Title: Unforseen Consequences
Author: Gylzgurl
Summary: When Kathryn reunites with her past in New York, unforseen consequences occur. CI/BtVS x-over.
Author's Notes: At the end of the CI movie, Sabastian never died. At the end of season seven of BtVS when Buffy told Spike she loved him, Spike believed her. Also, Buffy is Kathryn. Her real name in this fic is Elizabeth Kathryn Metuil. 'Buffy' is just a childhood nickname. And Sabastian knows about Buffy's slayerness. Sabastian knows everything that went on and vice versa. Buffy, in writing, will be refered to as Buffy. She will only be referred to as Kathryn by certain people. I also have a few surprises up my sleeve. I guess you'll just have to wait and find out. Mawhaha...
A/N 2: These are not all the letters that Buffy writes. Only the major ones. If I put in all of them then we would never get to the actual story. Also, this chapter was not Beta-ed. That'll happen after my Beta gets back.
Spoilers: Everything except the second CI movie.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own them. If I did, then I'd have more then two dollars and a few pennies in my wallet.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
Dear Sabastian,
I'm adjusting to California and Aunt Joyce is being wonderful about everything. I've even taken to calling her mom. It makes it easier than to actually explain the real situation to people. I've even had my last name changed to be the same as Aunt Joyce and Uncle Hank's. It's just so much easier this way. Besides, Aunt Joyce was always more of a mother to me than Mom to me every was. All she ever seemed to be was my birth mother and someone to show me off to all her friends whenever they came to visit.
It was always "Kathryn can do this", "Look at what Kathryn can do", Kathryn, Kathryn, Kathryn. I've always hated that name. But when I reached High School she refused anyone from calling me Buffy anymore. She said it was too childish. Hmph! Says the only one who treated me like nothing more than a prized trophy. That's the only time she ever talked to me.
I'm very glad I'm not in that enviornment anymore. I really wasn't liking what I was becoming. No, change that. I don't like who I had become. I guess I should thank your girlfriend for that. Just don't tell her I said that. I'll deny it if ever asked and you know I will.
I just can't help but wonder when everything started going downhill. When everything changed. Whenever I start to pinpoint a certain event I always remember something else. I guesss we'll never really know when everything changed. But I'm starting to be thankfull that it did. If it didn't change then I wouldn't finally be finding a place where I think I may belong. Besides, Los Angeles seems like a nice place to live and I've already made a lot of friends at Hermery. I just wish you were here with me.
Love,
Buffy Summers
Dear Sabastian,
Okay, remember when I said that Los Angeles seemed like a nice place to live? What the fuck was I thinking! You can definitly forget the last part of that letter I sent. The strangest thing just happened to me and I am scared out of my mind.
I was waiting outside of the gym for Tyler to come out when this old guy named Merrick approaches me and says something about my destiny and that he's my watcher. I told him I didn't have one and then he started saying some stuff about vampires and the forces of darkness. I thought he was crazy. But then he took me to a cemetry later that night and it turns out either he wasn't lying or I've gone crazy. There in the cemetry was this guy who attacked us. When I staked him in the heart with a wooden stake he turned to dust. Just like that.
When I came home I was so scared and Aunt Joyce seemed to know something was wrong. Uncle Hank just thought I was sneeking out with a guy getting into more trouble like before. I was so scared that I told them what happened and I'm pretty sure they think I'm crazy or something.
I don't know what to do, Sab. I'm so scared.
Love,
Buffy
Dear Sabastian,
They locked me up. I finally convinced the doctors that I wasn't "sick" anymore and they let me go home.
I don't want to go back to that place, Sab. Please don't let them take me again.
Love,
Buffy
Dear Sab,
Merrick's dead. Lothos, the big wig vampire that I told you about, killed him right in front of me. I wanted to go to him but Pike took me away as fast as his mororcycle could go. Which saved my life in the end. I wasn't prepared to face Lothos yet. If I had faced him then then I probably would be dead, too. But I killed him in the end.
He attacked our school dance last week when it happened. All of his minion vampires were there attacking students left and right. Pike helped me in the fight. I was able to stop them, but at a cost. I had to burn down the gym in order to do it. I got expelled, too. The fire marshal didn't really buy the story of there being mice that were smoking.
Mom and Hank divorced. It's final. Mom and I are moving to some small town called Sunnydale. It sounds peaceful. Maybe I'll actually get some rest for a change and throw this destiny crap out the window.
Love,
Buffy
Dear Sab,
Remember when I said I wasn't right about LA being a nice place to live? Well, Sunnydale's worse. Much worse. It's atop a thing called La Boca del Inferno. Appearently it means the Mouth of Hell. Pleasent, huh?
And I can't escape my destiny either. There was another watcher there waiting for me at the school when I got there. His name is Giles. But he doesn't seem as uptight and anal as Merrick was about destiny and duty. He's just really stufy about it. But that's probably just the British version of anal and uptight. I'll let you know when I find out.
I met two new friends. They're not in the popular croud, which is a major change for me. But a good change. I think.
Their names are Willow and Xander. Willow is so innocent, sweet, and extremely smart. Xander is the goofiest person I've ever met. But the best part? They both know about the slayerness and they still want to be my friends. Their loyalty is unconditional and I've never had that before. Except for you that is. And I don't want anything to ever ruin that. I never want them to have to find out about the person I used to be. It would crush them.
Love,
Buffy
Dear Sab,
Congradulations with Annett. I know Annett and I never got on well, but since she makes you happy I guess that's all that matters. Also, don't tell her I ever said that. You know I'll deny it if asked.
I want pictures and lots of them when you get married. I know you two want a long engagement but the wedding will have to come sooner or later. And when it does I want pictures. I wish I could be there in person on the day, but we both know that isn't possible. One, because of why I left and two, because of the Hellmouth.
But onto other news, just promise you won't kill me first... 'Cause I kind of already have that covered. Remember the Master I told you about a while ago? Well, there was this prophecy that said that he'd kill me and he did. But don't worry. I'm not a vampire or anything. Xander and Angel found me and Xander did CPR. He saved me. Then I went to the high school, kicked some master vampire butt, and killed him.
Now that it's over I can't stop thinking about when he killed me. I can't stop thinking about my life. I guess dieing will do that to a person. I just wish I had never become the Slayer. Then none of this would have ever happened.
Love,
Buffy
PS- I am going to Hank's for the summer if you need to contact me. I just can't be in Sunnydale right now. It's too much.
Dear Sab,
So much has happened since I wrote you last. The last thing I told you about was Kendra's appearence. That seems like forever now.
When you get this I also won't be in Sunnydale anymore. I can't tell you where I'm going because I don't even know yet. I guess I'll figure that out when I get there.
About two months ago Angel lost his soul. I don't want to go into details about it right now, it hurts too much. When he lost his soul he became Angelus again and started killing everyone. Drusilla killed Kendra, broke Xander's arm, and put Willow in a coma. I don't know if she's going to wake up. But if she does, I won't behere for it.
Algelus killed Jenny and tortured Giles. Angelus was planning to suck humanity into Hell so I had to stop it and him. I went to the mansion and was about to kill him when something happened. His soul was returned and he was Angel again. He didn't remember anything that happened. But it was too late. The portal was already opening and I had to kill him. So I told him I loved him and then I ran him through with my sword.
To top it all off, Mom now knows I'm a slayer and she believes me. But after she found out she told me that if I left the house then I was never to return. I had no choice. I had to leave or the world would end.
What with that, Angel, and the police wanting me because they think I killed Kendra, I have no reason to stay. I've already packed a bag and left a note for Mom so she won't think I'm dead or something. I'll let you know where I am when I get there. But only if you promise not to tell Mom.
And don't worry about me. I can take care of myself. I don't need you protecting me the rest of my life. Besides, it's already too late.
Love,
Buffy
