Hello lovely readers. I have decided to rewrite some parts of the story and make the chapters longer than before and fix any mistakes I made. I have decided to split all episodes into two chapters. I know I have not updated for a long time because I have been busy with college and other writing projects but I have decided to dedicate more time to this story and it's upcoming spinoff/crossover with Merlin. One that I am very excited about and know you will enjoy if you enjoy this story. I am working hard on the Faith, Hope and Trick episode (the fourth chapter. I now have a more solid idea of where this story is going but I am always open to suggestions and I would love to hear your thoughts about this story. Have fun reading!

N.P.O.V.

This story is about a eighteen year old girl named Annemaria Summers but she's better known as Anne. She has a twin sister named Buffy who lives in Sunnydale with their mother.

When their parents got divorced Joyce got custody over Buffy and Hank got custody over Anne. Joyce moved to Sunnydale with her youngest daughter after the gym at Hemry High was burned down by Buffy, meanwhile Anne stayed in LA with Hank, Anne would sometimes visit her sister and mother, mostly when Hank was on another one of his 'business trips'. Anne knew he didn't do anything related to business when he was gone since he goes with his secretary to Spain almost every time.

In the beginning it really bothered her but in time she just got used to it. Before the divorce he would always do anything with her and Buffy but lately it was like he didn't even exist anymore.

A couple of weeks ago Buffy had knocked on her door asking if she could stay with her in L.A. for a while. Even though they've been mostly absent in each other's life lately they still had a very strong bond so naturally Anne agreed to let her stay.

One night Buffy had broken down and told her what happened with Angelus, that in the end she was forced to send the man she loved to hell instead of the monster that wore his face. With that broke down the reason for her visit became clear to Anne, Buffy told her she just wasn't ready to face their mother and friends again. After some pushing from Anne her sister confessed that she still had dreams of Angel that did anything but lessen her guilt and pain. Anne comforted her sister as much as she could. The last thing Buffy told her was that their mother had kicked her out of the house when she found out that Buffy was the Slayer.

Anne also told Buffy what had happened when Buffy wasn't there. A few nights ago a strange man came to her house and told her that she was the Slayer.

Flashback

Anne heard a knock on the front door, when she opened it she saw a stuffy looking guy on her doorstep wearing tweed. 'Do all English men wear tweed?' she wondered. His body language was obviously showing excitement and nervousness "Miss Summers?" he asked. She leaned against the door post "Yes, that's me. What do you want?" she asked politely.

He cleared his throat "My name is Wesley Wyndam Price, I am from the Watchers Council. Could we take this conversation inside?" he introduced himself. She stepped out of the doorway to let him in, she wanted to make sure he isn't a vampire. 'What does the watcher council want with me? I'm not Buffy..'

He smiled politely and stepped inside and closed the door behind him. Anne walked towards the living room and sat down in a comfy chair motioning for him to sit down, which he did. "I was hoping, I could discuss something with you" he told her. She nods at him "I figured that much, could you get to the point?" she asked, she was getting a little cranky. She didn't know much about these Watchers, so she didn't trust them. "Right, Miss Summers I was sent here by the Council to train you. You are called as the next active Slayer." he informed her puffing up his chest, his self imposed importance made Anne roll her eyes at him.

"You must be mistaken I'm not a Vampire Slayer. My sister is and this Kendra girl is not me" she denied. "You are, I'm sad to inform you that miss Kendra was killed by a vampire named Drusilla" he explained. Her head fell in her head and she brushed her fingers through her hair, Buffy had told her about the Jamaican Slayer she had been a friend. "So, I'm.. really a Slayer? I'm sorry I just don't believe you" she still found it hard to believe.

"I can understand why don't I show you" he smiled politely and was still very patient with her. She nods in agreement she wanted to know if it was true, something similar did happen to her sister ones, so she was willing to at least give it a try "Alright what would you have me do?".

He took her to the nearest cemetery and handed her a stake. "Okay, lemme guess. You want me to stake a vampire?" she asked him with her eyebrows raised. "Yes, one will rise soon. A vampire can be recognized by bumps on the forehead and fangs, the ways to kill a vampire are-". Anne held her hand up to stop him from talking and gave him an unimpressed look "I have seen a fought vampires before, don't need the lecture" not long after they saw a hand coming out of a grave nearby. Anne carefully walked closer, she had fought vampires before when she helped her sister and when she joined Gunn's gang from time to time.

He looked at her hungrily "Slayer.." he approached her. "Are you sure about that Ugly?" she replied. He threw a punch at her, she ducked on time and kicked him in his stomach. He stumbled against a tombstone, she stared at him in all her fights against a vampire a kick from her never managed to make them stumble back. She was never able to do that before. She looked down at her stake and realized this was her chance. She ran over to him and when he tried to get up she hit him again and pushed the stake through his heart.

He turned to dust, she fell back in shock of what she had just done. It had never been this easy and she had never taken out a vampire on her own. She was still staring at the spot where she had staked the vamp when Wesley began talking to her again "Do you see now that you posses the power of the Slayer?". She looked up at him from the ground "I do, so you weren't kidding when you said I'm the Slayer…I take it you're my watcher?". He nods at her and puffed up his chest again "Yes, I am. You are to report back to me every night and train with me every day." he spoke to her as if he was talking to a small child. He was not making Anne like him. In fact he was right on his way to piss him off.

She had a feeling that her life would never be the same again…

End flashback

When she finished telling the story to Buffy, Buffy was in shock neither one of them had expected that to happen. "That Wesley guy sounds even worse than Giles" Buffy said with a frown. Anne let out a laugh "Please the guy fights like a granny trying to get the less bottle of brandy". Giggling the sisters began comparing their watchers for the rest of the night. A few weeks later Buffy announced that she was finally ready to go home and asked Anne if she would like to come back with her especially since their dad was hardly ever around anymore. Anne agreed and decided to leave a note behind for her dad

Dad,

I'm going to Sunnydale to live with mom and Buffy.

I'm sorry but you're never here anymore and I get lonely sometimes, I think this is what is best for me right now. Please call me when you get home. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'll finish school in Sunnydale.

I miss you,

Anne

When she finished the letter she and her twin sister packed their bags and hopped on a bus back to Sunnydale.

When Buffy and Anne arrived in Sunnydale, Buffy wanted to go home first because their mom would be worried sick about her. When Joyce opened the door she hugged Buffy tight "Buffy..I was so worried about you" she sounded really worried but also relieved to have her daughter back, safe in her arms. Anne watched them with a small smile on her lips, it had been a while since she has seen her mother but she was glad and happy to see her again. When Joyce let go of Buffy she noticed Anne and gave her a bear hug "Anne, I have missed you so much! It's go to see you again. Please, come inside. How are you?" she rushed Buffy inside. They walked towards the living room and sat down on the couch. When their mother entered Anne answered her question "I'm fine, the last few weeks have been quite eventful especially with Buffy showing up on my doorstep" she gave Buffy a sisterly smile. Her mother turned towards Buffy "So that's where you have been? Do you have any idea of how worried I have been about you? Couldn't you have called me to tell me you were okay?" she said to her daughter. "Mom, I just needed some time to deal with everything that has happened weeks ago and you kicked me out of the house remember?" Buffy answered her.

"Right, so Anne what brings you here?" she changed the topic, and was curious about her daughter who she has missed dearly. Anne scratched the back of her head nervously "Uhm, well..I was wondering if I could stay here since dad is never home and I get very lonely sometimes and I have missed you two so much" she tried to explain her situation. Her mother smiled warmly at her "Of course you can stay here sweety, you can live here for as long as you want" she hugged her briefly.

Anne looked at Buffy and chuckled "How does forever sound?" she joked. Buffy laughed "Sounds great!" they shared a sweet sisterly hug. Buffy announced that she was going to go upstairs to unpack her things, Anne offered to help which Buffy accepted and the two of them went upstairs to Buffy's room.

Anne picked up some underwear " Where do these go?" she asked holding it up with a chuckle. Buffy looked up with a smile on her lips, she really had missed her sister's humor "In the lowest drawer of the closet" she instructed her. Anne put it there and when she closed the drawer she said "And that was the last of it". Buffy nodded "Yeah, we better go downstairs, mom will be waiting with dinner". Anne smiled at her "Okay, let's go".

When they entered the dining room their mother just finished with putting the food on the table. She looked at her daughters and smiled "Good, I was about to call you down".

They sat down and started loading their plates with food. Anne took a bite of chicken and looked at her mother "This is so much better than dad's cooking meaning diner food and stuff. It's delicious. I've missed this" she smiled at her mother, who beamed at her "Thank you. It's good to have a family dinner again" she smiled at Anne. "I second that" Buffy said smiling at them, taking another bite.

During the rest of the meal they made a little small talk. Anne offered to help her mother with the dishes while Buffy would prepare a bed for Anne in her room. Anne followed her mother into the kitchen with dishes in her arms, she put it down on the surface.

She saw a pan that clearly belonged on the top shelf of the kitchen. She picked it up, her mother looked at her "That's very heavy". She ignored her mother and with her slayer strength she put on the top shelf with ease. Her mother gaped at her "Anne what was that?" she asked. Anne let out a sigh she knew she had to tell her mother one way or another, she took in a deep breath "Mom, I'm a vampire Slayer". Her mother looked like she was about to faint "First Buffy and now you too? It's all my fault, it must be" she freaked out. Anne shook her head "No momma, it's not your fault. It's no one's fault. Not Buffy's, not yours and not mine. We never chose to be like this, it just happened to us" Anne tried to soothe her.

"How long have you known you were a vampire slayer?" her mother asked. Anne leaned against the sink "A few weeks ago, a man from England came to my home and told me that I was a Slayer. First I thought he had made a mistake since I knew Buffy was a vampire Slayer but after a test he proved himself right and I finally believed him" she told her mother honest.

"Was this man from some sort of council?" he mother asked. Anne nodded "Yes from the Watcher's Council. That man is my watcher". "So does that mean your watcher is here too?" her mother asked her confused. Anne couldn't blame her for being confused after being dumped with something like this "No, he doesn't know I'm here. And I don't really feel like telling him. Personally I find him very annoying".

"Anne, you can get the room next to Buffy's. Until it's done for you, you have to sleep in Buffy's room. I need some time to things this over right now" her mother held her head like she was having a headache. "Okay, I'll just go upstairs then. Good night" she gave her mother one last look and went upstairs.

A.P.O.V

Buffy and I talk for a while until we got bored and heard our mother in her room. We decided that we wanted to get some fresh air, so we went to our mother in her room. She held a hammer and a mask to put on the wall.

"Mom?" Buffy asked. Our mother was startled and the hammer made a whole in the wall "Buffy!". "Sorry" she apologized for startling her. "No, no. Don't worry about it. I guess I just got used to all the quiet when you were gone. But it's no problem. O, look it's Nigerian" she put the mask on the wall, covering the whole.

I looked at it "It does look very Africany". "I just thought, I'd hang a few pieces here from the gallery. It cheers up the room" she smiled at her daughters. Buffy looked at it like it was horrible, but I have to admit it is actually horrible "It's angry at the room. Mom it wants the room to suffer" Buffy told her mother.

"You girls have no appreciation for art do you? Are you going out?" she asked curious. Buffy looked at the jacket she was holding "O, uhm well if it's okay. I uhm I'd like to find Willow and Xander" I had no idea who they were but I figured that they must be her best friends or something like that.

"Will you be slaying?" Mom asked. "Only if they give me lip" Buffy replied. "Same here" I told her with a small smile. "Okay, so I can drive you. They can be anywhere" her mother said grabbing her car keys. I looked at Buffy with raised eyebrows. "Mom, if you don't want me to go just say so" Buffy said a bit down. "No, no. I just want to put this whole thing behind us and skip back to normal. You two go, have a good time." she looked at her hands answering her daughter. "Okay" Buffy said and we went out of the house.

We decided to just walk around town for a while even though it was already dark. The night didn't startle me or something it felt far too comfortable for it, I have always liked the night with the stars and the moon.

Suddenly we heard something breaking so we went towards the sound to investigate it. We saw someone sneaking a man with his back facing us. We walked closer silently until Buffy accidently stepped on a tin can. He quickly turned around with a stake clasped in his hand attacking us with a yell. Buffy quickly took the stake from him and he froze "Didn't anyone ever warn you about playing with pointy sticks it's all fun and games until someone looses an eye". "You shouldn't sneak up on people like that. Jeez Buff" he said like he'd missed her, he must be Xander I figured. Suddenly a wall of wood next to us broke and with a growl a vampire came out of it. He knocked us over in our surprise. Buffy and I quickly recovered and stood up. He grabbed the guy and Buffy kicked him. He fell over a trash can. Suddenly we heard a voice coming out of the guys walkie talkie "Come in Nighthawk. Everything okay?" it was a woman's voice. Buffy and I raised our eyebrows "Nighthawk?". The vampire stood up again and threw us into a fence, I ducked when he swung his arm at me and I kicked him in the stomach. The guy hit him and the vamp held Buffy against the fence ready to bite her but before I could pull him off, someone did it for me. Two girls one with red hair, the other with brown pulled him of Buffy and another guy hit him. The vamp kicked the guy to the ground who fell next to let's just call him guy number one. The vamp threw the brunet off him into Buffy who caught her. The vamp threw the red head into guy number two on the ground who caught her. "Hey Buffy" the brunet said, the vamp aimed for her and Buffy threw her on the ground as well. I grabbed the vamp kicked him to the ground, Buffy handed me the stake and I drove it through his heart.

When he was dust I could feel all of their eyes on Buffy and me. "Hey guys" Buffy said awkward, I gave them an awkward smile "Hi". They got up from the ground "Who are you" guy number one asked. I smiled friendly at him "I'm Buffy's twin sister Anne" I introduced myself.

He shook my hand with a goofy smile "It's nice to meet you. I'm Xander". The red head looked at me "You're Anne? Buffy told me about you. I'm Willow" she gave me a hand. I shook it "Really? It's nice to meet you too" I smiled at her. The brunet walked towards me "Hi I'm Cordelia and this is Oz. So how come we've never really seen you here before?" she asked curious.

"Well, I've lived in LA until kind of today. I decided that I wanted to live with my mother and sister again" I smiled at her. "Yeah, okay. So thanks for helping us out right there. You're not a Slayer too are you?" she asked. I scratched the back of my head "Actually I am. I was called only a few weeks ago".

The guy named Oz looked at me friendly "Guess it run in the family then". Buffy smiled at him "I guess so". Willow looked at her "I think you should go to Giles. He's been really worried about you, we all have been" she smiled at her. Buffy looked back at her suddenly nervous "O okay..".

We went to this Giles' house but when he got there Buffy began hesitating "You know maybe it's too late. We should just come back tomorrow" she said nervous. "The lights are on so I don't think he's sleeping. Why backing out now?" I asked her. Oz looked at me "She does have a point".

She was still nervous "What if he's mad?". "Mad? Just because you ran away and abandoned your post and your friends and your mom and made him lay awake all night worried sick about you? Maybe we should wait out here" Xander said looking at us.

Buffy took in a deep breath and knocked on the door. A man who looked like he was in his forties opened the door. "Check it out. The watch is back on the clock, and just when you're thinking career change maybe become a looker or a seer" Xander said to lighten the tension between them. I was guessing that this was her watcher.

"Thank you Xander" Giles said. He smiled a small smile at Buffy and opened the door wider "Welcome home Buffy". They went inside but I hesitated, I didn't want to invade someone's home, Willow smiled encouraging at me "Come on". I gave her a smile and went inside.

When I was inside the man noticed me "And who are you?" he said it with a friendly voice but I was still nervous. "I'm Anne. Buffy's twin sister" I answered him. "Anne Summers? I heard you were called a few weeks ago. I'm Rupert Giles, Buffy's watcher" he smiled at me friendly and shook my hand. "Yes, that's true. It's nice to meet you" I smiled back at him now more at ease.

We all sat down and caught up with each other, they asked me about myself and I told them that I came here to live with my mom and Buffy again. Buffy and I also told them that she stayed at my place the whole time until she decided that she wanted to go back.

Buffy said that she wanted some fun tomorrow but everyone already had plans. "Don't worry sis, we can make tomorrow a sister bonding day or something. Show me around for a little bit" I told her with a smile. "Okay, that sounds good" she smiled back at me.

After a few hours we decided to go home because we were seeing the principle of Sunnydale high tomorrow. We said our good night's and went on our way. I was glad that I got to know them better, we became fast friends and Giles had agreed to help me train but he had to talk to my watcher Wesley first.

N.P.O.V

The next day Joyce, Buffy and Anne went to Sunnydale high to talk and convince principle Snyder to allow Buffy back in school and to take Anne into school as well. When they entered they were told to take a seat. Anne's first impression of the guy was that he looked like grumpy from Snow white, at least he had the height.

When Joyce brought on the topic of Buffy being allowed back into school he said "Absolutely not. After no circumstances" he seemed to enjoy this far too much for the family summers' liking. Joyce was surprised "But you can't keep her out of school you don't have the right" she tried to argue.

Snyder smirked at her "I have not only the right. But only nearly physical sensation of pleasure of the thought of keeping her out of school. I'd describe myself as tingling. Unfortunately I can't keep her sister out of school but I'll keep an eye on her" he looked at Anne, who in her turn glared at him.

Joyce was starting to get angry "Buffy was cleared of all those charges" she made her point clear. Snyder didn't stop smirking "Yes and while she may live up to the not a murderer requirement, she is a trouble maker" he tried to make her see his side.

Joyce really was angry right now "I don't see how you can be so cavalier about a young girl's entire future" she said angry in disbelieve. "I'm quite sure that a girl with the talents of Buffy will land on her feet. In fact, I noticed that as I came in this morning that Hotdog on a stick is hiring. You will look so cute in that hat" he mocked Buffy.

She glared at him "Come on mom, let's go" Buffy said pissed off and stood up. When Anne stood up she glared at him, before she left. "This isn't over. If I have to I will go straight to the mayor" Joyce promised him before leaving. "Wouldn't that be interesting" was his last reply.

Back in the car Anne sat in the back seat, she leaned forward "I can't believe they allow such a dick to be a principle" she told them. Buffy chuckled "I so agree". "Anne language!" her mother scowled her but she was silently laughing from the inside.

"Don't worry about school honey. If we can't get you back into Sunnydale, maybe we can try private school" she tried to soothe Buffy's worries. Buffy looked at her in horror "Private school? You mean like jackets and quilts? You want me to get quilt hockey knees?" she asked her in horror.

"It's not that bad" her mother answered back. "What about home schooling? You know it's not just for scary religious people anymore" Buffy tried to persuade her, she did so not want to go to private school. "We'll work something out, okay? Say hi to Willow for me" she promised her daughter.

Buffy and Anne got out of the car to wait for Willow. After a couple of minutes waiting they decided to sit down on a bench. Willow was more than fifteen minutes late and it looked like she wasn't going to show. Anne looked at Buffy frowning "Does she usually not show up?". Buffy shook her head "No, she'll come. I think" She was worried that her friend had forgotten about hanging out together.

They waited for another few minutes until they decided that Willow wasn't going to show up, so they went home. When they got home they saw a woman that they had never seen before come out of the house, walking towards them with a smile.

"O my word. You must be Buffy and Anne. Look at you aren't you two a picture" she talked to them like they were little children. Buffy and Anne shared a look "Thank you" they thanked her, still thinking she was kind of weird.

"O I'm Pat from your mom's book club. I'm sure she mentioned me" the woman shook their hand with enthusiasm that was too much to be real. Buffy looked uncomfortable "Uhm, Actually" she answered but was caught off by her. "I um, I sort of took it upon myself to look after her while you were.. you know off and away and wouldn't have you in. She was just a wreck you can mention. Anyway I'm off. You go be with your mom, you need to rebond" Pat rudely interrupted and after that walked off.

Anne looked after her "What a bitch" she said and then looked at Buffy who smiled at her. "Yeah no kidding. You took the words right out of my mouth" they went inside looking for their mom, who was in the kitchen.

Buffy dumped her bag on the kitchen island and went for the fridge "Pat wishes us quality time" she told Joyce while taking some orange juice. Anne got some as well and leaned against the sink. "O I met her in the book club" Joyce answered and said book club at the same time as her daughters.

"O uhm before I forget, Willow just called" Joyce informed Buffy and Anne. Buffy looked at her mother "Where was she?". Anne took a sip of her juice "Yeah, that's what I'd like to know". Joyce looked at her daughters and continued "She got held up, but she said she tried to call". "Was there a message?" Buffy wondered. "No" Joyce shook her head.

She suddenly looked exited "I had a thought. What if I invited Willow and Mister Giles and everybody over for dinner tomorrow night? I think that would be nice" she said with a smile. Anne shrugged her shoulders with a smile "Sure, sounds like fun". Buffy had a funny look on her face. Joyce looked at her daughter "Since I already did. I was kinda hoping on a yes" she said hopeful. Buffy gave her a forced smile "That would be fun".

"Great, uhm do me a favor and get the good plates" she asked Buffy. Buffy raised her eyebrows at her mother "Mom, Willow and everybody aren't company plate people, they're normal plate people" she tried to make her mother see sense. "We never have guests over for dinner. Indult your mother" she instructed Buffy. She let out a sigh and dragged Anne with her to the basement to get the plates.

When Buffy reached for the plates on one of the top shelves, something fell over her head down into the ground with a ploffing sound. Anne saw what it was and made a disgusted sound "Great" she said sarcastic. "What is it?" Buffy asked still getting the plates. Anne looked at it and answered her "It's a dead smelly cat. God it smells awful" she pinched her nose.

They went upstairs to get there mom and explained what happened. Joyce suggested to bury the cat in the garden. She grabbed a shovel and the three of them plus the cat went to the garden. Joyce had put the cat into a plastic bag.

Buffy made a whole in the garden's ground and Joyce threw the cat in. Buffy looked at her mother "Next time I get to pick the family bonding activity". "Definitely" Anne said looking at the cat disgusted. Joyce looked at her daughters "Do you want to say something?" she asked. Buffy and Anne raised their eyebrows "Like what? Thanks for stopping by and dying?". "How about uhm, Goodbye stray cat, who lost its way we hope you find it" Joyce suggested it.

Anne looked at her mother "Personally I don't feel like saying anything about the cat right now". Buffy covered the cat with dirt again until the whole was filled up again. Anne was glad it was over and they went inside.

When all three of them were sleeping that night the eye wholes of the Nigerian mask in Joyce's room began glowing with a green light, which caused the dead cat to come back to life and claw its way out of his 'grave'.
