Day Five, Saturday, Premises Withheld The Address, St. Treharne, Cornwall, England

Ramiculus smiled. His strength grew every day and soon, his most beloved daughter would join him and his adored wife. Then when his family had been reunited, he would flood hell itself. And his family would rule for all time. He laughed, enraptured by his vision of the future. A favourite of his sidled into the room

"You wanted to see me?" She asked in her vague, cockney accent.

He turned to her and smiled victoriously. "Yes!" He breathed, and beckoned her with his finger. As if hypnotised she glided to him. Overwhelmed by the energy he radiated, she sank to the ground, her mind filled with pictures, giggling hysterically.

"What do you see?" He asked her.

"The Slayer and all her little friends. And my Angel."

"Where are they?"

"With the children. They're running through the meadows…and the sun is shining happily." She smiled. "Miss Edith isn't pleased."

Ramiculus screamed with rage.

A/N

Okay, this is in response Some questions I was recently asked by Lady Rouge, Arekanderu and The Sleepless Dreamer. *waves*

Lady Rouge asked 'since when can vampires be invited in wid out an invitation?'  Well, my reply (And this is where you can really see that I'm from the UK in general and England specifically) is that they can't.  Your question is grammatically incorrect.  No-one can be invited into your home without an invitation.

However, I am assuming that you meant to ask 'since when can a vampire enter your home without an invitation?'  Am I right?

My reply to that question is that in the Jossverse a vampire cannot enter a human's home unless they are dead or have issued an invitation.  They can however enter if the home belongs to another vampire or demon.  As dhampirs are half-vampire and half-human, a vampire may enter their home unless they are specifically told otherwise, in which case they are forced back out.

Does that make sense to everyone?  I'd hate to think that there's a load of people out there, horribly confused because I've managed to stick to the Jossverse like glue and yet appeared to have forgotten the most fundamental of all the Jossverse rules.

Arekanderu said 'please DON'T MAKE A HARRY POTER crossver'.  Well rest easy Arekanderu, I promise that this will not be a Harry Potter crossover.  I may eventually write a HP crossover, but as I currently can't come up with a reasonable excuse to get the characters of Buffy into HP and I have difficulty emulating J K Rowling's style, I won't be writing it any time soon.

And The Sleepless Dreamer *waves a frantic hello* asked if this was set before or after Pangs.  My answer?  Before Pangs.  *lol*  It's actually set directly between (Buffy) 'Wild at Heart' and 'The Initiative' (hence no Oz and a less active Willow) and (Angel) 'Room With a View' and 'Sense and Sensitivity' (hence, the Doyleness).  I actually quite wanted to set it after Pangs, but the timeline of both Buffy and Angel prohibits that if I wanted to include Doyle.  So I weighed it up and including Doyle won!  *lol*

Okay, this has been a really long Authors Note and I'm gonna go and start writing the next chapter of Red now!

Talk to you all later!
