Buffy the Vampire Slayer
3 total works
As if Ring Day weren't enough to make Buffy Summers anxious (she can't even afford one of the less expensive silver bands), the Slayer has her hands full trying to figure out why an average split-level house in Sunnydale has all the vampires spooked. When she arrives at the library to discuss this new development with Giles, a package he's received from an old folklorist in Russia reveals what's going on: The stars are properly aligned for an attempt to resurrect Koschei the Deathless, a long-dead evil sorcerer. So while her classmates are busy choosing rings to demonstrate their school spirit, Buffy must figure out how to keep someone from reviving Koschei and, should she need to resort to plan B, how to kill him again.
A little investigating soon leads Buffy and the gang to the necromancer who originally killed the sorcerer, an immortal Russian sorceress named Yulia Dryanushkina, who can control vampires (which explains their reluctance to pass by her place of residence). When the crew pays Yulia a visit, she assures them that with Willow's assistance, she would be able to kill the sorcerer again should he be revived.
Neither Buffy nor Willow are particularly comfortable with aligning themselves with the necromancer, but they have no other choice when, twenty-four hours later, the vampires start behaving strangely . . . and half the senior class goes missing.

New York City 1977 is a great time to be a vampire. Serial killer Son of Sam is on the loose and is dominating the newspaper headlines, drawing attention away from any less conspicuous killings. At the same time a blackout gives them free rein on the city streets, allowing them to get away with murder. Vampire Slayer Nikki Wood, struggling to bring up her son Robin in comparative safety, already has her work cut out keeping them both alive. Things get rapidly worse for Nikki when Spike and Drusilla hit town, since Spike is determined to bag himself a Slayer. Before he can move in for the kill, however, the local vampire community catches wind of his presence -- and when they start messing with him, things get bloody interesting...
Buffy has enough problems in her everyday life (Ring Day is coming up and she can't even afford one of the less expensive silver bands). Then she discovers that the stars are properly aligned for an attempt to resurrect a long-dead evil sorcerer. A little investigating leads Buffy and the gang to the necromancer who killed the sorcerer long ago – an immortal of Russian descent named Yulia Dryanushka, who can control vampires – and who just happens to live in an ordinary slpit-level house in Sunnydale, California. When Buffy and the crew pay Yulia a visit, she assures them that, with Willow's help, she is powerful enough to kill the sorcerer for a second time, should he be successfully revived. Both Buffy and Willow are uncomfortable with aligning themselves with a necromancer, and are unsure if they can trust their new ally. But they have no choice when, twenty-four hours later, the vampires of Sunnydale start behaving strangely, and evil is awakening rather sooner than they expect...
