They say life sucks, and then you die. They say the real world isn't all beautiful, flying colors. They even say that you should enjoy life to the fullest, because when you get out in the real world, it's going to hit you hard in the ass. All of that is true, because I have known it firsthand. My name is Cordelia Chase, and I am a Vampire Slayer.

There was a time when I was happy as I could possibly be. I grew up to be the leader of the Cordettes in Sunnydale High. I was the leader, because I had made the group. My best friend, Harmony Kendell, was my second in command. The rest of the group were wannabes. Flock of sheep. I called Harm a sheep too, but she was still my best friend. Because I was a total bitch and high class since I was rich and popular, the student body called me different things. Most called me Queen C, bitch, and Queen B. The rest called me a drama queen, and others didn't call me anything at all. But not only was I the leader of the Cordettes, I was also the captain of the cheerleading squad. I was talented at everything I did, but one thing Harm and I agreed on was how to act. We did everything we possibly could to keep the geeks and losers in line. We made fun of them. When sophomore year came around though, my life changed completely when I fell in love with one of the outcasts. Xander Lavelle Harris. We tried to deny our love, but after a while, we couldn't hold back anymore. And that's what led to the gropy kisses in broom closets.

After a while, we let our love be known to our friends. His friends were Willow Rosenburg and Buffy Anne Summers. Buffy wasn't just an outcast. She was also the Vampire Slayer. She was chosen. It was her destiny. But we were so much alike that we never saw eye to eye. I made her life harder than what it already was, but even after I knew what really existed and what she was, I didn't stop. She was an outcast, and I had a reputation as Queen C to uphold. Willow was an outcast and nerd. She loved learning, reading, and researching.

After a while longer, I lost everything. I went from rich and popular to poor and popular. My family lost everything, because they had decided not to pay their taxes anymore. And not long after I lost everything, I stood up to Harmony when she made fun of Xander. I still cared about him, and I didn't want him hurt. He had saved my life the day before, so I had fallen in love with him again. After all, I had broken up with him on Valentine's Day for Harmony. But after she made fun of him, I had called her a sheep and walked away. I left my Cordettes for Xander and became part of the Scoobies. That's what Buffy, Willow, and Xander called their group.

When junior year came around, Oz became part of the Scoobies after he and Willow fell in love. He was a guitarist in a band called Diegos Ate My Baby. We later found out that he was a werewolf on a full moon night.

Buffy was the leader out of all of us, but the librarian, Rupert Giles, was her Watcher. The librarian part was just a disguise, but he was actually a Watcher. He was assigned as Buffy's Watcher, but when Buffy died once and Xander brought her back to life, a new Slayer by the name of Kendra was summoned. And then Kendra was killed by an insane vampire named Drusilla, and Faith Lehane was summoned. And long story cut short, Faith went to the dark side because of her uncle, and later went into a coma. She was thought of to never awaken, but she did. That was after graduation, and two years after I had left town. After all, Xander and Willow had cheated and I broke up with him. Oz forgave Willow, but it took me more time to forgive Xander.

When I left Sunnydale, California I went to start an actress career in LA, and when that didn't work, I met up with Angel whom is Buffy's ex-boyfriend. He's a vampire with a cursed soul, so he's a good guy. I teamed up with Angel and our new friend Doyle. We later found out that he was half demon and half human. He died saving the world after he kissed me the first and last time. And then we gained a whole team as we met people.

First it was Wesley-Wyndam Price. We knew him in Sunnydale as a Watcher, but he had gone to England when Buffy and Faith had turned him down.

Next came Charles Gunn. He was living on the streets and killed vampires and demons with friends he called his "boys." He had been killing things since he was fifteen years old, after he witnessed his sister be taken by a vampire. And then when he found her, she had been turned. So, he killed her.

The third was Winifred whom we rescued from a dimension called Pylea. We found her after my friends in LA came to rescue me, when I got sucked into a portal and landed in Pylea.

The one that came two years after Gunn and Fred was my best friend. Harm. But I soon found out that she was a vampire and had dated a vampire I despised. Spike whom used to be known as William the Bloody. Angel didn't trust her since she didn't have a soul, but I did. And who could blame me? She was my best friend, and had been since we were kids. But when she apparently didn't know where her loyalties lie, she betrayed us. So, I held a crossbow up to her chest and told her to leave "my city." She did, but came back a couple years later, and proved that she was good, even without a soul. So, we welcomed her back, excluding Angel. And she never betrayed us ever again.

A year after Sunnydale was half way destroyed, and Spike had died with a special amulet to help save the world, he came back to life somehow, after the amulet was brought to us. We found out that he had been given a soul after he had died, and Fred restored him from ghost to fully human-looking, since he was still a vampire. But with a non-cursed soul.

Later on, I went into a coma, and Angel and them fought against Wolfram and Heart creatures called the Circle of the Black Thorn. The good guys won, but with a price. Wes was killed and so was Fred. Gunn was injured, but he lived. Since Faith was back to being good, she had helped Angel and the others.

After six months in a coma, I woke up and went back to help my friends with Angel Investigations. And a month later, I was summoned as Sunnydale's new Slayer. So, I came back home. And that's what has led up to the present.
