Of Vampires and Men
Chapter 1
"Daddy?" Buffy repeated shocked to see her father there. They had tried to contact him about the "wedding" but were told that he was out of the country. "What are you doing here?" She blurted out and Hank Summers smiled sheepishly at her.
"Well Buffy, I heard that you dropped out of school." He gave her a disappointed look before turning to Joyce. "I can't believe that you would let her do something like that. But I've come to get custody."
The room was thrown into silence. Joyce leaned unsteadily against the back of a chair and glared at Hank, thinking of all the time that he spent ignoring both her and Buffy. Just as she was about to respond, Buffy answered.
"I'm not going with you Dad." She said quietly and Hank spun around to face her.
"We'll let the court decide that sweetie."
"But, I'm married now. I can't just leave my husband." Buffy looked at the surprise in Hank's face and sighed. "We tried to reach you. I called you office about fifty times and they always said you were busy." Hank turned and studied Spike, whose hand Buffy was desperately clutching.
"Is this…this punk your husband?!" Hank exclaimed. He turned to Joyce in a fury. "You let her drop out of school and then marry some Billy Idol groupie! I can't believe you Joyce!"
"You can't believe her?" Spike yelled unable to control himself. "Joyce took great care of Buffy and everyone else around here for that matter. Where have you been the last two years?!"
"How dare you talk to me like that? Hasn't anyone told you to respect your elders?" Hank glared at Spike, but Spike refused to back down. He snorted at Mr. Summers.
"Elders? Oh that is rich mate." Spike couldn't contain his chuckle and was about to enlighten Hank, when Joyce stepped in.
"I think it's best that you leave Hank." She said. Hank looked at her in surprise and opened his mouth to reply. "Don't say anything. Either you leave now or I call the police and have you arrested for trespassing." Joyce looked at him steadily and Hank finally backed down.
"This isn't the end of this you know." He turned and walked to the front door. "I'll be back and you'll have to settle all this in court. What kind of judge would let you keep her with the choices you've made recently?" He gave Joyce a sardonic look and left. Joyce turned shakily to face Buffy and Spike.
"Well you two…it looks like you're going to have to postpone the honeymoon for a little bit." She tried to smile at them but tears soon clouded her eyes. Buffy moved over and gave her mother a quick hug and a watery smile.
"It's ok mom. We've got plenty of time for that." Buffy tried to grin at her mom. "Vampires, remember?" And with that Joyce broke down crying with Buffy not that far behind her. Spike went over and picked Buffy up and began to carry her up the stairs while the others were left to console Joyce.

The vampires of Sunnydale were giddy with excitement. Tonight the Hellmouth and all its playthings would be left unguarded. It was like a dream come true for the fledglings that were used to having four people patrolling their hunting grounds. Tonight they would bathe in blood…the streets would not be safe.
"Hey Bruce look at that girl over there!" Leonard called out to his sire. He had spotted a ripe one all fresh for the plucking…
"Good. Very good." Bruce replied with an evil look on his vampiric features. "Let's go." And they approached her not expecting a fight when…
The girl spun around and staked Leonard without saying a word.
"What are you? What are you doing?" Bruce exclaimed outraged. That was his favorite minion. The girl's expression never changed. She advanced on Bruce with a purpose- his death. She lashed out at Bruce and he responded quickly. "Great just what this town needs- another Slayer." She never responded. Bruce would have thought that she was a robot except he could hear her heart beat.
The fight continued. The only sounds that came from the two were Bruce's taunts and the Slayer's harsh breathing. Finally she found her opening and staked the vampire. He looked at her with a surprised expression on his face and crumbled to dust. Then from behind a mausoleum, a woman in a tweed jacket emerged.
"That was a very impressive display Kennedy." She said to the Slayer. Kennedy merely nods her head in response and Andrea-the Watcher-sighs in frustration. "We'll report in to Mr. Giles tomorrow. I'm sure that he'll have plenty of work for you to do."
"Good." Kennedy replied in a low voice. "The more I kill the better." She quickly turned to find more unsuspecting vampires in the cemetery with Andrea close behind.
As Andrea watched Kennedy slay without uttering a single word or changing facial expression she was glad that Buffy and Spike were out of town. Her slayer did not seem to understand that although they were vampires, they were allies in the fight against evil. She would have to have Mr. Giles explain that once they met up with him.

He arrived in Sunnydale and looked around contemptuously at all that met his gaze. Running a hand through his greasy hair he frowned. Being on the run really made your personal upkeep suffer. He spotted a bar and decided to go in for a quick drink before finding a place to stay.
The bar was dirty, but they usually were around the docks. Shrugging his shoulders, he sat down at the bar and ordered a beer. Turning up his nose slightly at the American beer before him he slowly drank.
"Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?" The man next to him inquired. He was wearing a uniform for the Sunnydale Inn. The man frowned.
"No sorry." He said quickly but that still gave away his British accent.
"Yeah! I remember you! You were here a couple of weeks ago with those other British guys. You're, uh, Mr. Chamers!" The hotel clerk sat back in his chair proudly. "I never forget a face." Chamers remained cool on the outside but on the inside he was panicking. What was he going to do? He couldn't leave someone alive who knew that he was in town. There was really only one solution.
"Hmmm. Yes. You're right. Can I buy you a drink?" The clerk grinned widely. Free alcohol was always good.
"Sure thanks." And they sat chatting about nothing in particular until the hotel clerk looked at his watch and frowned. "Well, thanks for the drink. I'd better get home."
Chamers nodded and watched the clerk leave the bar. He left a moment after and followed him down an alley. Chamers pushed the man from behind into the wall and pressed him firmly into the dirty bricks of the alley wall.
"Sorry mate." Chamers said in a dangerous voice. "But I just can't let anyone know that I'm back in town." He pulled out a gun with a silencer in place and pressed it to the clerk's head. "You understand of course. Nothing personal." And then the clerk slumped to the floor as Chamers released his hold. Chamers kicked the body and left leaving on the bullet lodged in the clerk's brain behind.

An: Just a little note...In the last story (the coucil of Wankers) i made Kennedy the new slayer. BUT i changed her character a lot because that was what I was looking for but since i had already called her kennedy i didnt want to change that make a plot hole. So this is Kennedy excpet she's alternate universe Kennedy. I am assuming that she changed a lot since she was called. (Cop out I know)
