Yes next re-written chapter out. I'm extremely sorry for the delays but I had awful trouble with my Internet. Firstly my hi-tech computer's Internet broke and it had all my re-written chapters on it so I saved it to floppy to transfer onto my other computer, but unfortunately the floppy wouldn't open. Only after did a computer expert tell me that I have a big fluff ball
or something stuck in it '.
But I did not give up so I gave the floppies to a friend who downloaded it on to her computer and sent it to me. More disasters some of the files didn't open. So I saved the half that didn't on a new floppy, which she sent but one file didn't open.
So I was going to repeat the previous steps but I've run out of floppy disks. And now just today we paid $80.00 to get a computer technician in...and you know what our computer wasn't broken...some one had put the connection cord to the modem in the wrong place!!!
I will get each chapter of my re-written story out each week I PROMISE.

Chapter 1
Secret Life
"Sorry Amy, I would totally love to double date with you, but I have an assignment due tomorrow and I have to finish it." Not quiet true as my assignment was completed 3 days ago.
Amy looked disappointed I could tell by the way her cornflower blue eyes clouded over, but hey tonight is very important to me. I have business to attend to and vampires to eradicate. Yep that's my job - I'm your local Vampire slayer. I blame it on my parents.
My father was a vampire and my mother happened to be the priestess of an extremely powerful coven of witches, together they had me.
A half vampire half witch freak, with the job of destroying Demons, werewolves, vamps and any other retarded mutations. Which I might add is not an easy task, but I am the best and was trained by the best, which happens to be my mother's older sister, my Aunt Meredith. I've lived with her for my whole live and practically from the day I was born had me enrolled in any class that involved kicking ass and magic.
My job I have to admit is tedious and dangerous, but its does have its perks from being able to heal from most sustained injury with out scaring, plus from my human side I have the ability to walk in the sun, not for to long though as I'm still very susceptible to sunstroke, but hey I'm not complaining at least I can go in the sun.
Sadly the real kicker is yet to come for on my 21st birthday I will become fully immortal. As I gain something I loose another which is the ability to have children and the experience of growing old. It's strange that my biological father could have children with a human and as far as I know I am the first child born ever as a half cast.
Over all I don't like my job or who I am, even though I have never killed a human I feel guilty for the half of me which is Vampire that relates me to these blood thirsty beasts, it makes me wish I had never been born. Why couldn't my mother have a relationship with someone normal? Shaking the thoughts from my head I focused back on Amy to finish what I was saying
"Anyway you know I don't have a boyfriend. Why don't you take Lita, I heard she's has a new boyfriend to try out."
There was hope in Amy's eyes, fingers crossed that Lita will accept. I sat down listening to Amy as she made her phone call as I chewed my pasta salad. "Hey Leets......
I was wandering if you would like to go on a date with Greg and I. Serena said you have a new boyfriend.......
Great how about you come over at 6.45 then Greg can pick us up for the date...... okay see you later then." Amy finished putting the phone down and swivelling her gaze at me.
"She'll be here in half an hour, I'll be getting changed, it you need any thing just call." With that Amy walked off. Obviously a little pissed that I refused her offer, but I'm only protecting her.
What am I supposed to say?
'Amy I can't go with you tonight because I have to do my job which involves going to that crappy night club that is crawling with vamps, werewolves, rapists and every thing dangerous cause I need to go and blow their brains out.'
No way, rather hurt her than have her see how the real world really looks.
Flicking on the T.V I flopped into a chair finding tonight's entertainment to be 'Buffy the Vampire slayer', what a coincidence. As usual Buffys running around sticking stakes in Vampires who terrorise her school way too many times to be true this T.V series is such a fake the fact is you don't need a stake to kill a vampire.
For a weak Vamp you can kill them easily; break their necks, crush their skulls, shoot them in the head, make them loose a lot of blood, burn them, decapitate them, as long as you find a vital area for survival that can't heal easily.
However strong Vamps are another matter, they need more than a simple bullet. The best way to destroy them is to hit the heart with something natural that is life the opposite to what they are; dead, it has to be created by mother-nature like a stone knife, or a wooden stake.
Stakes being far easier and cheaper to find became more popular hence the prejudice that only a wooden stake can kill them.
Then there is Angel one of the lead male actors. God if only real vampires look like that, but then I would not risk falling for him like Buffy as it's effecting her work, there would be no way I would fall for one of them uh-uh.
"Serena, SERENA can't you hear Lita's at the door." Amy yelled though the crack in the door
I groaned "Amy can't you do it." Feeling particularly lazy.
"Do you think I would if I was dressed!"
Sighing I rolled off the couch to open the door to face Lita and her hot date. She looked great as always but as a child it had been a different story.
She had always been bigger than your average girl. However now she had grown into her body and was now a babe magnet.
At the moment she looked ready to party in a green halter neck mini dress matching her vibrant green eyes, her long dark brown hair held in a high pony tail by a fancy hair tie.
Talking about babes, Lita's date totally hit the bill. He was very cute, with dark brown mahogany hair and the big infectious grin. He looked relaxed dressed in a white T-shirt that said 'Bow to your King' a baseball jacket and baggy jeans.
I wished that I had him as a date he was so very cute and he probably had the cutest butt to match. I was so busy thinking I didn't even hear Lita who was trying to talk to me and only got my attention when she raised her voice.
"Ah Serena....want to let us in?"
I realized I must have been staring at them or rather him, I felt my cheeks redden with embarrassment.
"Oh, sorry Lita, its just you make such a striking couple together, come in." trying to cover my embarrassment.
The guy walked in first, Lita followed behind, stooping to whisper in my ear
"Cute couple Serena nice cover, you were staring at him."
Giving Lita an innocent look I whispered back "So I can't help that he's a gorgeous hunk!"
"A gorgeous hunk....who's taken." Reminding me with a smug smile and walking off to hang on his arm.
"Okay, introductions, Serena this is Ken, Ken this is Serena." Extending his hand I took it in a handshake.
"This is a great place, Serena." He said
I looked proudly at my apartment.
I know my apartment looks great I decorated it. You would think as a college student I'd be in a dorm; another perk of being a vampire slayer, people pay you big money and I mean big money to kill the freaks. So that's why I am able to afford an apartment in a sky rise building in the middle of New York and I can tell you this place is fancy.
When I decorated the place I chose colours the opposite of red for obvious reasons, and my lounge was no exception painted a ice blue, with light oak floors leading into a small kitchen with matching walls and floors.
The place had the most contemporary furnishings of white leather couches, wide screen T.V, glass top table and coffee table, abstract art and light silvery material covering the French doors leading onto the patio.
"Hey Serena, where's Amy?" Lita inquired
"I'm in my room...Serena" she whined "can you help me choose what to wear?" she asked tentatively.
Amy lives with me as a room mate. Amy is a great to live with she's clean, quiet and helpful. We've been friends ever since we were teenagers and to me she's like an older sister - with no fashion sense.
That's why it is so hard for me to lie to her we always told each other our crushes, our ambitions and we promised we would always tell each other the truth. Too bad I could not keep that promise.
"Oh my god Amy, you're still not ready, it's almost seven."
"I know Lita that's why I want Serena to help me."
With that I trudged into her room.
"Whoa, Amy looks like a bomb in here."
It was true clothes were scattered all over the place, on the desk, floor, bed, you name it. I winced when I saw a cute little angora sweater crushed beneath some fallen books.
"Serena, I need help I don't know what to wear." She looked almost panicked and I couldn't resist releasing the giggles bubbling in my throat.
This was funny, here was tidy, conservative Amy worrying what to wear for a BOY. When I used to date, she used to tell me how boys would affect my studies and grades.
I fished through the scattered clothes until I found a nice combination of clothes
"Well first put this on," passing her a white camisole "then put this on top." Handing a pastel blue see through top with long flowing sleeves
"then put this skirt on and to finish the outfit you can lend my new platforms." With that Amy slipped into the denim mini and sighed in relief
"I don't know what fashion mess I would be in without you."
"Don't make me imagine." Faking a shudder, causing Amy to smack me lightly on the arm. Leaving her the room I took a detour to my own room hearing Lita's babble increase in the lounge.
"Amy you look so cute in that outfit, well meet Ken, Ken this is Amy." I walked in with the shoes lightly between my fingers to see them shake hands. I noticed Amy had a slight blush on her cheeks so I'm not the only one who thought he was hot.
"Hey Amy here's the shoes, Greg should be here soon." As if on cue a knock there was heard on the door.
"Serena can you get that."
"Jeeze Amy if I knew you were such a slave driver I would have lived here alone." I joked trudging to the door for the second time in fifteen minutes and flinging it open.
"Hey Serena, how's it going?" Greeted Greg, Amy's boyfriend.
He was about 25 years old with chestnut hair and dark brown eyes. Though he was shorter than Ken he still looked very nice in an electric-blue shirt and jeans. Amy had first met him when she graduated from University and got a job at a hospital, they were very shy when it came to dating and it had taken months for Greg to finally ask Amy out.
"Everyone ready?" Directing his speech at the group in the living room. Nodding they made their way out the door, Ken went through the door first towing Lita by the hand behind protecting his butt from our prying eyes. Amy was last out stopping to give Greg a shy kiss on the lips how totally sweet and his hand snaked around her waist directing her through the door.
"Excellent now that you are going I can finally get some studying done."
"Okay fine Serena, but we all know what you'll really be doing, see ya later." Lita finished gave me a wink thinking she's got me all figured out; too bad she not even close to figuring out my twisted little life.
The couples walked down the corridor to the elevator. I wished that I could go with them, me and a gorgeous date and never have to worry about creatures that should have just been fictional characters, closing the door I sighed, that took like forever to get rid of them. Now to business.
