Molly Christine Davis

Going from pulling the lever on the slot machine and being thrilled to see three quarters pop out to suddenly feeling as if I was going to pass out any second just from a couple drinks shouldn't be happening. I didn't drink a lot, but I did enough to know that slayers had better tolerance for the stuff than most. I knew that I had a better tolerance than this. But when the man came up to us saying that we needed to come with him, I just started following after Lucy. I wanted to just lay down and rest. Nothing felt right and they were moving really fast.

Everything was becoming blurry and the next thing I knew, I was sleeping. It felt so nice just to rest just for a little while. Lucy would be irritated if I passed out too long so that it cut into our Vegas fun, but I just needed a minute. One, short little minute.

When I finally woke up, I frowned to myself. Okay this wasn't right. How did we get back to the school? Sitting up in bed, I looked over to Lucy's to see her laying there asleep. I couldn't have possibly passed out this long. What was going on?

"Lucy?" I asked quietly and started to stand, but felt my legs wobble beneath me. Gaining my balance, I walked over to Lucy's bed and froze when I saw her laying there. She wasn't asleep. Her eyes were wide open. She was dead and there were two puncture wounds there on her neck that I recognized all too well. Covering my mouth, I let out a scream that filled the room and halls of the school. I couldn't stop staring at her body. She couldn't be dead. This was Lucy. She simply wasn't allowed to die. It was a rule I'd made up and I don't even know if I'd told her about that not to mention several others that involved her, but that was at the top of the list.

Just a few seconds later, Kennedy came busting into the room and asking what was wrong. "She's DEAD!" I screamed at her, but she just had this 'so what?' look on her face. I knew things between the two of them had been a little on the rough side lately, but shouldn't she be a LITTLE more concerned??? "Didn't you hear me? I said. Lucy. Is. Dead."

"And?"

"And? AND?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN AND?!" Tears started swelling in my eyes and that's when I saw it. The smirk. No, that's when I felt it. That chill that runs up a slayer's spine when there's something demony close by. And this time it wasn't just demony. These were definitely vampire tingles and alarms going off at full blast. Still, I saw it too. Kennedy's smirk filled her face from ear to ear and my eyes widened in horror when her eyes flashed yellow just for a second and then settled back on me.

Shaking my head, I tried to find a way to rush past her but she was completely blocking my exit to the doorway. "Kennedy..."

"What? Are you going to cry now? Get all busted up over little best friend Lucy and your bitch from hell teacher? Come on, Molly, I thought you were tougher than that now."

I couldn't stop the tears from threatening to fall, but I knew for a fact that I was tougher than this. "Who did it?" I asked. "You were stronger than any of them, who did it?!"

"That would be spoiling the surprise, wouldn't it?" A new voice said from behind Kennedy.

My eyes flashed across the room at the familiar voice and suddenly I watched in horror as Kennedy's body turned to dust in front of my own eyes. Once the dust cleared, I saw another face I recognized. Lexi.

"Hey, Molly!" She said happily and twirlled the stake in her hand. "Sorry about your teacher. But you never liked her to begin with right? I think I just did you a favor." She wandered around the room aimlessly and I looked quickly towards the door to see if I could get the chance to run past her. "Would you like to play a game? I really like games." Lexi moved over towards Lucy's bed and I grimaced at her body just laying there so still. So dead. "I'll even let you have a head start."

The second Lexi sat down on Lucy's bed, I took my chance and sped for the doorway and ran as fast as I could down the hall. It was dark and I could barely see anything in front of me, but I just kept going. Finally, my hands hit the handles of the double doors that led into the gym and I looked around quickly to find something to use as a weapon. What I saw instead, though, made me freeze. The girls that I'd grown to know, train with, and become friends with were all here. They were sprawled out on the floor and covered in blood. They were all dead and it was just me and the vampire who used to be a girl that I considered a friend left.

"Molly?"

Spinning around, I felt relief wash over me. Seth was at least alive and not in the tangled mess of girls on the gym floor. Running over to him, I flung myself in his arms and then immeidately started to try and lead him towards the exit.

"Seth, we have to get out of here. Lexi,.. she's here. She killed Kennedy and Lucy and... all of them. Come on, we have to get out of here," I said to him urgently but for some reason he was just standing there and not even looking at me. He was looking past me and when I turned around I saw Lexi standing there with a strange almost satisfied smile on her face.

Protectively, I stood in front of Seth and stared at her carefully. "I won't let you kill him."

"Kill him? Why would I kill him?" Lexi stepped forward slowly, hands easily resting on her hips as she smiled at the two of us. Seth was still just standing behind me. Something here wasn't right. Even more so than I already thought.

"Summer... what are you doing here?"

Wait, what? Who?

"What? Not glad to see me, Cohen? Your little girlfriend sure thinks I'm some kind of crazy, psycho ex-girlfriend who wants to kill you. I told her I wanted to play a game and she just ran out on me."

"You're Summer?" I asked. I'd heard about her, but I'd never seen her and I didn't really ask questions about her. Everyone had their pasts and old relationships.

Summer/Lexi sighed and shrugged. I wasn't really sure what was going on because this was Lexi but Seth was saying Summer. "I came to see you, Cohen. Didn't you miss me?"

"Yes." he said way to quickly. I pulled back to look up at him. Summer/Lexi had a satisfied smile on her face and I glared hard at her.

What the hell was going on? See, now I was mad. This bitch had killed my friends, my best friend, and my teacher. Now she was trying to come back here and take away my boyfriend. The boyfriend that I happened to love and I didn't give a rat's ass how she felt about him in the past. She left and now he was mine. Lucy was mine. Kennedy was my teacher. They were all my friends. This was MY school.

Kennedy was right. I was tougher than this.

"Listen, Summer or Lexi or whatever the hell your name is. I don't care if you've missed him or he's missed you. You can't have him. Tough cookies now get out of my school." Matching the bitch look she was now giving me, I placed my hands on my hips and raised a brow. We stared at each other for a few seconds and then she started laughing. She was laughing at me and then for some reason Seth snickered next to me.

"Don't you get it? He's always going to be mine. He's always going to wish you were me. You're just a poor substitue for the real deal and now I'm claiming what's mine again. Oh, and sorry about making a mess along the way. That was just fun."

I backed away from the two of them and watched as she and Seth were now standing next to each other. "See, I told you I didn't want to kill him and I don't." She smiled quickly at me and I knew it was coming before her features shifted and opened her mouth. "Like I said. I want to keep him."

At that I watched as she started inching those gross fangs towards MY boyfriend's neck and I felt something snap inside of me. Don't touch my things. Lunging myself forward, I flung my body into hers and we both hit the floor hard. I didn't even see where Seth landed but right now I didn't care because I was saving his stupid life from his psycho ex-girlfriend. My eyes caught sight of a stake next to one of the other lifeless girl's bodies and I reached for it only to get tossed across the room but not before my fingers closed around the wood. Hitting the wall, I quickly popped back up and rushed towards her again. We fought but finally I had her pinned to the floor and unable to move. The stake was hled firmly in my right hand and I looked up at Seth, who looked both horrified and robotic at the same time, and then slammed the stake down into Summer/Lexi's chest.

My eyes popped open all of a sudden and I looked around. I wasn't at the school anymore and I sure as hell wasn't just fighting becuase HELLO I was strapped to a chair. The weird feeling I'd been having earlier was completely gone by now and I realized that I'd just been dreaming. Looking next to me, I saw Lucy strapped to the chair she was in. "Lucy?" My voice was filled with panic and I struggled with the bonds. Where were Seth and Ryan? "LUCY!" I yelled loudly this time trying desperately to get her to wake up.

Breaking free from one of the locks, I gritted my teeth and pulled my strength to free myself completey from the chair. Lucy wasn't dead and I wasn't going to let her die this time. "Lucy, wake up," I said to her and smacked her a little. Ugh. Wake up wake up wake up.

"WAKE UP RIGHT NOW," I screamed at her as I worked with breaking the locks on her chair. I had a couple of them but then behind me heard a door open and several men walked inside the room. And then came that demony, vampire tingle again.

Crap.

When I was in seventh grade, I had to have my appendix taken out. Most people can go through their entire lives with the dumb organ still lodged inside their body, but not me. The thing hurt like a bitch and they said just a few more hours and the thing might have burst. Who knows what would have happened then, right? They say a person can die if their appendix actually does burst. Lucky for me we caught it in time, right?

Since then I'd never stayed overnight at a hospital. I'd really never even had to go to a hospital since then. I wasn't always the most careful in doing things but maybe it was the fact I was destined to become a slayer that had me just not as susceptible to getting myself hurt in whatever way. I never really pictured myself ending up in one again exactly like this.

In the battle, I expected one of two things. Either I would make it out completely fine, maybe a few bumps or marks along the way, or I would die. The last thing I was doing was going into it thinking or wanting or expecting to die, but those were the two possibilities. Ending up in a hospital bed in some flimsy and ugly hospital gown with bandages all over my upper body was definately not how I imaged coming out of the battle.

Girls lost their lives. I knew that much before I ever hit the pavement and passed out. I saw them, it ripped me apart from the inside out, but I couldn't let myself focus on them. That was all apart of surviving, right? Focus on the kill, on the demon in front of you and that's what keeps you standing straight and unscathed.

I don't know how long I'd been out or how long I'd been poked and prodded by the doctors. All I knew when I started waking up was OW. My eyes hadn't opened yet, but I heard myself groan. Then I winced from the pain in my throat. It felt like someone had taken a razor blade to my throat. Shifting in the bed a little, I heard and felt the bandages on my arms and chest. Ugh.

Blinking my eyes open, I squinted and winced again. My back felt like someone had slammed me back into a telephone pole as hard as they could. Oh wait. They did. Demon bitch. I blinked a few more times and felt someone next to me. Were they saying something? If so, I hadn't really been listening. "Huh?" I asked and my voice sounded really groggy and unattractive right now. Once I was able to mostly focus on what was going on, I tried to sit up but that was pretty much a lost effort when it suddenly felt like my arms were on fire. I turned my head to see Lucy looking at me with some kind of look on her face. "Hi."

[Open to Lucy then Seth]

The talk we all had with Faith and Connor back at the gym left me feeling uneasy. Better, but still so freaking uneasy. We had a plan to do this and at least there was that, right? We had a plan and the only thing left to do was to follow through with it. Yeah, if it were only that simple.

Seth was staying back at the school to help coordinate things from here. If something changed or went wrong, we'd contact him and he would get the message out. I'd been so mad at him for flaking out on me when I thought I needed him, but I guess I had to understand that to a point. He'd been so hyped about having a superhero for a girlfriend, but the thing about superheroes is that they actually fight the bad guys. Superheroes die just like the rest of the world. But he was here now and that's what mattered.

We were paired off either with Alec or Connor and my number happened to be with Alec. I didn't so much care who I was with as long as they knew what they were doing here. Kennedy, Faith, Buffy and the rest of the big group who were fighting the partners left first and we started to get organized into our groups then began to head out. There was this queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach and I thought I was gonna be sick for a minute or so, but it finally passed when I picked up the huge sword. Forget stakes, we needed the big time weapons here.

I tried to find Lucy or Lacey in the sea of people we had, but couldn't. Things between me and Lucy had been kind of weird lately, but I didn't want to see anything happen to her. She was my best friend whether she wanted to be or not. As we were leaving, I spotted Seth and I quickly ran over to him, big sword and all and kissed him soundly on the lips. I had the radio in my back pocket in case something happened and I had a feeling he'd be listening close to see if I buzzed in with mine. Pulling back from the kiss, I looked at him seriously. "I love you," I said, my mouth turning up into a half smile and then took off to catch up with the rest of my group.

When we got to the spot to wait for the army to come, I spotted Lacey in the group and gave her a confident nod. I knew she was scared and so was I, but there was something about being here and actually getting ready for all this that sent a rush of adrenaline through me that made me ready to kick some demon ass.

A couple of the girls screamed and I looked up to see a huge portal-looking thing in the sky. Demons started to come out from everywhere and I took my stance and gripped the sword in my hands. We all charged forward once they started getting past the front and for a second Willow in the middle of our groups caught my eye, but Connor's words echoed in my head and I stayed focused on what was going on. I had to stay focused.

How do you win a war? With kickass weapons, a huge army, and lots and lots of superhuman girls with a grudge.

The sword I carried sliced through demon after demon and I was getting more and more charged the harder I fought. I had cuts and wounds all over me, but they weren't hitting me yet. I was so lost in the fight that nothing but big demon, scaly demon, horned demon, or slimey demon registered.

Looking up, I saw two demons coming at me at once. Tensing up, I swung out the sword at the first and watched as it was sent to the ground hard, but before I could regain my stance, the second was coming at me and gripped the blade of my sword in its large, scaly hand. The next thing I knew, my weapon was gone and I had nothing by my fists to keep me from dying. And my feet. Landing a kick to the demon's torso, I gasped when it grabbed my leg and swung me into a post. My back ached in pain and as I was trying to get back to my feet, I felt claws ripping into my arms and shoulders like ten knives were slicing into my body.

Getting up enough strength, I was able to get one of my arms free and punched the demon in the face only to get a backhand (backclaw?) straight back to mine and pain ripped through my face like fire, blood running down my face. The demon sliced its claws across my back and front and then tossed me aside into a brick wall with a thud. I tried to get up enough strength to stand again, but finally gave in and sank down into the pavement and felt my eyes close.

I couldn't believe that Lucy just up and left, no warning, no nothing. Did five slayers showing up dead in the gym not mean anything to her? I wasn't exactly the type to go all slayer on anyone but a vampire, but when she got back to the room I might just do that. Ugh! She was so stubborn and stupid sometimes I wanted to shake her. Not to mention she was with Ryan. God. Couldn't he send her back here? I was gonna have to have a talk with him too apparently.

I'd told Lucy that I was going to tell Kennedy she was gone and that was something I really didn't want to have to do. I mean, I just didn't, and if this had been any other situation or circumstances, I would have obviously covered for her. But this wasn't just any situation or circumstance! Oh, and not to mention I had something else to talk to Kennedy about, didn't I? Sure did. Something about what secrets should be kept and what ones should LET PEOPLE KNOW THEIR FORMERLY DEAD SISTERS ARE ALIVE. My god. What was it with people around here? I wanted to smack all of them.

Finally, I had my resolve set and I was gonna go talk to her. Had to do it sometime and this was as good of a time as any since it's not like I was going anywhere. I didn't want to be number six.

Leaving the room, I headed towards Kennedy's office intent on telling her what was what. Yes, I know me telling Kennedy what was what might be funny to some people, maybe even to Kennedy herself, but I didn't really care. I didn't bother knocking but just opened up the door and looked at her hard from across her desk.

"I need to talk to you," I said forcibly and placed my hands on my hips.

ooc: set after word about the dead slayers gets around.

She thinks it's a dirty joke when someone first tells her what's happened. It's ridiculous to believe that five of her friends, sister slayers, winded up dead and put on display in their own building. When she realizes that it's not some cruel joke, Molly flat out denies it. No one could take out five of them at one time. No one could come into their own house and do that. Slamming the door to her room, she paces back and forth trying to get the picture of the girls out of her head. Lucy isn't in the room and she considers calling Seth but she doesn't know what to say.

Molly knew every one of them. She trained with them, ate with them, partied with them, and she was one of them. The thought of someone doing something so disgusting to any of them made her sick. The idea that it could have been her on that gym floor wouldn't go away.

All this time, she thought she had been ready. Slaying vampires and sparing with them had been enough training. What Molly didn't realize was that you're never ready. The hurt hits no matter if it's expected or not. She can't get control of the ache in her chest and the fact that's she's terrified of walking out of her own room isn't going away. It's the first time since learning about who she really was that Molly is truly afraid.

They're supposed to be fighting a war. Slayers aren't built like normal girls. They're stronger, faster, and better than all the others. Built to knock the bad guys down before they can catch their breaths, not the other way around. They were the heroes in the story. Superheroes. It's what Molly has always called herself because it makes her feel that much stronger.

Finally, she stops pacing and crumbles down to her knees on the floor. Kennedy tried to prepare them for what was coming. Molly never understood that before now. She's finally understanding what Kennedy has been trying to pound into their heads all along. You can never be over prepared. The monsters are out there and it's their job as slayers, as heroes, to kill every last one of them.

Molly isn't ready yet, but she's determined that one day she will be.

Now that Thanksgiving is over and Santa paraded himself down Broadway that means it's only a month until Christmas. Christmas is, well, amazing but this year I'm expanding my horizons and opening myself up to other holiday opprotunities. Chrismukkah is an entirely new concept to this Christmas only girl of seventeen years. However, I plan to experience the magic of Chrismukkah personally since Seth is the one who keeps telling me how it's the best thing in the Judeo-Christian world.

As much as I've always loved Christmas, I know it's going to be hard now that I'm across country and all the way in Los Angeles. Part of me wants to just run back to New York for a couple days or week for the holidays, but I sort of want to spend the time here too. I miss my parents and my sisters, but a Christmas here doesn't sound half bad either.

Though there is one thing come the end of the month I'm going to miss more than even if I didn't go home for Christmas and that's New Year's Eve. I mean, come on. I'm from New York. I've gone to see the big ball drop tons of times and it's not nearly the same watching it three thousand miles away on a television screen. I guess I got spoiled growing up in the city and having all the excitement around ALL the time.

Chrismukkah magic in Los Angeles it is for me though. I honestly think it's adorable how excited Seth gets over the idea and it's still almost a month away.

In the spirit of things, and without caring about the fact I'm not Jewish, I might just have to get a mini Menorah to go up next to the mini Christmas tree in the dorm.

Oh, and something else that I LOVE about this time of year? Christmas albums!

When I first got to the Slayer school, I wasn't too sure about this place. I mean, it was a bunch of girls kicking ass and fighting evil that I didn't really want to be a part of at all. I was just fine back in my own little world living my life with the best of them. Who wants to put their life in danger on a daily basis to kill vampires? It was just.. weird. But then I got here and fiound that the girls here weren't all exactly like... well, Kennedy or even Faith. They had lives outside of slaying. Of course there was my roommate, Lucy. Lucy who didn't know if yet but would be so very glad we got put together because, as she's already mentioned, I'm the best roommate ever.

I wasn't sure about the place at first, but now I'm not wanting to go back to New York like I was at first. I'd like to go during the holidays and visit my family, but I like my life here now. I actually know that what I'm doing and learning is where I'm supposed to be.

But even though I'm here with a bunch of broody superheroes, that doesn't mean I can't make my own fun and throw a party right? Especially since Kennedy even gave us the okay.

Seth was all for the Halloween party and eventually I got Lucy to agree. She seemed kinda too excited about it after a while, but maybe she's actually getting into this holiday spirit stuff. Ryan was even coming.. and dressing up according to Seth and Lucy though Seth didn't know what he was coming as and Lucy wouldn't say. I went with a classic mafia girl costume because hey, it was fun.

It was easy to get the place ready because if there was ever a place to have a Halloween party, it's at a school where you train to kill vampires. I mean, we put away all the weapons and dangerous stuff, but still. It wasn't hard to decorate and the food was ready and out plenty of time before people were supposed to get there. Seth and Lucy were bringing Ryan so I just kept myself busy with a couple of the other girls who lived at the school and made sure everything was set before the party got started. Music on, decorations set, food tasty. It was time to get this party started!

( ooc )

Okay, listen up. Kennedy is letting us have a Halloween party at the school. I swear that somewhere, pigs are flying. Everyone's invited! Yes, that's everyone.

Lucy, I'm not taking no for an answer. If you don't come I'll make you feel TERRIBLE about it for a LONG time. You knoooow you wanna come. And Seth it's your job to get Ryan there.. and dressed in a costume. Hah!

Let me know if you're coming!

Okay, so maybe I'm overshooting here just a little. Given the company I keep (for the most part) I can see this idea getting shot down before I get the words out of my mouth. But since when has that ever stopped me from saying what's on my mind? Nope, never.

It's getting towards the end of the year and what does that mean? Besides the snow that I WON'T be able to see now that I'm in LA. Holidays! Los Angeles is going to be pretty dull compared to how everything goes on the east coast what with the huge Christmas trees, Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, the bi gapple dropping at midnight, and again I say SNOW. Anyway. Before all of that and possibly one of the lesser celebrated holidays is Halloween. The one day of the year that the little kiddies dress up and go around asking for candy from strangers and it's OKAY.

And okay fine. I'm a little old to be dressing up and going house to house asking strangers for candy. But we should all do something, right? Maybe not an all out party ... even though that sounds like a great idea ... but something.

If left up to me, we'd be having a party. Full of costumes and dancing and ghostly noises in the background and a bowl full of candy corn. It's the one night of the year we officially have off slayer-wise, so we should make the most of it right? Right. So, no arguments.
