Chapter 1
This will be my second time making a fanfiction for an actual book. Usually I do anime, manga or tv shows. The only other book I've done is Bedeviled, I love that book. Today however I'm doing The Slayer chronicles, the story of Joss. I like Joss, I think he's adorable—not as adorable as Vlad though, yaknow because he's a vampire. Anyhow as always I put into play an OC that usually stirs things up with the main character. So prepare to meet Alice Lilibelle. Now it's been a while since I read the 1st novel, so bare-with me on the lines. I'm sort of skipping along the story line here. ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!
Joss sat on the train, waiting for it to take off so he could meet his uncle for slayer training. People were still boarding the plane so it was going to be a little while longer before it actually left the station. As he waited he began to think of what the rest of his slayer training would be like when suddenly he felt someone standing over him. He looked over to see a girl with shoulder length dyed white hair cut into a wedge, she looked to him with bright sapphire blue eyes.
"This seat taken?" She asked, Joss shook his head she smiled. The girl had to be no older than seventeen or eighteen. She wore all black; black tripp jeans and a tanktop with a blue gummy bear hanging by a noose*. She took the seat next to him and smiled.
"First time traveling?" She asked sweetly, her voice was soft and sweet sounding. Joss shrugged.
"Sort of." He mumbled, the girl smiled.
"First time traveling alone?" She asked rephrasing the question. This time he nodded.
"Same here, I don't usually travel by myself either. Kind of exciting though isn't it?" She asked, Joss stared. It wasn't very often that random strangers started talking to him, especially ones that appeared to be from a Goth point of view. The girl smiled.
"So what's your name?" She asked, Joss swallowed hard.
"Joss," he said, the girl gave pause tapping her chin with a painted black nail.
"Joss, Joss," She repeated for a little while, "I like it, don't meet very many people with that kind of name, pretty unique."
Joss smiled back this time, his name was unique. Just like he was. Even if he couldn't show off that uniqueness with the general public.
So as the plane took off, Joss got to know the strange girl draped in black. As it turns out they were going in the same direction. So when the train stopped she offered to stick around until someone came to pick him up.
"I'm not really doing anything there other than vacationing in the Catskills. So I'm not in any real hurry." She said, Joss scowled.
"Vacationing?" He asked, she nodded.
"Yup, I like quiet little places like this, plus I'm sort of meeting family here." She said not so happily, "But I can be late."
"Are you sure?" Joss asked, "Cause really I'm fine with just staying here by myself."
"I'm not in any rush to meet with them, they can wait you're still just a kid." She said, "Someone might snatch you up, then what would happen?"
Joss swallowed hard, as they talked previously the girl didn't really come off as a macabre type like most girls dressed like her, but with that statement he found she wasn't really that much different. The girl laughed.
"Relax, I'm kidding." She said, then looked off toward the train as it left. Joss nodded and looked off to see another girl, being chased by someone. He looked to the girl he was with she didn't seem to notice. She stooped to look through her backpack. She then stood.
"I'll be right back ok?" she said, "Try not to get too bored here."
Joss watched as the girl from the train left for a moment, he then decided to go after the girl being chased. He went to stop the strange man that was chasing her when another man named Sirus jumped exposing the creep chasing the girl as a vampire. Sirus then threatened the vampire by telling him that he was up against two slayers and not just one. The vamp then turned tail and ran, and Joss discovered that the girl being chased was Sirus's daughter Kat.
"Did you just get here?" Sirus asked, Joss nodded.
"Perfect." He said, "Well grab your things we're heading up to the house now."
Joss nodded and went to retrieve his suitcase, he looked back to find the girl had yet to return. He felt bad that he had to just leave like that without telling her, but he didn't want to be late and keep his uncle waiting. So he left, hoping that if he saw the girl again that he'd be able to apologize for just leaving.

It didn't take long for Joss to discover that he wasn't very welcome among his uncle Abraham. His uncle didn't seem to think he was capable for anything like this. The others seemed to be ok with him, and Sirus and Kat had become friends with him, somewhat. He still wasn't used to the attention of girls. Unlike Joss Kat wasn't a slayer, and she didn't know anything of what really went on in the house. What Joss was training for and all. She seemed to be pretty well ignored by everyone. Which was why they had become friends perhaps.
Now he had to stay and watch over the house from the woods, it was a pretty long and boring and he had already been without sleep. So it was getting harder and harder to focus and stay awake. He was just about to nod off when…
Wake up!
Joss suddenly awoke and realized that he had been sleeping suddenly he heard something behind him. he turned and looked up to see someone sitting in a tree. The figure looked down at him, it's features unseen from the darkness.
"Relax little lamb, you weren't asleep for long." It said, the voice was soft and smooth, and somewhat familiar. Joss felt like he could trust the figure, though he wasn't sure why.
"Nothing has happened," It said, "Though I can't exactly say that it will stay that way if you fall asleep again. Try not to fall asleep anymore slayer boy."
With that the figure left the tree without being seen by Joss. He stared curiously at the space the figure once occupied. Who was it? And why did he feel so at ease around it?
Try not to fall asleep again.
Joss grabbed his stake that he had gotten from Dorian before he came and kept it close. As comfortable as he was the figure still gave him a slight shiver of fear up his spine. So he sat the rest of the night awake.
The next morning he and Kat went into town with Sirus. To pick up supplies for the house since Sirus was the caretaker of everyone, Sirus had gone off head of them and told them to pick up whatever they wanted after they'd picked up what was on the list. It had been several days since he had arrived in the Catskills and just as long since that girl he met on the train had left. He began to wonder if he was ever going to see her again. When suddenly something caught his eye, and his ear.
"Joss?" It was the girl from the train. Same as when he'd seen her the first time, short hair white cut into a wedge. She ran up to the duo.
"Hey Joss, what's up? Been a while." She said, Joss nodded silently, "I haven't seen you around town, where've ya been? When I found out you were gone I was a little worried."
"Joss, who is this?" Kat asked, looking to the strange white haired Goth girl, that's when Joss realized he'd never actually gotten her name. he felt bad, he'd never asked for it. The girl smiled.
"Who're you?" She asked back. Kat scowled and introduced herself, "Kat huh? That's a common name isn't it? So's mine, I'm Alice."
"Alice? I've never met anyone with that name." Kat said, the girl—Alice shrugged.
"Where I'm from it's a pretty common placed name." she said.
"Where are you from?" Joss asked, Alice simply smiled.
"Some place far away." She said, just then Sirus caught up to them.
"Sorry for the wait, my errand took longer than I thought…" His voice trailed off when his eyes landed on Alice. She smiled up at him.
"Well I guess that's my cue." She said, "I'll see you two around, see ya."
"Joss, who was that?" Sirus asked, Joss shrugged.
"She's just some girl I met on the train, she said she was vacationing here." He said looking up at Sirus who was watching Alice walk away and disappear down the street.
"That's it?" he asked. Joss nodded, "Good, listen Joss, it'd probably be best if you stayed away from her while you're training."
Joss nodded silently. He was probably right about that.
My first chapters are always choppy. I've been working on that but it doesn't seem to get any better. But I promise my stories are usually good once we get the ball rolling. So please keep reading. REVIEW PLEASE!
