(Tag: Buffy) Vamps, Wolves and Lightning! Oh my!

Buffy sighed as she entered the bar, sore and bruised from her fight with a vampire earlier that night. She sat down next to Lightning, "I need something strong..." she told the bartender.

Buffy downed her first drink and sighed as the alcohol burned its way down the back of her throat. She wasn't trying to get drunk, but sometimes alcohol was the best painkiller.

Buffy sighed as the barkeep brought her a second drink and glanced next to her, "Have you been here long?" she asked Lightning, the alcohol helping her be slightly more talkative than normal.

Buffy nodded and glanced over, pausing when she saw a man leading a woman out of the bar. His eyes were a vampiric red, "Ahh, hope you enjoy your stay..." she murmured politely before hurriedly paying her tab and telling the bartender to keep the change, before following them out the back door and into the dark alleyway.

The vampire was leaning down to suck blood from the woman's neck, and her eyes were wide with fear, when Buffy shouted out, distracting him long enough for his prey to run away.

He cursed and turned back to Buffy, a demonic growl emanating from his throat, "I guess you'll have to suffice instead," he threatened as he attacked her.

Buffy flew at her attacker, fighting him viciously, though sore and tired from earlier and not quite up to par, still managing to keep up with him until he slammed her into a wall. She staggered, dizzy from the blow, and wincing in pain, not able to dodge as he struck out at her once again.

Buffy looked up in surprise, though still maintaining her guard, "Who are you?" she asked warily.
