'Welcome To Sunnydale.' A young girl of about 18 read. "I guess this
is where I'm supposed to be." She said to herself. She climbed back into
her 1994 RT10 blood red Dodge Viper Convertible. She started her car and
sped down the street.
Meanwhile across town…
Another girl threw a monstrous navy slimy demon into a dumpster.
"Must you attack now? I just got off work!" The girl said, she was still wearing her Doublemeat Palace uniform. The demon didn't respond, it picked itself up and attacked the girl. She dived out of the way, another figure appeared from behind the demon. It had a sword in hand; the man stabbed the demon through the heart.
"What are you doing here?" the girl asked.
"Waiting for you to get off work." The man responded.
"Why?"
"We need to talk."
"No we don't. I am going home to change and check on Dawn and then I am going on patrol."
"Buffy you can't keep avoiding me!" He yelled after the girl; who was now running down the street to her home.
'Is he ever going to stop? I told him I don't love him, or even care about him. So why does he have to annoy me?' Buffy thought as she ran down the street. She turned the corner and spotted her house, her running slowed to a walk and she unlocked the front door.
"Dawn! I'm home." Buffy yelled, then closing the door and tossing her keys on a small table. "Dawn?" She yelled again.
"What?" A younger girl asked bouncing down the stairs.
"Dawn, what are you wearing?" Buffy asked, noticing Dawn's trashy outfit.
"Can I go out with Janice tonight?" Dawn asked.
"Not wearing that. Go back upstairs and put on something else and I'll think about it. Okay?" Buffy tried to reason with her younger sister.
"But…this is what everyone else is wearing!" Dawn exclaimed with a hint of anger in her voice.
"So what? Dawn you know what is out there, and you can't just go out wearing something like that. It totally says 'come bite me!' And that is the last thing I need right now." Buffy replied. Dawn tried to say something else, but Buffy shook her head no and pointed to the top of the stairs.
Dawn sighed and went back to her bedroom to change. Buffy let out a deep breath and went to her own bedroom to change. Buffy grabbed a pair of skintight leather pants and a black halter top, she put it on and slid on a pair of boots. Buffy took off her strange looking hat and brushed out her short hair. Buffy stared at herself in the mirror; she heard a soft thud behind her. The Slayer knew not to turn around; she could tell he was there. Reflection or not Buffy could sense him.
"What Spike?" She asked.
"How'd you know I was here luv?" Buffy could feel him smiling.
The Slayer turned around, "What?" she repeated herself.
"I just wanted to come and see you pet. Don't you wanna…"Spike began.
"Just shut up, I don't want to and I never will. I thought I told you it was over." Buffy glared at him.
"You did. But you can't get rid of me that easily. Buffy, this may not be the best time but I love you. You maybe trying to avoid me because you are scared of me."
"I am not…" Buffy began.
"Not that way luv, you are scared of commitment. You may not think you have gotten over Angel yet but…" Spike began.
"Leave him out of this, he did nothing to you. I don't want to fall in love, I don't love you. I never will so just go." Buffy commanded. Neither the vampire nor the Slayer knew it but they were being heard, by Dawn and someone they didn't know.
