Prologue
Hi, my name is Buffy Summers. When I went to high school in L.A., a guy named Merrick came to me while I was working late, practicing my gymnastics.

He told me I was the Vampire Slayer. The one girl chosen in each generation to stop and kill the vampires.

Then Merrick died at the hands of a very old vampire named Lothos. I stopped him on the night of my prom. After I killed him, I burned down the school gymnasium.

My mom packed us up and drove us to Sunnydale, Ca. There I met my new Watcher, Rupert Giles, and made some close friends (Xander, Cordelia, Willow, and Oz).

Then, on the night of a major dance, my mom gave me a beautiful gown. But my fate had been chosen years before. I went after the Master, a vampire even older that Lothos. The Master bit me, then dumped me into a pool of water, where I drowned.

My friend, Xander, and my vampire boyfriend, Angel,(I know. Ironic, isn't it?) came to my rescue. And while Angel watched, helpless, Xander resuscitated me. We went after the Master, whom I killed.

But there was no hope. The next Slayer had been called. A girl named Kendra came to Sunnydale and tried to kill me, thinking I was a vampire. After we worked out our major differences, we stopped a vampire named Spike from bringing his girlfriend, Druscilla, back to full strength using her sire (daddy vampire), Angel (long story).

After Angel and I made love on my seventeenth birthday, his soul was taken from him, and Angel joined up with Spike and Druscilla.

Much later in the story, Druscilla killed Kendra by slitting her throat, which activated the next Slayer, Faith.

A little while after Faith came to Sunnydale, Angel came back from hell, newly cursed with a soul.

Later, Faith turned bad and teamed up with the mayor of Sunnydale(EVIL!!!).

When the Mayor and Faith poisoned Angel with a poison who's only cure was to totally drain the blood of a Slayer, I took Faith's own knife and stabbed her in the gut, although after the whole fight, I eventually had to feed Angel my own blood.

But when I stabbed her and she had died (she came back to life after being resuscitated at the hospital, although she remained in a coma), the Watcher's Council, a council that teaches Slayers to be Slayers, called Giles up and told him they wanted him and me to go to Tokyo, Japan, where we would find a girl named Serena Tsukino, that she was the next Slayer, and they wanted Giles and me to train her to be the next Vampire Slayer.

And this is where our whole story begins. . . .
