Buffy the Vampire Slayer Rewrite
Author's Note: I own nothing. I decided that I didn't care for some of the way Buffy happened so this is my version. Lots of Spike/Buffy. Enjoy! :)
Chapter One: Welcome to the Hellmouth
Buffy Summers rolled over and shut her alarm off and sat up in bed, she and her mother just moved to Sunnydale from Los Angeles while her sister Faith had left from Los Angeles to go to England to spend a semester abroad. Today was her first day at Sunnydale High.
She left the house with her mother and headed to school, "Buffy, please try not to get expelled." Her mother pleaded before driving off.
"I'll try." Buffy muttered under her breath.
She headed to the principals office to get her paperwork done and get her schedule when the principal decided he wanted to give her the welcome speech.
"Here at Sunnydale we like to help our students and if your needs and our needs don't mesh well, we work together to get there."
"Principal Flutie, I know my records look...colorful; but you don't understand. That gym was filled with vam...asbestos." Buffy winced.
"Colorful? Miss Summers, don't you think the word dismal is more like it." Principal Flutie questioned.
After the meeting with the principal Buffy headed to her first class deciding that she could wait to get her books from the library until her break next period. In class she sat next to queen bee; Cordelia Chase and shared her text book. Already Buffy could tell that this girl was miss popular and that with her extra work outside of school there was no way that she could be close friends with Cordelia. She asked her to show her where the library was and left it at that not answering Cordelia's question about sitting with her and her friends at lunch. Buffy walked into the seemingly empty library and started browsing for her text books.
"Can I help you?" A British voice came from behind the counter.
"Uh, yeah...wait Giles?" Buffy asked shocked to see her godfather at her new school.
"Hello Buffy. I assume you need your text books." Giles said reaching for the stack of books he had set aside for her classes.
"Mom didn't tell me you would be here. Wait, why are you here?" She asked.
"It seems that Travers felt you would respond to your duties better with a Watcher who knew your family already. Hench; me." Giles explained.
"Awesome, looks like he finally did something right. Where are you living?"
"I am currently staying in a hotel until I find a cheap flat for rent. By the way your mother invited me for supper tonight so if you want to you can ride back to your house with me after school."
Buffy agreed and then decided to go find the guy who helped her pick up her stuff this morning in the hallway. She found him hanging out in the courtyard with another guy and a girl with red hair.
"Hey Xander, right? I think you picked up my locket by mistake. Do you have it?" Buffy asked.
Xander pulled the chain from his pocket and handed it to Buffy along with one of her stakes that must have fallen as well. "Here you go. Hey, a group of us are going to the Bronze tonight you want to join?"
"I don't know, my god-father is the librarian here and he's coming over for supper tonight. Here, call this number around 8 and I'll let you know. By the way, do you know where I could find a Willow Rosenberg? Principal Flutie said if I had any questions to ask her."
"That's me. Helpful girl." Willow answered with a smile.
"Cool, I was wondering if you could show me where the gym was?"
"Sure, that's my next class as well." Willow said grabbing her backpack and leading Buffy away from the two boys still staring at her.
When they got to the gym locker rooms Cordelia came rushing out, Buffy grabbed her arm and asked what happened. When Cordelia mentioned a boy found in the locker room completely drained of his blood Buffy paled. The Police came out and told everyone that school was dismissed for the rest of the day pending an investigation. Buffy dragged Willow back to the library to talk to Giles. Surprisingly Xander and his friend Jesse were waiting for them there.
"Giles, the boy that was not killed by something normal." Buffy stated even though there were civilians in the room.
"I agree. Vampire?" Giles questioned.
"Yeah."
"Woah, wait! Vampires? You mean the suck your blood, allergic to sun, crosses, and holy water, stake through the heart type?" Jesse questioned.
"Unfortunately, yes. Look, I know you guys barely know me but trust me; Sunnydale is not the town you want to be running around in after sunset. Sunnydale sits on the largest Hellmouth in the United States. I am the only one that stands a true chance of stopping vampires and demons from destroying the town. I am Heaven's Chosen One. The Slayer."
Xander, Jesse, and Willow looked at each other and then to Buffy and asked, "How can we help?"
"What?" Giles and Buffy asked completely surprised.
"We want to help. Nobody should have to take the responsibility for the protection of a town on their own. Let us help, please?" Willow pleaded.
Buffy sighed, "mom is going to kill me. Alright, come to this address tonight around 5 and we will talk. Wear something casual, dark, and able to move in. Willow, I have some clothes you could borrow."
Willow took the paper with Buffy's address on it from her and the trio left the library while Buffy stayed to talk to Giles about this new development. They decided that if they were going to help then they needed to know how to defend themselves and know what they were up against so they gathered books on vampires and hellmouths and weapons. At 4 o'clock Buffy was ready to head home to warn her mother of the extra company and their intentions along with Giles.
At 5 o'clock the doorbell rang and the three patrons of the Summers home looked at each other before Buffy opened the door and whole new can of worms. They did the meet and greet and since supper was still on the stove the three teens decided to cut straight to the chase and start questions.
"Someone want to start explaining?" Jesse questioned.
"It all started centuries ago..." Joyce started before the doorbell rang again.
