Ch. 4-
Madeliene marvled in the midst of her favorite cousin's room. Willow was *SO* cool. She was gorgeous, smart, had a kick-ass computer(not her origional words, mind you), and had a sweet boyfriend in a band. She could tell that much from the short conversation she had heard between him and Willow.Stripping down, she slipped into her lacy Victorian nightgown. She then proceded to brush her teeth and wash her small face.She had hardly finished these chores when her petite frame involuntarily stiffened. She got this feeling sometimes, but never this strong before. And she had felt wierd ever since she had arrived at Sunnydale, but had attributed it to jitters. Suddenly pure instinct took over. < Vampire!! Kill it!!Now, now, NOW!!!!!!!! > Not even trying to resist instinct, she search for a stake < a what?? > Settling on a giant commemoritive pencil with the words 'DISNEY LAND' on it,she marched outside, nightgown and all. Searching quickly, she decided that the creature was hiding behind the house next door, and she marched up to the demon, yelling, "You are *SUCH* A BIG FAT boogerhead!!! You have to be killed!!!!!!"
And with those words she stomped on his foot and kneed him in the groin. Surprised by the child's movements, the vampire cried out in pain. Knocking his feet out from under him, Madeliene straddled the vamp, ready to stake it when suddenly the creature gathered its wits and yanked her hair twords him, the rest of her going with it while she screamed in agony.

Ch. 5-
Buffy was so bored of patroling. she had stopped to swing when she hearded a loud yell. Using her slayer-sense, she ran toword the scream.
**********
Running hurriedly to her room, Willow grabbed a stake and a holy water balloon. Juming down the full flight of stairs in 1 bound, she ran outside to the side of her neighbor's, the Stevens's, house. Seeing the vampire that was about to suck her small cousin's blood, she yelled, "You asshole!! What the *HELL* do you think you're doing to *MY* baby cousin?! You are such a sorry bastard if you think I'm gonna let something happen to her! Dammit, let her *GO*!!"Buffy, who had arrived just in time to hear Willow's outbreak, was surpised when she saw her best friend charge at the vamp, knock Madeliene out of the monster's arms, and stake him in under 6 seconds. Coming out of her shocked-induced brain-freeze, she started clapping. Willow turned to see Buffy, picked up Madeliene and ran to Buffy talking hystarically all the way.
"I don't know what happened and it all happened so fast and it was pure instinct and what just happened and Buffy I'm so afraid and why are you clapping?"
Afraid for her friend, Buffy had been guiding her friend tword her house duing this time. Setting Willow on her couch, the redhead had calmed down enough to realize that Madeliene had gone outside, alone, been nearly killed by a vamp, and had seen a vamp dusted. She took that moment to ask her tiny cousin why she had gone outside. Madeleine had explained what had happened and by the end of her account both Buffy and Willow recognized this feeling as ones they have had before.
"Buffy,that's what happened to me! What does this mean?" Willow frantically asked.
"I don't know, Will, but I do know that we need to talk to Giles about this. He usually knows about this kind of stuff." Buffy said logically.
"If he knew about this and didn't tell me, I will kick is sorry ass worse than I did that vamp." Willow said menically.
"I think I heard you cuss more tonight than I have since I met you, did ya know that?" Buffy said.
"Ha ha, but I need to get to Giles. I want to know what the hell is going on."
Just then, the 2 heard a small voice say,"Um, Willow, what's going on? Who's Giles?"
Laughing slightly, Willow gathered her cousin up in her arms and said, "I'll tell you on the way, just let me get some jeans on. Buffy, you come,too."
Soon the 3 were on their way.
**************** "Giles!!Where the *HELL* are you? Get your ass out here *NOW*!!!" Willow's vioce rang in thre silent library.
Waking with a start, Giles wondered why Willow was at the library at midnight and why she was so angry. But ever since he was a teen-ager he knew that women were hard to figure out, so it was best to ask straight out. Stumbling out of his office, he called to the red-head,"Willow, what's wrong? why are you so angry? And why are you angry at *me*? What did.....I....do...?"Giles stopped short when he saw Willow, Buffy, and a small child that looked just like the hacker. He asked logically, "Um, Willow, who is this child? And why are you three here?"
"Oh, Giles, I will *kill* you if you knew about this and didn't try to stop it. *MY* baby cousin Madeliene gets the urge to kill vampires, on an act of pure instinct,then nearly gets killed. Then i come, save her and dust the vamp in less than 6 seconds.Now, did you know anything about this, cause if you did I will bust your ass worse than I did that vamp." Although the words came out in a huff, Giles knew that Willow meant every syllable.
"You mean to say that you and Madeliene both,on pure instinct, kill vampires and that you killed one in less than 6 seconds?" Giles asked increduously.
"And she saved Madeliene at the same time and didn't get a scatch. Believe her when she sayes she'll kick your ass. I saw her dust that vamp. She was scarier than *me* even." Buffy said in her friend's defence.
"I don't doubt your words, Buffy. Now, shall we hit the books?"
"I thought you would ever ask." Willow said, and after settling Madeliene on the couch in Giles's office, Willow joined Buffy and Giles in the stacks. Finally, at 6 that morning, Willow was the only one left, so she gently picked Madeliene up and went home to sleep.
