mood: determined music: Salve Regina

I have neglected my journal. In the midst of all that was happening writting seemed to be of little importance. The training, the fighting - both of monsters and amoung firends - it all sort of sweeps on away. I have made my peace with the slayer, though. And I feel that prehaps Dwayne and Twitch are two that I can count on the most. Xander is compident, but his priorties lay with the slayer.
A new evil had reared its head, and it is a foolish man with a good intentions. I believe there is a saying about the road to hell... yes? He lead us into a trap, he uses the same magics he wishes to destroy to trap us there. The horrors that he laid forth before me.. and the others; retelling of it makes it too painful... to...real. This man, however is a fool. He has shown me something I should have realized long ago. That I have, and have had, the most powerful weapon I could ask for all along, my faith. He has shown me this powerful new weapon, and he has struck down Dwayne, I will come for this wizard, this Edgar . In the mean time I can only pray for us all, and plan. |

mood: contemplative music: Five For Fighting's "Superman"

Well tracking down these Wedigo was very easy. I admit, this, what did Xander call it, "Scooby"? Gang does come in handy when hunting down things. Ramones powers are very impressive. The crime scene only revealed a claw and a very nasty snack bar.
Xander called Dwayne, I HAVE to get one of these cell phones, Xander was concerned that we may not need help. Xander truely is amazing, so strong yet not afraid of his sensitive side. His witch friend sent aid in the form of another slayer. Kennedy, she has been Xanders friend for some time it seems. I saw it as an oppertunity to learn more about him, but I beleive I may have went on too long. Kennedy seems to get a sense of my feelings for Xander. She is the lover of his friend Willow, and understands. She didnt say anything to the others, I respect that. Prehaps not all slayers are bad.
While attacking the Wedigos it seems they had recruited help. We split into 3 man squads and surrounded the demons. I suggested Kennedy and I watch Twitch since he seems to be upset by the use of everyone elses "powers". I often think Twitch is the closest I have to kindred, he fights in the old ways with what he has been given or earned. He isnt handed magical slayer girl powers, or become some creature. Twitch was in a moment of danger as a Vahrall demon snatched him up. I had to do something, it was my fault he was on this line of attack I wouldnt let him be harmed. Ramone covered the one that I had to turn my back to, for a blind man he shoots rather well. Kennedy left this morning and I got her e-mail. Prehaps I can learn to like a slayer, and should things not work out here prehaps she would have use of another hand in her fights.
A suprise came when the slayer returned. As she stood in the doorway of the training room, whinning about how boring her spoiled rich girl life of jacuuzzis and rolling in piles of money was, completely ignoring all the discomfort the rest of us were in... Ramone walks up to her and gives her flowers, he wants to go out with her tonight...no wonder he is alwasy so curt with her.. designing a training program, the poor man likes this spoiled brat and fears he cant live up to her expectations! hmm this may have possiblities.. |

Xander has taken the girl Beth away. He is seeking help in determining why she was made into a zombie. Why did he not take me though?? I know that Xander is very capable, this makes him all the more desirable, but why not invite me along? There is strength in numbers.
I was confused, and a little hurt until I found out the lil slayer girl was out of town.. OFCOURSE! Xander would want me by his side, but he could not leave the town unprotected. While Twitch and Ramone have proved themselves to be valuable, Xander could not trust them to safe guard the whole city! He left the keys to the training room with the Hunter. The hunter is skilled as well. I can tell this. Xander was wise to leave this man as well. I stated before, there is strength in numbers.
Training today was interesting, I have learned that Ramone's ASS is inprevious to penitration. I drove deep into it again and again with my spear but it had not ill effects. Ramone seemed almost bored. Twitch even joined me in pounding on Ramones ASS, he is small but fierce, I will say that for Twitch.
After training we notice two native americas, one male, one female, watching us. They turn out to be a type of hunter themselves. Taking strenght from animal totems. Prehaps I have thought wrong of magic.. I have often swore that it is not the answer to holding the dark things at bay, but so many on the side of light are empowered by mystic forces. I may have to ask Ramone, or the co-eds to look into helping me strengthen myself magically as well. They seek the slayer. HA! I explain I am as powerful and compitent as the slayer. I would gladly help them out. The man, he is quite attractive, but he is not Xander, shows us a newspaper. From the horrible description, I gather it is a demon. I am not so familiar but it seems to be a Wendigo, my country does not suffer from many of these creatures. As I remeber it isa merger of a demon and a wicked human who voluntarily becomes a host. Ramone recognizes the creatures as well.. he knows them better than I, but he is ofcourse from this country. After gaining the help of the female, ramone is able to alter his spell of location to find the Wendigos. there are three of them.
I will prove to Xander my abilities once more. I will make safe his town so when he returns he will know of my great prowless in protecting this place. I will show him he was not unwise in leaving me to protect the people while he is away one business and the little slayer girl is no doubt at some country club having someone wait on her hand and foot. |

The day started out well enough. Classes, then off to the library to see Xander and prehaps train some more. The more I train with the slayer the more I realize that she has strength and abilities I may never be able to match. This is not fair. Ramone has developed training techiniques to help, but the slayer seems to progress quicker than I.
Ramone thought it might be fun to catch a movie. I wasnt sure, but saw a movie about witches that looks fun. I am not certain why a blind man wants to go to a movie. I asked Xander if he would like to go to the movies, and he agreed that before our hunt we could go. I invited Twitch as well so Ramone would not feel like a third wheel.
After the movie we spread out across town. Xander and I went to the graveyards while the slayer and the computer girl went to the morgue. Something about a new vampire waking up. Ramone stayed at the library to work on a new spell.
The spell was a vampire location spell. It worked very well apperently. A large concentratioin of vampires was found at the old steel plant near the college and the whole crew assembled to help dispatch these monsters. This is when things went badly. Not because of the vampires, although I have learned that they are somewhat harder to kill than demons. Ramone tried out a leathal version of his training Autonomous Slaying Spirits (A.S.S.) and they worked very well. Ramones ASS can take quite the beating I have discovered.
After the thigns were dispatched, it is determined that this Beth girl who has been with us for sometime is a zombie. Twitch loses what little mind he has left. I had hoped the suprises would end there but it turns out that our friend the werewolf hunter doesnt just hunt werewolves, he's a member too! THIS IS UNFAIR! I have hunted the things that plague humanity for years before this little girl is HANDED the powers I have trained and fought long and hard for. WHY does she get a veritable ARMY of power in addition to this! I HAD to say something.
Luckily Xander calmed me down, he reasoned that the five magic students of Ladley had me to thank for being alive, as many others in my homeland. I see now Xander REALLY appreciates my presence, I will do my best not to fall him. |

Knowing what we have learned of these students Xander is certain they are attempting to contact a demon and that we should intervein. Natalie the Wonder Staker wants to jump in her ever-inconspicous hummer the size of a house and folloe these kids. I have a better idea. I have experience with demons, and I have much in common with them. I explain to Xander and the others that I am certain i can infultrate the group. We can learn much more this way and prehaps prevent whatever it is they wish to do. I resolve to enter a chat room we know they frequent and attempt to get into conversation with them. While waiting for the five to arrive I chat with various people. Three seem to accually know what they are talking about, and accually have information and ideas I had never heard before.
The five eventally come in and I am able to gain their trust that they come over and speak with me. It should be mentioned that I did not lie to these children or to any of the people in the chat room. Misinformation is often more dangerous than the acual facts. I did use care to guard telling the whole truth. Yes I seek demons, (becuase I wish to kill them all). The five are very excited to have a new friend. I get the distinct impression that these are good people, they suffer from the loneliness I know too well being so far from home and so different from everyone around me. They just do not understand that the promises of demons are NOT to be trusted. They seek the demon Molok, who Xander thought was destoryed after somehow being put onto the internet.
Twitch worries, and even frightens, us all. But more so when he says something that begins to make sense. He some how devised a plan to trap this cyber demon using a cyber seal. If I am understanding it all correctly. Dwayne has shown up and wants to help, so he gives Twitch something he calls "ranger pudding" and sends him vibrating on his way.
I meet the five at near midnight after hours of preperation. The others will follow in smaller cars and Twitch will stay be hind to spring the cyber trap on the cue by Xander. The five seem to have been practicing their craft in an old base-ball field under the bleechers, and with a shoddy pentagram draw on a blanket.. this would almost be laughable if I didnt know the trouble these new friends are in. The ritual begins and a demon is summoned. It is not Molok. It is a fyral demon! This could have led to much pain since these demons are imprevious to all but silver and Dwayne happends to have lots of silver. .45mm silver, hand cannon sliver. Lots of silver.
On cue Twitch slams the cyber trap shut at the critical point and Molok is trapped, the five are shattered. I feel a bit guilty for this, but there is the matter of the nasty tank of a demon to deal with first. It is a suprisingly short fight, Dwayne is very good at making things dead apprently.. I wonder if he has a following like the slayer..
I take my new friends, all terribly upset back to their dorms. I promise them that things will ok and I will explain it all in the morning. I need to help these five through this. I understand the pain of feeling the need to be always better, to always out do myself and show those who dont believe in me I AM someone. I will do my best to help these new friends of mine. To show them the easy answer isn't always the right one. |

When I got out of classes this afternoon I headed over to the library to see Xander. Natalie and Ramone were there as well and were preparing a training program. It was a most amazing thing to watch. Ramone used his powers to control several weapons and attack Natalie. I am jealous of the slayers powers, but I am impressed by her skill as well. I have asked Ramone to work on something for me to maybe even the odds should the slayer and I train against one another. Later as Xander and I were cleaning up the classroom that girl Beth came in. There is something about her, I haven't put my finger on it yet.. Beth tells us of these five students who leave at night and have been acting strange.
Xander asks Beth to look into it more. Beth, with the help another of Natalie's groupies.. damnit I've been fighting the "forces of evil" for years and the best I have is a cat who occasionally walks into walls, and this little girl gets an army?! Even Twitch, though seriously misguided and in need of mental help, has sought out the dark things of the world while Princess Natalie eats her chocolate chip pancakes! What does he have?? I bet he still lives with his parents! But I digress. It is discovered that the students all have a deep interest in the Occult, all come from towns that seem to have occult backgrounds, and they all take identical classes. Their look of blonde hair and blues eye and similar dress has some of the group calling them "the co-eds of the damned" I believe this is another movie refrence which is evading me. I will ask Xander to expalin it later. As for now I think I have an idea. |

| What a Night |

It had started out as an ordinary night, I was making my way out of Harris Hall when I heard something that was a combination of shuffling and bumping noises and muffled crying. I go to investigate. I find an odd fellow in a loud shirt and sunglasses walking into the wall. After determining that he is not a member of the theatre department I assist him in getting out of Harris hall, apprently he is blind.
Ramone, the poor blind boy, is a psychology major here at the Univeristy. He explained he had been trapped in Harris for hours when he took a wrong turn after being bumped into. We decide to get something to eat, finding out that Ramone and I are both fans of big hot meat we decide on a steak house. Applebee's had to pass for that steakhouse.
At dinner I discover that Ramone is a very talented eas-dropper and he points out some young girl and this amazingly handsome man. I could tell by his fashion sense that this man and I had something in common so I was determined to meet him. Ramone usign his newly useful skills found out the mans name is Zander and that he works in the old library. Ramone and I seek out this Zander that surely is a most sought after item, the next morning. Ramone attempts to get in with some ramblings about Hell Mouths and Slayers and such. Apperently Zander and I have even more in common than I thought. I decide to take the wise approach and say nothing letting Zander admire my good sense as well as the inspiring physcial specimen that I am.
Later that evening Ramone shows me how he spends his spare time, with a lawn chair and Buskirk feild "senseing vampires", I asked if he could track demons in much of the same way. He attempted to do so but was having some trouble.. if he can better train this ability prehaps I can put him to some use in tracking those foul things. Getting quickly bored of his lawn chair one man show, I decide to retire home and have a few drinks, I invite Ramone alone simply for the company. This turned out as a lucky break as Zander called Ramones cell phone a few hours later and began asking out me!! Finding out that I was there, Zander asked me out to IHop for waffles on the buff girl from AppleBee's.
The waffles were very good, and made even better by the presence of Zander. Despite his some what timid demeanur, he has a every masculine side, as shown that he slays vampires ( we have more and more in common every time we speak). On a side note I must better guard what I say as it seems that my vague understanding of American culture has made this gentleman we met very uncomfortable. He says his name is Dwayne and reminds me much of a "Red Green" character I saw on the PBS once after discovering I had fallen asleep drunk. The major difference is that this Dwayne seems to own a very big guy and doesnt have an amusing side-kick in hip-waders.
Before leaving I asked Zander more about what he does. I have asked to tag along on one of his adventures. This will acomplish many things, first I can show Zander that I am a stalker of evil (an good at it too) and the next is to watch that flirty little "slayer" girl. It would be just like her to try and take Zander from someone who is accually good enough for him. |
