"He should be awake by now." Frowned the cat. "I wonder why he isn't?"

"Well, perrrhaps we need anotherrr trrreatment." Another cat suggested. "Check the book."

The first cat opened her book. After flipping a few pages she came to a conclusion.

"Music." Isaac suggested instantly.

"Yes, yes that could work." The first cat replied.

Meanwhilst, in the other end of the house, Zac was conversing with Janet, a few of the other superheros and supercats, as well as the leopard Slink, who was the supercats mentor.

"There is a vampire at the gate." Slink growled softly.

"Oh, that's all we need. A blood-sucking minion of the Essence." Zac paused. "I thought he couldn't come here? Or is only the Essence unable to come here?"

"The Essence and it's minions, tools and whatnot can only come as farrr as the fence and the gate."

"We don't have to worry about them knocking them down do we?"

"No. And it wouldn't matter anyway. They can't come past the boundary."

"Well, that's good."

"I'm gonna go meet it." A voice spoke up.

They turned to the speaker.

"After all," Buffy continued. "Killing vampires is my specialty."

"Just don't forget that these are Essence-enhanced vampires girl." Janet warned.

"Volunteering to come with me?"

"How long do you suppose we'll have to wait?" Isaac asked.

"Could be minutes, could be days." The cat replied simply.

After one last glance at Taylor and Kristin, they left the room.
