BtVS by Whedon & Mutant Enemy
-----------------------------------------------


Buffy was staking vampires left and right, but she slipped on a piece of wet moss and slammed her head into a tombstone.

Blood poured from the cut on her head as she turned to face the vampire standing over her.

The vampire had a second to laugh in triumph before a brown-haired man staked him from behind.

“You saved me,” she said, still slightly dazed. “Thank you.”

“No problems,” he said, and walked away, whistling.


Later that night, Buffy pulled a vamp off a girl in an alleyway, but the victim was already dead.

With rage in her eyes, Buffy turned to face the vamp, but she recognized his human face.

“You, you’re the one who saved me. Why?”

“What can I say? You’ve saved the world, a lot.”

Her stake slammed into his heart and he drifted away as a pile of dust.
