"Hey Dad" I said walking down the stairs slowly as my dad rushed around the room collecting up his papers with a slice of toast in his mouth "Dad?" I called again as he seemingly ignored me "Dad!" I raised my eyebrow when dad jumped and his pages scattered everywhere "Oh Nikki, I didn't see you there" he said sounding far away I nodded and walked over to fridge and pulled out the juice pouring myself a glass "So what are you going to do today?" dad asked me distracted, I frowned shocked we don't usually do the whole talking thing I've really held a grudge against my dad since him and mom spilt up "Well I was thinking of heading to the mall with my friends, maybe watch some tv..." I stopped when I realised he wasn't even listening to me "Also I was thinking of joy riding in Mrs Petersons car, get a tattoo and then getting pregnant" Dad looked up smiling "That sounds great kiddo"
I growled picking up an apple and stomping off upstairs throwing myself on my bed, I missed my mom and Buffy. I looked over to where her side of the room was and sighed I had to remember it was my choice to stay here I was doing this for Buffy. When my mom and dad split dad had got the court judge to agree to each parent got one child, Mom fought it arguing that splitting up twins was immoral but she lost the battle and I agreed to live with my dad so Buffy didn't have to, I knew she needed to be with mom more.
Throwing away the core of my apple I walked over to my walk in closet which I used to share with Buffy that was probably the only good thing that came out of this split, I got my own space. I pulled out some pants and a shirt before dropping one of my boots "Damn it" crouching down on to floor I noticed something in the back of the closet "What the hell?" It was a big cross and a wooden stake, laughing I put them in my bag "Geez Buff some hobby you had" I sighed wondering what my twin sister was doing right now.
Buffy jumps into a back somersault and stands ready to fight, the vampire in front of her growls roughly at her signalling he was ready to rumble with The slayer. Buffy pulls out a stake from under her jacket and holds it point out by her hips so the vampire can see she was going to win this fight. The vampire frowns when he sees the wooden stake held by the slayers side as he looked back up to her face Buff gave the vamp a mocking smile, growling the vampire launches himself at the young slayer.
Anticipating his move Buffy hits him with an outward crescent kick before hitting him with a front snap kick stunning him giving Buffy time to plunge the stake into his heart, the vampire falls backward and bursts into ashes just as he hits the ground "Three in one night. Giles would be proud" Buffy muttered to herself looking up at the sky.
Walking back from the mall it was now getting late and I was starting to feel a bit unwell but she couldn't put my finger on what was wrong with me. Opening the door and putting my bags by the stairs I walked into the lounge "Nikki is that you?" I looked up to see dad looking at me quizzically "You ok princess" I shook my head confused "I'm not feeling so great dad" I muttered pathetically, Dad frowned before putting his hand on my forehead "Well you don't feel warm, come on I made some dinner that might help" dad said leading me to the dinner table.
I looked at the food in front of me and picked at it I didn't feel sick I felt fuzzy and confused like something bad was about to happen. "So how was your day joy riding and getting pregnant" I shot up with wide eyes looking at my dad in shock as he ate his food nonchalantly "Um I didn't get pregnant" Dad looked at me confused "Did you joy ride in Mrs Petersons car?" he asked seriously pointing his fork at me "Not today" I told him with a mischievous smirk.
Dad put down his fork and sighed "Nicola look..." We both looked into the hallway when the phone started ringing "I'll get it" I told him walking away quickly before any authoritative talk was given. "Hello" I answered "Nikki?" a voice answered me back "Buffy?" the voice sighed heavily "Yeah it's me" I frowned something was off I could feel it "What's wrong, are you ok?" the voice sighed and I'm sure I heard a little sob too "I'm great, really great, I...I just wanted you to know that I love you ok? Always" I froze up hearing her say that Buffy was always the emotional twin but still this was weird "Buffy are you sure you're ok because I can come to you if you're in trouble" I heard Buffy laugh on the other end and smile "I'm ok I just wanted you to know that" I nodded and huffed "Have you and mom been watching those stupid sad tv shows again they always upset you" I could almost feel my sister smiling down the end of the phone "Can..can you say it back please I don't hear it too often and right now I need it" I smiled sadly knowing it was true "I love you Buffy Anne Summers, as my twin and big sister. Always".
I pulled the phone away from my ear "Bitch hung up on me" I muttered in disbelief, putting the phone back I felt worse then I did before. "Who was that sweetheart" dad asked shoving green beans in his mouth "huh? Oh it was just Buffy" I answered quietly my mind still stuck on my bad feeling "You know what dad I'm gonna go to bed now" I said getting up and walking back into the hallway and grabbing my bags "If you're still as bad tomorrow I'm calling Dr. Roberts to come see you" I heard dad shout to me from the dinner table. Getting into my pyjamas I crawled into my bed and pulled my sheets over my head and closed my eyes hoping for the bad feeling to stop.
Nikki walked around a dark cemetery confused she wondered how she got here "Hello?" I froze hearing leaves crunching behind me "Ok this isn't funny, show yourself" I demanded sounding more confident than I felt, A woman with beautiful black skin stepped out from the bushes, she wore nothing but white face paint and what looked to be a dress made from loincloths "I am Sineya" She told me looking very proud of herself "Good for you" I muttered turning to walk away before being tackled and thrown to the ground and 'Sineya' sat on top of me "In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer" Sineya told me darkly.
I pushed her off me and she started to laugh manically "You have the strength but not the skill just yet" Sineya looked down looking angry "They have failed you and for that I will give you special gifts to help" I looked at her shocked at the change of her mood "Who failed me, what are you talking about?" Sineya just smiled softly at me "You and me are very alike, we are alone"
I awoke jumping up my breath faster than it has been before, looking at my clock and frowned as it flashed at me I groaned before realising I didn't feel ill or bad any more in fact I felt..stronger? Sighing I shut my eyes and lay down hoping 'Sineya' wouldn't be plaguing my dreams again that woman was freaky.
