Shadows We Live In


A Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Big Wolf on Campus crossover By Celtic Air ~Janet

Disclaimer: Buffy is owned by Joss Whedon, master of angst. And Big Wolf on Campus is owned by someone else, I'm not sure who but it's definitely not me, so don't sue.

"Tommy do you realize that this college, this entire town in fact, is built over a hellmouth. It's home to a literal smorgasbord of supernatural creatures," Merton carried a brown packing box into the dorm he now shared with Tommy. It was they're first day of attending Sunnydale University as freshmen.

Tommy unfortunately didn't share the same excitement as his friend did, "Tell me again why I agreed to go to college here."

The black haired boy ripped off the tape from the box and looked at the items inside, eyeing a football he knew the box was Tommy's, and put it on his roommate's side of the room, "The plenitude of werewolf legends, the chance to meet some more of your 'kind'."

"My 'kind'?" He sounded a little defensive; so he was a werewolf, he wasn't that different. Instead of arguing, he retrieved the football from his box and started tossing it into the air.

Merton opened another box and found his stuff, a skull, some candles, and a few spell books. "Plus they gave me a paranormal scholarship, I'm going to be studying with the best demonologists in the country, and you, being the best friend that you are, decided top attend the same college."

Tommy plopped down on one of his beds; somewhat depressed, "I miss Stacy." Merton nodded, "Sure you do, it's normal after-high-school angst. But she's in Massachusetts and you are here, so - -"

Finishing the sentence, Tommy added, "I should get over this."

"Well... Yeah." Merton put two white candles next to the window, looking out at the campus, "There's plenty of cute girls here, maybe you'll meet one."

"Maybe" Tommy agreed, reluctantly, not really believing it.

Meanwhile, in the dorm across the campus, Willow was surfing the net, diligently, looking for the web site Oz had told her about in his postcard. He had moved away the year before, leaving his girlfriend Willow behind. He had needed to work out a few issues about his being a werewolf. Now a year later, they had both moved on. Well, he had at least, as he told her in the letter. A groupie named Terri had caught his eye. Willow sighed as she found the web site. She missed him, but didn't feel that bad that they were broken up.

The web site was professionally done to highlight Oz's band activities. It told the Internet savvy about upcoming gigs, and had pictures from past shows. It even had a place where you could order their CD online.

"Hey, Net Girl." Buffy greeted as she entered their dorm. It was one of Willow's nicknames, since she was incredibly computer literate. They were both returning as sophomores.

"Hey, Slayer," Willow acknowledged the vampire slayer, turning towards her on the computer swivel chair.

Buffy dropped her bags on her bed. "I just got in."

"What took you so long?"

Buffy smirked, "I had some last minute shopping to do."

Willow laughed, "Well, of course. Seeing Riley again is a big occasion."

"I can't believe it's been 2 months," Buffy had missed her boyfriend every minute of it.

The red head curiously pried, "So, have you seen him yet?"

"No, but I will, soon, actually I have to go meet him in a few minutes," Buffy said looking at her wristwatch. Walking to the small refrigerator, she pulled out a 'Poland Spring' water, and opened the top. Getting up, she made her way to the dorm door.

"So, I'll be out with Riley and then I'm going on patrol."

"Together?"

"No, Riley has to work tonight," Buffy gave a little pout, and opened the door. "I'll be back at, like, midnight, so don't wait up."

"Have fun" Willow called after her roommate and turned back to the computer.

******************************************************************************

Buffy was sitting outside on the campus lawn at eight o'clock that night. Riley had just left to go to work, and she was bored now. Patrol would keep her occupied though. The sun had just gone down and for the numerous vampires that cluttered the area, it was breakfast time. The slayer was waiting for some decent action. Luckily, she didn't have to wait that long.

A badly dressed non-human was spotted to her right, escorting a frightened freshman girl towards the woods. Buffy stood up, looking around, trying to find any prying, human onlookers who might find out her secret job. There were a few people around, but they didn't look like they were too interested in her.

Buffy ran into the woods, following the evil creature close enough to not be seen. Just when the vamp was about to sink his teeth into his meal, Buffy announced herself, "Don't you know it's rude to pick on freshmen?"

The vampire looked at her, recognition flashing on his fanged face, "Slayer." He dropped his meal. The terrified girl scurried away, successfully.

"Hi, how was your summer? Miss me?" She delivered a quick kick to the vampire's ribs.

"Not much," The vampire took her by surprise and threw the blond slayer against a tree. She hit it with a hard thud; pain started flowing over her. Opening her eyes she saw a tall athletic young guy. He was going to get himself in trouble, "Get out of here," Buffy yelled to him, trying to stand up.

The vampire started to approach the boy, the creature's face wrinkled and ugly.

"You get out of here, I can handle this," Tommy told Buffy. His face changed, as his eyes started to glow yellow. Buffy watched sort of shocked as Tommy changed into a werewolf, but not much since she had seen a lot of things in her life. "Let's get ready to rumble," Tommy said as he charged the vampire.

Buffy stood up finally, her head swimming. Pulling out her trusty stake, she staked the vampire right after Tommy punched him. It exploded into dust, leaving the two of them face to face.

"Hey, thanks for the assist but this is kind of my job, so leave the slaying to me," Buffy felt a little protective of her job. Plus, she didn't want to see any outsiders hurt.

The werewolf changed back into a human, calming down after the fight, "Right."

"Good." Buffy agreed as they started walking in opposite direction. Quickly, and at the same time they turn back to each other. "Please, don't tell anyone," They said in unison.

"Right." Tommy agreed.

"Good." Buffy nodded as they left in opposite directions again. TO BE CONTINUED....
