A10 Nightmares
Buffy sees a young boy at
her classroom door, but no-one else seems to see
him, they just walk past as if he wasn't there.
Not long after a disturbing chain of events
begin....
...One of Buffy's
classmates starts screaming as spiders start to
appear out of nowhere, and crawl over him and his
books...
...A female student sneeks
into the basement for a smoke, but is disturbed
by a stranger, mumbling about a lucky number, who
then attacks her...
...Buffy's dad turns up
early, supossedly to collect her for a weekend
visit. He asks her for a quiet chat, and they go
to one of the school benches. He blames her for
the break-up of his marriage, etc, and leaves her
in tears...
...Willow finds herself on
stage to perform a duet, but can't sing...
...Xander follows a trail
of chocolate bars to discover a knife wielding
clown laughing at him...
...And Giles discovers
that he can't read.
The 'nightmares' seem to
lead back to the boy, who is a young baseball
player who is in a coma after being attacked
following a lost game. Buffy manages to find
'him' wandering the school and tries to help him
escape his attacker. In the chase they end up in
the graveyard, during the day, but it's night
there. The Master sneeks out behind Buffy........
Giles and the others
regroup, gradually figuring out what's happening
and go in search of Buffy. They go into the
graveyard and find a new grave, with Buffy's name
on the headstone. Initially saddened by his
failure as Buffy's watcher, Giles, and the
others, are shocked when Buffy rises out of the
grave, as a vampire. Gathering themselves, and
putting aside the changes to Buffy they head to
the hospital to try to wake the boy, and end the
nightmares. During the battle with the 'attacker'
they realise it was the baseball teams coach that
had beaten up the boy, blaming him for the loss
of the game. The boy wakes from his coma, and the
nightmares end.
