Chapter 10

When Buffy made it back to the compound Klaus wasn't there, she couldn't help but smile internally because she really didn't want to deal with seeing him so soon after him and Harmony hooked up. Elijah was there and had tried to ask questions about why she took off like that but she didn't want to talk about it with him. She knew that he didn't remember them being together but she knew one day he would and she didn't want him looking back at this time and thinking badly about her, she had already done enough things to hurt him and she didn't want to do anything else intentionally.

When she did finally have to face Klaus again she played like she didn't even know and if she did that she didn't care about Harmony. All she knew was that she wouldn't be playing the little games that Klaus kept trying to play with her anymore. She wouldn't get wrapped back up in him again if he was going to be with someone else.

It was about two weeks later that Buffy got the call she had been hoping for from Willow. They finally got a lead to who Esther was inhabiting, they weren't positive yet but they were working on it. Some of the younger witches were complaining about one of their classmates acting very different than normal. She was actually one of the other 16 year old girls that the witches had wanted to use for the Harvest, her name was Cassie.

Buffy couldn't help but smile when she left her room to find Elijah and fill him in on the news. She found him sitting, reading a book.

"Well we may have found your mommy dearest" Buffy said with a slight laugh.

Elijah turned his attention from his book to Buffy "Seriously?"

She nodded then jumped over the back of the couch to sit across from Elijah "In the form of a 16 year old girl."

Elijah's eyes widened. "What?"

"It seems like she's taken over one of the girls who was supposed to be a harvest girl." Buffy relayed the information Willow had given her.

She and Elijah sat and talked for a little while longer than Buffy stood up and said "Well I have to go have dinner with Oliver and Talon."

That made Elijah sit his book down "I need to ask you something."

"Go for it" She replied.

"Obviously I know that Talon isn't actually Oliver's but do you think this is a good idea?" Elijah asked her.

Buffy looked at him not understanding how he of all people wouldn't think this was a good idea "It's perfect, we need Talon to have a dad that is not Klaus and I have one that's offering without asking many question, it seems like a win-win to me."

"Aren't you worried that he'll get too attached?" Elijah eyed her.

Buffy couldn't help but laugh "Elijah he is the one person that you will never have to worry about getting attached, you do realize that he is like the true example of a werewolf, he hates vampires just for being vampires."

"But you're not all vampire" He said like she didn't know that detail.

"But I'm still part, he would never let himself fall for someone like me" Buffy paused "It's why he's a perfect candidate to be Talon's father."

With that she had Talon ready and was out the door. They decided to do a very public dinner so anyone could see them, she needed it to get back to anyone who might put two and two together and figure out about Talon like Mikael had. She pulled up at the restaurant and was surprised at his choice, it was a pretty nice place. She seen him waiting by the door and greeted him with a smile. As soon as they were close enough together he took Talon from Buffy, she couldn't help but notice how he just stared at the blonde wolf, which in turn made Oliver smile. They did the dinner just as they planned, like Oliver was just trying to spend time with his son and getting to know his mother since obviously they didn't do that before they conceived him.

Buffy was surprised that she was actually had a pretty good time with Oliver. She didn't think it would be awful but she was just expecting mediocre. They had talked quite a bit, she shared her history of how she became a slayer and all the crazy stuff that happened afterward.

Oliver was staring at her awkwardly but not saying anything after so long she couldn't help but ask "What?"

"I just feel like I should share something with you, I feel like we're probably going to be spending our fair share of time together and I think you have a right to know." Oliver paused before continuing "I haven't always hated vampires, a lot of people assume it's because of the whole werewolf/vampire feud that I am the way I am."

He hesitated but then continued "That's not the reason, actually in one point in my life I was in love with a vampire."

This was not something that Buffy had expected to hear, she couldn't help but gasp.

He smiled at the look on her face "We got together not long after I turned for the first time, no one from my pack understood but I fell in love and I fell hard."

"There were a few of her vampire friends that weren't too happy about our relationship either but it didn't seem to matter, we were happy and that's all that mattered."

His face fell "I guess there was a lot that she kept from me because from what I gathered they had been threatening her for a while about our relationship, she didn't take their threats to heart and they came after my family, killed my little sister and severely injured my brother."

Buffy seen the tears building up in his eyes, she reached across the table and laid her hand on top of his.

"I confronted them and they just laughed at me, when she found out she was irate went crazy on them but she didn't have a mean bone in her body and even thought she knew they needed to pay for what they did she couldn't harm them, she screamed and yelled some but that was all she could do but they were vicious and they attempted to attack me" He looked down at their hands and took her hand into his "Before I even knew what was happening she was in front of me and her best friend had her heart in her hand."

Buffy was beyond shocked by his admission. She understood completely where his hate came from.

"I knew they were stronger than me but when I saw what had happened I realized she was as shocked as I was so I took advantage of that, I grabbed the stake I had brought and I staked the vampire who still held the heart of the woman I loved in her hand." Oliver's grip tightened on her hand "I still don't know how I managed to get out of there alive that night but the first time I turned after that I tracked them all down and killed every last one of them and ever since that day I vowed I wouldn't ever let anything like that happen again, to anyone."

"I'm sorry Oliver" And she truly was, she was sorry that he had to go through something so horrible.

"There's no need to apologize" He sighed "Don't get me wrong I knew I shouldn't judge your whole species based on one experience but it made things easier it helped me deal with the pain."

"That's understandable, I've never truly hated the species and I was the slayer but I never in a million years wanted to be one it didn't even matter that I loved one." Buffy said as she finally took her hand from Oliver.

"You've been in love with a vampire?" Oliver asked curiously.

Buffy laughed, she hadn't meant to but she knew she had been in love with way to many vampires.

"My first love was with a vampire, before Embry" She about forgot that her and Embry were supposed to have known each other for years. "Let's just say that ended pretty badly I not only lost my virginity to him but then also had to kill him."

Oliver looked at her shocked. Buffy couldn't help but smile about the situation now. She told Oliver the story of Angel.

"It was actually right after Angel moved to L.A. that Embry moved back to Sunnydale, that was the beginning of the Buffy and Embry story" Buffy said recalling the fake memories "Before him I never knew that werewolves were born into it like you guys are I only knew about being bit."

Oliver chuckled "I'm trying to imagine your face when you found out what he was, here you're created to destroy all these supernatural things and once again you fall for one."

"I didn't find out until after he triggered the gene and they took off again, I knew he was something more than human but I couldn't actually put my finger on it" She paused "I had already started falling for him by then and I was left more than just a little heartbroken and once again landed in the bed of another vampire" Buffy shook her head remembering Spike. "We got pretty chummy to and when Embry came back let's just say he wasn't too happy when he found out about it."

"But you two worked it out though, don't you think you could do it again?" He asked.

She shook her head "I'm not saying that we never loved each other but honestly our marriage was rushed, the day I turned 18 we got married because his pack was preparing him to marry another."

Oliver looked at her knowing "Hayley and Jackson were actually betrothed."

Buffy nodded "At least it worked out with them, Embry was frantic so I married him, no questions asked… I loved him and I knew he loved me as well but we were too young to get married especially with all the craziness going on in Sunnydale… Honestly it didn't surprise me when he fell for someone else, a werewolf actually."

Oliver gave her a sympathetic look "Was that the girl with him in the club that night?"

Buffy just nodded.

Buffy's phone beeped with a message, it was from an unknown number.

*Meet me in 30 minutes at the place we first met, we need to talk about my children's mother

Buffy looked back up at Oliver "I got to go."

She looked apologetically to Oliver as she got Talon ready and headed out of the restaurant.

I hope you all like the past I made for Oliver. I know it doesn't seem to Oliver like since he really disliked vampires but thought I'd add something to his past that made his hate heightened. So what do you think?
