Elizabeth Summers always knew she was different, but she thought it always had to do with her sister, Buffy, the Slayer.
But that just wasn't the case.

"LIZZY", The blonde was in the library when she heard his voice again.
But this time she wasn't dreaming.
"Lizzy."
"Giles! I'll be right back." She called out before leaving the library. Elizabeth followed the voice down into the basement of the school, where she couldn't see due to the lack of light,
"Lizzy. I missed you."
The light flickered and Lizzy gasped when she saw a man's face. "Pike." She whispered before being knocked unconscious.
When she woke, Lizzy felt someone stroking her hair, "You caused this, Lizzy. You did this to me." Pike whispered to her,
"Did what?!" She asked, scrambling to her feet,
He pinned the girl to the wall before she saw his face again. It was different. Pike's eyes were yellow and his cheek and brow bones were more visible.
"Vampire." Elizabeth stated with fear in her eyes.
"You betcha, baby." Pike smiled before reaching towards her neck. She punched his face, forcing him away from her.
"Help!" Elizabeth screamed as she made her way up the stairs. Pike grabbed her ankle and pulled Lizzy back down. She hissed in pain as she cut her hand on a nail in the wall. Elizabeth kicked his hand until he let go.
"Hey, buddy!" She heard someone punch another and Elizabeth looked down to see Angel. She watched from the stairs as Pike and Angel fought. All of the sudden, Pike disappeared and Angel fell on the floor.
Elizabeth stumbled to the ground and went over to Angel, "Are you okay?"
He looked up at the blonde with his vampire face, "You're bleeding." After he said that, Elizabeth realized what kind of situation she was currently in. Blood and vampire don't mix, especially when you're in a relationship.
Lizzy quickly wrapped her hand in her shirt, hoping the bleeding would stop. Angel helped her stand and the two went upstairs, "What about the sun?" She asked him,
"You've been down there longer than I thought," Angel replied before Lizzy looked out the window. It was night time.
ONCE THEY GOT OUTSIDE, Angel lifted Elizabeth up and he brought her to his apartment. He sat the girl on his bed and left to get a first aid kit.
While Lizzy waited, she looked around the bare apartment. There was the basic wardrobe, dresser, a small kitchen connected to a living room which also happened to connect to the bedroom. Basically, this apartment was all one big room except for the bathroom.
Angel came back into the room and kneeled in front of her and opened the kit. "This is gonna sting." He said before grabbing Lizzy's hand and cleaning it with an antibacterial wipe.
She hissed in pain and Angel had to hold her hand still. He quickly wrapped it before placing the kit to the side, "Who was he? The guy that attacked you?"
Elizabeth looked into Angel's eyes, "Well, technically, he was my ex."
"Technically?" He questioned,
"We didn't really date but, we liked each other. He was my date to a school dance and... he died." Elizabeth took a deep breath, "Vampires attacked and Buffy set the gym on fire." Tears filled her eyes, "And he never made it out."
Angel paused before looking back into her hazel eyes, "I'm sorry."
The blonde shrugged, "It happened a while ago. Before I even came here."
"Is that how you got your scars?" Angel asked and she ran her fingers over the scars on her neck, where she was bitten by a vampire and the blonde nodded,
"I was bitten at the dance. And Pike, he saved me. But when he was fighting the vampire, Buffy set the gym on fire. He told me to get out, that he was right behind me." Tears filled her eyes, "Once I was outside and figured out that he was still in the gym, I tried getting to him. Buffy stopped me and moments later, the place exploded."
Angel wrapped his arms around the crying girl and pulled her into his chest. She snaked her arms around him and buried her face into his chest. Lizzy prayed that he wouldn't let go.
She's never told anyone what happened that night. Buffy was the only one who really knew, but that's because she also witnessed Pike's death.
