Summary: Members of the Veritas Project investigate weird occurrences in a certain town called Sunnydale, California. Once there they find themselves up against their greatest fears and uncover the ancient legend behind the city of Sunnydale.
Disclaimer: I own no characters yet.
Elisha continued to cry the entire way to California. Not talking to anyone, so when they pulled up to the town and she was forced to leave the RV after washing her face off.
Once she left it, she was glad because the city was beautiful. She looked around and breathed in the air. They walked down the streets towards the school. They walked in and Elijah saw the most beautiful teenager in the world. She had brown hair, blue eyes, and was about his height.
She was walking along side a shorter blonde who had blue eyes was well. He went up to them and said, "Hi, could you possibly take us to the principal's office?"
The brown haired girl looked at me and nodded, "Follow me." She led them down the halls and to the door. "Well, here you are. I am Dawn Summers by the way." She said, extending her hand.
Elijah took it saying, "I am Elijah Springfield. This is my sister, Elisha, my mom Sarah and dad Nate. It was a pleasure meeting you."
Dawn nodded and said, "Oh yeah this is my sister Buffy. Well, maybe I'll see you around sometime." The Summers sisters turned and began walking away.
Elijah watched as they walked away. Elisha grinned and whispered, "Now who has the crush?" Elijah glared at his sister and then followed his parents into the office.
As Buffy and Dawn retreated, Buffy noticed the glow in her sister's eyes. She smiled and said aloud, "You interested in Elijah or are you taking a page out of Willow and Tara's book and going for Elisha?"
Dawn glared at Buffy and said "The former of course. I don't know there is just something about him that intrigues me."
Buffy nodded and said, "Yeah tell me about it. Their whole family gave me a weird vibe. Do you think they could be …"
"I don't think so. If they are why bother going to the school. Why not attack us where we research."
Buffy nodded and they both headed off to Dawn's Chemistry class.
"Welcome to Sunnydale High School. I have asked you here because lately there have been strange occurrences, all of them weirdly involving Buffy Summers and her group of friends. I hope that you will be able to uncover the source of this quickly. Elisha, you will be taking a similar course schedule to Dawn Summers, and Elijah you are enrolled in GT courses all around. Since it is parent's day, I trust you will be hanging around to look for any suspicious activity from any of the students or staff." Principal Sonia explained, handing out schedules to Elisha and Elijah.
"We shall, thank you Principal Sonia." Elisha stated as she rose and walked out of the room.
They stood outside of the office and decided that Sarah would go with Elisha and Nate with Elijah. So the males headed off to US History, while the females headed off to Chemistry.
Once in Chemistry, the only open seats were next to Dawn and Buffy. They sat down and started class. When they went to do partner activities, Elisha turned to Dawn and they agreed to work together.
"So how long have you lived here?" Elisha asked as they worked on the worksheet.
"Um… all my life, my mom died a couple of years ago, and my dad doesn't talk to Buffy and I so Buffy is my guardian. It's not that bad, we have a big group of friends and we all look after each other." Dawn stated.
"Ah, my family and I move all over the place. Rarely stay in one place for a long time."
"Ah, that sucks. Hey if you want some help catching up on classes, come by around 2:45 to this address after school, kay?" Dawn offered as she handed her a slip of paper that bore an address.
Elisha took the paper and nodded. They went off to the next class talking about past events that happened to them that left them laughing. Buffy and Sarah walked behind them smiling glad that Elisha and Dawn had become fast friends.
Elisha and Dawn headed off to lunch after a few more periods and they sat down and Elijah went over to join them. Dawn then went on to tell them how she was watched after by two good friends, because her sister went into a deep coma.
When the day ended, Dawn headed off with Buffy, while Elisha and Sarah went to the RV.
Elisha sat on the sofa after grabbing a soda. Elijah soon followed her in, her parents soon after. They sat down and they compared notes. "Well, Dawn seems to come from an interesting family. Her mom died a while ago and she never talks to her dad, and her sister is her guardian. Buffy also went into a bad coma in which their friends looked after Dawn." Elisha started.
"Well, that just puts a common name on the American family."
The family laughed and Nate said, "Maybe we should investigate this family more."
"I am already on it. Dawn offered to help me catch up on the classes. I'm going to this address this afternoon at 2:45, which means I should leave now." Elisha said.
Elisha took a small knife and her cell phone and walked out of the RV and began jogging towards the address. She turned the corner onto the desired street, Sunshine St. She slowed to a walk and began looking for the place.
"1034…1036…1038… Oh dear…" Elisha gasped as she looked at the place at 1038 Sunshine St. It was a place called 'Magic Box'. She swallowed her hesitation and walked in.
The bell rang over her head as she opened the door. A blonde woman sat at the cash register and questioned, "Oh did you come to buy something?"
"Anya, back off! She is my friend. I asked her to come by so I could help her catch up on her school work." Dawn chastised as she came down from the upper shelves.
Anya muttered an apology as Dawn walked over to Elisha. "Why don't we go talk over here," indicating to a table in the far side of the shop.
Elisha nodded and walked over there with Dawn. They sat down and began working on catching Elisha up. "Why did you want to meet here? I mean this is a magic shop right? Do you believe in all this?"
"Well…" Dawn hesitated not knowing how to respond, "my sister's old friend runs it with a partnership with Anya and they needed help so I am a part-time employee." She bluffed.
Elisha slowly nodded since she was a trained Veritas agent, she knew Dawn was holding something back. She just wasn't sure what Dawn was hiding. When they finished, Elisha rose and said, "Well thanks for everything. I'll see you tomorrow at school."
Elisha walked to the door when Buffy was sent crashing through the white wooden door. She crashed into Elisha and sent them both colliding with the floor.
Buffy got up off of Elisha and ran into the back room and returned with a sword.
A/N: Well that is all for right now. I hope it sustains you. If you have any ideas of where this could go review and tell me!
