Chapter 2
AN: Not a very eventful chapter sorry, I am still establishing the story and chapter 3 is nearly complete so just hold on. Also I didn't note this in the last chapter but this story indicates that the events of season 4 and some of three, of Angel, did not occur ~
Jade opened the front door to the house and took her jacket off hanging it up on the coat rack. She headed straight up to her room, not being in the mood to listen to her mother try and talk to her like they had something to talk about.
Halfway up the stairs Jade thought she had made it home free but her mothers greeting voice couldn't help but interrupt her.
"Hi honey!"
"Hey Mom," Jade replied at a stop half turning to engage her mother for what would hopefully be a brief conversation. "How was work?"
"Uh. fine I guess," her Mother said, presumably tired from long shift at the hospital. "How's your day been?"
"You know same old." Jade wasn't in the mood to talk about things with her Mom so she started to make a quick escape by saying she was tired from slaying and wanted to just have a shower and go to bed.
Finally escaping up into her room Jade lay on the bed staring up at the ceiling thinking about Spike and Angel, both of them played such important parts in her life and she really didn't know what she would do if they weren't in her life. She had friends at school, though not many, but none of them were as important to her as Spike and Angel were.
Jade just lay there for a while, staring at the ceiling and taking in the sweet silence of midnight in Sunnydale once the Vampires had been laid to rest, either by the slayer or lack of human prey. This was the brief time everyday that a mild peace inhabited the city, until the sun next set when the creatures would arise again. During the day of course people could walk around safely but the small town wasn't really peaceful
That was her life and for entire life that's all it would be, death was the only way out of her slayer duties.

Spike arrived home a short time after Jade and arrived to find neither Jade nor Dawn so he headed down to the basement where he had been staying for years now, ever since Dawn's husband had left.
Spike had a small television, which he turned on having a brief flick through the channel before drifting off. As usual there was a load of crap on each channel - causing Spike to have a flick through the newspaper of the day. Missing people, a lot of them Spike knew this thing happened often in Sunnydale but he couldn't help thinking of what the vampire had said earlier: "you cannot save her vampire, she will be ours." Someone was turning humans into vampires, building a force. But that vampire was no ordinary vampire. something was happening.
~#^*()*^#~
"Let go of me!" The vampire flung its limbs wildly trying to escape from its brethrens' grip. The other vampire held it tightly as the shaman chanted something in Latin, only causing further outbreak from the vampire, it revealed its true face with intense anger hissing and screaming in pain.
The shaman lifted its eyes from the ground forcing the dark red mist up from the small cauldron, which lay on the dirty concrete floor of the small warehouse. The vampire continued to shriek fiercely as the red mist sifted into it. The red mist had now invaded the creature's body causing it to shake more ferociously than before. It freed itself from the other vampires' grip and thrashed about madly on the floor, it was having some sort of seizure as its eyes turned the sickly red of the invading mist.
The shaman stood from his position near the small cauldron and waked closer to the seizing vampire, he knelt beside it and gripped its face in his hand. The shaman chanted something and the vampire began to calm down as its eyes cooled to their usual color.
"Excellent work," a shadow called from the corner of the room. "At this rate we'll have an army next week."

Heavy music blasted through the Summers' house causing Jade to shoot up in her bed, she looked at her alarm clock furiously seeing she only had a half an hour before school. She rubbed her ears annoyed from the noise coming from downstairs, she recognized one of her CDs had been stolen while she was still asleep; her favorite Slayer album (Dibalous in Musica) being blasted to her mother's undoubted fury.
Jade pulled her legs over the side of the bed, pulling them out from under the sheets. She was wearing full pajamas but she liked to be fully dressed for the day before she went downstairs, though it would only be her mother and Spike, she'd prefer to have her hair and make up done.
Her closet door swung open easily, after quick shower, she picked out her outfit for the day. A red skirt down to her knees, a plain long sleeved black top, she wore her dark brown hair down just past her shoulders, her green streaks showing.
Jade descended the stairs in her boots and turned into the kitchen where she saw Spike eating breakfast with the music blasting loudly, Jade crept up behind Spike where the CD player sat beside him and slammed her hand down on the stop button. Spike looked up at her in annoyance.
"Okay I know this may come as a shock to you but I don't like to share," Jade pulled up a stool and sat down beside Spike for a lecture. "Do not creep into my room while I am asleep and steal my CDs. Especially not this one, it's one of my favorites."
Spike looked at Jade with a hint of humor in a hidden smirk, Jade replied with a smack in the head as she walked to the fridge and pulled out some milk to make herself some coffee before school.
"Funny isn't it," Spike asked with a smile.
"What?" Jade looked up from her coffee.
"That The Slayer would listen to a thrash band of the same name," he smiled to her. "Kind of ironic."
"Do you have some sort of point to back that up or are you just making small talk?" Jade asked shoving the milk back in the fridge and taking another sip of here coffee. "So where's my mother?"
Spike looked around the room spotting her nowhere and shrugged as Jade walked upstairs to see if her mother was in her bedroom.
Jade knocked on her mother's closed door waiting for a response, Jade slowly turned the handle in her tight grip and pushed the door open slowly peeking in to see nothing of her mother. Jade entered the room cautiously now slightly worried; she looked at her mother desk to see an opened envelope lying next to her mother's letter opener. Jade walked to the desk and picked the empty envelope up into her hands looking at some sort of evidence as to who it was from but there was none.
Just as Jade began to turn away she noticed someone was watching her from the other side of them room, Jade felt uncomfortable with these eyes so fixed on her. Jade searched for a weapon instantly grabbing her mother's letter opener, Jade quickly flipped backwards and span to face the person watching her to see nothing. This came as a great shock as Jade had been s convinced that someone, or something, was watching her.
Jade began to stand and she once again felt the presence in the room she scanned the area in front of her and so nothing so she quickly turned only to be knocked down with great force. Jade leapt to her feet and looked at a figure running into her mother's bathroom.
Jade picked up her mother's letter opener and followed her attacker into her mother bathroom seeing some sort of figure sliding through the small window. Jade stopped briefly and proceeded to the window. She looked out into her yard seeing nothing until a large black and slimy hand reached forward grabbing her shirt and pulling her out her mother's bathroom window.
~#^*()*^#~
Spike sat in the silence of the kitchen as he finished his breakfast of blood and cereal, he was wondering why Jade had been so worried about Dawn, she could definitely take care of herself and what was going to happen in the morning, nothing evil was awake.
Suddenly Spike's thoughts cam crashing out the sound of a large thud from outside the house, in the backyard. Spike jumped to his feet and ran to the window looking outside to see Jade fighting some sort of black slimy demon, which seemed unusually fast. Spike ran towards the back door and pushed open running into the scolding sunlight. Spike felt his skin burning as he lurched back into the doorway in great pain, he tripped over his own feet and watched Jade's fist collide with the creature's face as it used it's immense speed to gain the upper hand and grab her form behind.
Jade was held tightly by the black demon, its physique was humanoid, though its speed was something great, it held her tightly as if trying to pull her off balance, Jade instantly launched her elbow into the creature's side as it grunted quietly and attempted to re-establish its weakened grip. Jade stop her boot's heel into the creature's foot and pulled forward trying to escape the creature's grip. Jade was released with great ease and as she leaped forward she turned back to see an arrow lodged firmly in the dying creature's skull.
Jade caught her breath and turned to Spike who watched with a relieved expression from the back-doorway. Jade walked towards Spike then stopped realizing something, her mother wasn't in the house, if she was she would have come out at the noise, she was gone without a word or any explanation.
That's really weird.
