Katelyn woke herself up screaming. She remembered that day as if it was yesterday. She brought her legs up to her chest and started sobbing. She couldn't save them. She couldn't stop them. She closed her eyes feeling the seething hatred built within her. She got up and looked out the curtain she had up.

"Sunset." She thought. She went over to the dresser she had her weapons in and grabbed some of them. She grabbed some stakes and her sword.

Faith and Spike just arrived in Cleveland. They decided they were going to check every single abandoned building they could find, they knew she had to be hiding out so whatever attacked the Slayers and Watchers couldn't find her, so she would have more time to spare.

They came to an abandoned hotel. They walked inside one of the rooms. It looked like a training room and it smelled of old blood. Spike walked over and saw crosses and like someone had dug into the floor with a shovel.

"Looks like this hotel sits on the ground and had no concrete foundation." Spike stated looking at the floor.

"It is an older hotel from the looks of it. That might be a possibility. Either way, we need to keep moving and look for this girl. We might not have much time."

Spike looked away from the crosses and followed Faith out of the hotel. He knew she was right. They had to find this girl, anything could happen to her. The soul inside Spike didn't want that.

Katelyn looked up and smirked at the vampire that knocked her down. She got up and kicked the vampire into the nearest tombstone breaking it. She ran over when he was down and staked him. She staked five vampires tonight. Cleveland was dead tonight. It was a Sunday Night, she wasn't shocked. She decided she was going to turn in early and call it a night. She started walking back towards her abandoned school building.

It didn't take her long to get there. She ran there of course. She loved running. She got inside and threw her duffel bag on the floor and took her jacket off. She also took her boots off as well as her socks. She walked over to one of the dressers she had and took a pair of shorts out removing her pants and putting the shorts on. She took off her shirt and put on a tank top she pulled out of her dresser as well. She looked over at her cot and thought it looked more than comfortable. She walked over and pulled her blankets over her slipping into a deep sleep.

Back to April 30th

After two hours of being told by Kyle to run away, Katelyn wanted to go back and see if there were any survivors. She opened the door to the training room and saw it was pure bloodshed. She saw one of the girls ripped to pieces laying in the corner and saw Kyle… Her Watcher… She ran over to him and kneeled down. He was still barely breathing.

Katelyn felt tears welling in her eyes as she looked down at her dying Watcher.

"It's going to be okay Kyle… You're going to be okay…"

Kyle looked at his Slayer, he knew it was his time, he just didn't know how to tell her.

"K… Kate… You need to do something." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper with an address on it.

"1415 Stockholm Drive

Vermillion, OH

47614"

"Write to these people… They can help you… Tell them what happened and what's going on… It's back Kate… And it intends to open the Hellmouth…" Kyle took his last breath and died there in Katelyn's arms.

"Kyle… Kyle please wake up…"

Katelyn held her Watcher close to her not caring if she got his blood all over her. She held him close to her and sobbed her heart out until she thought she was going to be able to stop crying. She felt like she was truly alone in this… In her studies… This is how the Slayers were… Alone, always alone.

Katelyn opened her eyes to see someone with peroxide blonde hair hovering above her. Her "Slayer Sense" told her he was a vampire. She clenched her fist beside her.

"You must be Katelyn… I'm here to-"

Before Spike could finish his statement, Katelyn knocked him across the room. She got up throwing her blankets from her. She ran over to him and continued to hit him repeatedly until she felt someone pull her off of him.

Katelyn fought the dark haired woman off of her. Katelyn could feel the power of the Slayer within the brunette woman.

"Slayers and Vampires fighting together? What the fuck is this?"

"I'm Faith. This is Spike. We got your letters. We're from Vermillion; we're here to help you."

Spike got up stumbling.

"She's got spunk…"

Katelyn ignored his comment and listened to the woman whose name was Faith.

"Prove it."

Faith figured she was going to do that, so she grabbed the letters that Katelyn sent.

Katelyn grabbed them and started looking through them. It was them. They really were from Vermillion. They were really were here to help her.

Katelyn looked at Faith.

"Sorry I tried fighting you from me."

Faith smiled acknowledging her apology.

Katelyn looked at Spike.

"You, not so much. You're a vampire. You shouldn't even be here. You should be dust."

"I think her and Angel are going to get along great." Faith said smiling.

Spike sighed.

"Yeah, maybe a little too well."

Katelyn went over and sat down on her cot. She saw Faith follow her over and sit next to her.

"We need you to come with us though. We have a safe house full of other slayers and weapons. You'll be safe there."

Katelyn acknowledged Faith and got up grabbing one of her duffel bags grabbing only her clothes, studies from Kyle, and a few stakes. Katelyn even grabbed one and held it in her hand.

Spike sighed looking at the girl.

"You're not going to need that."

Katelyn looked at him and smirked.

"Watch your back; I'm not afraid to kill you William."

Faith laughed. "William. Kid does have spunk." She thought to herself.
