Chapter four

The next week was strange the least for people in school they now had to get used to Emily and Cassie being friends but it meant that Mia was now queen bee and she was going to make their lives hell.

Willow stood outside Buffy's house she knocked twice and waited, the door opened and Emily was stood in front of her Emily's smile faded slightly but let Willow in none the less.

It was silent as the two girls moved into the living room "my mum isn't home yet just so you know" Emily said Willow sighed "I didn't come to see her" Willow said Emily stopped what she was doing and looked at her "why are you here then" she asked Willow sat down Emily continued watching her "I wanted to see you" Willow replied not looking at her Emily nodded for her to carry on "well I don't know what your mum has told you about me" Willow started "she told me you really hurt her" Emily cut in Willow nodded.

Emily sat opposite her "I know I did guess you hate me too" she laughed "no I don't know you but I will warn you now, you hurt her and I will hunt you down and kill you" she said seriously Willow gulped "my mum has been through enough with Peter he hurt her and was deluded into thinking he was my dad" Willow gulped again for a different reason "look just let my mum think this through she still loves you" she laughed a little "I mean she talked about you often enough" Willow laughed Emily was then in front of her "but I think your good for her ok so you had bad taste in women where that Kennedy was concerned but you're here and fighting" she smiled Willow nodded.

Cassie was in the corner of her room crying she had just got a horrible beating from her father for talking back she grabbed her phone and was beginning to text Emily to come get her.

Emily heard her phone go off she picked it up and read the text she was growling Willow looked at her "what's the matter" she asked "that bastard!" Emily shouted running out the house leaving a confused Willow.

Cassie sat waiting she knew Emily would save her she usually did during the first week of their friendship Emily had been there for her every time they beat her up for nothing. Cassie heard a tap on the window, she stood and opened it, Emily jumped in "don't you know what a door is" Cassie laughed but then winced in pain Emily immediately looked at her she was bruised and had a cut on her lip she growled "I will kill him" she whispered Cassie just curled into her and cried Emily began singing in her ear to calm her down.

After Cassie had calmed down Emily lay her on the bed and went downstairs were Cassie's father was laughing in the living room, she opened the door he turned and looked at her "how the hell!" he started but she grabbed him and pinned him to the wall, she vamped out "I warned you not to touch her again didn't I" she growled he nodded looking scared "well then what did I say" she asked he stuttered.

Cassie walked in the room and froze she saw her dad being pinned to the wall by a very different Emily, who was getting control of her breathing then dropped him to the floor "you're not worth it because unlike you I will be there for her I won't turn to abuse like you did and killing you would just give you an easy way out" she hadn't noticed Cassie watching them "I may not be a normal girl but I am not a killer" she growled then looked up and noticed Cassie.

Emily sat on the edge of the bed as Cassie was pacing "what on earth are you" she asked Emily was silent "you are a freak" Cassie whispered Emily's head snapped up "I am not a freak" she growled Cassie laughed "you're not even human" she argued Emily looked away then stood "I told you didn't I you are right though I am not human but I've heard it all and it didn't bother me, but you saying it is like a knife to my gut" she then turned and jumped out the window.

Emily the next morning got up she saw Buffy and Willow chatting she sat next to Willow "morning hey what's wrong" Buffy asked Willow was concerned as well "nothing just leave it please" Emily said trying not to cry Buffy hugged her as Emily sobbed .

There was a knock at the door, Willow went to answer it, she saw Cassie the other side "is Emily there" she asked Willow nodded and let her in Emily didn't look up as she came in "what do you want" she asked Cassie sighed "look it was a bit of a shock last night I am so sorry" she pleaded Emily didn't look at her but Cassie made her "look I don't care ok, you're still my best mate" Emily looked at her then hugged her Cassie was stroking her hair.

Emily looked up at Cassie who was smiling down at her "I really don't care if anything I think it's cool" Cassie said smiling Emily laughed "remind me not to take you out on patrol with me" she whispered Cassie looked confused "what's patrolling" she asked Emily sat up.

"This is going to take a while" she said Cassie nodded "you see my mum is what we call a vampire slayer she fights evil or she did on a daily basis, when I was born I grew up quickly in all respect I should only be seven not seventeen but anyway we found out I was a day walker, that's a half vampire half slayer but there is a problem with that, both sides want control of me so they fight each other for it, when it happens I can be unpredictable".

Cassie nodded and listened "I heal faster than others, I can run very fast and jump very high I could show you one day but I won't take you out on patrol with me" she stated Cassie nodded "ok then" she whispered.

Buffy sat on her bed with Willow "look Will these past few days have been great and I love spending time with you again" Buffy started Willow nodded "and I know this was hard for me at first because well I didn't think it was real" Buffy admitted Willow nodded not looking up "but I can't be bothered with all the heart ache and all I want to do is kiss you, so can I" she asked Willow looked up a big smile on her face she leant across and brought Buffy in for a passionate kiss.

Emily and Cassie sat on the sofa watching TV they heard giggling from upstairs Emily kept growling which Cassie found funny and kept laughing Emily looked over at her "what's so funny" she asked Cassie just smiled "you keep growling" she said Emily looked away "I just don't want my mum to get hurt" she whispered.

The front door burst open and Peter was standing with a gun pointed at the two girls he was smiling Emily shot up in front of Cassie "you were is your sister" he slurred he was drunk Emily whispered something before stepping forward "what are you going to do Peter kill us why" she asked he laughed "I am going to kill you, you little freak" he spat.

Cassie was scared but calmed when Emily stood in front of her "look Peter you don't want" he shouted "I am not Peter to you, I am dad!" Emily laughed "no you're not you're my sisters ex abusive boyfriend" she spat he laughed "she hasn't told you has she" he said Emily was confused "what are you talking about" she asked he laughed a sick laugh.

Cassie was calling the police as Peter was talking "I know she's your mum Emily" he laughed Emily's eyes widen "I know because I am your father"

Emily took a step back and began crying "no you're not" she said he nodded laughing "oh yes I raped her I held her down and raped her, she was begging me to stop and I wouldn't because I was in control" Emily growled Cassie watched in shock she looked at Emily she could tell she was losing control "you…you" she stammered looking at him, he nodded with a big smile on his face.

Cassie held Emily's arm to stop her attacking him she felt Emily calm but only a little she was still growling.

Buffy and Willow made their way downstairs to see Peter with a gun pointed at the girls and Emily growling "peter" Buffy whispered he looked at her and smirked "she knows" he said Buffy looked at Emily who had her eyes on Peter "she didn't need to know" Buffy told him he laughed "yes she did" he replied smirking Emily heard the police car and whilst his attention was on Buffy she ran at him pushing him to the ground the gun went off.

Buffy ran over to Emily she was bleeding, she had been shot she moved her to another room when the police came in to arrest Peter they checked everything was alright before leaving.

Cassie was sat with Emily who was unconscious after hitting her head hard she sighed "god you stupid girl you could have been killed" she whispered kissing her head "it made me think though I have to tell you something when you wake up Emily" she paused "I have to tell you that I am completely and totally in love with you" she kissed her head softly.
