Author's Note: Hello, guys! How are you? I've been good. I've been busy. I've been going through some stuff but I'll be okay. It's normal.

Anyway, this isn't a crossover but there are some other fictional characters that are visiting them. What do you think?

Chapter 15 Slayers of Sunnydale

I was in pain for a week before I was able to get up. Another week before I could do a light workout. The week after that, I was still weak but I could fight. The good thing about not having a broken bone was that once the wound heals, I could literally fight.

Edward insisted that I rest. He was, first and foremost, a doctor like Carlisle. While he was also a soldier, he wanted nothing but to save people. He had made mistakes over the century that he had been alive but still, he was doing what he could in order to help out.

It took another two weeks before Carlisle came back. By then, a few dozens of vampires had shown up. I was getting nervous around them. Their eyes were deep red and my friends and I were food source.

Anyway, Carlisle might've noticed my discomfort. He asked me and Edward to go to other vampire hunters to fight the Volturi.

Although I was hesitant, I agreed. While the Volturi was hunting me down, who would replace them? As evil as they were, they provided stability amongst the vampire world. What would happen now?

I decided that I needed to take care of things one day at a time. For now, our target was to bring the Volturi down. It didn't occur to me that I would help vampires by taking down their leaders-Aro, Marcus, and Caius.

We headed straight to the slayers of Sunnydale. These were women who were given the gift of killing vampires. Somehow, these women were endowed with magic to enhance their natural fighting abilities.

When we got there, we found slayers willing to take down the vampires although some were hostile toward me. I didn't understand it. Edward was always close to me, whether for the fear of his life or something else, I would never know.

When we got there, a blond woman in her late 30's approached me. Her name was Buffy and she seemed to have taken a liking toward me. I wouldn't ignore the kindness she had shown me despite the fact that the other slayers would rather eat me alive.

One day, she and I were alone in the house. She asked me a strange question.

"Would you like to spar with me, Bella?" she asked.

"Yes," I said.

Buffy was quick. It took me a couple of minutes to get used to her fighting style. Hers and mine were a little bit different. Hers was Tae Kwon Do. Mine was Karate. She was fast and strong. I knew I stood a chance against her. I tried to take her down.

Then, it happened. She moved fast. So fast that she could match a vampire speed.

"How did you do that? I thought slayers don't have superspeed and superstrength," I asked.

"Slayers were given powers that would match the skill of the vampires nearby," she explained.

"So, that means that if a vampire nearby moves so fast and were superstrong, you'd be able to match them?" I asked again.

"Pretty much," she said.

That was a neat trick to have. That meant that she could defend herself against the vampires.

"Vampires in Sunnydale don't have superspeed. Edward, on the other hand...Human beings on their own were no match for vampires. We needed the help of the supernatural in order to defeat them," she said.

I punched Buffy but she moved back and neatly avoided it. I followed it up with a kick but she swept me with her legs making me land on my back. She held up her hand and helped me get up.

"Seeing you and Edward reminds me of me and Angel," Buffy said. There was that sadness in her eyes as she continued. "Angel and I were forbidden to fall in love. But it didn't last long. He's a vampire and I'm human. He ended up leaving so that I could live a normal life. Looking back, I wished that I would've just crossed those boundaries. That I had the courage to go after him and stay. My life would be a lot different from how it is now. But it's the choice that I didn't make. It's the choice that I would carry with me for the rest of my life."

"I'm not with Edward," I told her.

"Maybe not now. I would forever regret not having the courage to go after Angel. I would always wonder what my life would be like if I had. I could see the way you look at Edward and the way Edward looks at you. Be honest with yourself. Don't let your preconceived judgment prevent you from making the right choice," Buffy said.

We had the dinner that night. Buffy and the slayers agreed to help us. They agreed to help as soon as they worked out who would stay at Sunnydale and who would go.

When Edward and I were on our way home, there were the vampires with alabaster skin surrounding us. They came toward our direction and attacked us. They held me tightly. Meanwhile, they tore Edward into pieces.

And I screamed.

Before I could even blink, the slayers surrounded us. They fought the vampires and killed most of them. Only two were able to flee.

Meanwhile, we assembled Edward's body. We were able to find all of his pieces and put them back together. I cried when I saw him. He was unconscious which was rare for vampires. They don't sleep.

"He's thirsty," Buffy said. "It took some energy to piece him back together."

"We don't have blood supplies," I pointed out.

"You're right. We don't carry extra on hand. I guess you'll have to wait until he becomes conscious...if he becomes conscious," Buffy said. Then she left.

I wanted to go out and hunt. However, instead of vampires, I would be going for bears. There weren't a lot of blood around. Except for mine. That was when I decided to cut my fingers, let out some blood, and placed it on Edward's mouth.

Edward drank some of my blood. That was when he was able to regain some of his strength back. He's conscious now. Tomorrow, he'd go hunting and get himself satiated. He didn't want to drain me and take the risk of me becoming a vampire.

"Last night, I was so scared. I thought you'd die," I said.

"So what if I did? You don't care," Edward said.

"Of course I care. You're important to me," I said, stopping short of saying how I truly feel.

"Very well. Sleep. We'll postpone and leave tomorrow afternoon instead," he told me.

I was calm after that. Edward was okay. I knew that we'll be okay too.

End Notes: So, what do you think of Buffy giving advice to Bella? Buffy had been in love with other vampires but it's only because she regretted not following him because of her responsibility. She had moved on from Angel but regret is still there. It's like giving advice to her younger self.
