Unexpected Love
AU Set in the 2nd book Winging It. Zoe did get exiled in the beginning of the book. As a result she is sent to a different place in Chicago. During her exile she meets Spike and is enamored with him. Spike left Sunnydale afar Buffy told him to move on in Season 6 episode 18 Entropy. I know that the timelines do not match up. I thought of the idea and decided to write the story enjoy!
Zoe's POV
I could not believe it. A part of me told me to say something, anything, but I knew that whatever would come out of my mouth would only make it worse. My father had exiled me. Because I had made the decision to shift in the presence of humans. The two humans in question where Suzanne who had seen my dragon claw and my eye shift, back in April when I had first shifted. She then spread rumors and called me a freak. She had also taken to avoiding me like the plague.
She had not really seen me shift from human to dragon neither had Meghan my best friend who had also seen me in my dragon form. Neither had seen me shift from dragon to human either, though Meghan did see me in my dragon form. She had the 'Einstein look' on her face. That meant that she would not stop until she found out who the dragon was. Which could be really bad.
However I had blown fire and caused smoke to come up as a distraction while I manifested elsewhere. As the Wyvern I had the ability to do that. Once I got home I was greeted by the sight of my mother and father in the midst of an argument, my mother was full on crying. She then told me she was not abandoning me, but had to go away. Well after that my father and I exchanged a few words which led to him mentioning that he felt me shift today and subsequently asking if there were humans near. I could not lie to him.
He then told me I was grounded and that it could lead to exile. After that he contacted the Pyr and told them everything. I did not get the chance to defend myself. All I could do was stand there as my kind showed that all they needed to hear was one side of the story, never mind who it was from. My father then sent me to my room, while he arranged for my 'time away'.
An hour later he got me and told me to get in the car. He took me to an apartment complex across the street from my school. We walked up to the top floor and he opened the door. I walked in and he followed. He then spoke " This is where you will spend the next 2 years of your exile. The rent is already taken care of. Here is a card, money will be deposited into the account on the 1st and 15th of every month. He paused. " This is not money to go on a spending spree, we will be checking in on you." He handed me the debit card, and after giving me a stern, yet disappointed look, he left.
I stood there in shock for a moment, before shaking myself out of my reprieve. I walked to the door, closing and locking it. I leaned against it and breathed in through my nose and out through my mouth all the while counting to ten in Italian. After doing that I opened my eyes and looked around. 'Well' I thought ' If this is going to be my new home for the next two years, I might as well make the place more me'. What my ahem 'esteemed' father forgot was to have me pack. Yup I only had the things I was wearing and the things in my pockets.
I smirked another thing that my father did not know was that over the past five years I had been saving every dollar of birthday money, money from allowances you name it. Currently I had over $2,000. so most of the stuff i may be able to get using my own money. I sighed and took out my messenger to make a list of the things I needed. Once I was done I looked it over.
List
Kitchen supplies ( Pots, Pans etc.)
Furniture.
Clothes, shoes underwear,
School stuff.
Art supplies
Furnishings
T.V. ( If it is not to expensive, if it is get a laptop.)
Get a haircut.
Hmm. Well I figured now that I was on my own I could dress and look the way I wanted. I had always wanted to get my hair lightened a bit and possibly add length. I could also get some new clothes. Well this might not be so bad I thought. I looked around and spotted the keys to the apartment on the kitchen counter. I grabbed them, and after making sure I had my wallet, both my original debit card, and MPA Debit card ( Monitored Pyr Approved), as well as my messenger. I headed out.
Time to be the person I want to be.
