Annabelle catches up to Jennifer a few moments later when she sees Jennifer lying out in the middle of the street where the sun is still shining down.

As she slows down and gets closer, she sees two all too familiar puncture wounds on her neck.  A check of her life signs indicate the new Slayer is dead.

Killed by a vampire under the rays of the sun.

Annabelle immediately draws her wooden stake, ready for action, and slowly turns a full circle looking for Jennifer's attacker.

Seeing no one, she squats down, vainly trying to find a pulse.  Finally she stands up again, looking around for any clue as to what happend.

"Stupid, stupid girl!  Why did you run?!  Did you see the ghost of your dead watcher like I did?  But you didn't have a watcher did you?  And even if you did, there should be no ghosts from the past with First Evil now defeated."

Annabelle get no answer from the dead girl or anyone else.  No one springs to attack her or anything else.

It's just the two girls; one living, one dead out on the street.

Annabelle walks back to the Summers house to tell the others what she found.

"Jennifer is dead.  She's lying in the middle of the street a few blocks away, with a vampire bite wound on her neck.  And I found her underneath the sun."

"That doesn't mean anything. She could've been drained in the darkness and her body could've been thrown into the sun for some reason. People don't actually weigh all that much to vampires."

He'd be more inclined to believe someone threw her then the idea of a daywalker.

"That's probably what happened.  It's late in the day, plenty of shady places for a vampire to emerge." Annabelle said half heartedly.  She was thinking more about why Jennifer ran, than how she died.

"I don't suppose anyone heard her talking to herself upstairs did they?"

"She probably just freaked out at the idea that she was the head slayer now, and tried to run away. Unfortunately for her, she didn't understand that running off in a city full of Turok Han was likely to be her final mistake. By the way...learn from it. None of you run off by yourselves. It won't end any better for you guys."

Mike knew if they all run during the day, they could leave HIM behind. He rather hopes they don't. But wait...

"Annabelle...do you feel any stronger? Since she died, you may have awakened as a Slayer."
