HAUNTED

Haunted by Allie Ilse

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Buffy, Angel or Charmed but I do own Amber, Kristi, Allie, and the ghosts.

Author's notes: This is a story I came up with as a challenge my friends gave me. The characters I own are based on them. Doyle never died. Jenny is alive again. Lindsey never left. Darla never got pregnant by Angel. Riley left Buffy a long time ago. You know, way before they, in the words of Cordelia Chase, "got groiny with each other."

Spoilers: Some of season 1, 2, 3 ,4 , and 5 of "BTVS", some of season 1, 2, and 3 of "Angel", and some from the first 4 season's of Charmed. Cole is still part demon. Paige is here, but so is Prue. To understand, read what happened.

Synopsis: Buffy's old friend from L.A, Allie, based on me, who is now in college, and who knows of Buffy's secret identity as the Slayer, asks her help in defeating a murderous man who is stalking her and her roommates, Amber and Kristi, even though he's been dead for more than 160 years. The three go to Sunnydale in search of Buffy. She comes with them to L.A, and they learn of the story. Meanwhile, Doyle, who never died(in my world that is since I love Doyle!!) has a vision of Allie, Amber and Kristi in danger, at the same time Phoebe Halliwell has a premonition of the same thing. Thus creating the BTVS/Angel/Charmed crossover story, Haunted.

Feedback: Yes. It's my first fanfic. Whether positive or negative I wanna hear your opinions.

Prologue

SMASH! The sound of glass shattering echoed through the beach house in Los Angeles. Amber Stotler, one of the three girls that lived there, ran into the living room to see that all the pictures that had once been hanging on the walls were now on the floor, the glass frames shattered. "Allie! Kristi! It's happening again!" she yelled. The sound of quick footfalls soon followed. "What did you say, Am?" Kristi asked. Amber whirled around. "It's happening again! Glass shattering. Pictures falling off the wall. It keeps happening!" Kristi Webb looked around. Amber was right. Every picture that had been on the walls were now lying on the floor. Allie Sullivan(see! Changed the last name!) walked toward the mess. "Why does this keep happening?" she asked to no one in particular. "Oh well. Everybody grab a broom and dust pan. Let's get this mess cleaned up." Her two friends nodded.

When Amber, Kristi, and Allie had graduated from Hemery High and all got accepted to UCLA, they had been thrilled. Their second year into college, the three decided to buy the beach house and move in together. They never thought something like this would happen. And it wasn't just pictures falling off the walls. Windows broke, furniture turned over, lights flickered on and off and it all happened with no reasonable explanation. It started out normal though. Things were quiet and the only sound when they first walked in was the echo of their footfalls and voices. That all changed after they settled in. It started small. Things would disappear without an explanation and show up in an entirely place than before. The three friends had at first started accusing each other of taking the items and often fought about it, but it always blew over. Then the really weird stuff started happening. All three of them claimed to hear voices, angry ones and scared ones. They often heard strange noises like someone was walking or dragging something through rooms and hallways, but whenever they went to check, there was never anything there. Then one day when they all came home from classes, they came to see that their house had been trashed. All the furniture had been turned over, knickknacks and pictures had were shattered all over the floor, cups, plates and bowls were thrown through the kitchen and all the cupboards and drawers through out the house were open, their contents strewn everywhere.

"We've been robbed!" Kristi had yelled. After going through the entire house, they discovered that nothing was missing. They still ruled out robbery or possibly vandalism. But the more things that happened, the more confused and scared they got. Then the strangest thing that the three of them ever saw happened. It was late and Amber was still awake. She came out of the living room and went towards her room when she stopped dead in her tracks. There was a man dressed like a gangster standing in the hall. It wasn't the fact that she had never seen this man before that scared her. No. The thing that scared her was the fact that this man was transparent. She had stood in fear, unable to talk, until the names of her roommates escaped her mouth. Allie and Kristi had opened their bedroom doors and gasped at what they had seen. The man had stood there, staring at all three of them. Then his face turned into an expression of pure rage. "WHAT ARE YOU THREE DOING HERE?!" he had yelled. "THIS IS MY HOME! YOU STAY HERE AND YOU WILL DIE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!" And with that he disappeared.

Amber, Allie and Kristi had run to each other and ran into the living room. They didn't sleep for the rest of the night. Or week for that matter, Allie thought. Kris and Am keep trying to deny what they saw. They don't believe in that stuff. But what else could it be besides for a ghost? She didn't wanna bring the subjects of ghosts up. The three of them had got into a fight last time she did. But what other explanation was there? How do you explain what they saw? Trick of light? Mirrors? As much as she regretted it, Allie turned to her friends.

"Uh, guys," she said. They turned toward her and suddenly she felt like kicking herself. Man, I never should have said anything. "Uh, look. I know you guys don't really believe in this sort of stuff, but don't you think that that guy we saw the other night could have been a ghost?" Amber and Kristi rolled their eyes. "Oh come on guys. How else do you explain what we saw?" Kristi scooped up some glass and dumped it in a trash bag. "Allie. I love you, you are one of my best friends, but come on. Ghosts? It was just a guy." Allie smirked. "Yeah, a guy. A guy who was TRANSPARENT! Doesn't that even phase you a little?" Kristi rolled her dark brown eyes again. "It phases me," Amber said softly. They turned to look at her. "It phases me a lot. It scares me. I mean, yeah, okay, ghosts. Hard to believe that they're real. But this is L.A. A lot of weird stuff happens here. There are freaky things out there that we've heard about that goes on here. The deaths and attacks. And all three of us know that they are anything but normal. No one can explain them. So, yeah, unbelievable, but….what else could it be?" The three of them sat in silence. Kristi stood up. "Okay. So it's a ghost. A bad one, obviously. He wants us to either leave or kill us. So I guess either way, he wins," she said. Amber plopped down on the couch. "Too bad we just can't exorcise him or whatever that priest did on 'The Exorcist'".

Allie brightened. Kristi and Amber looked at her. "Uh, guys. I think I just might know the right person for the job." Kristi and Amber exchanged glances. "Who?" they asked in unison. Allie got up. "Pack your bags roomies. We're going to a little town called Sunnydale."
