Twin: wounded
by whiteslayer
Buffy slowly walked into the reception area of the hospital, looking at the date she realised it was also the night the bloodbank deliveries were made, she could now kill two birds with one stone, but she never got that whole thing, two birds, one stone...

"Hi, Im um... looking for Bray Croft? - he was supposed to start at sunnydale high and, well.. i just wanted to make sure he was ok to start on monday?" Buffy digressed around the truth knowing full well that she would be most likely locked up in a crazy room.

Buffy smiled and nodded as the nurse gave her the room number and a brief direction point, buffy walked slowly and went down the corridoor and up the stairs to her left, something she felt deep down inside still wasn't right.. and it wasn't just the wiggins from being in a hospital. it was a feeling that something was coming, it was like a prickly feeling on the back of her neck that ran down her back and spread through her stomache like an icy chill.

The blonde slayer walked up to the door, room 314.. she knocked and slowly pushed the door open, the curtains were open and cast a wish wash of colors over the room, pinks and oranges blazed against the slayer as she proceeded and saw the boy laying in the bed.
He had blonde hair shaved short and his blue eyes were ice and seemed to melt as buffy came into the room, his body was tanned and he looked like he played alot of sport, Buffy smiled a little.. His bandages were still on, one across his chest and one on his neck, he would of been all of what, 15? she liked that, well in the way that hey! he was her age..

"hi, Im Buffy Summers, im from" she started and was cut off mid sentance by the young man, she looked at him, how could something do this to him, and how had he gotten himself into so much trouble..

"Your from Sunnydale High? - i had principal Snyder in here earlier.. he said you'd turn up and that" Bray slowed and winced in pain as he sat up and looked at Buffy "that you're trouble..." he looked at her and shrugged a little, keeping the pain from his face

"oh.. im.. wait im.." Buffy was pissed, fucking snyder and his asshole self!

"But i REALLY didn't like him.." he said with a small grin on his face while he motioned for Buffy to sit down

Buffy sat down slowly and asked him questions about the otehr night, he seemed to pull back at some questions, like he was trying to hide something, while they tallked Buffy found that like her, Bray's parents had broken up when he was just 14, around the same age as her, and he had only just arrived here two days ago.. "welcome to sunnydale, and here if your first free mauling!!" buffy quipped and they both seemed to laugh.

"So you dont know what it was? it looked human right?" Buffy enquired more into the suspicious attack that he had been a victim of.

"it WAS human, well... kinda.. it came from behind, but it WAS a human, the doctors said i lost some blood, but i feel fine again now, and my wounds have healed fast.. see" Bray pulled back the bandage from across his neck and the mark had feded, only a small red lovebite-type mark remianed, he did the same with his chest, only a few stratch marks reaimed

"wow.. you healed fast.. does that normally happen?" Buffy wondered in her head if this boy was a demon boy, or something of the sort...

"I've always healed fast, my Mom always said i had my sisters essence inside me.. that it meant i had the healing power of two people, rather than one." Bray looked down as he said that and then took a deep breath and looked back up at Buffy and explained further "I was a twin at birth, Me and my sister, something went wrong during the birth and she died in the womb.. the doctors said it was a miracle i was still alive - that i should of died.."

Buffy's heart sank, she never had a sister or brother before, she had wanted to know what it would be like with one, but nevertheless she ignored it, she had her Mom and that she was thankful for, she decided it was time to go, Buffy looked at the clock, she had been in the room with the young male for just under two hours and it was getting darker outside.

"So you'll be at school on Monday then?" the Slayer asked Bray. She had no question in her mind that he wouldnt be there, he seemed the school type

"yeah, i'll probably be a little worn out, but i will prevail!" he smiled and looked at Buffy thankfully "thanks for coming and making sure i was ok, Its nice to know people care" he slid down a little lower in the bed trying to get comfortable

"Its alright.." Buffy said lightly and innocently "It was nice to meet you.."

Buffy stood and walked to the door, waving goodbye she pulled the door closed behind her and walked back to the reception area, she couldnt stop thinking there was something Bray wasn't telling her, something more to his story than he let her know about.
