Epilogue
I'd never given much thought to how I would die. I mean, depressing much? Seriously, you could give yourself an aneurysm worrying about how you were gonna die. Which... would answer that question, I guess.
There was a time, at the height of my delusion, that I was utterly convinced vampires where going to kill me. That I was The Slayer. The one girl in all the world who could defeat the vampires.
The irony of it all isn't lost on me.
Now I stare across the room into dark empty eyes. Eyes that reflect me. The eyes of a hunter. Her lip twists in a sick parody of a smile.
Oh crap.

Notes from The Author:
In this dark romantic adventure, I simply swap out Bella with Buffy. But this simple switch takes us on a different rollercoaster, as Bella is a passive character- whereas Buffy is active.
I find Twilight to be a compelling setting to explore Buffy from after the revelations of the episode Normal Again.
The Buffy of this alternate universe faces struggles of mental health, family, sexuality and ultimately her identity.
Content Warnings:
Mental illnesses (real conditions and descriptions of real institutions are covered using my own personal experiences. I treat it kindly). Graphic Sexual imagery and sex scenes. Violence. Blood. Horror. Girls who like girls. Some bad language (mostly Norwegian).
I hope you like this story, I had the indignation of having a hipster girl judge me hard for buying the full Twilight series from her trendy little store just so I could write it. You're welcome.
Twilight Notes:
To tell this story I have combined character or removed them for brevity. We will not be meeting Jasper, Eric or Angela, for example. This allows me to flesh out the more pencilled-in characters such as Jessica Stanley.
I have used Stephanie's writing as a basis for the first few chapters, but as you will see, Buffy is not Bella, so her inner voice and actions greatly shape the story.
Buffy notes:
This takes place after the events of the original Buffy film (Taken from the original script before Donald Sutherland fucked with it) and early in the events mentioned in Normal Again. This is Buffy is portrayed by the wonderful Sarah Michelle Gellar. She gets to have her natural brown hair color in this.
Knowledge of the film is not needed to enjoy this.
Usual Fanfiction disclaimer: This work is a fan fiction. I do not own Buffy or Twilight and am making no money from this work. I am just telling gay ghost stories for the fun of it.
