Part 3:

Claire walked down the streets of Sunnydale; trying to remember the name of the street she had been told...Rebella? No...Rebello? Revello! That's it! Revello...

The teenager sighed. So she knew the address. That wasn't really going to help her. How the hell was she supposed to do this? It was impossible! There was NO WAY that she was going to be able to do this....

Suddenly, Claire was sprawled on the floor, a pretty redhead bending over her. Behind the redhead, Claire could see a dark-haired boy and a blonde- haired girl. Both had amused looks on their faces.

"I'm so sorry!" The redhead helped her up, apologising the whole time. Claire laughed.

"It's ok! It was my fault, I was off with the fairies and I didn't see you coming."

She smiled at the group, liking them already.

"Well I'm still sorry." The redhead smiled back at Claire and shook her hand. "I'm Willow, and this is Xander and Tara." She pointed to her two friends as she introduced them.

"I'm Claire, nice to meet you." She nodded towards Xander and Tara, noticing a confused look on Xander's face. He looked straight at her, as if he was trying to work out who she was...

"Buffy!"

"What?" Willow and Tara looked at Xander, trying to work out what he was going on about.

"Buffy. I was trying to work out who she reminded me of. Its Buffy. Look, she has the same eyes."

Willow looked at Claire.

"Yeah, she does a bit. I mean, if you take away the dark hair."

Claire looked away, nervous under their stares.

"So...what are you doing out at this time of night?" Tara asked, her voice quiet.

Claire sighed, relieved. Thank you! A change of subject...

"Well actually, I was looking for a Buffy. Buffy Summers as a matter of fact. Do you know where I can find her?"

"You want Buff? See! I knew it! Are you her cousin or something?" Xander looked around the group, a triumph look on his face.

"Well, no. She, umm, she doesn't know me actually.."

"She doesn't know you? Well, how do you know her?" Xanders voice was now suspicious, as was the look on his face...

"I got her name from Angel Investigations.... They were too busy and I needed help, so they umm, sent me here." Claire lied, hoping that they would believe her. They seemed to because their expressions immediately changed and they started walking, indicating that she should follow.

"She's a good friend of ours." Willow said. "We're actually going to see her now. What do you need help with?"

"I, umm, I don't think you'd believe me if I told you." Claire stalled, trying to think up a good lie. She knew that Buffy had told her friends about her Calling but pretended she didn't. She would have to do that a lot if she wanted to keep her cover. If they thought she knew too much they would start asking questions...

Xander laughed.

"Trust me. Nothing you tell us could surprise us!"

Wanna make a bet on that? Claire thought. If I told you the truth, you'd be standing there with your mouth hanging open.

Willow chucked Xander a look.

"What Xander means is that if it's supernatural, we'll believe you. We've come up against quite a few weird things in our lives."

"Well....I'm being stalked by a demon. Well I think it's a demon. I haven't exactly seen it, but I know it isn't human."

"Do you have any idea what kind of demon it is?"

"No...that's why I went to Angel. But they are really busy at the moment, so they recommended I come to you. Angel said you would be able to help. Well, that Buffy would anyway."

Xander looked at Willow.

"Well it certainly sounds like a job for the Buffster!" They turned into a driveway and walked up to the front door. "She should be here soon and we can work out what to do."

Just as the words were out of his mouth, there was a shout behind them and Claire turned around to see a petite, blonde beauty coming up the driveway...
