going?
I didn't know the answer to that question, but what I could instantly notice was that they seemed to be going to the same place that I was. As I used cars and trees for protection, or should I say, cover, I realized that the two that I had locked on to, were doing much of the same thing, like they were planning a surprise attack.
I was going to see Buffy. I hadn't told her that I knew what she was, but I did. She was like my mother, and reminded me of her in so many ways. Buffy was in one word, incredible. Seeing her the way that she was in school...others in my position, a position of power over her there might have regarded her with suspicion, but not me. I knew that what she did, she did out of protection...she did for the betterment of Sunnydale. It was why I wanted her in the school and it was time to come clean. Except now, it looked as though she was in danger.
I walked towards the door, noticing that Buffy didn't seem to be inside, but that at least one girl was in there. It wasn't her sister and I wanted to find out what was really going on. I checked behind me to see if the no-eye guys were there, and before knocking, composed myself, figuring out exactly how to tell Buffy who I was. I had my bag in hand, and was ready.
I looked back one more time and then knocked. I had to tell Buffy my secret. There was a vampire out there that had killed my mother, and if anyone could help me with the death of a vampire slayer in the past, it was the current, big-hearted slayer.
I heard someone from inside asking who it was.
"I'm Robin Wood. I'm the principal of the high school. I work with Buffy. Is she here?"
The voice wasn't Buffy, or Dawn's, but it was obvious that whoever it was didn't want to answer the door out of fear of something. If the vampire slayer was here, if Buffy was here, then there wouldn't be the fear of opening a door going on.
Still, I waited for the door to be opened.
