Inbetween the Lines

"In every generation, there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer."

At least, this was the way things tended to work, back before the world knew Buffy Summers. Now, every girl with the potential to be a Slayer was a Slayer. But not every girl was truly meant to be the Slayer, in the end. So the experts say.

When young Joe (Real name; Angelica) Loranger meets a wide cast of likeable and dislikeable characters, she's suddenly forced to bring back her past, and face grim truths about herself she never wanted to admit, while fighting to stop an evil more ancient than the earth itself from escaping its twisted prison.

(Yes. This is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanfiction. Yes, it is next generation. No, almost none of the characters have any relation to the original characters. Yes, Spike is in this story. Because it wouldn't be a BtVS fanfic without him.)
