I don't know who I am.. I aren't like any normal person, like you or bob down the street, I'm supposed to live with the demons in the dark as I crave the blood that makes human's so.. Human.

Born like any normal person but different, you see on the night that I was supposed to be born, the night I was supposed to come into being, my one link with the outside world, my mother was bit. An insect didn't bite her although the things that did come rather close; she was bit by a vampire.

So there I was a small child with the strength of 7 fully grown men, able to bend bars with my small hands that were supposed to be fragile and weak, no place could keep me. I escaped from the children's home when I was 4, a young child. Many would try and take advantage of me or try to hurt me as I walked around town feeding on rats but they of course didn't know about my supernatural strength and after I had broken a few bones they left me alone.

One of my oldest memories was walking through a small alley then suddenly with a jolt of pain I felt a stake in my right shoulder.. Then a man stepped from the shadows.. I could smell the blood in his veins and god I wanted to taste it so much. He was supposed to kill me I have no doubt about that but something stopped him, call it a conscience, faith in my will power or whatever but he tuck me under his wing.

His name was Whistler, a stronger individual than you could possibly ever hope to meet. He had probably one of the hardest lives that I have heard of and mine hasn't been a big old bed of roses. Twenty years ago to the date his entire family had been wiped off the planet by the same scum that half of my DNA came from, vampires. After that event he had decided to gain some kind of revenge on the creatures and that is why he hunted them, to maybe stop such an event happening to anybody else. He is a good man.

My life after that event in the Alley was pretty much hard, I had to learn restraint and he was only too happy to teach me, I think it'd because he was getting too old to fight anymore and he needed someone else and he saw some good in me. He created a potion that would hold back my hunger we call it the serum, At first I had to take about 1 day but have recently moved up to two, I guess my bodies becoming accustomed to it and I have no idea what I'll do when It finally becomes of no use.

Anyway enough of the angst. My life moved quickly after that and Whistler made me join a school much to my dismay. I joined Sunnydale High and I actually made some good friends not to my liking I can tell you. I just couldn't help liking them, Willow and Jesse.

Willow, what can I say about her? Well she's very intelligent and in fact helps me with most of my classes; she's very pretty despite what other people like to say in the school.. Although I don't remember anyone saying anything after that incident with Mark and the vending machine.. It took ages to pull his head out of it I heard. Willow is about the kindest person in the world and she wouldn't hurt a fly and that's why I feel I can tell her anything.. But have yet to tell her my BIG secret.

Jesse, He's funny, tells jokes to cover up discomfort basically a lot like me but without the fangs. He is about the most loyal person I know and stands by his friends through thick and thin.

So here I am. Xander Harris at a normal School with normal people.. But different, among normal people with normal lives that I can't relate to one bit. But with the help of my friends I can cope.

The slayer should be coming soon; Whistler has inside information inside an organisation called the watchers council. A new slayer is set to come to Sunnydale, one girl in the entire world destined to destroy the darkness and the vampires that plague the night, sounds like my kind of girl.

I sit here at a dinner table in the lunch room watching as Willow and Jesse banter back and forth, the daylight shines around me and seems eerie to a creature such as myself that should be in the night.

I am Xander Harris.

I am the Day walker.
