A/N:Okay so this is the first chapter in my Buffy the vampire slayer/Twilight crossover fanfic. It takes place somewhere in season 6 of Buffy and starts at the scene where Bella says goodbye to Charlie. It's slightly AU and can often be a bit OOC because I like to spice up the characters a bit. Hope you like it! Please review and let me know what you think! :)

Twilight is (c) to Stephenie Meyer and Buffy The Vampire Slayer is (c) to Joss Whedon. I don't own anything except one future character, but that's another story.. -

-Casey Cullen.

Chapter one
Decision.

Bella's POV.

I ran back to my truck, tears in my eyes. Charlie stood frozen on the doorstep, with a horrorstruck expression. I wish I didn't have to hurt him, but it was the only way to keep him safe. I knew he would someday forgive me, but it still hurt so much that I couldn't help but cry. Edward was already waiting in my truck, key in ignition. We drove back to the Cullens' house in silence. We were going to head south to Pheonix - it was the last place James would look for me, because I'd said that was the place I was going. Edward cradled me in his marble arms and ran inside at superhuman pace. Everyone was waiting inside; their expressions tense, worried. Alice broke the silence.

"No way!" she gasped. Everyone looked at her, except Edward who was staring down at me.

"What is it Alice?" Jasper asked.

"He knows... He knows you're going to Pheonix." she answered looking from Jasper to me.

"Well that sucks." Emmett said. Edward glared at him and said through his teeth something I didn't catch.

"Aw, come on man. You know it's a good plan." Emmett grinned. "B'sides I haven't seen Spike in forever. He's a good fighter, killed two slayers in his time. He could help us you know.." His voice trailed off.

"I know that Emmett. But how do you think Bella's blood would appeal Spike? He would kill her right there on the spot!" Edward's expression was calm but his eyes furious. I raised my eyebrows.

"What are you talking about? Who is Spike and what plan does Emmett have?" Everyone turned their heads to look at me.

"Sorry, Bells." Emmett said, grinning "I was just talking about Sunnydale. It's the one place a vampire should never go to. Hence the name. And Spike is.. a friend." The way he said the word 'friend' made me raise an eyebrow.

"It's going to work, you know." Alice shot in.

"Alice," Edward growled "I am not willing to take that risk."

"Oh, so you're just going to head over to Pheonix then and let James kill Bella there? Is that your plan?" she snapped.

"They do have a point, you know." Carlisle nodded thoughtfully. "And I doubt Spike would go against the seven of us."

Emmett whispered something to Rosalie that sounded like "Yeah, he's had a piece of that before." and she giggled. I glanced at her. That was the first time I'd ever heard her laugh. Without noticing, I sighed. She was so perfect. I couldn't help but wonder once again why Edward had chosen me.. But it seemed like Edward understood my expression, because he squeezed my hand and smiled down at me. Sometimes it seemed like he could read my mind. But then again my mom always used to say my face was like an open book.

I snapped out of my thoughts as Edward sighed and said, "Fine. But I'm driving." I frowned.

Me, Edward, Alice and Emmett took the Mercedes while Rosalie, Jasper, Esme and Carlisle took Edwards Volvo. I must have fallen asleep because I suddenly opened my eyes to a very bright light. I realized, that light was the sun. I was lying in Edward's lap, my head resting on his left shoulder. Apparently, Alice was driving instead of Edward.

"How are you holding up, Bells?" Emmett's voice boomed from the front passanger seat.

I looked up and my eyes met Edward's. "I'm okay." I said, smiling. That's when everything came back to me. The game, James, Charlie's hurt eyes and the argument at the Cullens' place. I grimaced at the memories from the day before.

I straightened my self up to a sitting position and put on the seatbelt. Edward smiled a crooked smile.

"She's being hunted by a dangerous vampire and is escaping with good ones to a place she's never been to before, and she knows there is a vampire there too, 

and she's worrying about getting into a car accident." He shook his head, still smiling.

"I thought you couldn't read my mind." I said, playfully. He leaned down and kissed my forehead, but didn't say anything. I quickly fell asleep again.

A/N: Okay, this was the first chapter and probably the most boring one too. The action comes later - and that has a double meaning. Rated M for a reason. ;)

But yeah, so this is my first crossover fanfiction and I would LOVE feedback! :)
