Chapter 02
She had decided to go to Sunnydale because she was bored with New York. Sure, it was a big city, but like Sebastian had said nothing surprises the people here, anymore. Sunnydale would be just what she needed - a small, suburban town, which had probably been set in its ways since Jesus fucking Christ walked the earth. With her and Sebastian both there, who knew what kind of havoc they could wreak? Sunnydale would never know what hit it. She laughed. She hadn't seen Buffy in years. There was always something about her that made her seem so much stronger than Kathryn.
When they were younger Kathryn could con anyone into anything that she wanted. She started young, but with Buffy things were different. Buffy proved that she didn't need Kathryn. She remembered the beautiful porcelain jewelry box. It was light pink with baby blue roses lining it. When you opened a ballerina popped up and began spinning in time to Brahm's Lullaby. Buffy's father had bought it for her. Kathryn loved it. She told Buffy that if she didn't give it to her she wouldn't be her friend. Buffy merely shrugged. This bothered the young Kathryn because everyone wanted to be her friend. She was the most beautiful girl in the world. Then she made her final threat.
"You give me that jewelry box or I'm going to beat you up." Kathryn said in a voice that could make blood freeze.
Buffy turned to look at Kathryn. The look she saw in Buffy's eyes made her wish that she had never said those words. It was then at that very moment that she realized that Buffy was stronger than her and always would be. She had never met anyone who could make her go speechless with a single stare, and that scared the hell out of her.
"I'd like to see you try." the young Buffy hissed at Kathryn.
Kathryn let out a little chuckle. Maybe, it had been all those years of leaving in L.A. that had made Buffy seem tougher than she really was. She couldn't wait to see her cousin again. She wanted to see what she had done for herself. Was she as evil and conniving as Kathryn was? This would prove to be one hell of a trip.
"Now, tell me why am I going on this again?" Sebastian said as he entered Kathryn's room.
"So, you can get out of New York City and play games with a whole new set of characters." Kathryn said as she walked seductively towards him.
"Sounds more like your motives not mine." He said a little snidely.
Kathryn walked over to him and pulled his face close to her like she wanted to kiss him. She traced the contours of his pouty lips with her tongue.
"Are you telling me you don't want to play? Besides wouldn't it be nice to see Buffy again?" She asked as she rubbed against him.
"I've never seen her in the first place. What the hell kind of name is Buffy anyway?"

Her mom made her meet them at the airport. She would've came along, but she had to go to work. Of course, this meant the whole scooby gang had to go with her to extend the warm welcoming.
"So, you're telling me that you have a rich cousin that lives in New York City?" Cordelia asked. "Why didn't you ever tell me that?"
"I haven't seen her in since we were 10." Buffy replied. "What difference does it make?"
"Oh, you know old Cordy here. Mention that you even have relatives that are loaded and suddenly she's your new best friend." Xander quipped.
"Shut up, Xander. You are so not funny." Cordelia said through clenched teeth.
"Children, please." Willow said sternly. "Now is not the time."
Buffy waited anxiously wondering how would she be able to tell her from anyone else? Maybe, she should have taken her mom's advice and made one of those dork signs people hold up at the airport. Kathryn could be anyone of these people. She scanned the crowd searching for anyone who looked like they might possibly be Kathryn. She had to keep in mind that she would also have Sebastian with her. She chewed her bottom lip not certain what to do. Should she go have them paged?
"I think I'm going to-" Buffy started.
Her words left her as she saw the girl who she was certain was Kathryn. It was like looking at herself in the mirror, but with brown hair. They could pass as twins.
"Hello, Buffy." Kathryn said through a wide smile. "This is Sebastian."
Kathryn pointed at the angelic looking creature beside her who looked as if he were deep in thought as his eyes swung from one girl to the other. His pouty lips formed a slight smile.
"Nice to meet you, Buffy." Sebastian said as he extended a hand.
Buffy shook his hand. He shook her hand longer than she deemed necessary.
"We're going to have so much fun together." Kathryn said.
She had the biggest smile on her face.Why did those words sounds so scary? Why did those words send Buffy into paranoia? Why did those words seem so evil?
