More!?!

I was just about ready to hear about Aaron Echolls from Logan. He was going to tell me, probably while we moved the bodies of dead people who were so courageous and important to the world...

He was going to give me the lowdown about his murder and to quote Logan, was going to tell me "what a lowlife, cheating with teenage girls scumbag" that his father was. What can I say? I used to dig his old man's movies and even though he didn't turn out to be the stand up guy that you hope your heroes on screen can be, I still wanted to hear some stories...

His spitfire of a girlfriend, also a slayer though we didn't know that at first seemed to want to get him off of the streets and probably to a medic because Logan looked like he was about to fall over, though he seemed like a tough kind of guy who didn't want to fight, but still, it seemed like maybe we could get bandaged up together so I could hear this story about his father...

Except that the roar could be heard for probably a mile and it seemed to be getting closer fast. I came to Sunnydale because I thought that I could help, spurred on by the fact that my mother was a slayer and was killed by a vampire. I maneuvered myself into Sunnydale at the high school and found Buffy. I then found that Spike was the vampire that killed my mother. Everything had fallen into place; I could get my revenge and then help with the hellmouth, but as it turned out, killing Spike was harder then defeating the First and the battle itself there was brutal, nearly killing me. I found a form of love with Faith, but we couldn't connect and now I'm here in Los Angeles with more demons now turning the corner and dead friends on the ground that could be further defiled if we didn't move them and I'm realizing that my plans...for the most part were dangerous and above me...

Yet...

I am not going to turn my back. Buffy and Spike, Kennedy, Angel and the brunette with him, Veronica and Logan and Dawn and the boy all noticed the demons turning the corner. Buffy and Spike seemed to mobilize. Veronica had to stop Logan, who though joked about wearing a suit of armor in order to fight on; seemed to want to fight, though it was clear that Veronica wasn't going to let him. Kennedy turned to fight. Angel seemed to be pulling the brunette away as they were closest to the demons. Faith had gone, dragging a couple of injured away and I suddenly wished that she was here.

I'm injured, but I can't run away from this fight. I looked up, passed Veronica and Logan and started behind Kennedy, who seemed like she wanted to kill all of the demons herself. She was angry over Willow and I worried that grief would make her vulnerable.

I readied my sword, forgetting that my entire ribcage was a bruise and that both of my eyes were already somewhat swollen and with anymore contact, might threaten to close.
