Chapter one: The Slayer
'I'll need to remember to check that new grave later' the young blond thought as she stalked the cemetery at 2.30am. For her it was nothing new. Every since that day in L.A when she discovered who she really was, she hadn't had night where she has gotten to bed before 3.00am. 'Such is the life of the chosen one' she thought bitterly. Buffy Summers was a petit thing at just 5"3. She may not look all that strong but the Slayer had a strength no other human could ever hope for.
She and her mom had moved to the small town of Sunnydale just last week after her parents got divorced. Tomorrow was to be her first day at her new school. She was stressing but not about the usual back to school worries. She wasn't worried if she had bad hair or looked out of place, the thing she was most worried about was something much more sinister. Sunnydale High was built on the very thing that the Slayer was chosen to fight against by the Powers That Be. Evil. Or the Hellmouth as it was called. This small, and quite frankly, boring town has nothing to offer except for its wide range of demon activity and that's what the Slayer was interested in. Nothing else.
(Authors note: I know Giles never called Buffy but for the sake of the story it was he not Merrick who found Buffy as the slayer)
..............................................................................
The Slayer was a force to be reckoned with as the seven-foot Zoloth demon found with its deadly clawed hands found out. With surprising swiftness that would have made any bystander dizzy had they been watching, the Slayer had somersaulted over the creatures head and decapitated it using the sword she had sheathed to her back.
"Yes very good Buffy." Rupert Giles praised her Slayer. Giles as she insisted in calling him was Buffy's Watcher. He was the one who found her in L.A and informed her of her destiny to rid the world of evil. He loved the girl like a daughter and it pained him to send her out to fight night after night though he had very little choice in the matter.
Because he was so close to her the changes in her attitude were easy for him to spot. Shortly after becoming the slayer he noticed that she shut herself off form her friends, even going as far as refusing to acknowledge them when they passed her. He knew why she kept people at arms length, all except her mother and him. She was afraid of the demons she fought night hurting anyone close to her. She already blamed herself needlessly for the nameless people she couldn't save from Vampire attacks. He hoped tomorrow would change the no friend rule she had put upon herself.
