A/N: I know this is a little short but it's basically just an introduction so the other chapters will be much longer than this one.

Chapter one

Although strong, her body seemed to turn into jello as she quivered on the ground. The tall snake-like creature hovered over her like a master. He placed his large webbed hand over her fragile head and inhaled deeply.

"A strong mind you have young girl. You have the intelligence of a 30 year old scholar, despite your 13 year old appearance." He took his hand off her golden blonde hair and paced slowly back and forth, breathing with extreme inhales and exhales.

The girl's lower lip began to tremble as she softly spoke, "Please, let me go. I-I can't stay here. I have to meet my mother."

The creature halted for a second to let in a chuckle, "Your mother? There's no doubt she won't be looking for you. She doesn't even know you."

The girl gulped, "She will." Fear stayed engulfed in her tonsils as she tried to swallow it down. The fear of being killed before meeting her mother made her wonder if she should fight to the death.

The creature chuckled once more as he nodded his head, "Yes your definition of courage seems a little bit weary don't you think?"

She looked into his eyes with pure fury, "You're wrong." Her eyes met his and it was as if that moment had been suspended forever. They stayed in that same position for at least a half an hour before a woman in stylish yet fightable clothing with another girl and an old man behind her dropped in from the ceiling.

The trance was broken immediately and the little girl knew exactly who this woman was.

The new girl spoke, "Hello Fryal. I heard you were in town and decided you deserved a little welcome back party." She whipped out her axe and held it firmly in her right hand. Fryal's eyes glinted red and within a second the axe had left Buffy's hand, and Fryal lay dead on the floor.

The little girl watched in awe at the spot where the snake-like creature had once been glaring at her a few seconds ago. She gulped in shock as she bit her lower lip.

The others walked over to her and the strong one kneeled down beside her. "Hi, I'm Buffy. I'm guessing you're another new slayer?"

The girl looked at her with speculation, "Uh, no. I-I'm Lara. I'm not really a slayer."

Buffy nodded still with a curious stare upon her face. "Then who are you?" Her eyes stuck like super glue to Lara's eyes and she tried to examine exactly every feature of them.

Lara gulped as she looked into Buffy's eyes with warm welcome wishes, "I'm you're daughter."
