Chapter 1


The girl was running very fast, a vampire at her heels. She turned to glance at him, then stumbled over a root and crashed to the ground. The vampire grabbed her shoulder and moved in for the kill, but, shaking off the effects of her fall, the girl spun around and kicked him away.

" Still rusty, but I'm getting there…"

The vampire growled and attacked. It was his last mistake. Grabbing a branch, the girl stabbed him in the heart, and he muttered "shit" before turning into dust.

The girl got to her feet quickly, and tried to fix her long, blond hair. She could see some teenagers walking nearby, and she could only hope that they wouldn't see her. However, her hopes were quickly dashed when one of the girls, a red-head, walked over to her, looking concerned. "Hey, are you ok?"

" Yes, I'm fine. I just…" she suddenly realized how bad she looked. She was covered in dirt, and blood was dripping from one of her hands, which she quickly hid behind her back." ...um...this guy...he tried to steal my wallet."

" What guy?" asked the red-headed girl, not seeing anyone around.

" I guess he ran off..."

Another teenager, this one blond, came over, "Hey, Will, are we going to…" She then really looked at the girl and frowned, seeing the cuts and bruises.

" It was just a robber, not one of our night friend," the red-head spoke up before the blond could ask.

"I was just taking a walk. I'm some family here, and I got a bit bored. I'm Eve, by the way."

The red-head smiled, "I'm Willow, and this is Buffy, and Xander, and Oz."

Eve gave them a quick once-over. Oz was a small, red-head, much like Willow, although his color looked fake. Xander looked at her suspiciously, and she felt a little worried. When she got to Buffy, she frowned slightly. There was something familiar about her...

"So, um, there's really only one place around here to hang out in, and that's the Bronze." said Willow, trying to be friendly.

Eve smiled slightly, but before she could say anything, Buffy pulled Willow aside, "Can I speak with you for a sec? Will, why did you ask her to come along?"

" Because she looks lonely, and bored, and...and...I really don't have to explain myself to you."

" Relax, Will, it's ok. It's just...there's something familiar about here...in this really strange way."

"Well, you're the Slayer, so you're supposed to keep people safe, right? She's alone in Sunnydale, so you should help keep her safe."

"Ok," sighed Buffy "whatever…"

"Let's go!" Willow grabbed Oz's hand and headed for the Bronze.

As they walked! , Xander glanced at Eve, "So...do you have a boyfriend?"

She shook her head. He seemed to be trying to be nice, so she wanted to say something else but didn't know what. She really didn't want to go to the Bronze. All she wanted to do right now was find a place to stay the night. Sighing, she glanced around and realized that Buffy was staring quite closely at her. She stared back. She seemed to feel what Buffy was feeling. Frowning, she tried to figure out how that was happening.

As they walked into the Bronze, Eve felt even more lonely. Everywhere there were teenagers dancing and having a good time with their friends. She just wanted to get out of there...but she didn't want to leave Buffy. There was something about her that made her feel...safe.

Willow and Oz went off to talk with some of the members of the band, Xander headed off to find his girlfriend Cordelia, and Buffy and Eve were suddenly alone.

Looking a little awkward, Buffy spoke up, "So...um, are you going to Sunnydale High?"

" Yes, of course. My aunt took me there today. Met the principal."

" Really? What do you think of Mr. Thompson?"

" Well, he's...y'know...a principal," answered Eve.

" Yeah…" said Buffy. Eve was obviously lying. There was no Mr. Thompson, only Principal Snyder. But, why would she lie about that?

The group made small-talk and danced for another two hours, before heading out, the Scoobies going one way, Eve another.

"Eve said she enrolled in Sunnydale High and met the principal, but when I asked how she liked Mr. Thompson, she didn't notice that I used the wrong name. I just can't figure out why she'd lie about that, though.," sighed Buffy, confused.


" I don't know." shrugged Willow "Maybe she didn't meet him 'cause she can't go to school or something."

" I dunno, Will. Why would she say she was going if she couldn't? And, her hand was bleeding. She also told me that she is looking for her brother."

"What?"

"She said that he was some kind of juvenile delinquent or something and that she hadn't seem him in a long time."

They kept discussing her until they got home. "Did you notice how much she looks like you, Buffy?"

"No, she doesn't!" said Buffy, very decidedly. But, as she began to think about it, Eve did look a lot like her. Same hair, same skin color, same green eyes, same narrow nose. They looked almost like...like...sisters.

All night, she thought about it. The next day, when she went to school, everyone began to confuse her with Eve. Giles even called Eve 'Buffy' at least three times! She was getting very annoyed.

"Everyone in the world had a double, Eve's probably just yours. Besides, she did get enrolled in our school, just like she said she had. I'm feeling really weird following her around, Buffy," complained Willow.

" I'm not" grinned Xander, making Buffy and Willow give him unbelieving stares.

" It just seems really strange to me, how much she looks like me…" Buffy sighed, deciding to continue following Eve that evening, unable to accept Willow's double theory.

They hid in the bushes, following her, but nothing was happening. " I feel stupid," whispered Xander "Buffy, you're the Slayer, why do we have to hide?"

"Shush!" Buffy whispered back "I want to see if she's hiding something. So just be quiet!! "

An hour passed, and they grew even more bored. Then, suddenly, a vampire attacked Eve. Buffy, jumped up, ready to run to her assistance, but she quickly slayed the vampire without any help. Two more attacked, and she took those down with ease. The gang was now gawking at her in surprise, although she couldn't see them. Turning around, she saw the surprised Buffy.

"Who are you?" demanded Buffy.

Eve had a stunned look on her face, closely resembling Buffy when she was caught slaying. "I...well...I'm not crazy, all right? I'm the Vampire Slayer!" She frowned when Buffy didn't laugh, "And you are…"

"The same!"

" Houston we have a problem" Xander declared.

"Wait a sec!" piped up Willow "When Kendra died last summer, a new slayer was called. That must be Eve."

"No," said Eve "I became the slayer many years ago. Buffy, you're a slayer, too? That's why I felt close to you. I felt a connection…"

"How many years ago?" interrupted Buffy.

She hesitated for a second, then took the plunge, not wanting to lie anymore, "About 200, I think."

Everyone gaped at her, amazed, and Xander leapt to his feet" She's a vamp!!!!"

" I'm not a vampire! I already told you, I'm the slayer…"

Buffy was very confused "Slayers don't stay alive for 200 years!"

" It's a long story...look, I'm not here to hurt anyone. I'm just looking for my brother."

"Well, who's your brother?" asked Buffy

Eve sighed, "His name is Angel…"

Part 2

"What are you talking about?" Buffy demanded, hating how Angel's name brought up so many terrible memories...Angelus...Angel getting back his soul...sending her greatest love to hell...


" I am his sister!" insisted Eve. "I can tell you the story, but it's a very long one..."

"I hope you're not planning on telling us all 200 years of it!" joked Xander.

" No." answered Eve, seriously.

"I...I want to hear." declared Willow, and Oz nodded his agreement, as they all looked at Buffy.

Buffy just looked back at them, "Maybe...it's a different Angel. Like...I don't know, Angel Anderson or something..."

"Who just happened to be born 200 years ago. That'd be some coincidence!" said Xander.

"Just when I thought you could be smart," said Cordelia, coming to join them, "and why didn't anyone tell me that Buffy has a sister."

"She's not my sister."

"She's Angel! e s sister." explained Xander.

"Well, you've got to admit she does look like Buffy." said Cordelia "She's got the same well...lousy hair and terrible skin..."

"Well," laughed Xander "She is 200 years-old. What did you expect her skin to look like?"

"Stop all this!" groaned Buffy "We getting so far off the subject here."

"What subject?" asked Xander, puzzled.

"Y'know," whispered Willow "the whole 'Angel's sister' thing."

Eve looked around, confused, "How about I tell you my story and then you tell me where I can find my brother?"

Everyone seemed to look everywhere but at her. They hadn't even mentioned Angel's name to Buffy since she sent him to hell, and now they had no idea what to say.

"He's in ! hell," Cordy volunteered, making everyone glare at her, "What?! He is! Right, Buffy?"

Buffy looked like she was about to slay Cordy.

Eve gaped at Buffy, "What do you mean hell! How did he get there?"

"He got stabbed by a sword a think...Buffy should be able to tell you. She did it." Cordy shrugged.

" That's it!" snarled Buffy "You are so dead!"

"Stop!" yelled Eve. "Did you send him there!?!"

Buffy swallowed hard, "Yes"

"Why?" she asked, tears choking her voice.

"You do know that he's a vampire, right?" asked Xander.

Eve muttered, "I knew he was changing"

"Well, he didn't change into Batman, no, sir." snorted Xander.

"Xander…" warned Buffy

"Ok, this is one of my 'shutting-up now' moments..."

"I need to speak to Eve. Alone." Buffy sighed. No one moved for a moment.

"Um, alone right." said Willow, herding the others away.

"What happened?" asked Buffy.

Eve sat down, hard, and her shoulders slumped like she was trying to support the weight of the world...Buffy could sympathize, "We grew up in a very rich family. I loved my brother, but he did not get along well with our father. Angel was, well, lazy and he always had a woman. My father didn't like it. He wanted Angel to be a man he could be proud of.

"Angel started hanging around with some very bad company. I believe you would now call them 'bad news'. The leader of this group was a girl named Darla. She was one of the worst, and I suspect she had been pretty awful before she became a vampire."

"But didn't he knew she was a vampire?" frowned Buffy
"No, not at first. He was so drunk he didn't notice anything odd. I think Darla wanted to keep him in the dark to avoid scaring him away.

"One night, two things happened. Angel...changed. I think I knew what he had become, but I couldn't...I just couldn't believe it. He had never been really bad before. That night I changed, too...I became the Slayer."

"Did you fight him?"

"No," she shook her head "when I came home that evening, all my family was dead...even my sweet little sister. I just couldn't believe it Buffy. One moment Angel was my loving brother, the next he was a vampire, a terribly cruel vampire. How can you live with that?

"I wanted to die after I saw what had happened to my family. Then some girl saw me slaying vampires, and decided I was a witch. Rumors started about how Angel was a monster, and I was a witch. They even claimed we'd killed our family. All my friends believed the tales and turned against me. There was no one left for me there, so I ran. The Council looked for me, but I avoided them. I didn't want to face my destiny." She took a deep breath and wiped off the tears that had begun to stream down her cheeks, "I wandered in the woods, feeling helpless and alone. I knew that I had the slayer powers but I still felt helpless. I just wanted to die, to get it over with."

"But, what happened? You've lived for 200 years, yet you can still walk in the daylight, so you aren't a vampire."

"Yes...I'm certainly not a vampire. I will live forever, though."

"Forever?" Buffy looked puzzled, "How? Why? What did you do?"

Eve looked suddenly afraid, "Why do you think I did something?"

"Living for 200 years and watching everyone you know die...that sounds like a punishment to me. I mean, the whole 'never losing your looks or getting old' thing is good but...you know what I mean."

"I am sorry, but I can't tell you. Can't we leave it like that?"

"Eve," Buffy put her hand gently on Eve's shoulder, and dropped down beside her on the grass, "trust me. I can and will help you. And if you think it's too bad for help, then you should hear about some of my life..."

Eve sighed, but continued, "A year later I ran into some monks, lead by someone named Lador. Have you heard about him?"

"I don't think so."

"Well, he told me about my future, my fate. He said I needed to be punished, then he did a ritual to make me immortal, because he said that the hardest thing for me to do would be to live."

"But why would he decide to punish you?"

Eve bit her lip and avoided Buffy's eyes. Then Buffy sighed, "You're not telling me something. What is it?"

"I...you're right. I am. It seems that I can't hide anything from you...perhaps it is our Slayer connection."

" You can tell me, I won't judge you."

"I didn't kill him when I had the chance."

"Who?" Buffy was confused.

"Angel. When I came home...he was there. I looked at him, covered in my family's blood...and I-" she began to sob "I couldn't kill him, Buffy! I just couldn't! I'm a bad slayer, that's why the monks punished me. I know he became Angelus...and I know about all those people he killed...it's my fault! I believed I could change him, he went after my friends and all the ones I loved...it's my fault!"

"Stop it," begged Buffy, her voice trembling, "I feel like I'm listening to myself. It's not your fault!"

"Ever since then, I have been looking for him. I heard rumors about him and a gypsy curse. Is it true? Did he turn good again?"

"Yes and no." sighed Buffy. "He was good for a very long time and helped all of us, but not long ago he changed back into Angelus."

Eve looked confused, "But...what happened? Is that why you killed him?"

Buffy hesitated, "I don't know where to begin..."

She had dreamed every night of Angel. Of their wonderful love-making...and of the change that had come. Of his beautiful face looking lovingly at her...and of his face distorted into hate.

"Buffy?" Eve was on edge, wanting to know everything that had happened.

"Listen" Buffy got to her feet, "You don't have a place to stay, right? Why don't you stay with me? My mom is away for the week. We can talk and eat..." Buffy paused for a second,"...I mean, you do eat?"

"Of course," Eve smiled slightly as she stood up, "I am still human. Long-lived, but human."

They walked to Buffy's house quietly, lost in thought. When they arrived, Buffy gave Eve some clothes, noticing that Eve didn't seem to have anything to change into. As Eve joined Buffy at the table, Buffy noticed again how much they looked alike. Dressed in Buffy's teddy-bear pajamas, Eve was almost identical to her. As they finished eating, Buffy suddenly realized that she'd forgotten to take out the trash, "I'll be right back, why don't you go up to my room. We can talk there."

Eve nodded and headed upstairs. She wanted to write down a thought she had, so she began to search for a pen and some paper. She pulled at one of Buffy's drawers too hard, and everything inside went flying. She quickly started to pick up the scattered objects, but Buffy's diary, which had fallen open, caught her attention. She could see Angel's name written beautifully on one page, a few little hearts surrounding it. She picked it up slowly, and then noticed an old poetry book on the floor. As she opened it, she saw, written in a hand she knew well, a little note: To Buffy. You will always be my girl. Love always, Angel.

"What are you doing!?!" A voice behind her demanded.

Eve dropped the diary, startled, "I am so sorry, Buffy. I was just looking for some paper and then everything spilled out. I was putting it back, when I noticed Angel's name in your diary...and then I saw this poetry book, and I just..."

Buffy picked up her diary, and put it away. "It's ok. I'm not really that angry. It's just that I'm very sensitive about my diary. I guess it just runs in the family for you." (A/N: Referring to when Angel supposedly read her diary)

" What?" asked Eve confused, "I really don't understand what is going on here. Did you lie to me? Why did Angel call you his girl and sign it love always? He didn't mean that he love loved you, right? I mean, you're a slayer, he's a vampire."

Buffy sat down on the bed, and Eve perched next to her. Now was the moment. She had to tell her everything. Sparing no detail, she told what had happened from the first day she had met Angel until the last time she'd seen him. "I miss him so much, Eve."

"Me too." sighed Eve.

Buffy reached over and turned off the light, "Good night, Eve. Tomorrow we can go see Giles. He'll probably be able to help."

"Good night" Eve closed her eyes and tried not think about the future. She had lived on her own so much that she wasn't sure if she could let herself accept help. She would just have to see. Slowly, she drifted into a deep sleep.
