All characters in the BtVS, Angel, & Watcher series are property and copyright of Fox, Mutant Enemy, Joss Whedon, and any others I might have left out. I do NOT own any privileges to the BtVS, Angel, and Watcher characters. HOWEVER, I DO own Isabelle, Shalimar, Rayvin, Kyla, and any other made up characters along the way. All hail the great & powerful Joss, without whom, this fan fiction would not be possible!

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Yeah, I know this is a tired plot, Buffy dies, blah, blah, she gets raised, blah, blah, she saves...wait. That's enough. Also--when you're reading Isabelle's lines and you wonder about her accent, think Drusilla...

Anyway...hopefully this is a fresh setting to that plot. This story takes shape in the year 2113 during the fifth World War, and in a period of 24 hours. This time, it's the forces of darkness against the "white hats" of the New World. By 'New World' I mean vampires, demons, witches, and the like being open and integrated into the public. The War has taken a toll on everyone and everything and there is only one warrior who can put an end to it. THE Slayer.

Spike is a Commander in the War, serving as the head of the Thirteenth Battalion, and this story is told from the point-of-view of Spike's second- in-command, and fellow vampire...or should I say vampyress, Rayvin. Rayvin is about the only being Spike trusts any more, seeing as how she is an immortal just like him. He knows she'll never betray him in any way, and she knows that he will never sell her out. Rayvin is pretty much an outsider and is in the dark as to nearly all of Spike's past; she knows a bit and has heard rumors, but she doesn't know much for sure. This story is about her finding out all about her mentor and idol, Spike...and all about her glimmering heroine, the Slayer...

AND--in the banner, Victoria Pratt is the actress I've chosen to play Shalimar...seeing as how she plays Shalimar FOX on Mutant X. Shiri Appleby from Roswell is the actress taking on the role of Isabelle, and Yancy Butler of Witchblade is playing the lead role of Rayvin. I do NOT know these people, nor have I ever met them...although I wish I had...*eg* They own themselves...yada, yada, yada, and so on and so forth...
