Chapter 3

June 27, 1996: The Bronze

Harry was on his way to the Bronze to meet Xander a boy he met at the blood bank. The blood bank was thought of and paid for by him. And the wallets of the happy meals he pilfered. It would be an easy and better way to get what they need. Plus it had two functions one was to feed his court the other was so there was blood ready and available for the various demons in town. He and his court drank human blood, but the demon blood would be used in case someone got hurt and needed a blood transfusion. Only took 7 months to complete thanks to the various Demons he employed. Normally that would have taken up to a year to do.

Ever since they opened people would bring in their children. Harry had to turn several Doctors just to keep up with demand. Seriously what gave him the idea he could just do something useful and not be roped into putting more work into it.

Which is how he met Xander. He was waiting to give blood at the bank when Harry tripped over him, literally the guy was kneeling in the middle of the hallway. Harry is still not sure why he didn't just kill the guy but there's just something about him. Xander is funny and a really nice guy. He doesn't care that Harry is not the nicest guy around. He's sarcastic, moody, and callous on a good day.

Maybe he was human for too long? Harry liked having a friend. Sure he had his court but that wasn't the same. He wanted something just for him. Something that had nothing to do with him being a vampire. That's where Xander came in. He doesn't know that Harry is the Master of the Hellmouth in Sunnydale and he never will.

Harry wasn't an idiot no one would ever truly know the truth of what or who he is. Only Luke knew what happened to him and he was busy researching the effects of breaking such a curse. Harry didn't want to grow old and die like some human. He needed to know what exactly Lily Potter did to him. His heart had a beat, he could hear it working his blood keeping it warm. He could feel the sun on his skin without going up in flames though he still got a bad rash from it. He had a reflection! He could eat human food and didn't really need blood but it energized him like coffee. He found that he healed instantly when he drank blood. He found that out in Gatlin when those little dipshits stabbed him. He was angry when that child stabbed him he sank his fangs into his throat ripping it open and drinking the blood freely offered. He healed just like that. Harry would never target a child and he is not one to allow others to do so on his watch in his town. Those kids were an exception, evil little bastards.

The Bronze was a loud and chaotic place. Harry loved it. Xander introduced him to his friends Willow and Jesse. Harry didn't care for Willow much he got the feeling she was the type of person who would go power mad and try to destroy the world. Jesse was cool though a little weird but cool.

They got to talking and found out Harry was home Schooled. His guardian Luke was thinking about enrolling him in Sunnydale High School but he was still unsure.

"You should come to School with us in August." invited Willow.

"Yeah," said Xander "I mean School sucks yeah, but the four of us could have fun."

Smiling Harry agreed he would join them once School started. On the inside, he was smirking part one of his plans was working.

Ever since he learned of the new Slayer one Buffy Summers of Las Angelus Harry knew he needed to plan for just in case the girl came here. There was no need for her to come here but she was too close for comfort. The only good Slayer was a dead Slayer.


July 16, 1996: Sunnydale

Twisting out of the way Harry brought the knife up plunging it just below the right rib of the creature. The creature was a mix-mash of different beings created by a young witch that Harry was hunting for the murder of 5 children all half-breeds.

Normally not one for interspecies relationships Harry understood that some Demons could only breed with humans. Most have a half-demon brat to speed along the being able to look human thing. He got that, a bit archaic but well we all need to survive.

The witch is a murderer, a child murderer, the only punishment for such a crime is death.

Letting go of the knife he grabbed another one on his belt and this time aimed for its neck. Missing, Harry bit his lip keeping the scream in when he hit the ground. That fucking thing swatted him like a bug. Oh, now it was on!

Rolling to the left he got a leg under the creature as it darted towards him and lifted it right over his head. While it was dazed he quickly jumped up taking out the potion vial he made for hard to kill abominations. Throwing it he jumped up on the telephone wire well out of the way of the toxic gas.

The potion took less than 10 seconds to work but needed about 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate. Ten minutes later and Harry was running toward the witches hideout still smelling of smoke and burnt meat.

On the phone, he ordered Luke to bring the guard. Highly trained and loyal vampires that he spent the last year cultivating. The guard was trained to deal with the things the Hell mouth would throw at them. Harry knew they could handle a witch on their own but this was his town and no spell caster was going to change that.

The guard was patrolling the town so it didn't take them long to hurry to his side. The witch decided to be a cliche and have her evil lair in the middle of the woods. Not that it mattered to him she would die tonight but the out of the way house meant he could have some fun first. He bet she would make some pretty screams.


July 31, 1996: The Stilinski house

Beacon Hill's was rather boring even with the wolves all over the place. Spending his birthday with the Stilinski's, on the other hand, was entertaining. Claudia was a hot mess, the girl really needed a keeper. Taking Mieczyslaw out with him Harry sent her out to get pampered. Frazzled and scatter-brained Claudia really needed to take care of herself. It's not like he could just tell Noah, the man had to work. Harry would just keep an eye on her and limit her time with Mieczyslaw when he is around. He had a bad feeling but knew there was nothing he could do about it.

Harry would start school in a few days. What was he thinking he may look 16 but he was far too old to hang around children.

Going back to school will help him, in the long run, his plans count on it.

Beacon Hill's was boring but beautiful. So many different species interacting, getting along and living in harmony. Harry already met a few Rougarou, Wendigo and many other types of Shapeshifter in town. Sunnydale attracts more Demons then any other creature alive or undead. That's not to say they didn't have Shapeshifters just not a lot.

Carrying the toddler with him Harry walked around town. Which is how he met Peter Hale and his nephew Derek. Peter was his age a year younger also a sarcastic little shit. Harry liked him.

Derek was adorable and so shy. Okay, so he liked kids whatever.

Harry and Peter led the kids toward a nearby park so they could get to know each other better. Watching Mieczyslaw like a hawk Harry let Derek take the baby to play in the sandbox. The last thing he needs is a baby wolf to hurt his charge.

Peter had an older sister Derek's mother that sounded like a total bitch to Harry. It wasn't his place to interfere so he said nothing.

The two followed him back to the Stilinski home for his birthday party. Luckily no one noticed the glow that engulfed the two kids while at the park. Of course, Mieczyslaw would find his mate as an infant. He wouldn't say anything the two will develop feelings naturally over time. After all, it's not like he has to be with the boy they could end up being good friends or bitter enemies. Only time will tell.


Aug 4, 1996: Sunnydale High School

Principal Flutie was a funny guy, he tried to hard to relate with the students though. Harry felt bad the guy would die soon. A matter of months really.

Harry wasn't the only new kid apparently Principal Flutie was expecting someone else to show up this morning. Not wanting to wait around Harry got his schedule from the secretary and walked to the front of the school to wait for Xander. One thing he learned was that Xander liked to sleep in.

"Hey, are you new?" asked a long-haired girl.

"Yeah, I'm just waiting for my friend. I think he slept in again." taking her hand in his he introduced himself as Harry Masters while kissing it.

"Your, British!"

"What was your first clue?" he teased.

Blushing she introduced herself as Cordelia Chase a Cheerleader. Another girl showed up her name is Harmony Kendell. Somehow Harry got talked into trying out for the Squad. How the hell did that happen? Girls be crazy!

At lunch all anyone could talk about was the dead guy in the Girls locker room. Xander was telling him about the new girl and the weird thing he heard between her and the Librarian Giles.

Good to know the Slayer was in Town. Darla will have to be dealt with for breaking the rules. The last thing they need is the girl sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong.
