(Ok I know last chapter was a little boring sorry but I had a bad writer's block and couldn't come up with anything.)
Buffy's POV
We were waiting at Giles's new apartment for Rain to show up. Willow and Xander were on the computer. Angel, Giles, and I sat in silence.
"Do you think she knows?" Angel broke the silence.
"Knows what?" I looked curiously at him.
"That I'm a vampire."
"I don't know did she say anything?"
"No but she also didn't act scared when I walked with her home."
"Well you should tell her so if you ever vamp out she won't be surprised especially since she's going to L.A." Giles stood up and grabbed a book.
"What!?" We all said in unison.
"What's wrong?" Giles flipped through some pages.
"She's going where?" Willow asked.
"L.A. her dad is going to be transferred."
"You know this how?"
"Well her dad works with a friend of mine."
"So why am I training her?"
"Well Rain is one of those girls who likes to pass on what she knows to other people."
"So?" Angel said.
"Well hopefully she'll pass on some of this stuff to her best friend Mallory and you'll only have to do half of the training for Mallory."
"Why don't I train them at the same time?"
"Because Mallory can wait you need to train Rain before she moves."
"Why what's the use?"
"She'll be working with Angel." Giles put the book away.
"Wait why don't I just train her?" Angel asked.
"No offense but Buffy is probably the best trainer for her right now."
"Does Rain know she's moving?" Xander looked from Angel to me.
"No she doesn't and you can't say anything."
There was a knock on the door. "You have to tell her before you go to L.A." I looked at Angel and went to the door. Rain smiled and walked inside.
"Why not now?" Xander looked at Angel.
"Why not now what?" Rain looked confused.
"Angel has something to tell you." I walked back over to the couch.
"Ok what is it Angel?"
"I'm...a...um.... Vampire."
"You're kidding right? This is a joke?"
"No we're not." Giles laid his hand on her shoulder.
"Ok...let me take all this in."
"Take what all in?" Willow asked still looking at the computer.
"Nothing I'll tell you later." Rain sighed. "Can we begin training?"
"Sure well one important thing to know how to do is study."
"Study? You got to be kidding me!" Rain head went down.
I taught her some basics till 9 o'clock. She had to go home so she could sleep.
"Well see you later." Rain and Xander were walking out.
"Tomorrow we're going patrolling." I said and waved to her.
Xander's POV
A small groan came from Rain. I laughed but I kind of felt sorry for her she was only 14 and she was having weight put on her that Buffy didn't have until she was 16.
"Was Buffy this tired on her first day?" She said as we got in my car.
"Well you got to remember that Buffy was 16 when she started. She was a lot stronger and taller."
"Xander I'm almost 5'6 and I'm almost as strong as my 15 year old brother. I think I can manage." We gave a little laugh.
"So what were you talking about earlier?"
"When?"
"When you first came over?"
"O, I'm moving in a month."
"Where too?" I already knew the answer.
"L.A."
"O, that's where Angel lives."
"Really? That whole vampire thing still creeps me out."
"Well you're going to be working with him and his crew."
"What?! Really! That's so exciting."
"Yeah I don't know if his son might be as excited as you."
"Not many guys are." I heard her mumble.
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"I'm one of the guys you wanna know what my nickname is?"
"What?"
"Ray."
"Ray? Why?"
"Because it's sounds like Rain."
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok I'll grow up alone. Why couldn't my mom name me like Faith or Winter?"
"What would you like your name to be?"
"Gabriel. Gabby for short."
"That's pretty."
"Yeah it is." She gave a sad sigh.
"What's wrong?"
"Well see I like this guy named Bradley and he is one of the only guys who call me Rain but he likes some other girl name Katherine."
"How do you know?"
"He told me so. I'm his best 'girlfriend'."
"Well I'm sure Conner will warm up to you."
"His name is Conner?" She raised her eyebrow.
"Yeah why?"
"No reason."
"Ok well we're here I'll see you later." She opened the door.
"See you later Xander." She closed the door and ran to her door.
Rain's POV
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" I set my keys on the counter and flicked on the kitchen light.
"Rain!" Justin yelled from upstairs.
"Yeah?!"
"Come here!"
I walked upstairs into Justin's room. "What?" I popped my head in.
"They're out and so is Rick with Jamie."
"Ok well goodnight love you."
"Love you to Rain." I walked into my room and plopped my backpack onto the floor. I walked over to my window and looked out and down the street. I saw someone walking towards the commentary. He looked drunk and there was a girl following. He stumbled and hit the ground. She just stood above him body. I ran down the stairs and opened our front door slowly. I leaned against our porch railing.
"Tyler get your drunk ass up!" She kicked his side.
He rolled over and staggered to stand but finally did it was some help from her. "You dumb ass bitch." He slapped her.
"That's it I'm going home!" She started stomping off to where they had come from.
"Whatever be a bitch!" She passed my house. I watched her go to the end of the street and disappear. I turned back to the guy who was stumbling. He looked up at our house. I started to go back inside scared he had spotted me. "Hey you!" I turned around to see him walking/stumbling over to our house.
"Yes?" I asked kindly.
"That girl was a major bitch wasn't she?" He asked standing on our lawn.
"Yeah I guess." I grabbed for our door handle.
"What? I'm not going to hurt you."
"No I'm just tired."
"Ok well I need a favor. As you can see I'm a little..." He stood there trying to think.
"Drunk?"
"Yeah that's it. I need to know how to get to my house from here."
"Ok where do you live?"
"245 Gross Lane."
"Ok well that's about 5 blocks from here."
"Damn that's far away."
"Yeah well get home safely." I opened the screen door.
"Well that's a little hard. Do you have a ride?"
"No I'm only 14."
"Really? You look a lot older. Is anyone home with you?"
"Yeah my brothers."
"How old?"
"16,17, 18, and 15."
"Well one of them must have a car."
"Yeah but I don't know."
"O, come on I'm just drunk not a killer."
"Hang on let me check." I ran upstairs to James's room. I knocked. No answer. "James?"
Ryan walked out into the hall. "He's not here he's out with Leigh."
"Ok is Justin still awake?"
"Yeah why?"
"I need a favor." I walked into Justin/Ryan's room.
"Hey Rain I thought you was going to bed." He was doing homework.
"Yeah well I need a favor."
"Ok well what is it?"
I pulled his arm and took him downstairs explaining on the way. We walked outside and Tyler was now on our steps.
"Hello?"
He turned around sleepily. "O, you're back."
"My name is Justin this is Rain."
"My name is Tyler Grant."
"Ok well what do you need?"
"A ride home."
"Ok I'll take you I got to get my keys." We walked back inside.
"Can I come?"
"Sure." He said and smiled.
We walked outside and to his car. Tyler sat in the back. "It's 245 Gross Lane."
"Ok well we'll be there in like 2 or 3 minutes." Justin started the car.
We were listening to Usher.
This is what you do
This is what you do
This is what you do
You make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship with you
This is what you do
Think about her and the things that come along with
You make me
You make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship with you
This is what you do
Think about her and the things that come along with

Before anything came between us
You were like my best friend
The one I used to run to when me and my
girl was having problems (that's right)
You used to say it would be okay
suggest little nice things I should do
And when I come home at night and lay my head down
all I seem to think about is you
And how you make me wanna
Justin turned it down when we reached Tyler's driveway. "Thank you man I owe you."
"No problem next time don't get drunk."
"That's funny." Tyler gave a laugh and got out of the car.
He stumbled up to his door. Justin and I looked at each other as he pulled out of the driveway and laughed. "I would hate to be him when his parents see him." I gave laugh.
"Parents!" Justin looked at the clock.
"Mom going to kill us."
"Yep and she sure won't believe our story."
"Maybe we'll make it before she gets there."
"They're car isn't here." Justin whispered.
We ran up the steps and into the house. I don't remember turning the lights off down here. Maybe Ryan did. I heard footsteps on the stairs. I ran to the kitchen switch and turned on the light. I was too late Ryan had already knocked Justin out.
"Justin!" Ryan looked at from Justin motionless body to me.
I ran over to Justin and started to shake him. He couldn't be knocking out that bad Ryan only hit him with a book. I looked at the book Ryan was holding. 'Vampires and Demons'. Wait that's my book what is he doing going through my stuff! I grabbed the book from Ryan I wasn't going to yell at him because I was worried about Justin.
"Go get some water!" Ryan ran to the sink and came back and poured the water on Justin's face.
"Hey! What the heck?!" Justin wiped the water from his face.
"Yeah what the heck?" I looked at Ryan.
"Sorry I was reading your book and you guys freaked me out."
"What were you doing in my stuff?!"
"I wanted to see what it was all about." He walked upstairs.
(What did you think? I hope it was long enough for you. Please Review!)
