Disclaimer: Don't own nuthin', don't get paid nuthin', all I get out of this whole shebang is the simple pleasure of writing the story as it comes into my head.
Author's note:This is pretty A/U after all seasons of both BtVS and AtS; however, you are smart readers and probably figured that out all on your own. These first few chapters are pretty much introductory. Beginning with chapter six, the real story will start. I'm not 100 about pairings yet, soif you have any ideas please let me know. And thanks to myreviewers so far. Shutting up now so you can read.
Desty found herself in a graveyard. She was surrounded by vampires. She wasn't panicked. She couldn't afford to panic. They attacked, and so did she. Punch, kick, stake, one by one she fought them off. The last one grabbed her by the throat. "You're mine." It hissed. Snuggles let out a startled yelp as he was shoved off the cot. Desty woke in a cold sweat, clutching her throat. She shuddered, pushed her hair out of her eyes and got out of bed. She looked at her watch. It was 8:30 am. "Sorry, Snuggles, that was a bad dream." She said as she picked the dog up. He licked her face as if to say all was forgiven. "Let's go make some breakfast." She set Snuggles down, and he followed her to the break room.
Desty pulled out eggs, ham, and butter and turned on the stove. She located a pan and two plates, and proceeded to make two omelets. She one and a half, while the other one cooled for Snuggles. Desty sat with her back to the door, so she didn't notice Angel enter until he opened the door of the refrigerator. She turned, slightly startled. "Oh, good morning. I didn't hear you come in." Angel shrugged. "Most people don't." He replied as he pulled a container of blood out of the fridge. Desty smiled as she stood and began to wash her dishes. Angel studied her and recognized the pajama bottoms and t-shirt as his. It was strange to see someone else wearing his clothes. Her hair was short and choppily cut. The back of her neck was exposed and covered in scars, as were her arms. She's seen her share of fights. Angel thought. When Desty was finish with her dishes, she turned. "Snuggles and I will be downstairs." Angel looked confused. "Who's Snuggles?" Desty picked up the dog, who had been hiding beneath her baggy pants leg. "This is Snuggles." She replied, holding him up for Angel to see. "Oh, the dog… Snuggles, cute name." Desty smiled and turned to go just as Spike walked in. "Mornin' luv, you mentioned blood?" Spike said sleepily. "Refrigerator. Mugs are in the cupboard, just above the microwave. And yes the microwave does work." Desty said as she walked out of the room. Angel watched her go and Spike fixed his breakfast. Suddenly, there was a noise like a static television, then a blinding white light. The two vampires stood in shock as the guardian appeared before them. She looked shocked to see them as well. "Angel? Spike? What are you two doing here? You disappeared off the face of the earth." Because she had aged since their last meeting, the vampires didn't recognize her. "And you are…?" Angel asked. "It's me, Willow." "Bloody hell!" Spike said. "Is it topsy turvy day all over the bloody place?" Willow laughed and looked around the break room. "Where is she?" "Who?" "The slayer of course." Both Angel and Spike looked confused. "Willow, Buffy's dead and so are the others." Angel said gently. "Yeah, 'appened a long time ago." Spike added. Willow shook her head. "I'm not talking about Buffy or the others. I saw them all put in the ground, even Giles. I'm talking about the new slayer. The powers told me I would find her here." "Only girl we know is downstairs." Spike replied. "Doesn't strike me as the slayer type though." Willow shrugged. "Doesn't matter, she's the one. Now are you going to show me were she is, or do I have to find her myself?" Spike shot Angel an amused look. "C'mon, Red, she's this way." He said as he led the way out of the kitchen.
Author's Note 2: Ok, this is it so far...If you want to see another chapter, I need at least five more reviews. I'll be writing, but not posting until I get all five. Hope you're enjoying this.
