Chapter 2: Dear Mama

"How can you possibly be a Slayer too? Faith's not dead and I'm not either so who told you that and why are you lying about it?" Buffy asked, being tired faded from her and she was now ready to fight over what was happening.

"Who is Faith? Anyway that doesn't really matter, something big and deadly is about to happen in this town and we can here to stop it and it just so happened this was where the middle Slayer was. Okay so yeah you two are looking at me like I am insane, I am a lot of things but crazy isn't one of them, okay blondie?" Charlize looked around without moving much. "Look I'm not here to judge but why the hell do you have teenage girls all over the place?" She asked.

"They are all potentials, Slayers, the First Evil is trying to kill them all and then he was going to kill Faith and myself so that there would be no more Slayers." Buffy explained.

"Oh, okay so that's why those creepy ass guys with no eyes tried to kill me, okay then so what the fuck is the First, sounds gay to me." Charlize laughed.

"What is your problem? This is serious, I don't care who you say you are but you're probably a manifestation of the First. You probably came here pretending to be a Slayer to trick me into trusting you." Buffy said as Charlize and her friend looked strangely at the blonde Slayer.

"Um Buffy as right as you could be you aren't. She is holding hands with her friend and the first is incorporeal and it can't touch people." The redhead pointed out. "I'm Willow by the way." She added. "Um, anyway the First is well basically the First of all evil, it created Evil. Now it has decided to try to make the world that way all over, we think. We don't really know what it wants to do." Willow explained to their visitors.

"So you are telling me its Satan?" Charlize asked as she looked at her friend.

"Well not necessarily Charlize…" Buffy began.

"Call me Charli, oh yeah and by the way this is Earl."

"Call me X," He said in a rough voice.

"Look Buffy I don't care if you really believe me or not but I know what I am and I accepted it, but we are here to help you stop this motherfu…" Charli began, but she was cut off by Buffy.

"Dawn why are you awake this late?" Buffy asked as she turned around to see a tall young girl with long brown hair.

"I heard noises, outside." Dawn explained to her big sister. Charlize turned around and opened the front door and walked outside followed by X.

"Allow me," She smiled at Buffy who was looking a little worried. Charlize drew her sword from her long leather coat and then looked around the Summers residence. Buffy followed her because she didn't trust this stranger just yet but somehow Buffy knew that it was okay and that this girl really was in Sunnydale to help. She couldn't help but wonder if she was wrong, she also felt familiar, Buffy was almost sure she had never met her before but she seemed to have a familiar feeling about her. Charlize stepped around the corner to see a tall white man with bleached, slicked back, hair. He had high slender cheekbones, very blue eyes and he wore a black t-shirt, black pants and a long leather jacket. "Oh my God it is a vampire everybody run for your life!" Charlize said sarcastically as she resheathed her sword. "You never scared me Spike I don't know what you are trying to do… I smelled the soul when I drove past that freaky ass high school." Charlize told him.

"You know him?" Buffy asked, astonished.

"You could say that… We used to fight…vampires and shit you know that is the way we were." Charli explained.

"Were." Spike said as he looked into her bright yet icy blue eyes. "Oh by the way Buffy I killed three bringers on the back porch, thought you might appreciate it." Spike smirked.

"Let's get back in the house…"Buffy began.

"Don't say where it is safe because it obviously isn't." Spike replied. "Especially since you let her it, are you letting anyone in these days?" Spike asked Buffy as they all walked inside the house.

"Spike, she said that she is here to help." Buffy retorted as she lead them all into the kitchen, which was the only room in the house where no one was sleeping other than the bathrooms.

"What do you mean said? I am." Charli said with a rude tone in her voice. "If you don't want our help killing this motherfucka then we'll leave and you all can get your asses all killed."

Her friend looked at her silently but she could tell what he was saying with his eyes, "Sorry, but you claim to be a Slayer, so you can fight a little but that doesn't mean that you were chosen." Buffy told Charli.

"Believe me or not I am what I am and I was born that way, so whatever I just don't want the world to end just yet." Charli smiled evilly as she looked at X. "I have more shit to do before I want this all to end." She continued.

"Willow, Spike, can I talk to you alone?" Buffy asked as they followed her into the stairs, leaving Dawn alone with Charli and X.  They stood in silence as Charli's supernatural hearing listened to Buffy talking to Willow and Spike. "I don't trust her, how on earth could she be the Slayer I mean would Giles have known about it and told us. How did she find out who we are? Spike you seem to know her what is her deal?" Buffy asked. Dawn and X couldn't hear Buffy but Charli just smiled as she listened to Spike talk.

"A long time ago, she… when I was still evil we fought together, she and Dru hated each other because of someone that Dru killed. It was her fiancé, some rapper, he was also her watcher. Anyway we met about 100 years after I was sired…" Spike began,

"What?" Buffy and Willow asked in unison,

"Her mother was a vampire, her father was an immortal but not a vampire. He is still alive actually, he's Italian, and her mother was black. Her father also had 2 other children, only 1 with Charli's mother the other was with, Joyce." Spike explained.
