Chapter 3:
Rivalries Begin
Xander's car pulled up in front of the house. A cramped Buffy, Willow, Dawn, Amy, Xander and Kennedy got out of the small car. As they neared the house Buffy could hear music blaring from the stereo inside. She looked of the see the look on Amy's face, she looked happy. Buffy thought it must have been one of her songs and it was.
now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
and you still won't hear me
don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
maybe I'll wake up for once
not tormented daily defeated by you
just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm dying again
(Lyric source was www.evanescence.com)
As Buffy listened to the song a different feeling came over her then earlier. If she had heard that song before she would have probably liked it but now she hated it. 'Oh what a drama queen, she sings about misery when she doesn't know anything about misery,' Buffy thought. She looked over at Amy a surge of hate overcame her. This girl thinks she's so special because computers could maker her voice sound nice and because she probably has money and millions of people want to meet her. And what did she Buffy the Vampire Slayer who protected the world from evil everyday and no knew or cared. She could be a celebrity if people knew what she did.
As Amy looked at Buffy a feeling of resentment also came over her. Just because Buffy had superpowers and killed a demon or two here or there didn't mean she was better then everyone. Buffy was an attention hogger who needed everything to go her way.
Xander got Amy's stuff out of the trunk and they began to walk towards the house. This was when nerves overcame her. She stopped in her tracks and just stared at the house.
"I don't want to go in there."
"Don't be stupid," Buffy sighed, "why don't you want to go in there? Do you think the big bad house is going to eat you?"
Amy looked at Buffy as if she was an idiot. "You heard they're all listening to my CD. The minute I go in there they'll swamp me. I don't know if can take that tonight. Not after everything I've been through."
Buffy secretly rolled her eyes and then turned around to face the others.
"Well I don't know what to tell ya. If you wanna sleep here tonight, which you're going to have to do, there's no where for you to sleep alone or to even get in unnoticed."
"You could call everyone downstairs for some kind of meeting and we could sneak her in through the back door and upstairs," Dawn suggested.
"And put her where exactly. There are people in every room."
"Why don't you call everyone down and say there's a new potential but don't be specific. Then we can make Amy a bed upstairs. Tell everyone she's tired and not to be disturbed. You can sleep with the covers over you head, right Amy?" Dawn asked directing the question to Amy.
She just nodded and looked at the house with a terrified look on her face. Buffy just sighed and agreed to the plan. She was very close to telling everyone who Amy really was but she was tired and she figured if the girls knew no one would get any sleep that night.
"Okay, here goes nothing," Buffy said as she started towards the house.
Dawn lead Amy around to the back as everyone else walked to the front. Dawn opened the back door and told Amy to wait in the kitchen as she went to check to see if anyone had come in. Amy just nodded and stood there when someone crept out of the shadows outside and stared into the house. He saw the girl and something about her intrigued him. He walked in through the back door and scared the girl.
"Who are you?" Amy asked in a scared voice and she started to back towards the room everyone was in.
"And hello to you too," the man said in a British accent. "I'm Spike," he said as he lit a cigarette, "and you would be."
"Amy," she replied slowly. She looked him over and decided he was safe enough, and he did look kind of cool.
"You another one of those potential brats?"
Amy just nodded and gave him a tired look.
"You look kind of old to be a potential," he pointed out.
"Yea I know, that's what everyone keeps telling me and I wish they would just shut up, ya know!" Amy exclaimed surprising herself and Spike at the anger she just expressed.
"You'll be great friends with Faith," Spike said as he chuckled. Amy wondered what was so funny about that but just let it go.
"You know you remind me of someone," Spike said, as he looked Amy over.
"Yea I know, I'm part of the group Evanescence, you know that famous band and all that."
"Sorry never heard of you," Spike answered back, "nope, you look like my ex-lover, pretty bird, her name's Drusilla, she's a little crazy though you know."
"You mean you've never heard of me?" Amy asked in a surprised voice, there weren't many people that had never heard of her.
"I don't really listen to modern music you know considering I'm well over a hundred years older than the lot of you."
Amy laughed at this thinking he was joking until she saw the serious look on his face. "Are you serious? How's that possible? What are you?"
"I get asked that question a lot. I'm a vampire," Spike was about to explain how he had a soul when Amy screamed. Buffy ran into the kitchen followed by every other potential.
"Spike, what did you do to her?" Buffy asked, not really worried though because she wouldn't have minded if Spike had hurt her a little.
"I didn't do anything she just screamed when I told her I was a vampire."
Buffy sighed an annoyed sigh. She started to talk to Amy as if she was a five year old, "Spike's a good vampire, he has a soul and soul equals good, understand?"
Amy nodded and turned to Spike, "Sorry, didn't know you had a soul."
"Well you didn't let me get to that part. I'm going to go now and make sure there's no big bad out there."
Buffy called out after him (for the purpose of my story the part of the episode already happened when her and Spike "bond" but remember this story is placed before everyone actually kicks her out) "Wait, aren't you going to say Spike?" her voice almost pleading.
"Sorry pet, can't tonight," he called out as he walked away. Buffy just sighed as he closed the door after him and she turned to talk to all the potentials.
"Everyone go to sleep now, the show's over," Buffy said as she moved everyone towards the stairs. No one had noticed who Amy was and they just walked past her. Dawn quickly pulled her aside before anyone could get a good look at her and led her up the stairs before everyone else and quickly made a bed for her in her room. Amy quickly changed and got into bed right when the other girls barged in the room. Dawn motioned for them to be quiet and their voiced dropped to a whisper but Amy could still here what the girls were saying.
"Did you know Evanescence had three CD's before Fallen?" one over the girls asked.
Most of the girls seemed shocked. "I thought they only had one other CD what was it called Origin or something."
"Yea that's what I thought to," the first girl spoke again, "but I checked it out on the Internet today on Willow's laptop. They had two other CD's called EP and Whisper EP. Only 100 made of EP and 50 made of Whisper EP. I downloaded them and made the CD's. I'll make you guys copies in the morning."
The girls all agreed in exited voices. They all loved Evanescence. When Amy heard that they were downloading her songs anger filled her at first. When someone downloaded a CD she didn't get any money but then she thought it wouldn't hurt if they downloaded her first CD's considering they weren't sold in stores anymore. A few minutes later she drifted off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
When Amy woke up she could here the other girls training outside. She got up and noticed all the other bed's had been made and she was the only one in the room. She got up and watched the girls from the bedroom mirror. After watching them for about five minutes she got dressed and went downstairs where she found Dawn watching TV.
"Hey!" Dawn greeted, "we were wondering when you'd wake up but we didn't want to wake you up, figured you had a long night."
"Thanks," Amy said, "anywhere I can get some food from?"
"Hey sure, I'll show you but there probably isn't much left," Dawn said as she led Amy into the kitchen. "We have some cereal and I guess you could make yourself something. The bowls and plates are here, pots and pans here, and forks and spoons and stuff here, everything else is pretty much easy to find," Dawn explained as she pointed to where everything was.
Amy just nodded and poured herself some cereal and sat there eating it while watching the other girls train. What they were doing seemed really hard and she didn't think she could do what they were doing. Maybe she could just watch and sing them songs to pep them up she thought. She had finished her cereal and was putting her bowl in the sink when Spike ran in with a blanket on.
"Watch it," Amy yelled when he almost crashed into her.
"Sorry, I'm just not a big fan of burning up in the sun you know."
Amy just gave him a confused look. "Vampire remember? Can't go in the sun or I'll burn up."
"Oh," Amy just said. She was learning something new everyday. "What are you doing here anyway?"
"Oh you know I'm here to support the gang and well to see Buffy."
"Are you two close?" Amy asked.
"Yea I guess you could say that,"
"Oh," was all Amy said again as she tried to hide the disappointment in her voice. "I guess you want to go find her then."
"No that's okay, I can stick around here. I don't have to be with Buffy all the time."
Amy smiled and they began to talk. Twenty minutes later Buffy walked in and noticed how comfortable they were and she became furious. Did this girl have to have everything? The attention and now her boy- Buffy stopped herself before she thought that. He's not my boyfriend she repeated over and over again in her head. So what if they're talking, it doesn't matter. I have to break them up.
"Hey Spike," Buffy said quickly and turned towards Amy, "you have to come out here and train with the girls."
Amy turned white and started to mutter, "I can't ummm I don't really feel good can we start another day."
Buffy grabbed Amy's arm and stopped her from running up the stairs, "Oh no you don't, you're not going anywhere. You are coming out and training with the rest of the girls."
"I can't, please don't make me," Amy started to beg.
"Why can't you?" Buffy asked impatiently.
"I don't know how to do that, I can't do that," Amy answered quietly.
Buffy rolled her eyes again and was about to drag Amy outside when Spike chipped in. "Give the girl a break. She's never fought before. How 'bout I train her myself in the basement until she can do what the other girls are doing."
Buffy looked at Spike like he was crazy but let go of Amy's arm and just walked out. "I'll take that as a yes," Spike said once she was gone.
"Thanks Spike," Amy spoke up, she was still white but the color was starting to come back to cheeks.
"No problem, but we'll definitely need Faith's help and Kennedy's going to have to come down and help cause she made up their whole system thing."
"You mean other people are going to see me?"
"Don't worry they're not going to go blab to everyone. Faith won't tell anyone cause that's just not who she is and as for Kennedy the only person she really talks to is Willow and Willow doesn't talk to many people 'cept Buffy and Xander."
At the mention of Buffy's name Amy turned white again. Spike noticed this and quickly covered his mistake, "I'll tell Willow not to tell anyone okay. Now you need to go change into clothes to train in and we'll go train."
"Clothes to train in?" Amy asked.
"You know like what the girls are wearing," Spike answered.
"I don't have any cloths like that."
"I guess we can start training tomorrow. Have Dawn take you shopping for now." (For my story the town is not deserted and all the stores and everything are open) Amy nodded and walked over to where Dawn was watching TV.
