This takes place in the 5th Season, so you won't be confused about when, it
would be a little after "Forever." The whole robot thing never happened
because I wasn't feeling that whole thing and I didn't like Spike getting
beat up like that, so it never happened. Even though it didn't happen,
Buffy is still gonna be a little nicer to Spike than usual. This was the
first fan fiction I ever wrote. I wasn't gonna put it in the website
because I thought it was kinda lame, but I'm bored so I decided to type it
up and put it in here, of course I changed a lot of it. I obviously don't
own anything; if I did things would have been better on the show. Anyway,
fill free to tell me what ya'll think, all comments are welcome.
Chapter 1
A young girl with long, dark, wavy hair was running through the cemetery as fast as she could. She thought her heart would pound out of her chest at the rate she was going, but she didn't stop. She knew her life depended on it. The man behind her was quickly catching up so she kept running. "You can't run forever." He yelled at her to get her attention. "I will kill you!" The girl knew that he was serious so she would never stop running. Her legs were about to give up on her, but she didn't stop until she came upon a store that said "The Magic Box." She ran inside hoping that he wouldn't follow her in. When she was inside she quickly closed the door behind her. She stood there trying to catch her breath when she heard someone behind her.
"Can I help you?" She turned around startled. The man had a British accent and he seemed friendly enough. She was so out of breath that she couldn't seem to find her voice. "Are you alright?" He asked when he noticed how startled she was. After a few seconds she finally found her voice.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied. "I'm just tired from my...jog. I'm just here to look around." The man nodded.
"Yes, well I'm Mr. Giles. If you need any help with anything feel free to let me know or you could ask Anya by the cash register." She looked over at the perky blonde girl at the cash register and nodded.
"Thank you!" She claimed. He nodded and walked away leaving her alone. She didn't know if it was safe to go back outside so she decided to look around the store for a bit. There were all kinds of magic books and potions for casting spells. Suddenly she felt right at home. She heard a noise coming from the back of the store so she decided to check it out. She saw a blonde girl that looked a little older than her beating the stuffing out of a punching bag. She had great strength and seemed to be in good shape. It looked like she was about to punch a hole in the bag. After a few seconds she stopped and grabbed a towel and wiped her face when she noticed that she wasn't alone.
"I didn't know I had an audience." She said.
"I'm sorry! I just wanted to see what the noise was. I didn't mean to interrupt." The other girl shrugged.
"Don't worry about it. I needed a break anyway. I'm Buffy by the way." She said holding out her hand to the girl.
"I'm Alex, it's nice to meet you." She said as she shook Buffy's hand.
"You too." Buffy replied as they dropped hands.
"Do you work here?" Alex asked and Buffy shook her head.
"No, just a friend of the owner." She looked at her watch. "The store is gonna close soon. Did you need help with anything in particular?" Alex shook her head.
"No, I was just looking. You have some pretty good skills with that thing." Alex said as she pointed to the punching bag.
"Yeah, well I've had practice." Alex nodded.
"I guess I should go now, wouldn't want my...mom to be worried." Buffy nodded and watched the girl walk away. Buffy didn't know what it was, but she had a feeling that something wasn't right. She just shrugged it off and headed back to the punching bag.
