Sire

By KnightMare24

Willow was in the library, but what she was doing was something she didn't want the others to see. Willow had the Department of Motor Vehicles in the palm of her hand and she was having them issue a new drivers license, using the picture already in the system. It wasn't like Kristin would be able to wander in and get a picture taken now, nope, her vampire was just as invisible to mirrors as all the others. She wouldn't be photo friendly either, Willow thought that was a shame, because while she looked at the picture of who her vampire had been she could just see in the expression, in the eyes, that this wasn't her Kristin. That woman was just a little too innocent. That was a little sad, but then thinking of the smoochies Willow got from the vampire Kristin Willow liked that her vampire was not that innocent.

The address had been changed to Willow's and Willow opened another screen to look at the bank files. Those had been hard to crack as well, and Willow felt nervous doing this in such a public, but still very underused, place. Willow wasn't really stealing, it was Kristin's money after all, but Willow had to create a new identity and a new account for Kristin and transfer the money all over the place before placing back in the new account with fake records showing that the account had been active for a year. Kristin even had a record of payments and Willow had smirked as she listed false past checks to large businesses like Kristin liked the new last name her records had. Willow had given her vampire the last name Cohen. It had Jewish roots and when Willow's parents finally realized Willow was actually dating a woman they might actually remember that name. Who knows, maybe if Willow claimed Kristin was Jewish it might help calm Willow's parents down. Not to mention is was a little amusing to name a vampire after a Hebrew word for priest.

Willow closed the windows to the DMV and the bank just in time. Buffy tossed the library doors opened and walked in with a purposeful stride. Willow worked a little faster to pull up something she could claim she'd been doing.

"Hey Wills." Buffy greeted her and then Willow watched as her friend stared for just a moment and shook her head. "So, any big plans for the Spring Break?"

"Oh, um yes I have plans and they are, big." Willow stammered as she turned to look at her friend. Her mind stalled and stalling was bad. Willow just knew that she wanted to use that week off to spend time with her new vampy girlfriend.

"So what are your big spring break plans?" Buffy pulled a chair over and sat down. Willow felt her mouth go a little dry and she tried to think of something appropriately big. The memory of the money Kristin had taken filled her mind, along with her old plans for the week. Kristin would want Willow to spend some of that money, but Willow wasn't taking all of her vampire's money. Still it wouldn't take much to do something fun.

"I'm doing more campus visits. Yep, can't just pick something as important as a college on pictures alone." Willow's eyebrows drew together as she remembered she would have to pick soon. Her acceptance letters kept pouring in. She'd been accepted to Harvard and Yale, and still more schools had to reply.

Buffy looked a little disappointed. "Well, yeah that works if any schools actually accept you. I'm thinking college is probably out of range for me. I just applied to keep my mom happy."

"Oh Buffy, I'm sure you'll get into college." Willow spoke more gently. If Buffy could put down on her college applications that she was practically a superhero then they'd be jumping up to accept the slayer. It was sad she couldn't just do that. Buffy's grades really would have been much better if she wasn't out saving the world all the time.

"Yeah well, for Spring break I'll be helping mom out at the gallery." Buffy sighed. "She's got heavy crates and a slayer daughter. Didn't take her long to do the math."

"Start the party the man is here." Xander's voice was way too loud for a library and Willow turned to glare at him for a moment as he walked into the room. She stopped and just shook her head. It wouldn't do any good to tell him that libraries were for quiet study, and quiet talk. He never got that.

Buffy sat back a little and Willow saw the slayer put a happier face on. Xander hadn't even applied to college, so he wasn't all sympathetic guy for Buffy.

Willow glanced at the computer and started to type in a few words. If they traveled at night Willow could take her vampire to a city that wasn't sitting on a Hellmouth. She might have to figure out a safe way to get her vampire somewhere without the sun frying her, but Willow was pretty sure once they were away from other vampire's her own vampy girlfriend would be happier. Hopefully the rush job she'd put on Kristin's driver's license meant rush and not the normal government version of rush which may be weeks. No one would rent a hotel room to a seventeen year old, and due to some creative birthday changing Kristin went from 19 to 21. Willow figured if her vampire was going to be one age for the rest of her life 21 was better.

Staying inside had to be driving her vampire mad. Xander was saying something, but Willow bit her bottom lip as she considered that her vampire needed to start to learn to control her grr face if they were going to go out like this.

AN: I need reviews, comments on the characters and the plot. I'm also opened to suggestions about where the couple could safely get to and what they could do while they were there. Become Willow and Kristin's travel agent and leave suggestions. Looking at the number of hits this story gets I think I should be able to get twenty comments to this chapter. Come on, help me up my review count, you know you like me. – comment posted 6/15/07
