❝ 'Cause baby now we got bad blood.❞
Nikki was left to pick up the pieces when Buffy left her behind, broken. Her friends had established themselves as a Scooby Gang as she became more reckless and careless, she was a Slayer without a cause. What h...

Yawning to myself, I walked into the student lounge where Xander and Oz are sitting on one of the couches across from Willow, who was excitedly reading through a pile of papers that was piled up on the table in front of her.
Dropping my bag, I jumped onto the couch next to Willow and picked up a few of the brochures lying on the coffee table, "What's this?" I asked, flicking through the pages where stuffy looking smiling faces were printed.
"Good morning to you too, Nikki" Xander grinned sarcastically as I pulled a face back at him before Willow takes the brochures from my hand with an excitable face as she hands me other collegey things to look at.
"I'm being wooed," She told me with a grin as I nod in understanding. "Like they're actually wooing me, but it's so much pressure. I-I got into actual colleges, and they all want me" I smiled fondly at the redhead.
"Of course they do, Will, you're amazing," I tell her as a subtle blush reaches her cheeks "any college would be lucky to have you."
Putting the papers down, I fold my legs up on the couch. "You'll be the college girl, Xander will probably still be living in his mom's basement, Buffy and I will still kill things that go bump in the night, and Oz-"
We all look towards Oz, who had been listening with that straight expression of his "Will always be Oz" the black-haired boy just nodded slowly as if he agreed with what I said before holding his fist out for me to bump.
"Oh, yeah, before I forget, Giles said he wanted to talk to you, and Buffy told me to tell you she'd meet you there" my stomach dropped a little at her words, Giles and I still weren't really on speaking terms, but I was still Slaying and practicing with him just – silently.
"Did he say what he wanted?" Willow shook her head at my words as the two boys watched on. "Okay, I guess I'll go there now," I muttered anxiously.
Picking up my bag, I tried to stall a little as Willow gave me a look. "Damn it," I grumbled, turning away and walking towards the library.
Peeking through the library window, I saw Giles sitting on the study table facing the doors with his arms crossed and looking very bored while Buffy was next to him with a similar annoyed- bored expression.
Frowning, I quickly noticed another man in the room; he had dark brown neat hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and dressed just like Giles, this wasn't good, but still, I had to do what I was called to do.
Pushing open the doors, I gave my sister and Giles a quick nod as I walked closer to them; the man immediately noticed me and smiles condescendingly. "Well, hello. You must be Nicola", he smiled smugly again.
Giving Giles the first actual interaction I had initiated in weeks, my eyes met his "New Watcher?" I asked as my sister snorted, seeing me giving the guy a quick survey before jumping up and sitting on the counter.
The librarian looks shocked for a minute before it passes, and he nods, "New Watcher," he told me with a sigh as Wesley takes a step toward me and holds out his hand in greeting, almost like an excitable puppy.
