Prologue

It was a cold, creepy and dark night, Buffy, the slayer, the chosen one, was walking slowly like nothing was going to happen, but it wasn't a normal night in a normal town, it was a night in Sunnydale, the only town built on a Hellmouth, which has the power to attract vampires, demons and other creatures of the dark. Buffy was the only girl capable of killing them.

She was walking on her usual spot: Sunnydale's cemetery. She was waiting for a little bit of action when she saw a hand coming out a grave. The vampire didn't have the time to blink that the slayer took her favorite stake and staked him in one quick movement.

Buffy (tired): Well that was it for tonight, better go home now, tomorrow big day, a math test.... She didn't even finish her thought, that she heard voices behind the mausoleum. Quietly, she approached it and listened to the conversation

- Mmh, that was a good one, he was so afraid of me, did you see his eyes, and his voice was pleading, oh Angelus, you always know how to make me happy.

Angelus: Darla, my darling, don't forget that it's our anniversary tonight. He took her fiercely by the waist and kissed her like a beast.

Even if Buffy didn't see their faces, she knew they were vampires. She was about to attack them when she saw two other figures approaching, a man and a woman.

Buffy (whispering to herself): Vampires...

- Oh, Spiky, we found the lovebirds. There they are.

Spike: Oh gross. Pet can we just go eat. I really need a snack now before those two cut my appetite.

Dru: Oh, you are so funny, Spiky, but I need to tell something to daddy.

Angelus: What it is Dru?

Dru: Well, oh it just I'm hungry, and I want you to come with us.

Spike: That was your reason, to call Peaches here to come with us.

Angelus (angry): Shut up Spike, yes Dru, we can go now. Darla come, I want to show you something.

Darla and Angelus took the lead follow by Dru and angry Spike.

Buffy (thinking): Well, well that's interesting, Giles will be trilled.... and me who actually wanted to study for my math test...
