Amy walked down the dark streets of Sunnydale alone. She knew that it was an incredibly unwise thing for her to do but she had to get out of the house before she went crazy. Her dad was starting to get on her nerves with his over protectiveness. Ever since Teresa had been killed he basically refused to let her out of the house alone at night and she was starting to feel suffocated. That's why she had snuck out her bedroom window as soon as he was asleep.
Now she was starting to regret doing it. All she had wanted was a little freedom. She just hoped that her stupidity didn't cost her her life. Unlike the rest of the town's occupants she was aware of the things that went bump in the night. Vampires, werewolves and demons were all real. So was every monster you were ever afraid of as a child, and for some reason they flocked to this town.
Her mom had once told her that that was why she had picked up witchcraft. She had wanted to have a way to protect herself from the evil in the town. But when her dad left she lost control, becoming one of the evil things herself. Even going as far as switching their bodies so she could re live her cheer leading glory days. If it hadn't been for Buffy and the others she'd probably still be trapped in her mother's body. Or even worse, trapped in an unknown hell dimension like her mother now was. She shuddered at the thought. " Ok time to think about other things."
The first thing that popped into her mind was the spell she had done for Xander. When he had found out that she was a witch he had blackmailed her into doing a spell for him. He had wanted her to cast a spell on Cordelia that made her fall in love with him so he could reject her. Instead her spell had caused every female in town to fall for him. Every female except Cordelia that is.
Things went horribly wrong after that. More so than they already were. She turned Buffy into a rat and an angry mob chased down Xander and tried to kill him and Cordy. Once again Giles came to the rescue, stopping her spell before Xander and Cody were murdered and Buffy was eaten by a cat.
Giles explained to her why the spell went wrong but it still confused her. Ever since the incident with her mom she had been secretly practicing magic. She had even come to believe that she was quite good at it. Obviously she had been wrong.
Suddenly a guy stepped out of the shadows, blocking her path. ' Shit. I just had to get out of the house. Now this guy is probably going to rob me, or worse kill me. Way to go Amy.' She silently scolded herself. " Sorry, didn't mean to frighten you." He said smiling. " Its ok. But would you mind getting out of my way? I'm trying to get home.This town is a little too creepy at night."
He moved out of her way and fell in step beside her. " I know what you mean. Hey, don't you go to school with Buffy?" She had to admit that it was creepy how he came out of no where, but he was totally gorgeous. Plus he knew Buffy so he couldn't be all that bad. " Yea I do." They walked in silence for a few moments. " You're Amy right?"
Now she was creept out. She didn't hang around with Buffy so how did this guy know who she was? " I think you should leave me alone now." She said and walked passed him. He vamped out and grabbed her arm. " Come on Amy don't be like that." " If you're going to kill me get it over with." He chuckled, the sound making her skin crawl. " Silly girl I'm not going to kill you. I want you to do me a favor." " And if I don't?"
He tightened his grip on her arm and twisted. It broke with a sickening crack. She cried out in pain, tears of fear streaming down her face. " Then I will kill you. But I wont stop there. I'll kill you whole family too. Hey, maybe I'll keep you around so you can watch them die. Or better yet I'll turn you so you can kill them yourself. What do you say?" " I'll help you." She whispered.
" That's a good girl. You know, I know about the spell you did for Xander. You made all the women in the town fall in love with him. You even made Drusilla fall for him. That had to be a pretty strong spell considering she's a vampire. Then all the women tried to kill him. Too bad they didn't succeed." He said frowning. " Not to be all rude, but what does that have to do with this favor you want?" " I want you to do a spell for me." " For what?" " I want you to make the slayer fall in love with me."
