“It could be worse.”


Buffy was kicking herself now for uttering those words. What had she been thinking? There was no surer way to jinx things than by saying something monumentally dumb, and now they were doomed. She’d opened her big mouth and made things worse.


She’d persuaded Giles to grant her some badly needed downtime, a nice, quiet evening with her friends, a quick patrol before and after, just to keep on top of things. They hadn’t even made it as far as the Bronze, which was really the only place worth hanging out, when they’d run across the demon, a nasty, toothy little thing. She’d figured she could just do her job, slay it, and then get back to the fun. After all, it was only a small demon.


So she’d slashed at it with a knife, and then instead of one small demon, she had two larger demons, and how did that even work? She cut the head off one, and then she had three demons, the last two bigger than the one she hadn’t chopped in half. Time to re-think the plan of attack.


So much for downtime; she needed Giles to consult his books, pronto.

Those pesky demons are at it again.*shakes head*

Why couldn't it be the nice ones?*sighs*

Are there nice demons? *grins*

Thank you!

Spike: Have you ever seen a chaos demon? All slime and antlers, they're disgusting!

I should say manageable for a slayer. That was explored more on Angel, where some of the lower level demons were being targeted by humans.

Less hostile demons then. I guess some just want to be left alone to live their lives.

Yeah. Pretty much. They can't help what they are. However, if they know better, they'd best stay on the down low. It's not like they can disguise themselves so easily as vampires do.

Unless you watch Charmed. All these sci-fi shows vary in regards to supernatural mythology.*shrugs*

Sone demons can and some can't, I guess it depends on the species as well as the TV show. But some are smart enough to keep their heads down.
