heard of buffy season eight? this takes place in the same universe that season eight is in: buffy crushed the seed: willow is now powerless.

Buffy would have been temporarily pushed aside by Vamp Freddie, forcing Carly to grab some wood (possibly a chair or a stake) and dusting him.

I actually changed the idea a little to have Freddie sired by a vampire who's face is not seen (or described). At the end, after Buffy's left and Freddie's dusted, Carly is talking to Sam when it is revealed that Sam was the vamp who sired Freddie, before she proceeds to bite Carly. I'm leaving that open for other stories.
