I was in need of something to do during my off time in reception and basic, and i din't have my Phoenix Slayer notebook with me. So I started writing this. And it helps answer and justify some of the things in the Whedonverse. Please take note of the switched parentage of a certain vampire with a soul, who's not a vampire here!

Please read and review! I love input, and i'm willing to accept plot ideas! Enjoy!

Hidden Heritage

Chapter 1: The Package

Whistler was scared.

Now, fear is not a new emotion in a world of humans, but for a balance demon on the side of good, other demons (and Slayers) were not beneficial to his health. But Whistler's concern was on the two vampires pursuing him. Had these been regular vampires, and were it not for the package he was carrying, he would have easily dusted them. But the package that he was carrying prevented that kind of action. His current mission was too important to the Powers That Be.

So the chase continued.

A coven in Devon had cloaked him, preventing the two vampires from tracking him and the package by scent, among other things. As he thought of his pursuers, a cold shiver went down his spine. The Scourge of Europe, Connor, and his vampire consort, Darla, had cut a swath of death and destruction across the mainland, originating from Connor's homeland of Ireland, sometimes circling back to Ireland once a century. For 220 years, he killed everyone he met, and he did it with a song in his heart. Whistler looked at the gurgling bundle and said, "You better be worth it, kid"
