(May 7th, 1830: Britain)

William Rayne rolled his eyes at his fathers question. Marry? I'm only fifteen. (Sandy brown hair, skinny, piercing cheekbones, How he looked as William in Fool For Love and all the other episode that had pre-Spike) His father had called him in from his horseback riding lessons to talk to him, and when William walked in the large family room his father had told him about their plans.

" William." His mother, Darla, scolded, " don't be rude to your father." (Pale skin, soft voice, blonde, Medium body type)

" Sorry, Da." He said sarcastically.

" Son, You won't get married yet."

" Why won't I?" he asked, thinking about how long he had to get out of this marriage.

" We'll we figure you can marry her when she's sixteen." Mr. Rayne said. (Tall, lanky, thinning almost grey hair.)

" How long will that be?"

" In twelve years."

" Twelve years?" William asked, unbelieving.

" Yes, she's Elizabeth Summers, daughter of Hank Summers."

" Hank Summers daughter?" He asked, he turned and stepped away, " They only arranged this marriage because they are going bankrupt."

" Maybe so, but have you seen Joyce Summers?" Darla asked, " She is beautiful and I imagine her daughter will be as well." William turned and faced his mother.

" And how am I suppose to wait that long?" He asked.

" You can wait that long." Ethan said.

" I'm not really complaining about it, but most men are wed when their around eighteen or nineteen. I'm going to wait till I'm twenty-seven."

" Your father waited for me." Darla said, " I was two and he was sixteen."

" William, your going to accept this and you will like it." Ethan said, getting angrier every time his son spoke. William clenched his fists and replied.

" Fine." He said, " But I will not enjoy it, one bit." he turned and walked away.

" I feel terrible." Darla said, " Maybe she is too young."

" No," Ethan said, looking at his wife, " He can handle it."

" Elizabeth." The nurse (Short, chubby, grey hair, strong British accent) yelled across the room, she had left little Elizabeth along for one second and came back to find her climbing through the second story window.

" Ursey." She smiled at the old woman. Elisabeth lost her balance and started to fall. the nurse ran to the window only to see Elizabeth crying on the ground beneath. She ran out of the room, Dawn the stairs and out the front door. She stopped at Elizabeth and kneeled down at the ground. The nurse was scared to pick up the toddler, afraid she would hurt her even worse. She picked up Elizabeth carefully and started to walk to the front door, but turned and walked to the forest. Joyce and Hank would fire her if they found out that she had let Elizabeth fall out of a window, " Ursey, owwie."

" Shh, Elizabeth. Quiet, Baby." The nurse needed to hurry if she was going to get to her house and back to the mansion before sundown. About twenty minutes later she reached her house. (A small cottage on the other side of the woods.) she opened the door and saw her husband in the house.

" Honey, your home." He smiled, " Mrs. Summers dismissed you?" (Giles. Grey hair, bigger-boned but thin, strong British accent)

" No, honey." She said, then her husband saw the baby. Elizabeth had tears in her eyes, but she had stopped crying.

" Who's this?" he asked getting off the couch and looking at the girl, " Is this Elizabeth Summers?"

" Yes." The nurse said.

" Jenny, What happened?"

" She fell out of the window. Oh, Mrs. Summers is going to kill me." Her husband grabbed Elizabeth from Jenny and she started to pace, " Watch her, I'm going to talk to Mrs. Summers." She walked out of the house and to the woods.


(May 9th: Britain)

" Mr. Rayne." The servant said walking to William, " Your father awaits you in the Family Room."

" What about this time?" William asked. He looked at his two best friends: Xander (Brown hair, medium build.) and Andrew (Blond hair, Skinny) and smiled, " Da wants to talk to me again. Hey maybe I got lucky and I'm not going to get married." the Servant turned and left.

" Married?" Xander asked. Oz looked at Spike confused.

" Yeah, I never told you?" He asked, " Me da says I'm going to be married to Elizabeth Summers."

" Is that Mr. Summers Daughter?" Xander asked. He put his sword down and walked over to them.

" It is." William said, " But I have to wait to get married till I'm twenty eight"
" But I thought she was kidnapped." Oz said turning to Xander.

" Yeah, Everybody knows about that." Xander said, William looked at his two friends unbelieving.

" What?"

" Last night her nurse took her outside to play by the stream in the woods, two thieves came and took her."

" They took Elizabeth?"

" Yeah." Oz and Xander said together.

" Good." William said. He turned and walked toward his house. The two friends looked at each other and shrugged as they started to swordfight again.


I'm sorry if it's not interesting, usually when I write the first chapter it doesn't sound right. And I'm not trying to make Jenny sound mean, she just couldn't loose her job because she still had Buffy's younger sister, Dawn to take care of. Jenny is going to be a nice mother. Please give this story a shot and review.
