Joyce
The next day I went back to my moms place, I didn''t call for Joyce, I figured that now I'm so strong as I am, I didn't need anyone driving me. I could take care of myself...
Boy, was I wrong.
"Hi."I opened the door of mom's house.
Dawn stood up. "Hi. How are you doing ?" she asked.
"I'm cool, a bit freaked out I guess. But that doesn't make it any less cool."
"Good, that's good."
While mom and I were talking, Joyce, who was in the room too, went upstairs again.
"Okay, why does she always do that ?"
"Do what ?" Mom asked like she didn't know what I was talking about.
"Why does she always go upstairs when... OMG... she's a vampire, isn't she ?"
Mom faked a laugh and I looked at her very seriously.
"W... why would you think that ?"
"Well... I euh...I euh..." I hesitated.
"Yes ?"
"It just hit me that, that her car has blinds over the widows. And every time we come here, she goes upstairs, so I'm guessing that she really doesn't like me or that she's a vampire." I said.
Mom sat down and invited me to sit next to her.
"The blinds on the car are for me, for when I go away, I can't be exposed to light, it burns on my skin." she explained.
"Ooh... Sorry..."
"And as for Joyce, she has a sickness. She has a problem with people, she doesn't want to be around them, cause if she is, she sometimes hurts them."
"I don't understand, the first time I saw her in the orphanage, she was fine and when she drove me here and picked me up." I said.
"That's because I put a temporary spell on her to forget her fears. I had no choice. I couldn't drive you until you knew, witch you now do" Mom looked away, I guess she was ashamed she did that to her niece.
"Has she been like that her whole life ?"
"No, she's been like that since she found out about vampires, demons, witches, slayers... you name it. And knowing that her father was a vampi.... ahjaj I shouldn't have said that."
I was shocked. Joyce' father a vampire ?
"Yes, Spike was indeed a vampire." Mom answered.
My mouth was full of teeth, and my eyes widened.
Then I realized something.
"Is Spike the guy from your notes ?"
"Yes."
"OMG, I can't believe I'm such an idiot. She slept with Angel and with Spike, I totally forgot. Is that why you never told Spike about Joyce, because he's a vampire ?"
"Yes... I'd love to tell you more, but nothing about Joyce for a few days, it's hard for me, and if she would find out, she would be very angry. I'm the only person she acts normal to anymore. She trusts me, and I can't loose her trust."
"I... I understand. I'd better go, sister Nadia is all over me... If I'm a second to late, she'd probably ground me for life. She's very weird."
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then..."
I was gone before mom got a chance to say goodbye, I just wanted to be back on time and I wanted to search something out about Joyce, cause I don't entirely trust mom's story. Especially now that I'm the slayer...
***
So I search the net for some clues, and yes, I had a lucky break.
Dawn Joyce Summers, daughter of Buffy Summers, father unknown. The computer said. It also said that Buffy Anne Summers died a month ago, so when Joyce told me her mother died when she was she was eight, she was lying. Unless... I don't know what I was thinking, I just knew something wasn't right. And I was going to find out what.
