Love at First Sight: The Slayer and Her Champion
by BelovedSlayer
As soon as Buffy the Vampire Slayer got to her feet, looking up at the tall vampire that threw her over past the mausoleum at Sunnydale cemetery, she used all her supernatural strentgh to double punched him in the face, his body knocking over and breaking a couple of dark tombstones nearby.
Buffy smiled at the ugly vampire, and at the same time, pulling out a stake from her back jeans pocket.
Not wasting any time, she threw the stake like a football onto the vampire's dead and cold heart, the vampire exploded into brown dust, his ashes disappearing with him.
"Score one for the Slayer," Buffy cheered when she grabbed her stake and walked through the cemetery, leaves rustling under her feet as the full moon glowed over the tall trees, making the cemetery even look creepy at night.
The perfect place for monsters of the Hellmouth to hang out at night.
She looked down at her chest and saw the cross necklace Angel had given her when they were little.
It always brought great memories of him to her mind but since it was a very long time since the last time she saw him, she thought it was better now to forget about him and start moving on.
She wasn't ever gonna see him again and she had accepted that.
She was too busy at the time being the Slayer and Champion of Sunnydale to even think about him for even one moment.
But she couldn't help being a bit sad that she didn't have a partner with her to help combat the forces of evil.
She hated doing all of this alone. It made her feel alone and empty on the inside but she had to accept it.
She wasn't gonna see him again. not ever and that's that. Buffy then stopped walking, hearing a rustling a few feet behind her by where the tombstone stood with the angel on top.
The bushes behind it rustled even more loudly as Buffy took baby steps towards it, her heart pumping loudly agaisnt her chest, holding on to her stake more firmly when a vampire of sorts jumped on top of her, making her lose her stake.
His game face was on when he tried to nibble Buffy by the neck, a look of intense hunger shown on his face, his yellow eyes glowing brightly.
Buffy struggled to push the vampire off of her but he was too strong, even for the Slayer.
Buffy then stopped struggling, feeling something familiar about him, noticeably his spiky brown hair glowing against the moon's glow.
Buffy's body trembled violently when she said,"Angel? Is that...you?" the vampire then stopped trying to bite her, looking at her in shock.
He stared at her, then pushed his body away, not wanting her to see what he had become.
For a few minutes, Buffy couldn't believe what she was seeing. Angel's face transformed back to human, looking more gorgeous and mysterious than ever before, even at the time he was little.
Buffy was speechless, tears began to pool around her eyes.
"Don't look at me Buffy. You don't even want to look," Angel snarled, his body actually warning her to stay away.
"What.. happened to you Angel? You became a vampire all this time?" she questioned, sitting down on the dirt, not caring if she got dirty.
Angel didn't answer her, wasn't even looking at her still. " Were you a vampire when we were kids huh?" Again Angel didn't answer.
Buffy approached him, grabbing him by the arms fiercely. "Answer me Angel!!! Tell me the truth!! I need to know," the Slayer yelled angrily, a teardrop fell onto the ground. Angel just stared at her sadly, beginning to answer her.
"Y..Yeah, I was. Are you happy now?" he snarled, pushing her away when she fell to the ground again. He didn't want her near him, he was too dangerous.
He was afraid he might hurt her.
"No, I'm not. I want to know where you were all this time. Do you have any idea how long I've had waited for you to come back into my life?" Buffy yelled, still angry at him. Angel didn't answer.
"Eleven years. That's how long I've had waited. While you were gone, I was chosen by the Powers That Be to become the Slayer. Their warrior, their Champion while all this time you were gone, doing who knows what. Do you have any idea what I've been going through, through all of this?"
"I'm 16 years old, going off to high school, finding out I was the Chosen One, the girl that had to save the world from the forces of Darkness, having friends, not having a social life at all, aways hunting vampires every night while risking my life."
"Do you have any idea what I was going through? Of course you don't. You were too busy disappearing into thin air without telling me where you was," Buffy spat bitterly, staring at Angel with a fierce anger.
"How was I suppose to know Buffy huh? I had to make myself stay away from you. If i didn't I would of been putting you in danger. It's not easy being the other Champion for the Powers, telling me that I had to stay away from you and save innocent people at the same time."
"But you don't understand what I was going through. Buffy? You don't"
"Huh? Did you say you were the Powers' other Champion?" Buffy asked, surprised showing in her voice.
