A slayer an angel and a phoenix

Why can't you just accept you're not normal?!

Buffy was out training she had a vampire she'd been fighting as Giles watched as this was supposed to be part of her training. If I'd been there I wouldn't had seen anything wrong with it. The fight went on like a fight was supposed to. And she added some banter. She told him her name was Buffy and that he was history. Before he was staked and turned to dust. Giles told her that her technique was poor. That she should've just plunged the stake into the vampire and moved on. If only it were that simple if it had really been that simple there would be no more vampires left already. But it's not vampires were weak it wasn't like they weren't gonna put up a fight or just simply surrender to her. Had I been a normal vampire she'd have a great opponent. Fighting just as well as she did if not more. I'd been around for centuries. That is if she knew I was one. But until otherwise she wasn't still 100% sure. But she knew it had to do with Angel at least part of it. If I expose myself I expose him.

Not to mention afterwards she'd know the truth and I say again she'd try to kill me. I don't see a different end to this. But this is what happens when I become best friends with the slayer of all people. Genuine yes but I knew this going in that she was the slayer. What had possessed to seek her out? Was I looking for a death wish? Not that I could die but I wasn't a thrill seeker either. I didn't like danger yet somehow it had a soft spot for me and always seemed to find me no matter how far I stayed away from it. But something stopped Giles from scolding her. He saw a ring laying on the ground. From a vampire that he thought was a random attack. And it bothered him that he didn't know what it was. Something big? Buffy asked him. Yes I believe so I think I need to consult my books he told her. In the master's lair he too was reading from a book. This one told him that there would come a time of crisis where worlds hung in the balance. That the slayer will not know him will not stop him and would lead her into hell. Humph not if I had anything to say about it. Although I hope with not exposing myself. He talked about how 5 would die and become ash that people had to die for this creature to come alive.

The master's great warrior it said. And so it was written so shall it be. It said someone would greet him and usher him to his destiny. But which kind? Knowing Buffy that would mean his death. And hopefully not hers. I may be able to rise from the ashes but I couldn't make everyone do it. He then pretended to be reading from his book that a brethren would die going out hunting the night before the minion that was supposed to bring Buffy to her knees and defeat her would not finish the job because he was impatient to eat. He said it was written and so shall it be. But then slammed his book and corrected that it didn't actually say that anywhere in the text he'd been reading from and his point was he wanted whoever this was that would lure Buffy to her doom he wanted his servant to bring him the so called anointed one. And they were to fail a coffin would be their resting place. It was all very confusing too many players in this game. In the latest plan to kill the current slayer. In the library the following morning our tradition carried on as planned. Me coming to Buffy's window only to go around front. Everyone surprised to see me in school if not only because of Buffy. But every now and then I had to keep up my reputation of not always being in school.

I had to keep myself mysterious as if that were a problem. Keep those that didn't care guessing. I still would go to Buffy's but I wouldn't go to school. Compelling was oh so much fun. Especially when it came to homework. I loved the tricks of the trade. Out of everything about being a vampire compel was my favorite trade. I don't really recall many if ever vampires in Buffy/Angel using such a tactic to get what they wanted. To tell you the truth it probably would've solved many problems for Angel and Spike both later down the road. Or now that would include me as well. And for now my biggest problem was schoolwork and letting people think of me as a part time homeschool student. My work got done my grades were up but again had to have some mystery hence people knowing I don't always make an appearance in school or rarely ever until Buffy came. Until then I had no reason to after all it wasn't like until now I had a purpose or any friends. Not sure about the purpose part and until she finds out what I am 100% I have those friends. Each time I even think about it, it makes my non beating heart sink.
