My name is Hope Harris. I have a really strange life. I live in Sunnydale CA which would cause even a totally normal person to have a really weird life 'cause of the Hellmouth and all, but I'm not exactly normal and my family even less so my life is bizarre on a major scale.
My parents are scoobies, that what they call themselves, which is so lame. My dad was one of Buffy's best friends in high school. That's where he met Mom, she was a vengeance demon, but Giles destroyed her power source in an alternate dimension and she became a human. So my mom's a thousand year old ex-demon and Dad, well, just strange.
The rest of the family's not really related to us. I mean Dad has relatives, his parents are still alive and he has a few aunts and uncles but we don't really talk to them. They don't get us and plus I think Mom and Dad's wedding kinda scared them off. I've seen pictures so I can understand why. My real family are Mom and Dad's friends. There's Buffy whose a vampire slayer and the one who involved Dad in all this mythical stuff. Buffy's cool, she's stopped the world from ending like a dozen times and has died twice. She spends most of her time fighting evil. She has a really cool job running a self-defense gym where she teaches people all sort of fighting moves. Mom was really impressed by how much money it makes. Dad says it because too many things go bump in the night and people have started to realize that they need to be able to protect themselves. Buffy works with Spike, whose a vampire, only he has a chip in his head, so he can't hurt humans. The gym has a sewer access so Spike can get there during the day and the workout room doesn't have any windows or mirrors so he can help teach without freaking out the clientele. Buffy and Spike are together, which is so weird I'm not even going into that. Dad doesn't like it but he's accepted it especially since Spike totally saved my life when I was little. Spike's way over protective towards me and Dawn, Buffy's sister. Dawn's really a massive energy force that was changed into a human to hide her but she's still real. Somebody said that "reality is nothing but a collective hunch" and since the rest of the world believes that Dawn is real that makes her so. Anyhow Dawn's cool, she baby-sits me a lot even though I so don't need it, I am not a baby. Dawn's an author, she write these really cool fantasy stories which are actually based on our lives. It's so funny, when she's interviewed people always ask where she gets her ideas and she says from life and everyone thinks it's a joke.
There's also Willow and Tara who live together. They're witches though they don't really use their powers much. Willow sorta lost control of her powers just before I was born so she's really careful now. They're cool. Willow creates computer programs. She's really successful, she made this one that cross references crimes across America and Europe and back like a hundred years. She made it to track demons and vampire crime but the FBI bought it to track criminals and to research copycat crimes, Tara teaches at Sunnydale. She has this really popular class called History and Myth. She actually got teacher of the year award because the class was so interesting and popular.
Anyhow that's my main family. There's also our friends in LA. The Angel Investigations team are there and get to visit them at least one a week a year cause Conner and I are friends. Conner's Angel's son which is kinda weird cause Angel's a vampire and all. Still our parents always make sure that we get to see each other since Conner and I are friends and have the same godmother. Sometimes Xand who's the third of the group gets to come but normally Godmother says it sets off too much of an energy beacon. The three of us are suppose to form a triumvirate to defeat evil. Conner represents underneath because his parents are vampires, Xand, above as his parents are alien and me because well because my birth parents aren't actually Xander and Anya Harris. The rest of the world thinks they are but the family knows the truth; my mother was the Dark Slayer, Faith, she died giving birth to me. Godmother was there at my birth and brought me to Mom and Dad to raise as their own in order to protect me. Like Conner and Xand I am unique in my parentage. I am the only child ever born to a Slayer. I am Hope Harris, the slayer's daughter.
So journal, that's my first entry. A list of the characters in the play and their little secrets. The introduction to the book, how it ends is unclear. The story should be one interesting tale though. Let's see where it goes.
