Margaret:

Faith had offered to drive. I wouldn't have let her, she didn't even have a license. The car was pretty much terrible, but it worked. She had been crying a bit, I hadn't asked her about what. I closed my eyes, realising how tired I was.

'Faith Worth?' I asked

A girl of 18 turned around. She had dark hair, dark eyes and beautiful red lips.

'Its just Faith.' She said, a cigarette aligned in her mouth

'You need to come with me.' I said

'Why?' she asked

'Your destiny awaits.'

'Destiny?'

'You must fight them. The vampires...the forces of evil.'

'Vampires? What are you on? Cause it sounds pretty damn exciting.' She laughed

I pulled out my small book, and began reading.

'In every generation there is a chosen one. With the strength and skill, she alone will fight the demons, the vampires, and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer.'

'You British?' she laughed

'This is no laughing matter Faith. What you see around you, those vampires, those creatures...come to the cemetery with me, you have to. If you do not, more will die.'

I grabbed her shoulder. She pushed me back.

'Get off me!'

I felt my back aching. I felt my glasses break.

'Oh god, sorry.' She said, kneeling down

'Do you see the power you have?' I asked

'You won't lay off.' Faith said, standing up and running out the door

It was the next night that I went searching for her. I didn't bother to look in address books, or phone books. I would not find her, but she would find me. I had decided to go to a bar, a popular one in the inner city. This girl was capable, but I could tell she was much prone to the bright lights.

It was terrible. Loud music, people screaming. Young people continually asked me, "Where's your kid?' I struggled to answer that one. My daughter, Rose, had been killed while fighting vampires. She was like me, always wanting more in the battle. Eventually I applied for a job as the watcher of a slayer. Most people did not want it, although I was in a tough position. The people I was up against...well I won't go into detail.

Then I saw her. She was wearing leather, possibly the same clothes she'd worn the night before. I felt a man grab my shoulder. He was older, 50.

'Yes?" I asked

'You wanna come back to my place, make a little love?' he asked

'No, I do not.' I said, pulling my suitcase up to the bar

'Yes you do sugar.' He said

'Get off me.' I said

I felt his face turn. I looked around...he was a vampire. 'Ahh!' I screamed, pushing him back

I felt other girls scream, and the music being turned off.

A woman vampire stood on the table. 'Hey everyone, I'm Ever. Don't be afraid that I'm a vampire, all I want to do is give you eternal life.'

I pulled out my cross, and issued it on the male vampire's face. He moved back, stepping away.

'First to be fed, is this girl here.' She screamed, pulling a girl from the crowd

'No, please not me! Get off!' she screamed

I moved towards the inner crowd, and grabbed Faith.

'You must come with me.' I said

'You set this up?' she asked

'Of course not...' I said

She nodded, knowing that there wasn't much choice in the matter.

The girl fell to the floor, blood everywhere. The female vampire cried, 'Whose next?'

'Oh no.' I said

'Oh my god...' said Faith

'What?'

I looked that a young girl was standing on the table.

'That's my sister.' She said, rushing up to the table

'Looks like we have a volunteer.' She said, pushing her sister on her left side

'Yeah, looks like we do.' Said Faith

'Faith!' I said, passing her a stake 'In the heart!'

'You're not a...?' she asked

'Sorry Ever,' said Faith, knocking the vampire to the floor

Her sister jumped off the table. Faith noticed the other vampires, and began fighting them.

'Everyone get out!' I screamed, leading the way to the doors

'You see the power you have?" I asked

The bar had been wrecked. Ever was the only one who managed to escape.

'I never thought there was a...a slayer. I just thought these vampires were here...there was no way to fight them.'

'Well there is.' I said

'Does that mean I, I fight these guys for the rest of my life?'

'You're tied to it.'

'Margaret.' Faith said

'What?' I asked, opening my eyes

'We're here.'

Joyce:

Willow and Amy had volunteered to patrol. They planned on using their wicca skills to fight the vampires, like these usually did. I was so tired, I had been so tired, for the last couple of weeks. I had been organising a major upcoming battle that could mean the end of the vampire rules humans.

Giles and Marion were out, and Corderlia and her parents were already asleep. I pulled out a cigarette. I hardly ever smoked. I knew it harmed my health. I knew it did, I knew it was shortening my life. I wasn't stupid. But I needed it more than anything.

I heard the door being knocked on. I got up, destroying the cigarette. I answered the door.

'Hi,' said a young girl, dark hair

I pulled out a crucifix.

'Woah, slow down! I'm not a vampire!' she said

'I am Margaret Porter, of the watchers council of Britain. I believe a Mr. Rupert Giles lives here.' I said

'Well yes, but he's out.' I said

'Oh...well this is a vampire slayer, this is Faith.' She said

I stopped. I grabbed the girl by the shoulders. I looked in her eyes. I dropped my crucifix. I'd never known Buffy was the vampire slayer, Giles had told me.

'Mrs. Summers?' he asked, his voice patiently smoothing itself out

'Yes.' I said, still grieving over the loss of my daughter

'Buffy, she was, you do know...she was a vampire slayer.'

'Vampires? You mean those awful things...those things that keep coming out in the middle of the night...'

'Yes. And if she had not died...well, it wouldn't have been like this.'

'She fought those vampires?" I asked 'I think you have the wrong Buffy Summers.'

'I do not, Mrs. Summers, and we need to fight them.'

'Excuse me? We?'

'I think, I think you have a destiny in fighting these creatures. I may be wrong, but, well, I think you do.' He said

I stared in his eyes, and realised that he was telling the truth.

'Mrs. Summers, we believe that we can help in this battle...' said the woman

'I know that.' I said

'And we believe that we can stop the evil here.'

'You wish.' I said

'Well we better must do if you have no confidence in us.' She said

'Come in.' I said, letting go of Faith
