nine; two sides

"There's more to stories than it seems at first looking," she said. "Two sides to most stories. Folks better be thinking about that for once."
― Augusta Scattergood, Glory Be

I sat contemplating my life for the past few days.

Everything and everyone I had ever known were - gone.

But they weren't actually, they just weren't around.

And that's when I remembered, - there's two sides to every story. Two sides to every person.

If you were to look at any member of the Scooby Gang - anyone at all - you wouldn't think that they had went through so much misery and craziness in their lives.

Take Willow Rosenberg, for example. On the surface, she looked like an average civilian. She was a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend, a family member. If a person were to dig a little deeper than that, they would know some unique things about her. For example, that she was gay, or that she was a witch. But if they were to dig even deeper, they would find out the real story.

Her story.

Like how she had once brought her best friend back from the dead. How she once had a boyfriend who was a werewolf. How she had once turned purely evil, went on a killing rampage, almost killed her loved ones, and had almost destroyed the world.

Alexander "Xander" Harris was a father, husband, and son. His father was a self-pitying drunk while his mother was a fragile mess; both parents were negligent and even abusive towards their son, leaving him with various insecurities. He had almost gotten killed multiple times, and had saved two his friend's lives.

Anyanka "Anya" Jenkins was a mother, a wife, and a daughter. Over a thousand years old, she was originally known as Aud and lived in Sweden. After cursing her unfaithful lover, Aud was approached by the demon D'Hoffryn with the offer of becoming an immortal demon and dedicating her life to vengeance. She accepted and was transformed into Anyanka, earning the title of Patron Saint Of The Women Scorned as she spent a millennium granting dark wishes to the girlfriends and wives of men. She lost her "demonhood" while in an alternate universe when it was taken by Giles. Years later, she shortly because a demon again, before being returned to a human.

Buffy Summers was a mother, sister, and daughter. She officially became a slayer at age fifteen. She had died twice, stopped the world from ending multiple times, had an absent father, a sister who appeared out of nowhere, and had found her mother dead in her own home.

Rupert Giles was the Watcher and father figure of Slayer Buffy Summers, the former librarian of Sunnydale High School, and the occult expert of the Scooby Gang. Born into a family who worked for the Watchers Council for three generations, Giles initially rebelled against his family legacy and became a rogue magician, until the death of a close friend led him to return to the Council's fold. He had almost died multiple times, got knocked out multiple, had helped stop Willow from destroying the world, and had once been called "Ripper."

Dawn Summers was an aunt, sister, and daughter. She was the little sister of the slayer, was once a key created by monks that would destroy all dimensions, was hunted down by a god by the name of Glory, and had once used black magic to bring her mother back for, the dead (and failed.)

Tara Maclay was a Mother, wife, sister, and daughter. Her family life was traumatic, given that both her father and brother were verbally abusive, and she did not seem to have any intimate friends before meeting Willow and the Scooby Gang. Apparently, the only member of her family with whom she had an affectionate relationship with was her mother, who was a witch. She lost her mother when she was 17, at which point she went through a brief rebellious period of lying to her father and staying out all night. She "came out" as a lesbian before her freshman year in college. She had once slayed a demon, was a very powerful witch, and spoke her mind.

William The Bloody, "Spike," was a vampire and a friend/enemy. He had killed two slayers in his early years of being a vampire, had an odd relationship with the slayer, an insane girlfriend, and was once a (bad) poet.

There have been more members of the Scooby Gang, of course, but these were the current ones.

If there was two sides to my normal friends, there must've been two sides to these people.

A/N: ATTENTION! PART OF THIS INFO FROM THIS WAS TAKEN FROM BUFFYVERSE WIKI!! ALL RIGHTS GO TO THEM!! I OWN NONE OF THAT INFO!!! NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED!! Okay, you get the idea. Basically, I wrote some parts of this, and some of the character info was taken from there. This was just a little something that came to mind yesterday, it's a filler chapter, doesn't really have any real significance to the story. Okay. Bye.
