The basement.
"It was a time of sorrow, of war. There was only death, horrible death. We thought things would never get better."
"What happened ?"
"A gift. A warrior woman came down from the sky and she rid the world of demons, of evil."
"Who was she ?"
"She called herself 'The Slayer'. She had long, beautiful blond hair, like you Buffy. We never knew her name, or where she really came from."
A girl named Buffy was listening to a story her grandfather was telling her. She was listening very carefully to what he said. Cause it was foretold that this year was going to be the year that the demons returned to spread their wave of evil again.
"What will happen when they return ?" Buffy asked her grandfather.
"I don't know, I honestly don't know." her grandfather said a little scared. "We'll just have to wait." he said.
"Wait ? Wait for what ?"
"For her, the one and only, 'The Slayer'. Buffy touched her grandpa's shoulder and she gave him a kiss on the cheek and went to bed.
He stayed up a little longer, he poor something in a cup, something that looked like alcohol, and he drank from it. On the cup, the name Rupert Giles was written.
The next morning Buffy awaked with a bruise on her arm.
"How did I get that ?" she asked herself confused.
She got out of bed, picked some fresh clothes to wear today and got dressed.
When she got downstairs, her grandpa wasn't making breakfast as usual.
"Grandfather ? Are you in here ?" she said after looking everywhere and now finally she stood on the top of the stairs of the basement and she was calling out for her grandpa.
She never liked the basement, and she didn't want to go down there. But when there was no response, she had no choice but to go down there.
It was a dark and musty, old and dark basement. And it smelled.
She had a flashlight in her hands and she walked further downstairs. When she got all the way downstairs she saw something in the distance, it wasn't her grandfather, it was something else.
When she was about to take a closer look, she heard a door slam.
"Buffy ? Are you awake ?"
She hurried upstairs, cause she wasn't supposed to be down there, he didn't want her too, he thought he had told enough scary stories to make her stay away from the basement. And it worked, until today.
When she got back in the kitchen, her grandfather was standing there, looking very mad.
"Young lady ! What were you doing down there ?! I thought I told you to never ever go into the basement!"
"I... I was looking for you." she said very quietly. For the rest of the day she stayed out of sight, she didn't want to do anything else wrong, he was mad enough, and because of that, she totally forgot to tell him about the bruise on her arm...
She never even asked him what he was doing out of the house at this time a day. Normally he only goes out after three o'clock. But she didn't bother asking him about it, she'd only make him madder.
