Wishing doesn't change a thing!

It had been almost one and a half months since she burned down the gym and oh god was she paying for it. Her mother was going completely ape shit over it and her father had had enough and left them. She tried to explain what happened but as soon as she mentioned the "V" word her mother would go off on another rant. She hated using the "V" word whenever she was about. She didn't want a repeat of what happened last time. (dd/mm/yy)

Something very strange happened today well not all day just the end off it. Well today was like any other, I spent the whole morning board out of my freaking skull, history and biology god what am I going to do with that, anyway it got to lunch and I felt a little light headed and sick so I go into the girls room to "freshen up" when Amanda Jenkins comes in giggling and laughing, which by the way, her skirt so did not match those "so last season" shoes and who weirs pulled up shocks. Anyway back to my life. The moment I saw her I have this sorta …uh…urge I guess, to like hit her. I don't know what happened but I shook it off and walked out the door to catch up with the squad at the lunch tables outside. The rest of the day was just as boarding as the morning so I won't go into any detail.

I was sitting outside of the school when this funky look man came over to me and started saying all this weird stuff about being chosen and fighting the forces of darkness. He must have been an escaped loon from the hospital a couple miles up the road. I got up to walk away from him when he shouted, this is the weird part, he starts going on about my dreams and describes them all is so much detail, I couldn't believe it. I told no one about them, I thought that I was just freaking out or something. It was unbelievable that he knew each one like he did, he said that they weren't dreams that my subconscious made up, but that they were memories that it had suppressed. He told me that he could prove that he was telling the truth and all I had to do was meat him in the grave yard at 9:30pm tonight. I don't know, I look at him and I know I can trust him but another part is screaming to me to just ignore him and walk away. Well you what they say "Curiosity killed the cat." Id better go or I'm going to be late for "destiny"…hahaha…

Going to the Grave yard that nigh was probably the worst decision that Buffy Summers made in her very short life. In that one night she was given a mission, a duty, a destiny. The only problem was that she didn't want any of it. She liked being "just a girl," she liked not knowing what she was supposed to do. She could choose who she would be, what she would do but now that was all flushed down the toilet with last night's dinner.

Who could blame her for what she told her parent, she was freaked. Her whole life she was told that there were no such things as monsters, vampires and things that go bump in the nigh. She turned to the only people that she thought would help her and protect her, mum and dad. She went home that night, not believing what she just witnessed.

She will never forget the pain that she felt before that "thing" crawled out of its grave. It was so strong but as it charged her something came to life, she could feel her blood and hard pump harder and faster. She felt what she could only describe as a "lust" to kill this thing in front of her. The feelings were so strong she couldn't handle it, they overwhelmed her and she froze there on the spot trying to make sense of the emotions flowing though her. The beast jumped on her and tackled her to the ground. In that moment she was snapped out of her stupor and kicked as hard as she can at the animal trying to bite her. It all happened so fast, it's I blur to her. All she remembers is the feeling of adrenaline and joy that passed though her as she plunged the wooden stack though the vampires heart.

As she walked home it all became too much. When she got home, her mother noticed that she looked as if she had been in a fight. Buffy told them what happened but they didn't believe her. Over the next few days she refused to leave the house and would only talk about the vampires. Hank and Joyce couldn't take it anymore they took her to a "hospital" to get some help, assuming that she was just "sick."

She stopped talking about the vampires and her destiny to kill them when she realized that no one, not even her parents, believed her. So she stopped talking about it and after two weeks, she was released and able to go home.

In the coming months she would be trained by her Watcher known as Merick. She would spend her days at school and the rest of the time she was with him training and hunting. Her mother and father seemed to arguer a lot more ever since she had come home from the "hospital" and every argument was getting more and more fierce.

It has been so long since I've wrote in here, I'm sorry. A lot has happened you wouldn't believe. Ok, ok let's begin. I've been chosen to be the Slayer, got that sound weak. Anyways that basically means that I go out every night to hunt and kill all things demonic, hay big word…hahaha..., Merick is my Watcher. He's the man that teaches, trains and annoys the living hell out of me "Buffy don't do it like that, Buffy stand like this, Buffy why did you say that before you killed him" he's such a nag. The reason that I started to write this is because there is this new big bad in town. Lothos. Iv been having nightmare's about him for weeks but I didn't know that my dreams are not only memories to my past heritage but also tell me of danger that hasn't even happened yet, weird. Merick seems to know him and not in the 'I've read about you so I know you' kind of a way, I mean personal like. Oh god I have to go I'm late for "patrol."I hope my mum doesn't read this.

OH GOD NO HE KILLED HIM LOTHOS KILLED MERICK……………..IM GOIN TO RIP THAT BASTARED HEAD FROM HIS SHOULDER………this is probably my last entry. Tomorrow is the dance and I know that HE will be there and I'm going kill him……….oh god Merick……….mum if your reading this I'm sorry, but everything I tried to tell you and dad was all true but I know now that you couldn't help me this is something that I alone must do. I'm sorry. If you're reading this it means that I lost and am likely 6 feet under. Please, please, please get out of this town please if he killed me then he will kill everyone that I love. RUN

Neither Joyce nor Hank summers would see this entry. Buffy won and kill Lothos but in the process she managed to burn the School Gym down. Her parents were furious with her. she was expelled from school. Her parents couldn't stand on the same ground anymore and decide to part ways. Hank left them; Buffy would never see him again. Joyce could barely speak to Buffy without shouting. Joyce had decided to move and try and put the humiliation that her daughter had brought behind her.

She had beaten Lothos to a bloody pulp and made him beg for his pitiful unlife. She had humiliated him before she killed him. she thought that it was over, that she had done her part and every thing would be easy slayage from now on. Boy was she wrong.
