She woke up, the moonlight on her face, her dark curly hair going down her shoulder. Another night, she was waiting for him to come back, for more then 18 years. A growl came out of mouth when she see the shadow of one of the vampire she recently sired, she had done that a lot lately, turning human into vamps. " Master, we didn't find Spike, but one of the vampire who was working for Gilles, said he's been kill, Xander is his executor". She felt a hole in her chest and she yelled in rage. The she calmed herself and smile. " Well I don't see the problem, we just have to bring him back, I have the spell here, nothing really hard, I just need something that belong to him and the blood of the slayer". "You mean Erin? Ma'am?" "No, I mean Buffy Summers, I want him to suffer before Spike kill him". Then she smirked. She remember the place before she'd been sired by him. It was vampire free, no demon nor evil of any kind. Hit was so peaceful that she tough sometime was wrong, but no, it was impossible to find any of them. It was a pure country, free of evil. . Then William, like she called him, had sired her here, after making love to her, and they did afterwards anyway. And now, she had minions, a couple dozen all over the country. Then another vampire came, badly injured, half of his face missing, holding a tall and skinny human. He was average looking, wearing a leather coat and leather pants. "Mistress, as you order we find the one who was responsible for the death of our kind in British-Colombia and he managed to kill almost everyone who was sent after him to bring him back here my queen, Resder suspect his a half vampire". She smiled at the human then turn her gaze back to the vampire. " Bring him to the room, I'll see to that" she answered before going back to the room in question.

"Master, the coat as been stole" said an half demon "and they didn't take anything else, not even the Dark Shadow Book, and . . .." "Enough, you mean Spike coat, it's not a big lost, and you should know by now that nobody can touch this book, except for my dear and that witch who's working for the council." "But the coat also belong to Angel, didn't it?" The vampire look at him, his low rank comrade shivered from the look his master gave him and he slowly walked away from the room. Alexander grin, he's plan to have the slayer dead was working perfectly. He knew that he should catch her instead, but it would be a lot less complicated to catch a new one, less experimented and less dangerous. But the real plan, know only by him and his tender half, was to turn Willow Rosenberg into one of his kind, then, nobody could safe them, not even an army of slayer.

The bell rang , annoncing the end of class, everyone was as cherfull then usual, exept maybe for Dawn, since she knew everything she had to, she couldn't help herself but hating this town, and her close familly as well. How could they hide that from her, she was as good as Buffy , who was apparently a slayer. She was also stronguer then her, not by much, but it was better then nothing wasn't it? She open her locker and trew her book in it, and slam the door so hard that everyone look at her. Then she saw Xander, and walk to him. He smiled when he saw her . '' Hey Dawn, what's going on?'' Her almost happy expression, from when she saw him coming, vanished. " Like if you didn't know, the vampires and demon are not just a product of our imagination, it's like nothing I belive was just fiction his still fiction. My mom is a witch, my dad a werewolf, so what is that making me? A witchwolf?" Xander just look at her, still smiling. "And you decide to take on a defensless locker door?", she look at him incredously, then she couldn't help herself, she burst out laughing, Xander look confuse for two seconde and finally decide she was totaly insane. She became more serious and look in his eyes. " Sorry I guess my nerve just flinched, but . . . how do you do?" she said, " Do what?" reply the teenage boy. "That, being so . . . unchange, even after all our parent hide to us, and hit take an attack of vampire to make us realised something was wrong, don't you get it? We could have die that night if hit hadn't be for. . ." "For you, interupted Xander, you save my life and I have the feeling it's not the last time. And I did change, it's just you can't see it, I know what I know, and am what I am, there is no shame nor pride for that, hell, I didn't know my dad until then, you know? So i did change but not for me, but for the people who are going to need me." Dawn look at him puzzled, then she saw the change in is eyes, like if he was ready, for something, yhen she felt ashamed, he would get his ass kick in no time, if he was trying to do it by himself, she had to fight, just to protect him, and the one he was probably going to get hurt to defend. "See? you just realised something, and . . . I know I shouldn't be interfering in that but don't be mad at you're mom, it's just . . . we weren't ready for the truth yet, and it take that to make us ready." He was just standing there, serious, for the first time in so long then Dawn couldn't remember it. She smiled at him and say: "Want to sleep over tonight ? Mom and dad aren't here for the week- end so we can watch t.v. later then usual . . ." " You mean until eleven o'clock in the morning?" "Yes exactly" "Count me in" Then he just walked away to his drawing class, not as a student, but as the teacher. Without knowing why, she felt her chest itching. She turn away and get back to her home, she had apologies to make.

Xander was going to be here. She knew it, after all, why would he missed their rendezvous? He had swear that he was going to come after the class, to help her with something, he didn't know what and she was glad with that, because otherwise he might have not come. Her blue hairs were shorter then that Rosenberg girl, his friend, but she still look feminine enough to attract every asshole to her. She sighed, the only guy she ever felt something for, didn't even know she exist. She look at the cloak, he should have been here ten minutes ago. She let go some comment about how punctual he was supposed to be. She gets up and took her leather jacket of the back of the chair and put it on. She was one of the rebel kids in the school, and if she didn't skip every class, it was because Xander was in every one of them. He was the nicest kid in town and she knew that she loved him, but she didn't know why, maybe because of the puppy look he had every time he look at someone. But she didn't want to think about it, the only important thing was, Xander and her were going to spend time together. She smiled to herself it was about time, she get the guts to talk to him. Then she heard someone yelled. Without knowing why she was running to the location, she saw a guy trying to hurt a small kid. Her heart beat only once before she reaches the aggressor. She pushes him away from the kid, who was bleeding. She turned her attention back to the attacker. His face seemed to get a disease of some sort, and his teeth were sharper then usual. The sick guy attacks her, trying to punch her in the face. She moves out of the way and kicks him in the face. A bestial growl came out of his mouth and he tries to bite her, but she wasn't born in Sunnydale without learning a few things. She pulled the head down and give him a hit him with her knee. The man back off before he charge again, this time he didn't miss her, she felt the shot hard enough to make her lose her balance. The strange guy grin and punch her again, this time she fell, hurting her shoulder. She try to stand up but the vampire kick her in the ribs then in the stomach. Black spot dancing before her eyes. Tehn she heard something else, fighting noise. She look up and see a woman, in her early forty, in reakky good shape, fighting against the strange guys. She take a stake out of her jacket ant it the guy in the chest, he turned into dust before her. "What's your name" asked the elder woman. "Nelsy Robertson, what in the hell was that?" " Nelsy you should come with me, I think we have thing to talk about." "But first who are you?". The blond woman smiled and said: "Buffy Summers."
