In this story Buffy is born on October 12th, 1992. Everything else between the first season and her 18th birthday are cannon mostly, except that Spike has been keeping an eye on her and follows her when she goes.

Summers Residence,
Sunnydale - October 13, 2010

It was after my Cruciamentum, when things changed, again since life just can't seem to be normal for me.

"Mom" I yell as I walk through the door, I wonder if she's okay?

That damn psychotic vampire, what were those watchers thinking? Assholes. They weren't thinking, that's what.

Walking into the kitchen I see my mother laying on the floor, I run over to her quickly and drop to my knees beside her head.

"Mom, mom, mom wake up, damn it." I say with a cry as I quickly grab a phone and dial 911.

"Hello, this is 911, what's you're emergency?" A ladies voice asks.

I can't stop the sob that escapes my lips "My mom, she's, she's on the floor and I can't. . She's not moving. Help, please."

"The EMT is on its way" the lady says "please stay on the line. Is she breathing?"

I swallow thickly, shaking my head as a sob escapes my throat.

"Take your time, but it is very important to know if she is still breathing."

I check my mothers pulse "NO" I say as I begin to sob. "She. . . there. . there isn't any. .s s she doesn't have a pulse."

From there time just seemed to stop for me, I couldn't hear the lady's voice on the phone, I couldn't hear the sirens blaring, all I could do was cry.

When I came back to myself Giles was with me, his arm wrapped around my rocking form and as I looked at my father figure and then I cried all over again.

Why is this my life?
Why do I have to give up EVERYTHING just for those around me to abandon me or for them to die?
Am I such a horrible person that I deserve this?

I don't remember going anywhere, I don't remember Giles picking me up and carrying me to the couch or how I got through the night.

But I couldn't eat and I couldn't. . I just couldn't. . How can I do any of this anymore?

3 Days Later - October 16th 2010

I could feel Xander, Willow, Giles and Cordelia watching me as I just sit there. Perhaps I should eat but how can I?
I'm only 18. My mother is dead, my mother is dead and my father, my so called father doesn't care.

What am I going to do, can I take over the house? I'll need to get a job, maybe two, I'll probably have to drop out of high school too. . .

"Buffy. . Buffy"

I turn to Giles with a frown and he hands me a phone "you have a call Buffy." He tells me with a sad smile as he pats my head.

"Hello?" I ask quietly as I look at the floor in the living room.

"Miss Summers?"

"Yes?" I say with a frown.

"As your mothers Attorney I have some files that I am required to give you, I was wondering when a good time to come over and deliver them to you would be?"

"Now" I say immediately. Why wait? Might as well get this over with now.

"Of course, I'll be over in about an hour." He says as the line goes dead.

With a sigh I set the phone down and Giles peeks back in "everything alright Buffy?"

"Just my Moms Attorney." I tell him with a sad smile, Giles smiles sadly back at me as he sits beside me and pulls me into a hug, a fathers hug.

About an hour later the man arrives with a knock on the door, I open the door and gesture for him to enter, I lead him to the living room and I sit down hesitantly on the couch.

He opens some folders and begins handing me files "these are the files your mother wanted me to deliver if she died from her tumor. There's information about your real father, all confidential, I wasn't allowed to look at it. But there's also a number for a man by the name of Whistler."

As I look through the documents I find one that says

Everything seemed fine even as I was looking through them. . That is until I see something that Can't be possible, my fathers name is hank ..

father: Niklaus Mikaelson.

"Your information must be wrong, my dads name is hank" I tell him angrily.

"It's not" the attorney says as he hands me another piece of paper "your mom says that your real dad doesn't know about you, but she's been having me keep an eye on him. His current location is in . . Mystic Falls Virgina right now. She's been having me keep tabs on him since you were born just in case something happened to her."

"and what do you expect me to do with this information?" I ask him in disbelief, this can't be true, my dad is Hank. Not this Niklaus guy.

"Your moms wish is that you would go and meet him." The attorney says as he stands up "and if you happen to be in school to hopefully finish it near him so that you can get to know him better."

I watch the Attorney leave in silence while looking at the paper in my hands.

"Want me to go with you?" Giles asks me as he looks at the paper with a frown "I swear I know that name from somewhere." He mumbles.

"Would you?" I ask him with a frown "I know you just got fired because of me and it wouldn't be fair to drag you into my messes all the time especially since it's all my fault."

"I want to take you, your friends will probably be finishing up school here and I wouldn't be surprised if the replacement shows up if you decide to settle with your father but you're like a daughter to me Buffy."

I hug him tightly and wipe the unfalling tears from my eyes, no more crying. I'm stronger then this.

It's time for me to pack. "We'll leave tomorrow?" I suggest. Perhaps my new father will have some answers for me there. Was I really a secret to him? Or did he know but not care about me?

Is that why my . . Why Hank stopped caring for me?

Or did he find out after/during my trip to the Psych ward perhaps?

That'd explain his shift in attitude, even if he still cared about me a little.

Spike arrived in town shortly after the Slayers '18th'

He's been watching carefully for the last few days now, he knows how it feels to lose a parent.

He'll just have to follow from the shadows until he can speak with her, what confuses him is how she seems to be packing tonight, what did he miss?

It's no matter, he'll follow the slayer anywhere.
