HISTORY LESSON

Buffy Summers was born a normal little girl…normal until she
turned fifteen and found out about demons, Vampire to be
exact, it was just before she learned about a little thing
called the Slayer. The one girl in all the world chosen to fight
the forces of darkness…blah,blah,blah. .


She has since then saved the world countless times with the
help of her friends and died three time in the cause. The first
time was when she was only 16 at the hands of a Master
Vampire, who drained her almost dry and left her in a puddle
to drown. Her friend Xander had performed CPR and brought
her back. If her life was not complicated enough then some
monks decided to have her guard a mystical key, which they
put in the form of a baby sister complete with memories of
growing up with her and all. .


Her second death was to close a portal started by her sister,
Dawn’s blood, her blood, Summers blood, Slayers blood. Her
friends thinking she was in a hell did a spell to resurrect her
and unknowingly pulled her out of heaven. The third time
was all Angel’s fault. The once love of her life was a souled
vampire. He did what he could to help those in need to
make up for the crimes his demon committed. The last thing
he did was try and take on the Senior Partners of Wolfram
and Hart, a law firm ran by some of the old ones. He took on
the most powerful demons able to enter this plane of
existence and turned LA into a war zone. Buffy and her
Slayers arrived to help after the coven in England told them
what they saw happening. By the end of the battle both
champions of good and evil lay dead on the streets. .


Spike himself had also died a number of times. He was turned
in the late 1800’s then his real journey began over a hundred
years later when he met the little blonde slayer. He had been
the slayer of slayers, the only one being to have killed two
and lived to tell about it. Something about Buffy changed
things. He had finally met his equal in every way and fell
instantly in love with her. They both fought the connection
between them but it was destined to be. .


He regained his soul for her and gave his life to close the
hellmouth on which they lived. She mourned him deeply,
more so than anyone ever knew. Then he was brought back
by Wolfram and Hart, who had hoped it would be Angel in
their debt. When they found out it was Spike they hoped to
use him to get rid of Angel. Instead he joined Angel and for a
while tried to give up Buffy. .


He was afraid that his sacrifice would mean nothing now that
he has back again and that she would take back the last
words she had said to him before he burned in the hellmouth,
“I love you”. He had waited so long to hear her admit it. He
verbal dismissed her claim to make her leave before she was
trapped with him. His long dead heart however gave one
last beat at her words. .


During the final battle in LA he was beaten and bloody but
giving everything he had left to the fight with one thing in
mind, it was one less thing to come after his beloved after he
died again. He was in shock to see the little blonde, who held
his heart in her hands for so long, jump over his head and
engage the demon in front of him in battle. She yelled as she
began punching and slashing it with her sword. Her words will
be ingrained in his memory for ever, “GET OFF OF MY BOYFRIEND”.


Angel had turned hearing her voice. His heart broke when
he realized she was saving Spike and claiming him as her
love. In that moment the lizard demon he was fighting got
the upper hand, his teeth sank into the middle of the
vampire. Spike felt his Sire in trouble and took off knowing
that Buffy could handle it. He jumped up and brought his
sword down on the creature neck with enough force to
cleave its head from its body. Angel lay there still caught in
the creature jaws as his blood flowed out of him. Spike
looked at him with a tear in his eye. For as much as he hated
Angel he was still his Sire and the loss hurt more than he
thought it would. .


Angel smiled up at him, “My beautiful boy. Take her and get
out of here. Take care of each other. I see now she was
never mine. Never meant to be mine, but yours all along.
Love her for me. I see you both standing in the sun. Live for
me William.” Angel said as his life slipped away.


“Hey now peaches your sounding like Dru. I got the girl but
you will always have a part of her I can’t touch. You know
that. Now don’t think you're going to dust on me yet you
bloody poof. We can get you somewhere safe until we can
get some blood in you. You’ll have a long recovery but you’ll
be fine and fighting in no time.” Spike cried as he looked at
his Sire wishing his words could be true. .


“No me boy, my time here is over. I was destined for nothing
more than to bring you two together. I know that now. T’is my
damned Irish pride that finally killed me.” He said his brogue
becoming more pronounced as he motioned to the chaos
around them. .


Buffy came running up at that moment. “Oh Spike” she said
as she flung her arms around his neck. Noticing that he pulled
back and put distance between them she looked down and
finally saw Angel laying there dieing again. “Oh my God,
Angel. Spike lets get him up and out of here. There is more
coming and my girls can’t hold them for long. I’m sorry Angel
the rest of you crew is dead.” She brushed back his hair from
his face tenderly like a mother to a child. .


“I’m sorry Buffy. My pride did this. I got more blood on my
hands. Leave me. You and Spike get out. Live for me. Love
my Childe like you where meant to. He’s never had someone
who could match him in every way. Never had someone
who could love him and much as he loves. I’m sorry for all the
pain I caused you both.” Angel said his voice shaking from
lack of blood and overwhelming emotions. .


Angel let out a scream as the lizard like demon bit down
harder before it began to burst into flame. Spike was thrown
back before the fire could touch him as Buffy tried to put it
out or remove Angel from the flaming death that was
already consuming him. “No Angel don’t leave us. I can’t
lose someone else.” Buffy screamed. .


Angel looked up at her as the flames engulfed him. She had
to step back from the heat of the fire. “Buffy take care of my
sweet William. I will be seeing ye again soon girl. Promise.”
Angel said before his body was nothing more than ashes. This
was the second time she had to watch him die. He may not
be the love of her life but he was her first love and there is
spot in her heart that was only Angel’s. Spike understood
because he to had a place that only his Sire could fill. .


He wrapped his arms around Buffy as they both cried over
the loss of someone dear to both of them. A scream brought
them back to reality. Without a word the two fell in to sync
like they had all those times on patrol and battling the first
and it’s minions. They moved like one being. Each an
extension of the other, protecting each other and helping
each other, knowing what was needed without saying a
word. They caught up with the Slayers and the remaining
Scoobies. .


Willow and Xander watched the blonde pair enter the battle.
Dawn smiled as she turned back to fighting the vampires
before her. Willow began casting spells again and Xander
swung his ax into the demon he was fighting. A few of the
Slayers watched the two enter the battle. One or two of the
girls also had the ability to see auras. They had to look away
from the two as they shone brighter than the sun. .


Even without the sight one could see these two were
connected as they moved with purpose and determination.
In the end the two were covered in blood, some their own,
some each others, but most of it belonged to the enemy
they had slain. They collapse with the last of the Slayers. All
the demons that where sent after them where dead, but
most of their friends where as well. Only a handful remained
and they where all fading fast as exhaustion and blood lose
caught up to them. They sat back to back but holding on to
each other as they gave their last breaths dieing with a smile
knowing they had won this battle. .


By some miracle some of the fallen where given a choice to
come back. They were granted immortality until such a time
as the world did not need them or others arose to take their
place. Of those that took the offer only Spike, Buffy, and
Dawn decided to stay in LA and clean up the mess left
behind. After a few decades people forgot about what
happened and the demons went back to being myths and
legends along with the saviors who were praised by some
and feared by others and hated by some who knew what
had happened. .


That had been nearly three hundred years ago. The Council
had gone back to it’s old ways. Buffy, Dawn, and Spike quit
having anything to do with them. Xander was the only other
one of their friends who decided to come back. He came
around every so often to see how they were doing but mostly
he hunted. He now knew that not all demons are evil just as
not all humans are good. So he is not a demon hunter but he
hunts evil. He even hooked up with Riley and a few others
who left the military after one to many Maggie Walshes. .


Riley came to terms with Buffy and Spike and became a
friend again. Andrew had continued to try and make the
Council what Giles had wanted it to be until his death.
Unfortunately they had another Quentin Travers running the
place now. Urban Investigations tried to find the Slayer when
they could. After so many died in LA it returned to being one
born into every generation. .


If Buffy and the group found a potential or a current Slayer
they told her what she really needed to know about Slayers
and Demons and offered support when they needed it. This
pissed the Council off to no end as they wanted to get
control of the Slayer again. Due to Buffy’s help many of them
lived into their thirties. It was found that once a Slayer
reached 30 another would then be called and the old Slayer
could resume a “normal” life. .


They did not lose all their power but they only had their
heighten senses and a little extra strength. Once this was
discovered Buffy had also set up a group so they could help
each other adjust to their new status. Before long a new
system was started. Watchers now trained potentials, Older
Slayers prepared the next for life after Slaying and they
trained the new Slayer for life as the Slayer. It all worked out
fine until the newest Travers tried to change things back to
the old ways. .

Buffy told them under no uncertain terms that the American
Slayer where hers and the Council was not allowed to
interfere in the states or they would be considered a threat to
her family. She also told them that if they did not know what
that meant they needed to reread her history. .


The trio had taken on different names and pretended to die
every so often so no one asked why they were alive still.
Dawn had taken a husband or two over the years but had
yet to find what she was looking for. Part of her still hoped
Xander would realize that she was in love with him and had
been since she was created. .
