Chapter 11

They entered the club quietly. The club opened up in to one main room, a dance floor with poles scattered here and there, there were cages suspended from the ceiling and there were private booths littering the walls. Buffy gestured for Spike to head down to the other end of the dance floor and he nodded and took off.

Buffy noticed a door to the left of the room and beckoned the rest of the gang to follow her. It opened into a corridor with two doors inside. She felt her spider sense go into overdrive and knew that there were vampires behind one or both doors.

Listening at both doors she heard whispered voices behind the first. Reasoning that the vampires wouldn’t whisper, this must be the captive’s room.

She opened the door and quickly glanced around the room, two vampires lay sleeping on a couple of couches while a good twenty men and women were crammed into two cages which lined one wall.

“Can you handle those two?” Buffy whispered quickly. At Xander’s nod she waved them in before adding.

“Get those people out of here as soon as possible.” Buffy turned and glanced at the other room, this must be the den, she thought.

The shouts of the two vampires and the victims lost her surprise tactic so she just shrugged before kicking the door in. the door swung open and banged off the wall. It was then Buffy realised her mistake.

Oh shit, she thought. There must be at least thirty vampires in here.

Buffy took out the first that charged her easily by swiftly beheading him with her sword, before the dust had hit the floor she was back peddling out the door, she wouldn’t be able to fight well in such close quarters. A quick glance into the other room showed that Xander had staked one of the vampires and Willow was happily dousing the other with holy water.
She turned and ran towards the main room.

The outraged shouts and curses followed her quickly and she skidded to a stop on the dance floor and took up her defence.

The vampires piled into the room and attacked.

Buffy swung the sword expertly at the vampires within reach, she could see some of the vampires circling her but there wasn’t much she could do about it.

As she fought she heard a shout from the other side of the room, some of the vampires took off and she knew that Spike had joined the fight.

A vampire lunged at her from behind and she swung the sword under her arm and stabbed him, he faltered and fell to the floor, she knew it wouldn’t kill him but it would hurt. Before she could turn the sword one of the vampires in front of her kicked it from her hand, it flew across the room and clattered to the floor.

Dodging a kick aimed at her head Buffy used the opportunity to dip and retrieve a stake from her boot. She spun quickly taking out the legs of the vampire who had aimed the kick and staked the vampire who she had stabbed seconds earlier.

She could hear all of the people who had been caged running towards the exit and smiled briefly as Xander joined the fight. He attacked one of the vampires that were waiting to get a turn at Buffy. He staked him in the back savagely before starting on the next.

Once crossbow bolts started flying, Buffy realised that a few of the vampires had escaped up onto a walkway and were trying to kill them from a distance.

She heard a yelp and chanced a quick glance and saw that a bolt had pierced Spikes calf. He was bleeding from a half dozen other cuts as a couple of the vampires he faced had knives.

Anger surged through her at the thought of what these vampires had done. She let the slayer side of her wash through her and began to fight in earnest.

She swung her foot in an arc and as it connected with the nearest vampires head she felt his neck break. She flowed through her fighting moves and dispatched one vampire after another.

Realising there were no vampires left around her, she leant over with her hands on her knees and panted.

“Buffy!” a sharp yell sounded from up on the walk way. Xander had made his way up there and had taken out the vampires. In fact they seemed to have taken all of the vampires out.

He pointed to the floor and spoke.

“I couldn’t get there in time.”

Buffy followed his pointed finger and saw Spike lying on the floor with a crossbow bolt protruding from his chest.
