Port Charles
Emily couldn't believe it her eyes. But it was her. She stared at the woman standing before her once again trying to decide if it really was her. But it really was her, Buffy Quartermaine, standing before her. "You're alive." Emily whispers. "Does Jason know that you, his sister, is alive?" Emily asks knowing full well the answer is no. Buffy stared at her blankly unwilling to answer many questions for she had come to Port Charles on a specific quest and that quest was to protect her brother from the unknown danger that was posing a threat to him. Someone that he loved once upon a time was something very deadly and dangerous, something not human.
"Jason doesn't know I'm alive and you can't tell him." Buffy states in a determined voice. "Jason was just acquitted, given his freedom back. If he found out you were alive, that would be so much more to him. Why can't he know?" Emily exclaimed frustrated. Then a realization hit her. "Wait, are you the reason that Carly got what she needed to get Jason acquitted?" Buffy silently nodded her head. Taking a deep breath, she decides to tell Emily something but not everything. "Em, Jason can't know until I finish my quest regardless if I survive or not. When I finish then and only then can he be told, until then he and his son, Jake, are in danger. Elizabeth and Cameron is in danger. The kind of danger that I protect the world from."
Emily, blood draining from her face, nods her head as she comprehends what Buffy is telling her. She knows what Buffy is since Jason confided in her a long, long time ago. "Who is the danger?" Emily whispers thickly. Buffy smiles, knowing that she would ask that. "That I can't tell you. That is my mission, to stop the one endangering my brother and the one he loves." Just then Buffy gets a signal from her psychic portion of her powers, in the deepest part of her mind, and gets an odd look upon her face. "What is it?" Emily asks worriedly. "Stay here. I mean it, stay here." Buffy orders and takes off running towards the direction of the park.
The Park
A woman with dark hair is giving two guys thumbs up for a great job done. Buffy shows up with a deadly look upon her face with Lucky right behind her looking confused as all get out. "You. The slayer." One of the men said with a fearful look upon his face. He and his partner got out of there without caring what the woman thought. She stayed behind staring at the newcomers. "You arranged for Elizabeth and the boys to be attacked?" Lucky demanded to know in an accusatory voice. The look on her face was answer enough.
The woman ignored Lucky and looked at the woman that was called 'the slayer'. "Who are you?" "More importantly I know who and what you are and whom you abide by the rules of." Buffy replied with a deadly look. The woman, for a split second, let fear slip into her eyes. Lucky kept silent and stared at the two women wondering what was going on. "Then who do you think I am?" The woman asked with a sneer on her face. "You go by Samantha and you made every believe you were Samantha McCall and Alexis' daughter but your real name is Livia and you are a vampire whom took Alexis' daughter look. Just so you know I've reunited Alexis with her real daughter and your master is dead by my hand." Buffy answered in deadly tone.
'Sam' looked at her wondering if she was bluffing or not. "No, he can't die only by a true slayer's……" She didn't finish the sentence. Fear shown in her eyes as clear as the sun shown above. She finally realized who the woman is. "Buffy Sommers, vampire slayer." Sam whispered. Buffy smiled. "Yep. If you believe that then you know the ring you wear to help you be like humans, as in go in the daylight and have a reflection and things like that will wear off in one full day and night. Look at the ring and see for yourself that it is fading, the power is wearing out. I'm eliminated the oldest vampire master there is and I've eliminated the boy that was to take his place. I'm also eliminated your master, Caleb, and no one knew vampires roamed in Port Charles, New York, among them as they led their busy lives." Sam looked at her ring and knew Buffy was telling the truth. "So stake me then. Isn't that why you're here?"
Buffy laughed. "I'm not here to stake you unless you try to harm someone before your time to expire comes." "Why else are you here then?" Samantha/Livia asks knowing that she had to have ulterior motives for coming now since she only had a day to live from what she could see from her ring and what Buffy had said she knew to be true.
"The reason I have come is simple. You have threatened someone dear to me and I wish that threat to end permanently and it will tomorrow night. You will not be here anymore. You will be like all other vampires, ashes." Buffy stated smiling. That made Sam/Livia angry, angry enough to show her fangs. Lucky, startled, stepped away from her and behind Buffy. He believed finally what this woman, Buffy, was saying whom he thought her name to be Sam really was.
Buffy got her stake out, ready for action if action was required. Sam/Livia stepped back, self consciously. Buffy grinned knowing that would be the reaction she would take to seeing her weapon of choice. "Who have I threatened that you love?" Sam/Livia asked. "My brother and his family." Buffy answered. "I am Buffy Quartermaine known as Buffy Summers legally, to protect my family from things like you. I went as for as not letting them know I was alive when Willow brought me back to life with magic the second time I died." There was darkness in Buffy's eyes as she said that and she watched Sam/Livia very closely waiting to see what she would do with that new bit shocking information since Buffy knew that as Sam, she had a past with her brother. The realization on the other woman's face was crystal clear to both Buffy and Lucky as she realized whom Buffy was referring to. "Jason Morgan is your brother." Sam/Livia said. It wasn't a question, but a statement.
Buffy smiled. "Yes, he is and you have done enough damage to him and so have I. For if I had told him that I was alive he would have known how to be more alert for things like you. But you toyed with his heart and now you are threatening his son and you, Lucky, know the truth now so don't act so innocent because you've made mistakes as well." Sam/Livia made an act towards Buffy and Buffy pinned her down with her strength. Lucky acted and put cuffs on Sam/Livia stating the law as he did it. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you." "When? I'll be ashes tomorrow night." Sam/Livia exclaimed in fake shock.
"If I don't I'll have to live with you going after Elizabeth and the boys again because you will and you know you will." Lucky said as he held her steady in front of him. "Will you come as well, Buffy?" Lucky asked. "If she gets out of hand you're the only one who knows how to handle a vampire and by the way I am Detective Lucky Spencer." Buffy nods her head and follows Lucky as he leads Sam/Livia towards his police car.
Lucky, once they are in the car, calls Elizabeth and asks her to come to the station so she would know the truth of to what had just happened and they seriously needed to talk even though it was a talk that he dreaded but it was inevitable. When they got to the station, he consulted and quietly told Mac what was going on and that he firmly believed everything he just said to be true since he saw the fangs. Mac got Sam/Livia in a holding cell that he hoped was strong enough to hold a vampire.
Port Charles Police Station
Sam/Livia is cuffed to a chair with handcuffs on her wrists and her ankles for added protection from everyone. They were oblivious to the fact that she had no intention of fleeing because even if she did she would still perish tomorrow night so why flee. That was running through her mind as she sat there. Lucky called Jason as well, but did it inconspicuously for he sensed that Buffy was afraid of her family knowing she was alive. That entire confrontation was engraved in stone to happen regardless if she was ready or not for them to be aware that she was alive.
Buffy sat in a chair watching Sam/Livia through the glass door with a cautious look in her eyes. Lucky had just sat down beside her when Elizabeth showed up with the boys. He got up and headed towards them. Buffy's sixth sense told her that he had called Jason. She closed her eyes and prepared herself for the questions that were about to come barreling out at her. Elizabeth looked at Lucky with a look that clearly said, what is going on. "We found the culprit who sent the two men to attack you and the boys in the park." Lucky stated just as Jason came in the room all panicked that they had been hurt. All Lucky told him was that Elizabeth needed him and to hurry to the station pronto.
He looked at Elizabeth and Lucky and the boys with a silent look on his face as though asking what is going on and are you alright. Lucky moved away from where he was standing since he was blocking Jason's view of the newcomer. Jason stared at her as she got up and turned around. Shock evident on his face he stepped closer to her. "You're alive." He said thickly. "Why haven't you or Willow or Dawn or anyone told us?" That was the question she was dreading but she knew she had to answer it.
"Because you and mom and dad and everyone would have been in more danger then even you could comprehend. I know you lead a dangerous life but I have a even more dangerous life then anyone, including these policemen, here, have." Buffy answered just as thickly since this was the first time she had seen Jason since she had turned fourteen, for that is when she discovered she had powers. She didn't get trained until she turned sixteen however. "Before you say your life is more dangerous, Jason, I've died twice. I shouldn't be here right now. I was brought back to life by dark magic by Willow. She pulled me out of heaven and to me then this is hell but now I see I'm still needed here so it's not hell anymore."
"Twice?" Jason said, again not asking but simply whispering. Buffy nodded her head. "The first time is when I fought the master of all vampires in the world. He was the oldest vampire to ever live among the undead. I eliminated him after Xander brought me back to life with mouth to mouth because I wasn't completely dead but I was dead enough for another slayer to be summoned. The rule is only one slayer but I changed the rules like I always have and always will." She answered. "Sam, you know her as Sam, is a vampire, Jason. She always has been and she always will be. She has one day to live and tomorrow night she will perish since I have eliminated all vampire masters there were, including the boy that was to take the oldest vampire master's place. The ring, that she has to make her appear human, as in be able to be out in the sunlight and to have a reflection and things like that, the power is wearing off. I have recently eliminated Caleb, the vampire master of Port Charles. He was her master. Her real name is Livia. I have reunited Alexis with her real daughter whose name is Samantha. Livia took Samantha's look and identity and hid her captive but she is well because if she wasn't well then Livia's ruse to pose as Sam wouldn't have worked." She added hastily trying to get all the information out before questions began pouring in.
Jason decided he better sit down. His legs felt like jell-o. He didn't trust them to stand anymore. Elizabeth watched him closely and saw him stumble as he walked to the chair. She steadied him and helped him sit down. Lucky and all saw the loving gesture and knew that they were over.
Teaser: What do you think so far? Coming, Jason and Buffy talk as well as Lucky and Elizabeth and of course the talk of Jason and Elizabeth will be coming soon as well. Also, what do you think of the idea of a Buffy and Lucky pairing? Or should I bring Angel in the picture and pair Lucky with Cordelia? I would love comments and suggestions and don't worry I am going to finish my other stories too. J
