Chapter 1
Year 2011
---Angel's POV---
I looked at the deteriorating sign, barely visible because of the vines that were covering it. "Welcome to Sunnydale", and I rolled my eyes. Back to the Hellmouth again.
I drove along in my car at a leisurely pace, taking in the things that had change in the small town since I had last been there. It was NOT so small now, with a lot of buildings and residences.
Then I passed a trashed and horribly run down part of town, and sensed the evil and the demons residing there. I sighed. Some things never do change.
I really have no intention of going back here, seeing as no one here really liked me that much. They didn't understand how much I had changed... But now I'm here again. I wonder how...
Then a small girl on a tricycle suddenly drove down the middle of the road, right in front of the car.
"Oh shit!" I cried out and slammed the brakes. "Where the hell did she come from?"
I got out of the car quickly, and to my horror, I had hit the tricycle, which was now turned on its side, one of its wheels were gone.
I went towards the girl, and almost cried with relief when I saw that she was not unconscious. She was a pretty one, with blonde hair neatly braided into pigtails, and wearing a pink shirt and overalls.
I picked her up, and took a look at her. She only had a cut on her right leg. "Are you okay?"
She looked up at me, and I was startled with her eyes, which was such a beautiful shade of blue. Pools of tears were swimming in those eyes. Woah. Now where have I seen eyes like that? Then she sniffled and just nodded.
I smiled at her kindly. "What's your name, pretty lady?"
She smiled back at me a little, and I was relieved that she didn't start crying, because I wouldn't know what I would've done. "S-samantha," she said with a slight lisp. She started to pout.
I started to panic. There was something about that pout that scared me, again another familiar thing."Well, Samantha. I'm gonna take you home to your mom. And she'll make you feel better, okay?" I said hastily.
She nodded again and said, "Okay".
Then I carried her piggyback, which made her squeal and laugh. I laughed too. Strange that this child could make me feel so cheerful.
"So, where to?"
She pointed at the sign. "There. Ro-ro-wodello Dwive. My daddy taught me that!" she said proudly.
"Well, then you're daddy must really be a good dad," I said and started walking.
"Yes, he is! And he's a good husband too! Mommy loves him so much! They work together too!"
"Really?" I said, a bit disinterested. Hey, this is the same street where Buffy lives... Maybe I'll visit her... catch up on things...
"Yup! Auntie Wills said that they work at night because they're really superheroes, who fight to save the world from evil!" she squealed.
"Superheroes huh?" I laughed. Kids will believe anything.
"Yeah! Oh wait, here we are!" she said and climbed off of me and ran.
"Hey, wait, what about –" I looked at her right leg. To my shock, her cut was gone, and her leg was good as new. "What the –"
Then I looked at her house. Oh no. It can't be...
The door opened. "Mommy, mommy!" Samantha cried out and wrapped her arms around her mom's legs.
"Hey, sugar. Where have you been?" a high pitched and eerily familiar voice answered.
"I have someone to in-intro—who wants to meet you!"
"Really now?" the woman said and carried Samantha with surprising ease. She stepped out. She was in her early 30s, with golden blonde hair a tad darker than her daughter's, with a petite frame.
I gaped at her. Is it...
The woman grinned when she saw me. "Well, well, lookie who's here."
My jaw dropped. Now I was sure. It was Buffy.
