I ran into Rona this morning when I was leaving for work, and she asked me how I got the bruises on my face. At first I thought she was joking, some sort of Slayer-healing barb, but she was serious. I reminded her of Dracula and she seemed to remember then, but she also still seemed a little confused. How could she possible forget a fight like ( Read more... )

Yes, I am out of bed and moving around again, albeit somewhat slowly. The bruises are still obvious, but not as bad as before. The rumor about my "mugging" has circulated amongst the faculty and students here at the school, so no one's asking any questions, which is nice.

I filled Buffy in on the Faith situation. She wasn't pleased. She told me a little about her last encounter with Dracula and, based on that information, I've begun searching for possible locations where he might be holed-up ( Read more... )

I spoke with Xander last night about Faith. His first reaction was that she might be killing again, but then he came up with a different idea. It seems there was an incident a few years ago involving Buffy and Dracula (still can't believe the guy really exists), and something I said about Faith's behavior made Xander think of it. I'm not sure ( Read more... )

I hate to do this, but I need to get this out, and I'm not ready for everyone to know what happened yet.

When I opened the door and saw her standing there, I didn't know what to say. I was surprised, to say the least. I was happy to see her, happy that she was finally coming to me, was ready to talk to ( Read more... )
