Chapter 1

Buffy's POV

I walked off the plane. I could see my Aunt Tiffany with a couple of people. She walked over.

"Hi Aunt Tiffany!" I hugged her as I said this.

"Buffy, this is your Uncle Edward and your cousin Sebastian Valmont."

I shook their hands. Then I followed Aunt Tiffany to a limo.

"I had somebody get your luggage. It should be in the back of the limo now."

I nodded. I need to learn New York quickly so that I can maneuver without getting in trouble. I glanced over at Sebastian. He might be considered cute if I didn't already have Angel. He seemed more my cousin's type anyway.

While I had been thinking, my aunt had been talking and I only caught the tail end of the conversation, "…so you will be getting her eight figure allowance while she is gone. I know it isn't very much, but we must keep up appearances."

'Not much? I could do a million things with that money. For starters I would get a cell phone to keep in contact with my Sunnydale friends.

"Here is this weeks!" Aunt Tiffany said as she passed me some money.

Sebastian's POV

'No wonder they wanted her to come. They could get rid of Kathryn for a while with minimal fuss. I wonder what I can do to her. Just because she isn't Kathryn doesn't mean I couldn't still play tricks on her. And she was attractive. Maybe he would try to get in her pants. She did seem the virginal type.'

"So do you have a boyfriend or anything back home?" Tiffany said disinterestedly.

"Sort of! I don't really think he considers himself that," Buffy said sadly.

I wondered what that was about. I would have fun figuring her out.

"Edward and I will be leaving soon after we get to the house. Take care of yourself. We will be gone for a few months," Tiffany said when they were a mile away from the house.

I noticed the small smirk on her face that disappeared so quickly that if I hadn't been paying close attention to her, I would have missed it. I recognized that Kathryn smirk anywhere. She was up to something. Maybe they had more in common then they thought.

This was getting better and better by the minute.

"Do you mind if I use the phone to make a few calls when we get there? I need my Wa-Librarian, school librarian. I am in a club that meets in the library after school. I need to check with the club members. I also need to call my mother and Angelus. That is my sort of boyfriend," Buffy asked.

I was the only one who noticed her slip up. I wondered what she was going to say before she corrected herself. And was she some geek. We would have to change that quickly if she was going to fill Kathryn's shoes.

Kathryn's POV

I just arrived in Sunnydale. Already I hate it. The only person who met me at the airport was Aunt Joyce. I wondered where Buffy's little friends were. Maybe she had warned them about me before she left. They would have to be dealt with.

I got into my aunt's dingy car. I hold my breath and only breath occasionally to deal with the old car smell. I was happy when we arrived at Aunt Joyce's house.

I took my luggage out of the trunk out of the car and walked in the house gingerly carrying my suitcases. I walked upstairs and set my suitcase on the bed. I could empty it later.

I needed to get out of here.

"Where do people go around here?" I asked Aunt Joyce.

"The Bronze is the popular place for young kids to hang out these days. Everyone goes there. It was one of Buffy's favorite places to go."

I nodded it didn't sound like much. It sounded like a dump. I changed out of my travel clothes into something more me. I was wearing a black leather mini-skirt that ended mid-thigh and a cream furry halter top. I wore leather heeled boots that went up to my knees. I left my hair down, curling it slightly. I was ready to hit the streets.

My aunt offered to drop me off at the Bronze but that is so uncool so I just asked for directions and started walking there by myself.

I handed a twenty to the bouncer (I did have some money. It wasn't like I came here penniless. Although it wasn't much, only about a million dollars. It would last me a couple weeks.)

I went to the bar and said, "Vodka Martini with a twist (AN: I don't know the names of many drinks, lol. I just turned 21)."

"Show me some ID."

I handed him my fake ID. He glanced at it and made my drink. I took it and decided to sit down and observe the crowd before doing anything.

I had been sitting for 10 minutes when someone walked behind me and leaned over and whispered in my ear, "So you must be Kathryn. Buffy has told me all about you. She wants me to leave you alone. See normally, I would ignore her, but in the condition she is in, I will listen to her. Not that it matters, I'm following her to New York on a red-eye flight in a couple days. I had to find something before I left. I'll warn people to leave you alone before I leave."

He left before I could reply. I turned around to see a gorgeous man walking away from me.

'No way that is Buffy's man? And what condition was he talking about?' I would find out!

Angelus' POV

I smirked as I walked away. I could see something dark in her. She was like an evil Buffy. I would have gone for her if I wasn't slowly, to my shock, falling for Buffy.

I glanced at my finger. The Gem of Amara glittered on my finger…
