Sunnydale's Angels
Chapter 2: Welcome to the Hellmouth
"Come on Buffy, we're going to be late." Syl exclaimed as she dragged her adopted sister out of bed and pulled her into the bathroom so she could shower. Twenty-five minutes later, the two girls got into Syl's blue chevy and drove to school. When they arrived six minutes later they got out and started walking towards the school. As they approached the building, a teenager with short black hair, who was skateboarding flew past them and crashed into a nearby railing and flipped over it. The majority of the students laughed hysterically at the kid. Syl, Buffy and a redhaired girl ran over and helped him up.
"Are you alright?" Syl asked, strangely concerned for him.
"Yeah, I think so, just gonna have a couple of bruises." The boy replied quickly, looking at Syl in awe. "Wow, you're beautiful."
Syl blushed the same deep shade of red that her shirt was colored. "Uh, thanks." She told him.
"I'm Xander." The boy introduced himself. "and this is Willow." He said, gesturing to the redhead.
"I'm Syl Summers and this is my sister Buffy." Syl informed them with tinges of red still evident on her face. She smiled brightly.
"We're new in town." Buffy said.
"Yeah, on Revello drive right?" Willow asked and both Buffy and Syl nodded, and Willow continued. "I saw you move in a few weeks ago."
Xander started to say something but was cut off by an approaching brunette.
"Well, if it isn't the resident geek and her idiot friend, misguiding the new girls and ruining their chances at having a social life." The brunette said, and Buffy and Syl turned around to face the newcomer. "I'm Cordelia Chase." the girl continued, and held out her hand. "And you are?"
"Not interested." Syl answered coldly, knowing what it was like to be the underdog, especially with her background.
Cordelia withdrew her hand. "Hmph, you'll go far with that attitude." She sneered arrogantly.
"Save it.." Buffy told her, knowing that Syl was getting worked up, and the last thing they needed on the first day at a new school was show of power. Buffy, also felt a bond towards the redhead and the lanky kid.
"Whatever. You just shot your chances of having a life to hell." Cordelia remarked snidely as she walked off.
"What a bitch." Syl remarked dryly.
"Yeah, she is a bit of a cold-hearted priss." Willow agreed. "Unfortunately, she does have a lot of influence over the students through her popularity from being rich."
"So are you two twins?" Xander asked curiously.
"Uh, no. You see.." Buffy began and glanced at Syl.
"I'm adopted." Syl supplied. "About six years ago."
"Oh well, you look like you could be anyway." Xander noted.
"So what do you have for classes?" Willow asked.
Both Buffy and Syl glanced at their schedules.
"Um, I've got adv. French, Chemistry, free, lunch, Phys. Ed., Algebra II, and English III for today." Syl replied. "Buffy?"
"Biology, algebra II, free, lunch, U.S. history, Phys. Ed. And English III." Buffy answered.
"Great, we all have lunch together then. You can meet Oz and Scott." Willow chirped. "Oz is my boyfriend and Scott is in his band."
Xander was looking at his schedule with a bright smile plastered on his face. I've got Chemistry and Algebra II with Syl. he thought with a great joy.
The bell sounded and the four new friends went to their separate classes.
Library- C Period
Buffy and Syl decided that it would be a good idea to use their free period for the day to study in the library for awhile. Upon entering the room, they went over to the service desk where the librarian was seated behind the counter.
"Uh, what is your policy on lending out books?" Syl asked sweetly.
"Um, yes. They are allowed out for a maximum of three weeks, but you can renew them." The man said quickly, with a heavy British accent. Buffy and Syl shared a knowing glance. "I think you might be interested in this one."
He pulled out a large old book entitled Vampyre and the girls' belief was true.
"New watcher." They said at the same time.
"My name is Rupert Giles, and yes I was sent by the Watchers Council to replace your former watcher, Merrick, in guiding the slayer. Which one of you is Buffy?"
"I am." Buffy answered. "This is my sister Syl."
"Yes, I was told of you and your strange gifts but I'm not sure I quite understand. How you can have strength to rival the slayer's power."
"To put it simply, I'm a Chimera. Courtesy of the wonderful United States government. It's a long and complicated story and I'd rather not talking about it." Syl replied
"Fair enough. Will the two of you be patrolling tonight?" Giles inquired.
"Yeah, any idea on where the hot spots in this town are?" Buffy asked.
"In this town, every foot is a hotspot. This high school is built right over a hellmouth."
"Damn, looks like we're going to have a tough year." Syl joked. "Should have tried to convince mom to stay in Los Angeles."
Cafeteria
The two sisters entered and almost immediately spotted Willow and Xander sitting at a table with two other guys. One of them had light brown wavy hair and the other had slicked up black hair. The two sisters made their way over and sat down. Willow introduced Buffy and Syl to Oz and Scott Hope. And the six became fast friends.
"So what are you guys doing tonight?" Scott asked.
"Not really sure. We haven't had a chance to check out the town yet." Buffy answered
"Then we should all go to the Bronze and hang out. Xander announced
"What's the Bronze?" Syl wondered aloud
"It's a restaurant/night club for the teenage population of Sunnydale. You should come." Willow told them.
"Yeah, sounds like fun. I'm in." Syl agreed.
"I guess that it would be cool. But it can't be for too long, we have a previous engagement." Buffy reminded Syl.
"Yeah, yeah. You have a previous arrangement. I'm just tagging along for the fun." Syl told Buffy.
The end of lunch bell rang and the six were once again broken up.
That Night- the Bronze
Syl was dancing wildly and was surrounded by a rather large group of boys on the dance floor. Buffy was seated at a table with Willow and Oz. Xander was off getting the group drinks and Scott hadn't arrived yet. Both Willow and Oz were watching Buffy, who was looking around thoroughly, as if searching for a specific person.
"Are you waiting for someone?" Oz asked.
"Uh, no." Buffy answered a little too quickly, as she spotted a female vampire flirting with someone. After a few moments the guy turned around. It was Xander.
Shit! Buffy thought as the vampire offered her hand and much to Buffy's dismay, Xander took it. The vampire led him out of the club. Buffy stood and swiftly started towards the exit. Syl saw her pass and quickly excused herself from her dance partner and followed Buffy, mquickly catching up. Buffy drew out two stakes and discreetly handed one to Syl. The two tailed Xander and the Vamp out of the club and into an alley, where they soon heard Xander struggling with the vamp girl.
Buffy and Syl both charged into the alley. Buffy tackled the vampire as Syl pulled Xander away from the demon. Syl then turned her attention to the vamp who was currently brawling with Buffy. Together the two sister worked side by side, inflicting heavy blows to the vamp. Buffy managed to knock the vamp down and threw herself on top of her, pinning her down. Syl quickly staked it. Willow, Oz and Scott came running around the corner just in time to see the vampire burst into a cloud of dust.
"Whoa. You just took out that vampire like it was nothing." Xander exclaimed "What are you?"
"Uh, I'm a vampire slayer." Buffy answered.
"I am...a chimera." Syl explained slowly. "Wait, how do you know about vampires?"
"Well in case you haven't noticed, Sunnydale isn't all bright and shiny as most would like it to be. Besides a couple of us aren't exactly normal anyways. I'm a wiccan and Oz is a werewolf." Willow informed them.
"Slayer...." A menacing voice hissed, and the group turned towards the source. An old looking demon with knarled skin stepped out of the shadows and approached the group. Both Buffy and Syl took up defensive positions in front of their friends.
"What do you want?" Buffy demanded
"I want you dead, of course, but I came to offer a bargain. Leave town and I won't kill you mother." The demon hissed.
Buffy and Syl both moved to strike but the demon conjured up some kind of blue force barrier.
"Don't bother. This medallion protects me from any form of mystical attack, magic, ect." He taunted, showing off the talisman on his belt. "As long as I wear this, you cannot touch me."
Syl blurred forward, ripping the medallion off the demon's belt. She delivered a devastating kick to the demon's chest. The demon flew into a wall about ten feet away. Syl dropped the talisman onto the pavement, and Buffy jumped into the fray as well. The sister quickly restrained the beast and Syl snapped it's neck.
When it was over, Syl and Buffy exchanged a high five and turned to their friends.
"I'm guessing you want some explanations." Buffy said.
"No everything is fine, but I want in on your little fight against evil." Oz announced.
"Yeah, I want to help too." Willow put in.
"Sounds like fun." Xander chimed
"It's a party." Scott said.
"Guys, we appreciate it, but we can't let you in. It's too dangerous." Buffy told them.
"What's a little danger. Besides we're in more danger sitting around doing nothing while people are getting killed. I don't care what you say. We're helping you." Oz told them. "You're not getting rid of us."
Syl and Buffy looked at each other for a long moment.
"So it looks like we're six." Syl said.
