The battle was finished and the Slayers sat on the bus.

"Look at me! This is nothing! Stay awake!"

Vi commanded and shook Rona.

It came to a halt and Buffy, Dawn, Willow, Kennedy, and Faith stepped out and stared out at the view.

"Looks like the Hellmouth is officially closed for business." Faith commented caually

"There's another one in Cleveland. Not to spoil the moment." Giles said sheepishly

"We saved the world." Xander said

"We changed the world. I can feel them, Buffy. All over. Slayers are awakening everywhere."

"We'll have to find them." Dawn said determined

"We will."

"Yes, because the mall was actually in Sunnydale so there's no hope of going there tomorrow." Giles said.

"We destroyed the mall? I fought on the wrong side." Dawn said slightly depressed

"All those shops, gone. The Gap, Starbucks, Toy R Us? who will remember all those landmarks unless we tell the world of them?"

" We have a lot of work ahead of us." Giles said spoiling the moment.

Faith turned to the group swiftly

"Can I push him in?"

"You've got my vote." Willow said smiling

"I just want to sleep, yo! For like a week!" Faith said punching the air.

"I guess we all could. If we wanted to." Dawn said casting her gaze down.

"Yeah, The First is scrunched so? what do you think we should do, Buffy?" Willow asked extra cheery

"Yeah, you're not the one and only Chosen anymore. Just gotta live like a person. How's that feel?" Faith asked curiously

"Yeah, Buffy. What are we going to do now?"

Buffy just looked ahead and smiled a half smile

CHAPTER ONE

The alarm clock's sound grew louder at every beep. Vi rolled over and slammed her hand down on the snooze button. Her eyes flickered open and saw it was 6:30 P.M. She sighed, walked over to her bathroom and looked in the mirror. She inhaled deeply and prepared. Today was the day that she would tell her parents what she is. She climbed down the stairs in her pajamas and looked in the kitchen. Her mother and father were sitting at the table with their gaze fixed on her.

"What'd I do this time?"

"Well you told us that you had something to tell us."

"Yeah. You know how lately I've been getting into fights and being brought home to the police and staying out late?"

"Yes dear I do." Her mother said firmly with a little bit of harshness.

"Well see, here's the thing…I'm a Vampire Slayer."

"You're a what!"

"I'm a Vampire Slayer. There's more of them out there like me."

"Vi, you clearly need medical attention. Did you hit your head?"

"No…well yes I did yesterday but…but I have proof."

"You have proof?"

"Yes."

"By all means show us this 'proof'"

"When…when I went to Sunnydale I fought an army of vampires with a bunch of them. There was Buffy and Faith and Amanda she's death though and Rona. We all fought the Uber vamps and the first evil."

"I don't believe you. You know what we told you about lying. You're grounded. Now go to your room."

Vi rolled her eyes and stormed up to her room. She had to make them believe her. Well there'd be time to think about that later. Until then she would continue with her routine patrol. As she rummaged through her weapons chest there was a knock at the door. She shut the chest and opened the door.

"What do you want?" She snapped at her parents but didn't intend for it to come out that way.

"Your Mother and I are going out to a dinner party. We'll be back tomorrow."

"Fine."

"You are not to leave the house and we'll be locking up the house."

"I'll make you believe me." Vi said determined.

"And when we get back we're going to talk about you seeing a physiatrist."

"Fine whatever."

She shut the door in their face and changed into a pair of leather pants, a low cut dark purple corset top, and a leather trench coat. Four years had passed and her eighteenth birthday was coming soon. Vaguely she heard her parent's car drive away and she went into the bathroom. The Slayer rummaged through her cupboard and pulled out a brush. She pulled her hair back into a pony tale.

As soon as she was ready, Vi rummaged through her weapon trunk and pulled out a stake. She also pulled out a bottle of holy water, a crossbow and a staff. Making sure she was prepared the Slayer threw her bag of weapons out her window, climbed out on the roof and jumped down on the cement. The lights of New York called to her and she headed into town ready to kick some ass…

PART TWO

The patrolling was slow and Vi was starting to get bored. She scanned the crowd of a bar and sensed a vampire maybe two. In the corner she saw a couple leaving with another.

"And I thought the action was gonna be slow. Checking to see if she had a stake Vi moved stealthily through the crowd and followed the couple. She kept to the shadows until she heard a scream. Vi rushed to the location and saw the vampires feeding.

"Hey!" She called in the general direction. The vampire's head snapped up and looked at the Slayer. They charged at her and she was ready. The fist aimed a blow at her. she blocked the attack and staked the first one. The second stealthily and twisted her arm around her back. Memories of her training with Buffy flashed through her mind.

Spike jumped out and shoved Rona to the ground. Vi tried to stake him but he easily caught her arm and twisted it. Her body was twirls so her neck was in range with his mouth.

"OK, these two are dead. Why?"

"'Cause the black chick always gets it first?" Rona asked, sarcasm dripping from every syllable.

"What was that, Rona?" Buffy asked.

"I'm dead because he's a vampire. I don't have slayer strength, slayer speed. It wasn't a fair fight."

"Vi, do you think I care about a fair fight?" Spike asked honestly.

"No, no sir. You don't play by the rules, and I have learned a valuable lesson of some sort." Spike twisted her arm further. "Ow!" Vi almost chuckled at how weak she was as a fifteen year old.

A sharp pain in her neck brought her back to reality and she head butted the vampire. It stumbled back and lost its composure. Vi jammed the stake in its heart. She ran over to the victims and flipped them over. She stared in shock as she realized who they were.

"Mom? Dad?" She checked for a pulse. There was a pretty steady one.

"Vi? What are you doing out?"

"Slaying vampires and saving your life obviously." A small chuckle was heard from her father. "So do you believe me?"

"Yes. I mean there's proof so there really is no reason for us not."

"okay. I'm gonna call an ambulance for you."

"No you aren't…"

A voice sounded behind her.
