Chapter 9
The sun was setting as Buffy talked with the scoobs back at the Magic Box.
“ And, your sure Spike said ‘Thomas?’” The watched paced back and forth; he had finally found something that night concerning this new vampire, although, if what Buffy was saying was true with the description and name, this chapper was a member of the Malus. He brought the book forth and put it next to her on the table she was sitting on, to which he promptly scooted her off.
She rolled her eyes and stood up straight, glancing at the old photo from the late 1900’s “Yep… that’s him… who is he?”
“ There have been other vampires with the name Thomas, some in the master's ranks, but this one is the oldest of another cult. He’s from the order of Malus…”
Willow looked up from her laptop, she was doing more class work and needed the break anyway; besides, she knew the answer to this one. “ Oh, the Malus, I’ve heard of them…” She looked to Buffy. “ They’re an order of vampires…. very hard to get into the club and even if you are a vampire and get in, you have to be one of the better fighters to get appointed to assassinate. They’re main purpose in life is to kill the slayer.”
Giles cleaned his glasses so he wouldn’t have to look her in the face. “ Yes, Willow and thank you ever so much for ruining what little thrills I have left in life in knowing that I know more than the younger generations.”
The red head looked back to her computer continuing to type. “ Sorry Giles, you finish, I don’t know everything about them after all.”
“ Well, you’ve summed it up pretty well…”
Buffy raised her hand. “ Ok, wait, I don’t get it, if these badies are only concerned with killing me, why haven’t I heard of them before and why haven’t any of them come?” She looked to Giles. “ Giles, when I said you could send the Order of Teroka after me, I wasn’t serious.”
The watched shook his head in disproval. “There are many different… um, cults and, um clubs, if you will, located all around the world, some devoted to evil, some devoted to good. The watchers council is one for good…” Buffy scoffed noticeably, Giles continued. “And… the order of Teroka is one of evil. The Malus is another of Evil… only it’s mostly in-crippled with vampires assassins. They’re… a... well, they’re like the yang to the watcher councils yin.” He chuckled lightly at his own dry humor. Looking up and seeing no one was laughing as well he coughed and continued. “ Well, anyway, to get back to the point, the Malus is strict, very strict and will only send one assign every five years, unless the first assassin is KIA, as is my understanding.”
The Slayer looked back and forth between the witch and the watcher. “ But, then why haven’t I seen an assassin before Tom?”
“ They may have just found you, or, considering your skill level being as high as it is, I believe that you may have already run into this assassin, although not aware of it.”
“ They have a ring?”
“ A what?”
“ A ring, you know, like when I got that order of Teroka guy, he had a ring.”
The watcher shook his head no. “ Oh, no, this group doesn’t have any distinguishing marks or symbols they go from, which is why we have had such a hard time in the council tracking them down.”
“ Hum, seems very un-spirited of them."
Oh oh wait…” Willow looked up to Buffy who had suddenly developed vocal cord. Giles glanced as well putting his glass back on. “Remember what he said to me the other night? He said, ‘it wasn’t his turn; he’d play by the rules and wait.’ It means that the other assassin is still in town; his or her ‘times’ not up. Who ever these two assassins are, we know there are two of them at least here."
Giles moved forward. “ Well, according to lore and some of the earlier volumes I have on the Malus, it seems that if one assassin fails and doesn’t comply with the fulfillment of his job, (killing the slayer) then the second assassin assigned will not only kill the slayer the first assassin didn’t, but will also kill the first assassin.”
Both girls looked to the watcher, confused. “ Huh?” They both muttered in unison.
He rolled his eyes. “ What I'm saying is that the second assassin will kill everyone and anyone who gets in his way. If the first one wasn’t bad, the next should be ten times worse.”
Buffy nodded.“ Oh… well, we’ll deal when we come to it.”
Watcher continued, “ We have no idea who this vampire…” The bell above the door rang. His footsteps gliding over the wooden floor, no one paid attention to him. “…Is. I would think that the best thing or us to do is wait until he or she makes there move on us.”
“ At least we agree on something Rupert…” Spike stood in the center of the room, hands in both pockets of his duster. He cocked his head to look at Buffy once before looking back to Giles.
Buffy stood and uncrossed her arms as she blocked his path from Willow and Giles. “Spike, I got all the information I need from you, why are you here now?”
“ Because I don’t think you can take on this wanker yourself luv.” he stepped forward, not a breath of air between them. He talked almost too low for Giles and willow to hear now. “ You want to beat this one, you need my help...and Im willing to give it to you.”
She squinted. “Shouldn’t you be happy this guy is after me, or should I say two guys are after me?”
“I don’t fancy letting another bloke kill you before I can get this chip out and have a go myself." Buffy scoffed, turning her back and walking away. He shouted out "You won’t be able to kill Tom without my help Buffy…”
She turned back, scowling.“He an old friend of yours?”
He walked over again, and bent in, his lips an inch from her ear, his breathe cold as he muttered the words. “My trainer.”
******
He stood up against the wall; Buffy was leaning against the dummy in the back workout room away from the rest of the group. It was just Spike and buffy, alone now in the Gym. After he had whispered, they had gone straight back, she was determined to find some things out. “ Ok Spike,” the slayer started. “ I want answers… you said he was your trainer. So were you saying that.....you’re the assassin? The first one?"
He looked up an nodded.
Buffy continued. "I mean... when you came to Sunnydale fives years ago I thought it was to cure Dru.”
Sincerely he looked to her. “ It was part of the deal, alright? To get the information on Delack, for Dru, I had to make a bargain to kill you. I agreed and now, either I kill you in two nights, or Tom will do me in as well tomorrow.”
“ I’m not buying it, you’ve lied to me before and now you’re a member of some macho vampire club, which you didn’t even bother to tell me before when I questioned you. For all I know this could be another one of your lame-o tricks.”
“It’s not!. Being what I am and you being what you are I can understand the buggering problem with trust but…now you need me, and I’m not here to kill you.” His eyes soften, truth. “I couldn’t. Even though you fought well and kept me back, if I had stuck strictly to business and not let myself be diverted by your…” He looked back up. “ If I hadn’t tried to savor the moment and gone for the quick kill, you would’ve been dead long ago, I'm sure of it. Im not trying to sound big, that;s simply the truth of it.” He looked at her, serious and without a ounce of sarcasm or jest.
“Diverted by what?” She asked.
"What?" He said, trying to pretend he hadn't slipped.
"You said you could have killed me had you not been diverted. Believe it or not Spike, I believe you when you say you could have killed me...without the chip, years ago. Honestly, I remember at least 2 times where you were too slow.... or you seemed to stop yourself for one reason or another. I questioned it back then.... why you seemed to always prolong the fight, or seem to get delayed, or even never follow through... I thought you incompetent, but you just said.... something stopped you. Was it every time? What diverted you?"
He scoffed, rolling his eyes and looking to the side. “Its not important."
"No, it is." She stepped forward and closed the space between them. "I want to learn. What stopped you? I need to know. If its.... something that's important to killing this other assassin, or.... defeating other enemies.... I should know why you couldn't go through with it. What was it? "
He stood, looking down at her as she closed the gap. "You really don't know?" He whispered.
She shook her head slightly, looking up at him in the eyes.
A few seconds passed and he inched closer to her face, and then suddenly, without warning, he grabbed her around the waist, pulled her tight against his own waist, and kissed her on the mouth.
She pushed away, not expecting it. "Woooh wooh woh, what kind of answer is that?"
" I've been sidetracked, preoccupied, diverted by YOU. The truth of it is... I can't stop thinking about you... I...." She was looking at him in shock. He shook his head and changed the subject, hoping she would ignore what he had just said and did. "... but that’s beside the point pet, you know what your real problem is?”
“ The blood smelling perfume I must be accidentally putting on each morning to attract vampires?”
“ No, you lead with you left foot.”
“ So?”
******
Willow glanced up to Giles. “So wha’d ya think they’re talking about?”
The watcher shrugged. “ Hopefully Spike has more information.” They both looked up to the back room as a loud bang was heard, sounds of heavy fighting taking place. “Hopefully Spike lost his head.”
At this, both bookworms ran back to the doorframe of the workout room, stopping when they saw the sight
Spike kicked wildly in the air before landing on his feet again softly. Buffy only tried to trip him to which he jumped over and punched at her face promptly. He threw his punch an inch from her face, missing contact but still getting the point across that he had made a hit, he smirked lightly. The slayer scowled a moment before punching out again.
Using his vampiric abilities, he dodged this and quickly spun around her left side grabbing her into a light headlock from behind. “ Hey!” She yelled, fidgeting out of his grasp. “Look Mr.…speedy vamp, that’s cheating.”
He shrugged, “You really think anyone’s going to care weather you play fair? ‘Sides, if you hadn’t forgot, you’re a little stronger then I am. I may be faster, but get a punch off luv and that won’t matter for very long... or ‘avent you gotten that yet?”
“ If I wasn't playing fair, you'd be done right now!”
"Then why haven't you played dirty?"
"Not my style."
“Ach Hum!” From the doorframe, Giles made his presence known. “ Buffy…?”
Willow too looked on with curiosity. The Slayer stood up straight, running a hand through her hair. “Um, Spike was teaching me a move. he's agreed to help defeat this assassin… find anything else on this Tom guy in your books Giles?”
The watcher shook his head, getting back into research mode. “We have an extensive biography on Tom and his past life…much of it not useful. Although, as for the first vampire that will most likely be coming for you first…well, many of the newer vampire members of the Malus we don’t have any information on at all. It’s likely because they wouldn’t be good candidates to be called to fight the slayer.” The watcher looked to Spike, pointing the conversation to him. “So you know, Spike, we think there might be another assassin in town, the one before Tom, you don’t know any…?”
“ No.” Buffy stepped forward. “ He, um, he’s given me all the information he has. Spike doesn’t know anything else …” She glanced to Spike knowingly, raising an eyebrow. “ Right?”
The vampire nodded. “As rain.”
Giles sighed. “Alright, um, Buffy. You might start thinking about patrolling. I’ll continue to see if I can find anything else at home that could aid you.” Giles turned to go back into the shop. He was glad actually relieved that Buffy had found a suitable fighting partner… finally. Both he and Xander were no match for her any more, but why Spike had volunteered was something… unexpected, he had his doubts. His ribs on the other hand told him to shut up and stop complaining about it, they were getting a rest from getting kicked in once a week.
Willow stood there a moment alone, still looking in. “I’m going to get back to the dorms Buffy, be careful, I’ll see you later tonight so we can start the studying.”
Buffy rolled her eyes noticeably at the mention of studying. “Ok Will… later!”
When the redhead left, Spike turned to Buffy giving her a smirk. “You lied to your watcher…”
She shrugged. “I’ve lied to him before, then again, that didn’t end well.”
He nodded, and then shook his head quickly, getting on with his point. “ Yeah, well. Now, let me see your left hook pet.”
She sighed and took two steps, hitting his palm with her left hand, not really trying, something still bothering her. “ Oh… I got a question. Giles said he didn’t have any information on new vamps in the Malus Order. I’m thinking, since he’s already read your bio from before anyways, that means the Malus isn’t mentioned.”
The vampire quirked an eyebrow. “Your point being?”
“ Well.” Punch. “ It means you’re new. How long have you been Mr. Secret agent?”
He snickered lightly, his palm getting raw from the hitting. “ It’s not like I’m bloody James Bond pet. I studied with them for five years, left, came back, and continued for another fifteen.”
“So, you’ve been training and practicing for twenty years then? All to defeat slayers? ” Punch.
He nodded. “ You know, the local schools ‘round these parts are doing wonders…” Sarcasm. Punch. “Ow!”
“Annnnyway, if you’ve only been with them for twenty years, how long has Thomas been with the Malus over you?”
He rolled his eyes for dramatics and looked to the side, taking the punch with his shoulder to steady himself. “I’m not sure but I think he’s been with the Malus almost three times as long as me. ”
“ So your saying that he’s… he’s more experienced… and he could probably kill you if he wanted to…and me?” She stood up straight, stopping the punches, her face tangled with a blanket of wrinkles, both of confusion and worry.
He nodded, standing himself up in a proper position. “ I’ve never beaten him before. Don’t lean on your left foot so heavy.”
She nodded, looking to her feet then back up to the bleached head. “ Ok, so this Tom guy, you two used to work together?”
“ He taught me a lot of moves, not all of my moves mind you but the bulk of them, the basics. The ponce used to be the bloody Chuck Norris of the vampire community, he was a fighter, professional one too before vampirism.” He looked to her, seeing the worry in her eyes. “Which is why I’m going to HELP you, I won’t let you fight’ em alone.”
"If Tom had come and you hadn’t had been here… I dunno, we would have managed I suppose…but I’m glad that you stayed, everyone couldn’t have done this without you.”
“I’m not doing this for the group Buffy, it’s for you, only you. I don’t want to see you dead, as appealing as some fangs and bumps on your head would be I’d rather have a very alive slayer bantering on with me then a corpse.” He sighed and got back into fighting position. “ Ok, now, I’m going to do something… I want you to mimic.”
“ I want you to mimic” She gave him a cute smile.
“ Bloody brilliant slayer…”
